Simone: Adventures in Dating (Boxed Set), Books 1-5 : Adventures in Dating

I haven't read the print version, but I loved the audio version. I picked this up after listening to CARPE DiEMILY, which continues Simone's adventures. CARPE DiEMILY is one of the funniest books I've ever read, so I didn't know if this one would measure up. It did, and then some. I loved how this book wrapped up, leading right into CARPE DiEMILY. The author did a good job of tying the two books together. Both books are strong in story, humor, and characterization.

All of the characters were great: Simone, the billionaire, the cop, the cowboy (OMG, just wait until you get to that book!), the attorney...all were done well and with realism and humor.

I enjoyed the humor in this book. The scene with the cop, when he's surrounded by the old ladies, was hilarious. I also loved the scene with the cowboy and his "truck." I laughed so hard at that scene that my husband wanted to know what was so funny. I played it for him, and he busted out laughing, too. Then he borrowed the book to listen to on his way to work. He really liked the book and said it was very funny, so this book definitely appeals to both men and women (my guy usually only likes sci-fi, so that's saying a lot!). It helps that there were some steamy erotic scenes, LOL. Really, all of the scenes in this book were good. They just got funnier and more enjoyable as the book progressed. I grew to really like the character of Simone as the story developed. She's the entertaining friend we've all either had or wish we had!

I laughed A LOT! I love this author's humor and writing style. The narrator was great. She brought a nice dimension to the characters, and her humor was spot-on.

I liked the unexpected moments in this book, and the things I didn't see coming. This book was anything but predictable. I would say it's one of the more original, fun books I've listened to. It was over much too fast.

Witty, funny, engaging.

I loved Simone as a character. She's strong and funny with a quirky personality. I loved following her dating adventures (or, I should say, MIS-adventures) as she searches for love. This book just got funnier with each chapter as Simone keeps meeting one Mr. Wrong after another. The situations she finds herself in are hilarious! We've all had bad dates in life, and to read about Simone's unique and funny dating travails had me in stitches.

Everything. She made the characters come alive. She made this book even funnier with her creative renditions of the characters.

I would take out Simone. She would make any party a hoot! You never know what's going to come out of her mouth, LOL

This book was one of the best books I've listened to in a long time, and I listen to A LOT of audio books and am very picky. The writing and narration in this book were top notch. I enjoyed the humor, the romance, the characters, and the steamy scenes. The story moved along at a nice pace, and I never knew what was going to happen next. The characters were unique and quirky but also realistic with good back-and-forth dialogue. I would have to say that this book was unlike any book I've ever listened to. It's truly in a league of its own. 5 stars for originality and enjoyability.
