I enjoyed the story and generally I love Mary Jane Wells character voices, but Adelaide’s voice was so hard to listen to as it did not match the voice of a younger lady. Someone else mentioned she sounded like like an old aunt and I definitely agree. I was back and forth on whether I could finish listening or just move to reading the story…but! I kept listening and Adelaide’s voice became easier to listen to and not so high intensity. Again, I enjoyed the relationship between both characters and Adelaide gaining strength in herself and seeing she is someone that deserved to be loved. I’m excited for the next Hells Bells!

I love Mary Jane Wells as a narrator, but Lavinia’s voice that was given and personality was just too much for me to keep going. I went back to the story a few times trying. I just could not for the life of me get into the story or the high tempo voice when she talked.

I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this one as much as I did with the mixed reviews. But I did! I thought the narration was good with Emily Gray. The story was funny, sexy moments, a little action, and a talking dog. Monty's voice was a little hard to handle, but he was raunchy and funny. I think that this book will not be for everyone, but if you want something that's just a fun read and don't put your expectations to high, you can enjoy it.

I really enjoyed these 3 short stories. Each story with their stashed away heroines that soon find love were fun and kept me listening. Sarah Zimmerman is a great narrator and I really like the way she reads.
I was surprised to find these short romance collections and keep wanting to find more to listen to.

As always I love listening to Mary Jane Wells. She is my must listen.
I did also enjoy listening to the others as well. The male narrator is not my favorite.

All of the love stories were fun listens and Dream of Glorious Season was so sweet and also was so frustrating. Sometimes listening to rude family's gets me so frustrated, but then again when a story can make you feel different emotions, to me that makes it that much better of a story.
I will definitely listen to more of Sarah Eden's stories.

All narrators were great. I enjoy all of them.
The story was a cute love story for this holiday season. It reminded me of cute Hallmark holiday movie, but you don’t have to guess what happens when they start kissing cause the scene doesn’t change. It was a little cheesy to me, but I also think that’s what makes it a nice holiday novella.

Mary Jane Wells is always one of my favorite narrators.

At first I had a hard time getting in this book through the first couple of chapters. I'm glad I kept listening, because it just got better to me and into the story. I liked the murder mystery ghost story being told and I thought that the character development with everyone was well written. I also enjoyed the love story that developed between Kitty and Jack Yates.

I always enjoy listening to Mary Jane Wells. She is one of my favorites.

I was actually surprised how much I did enjoy this book. I like that the characters were different and not all overly wealthy compared to many Duke type of books. Eva was a strong heroine that did what it took to make sure she was able to care for her sister. I enjoyed the hunt for the paintings and the love story that developed between Eva and Gareth. I definitely want to read the next story and Eva's sister.

I really enjoy Tara Sivec's stories, even the unconventional ones with nosey family that try to be way too involved. Her writing always makes me laugh. The fact that Sivec and Arndt wrote this together definitely was new and fun. This story made laugh and cringe with embarrassment. Heidi had moments where I was a little surprised she was so uneasy about talking about stuff, but like others have mentioned she is not a virgin.
Also, she had a moment in her room that gets crazy and I'm wondering why the logical thing to do in that moment does not pop into her head and say, "I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!" or "DON"T COME IN!". That would be me!
I would not be so frantic that I just let it happen! haha. Okay. Sorry, it was still funny, but really, circles!

I also don't always enjoy Andi Arndt's narration, but this one I could get behind (besides the accent that was a little fake strong). She actually sounded normal to me and not trying to make her voice so...gosh, I don't even know the right words to describe it...sensual, breathy, like every story. Probably just my view, I know she is a big narrator for so many books.

First off, I enjoyed most of the narrators. Some of the male female voices made me want to cringe.

It was fun having the different stories and narrators, but I don't think I'm a fan of the back and forth between the different stories with narration in between. I liked how they connected the characters a little in each story towards the end as well.
