Perfect Ending!

I enjoyed all three stories in Nora's trilogy. This one was by far the best! The mystery of the lost/ghost lovers was solved in a very satisfying way. Hope and Ryder were a fun couple to watch in action. Although I would have liked a lil more story on the ex-boyfriend, that was not resolved to my satisfaction. These were fun, light listening to stories, something to occupy the mind, remove you from the daily stresses of life.

Eh - so-so

The dialogue in this book is juvenile and the narration is painful. Not one of my favorite Nora Roberts book. I am coming off finishing two intense, extremely well written books, so this is sounding extra lame. I should have saved the story for a "light" listening situation, like when I am cleaning and only need half my attention on the book. Light, lame, predictable, but cute. Not sure it was worth the credit.

Great End to a Delightful Series

I really enjoyed this final installment in the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy. I love series. The romance is good & the storyline is fun. Highly recommend. The narrator did the first two in this series & greatly improved in the last two. Enjoyed him as well

Third times the charm

I didn't really care for book 1 or 2 in this series but had to get the third because it was Ryder's story. He made all the books more interesting and funny so this was a must read for me. Much like the others it had some boring parts and I didn't really care much for the ghost story. Overall I thought it was an easy "read" and I don't regret using my credit. I just wish his story was first.

The Perfect Ending to a Good Series ~

Where does The Perfect Hope rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's pretty close to the top ~ it's a little soft around the edges, but Nora's trilogy's tend to be, so I expect that. I still love her writing no matter what ~ but this one was so focused on Boonesboro & the rebuilding of the town it was interesting, but almost edged out the rest of the story.

What did you like best about this story?

Lizzy, the ghost. I loved the whole back story there.

Which scene was your favorite?

Ha. When Hope sprayed Ryder with the water hose! Loved it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Hmmm...I did when Ryder dreamed about Billy's death. Broke my heart.

Any additional comments?

Again, Nora writes an amazing story ~ so when I rate this a 4, it's still made of awesome, just not my very favorite by her, and that's just because I tend to like her grittier books better, lol. The narrator for this book was excellent, he did an amazing job w/ the characters, and I loved, loved the whole thread of the ghost and her search for her lost love ~ and how it was tied up in a neat little bow in this book.

Positively Natural and Bright

Would you listen to The Perfect Hope again? Why?

Yes because the story has such natural character development and the underlying story line about the Lizzie the ghost is captivating and how she works her way to become part of the family leaves you wanting more.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how Nora Roberts surprises you at the ghost's connection with the family and weaves her history into the family's story today.

What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?

His voice is perfectly paced. He never has a problem giving characters different voices in fact he is the best I've listened to after more than 20 audiobook purchases. He is not slow. He is not fast.

Looking for someone to read you a story and speak the quotes in the book like they are actually sounding like conversation? Cloud is your voice. He doesn't deliver lines like he is reading. He delivers it as if he is talking exactly what other narrators should do.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried when Ryder has his moment and that's all I can say without give the book away.

NR Thank you....wonderful listen

It must be so fulfilling to share these wonderful stories with so many people. I enjoyed each in this series but she saved the best for last. It had so much humor in it....I laughed out loud alot. It was charming and you completed Lizzie so well. A solid 10 on all counts as far as I am concerned.
NRoberts writes the stories that I go to for a second or third or more listen more than any other author. She has the ability to take us out of our lives and into a lovely place. She is a gifted writer. I look forward to your future books.
I love this narrator....I find his voice smooth and calming. Involving without being jarring.
