★★★★☆ (This is a review of the audiobook.) I haven’t heard Lauren Fortgang narrate before, but I quite like her. She has a raspy voice that lends well to the masculine voices, yet she still does a very nice job on the female ones, especially the not so dim-witted grandmother, Cat. She’s certainly a reader I’d pick up again, as I liked her tone, pitch and intensity.
There is nothing of monumental complexity in this little love story. It probably won’t cause an epiphany, or change your Romance reading genre to strictly Contemporary. However, it is sweet, fun, and has another of those H.O.T. Kowalski men in it – Sean Kowalski this time, in the third installment of Kowalski Family series, by Shannon Stacey.
Sean has just left the Army after a tour in Afghanistan. He no sooner arrives at the apartment he bums off his cousin, Kevin, than a sexy brunette – independent, Emma Shaw – shows up on his doorstep asking if he wouldn’t mind posing as his fake fiancée for a month.
I love this family, set in a small town in beautiful New Hampshire, and enjoy their banter.

1. Sausalito [image] [image] ★★★★½ Here are my comments in a "buddy read" I did when I was about half way through. And I loved it though to the end.
1. I must say, I am just loving these three characters - yes, I'm including Clive. (view spoiler)[I have a non-sexual "attack cat" story to tell you all one day, so I'm finding him very believable and not over the top. (hide spoiler)]
2. I didn't think I'd like a "man whore" book - and one where the heroine being instantly gaga over him, too. But, sometimes an author as deft as this one is, can win me over. She's certainly doing a great job!
3. One of the things I really like is the gradual building of a relationship between Caroline and Simon. You can see them going from enemies to becoming friends and getting closer; the author doesn't just go, "Poof! They are friends."
4. The secondary characters are a hoot. I love the twist of (view spoiler)[the two other couples being paired up wrong (hide spoiler)].
5. I usually don't like the e-Mail, texting sections of a book, so when it is done, I skim over them. However, these are so realistic and move the story along so nicely that they are a joy - and a giggle - to read.
6. This is a fast read, but the author is good at giving pertinent information to provide character background and setting the scene. Makes it zip along....more

★★★★☆ (This is a review of the audiobook.) I’ve been wondering all night if I’ve ever heard the wonderful, versatile narrator Rosalyn Landor* ever drop the F-bomb. I don’t believe I have, until this charming and humorous novel, but she pulls it off. I am so glad I switched from the paperback to the audiobook on this light, charming, humorous read. She is great with the voices, but my favorite was Trish, Samantha’s new employer, who she does to perfection. The genuinely talented Ms. Landor elevates this book from pure fluff to the witty satire that it was meant to be.
I love a good “fish-out-of-water” story and hearing high-powered lawyer Samantha’s first person POV, was unadulterated fun. If anyone needed a break, it was Samantha, even if it is shock and shame that had her ditching the fast-land and seeking the solace of the countryside. Still, housekeeping is NOT exactly a break, especially when one knows ZILCH about it. LOL! The storyline is predictable, but I didn’t really care, I just enjoyed the ride.
*Careful. There are other narrators of this book....more
