Great narration, weak story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The storyline was predictable and not very well executed. The hero was too involved in having his own pity-party and the heroine was a stereotypical damsel in distress. The one thing in the book I thought was well done was the treatment of the hero's alcoholism and his recovery.

What was most disappointing about Laura Landon’s story?

Unfortunately, it was disappointing overall. I don't mind predictable or "been done before" provided the execution is good or there are other redeeming features, like compelling characters or good dialogue... both of which were sadly lacking here.

Which character – as performed by James Langton – was your favourite?

Thank goodness for James Langton - he's the sole reason I kept listening! Griff (the hero) became attractive in Mr Langton's hands (voice!) and all his character voices were appropriate and well-differentiated.

Do you think A Risk Worth Taking needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Sadly, I think the book itself needs a re-write, let alone a follow up!

Any additional comments?

Loved the narration - Mr Langton has a very attractive and soothing voice, and I'd happily listen to him anytime. Sadly, the story itself was lacklustre and not even the excellent narration could save it.
