(Audiobook Review)
I received Love Connection in a giveaway and found it to be a fun romantic comedy that makes you wonder about the choices you would make to find happiness.
The story deals with Gemma Dawson, who is an attorney from London. She sits at a Chicago airport bar, holding two tickets while contemplating if she should fly to her best friend’s wedding as the maid of honor or crash her ex-boyfriend’s wedding in California. After a few drinks, she eavesdrops on another heartbroken woman who happens to be a flight attendant. She discovers that her best friend’s fiancé has been carrying affair with this woman for over a year. The other alternative is that she’s never forgotten Jake, the love of her life and soulmate and needs to confess all to him before it’s too late. Thus begins the “What If” and the vignettes on each path that she chooses to get to her HEA.
The audiobook of Love Connection by Camilla Isley flowed nicely into a well-written romance that had very entertaining characters, comical moments and serious dialogues between Gemma and those around her. It was light-hearted and a bit of a short novella on the “What If”.
The only drawback to this listen was the narration. I did not feel that the choice of narrator suited this story. The voice was a bit dry and did not punctuate the exclamatory parts in the story…i.e., parts that should have made you feel excitement or anger were not accentuated when needed.
I was thankful for receiving this audiobook giveaway and I look forward to listening dependent on narration or reading more form Ms. Isley. My rating would have been higher if not for the narration.
Flawless,Enthralling,Irresistible!!!Loved it!
I don’t know how to express how perfect was this book without reveal too much ruining your reading experience.
I was afraid that the plot would have been too intricate to follow and enjoy but I was so WRONG because the author made an amazing job.
Everything was perfectly developped,all the characters were well thought and I loved how things turned out in the end.
I can’t wait to read Camilla Isley next novel.
Have you ever been at a crossroad and wondered which path to take? Camilla Isley explores this dilemma in The Love Connection. It’s quite an interesting concept to write side by side stories in the same novel.
Gemma, the main character, has two airline tickets in her possession – one will take her to her best friend’s wedding and the other to her ex-boyfriend’s wedding, a man she never stopped loving. In one story, she chooses to attend her friend’s wedding in order to stop her from marrying a philandering man. In the other story, she goes to stop the wedding of her old love and plead for him to choose her instead.
There are a lot of amusing moments and some of it you know could never happen in the real world. But that is what romantic comedies are for – to delve into a world of romantic fantasy and laugh over unlikely situations.
The Love Connection was more than a simple romance. I found myself wondering about the paths I’ve had to choose and where I would be if I had made different choices. Would fate and destiny intervene and land me where I am today? Or would my life be completely different? These questions will be answered by the end of the book.
I listened to the audio version of this book, narrated by Audra Cook. The narration was done very well. Ms. Cook spoke clearly and did a nice job varying the voices. Her execution was enjoyable and pleasant.
I would definitely read or listen to another book by this author.
