Rating: Summary: Not great but not bad Review: I enjoyed the audio of this book. It's not the best story I've ever read/heard but it's not the worst. You do wonder that Grant continues to pursue Shelly after her protests but since she's so ambivalent even while rejecting him, he doesn't seem to be a stalker for continuing. Overall, I enjoyed it. As for the accents, voices, etc., I've learned to ignore that while listening to an audio book--no one has gotten every regional accent right on any audio I've had, so I just suspend disbelief and listen for the story, not the performance.
Rating: Summary: Loved It!! Review: I'm new to Romance novels, so perhaps that's why I don't feel anything but love, love, love for this book. I agree that Grant's consistent pursuit of Shelley caught me off guard at first, but I love how he's written. He's assertive and goes after what he wants. It's nice seeing a male character experience feelings for a woman that span a decade. So many books always make it about the woman pursuing a man or a man not remembering her. Beside, with all the mixed messages she sends out in the beginning, it's a wonder he continued. My favorite part of the book is the 3 week break from each other. That really kept my interest when they were then put together for study/research nights. I couldn't wait!! And I loved how he loved her on the last 2-3 pages. It caused me to go out and buy more "classic love story" novels.
Rating: Summary: Call Quality Control Review: This book was a Silhoutte Desire (that Sandra Brown wrote as Erin St. Clair) back in the mid eighties when I was pretty much an adolesent and found it provocative and interesting. Now I am yawning not only from how unrealistic the plot us , but also because the quality control is so bad. If your going to the trouble of putting this on a CD then you should at least make sure that your reader is interested in doing a good performance. Ms. Ziemba has a lot of problems with mispronouncing words as well as not getting her vocalizations to match the narrative. Also, The characters, who are all supposed to be from Oklahoma soumd like they are from Boston, the American South, and several neighborhoods in New York City. She even has the character of the Chancellor accidentally refer to the hero as "Mr. Grant" as opposed to "Mr. Chapman". The mistake was understandable as his name is "Grant Chapman", but the mistake should have been rerecorded. Had Ms. Brown wrote this about 10 years later in her writing career, it might have been a better story. It is, however, as adolescent as Shelley Browning when she first met Mr. Chapman.
Rating: Summary: A breathtaking love story Review: This is a story about a school girl who is infatuated by her teacher cherishes the memory of a stolen kiss with her charming teacher. Turning into a lady and a broken marriage destiny brings her back to her first crush. From then on the script is completely breathtaking and real with regards to the feelings of sin mixed with extreme passion between the inseparable couple. A Must Read for those who enjoy romantic fiction!
