Cute, Funny and Sweet

I passed this book over a few times until it went on sale.
I gave it a try mainly because of Sebastian York.
The problem is he only narrated the prologue.
Why does audible even bother to list a narrator who literally narrates 5 minutes at the end of a book?
I feel like that's just false advertising.
I took star's off because I was expecting dual narration.
I already think it makes no sense to have a female doing male parts and a male doing female part's when you have 2 narrator's.
If you catch this book on sale it's worth killing a few hour's listening to.
But worth a credit? I don't think so.

TOTALLY ADORABLE

This book had me laughing out loud before I'd made it through the first chapter. Everything was right about it, my only exception is Shayna Thibodeaux's narration, it's 'nasally' in some ways, and her reading sounds like one huge run-on sentence---8 hours of this, becomes a little much. I love the humor and sass of Alice Clayton books, and this one had it in spades! If you're in the mood for a light-hearted romance, that will probably make you want a snack, NUTS is a great option.

In the Minority

Any additional comments?

I usually don't write reviews but I wanted to make the listener aware. This book had more description than story line. Every detail in the book whether it was food,a farm, a kiss, a phone call etc. was described above and beyond. The were so many adjectives and similes that I was put off just wanting to get the story which never seemed to come. The book had a great potentiaI but instead of developing the character and storyline I felt there was mindless chatter. Not worth a credit.

Fabulous story -- great character interaction

The plot is about a private chef (Roxie - Chef) moving home and meets Leo (Organic Farmer). Girl meets boy. Okay, but what really stands out is the dialog. Clayton created a conversation style in this novel that sucks you in big time. The dialog goes from charming to funny to endearing to.... There are genuine moments where you can't help from smiling. This is not a spoiler. I found the Bee scene very funny.

The narration in this novel is outstanding from both Thibodeaux and York and makes the work come alive with a heartbeat of its own. Listening is so much more enjoyable than reading it I would think.I have listened to the Cocktail series from Clayton and loved it. I recommend that series as well.

This The Hudson Valley Series is off to a great start. Give it a read. You will not be disappointed.

Laughed so hard!

What made the experience of listening to Nuts the most enjoyable?

This book is hilarious. Great story and romance but the humor really seals the deal. If you haven't listened to any Alice Clayton books before this is still a good intro. They are all great.

What other book might you compare Nuts to and why?

Wallbanger. Listen to it. You will love the characters and laugh too. The Redhead series too.

Which character – as performed by Shayna Thibodeaux and Sebastian York – was your favorite?

Roxy

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yep. People driving next to me on my commute were looking at me like I was nuts because I was laughing out loud like a crazy girl while listening to it.

Love, love it!

Really??? Just a little York.

This book was great and I love Shayna Thibodeaux. But other than I love Alice Clayton's books, I really love Sebastian York narrating a book. Never get enough of him.

This story line was good, and the HEA for Leo and Sugar Snaps was the best.

I enjoyed this book. The story was sweet and loving. What I call a feel good romance. Nothing major stands out, just a heart warming story with no major drama or misunderstanding which I love. The narration was great too!

Lost interest

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Meh. I didn't hate it but there wasn't a lot of character development and tension. It was quirky and light-hearted, which is great if that's something you like. But other than her having a crush on a guy who immediately gets in her pants, there's not a lot of conflict or tension between them.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It's a very easy read, but again, I like a little more substance in my stories, especially at what we pay for them. More character tension and conflict, otherwise it's all too easy.

Have you listened to any of Shayna Thibodeaux and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was Nuts worth the listening time?

I didn't finish it. I lost interest.

Sweet, Sexy and Laugh out Loud Funny.....

I usually pick up all of Alice Clayton's books. Some I love (like Wallbanger) some others not so much. This one is spot on and some of her sweetest writing. It's a classic girl goes away, comes home, meets boy, falls in love, and decides to stay story. The characters are unexpected, even a bit ordinary in a good way. The situations are hilarious and the narrator makes them even more funny. Shayna is spot on with the characterization! The banter between the leads is fun and realistic. There is a big HEA at the end, yea.

If you are looking for light and sweet, this is worth the credit. Enjoy your Nuts!
