But she was not nearly as impressed with Burke Logan, owner of the neighboring property. A womanizing, cigar-smoking gambler, he was exactly the type of man her mind told her to stay away from. The heart has never been very practical, though....

Brilliant book, beautiful story. Irish accent?🤦♀
Loved this book so much, bought it years ago in paper back and thought I would love to listen to it in audio, until the narrator did her attempt at an Irish accent. It totally ruined the book for me.

The narrator was awful
I liked this story. Wished I had read the book instead of listening. Nora Roberts is a fantastic author so I saw the book thru. And I'm glad I did. It's a good story. The narrator hired for this job,however, sounded like a woman of her forties-maybe not a young woman of twenty-three.

Terrible narrator
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Unfortunately, I couldn't even get past the narration of the story to know if I'd like the book. This is something that I'll need to try to read. The narrator sounded like a computer reading the book. It was awful.
What was most disappointing about Nora Roberts’s story?
The narrator.
What didn’t you like about Amy Rubinate’s performance?
She sounds like a computer reading. There is no expression or emotion. Even when she begins trying to read in an Irish accent, it's just poor.

Not the best Nora Robert's book. Skip it.
Performance sounds almost like a robot. However, the accent was done well. I finished the book out of pure desire to finish what I had started. I strongly disliked the story line and the way the female lead was developed. I normally love Nora Robert's, but I truly did not like this book.

This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts stories and I have read the book countless times. I wasn't a fan of the Narrator's voice, but it did grow on me a little bit. I would have loved to hear this read by the narrator of the Born In series.

I’m an avid reader so audiobooks are not generally my jam HOWEVER this right here is just 🤌 perfection in storytelling form. Narrating and switching through various accents in one’s mind is a task and she did a solid job of it OUT LOUD! The story is a masterpiece the Narrator is a magician just all around top tier performance 👏👏👏
