excellent story great voice for it loved the hole

wonderful story to listen to can't Waite to start my this book on audio. great sound, great story great performance.

loved the story

loved everything about the book except the voice used for Dr. Kimball. I realize it was a woman doing a man's voice but it was just weird. other than that, terrific book.

Perfect comfort book

As a big fan of a lot of Nora Robert's books, I was happy to find, that I liked this one very much. It differed a little with a ukrainian main character. I enjoyed the family bonds and hope to revisit them in the next book. I thought the narrator did a fine job with accents (though you should take that with a grain of salt, since I'm not ukrainian) and was altogether pleased with this book. I am definitely interested in the next in this series.

Taming Natasha

Love the story. The characters that Nora Roberts creates are full of depth and humor. I read this story years ago and loved every moment of it and couldn't wait to meet the others. I did not care for the narrator. Her voice fell flat and left me thinking of a nasally, whiny child.

Great book

love this book. the characters are very easy 5o relate too. hope to see more

Sweet

I really liked the depth of this story, and the characters rang true. I will continue with the series.

Predictable, but still a nice listen

An Americanized immigrant toy shop owner meets a widowed father who has a charming daughter. A love story ensues. The characters are likable and the evolution of the story is predictable. That said, it was an easy listen and I enjoyed it.

Not bad, but not great

I think it’s important to remember this book is 31 years old. It was written when our Beloved Nora Roberts wasn’t the polished, exceptional writer she is now. In a time when no didn’t always mean no. Before Me Too. BUT I still think the bones of the story are good. I like the characters.

I do agree, however, that the performer was a little obvious with the accents.

It's Nora Roberts

I enjoyed the book... I almost gave it a four star but really not one of her best. Basic storyline with a few twists but really basic stuff.

It did take me awhile to get passed the narrators attempt at a Russian accent but it grew on me.

If your looking for a quick no brainer listen, this will work for you.

Absolutely love this book

This is one of my all time fav from Nora Roberts. It's about my 5th or so time reading this book except this time I listened it in audio format. A very beautiful and touching story.
