I couldn’t bear to listen any longer

First of all, let me say that I LOVE the Wallflower series. I originally read (actually read) the books. I am a Lisa Kleypas fan and have read many books by her. I was looking for something to listen to while driving, and since it had been years since I read these, I downloaded this one to enjoy. I may have made it to the 4th chapter but couldn’t handle the narrator anymore. I’m a little spoiled by narrators like Jim Dale and Saskia Maaleveld whose character voices are wonderful. I am now going to have to pull my book down to finish the story because I won’t be listening to it.

Abridged version

I like the story and have read the book but am rather disappointed with this audiobook because it skips parts of the book all throughout the reading. It skipped the prologue, combined a couple scenes and edited several others. It’s an abridged version but doesn’t claim it in the description.

Love the Wallflowers

I truly enjoyed the alliance of the Wallflowers. It was great to see their bond form, develop, and succeed. The romance between Anabelle and Simon is believable. I do like when a historical romance novel takes us into the couples married life which this novel does. I find that what happens after the heroine and hero marry to be even more entertaining than their falling in love story, and seldom do we get that. Let’s face it, a marriage ceremony hardly makes a HEA. Here, we do get to see how the marriage evolves. I wish that the story of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt would continue, for they are a great couple; and, saying goodbye to them seems wrong. Nonetheless, this is a good start to the stories of the Wallflowers. I am happy for the time I spend with them.

VERY disappointing!!!

I purchased this title in Audible but now wanted to reread it. I was astonished when I was told that I had to re-purchase this title as Ms. Kleypas had “altered” it, and my original purchase had been removed from my library!! However, if there were any alterations, they were not evident and certainly not worth the price of a double purchase. I am so disappointed when money seems to be more important to an author’s publisher than honoring a fan’s previous purchases. (I’m doing Ms. Kleypas the favor of believing she had nothing to do with this.)

So much potential...

Loved the supporting characters.

Book was off to a good start, but then took a steady, fast-paced nose dive.

There is zero character development. I just did not care about the main characters at all.

Love this story in its original form

Love this book series and its characters. I didn’t like the revision as much as the original, but it’s still one of my favorite by Lisa Kleypas. I’m also a big fan of MJ Wells narrations.

Great read

I enjoy how the series is consistent with characters from previous books. It’s fun and comforting to see there growth and the growth of their families.
Very good read it if you get. Chance check out the entire
Series.

beautiful!

This was like a poem written in story format. Such a beautiful story with dramatic love lines. The narrator did a great job too. The story line is very similar to North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. I LOVE this book and plan to relisten in the near future.

Another wonderful Kleypas

Although this isn’t my favorite of the Wallflowers series, I do enjoy it and enjoy watching the relationship build between Simon and Annabelle. I have read the book and listened to the narration several times and have no doubt I will again in the future.
