Disappointing book...😞

I have to agree it is very difficult to finish this book. First the narrator is horrible and the quality of the sound is awful...it is a shame AUDIBLE. You have a reputation and a brand to keep, it is not about the money people pay to listen. Even for free, you should take it out and make it right!
I loved Ruth Cardello's book Lone Star Series and then I started to search for other books but this one was a disappointment...
The story was simple and the heroine annoying at times (very shallow and with a weak back bone).
I do not know if she improved with time but I might give her another chance. Andrade's series not so sure...

Okay

I was going to give this book a 4 star until Juliette moved in with Geo. It was like all her strength as a character just left. I felt like the plot needed some work. It takes about a day to get from New York to Europe but the author made it seem like a few hours. How did Julie get home from Venice. It's not a cheep flight for a women who was supposed to be broke. I liked Julie. I thought she was refreshing but the author made Geo too mean for too long in the book. The sex scenes felt rushed and not too sexy. This book needed to be longer in order for the writer to take her time with character and plot development. The book felt too rushed.

Nice story.

I read the reviews for this story and they seemed mean spirited to me. The story, the narrator, the speed and the sound quality were all criticized. I like both the story and the characters. The narrator was great too. I like the narrator from the earlier books as well. The speed can be controlled by a selection on our device and I wasn’t distracted or annoyed by the background noise. I barely noticed it. This will be one the stories I’ll listen to over and over.

good start for the series

It had a mix of all. love, stubbornness, meddling, hate and loads of good wishes.

Terrible sound quality

I really can’t say anything about the book itself, because I never made it past the 2nd chapter. The tin-like sound quality made it impossible to listen to anymore. I had hoped it was only in the first chapter, but that wasn’t the case. I normally enjoy Ruth’s books, but I will pass on this one.

Grammykk

I really enjoyed the story but the narrator was not so good. In most of it she read too fast for my liking and just didn’t put any flare in her reading.

pass on this one

inflection from the narrator was very off. story line was just not as good as the other family.

Good book

I enjoyed this book very much. As usual Ruth Cardello has written a story that captivated me. Gino and Julia start off their relationship with a bump on his head and as the story progresses are involved in a very bumpy ride.
But of course, as is true of the majority of romance literature, there is a happy ending.
I loved the way Gio had difficulty believing he had done anything wrong whenever he upset Julia. He had a lot to overcome in that department, but in others he was superb. And he was very romantic, sometimes to the extreme, but I'm not complaining - it made good reading.
Julia is not a dumb bimbo by any means. She comes across as responsible, caring, level headed and very lovable and has a great sense of humour.
The narrator, Kim Thompson, did a good job.
I just have a complaint with the quality of the recording as the constant buzz in the background was very annoying.

come away with me, even better

I really enjoyed reading this book but now listening to it made the experience double. I love how this narrator read it. Her tone matched each emotion exactly as I read it myself.

Story awesome, fuzzy performance I can get over

The story itself is awesomely me. I haven't found a book by Ruthie that I haven't lived. The preformance was good, however the staticky sound in the background can be a little distracting. On a good note after a while I Got used to it so it didn't bother me but either way I enjoyed the book.
