Weak male and female, poor narration.
What did you like best about The Italian's Suitable Wife? What did you like least?
The storyline should have made for a great read but the female character was spineless and the male character insecure.....all made worse by the terrible narration. I have never disliked a narrator before but she was so wrong for this book it just ruined it.

Great Story
If you could sum up The Italian's Suitable Wife in three words, what would they be?
Romantic, fascinating and thrilling.
What three words best describe Lindsay Ellison’s voice?
I do not like her narration of Gianna's voice, it makes her sound blah........
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I would listen to this book in one sitting.

not bad for a bodice ripper
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not particularly, but I was also doing my housework at the time so that isn't totally true.
Did The Italian's Suitable Wife inspire you to do anything?
I kept on waiting for the female lead to grow a back bone. It didn't happen.

It was a nice story with just a good amount of angst.

Ugh.
I was really excited to listen to this book. Was even enjoying it in the beginning, but then things progressed, where I felt and thought, "What did I miss? How did that happen?"
I am having difficulty putting this into words...
this book was offensive to me.
Fertility issues were addressed within the first couple of weeks of marriage.
Adoption was frowned upon by the heroine.
No communication between main characters...
We didn't get a chance to understand the leading man either. It was like reading a "one sided" book, and because the heroine was so insecure, we were unable to "read" into his behaviors.
I hope I make some sense. The heroine was a sweetheart, but needed more backbone.

Oh, how I loved this book. It was one of the sweetest things I've read in a really long time. The love shown in this book was so tender and overwhelming that I found myself crying as if I were the main character. Thanks for such a great story and a wonderful emotional adventure!
