About this listen

Two women. Two worlds. One love worth risking it all.

When professional soccer player Alex Grey goes on a vacation to the local South Carolina islands, she isn't anticipating any life-changing events. Just a relaxing weekend to prepare for the upcoming season. But that quickly changes when she finds herself the lone witness to a sailing accident and makes the decision to risk her own life to save a drowning woman—unwittingly coming to the rescue of a US senator's wife, Catharine Cleveland.

Despite the vast disparity between their worlds, the two women find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another after the near-catastrophic afternoon. Following a series of interactions from the soccer fields of Portland, to the Marina District of San Francisco Bay, and the cutthroat political circle of Washington, D.C., they find their friendship growing, transforming into an attraction neither woman can deny.

Nor an attraction either woman can comfortably embrace.

As the magnetism of their connection grows, both women are forced to decide if the pursuit of love is worth the cost while living under the scrutiny of the public eye.

The Senator's Wife is Book One of a three book series.

I usually enjoy Abby Craven's narration but.... this is a fairly good story although quite slow, but what really made it stand out was her attempts at an "Australian" accent, which over the course of the book morphed more into South African, and the "Scottish" accent which was just unrecognisable. Her "posh English" accent was also not the best but bearable. Still, I enjoyed a good laugh!

The bristish accent of Catherine in this book is positively exquisite one may say 😅

This has to been my favourite book that I've listened to in awhile! I hated the two main male characters in the story and I can't wait for them to have their comeuppance.

Lesbian themed.
There was a small segment of volience towards women in this book.

Abby Craden is an amazing voice actor as always. Jen Lyon 10/10 Book.

Great listen.

I kept going to listen so it kept me wanting more but feels like it just ended.

The story could have ended with more details as it felt it had quite an abrupt ending. There could have been more romantic scenes.

First rate writing, wonderful story.
how can parents treat thier children like Catherines '. my pure anger at her husband, not for the faint hearted domestic abuse seen it too closely.

Abbey craden, . please stop trying to do Scottish accents. this isn't dad's army. that being said, the rest of the narration is like listening to a movie unfold, and brings back some of the passion Abbey seemed to have lost in the past.
the story itself is imaginative. at times a lesbian cliche . but overall excellent. miss lyon has a way with words. sometimes an unnecessary over explanation in repeating events in both view points, seems long winded.

but, this is by far well above the bar set by other authors I've read lately
the slow build is more believable than 'eyes meet, and suddenly soulmates' which seem to be the latest romcom books out.
this gives an honest, will they won't they. looking at the harsh reality of attraction and what the consequences could be.
it shows the fear of wanting someone, and the absolutely horrid feeling of suddenly realising you do.

for any one who's had that feeling. this books for you.

captivating

I heard a lot of excellent things about this book and it didn’t disappoint. Usually I read the book first then listen but this time I listened first and couldn’t listen fast enough so gripping was the story.
I did however struggle when listening to the Aussie and Scottish accents as for me they lacked authenticity from the Scotts and Australians I know.
However, overall, very enjoyable

Emotional rollercoaster

Absolutely loved the whole series! Not sure why I held off listening to them for so long! Would 100% recommend to others! Abby Crayden’s voice for the main characters was amazing as always, but I have to admit some of the various English / Welsh / Australian dialects were questionable (not that I could do any better!!) I will be keeping an eye out for more books from this author in future 😍

Loved!!!

It’s a good story with a decent storyline. I’ve heard Abby Craden narrate plenty books, but never with accents and it’s probably a good thing.
The British accents are just about bearable, but the Australian ones are truly appalling; on a par with Dick van Dyke’s cockney accent in Mary Poppins.
Abby - no more accents.
Good story and great characters.
