short but sweet

Classic Nora Roberts. Predictable, but the characters are interesting and likeable .
Kate Rudd is an excellent narrator.

Rereading

Enjoyed reading this story many years ago. Nora Roberts is one of very few authors that I enjoy rereading

Just Fluff

This was just a little too far-fetched for me. Not the usual substance in earlier Nora Roberts stories. Kate Rudd's narration was not enjoyable. I wanted to like the book but her male voice was drone and bland. I wouldn't recommend it if you want an interesting story.

Narrator awful

I love Nora Roberts but this narrator ruined this book for me. Yuck. Her voice pierced my ears every time I listened to this. Couldn’t finish the book.

Old Style Romance Book

Reminds me of the Harliquin Romance books I used to read. If you enjoyed those this book is for you. I love NR newer books.

Just a short love story

I was disappointed in the story. It was a short read, and, It was very predictable from the very beginning. Narration was good for Rebecca, however, Stephen lacked any enthusiasm.

poor

Nora Roberts is a favorite but this is only the second book I couldn't finish. The premise was boring and the narration was down right painful. The male character comes across as one from a cheap nautical novel.
