TALK BOOKISH TO ME

Narrator Natalie Naudus infuses each character in this novel with vibrancy and humor. Kara's life is in flux. She is having difficulty getting started on writing her next historical romance novel, and her personal life has stalled. Then, while serving as maid of honor for her best friend, she encounters her college boyfriend, Ryan, the love of her life. In a delightful performance, Naudus ensures that Kara comes across as a smart, self-deprecating everywoman and that Ryan's appeal is communicated through his light Southern cadence and openhearted charm. Despite some bumpy patches between the couple, listeners will root for them to reunite. Excerpts from Kara's work in progress are smoothly woven into the story, heightening the romantic mood.
