Costas Sisters Stories

Books 1 & 2

By: Carly Phillips

Narrated by: Pepper Jackson

Under the Boardwalk

Her twin sister is missing.

When Ariana Costas heard her twin sister, Zoe, had disappeared, Ari left Vermont and returned to her Jersey girl roots to find her. Ari didn’t know what to expect from her search, but danger around every corner, dodging bullets, and a hunk in a leather jacket saving her was not it.

He thought she was someone else.

Detective Quinn Donovan thought he located Zoe Costas. Beautiful, dark haired and a perfect match to the description he’d been given, he believes he has his lady. Except as it turns out, the gorgeous woman is Zoe's twin Ariana, the college professor. Suddenly, Quinn’s job is more about trying to protect Ari who is in trouble deeper than the Atlantic at high tide. There’s more at stake than trying to protect her without spilling his well-guarded secrets.

Will he lose his heart and the girl in the process?

Summer of Love

She doesn't trust him.

Zoe Costas is a security specialist. Her rather dubious family runs an Atlantic City spa that’s just this side of legit. When charming Ryan Baldwin shows up claiming to be related to Sam, the girl Zoe’s family is about to adopt, Zoe isn’t inclined to trust his handsome face.

But he’s here to stay.

Ryan’s search for his missing sister has led him to news of her death, and to a niece he’s never met. He’s from the famously rich and snooty Boston Baldwins - nothing like Zoe’s eccentric family from Jersey. But someone else has also tracked Sam down - someone who never wanted his niece to be found.

Ryan is determined to protect Sam and find out what really happened to his sister. And Zoe is just the woman to help him do it. Neither expects they might find love in the process.

great duo

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Wonderful story

This series, both stories, was very well told. I loved it. It was Very heart warming. And I loved the characters very much.

The story was cute and I liked that each sister had her own story.

Someone complained that the narrator spoke too slowly. I just increased the speed and found it an enjoyable listen.

A Dull Listen

The storyline was intriguing, but the narration was too dull to finish. I couldn't tell the difference between m/f characters which threw me off too much. I'll have to read this on my Kindle because I'm very interested in the outcome of the story.

Not a fan of the narrator.

The story was fine but it was read in a draggy fashion. I had to increase the speed on the recording as the reading was much too slow. The dramatic pauses were ridiculous. Also, coif is pronounced kwahf, not coyf.

Boring

I just couldn’t get into the book. I don’t know if it’s the narrator or the whole story. It was boring and I couldn’t connect to any of the characters. I even tried playing it at a faster speed and it was still boring.
