Ugh, OK I don't know if I would have liked this book better if I read it instead of listening to the audio version or not. But I have to say I couldn't STAND the audio version! The girl reading the story talked SOOOOOOOOOOO SLOWLY!!!! I had to keep rewinding it because I would lose interest in what she was saying and my thoughts would wander away from the story. ALSO, the southern accent was so bad, and the voices she made for the different characters drove me nuts!! All this really detract...more
Listened to this book on audio over the weekend and went for lots of walks just so I could keep listening. Ended up talking with a bit of a southern accent just like the narrator! I quite enjoyed it for a light weekend read.

Yes,it was predictable. Yes,you knew what would happen. Yes, you knew how it would come together in the end. All in all though it was a very enjoyable audiobook. This audio was $2.95 on Itunes and was a good price for a cute story. The narrator R.E. Chambliss did a very good job, giving the characters different voices and emphasis on the right sentances and words. This is i believe my first audio read by Mrs. Chambliss. I would definitley listen to another audiobook read by her.
Cute, if somewhat predictable, story. I always enjoy a feel good book-- nice to read about characters who are genuinely good people! I was surprised to find that I enjoyed listening to the audiobook so much -- but I do need more comfortable earphones.
Complete and utter fluff, but I loved every inch of it! Sometimes you just need a good sappy, feel-good romance, and this one fit the bill for me and my current mood.
Predictable but an enjoyable light read.
<2 actually.....not for me!!!

Great story line. I found this on sale on itunes for just a couple of dollars so I listened to it at work. There is one sex scene, the language was pretty clean and no violence. I enjoyed it.
