Fun, loved this collection

It is time for the holidays and what better than to listen to some holiday audios that will put you in the holiday mood. This is a set of stories that are touching, fun filled with romance and laughter with a little pain until they work it all out.
The Christmas Catch
Is a story of a woman who lost her husband before her baby was born. For many years she did it alone not looking for love which may bring more pain. She spent all her time with her son giving him all the love she had that is until her friend sent her on a holiday to house set there she meets a man who is hard to forget.

I really enjoyed the characters the little boy is a delight and brings so many smiles and laughs. Christine is a hard working mother but needs to give her son more attention. Once they hit the road on their first vacation in a long time Christine runs a man off the road, such a wonderful sweet man she can’t forget. John has the same issues with those amazing eyes one look just isn’t enough.

The Holiday Bride
What a very touching fun read so far the best of the boxset. I can’t tell you how many times I have laughed out loud at all that goes on. The humor is outstanding as well as this short story of lost love, unsure love, and family love.

Mistletoe in Maine
I thought this was a fun read but didn’t care for it as much as the one before. The humor is still the, the plot is good and the characters easy to relate to. It is a story of starting over, finding a new love and two families becoming one. I loved the plot and the moose was cute. The characters are easily likable.

Beach Blanket Santa

A story of misunderstanding, one night together what happen and who did what turns out to be something that could changes these two relationship. I thought the plot was good, the characters very likable and was a lot of fun to listen to. There is a twist here that is very surprising not only to the reader but to the characters. So many years wasted if only they would have talked it out years ago things could have been so different.

The narrator did a wonderful job pulling the listener in putting so much emotion into the stories from laughter to fun that you can hear the emotions. I really enjoyed her child voice as well as he male and female ones. She truly brought the story to life. There are no background noises, no repeating of wording, no volume changes. Her performance was outstanding and given with power, confidence. A true pleasure to listen to her work and easy to believe what you are hearing. I had no trouble picturing the scenes and loving the story being pulled in from the start.

This is a wonderful holiday story filled with love, laughs and fun that I totally enjoyed. The plot is great as well as the characters. I truly loved everything about these characters and how the story is land out. At times my heart broke for both main characters. It was truly a delightful romance giving me many hours of enjoyment. The author gives a few surprises that truly leaves you with your mouth open and smiling all the way. I can’t wait to listen to the next one in this series.

Wonderful stories, hated they came to an end!

If you could sum up The Holiday Brides Collection in three words, what would they be?

Well written stories!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Holiday Brides Collection?

They were great well written and for once good love stories and NO SEX!!!!!!!
That is very rare now since since Fifty Shade came alone. I wish to thank the author for this gift at the holiday season.

What does Susan Soriano bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her beautiful singing far too little of it.

If you could take any character from The Holiday Brides Collection out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Paul, I understand him and it would nice to sure those feelings

An ok series. Short cute stories.

I liked the series over all. If you are looking for some short cute stories, then listen to these.

Awful

Only made it part way through to story two. The first book had one interesting character as did the second. The remaining characters were boring.

Can't do it

I hate giving low reviews. I always think wow this person wrote/performed this book and I am in awe of all creativity.

But I have tried 3 different times to listen to this compilation of books, but I just can’t seem to do it.

The narration is just okay and if the stories were better I think I would be able to accept the mediocre performance.

I wish I had something fun or encouring to say about the story lines but I don’t.

So I give up and won’t finish this series.
