listener for amusement

If you like a story so unreal and stupid then this is for you!

Revisado: 11-17-21

The premise of the book was a good idea but It was like a 13 year old girl wrote it was so ridiculous and unrealistic. For period pieces it’s OK when they’re unrealistic with a little humor this one was just plain dumb I couldn’t stand it I couldn’t listen anymore.

A surprise clever ending

Revisado: 08-20-21

Reviews are subjective so here's one person's take ...I am not British but I really enjoyed and get this writers humor! My 2nd book of hers. The story went a tad long and I felt annoyed a bit in a few sections as it gets a bit heavy ( but the writers humor is always present ) ... the story gives you at the very end, a lighter thoughtful decision making ending with happier people. The end both surprised me and made me laugh. Suddenly that's it the story is over. I felt satisfied and the end is open to your own interpretation or thought.

PS I am not a writer hope this makes sense.

Let down unlike her more interesting earlier work

Revisado: 07-13-20

I just re listened to some of her earlier writings 3 of them I have listened to a few times they have amusing twists and turns.
These last 3 just not the same particularly this one. I could not finish it.

Whimsical and fun

Revisado: 07-11-19

I really enjoyed this work. A couple of reviews said it was boring and unbelievable. Duh... it is not exactly reality and it is delivered with humor and a nice amount of romance and it is back a bit in time so it both delighted and surprised as did cupboard kisses which is even funnier.
I want to sail away to another interesting world personally. These 2 books did the trick.

Not a 100 percent fun ride

Revisado: 02-01-19

The Hating Game was such a fun experience and the characters all made me laugh with delight plus there was the witty-ness of the boy girl game romance and the parents on both sides were real and interesting characters the workplace characters funny and real too. it all was great right out the gate, original and fresh. Plus the narrator further made it funny.

So this one I can not finish it kept loosing my attention and interest it is flat compared to the first book. Kind of grating for me, felt a little trite.
Maybe partly the narration or its just me cause most reviews in the actual book reading world ... it is loved not talking the narrated version.
There's only a few reviews so far on Audible. So on that note you must at least try it. :-)

I love Lisa's stories but this dissapointed me

Revisado: 07-02-18

Ironically if this was Lisa's only book I probably would not have one complaint but because she is the best in this field ( to me ) always fricken funny and the romance part is always perfect, soooo good... reality no longer interests me after she designs these characters, Ha ha. Still in love with the idea of the gypsy in the Hathaways.
Anyway this one was not as inventive or something it felt more glib, did not send me. But please please keep them coming. It must be hard to keep them coming when all are waiting. Lisa really is the best at this.
Thanks for doing it!

Just not as creative as her other books

Revisado: 06-23-18

This one was just OK compared to her others. I really enjoyed the crazy creative twists and emotional responses to be had in most of her books especially the gambling club series. So fun.
The recent last 2 books including this one are entertaining but sort of flat. I wanted to be surprised more or something like her earlier books. Whatever that special ingredient was seems not to be there.
The narrator also is not my favorite but I can get past that because Sarah's stories are good.
Just one listeners viewpoint. We are all different in our tastes and likes.

Narration kind of ruined this story

Revisado: 01-30-18

What disappointed you about Keep Her Safe?

Mostly the narration did not match the characters. The girl characters are suppose to be from Texas and Robin Eller's ( nothing against her voice ) voice did not sound right at all she enunciates words perfectly but has a city girl vibe to it and does not go with the characters. One of them is supposedly on the Herion drug but way to fast talking for someone in that state. This was someone who supposedly was in a state of Herion apathy as the story's character was written.
On top of that the male voice was way too soft speaking for the male characters and sounded silly and not right for the girl characters.

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

That is a personal opinion choice thing. But I did so love her saving water series of 4 novels that each one of the stories connected but took one on a crazy fun adventure all in different locations I have listened to them all more than once.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

I think Sebastian York would been matched up well. Don't know for the girl narrator.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Just not for me compared to the k a tucker's saving water series, this was flat and more serious or something there were no real surprises or creative twists.
I feel that is a personal thing and would not take seriously my take on the actual story to each his own. Again just the narration killed it for me.

Any additional comments?

I believe to each his own opinion on a story and what one enjoys about it. I like surprises on a story and a little more upbeat.
