A charming story, although a little predictable

Really easy listening. The story of a house swap, gaining a fresh start and outlook on two very different lives, who soon realise there is more on offer if only you can adapt to new surroundings, take risks and break down some of your own barriers.

A little predictable. But very charming and funny, and thoroughly enjoyed.

Sweetness overload

Such a sweet, clean love story. Truly enjoyed it. The story was great as well as the writing. The characters came off as very mature and loving and their story felt, all problems aside, still really smooth. A really gorgeous romance. 🥰

Had some issues with the narration. The time jumps lacked pauses to set them up and sometimes it felt like the sentences got chopped up which made me trip up on the storyline and had to think a little extra to get the context. A lot of it was still good though so could set the issues aside. 😉

Lovely book

Easy to listen to, lovely characters, nice story…..I pleaded for them both just to say what was on their minds and not worry about the outcome - but I guess, then, there wouldn’t be a book 🤣

Spoiled by narration

The storyline was good and the male narration was fine but the female narration was just awful. Unnecessary pauses throughout and it really spoiled it.

An excellent, if predictable story.

Loved the characters, they jumped off the page: the independent Cassie and workaholic James. Everything was great, except the female narration. She spoke like there was a full stop after every word.

Her accent was great, but diction was awful.

Great story, not so great narration

I’m ashamed to say that despite listening to several audiobooks a week, I rarely write a review. And this audiobook was a lovely light hearted listen, probably not one that will stick with me for a long time but I did enjoy it. However, it was spoilt for me by the narrators, particularly the female narrator. It just didn’t flow properly and it seemed that any punctuation marks had been ignored. But it does say something for the book though that had I not been enjoying so much and wanting to know what happened with Cassie & James in the end, my irritation would’ve won over and I’d have given up.
But if you are a better person than I am and less prone to irritation then you probably won’t even notice.

Cracking story but ......

My first Jo Lovett read , really enjoyed the story on audible - The female narration was appalling , you have a job understanding her very squeaky Scottish..... so nearly gave up .
The guy narrator on the other hand was perfect ,
I will now look for the sequel and perhaps read on Kindle!

Lovely heartwarming story

This was a lovely heartwarming love story. Needed a break from crime and thrillers, this was definitely that break it was funny and romantic I loved all the characters especially the lead characters finished it in no time and was gutted it came to an end. The Narrators were good although the odd character sounded a bit stilted. It must be hard trying to sound different for each character. All in all i thoroughly enjoyed this novel. 😊

3 Stars🌟🌟🌟 A LOVELY LISTEN

TRIGGER WARNING 🚨MISCARRIAGE DISCUSSED

This was such a charming book, a real lovely listen although it did mention serious subjects, which helped understand the characters better. It was definitely Chicklit and I do love that!I

The female narrator could have been better at her job though, I felt she was not performing the story but reading out a letter which is not good if Voice Artist/Narrator is your job.

This book was FREE to listen to through the Plus Catalogue included membership which is a bonus because I do recommend this listen.

Good story, poor narration

Great book, but the edit of the narration was very poor. The spacing between sentences/paragraphs was very disjointed which ruined the flow.
