Ideal for comfort and enjoyment


(5 stars)

Thank you to this talented narrator! I am transported whenever I listen to this book. I find more depth the more I hear it, and it must be a dozen times by now. It's one of my go-tos for comfort and enjoyment.

fun read


(5 stars)

Very enjoyable story and the narration is superb. The lilt in Kara’s voice fits the story well and one always knows which character she is quoting.


(4.5 stars)

This is a very good book that is a tad bit difficult to read, but is an overall great story! I would defiantly read this again.

Great story - a lot of fun, and a sweet romance. Well read, as are all of Kara's readings. :)


(4.5 stars)

Narrator was great, but the story was just a little underdeveloped. Not much depth, but happy ending at least.


(3.5 stars)

Enjoyed the story. The reader was consistent, could use some pre reading to improve inflection and timing.

Lovely story


(4 stars)

A coming of age for a young woman. Masterfully read as usual by Kara.
