Audio Review

I listened to the audio version of this story and had quite a different reaction then the people who simply read the book. I am sure that 100% of the reason for that is the amazing job that Bernadette Dunne does in her interpretation. The differentation between characters was like none I have ever heard. The french accent which she gives to Chantel is perfect. Her breathy voice lends a sexiness to the story that would be impossible to get from the written text. I would highly recommend this audio book to anyone looking for an escape.

Get A Way Reading!!!!

I am a fan of Miss Brown's writing. I picked this one up as I perused the shelf in my local library and I did enjoy it. It tells the story of Scout, an engineer and how he is persuaded to help the inhabitants of a tropical village. It follows the normal sequence of a guy falling in love with a girl and that girl's name is Chantal. What I like about her writings is that you know they will end up together but how she gets them together is the fun part. Scout is a man with more than his dilema on his mind and Chantal is a beautiful woman with a killer body that has Scout "going crazy". It all takes place in a tropical place. You can almost feel the breezes from the ocean. This was written in her earlier days and you can tell the difference in her writing style. ENVY is fantastic and Mirror Image is mind blowing. I have read 80% of her books as I am trying to read all of them. I am trying to find two that are in limited or any supply. Keep in mind that time has made her a better writer. I also know that I do not have the skills to write so I can not criticize her so harshly. Reading is just an escape!
