Right to Rome
Well narrated. A dramatic tragedy of how every woman's dream turns into a nightmare incrementally through dogma, false obligations, conditioning, and "love" bombing. The choices so well intended, turn into shackles.
Ned (every child's pet donkey) is pathetic and cruel. The awesome children turn into a awful brats.
Could only listen to this in hour segments, such was the trauma bound up in the so horrible comedy of a trip along the Appian Way, one crucifixion at a time.
Every woman has the right to a second chance, but with a different man. Wish I hadn't chosen this book.
A HORROR SHOW

Enjoyable read...
Had read just one previous Tess Stimson book before this one and I must say both were an enjoyable read. Kept me guessing until the end and some good twists...

Enjoyable,but
Enjoyed this story and the narration was clear and very good. I would have given it more, but, the description of the sex scenes was crude, clumsy, and uncalled for in the storyline.

a mixed bag
I truly liked a lot about this book and most of the characters portrayed.
It was gripping and well structured;
however one of the characters', miraculous transformation into a decent and responsible person, as well as the surprising ending, were just not quite right with me.
The crude sex scene at the beginning , may suggest that the author didn't quite know where to take this book or how it would play out , at first.
It (the book) turned out alright, but if you make one of your main characters so despicable and totally unlikeable , don't expect readers to change their mind and suddenly warm to them at the last minute.
Great performance by all the narrators.
