Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] charming Cinderella story about a feisty 'princess' who fights dragons (big business) and wins hearts. Brace for a wild ride chock-full of Southern wit and down-home advice from a clutch of quirky characters you will hope to see again soon." (Booklist)

Great Story

What a delightful story. No explicit sex scenes. Beautifully written. Narration was excellent. Though I don’t usually recommend, I’m doing so with this book.

Pretty Good story with fun characters

I enjoyed this as a light read on a hot day. Sweet story about small town folk in South Carolina. the main character is enjoyable, and the secondary characters were fun . The story was predictable but the writing style made it still fun.
I enjoyed the narrator who I thought at first had a genuine southern accent. However, her constant mispronunciation of the town Augusta was extremely irritating. whoever edited this has a major fail.

its A-GUS-ta not AW-gusta. have yall never heard of the Masters Golf tournament? please fix this before the next audio book comes out.
I truly almost stopped listening to this simply because of this constant mistake.

An easy book to listen to

This book was slow at first then started picking up. It was nice to listen to a book without all the sex and cussing. I’m on to the next in the series for some relaxing reading or listening.

Charming story, but…

I almost ditched this book solely over the pronunciation of Augusta. I decided to stick it out, but it remained an annoyance. I find it difficult to believe that there was no one in the room that knew the proper pronunciation of this city when it was spoken by the narrator the first time it appeared in the story. If there was, why wasn’t it corrected? Crazy. Just crazy. To the producer, I would say, “in the future, please review the pronunciation of all proper nouns with the author before beginning to record the narration”.

Enjoyable and heart warming

Remembering my rural family life and my own wonderful grandmothers. Loved the laugh’s I had from the author’s story.

Charming

Well narrated with distinct characters. This story is a fun feel good listen and will make the reader smile. I thoroughly enjoyed the reading and the story.

Cute Story But Annoying Narration

The town is Augusta (uh·guh-stuh) not august tuh. I had a hard time listening because of the repeated incorrect pronunciation!

Cute story, if you can get passed the narrator.

It is a mystery to me how anyone could be paid as a narrator and pronounce so many words wrong. Augusta, Ga. must have been referred to 200 times and not once was it pronounce even close to correct. At least she was constantly wrong.

Bet your bottom dollar

I enjoyed this listen. the over all story line kept my interest to the end. waiting to listen to the next one in the series.

Wonderful Wonderful ‼️

So enjoyed this marvellous story! The interesting people, the humor & interesting twist…. No spoilers!
Love, cross generation friendships, crazy family & w” when fear came in…Faith rose up to the challenge❣️👍🏻
