One Summer

I found this confusing at best,boring at worst.There was too much going on for me to keep up with. Nano Nagle was a fine narrator. was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

A Parisian Affair

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is a story that starts with grief and ends with a fling. It is a love story, but not a love forever story. In fact there are several love stories, the one for a lost child, the one for a rebellious but so lovable daughter, new love, old love, young love, love of adventure, vicarious love, love for a new start. It is all there in the streets of Montmartre, expressed in its art, joie de vivre, ancient cobblestones. But its also the story of profound grief for the loss of a son, a wife, a brother, a grief that is about to destroy the remaining family members. This break from the everyday life is just what the doctor ordered. Away from the constant memories and familiar places, the healing process can finally really start. And it is this healing process at the end that it's at the heart of this book. Nicely written and narrated, you will enjoy this different type of love story.

Great!

Unique, well written and fantastic narration - this was fantastic!

Paris, Art, and Love, The Perfect Trifecta

I loved listening to One Summer in Montmartre. It was multi-layered with parallel stories and well-rounded, likeable characters. I think the author Teagan Kearney did a fabulous job writing this story. It was descriptive and dreamy. I'll look for more audiobook by this author. I really enjoyed this one.

The narration by Nano Nagie was exquisite. She had such a lovely voice with excellent voice inflections while portaying the characters perfectly. A great pairing with author and reader. I'll look for more from her as well. i'd recommend this one all day.

Or, Two Summers and several aspects of love

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request from AudioBoom and agreed to give an honest review. I liked this book, and I'm glad I listened to it. I'm not sure it's one I would have picked out on my own as it is not your typical romance, despite its subtitle. Anna, the contemporary heroine, is close to my age (i.e. not young!) and her fascination with a work of art combined with her despair over the loss of her son leave her vulnerable and unsure of the foundations in her life she previously thought sound. Her research in Paris uncovers a century old love story between a painter and his subject while it simultaneously allows her to explore passion from an unfamiliar perspective in a new-to-her city. There are no heart-stopping moments of excitement, but the story gently peels back the illusion of love to reveal the foundations important in every relationship, regardless of time or place.

A Wonderfully Refreshing Love Story

This is not your typical romance story. This one is quite complex and intelligently written. The characters (past and present) are nicely developed. This story goes back and forth from the past (the letter's story) to the present. It's really refreshing to hear such a well written love story. It's not perfect love or insta-love instead it's more like real life. I'm not talking bad about most of the romances I own, I love reading and rereading those stories but this one is more for those who appreciate the intricacies of human love. The narration was great! Nano Nagle has a very nice voice and did the many voices of the characters with style and proper emotions. Overall, an intricate and complex love story that pulls you in and keeps your interest to the last word.

One Summer in Montmartre

Not one love story, but two... Anna is researching a note she found attached to the back of a painting. It leads her to Paris and she uncovers the story of a painter and his muse. What she didn’t expect was to also find something to ease her broken heart.

Teagan Kearney does a fantastic job of going back and forth between two different time periods and two emotional love stories.

Nano Nagle really brought the characters to life. I really felt the emotions.

Great story

I was looking forward to listening to this book as I was on my way to Paris and Montmartre.

After the main character finds a letter behind an old painting, it gives her a reason to go to Montmartre with her daughter. The narrator did a fine job of going back and forth between times, (the artist time and present). I enjoyed this story.

Nice Story

I got this ARC via audiobook boom. This story begins very slow but picked up after the baby's birth. It was twisted and wrapped around two sets of people. The letters were the best part of the story for me. The narrator was not my cup of tea but she did a good job of bringing the story to life.

Sweet

What a bittersweet story. Excellent narrator, and my favorite part is the one that plays off in the past.
