My Review
I really understood where Daisy
comes from with her fantasy blog what I had trouble understanding was how she
thought she would get away with what she did and the whole family and friends
going along with it. Too many people in town know her it would have come out
sooner or later. So for me this was a little over the top but it sure made for
a good listen even if I didn’t find it believable lol. I really enjoyed this
from the narration to the plot I enjoyed the humor the bickering between Daisy
and Travis. This story takes off where book 1 stops. Daisy is having a hard
time being a single mother she starts a blog on being a new mother with it
getting out of control telling how wonderful being a mother and wife is. What a
wonderful baby and husband she has. When it grabs so much attention a talk show
wants to come interview her. Before she knows what she has done she has agreed
wow she has really messed up and goes back and forwards whether she should go it
or not. It doesn’t take long for things to get out of control first one things
and then another happens. You will not believe all the bad luck one women can
have as the author puts a few twists in the way spinning story of humor and
mayhem.
The narration of Mr. Lawrence is
outstanding as he brings the characters to life for me with his many wonderful
character voices. I could really feel the frustration in Daisy as she comes to
terms on her life what she wants, needs and desires along with a few home truths.
Travis you can really feel what he is going through as he supports Daisy but
uses a little blackmail to get what he wants. I really enjoyed all his
characters voices. I am amazed that he knew which voice went to which character
from book 1. His male voices are just as great as his female ones. He has the
right tone for each emotion that you can really feel what each character is
going through. I did not hear any background noise if any breaks were taken you
could not tell. There was not anywhere the volume was higher or lower than the
chapters before what he deliverers is a clear, clean audio that you really get
into. Between him and the author they had me laughing out loud a few times.
This is one narrator that can pull me in giving me a very highly entertaining
listen that keeps me invested in the characters. I can’t wait to listen to more
from this narrator I hope you will take the time to check out his work.
I did enjoy this I thought it was a
little much but truly made a delightful story. It wasn’t long before I was
taken in with the humor as the author takes you through each road block that
comes their way. The throws a few surprises in. Not everything is coming up
roses for this couple as it looks like the I do’s will be coming soon the
author throws a twist that brings much pain. The past comes back to haunt Daisy
in the worst way at the worse time. Not everyone here is likable there are a
few you would like to harm, give them a piece of your mind as you drag them
from the book to give them a taste of reality. I really loved seeing the past
characters. That grandmother is up to her old tricks keeping you on your toes
with her many over the top ways. You are so going to love this lady as you find
what she keeps in her kitchen as well as around her home. I know I had my mouth
fall open a few times as I laughed my way through shaking my head. My heart
really went out to Daisy as I look back and remember my time of being a new
mother. The author sure hits the emotions right on the head with the feelings
of not being good enough, being too tired, the scream and so much more. The
reason for the 4.5 stars is I can’t buy into Daisy really going through with
the interview. The blog fantasy yes I can believe that but the rest no. It does
make a very good listen and very entertaining with an audio I could not put
down. Nothing wrong with a little fantasy. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I
have I can’t wait to see what the next book in this series is all about.
