Unabridged Audiobook
I did not want to stop listening to this story, though life made sure I took breaks. Isabella saw her life one way, was pushed into a betrothal, and then hesitated when she met Gibb. I loved her intelligence, perseverance, and loyalty to family. She did the right thing for her family even though it wasn't the right thing for her. Gibb enjoyed his freedom doing family business, loved the sea, and protected Isabella. I loved how he encouraged her studies and treasure hunting. Bad things happened to Isabella though they led her right back to her protector, Gibb. I highly recommend this story as I loved it. The narration by Philip Battley was very well done, enhancing the story. I loved listening to his voice as he brought these characters to life. This is my unsolicited review.
I loved this story. Gib and Isabella were destined to be together. What a story this is too, with so many twists and turns, it is full of surprises. I found myself trying to figure out how these two will get out of this or that and with very believable story telling, I was surprised and pleased at how Ms. Jarecki worked out each dilemma. It really was a beautiful story and full of pleasant surprises throughout. This is one steamy romance. I am very picky when it comes to audiobook narrators and was very impressed with Phillip Battley’s performance of this story. He did the character accents very well and performed the moments with great emotion in his voice. You have to be a pretty fantastic narrator to get five stars from me, and Mr. Battley has earned those five stars. Well done! Excellent writing, excellent narrating. I highly recommend the audiobook version of this book.
