First Impressions (Abridged) Audiobook

" It's okay. Romance, mystery, a bit of suspense. I found her writing to be a bit repetitive. For instance the protagonist Eden, constantly reviews her relationship with her daughter. I understand why but it just made the story L - O - N - G and without good reason. By the end of the book I was a bit tired of her. It's a quick read, sometimes light hearted and will serve in a pinch. "

" After a certain point, I needed to know how it ended so I stayed up till 2 in the morning to finish it. "

" Completely enjoyable romance/mystery. Surprise ending! "

" Not overwhelming but it was alright. The main character was complex and had a lot going on her life. Her daughter was so annoying...I didn't even want to read the parts with her. But, a decent plot...I was glad that not too much was given away until the ending...I was never really sure what the end result would be. "

" I enjoyed this book quite a lot. It's not so much a romance as a mystery, with a couple of murders and some stolen, or lost, jewels. One scene has implied skankiness, but nothing that can't be skipped it that sort of thing concerns you. "

" I always like Jude Deveraux and her books are very entertaining. "

" Another light vacay read. "

" If you're a Jude Deveraux fan you'll like this book. A little mystery, intrigue, romance and comedy. "

" Slow start but good story. "

" A cute mystery. "

" I love Jude Deveraux, so this is just what I was expecting! She never lets her readers down! "

" enjoyable romantic suspense "

" Good Book. Quick Read. Enjoyed the storyline for what it was - pure amusement. "

" Wanted something lite to read for a change, but this one didn't hold my interest, although I did finish it. "

" i felt like this book was written by and for a ten year old. big letdown from one of my fav romance authors. "

" Silly, fun book. Interesting, but nothing to rave about. "

" You will not be able to put in down! Read the entire book in one day! Jude is fantastic...make sure to read all her books! " "

" 435 pages but it was OK. I think Jude Deveraux could have condensed this story a little more. At times I was bored with the story but I kept reading. A little cheesy. Thought there would be more romance, so that was disappointing. Looking to forward to reading some books with more substance! "

" Great book!!! (See, Adrienne, I *do* give positive reviews every once in a while ;)) "

" I really did enjoy this book for entertainment... but I felt some of the things were kinda left hanging at the end.. like why she didnt end up doing ANYthing with how much she loved gardening and all... "

" Absolutely ridiculous! I listened to it on booktape (3 cassettes) and since I needed to stay awake while driving, kept listening. My eye-rolling muscles got a real work-out on this one! "

" changed 4 star to 5! just finished reading this book last night and it was realy wonderful! i liked the suspense and mystery of the story! "

" The humor between the characters made this a fun read!! The mystery kept weaving and wasn't as exciting as it could have been. "

" sort of ridiculous and improbably, but passed the time. didn't make me want to read more books by the author. "

" I LOVE Jude Deveraux books (and of course to brag I am getting a personally autographed book from her) and every one that I have read will hold your attention. This one was a little harder to get through but I still loved the plot and how she turned things around. "

" It was pleasant...but not really moving. I think that the plot line was good but needed to be more developed...I felt that there were several holes in the story. "

" Nice romance with people not too young! "

" I like all of Deveraux's books. This is not my favorite, but I liked it better than "Forever" and "Forever and Always". Slightly implausible, but entertaining. "
