When We Met

Fool's Gold, Book 13

De: Susan Mallery

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

New York Times best-selling author Susan Mallery invites you back to Fool's Gold, where a newcomer to town might finally meet the man she never knew she needed.…

Angel Whittaker earned his scars the hard way, but the scars that can't be seen are the ones that haunt him the most. Since he moved to Fool's Gold, California, he's cobbled together a life for himself as a bodyguard trainer. If he's not exactly happy, at least his heart is safe.

Working with pro-football superstars taught tough-talking PR woman Taryn Crawford one thing - she can go toe-to-toe with any man. But then dark, dangerous former Special Ops Angel targets her for seduction…and challenges her to resist his tempting kisses.

Even in four-inch heels, Taryn never backs down. Unless, somehow, Angel can convince her that surrender might feel even better than victory.

Loved the book!!

I have read several of the Fool’s Gold books previously but never finished the series. Was happy to pick up where I left off and it did not disappoint! I’m a sucker for a chick flick/easy read.

Love the story, narrator not so much

First thing I noticed was that the narrator makes the characters sound like they are in their 80's. Okay, maybe not 80's but 60's. It is difficult to get into when you can't really grasp the age of the people you are reading. I was really disappointed by this and will probably not listen to anything by the narrator again.

Another happy ending.

What made the experience of listening to When We Met the most enjoyable?

Tanya Eby brings the characters to life. I also listen to books while I work and audible makes it very easy for me to enjoy them . It makes all the difference to have a good narrator.

What was one of the most memorable moments of When We Met?

When Angel understood that it's possible to have love again while still honoring the family he lost.

Have you listened to any of Tanya Eby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

All of the Fool's Gold books plus others. I like her narration. Some narrators just don't work for me, but she does. I never have any problem listening to her.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I usually manage to find humor in all the Fool's Gold books. I love how everyone will help to get each other through the rough spots.

Any additional comments?

This is one of the series that I always preorder when I know about them.

You can do it story

How to live with loss, of family and find love by giving and teaching others.

Great read

I initially didn't like the tone & inflections in Tara's voice since it was quite different from the reading in Three Little Words" but it seemed to work out. Although I kind of figured that they'd end of together, the storyline was very nice. I'll definitely buy the next book in the series.

Life

This book was thoroughly enjoyable, two life scenarios help make it funny. The narrator did a wonderful job. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

The lisp is very distracting.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I found the narrator's lisp very distracting, especially when she attempted the lower male voices.

Any additional comments?

I guess I will have to stick to the readable version of this story.

Just bought this book - cannot listen to it.

What would have made When We Met better?

If I could listen to it.

Could not listen to it..

Any additional comments?

Wasted my money...

No tension, all tell

I've read books by this author before and don't remember them being so lackluster. There is far, far too much tell versus show. Description after boring description, all told as matter of fact. A scene with a ladies lunch in which they all introduce their back stories (i .e. Previous books), was particularly stiff and marked the start of my waning interest. There is no tension between characters; from the start both characters have tacitly agreed to be together, their only hurdle mutual commitment phobia. The narrator enhanced the feeling of what I can only describe as a romance procedural. I just couldn't finish; after just half way through I decided to spend time with better books.

uncatching

this is the 2nd book in the series that I could not get into for some reason. it did not catch my attention at all. I restarted it 4 different times but ...
