Sweet Talk: A Novel

Buchanan-Renard-MacKenna, Book 10

De: Julie Garwood

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

When FBI agent Grayson Kincaid first encounters Olivia MacKenzie, she makes quite an impression. The beautiful, tough young attorney has stumbled into the middle of an FBI sting operation and reduced it to chaos. Months of surveillance and careful planning down the drain, Kincaid’s partner is furious and lets Olivia know that she’s ticked off the wrong guy. After all, he’s FBI.

But Olivia isn’t intimidated by his partner’s bullying because she’s something even scarier...she’s IRS.

And working for the IRS is no picnic. She’s on the trail of an elaborate Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naive and unsuspecting victims, and one she has personal reasons to be angry about. But after she asks the wrong people questions, her life is suddenly endangered. She’s accustomed to looking out for others who are weak, but being vulnerable herself makes her realize she needs help. In desperation, she calls Grayson Kincaid.

Together they join forces to fight corruption, but Olivia is also fighting the immediate and intense attraction she feels for Agent Kincaid, and that may be a battle she is bound to lose.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"As always, Ms. Garwood creates engaging characters who come alive page after page. The banter and interaction between Ellie and Max is beyond charming. Ellie is a spirited and strong heroine, and Max is charming in a stoic, gruff sort of way." ( New York Journal of Books on The Ideal Man)

"Julie Garwood creates masterpieces every time she writes a book. Indeed, she is the Rembrandt of romance novels." ( The Kansas City Star)

"Julie Garwood has become a trusted brand name in romantic fiction." ( People)

Narrator

The book is great just didn't like how the narrator read the book. I love Julie Garwood books.

Change

I love all your books but I don't like listening to a woman play a man overall

Loved this book!

Julie Garwood‘s novels about FBI agents are the best!! “Wired” is just as good as this one, and I’m planning to read all the others in the series.
These books have romance, humor, suspense,
action . . . what more can you ask for? Totally worth the credit!❤️😍👍🏻

Love the story but the narrator not so much

What did you love best about Sweet Talk: A Novel?

Classic Julie Garwood. I love her stories and writing style.

What didn’t you like about Angela Dawe’s performance?

I don't like the inflection at the end of every sentence. I almost gave up listening because it was very annoying. I kept listening because I had read the story and LOVED it.

Any additional comments?

If you haven't read the book and the narration discourages you from listening then buy the book and read it!

Story Yes Narrator No

The story is good but the narration is not successful. She makes the male characters that are supposed to be young and sexy sound like a 85 year old man with a smoking problem and all the women sound the same. She also sounds a little robotic.

COULD HAVE BEEN A GOO ONE!!

Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Angela Dawe?

DEFINITELY!!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

IVE LIKED THE OTHER BOOKS IVE LISTENED TO VERY MUCH, AND IVE GOT TO SAY I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE. HOWEVER IT IS SO IM PORTANT TO HAVE THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB AND THIS CASE YOU DO NOT. THE NARRARTOR IS SO NOT INTO IT AND EVEN PRONOUNCES SOME WORDS INCORRECTLY. I MIGHT READ BOOK TO GET MORE OUT OF IT.

Was Sweet Talk: A Novel worth the listening time?

NO HAPPY TO GET THROUGH, SORRY I WASTED MONEY ON IT.

Good story - narrator drove me nuts

The sing/song voice of Angela Dawe just was more than I could handle! I will not listen to another audio that she narrates !

Verbal scrimmages and full characters

The storyline was really good and I've replayed the book over and over. Hope she follows through with the other two pips.

Stepping into a Julie Garwood book is a true gift.

I love the strong, sassy Olivia, who was abandoned by her
Mother, Father and Sister during her treatment. The Pips
have a strong bond and are there for one another. I
loved her Aunt, who loved and cared for Olivia.
Olivia meets Grayson Kincaid, an FBI agent when
she's caught in the middle of an FBI sting. They have a
strong connection. We all need a Grayson Kincaid,
Mrs. Garwood's books are timeless, I read them over
and over.

What a fun, entertaining story!

Love Love Love this book! Love the characters, love the story, love the narrator. Just an all around pleasure! Have listen to this story five times! One of Julie Garwood’s best!
