excellent story great voice for it loved the hole

wonderful story to listen to can't Waite to start my this book on audio. great sound, great story great performance.

loved the story

loved everything about the book except the voice used for Dr. Kimball. I realize it was a woman doing a man's voice but it was just weird. other than that, terrific book.

Perfect comfort book

As a big fan of a lot of Nora Robert's books, I was happy to find, that I liked this one very much. It differed a little with a ukrainian main character. I enjoyed the family bonds and hope to revisit them in the next book. I thought the narrator did a fine job with accents (though you should take that with a grain of salt, since I'm not ukrainian) and was altogether pleased with this book. I am definitely interested in the next in this series.

Taming Natasha

Love the story. The characters that Nora Roberts creates are full of depth and humor. I read this story years ago and loved every moment of it and couldn't wait to meet the others. I did not care for the narrator. Her voice fell flat and left me thinking of a nasally, whiny child.

Meh!

So when a narrator can't do a male voice it can make or break the story. Christina Traisters female voices were just ok in this book but the male lead sounded slow and dim witted. That, my friends can ruin a story in a hurry. This story itself was slow and it was hard at times to keep my attention. Sorry, but I'd skip this one. Use your credit on any Susan Elizabeth Phillips "Chicago Stars" series book and you'll understand what I'm saying about GREAT narration making a book come to life!

A classic Nora Roberts love story...fun & well written!

I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a interesting love story with excellent character development. This isn't one of her mysteries or romantic suspense novels but it's a fun story with excellent characters that you grow to care about quickly.

I thought sweet wonderful romance

I understand some of the reviews are upset because Nora typically plots some type of mystery but I find comfort in this sweet and simple story.

It wasn't overly sexual didn't have a lot of the typical a morale things that one finds in today's contemporary romance.

A little raunchiness is fun to read about every now and then, but so also is wholesomeness.

One can find passion in both the erotic and the more innocent.
