I love you flower, I love you too sky.

This was an amazing, moving story of strength and the realization that love has the power to overcome any challenge.

Morning Flower

Listening to Karaoke Queen allowed my work trip to fly by. I even stayed in the car to finish it before going into the house when I arrived home. It's great to see the characters I have come to love presented through Holly Jackson's wonderful narration. Erik does such an amazing job of creating both depth of character and story!!

Love the music of soul collection

I really like the story and hollie Jackson is one of my favorite narrator's she always does such a great job.

I can't say enough great things about this book..

I had already read this book. LOVED the whole Music of the Soul series. On to the next.

Beautiful book, touching message...

Would you consider the audio edition of Karaoke Queen to be better than the print version?

As with many books, the audio version doesn't make it better or worse; just different.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Skylar... her scars truly do make her beautiful.

Any additional comments?

This is a beautiful book with a touching message! Your scars are what give you character and make you beautiful :)
This was actually the first book I read in the MoS series and it still stands out for me as one of the most moving and definitely a favourite. I love the life that is injected into the characters by the talented Hollie Jackson!
I highly recommend this book and if you like it as much as I did, definitely check out the rest of the books in the MoS universe.

A sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet story

As with the other books in this series, this is a lovely romantic, you-know-it-from-the-first-word HEA. As the headline hints(!), it is almost treacly, sappy to the point of insipid. Not that that makes it a bad read it's just, damn! Erik. Second issue for me is the London slang: first off the limited range of the dialogue means that many of the words appear overused. Plus there were some odd choices e.g. I'm having a hard time believing that anyone in London has said "by the gods!" since the Georgian era. if he's going to use slang in the feature Mr. Schubach might maybe want to broaden his vocabulary.
All in all it was a fun read, I just kept getting jerked out of the narrative at times by the things I've made note of above.

Love love love it

Erik Schubach has done it again!!! So captivating! I absolutely love it!! I would recommend to everyone!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

feel good factor

So much bloody crying

The story was ok but if I had to hear about anymore bloody crying I was going to kill myself. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Mariana Zapata book instead. I really wanted to like this one but there just wasn't any character development. Just a bunch of tears.

Another fantastic audiobook.
