Perhaps a little too abridged

I bought this book specifically because I had a mundane task to do that would take 3 hours. The reader did an excellent job with characters and accents, the book was a nice light read, and filled the required time-slot.

But, this book was almost too short. I couldn't help but feel the romance would have been sweeter, and the characters a little more sympathetic had this not been chopped down so much. The romance was there, it certainly wasn't a unique or grand romance (just the usual types of plot devices that one sees in many romances), but I didn't expect much more than this. I think I might rather have spent my book credit on something with a little more substance. But if you are looking for a fast and light listen, then this is your book.

(A warning -- main characters in this book are followers of the the ancient order of Vanza, so if you are a stickler for "keeping it real", you might find this little add on of supernatural-kung-fu-meets-mysticism all a little goofy.)

Good listen

I like the unabridged books best so I would have prefered to hear the longer version of this book. The reader was very good and it was a great way to pass 3 hours. I love Amanda Quick so if you like her books you will like this one.

Love love love love it!

I absolutely love this story. It’s one I read twice before I started listening to this abridged version. I’ve now listen to it at least a half dozen times. The story is wonderful. It’s funny, romantic, intriguing, and thoroughly engaging. Edison and Emma are two fantastic characters who are extremely well suited. The narrator Ms. McTeer is the best at her craft. She has an amazing talent for voices I never have any trouble distinguishing between the characters who are speaking, and she seems to have an endless supply of voices! She brings the story alive; when I listen to it it’s almost as if I’m watching a live performance. Every time I listen to this story I LOL. I only wish she’d narrated more than just one other Amanda Quick novel. I highly recommend this book!!!

Great Read

I always enjoy stories by Amanda Quick. This story was so fun to read that I stayed up all night to finish it.

love this book.

I've have read this book 2 and bought the audio version to listen in my car. The reader was perfect for this story.

Good for an Abridged edition

The narrator does a wonderful job with the story, but a lot is cut out.

This is an abridged but first in the Vanza series.

Abridged version but paid $4.95 so I got what I paid for. If you want the full version look for the full copy.

Wish this one was longer.

love it!

Many years ago I listened to this novel while I was painting in the heat. Loved it so much, I started it again upon its completion! Just as good today. Fast paced, hokey, interresting, fun!
