All the audio books I’ve listened to starts with the book info and who narrates it. This anthology didn’t tell at the beginning of each story who the narrators where. I’ve listen to both of the male narrators before so I knew which one was narrating but I had to research the female narrators to figure out who was who.
SEARCHING FOR YOU by Jennifer Probst
Narrated by Madeleine Maby
4 stars
This is my first time listening to Madeleine Maby and “reading” Jennifer Probst. I enjoyed both of the ladies’ work.
Sexy romance where the couple meets again after 10 years really worked for me. I love romances were the couple gets a second chance at love. And boy do these two have some heat between them.
SEARCHING FOR YOU is part of Probst’s Searching For series. Since I enjoyed this novella I may check out the other books in this series.
IT’S A WONDERFUL TANGLED CHRISTMAS CAROL by Emma Chase
Narrated by Sebastian York
5 stars
This was the story is the reason I wanted to listen to the anthology and it was easily my favorite of all the stories.
York’s narration is fantastic as always. Love getting a twist on the holiday story from Drew’s POV. Fans of Chase’s Tangled series will LOVE seeing how Drew gets into trouble on Christmas Eve!
SAVING GRACE by Kristen Proby
Dual narration (Deacon Lee and Rebekkah Ross) for Grace and Jacob’s POVs.
3 stars
This is my first time “reading” Proby and my first time listening to Ross’ narration. Both were pleasant enough. I’d give them both another try. Deacon Lee does a great job with Jacob’s POV and his british accent. He sounded like two different people when he did other character’s without the accent. Ross also did well with making the characters sound different. She has a very young, naive sounding voice for Grace and then pulls off Jacob’s voice.
Like many novellas the romance moves really fast and that’s one of the weak points in SAVING GRACE. I think Grace and Jacob’s story would have been great for a full length novel, giving them time to fall in love in a believable time. But if you over look the instant-a-love then Grace and Jacob’s HEA is a sweet and sexy read to get you in the move for cocoa and steamy fireplace loving.
SAFE IN HIS ARMS by Melody Anne
Dual narration: (Deacon Lee and Rebekkah Ross)
DNF
I would say that the narration came off as wooden but it wasn’t the narrator since I listen to them narrate SAVING GRAVE. So it was the writing that fell flat for me. After listening for an hour I skipped to the next story.
REKINDLE THE FLAME by Kate Meader
Dual narration: (S York and Madeleine Maby)
2.5 stars
I only finished this story because of the narrators. Both York and Maby delivered a great performance. The story itself was a little lacking. I think the only thing that saved it from being an instant-a-love story was that the couple knew each other from their past and came together for a second chance love story. I generally love this trope but I just didn’t fall in love with the couple and wasn’t every invested in wither they got a HEA or not.
