Somebody to Love

De: Kristan Higgins

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns-a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled . . . even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.

Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC.

Favorite from this author

I really liked the Best Man. But this story was very endearing and a good story/romance. I enjoyed it/liked it better. Thanks!

Good series

This was my favorite of the series and I enjoyed the narrator, it’s a nice change from Xe Sands.

Somebody to love

I liked it. A few twists. It is neat, listening to some of the characters from her other books. You always wonder whatever happened with that person. I enjoyed it and recommend it. I also did speed up the volume a tad. Who could not like a happy ending.

Heartwarming story

Definitely the best of the series. The main characters were relatable and layered. Enjoyed the reappearance of previous characters from the series. As Book 2 did not have an epilogue, reading this was a must and well worth it.

Love this author

I really enjoyed this story. It is sweet and draws out all the emotions! It’s just a fun romance novel that you can’t wait to see the ending and feel good about it.

Great story

The narrator did a fabulous job, as always. The story line was pleasant and kept my interest. It was just what I needed during this stressful time.

Not as Great as other K Higgins

I usually enjoy Kristan Higgins books but this one seemed like a slapped together, quick-buck novel. It was okay for playing in the background but overall I didn’t care for the character development, story line, etc. All of it was very expected.

Not as good as other books by the same author.

Would you try another book from Kristan Higgins and/or Justine Eyre?

I probably would try another book from both. I "listened" to Catch of the Day and enjoyed it very much. Was disappointed in the storyline for this one.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kristan Higgins again?

Yes I would listen to another book by Kristan.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Actually, I liked the narrator. I though she was the best part of the book. I liked the different voices she used for different charcters.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

I think the story had potential, but I thought it fell short in many aspects. Especially in areas regarding Nicky and James' family. It also lacked the humor that can make a romance irresistible.

Any additional comments?

Try listening to Catch of the Day first. Not only will it familiarize you with the characters, it is the better of the two books.

Such a good story

I have read this one several times and lived it. I love getting to see the Gideon's Cove gang, and Parker and James' story is so good... and the narrator just nails it. Especially Lavinia's voice. I laughed so many times at what that old gal did.... thank you for many enjoyable hours.

Glad to have another book in this series- but...

I loved the first 2 books in this series but, it was hard getting used to the new narrator! I It lost a lot for me because of that- I kept thinking how much better it would have been had they kept Xe Sands as the narrator- I finished it but didn’t love it as I had the others
