Close Enough to Touch Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Victoria Dahl's contemporaries are on my auto-read list, but this one missed the mark with me. The heroine is too bitter, too suspicious, and too whiny for too much of the book. Her problems are her own fault, but her attitude dares people to disapprove of her. When people give her the chance that she wants (but hardly deserves), she acts almost disappointed that her self-fulfilling prophecy didn't play out the way she expected. The only saving grace was the hero and some of the supporting characters. A very disappointing start to the new series. "

" I generally like Victoria Dahl's books. They tend to be funny, well-paced, and have good dialogue. This one was just kind of disappointing: the plot was thin, the characters poorly-developed, and I never actually bought anyone's motivation for anything. "

" Book club book so I don't want to say much before discussion but I really liked it. One or two minor points kept if from a four star read but I'll certainly be reading more from this series when it comes out. "

" This was a surprise for me, I was reading it not sure if I like the Grace's character. She grew on me though, Cole had me at hello. After the story gets established then it starts to get interesting and all the variables that make these two characters who they are, are revealed then you have yourself a good story. I realized after I read this that there was a setup for a spinoff. I hope so. "

" This book was so slow. I thought I would not finish it. Definitely not one of Victoria Dahl's best work. Hopefully the rest of the books in the series will be better. "

" i am absolutely not objective. imho, victoria dahl can do no wrong. even if she does delve a bit into schlock-land periodically. "

" I really love all her books! She is one of my favorites!! "

" I didn't like Grace, and didn't want Cole to end up with that miserable woman. "
