excellent read

What a great story. Ms Roberts draws us in from the start, engaging us with a young boy, doing the best for his family - hard not to fall for that...but it keeps going. I also fell for the student, the young man, the thief. Wonderful tale of love, commitment, caring and self discovery. A joy from start to finish. Took me a while to tune in to the narrator's voice but then I loved it and all the accents and nuances. Damn, now I have a book hangover!!

Another great Nora Roberts

Story, engaging characters and engrossing storyline. Al the characters were well drawn and the more minor characters were as enjoyable and believable as the central two. I thought the narration excellent and it added greatly to the story. I couldn’t stop listening but also didn’t want it to end

Really good

Well-written story that pulls you in quickly, equally well-narrated. While I understand others' struggling with the protagonists' morals, I think it allows for a new perspective and an interesting backdrop for the story and still has me rooting for them. Afterall, the 'baddie' is much worse! What grates more on me is the portrayal of the lead women as often being perceived as too good to be true & in this instance with the male lead too (dubious morals aside). There are lots of interesting characters & enough layers to the plot to make for an engrossing listen.

Excellent story line

This was a well thought out story line. To have started at a very young age the main caricature drew you into the story of his life. Before I had listened to half the story I was ordering another book from this author. Brilliant.

Brilliant!!

This was a great listen. Really tense and exciting. The main characters were great and the narrator was exceptional. I was so sorry to come to the end. I’ll be looking for more by this author and narrator.

I love Norah Robert’s books.. and this one didn’t disappoint.. great storyline.. lots of twists.. yes the storyline is a bit fantastical… but absorbing all the same!! It takes you all over the globe 🌎…and was absolutely exciting.. hard to believe you would champion a thief!!! A must listen!!

loveable characters

Very well narrated. I agree with other reviews that the characters were a bit far-fetched, but that's what made them entertaining and so loveable.

heart warming, unmissable.

Norah has excelled herself yet again I couldn't stop listening to this book, the story was bought into brilliance by the narrator. he put the right amount of feeling into the story to bring it to life.
I had to turn off the story when La Port came after Booth to do a job and he had to leave Maranda and the possibilities of a future together.

Very enjoyable but ..,,

…. the romantic conversations were too slushy for my taste and I thought the sex scenes were unnecessarily long and detailed.

It was a good story and didn’t need that level of detail. There are romance books for those who like that kind of thing. I felt myself cringe at until those bits passed.

Great believable characters and ok a good romance or two was in there. I’d like to see these characters back for a second book - but without unnecessary slush.

Great narration - a few dodgy accents but forgivable as there were a lot of them.
