The Violets of March Audiobook

" A cute little book! It's a story within a story with secrets held by all. I liked how everything came together in the end for the truly happy ending! I enjoy love stories where a woman listens to her heart. "

" NOT A FAN. SHALLOW, WHINY CHARACTER AND UTTERLY PREDICTABLE. SHORT BUT A WASTE OF TIME. "

" Loved this book. It is set in today but the true story stems from the 30s-40s era. I love history and stories from that time. It a love story that spins from a love story of old. Cant wait to read her other two books. "

" Kind of fluffy but I enjoyed this quick read. "

" Interesting twists in this through the ages romance. I recognize that love lost due to misunderstandings is an age old plot device in romance novels, but there were moments when I just wanted to slap some of the characters and tell them to say what they were thinking already. Of course it would have been a much shorter book if everyone just told it like it was. "

" Really good yarn with some hidden past secrets, and I loved the descriptions of Bainbridge Island. Easy and compelling read. "

" I really enjoyed both stories contained in this novel, and the mystery kept me guessing until the end. "

" This was a slow read for me. I don't like when there are a lot of characters and I have to figure out where they fit in. It was an overall good story. I would've gave this five stars if she had included a scene with Evelyn. "

" Love it! The characters are great and the flow of the story very compelling. I couldn't put the book down. Recommended! "

" Some clunky writing and imagery but the plot held my interest, even if I found the narrator self-absorbed and shallow. "

" This book is great summer reading. Alove story and a mystery. "

" What a silly book! Usually the recommendations that I get from Book Page are good, but the last two novels were awful. I skimmed so much of this, and it has to be one of the most predictable stories I have read/skimmed! "

" Very Mills and Boonish--romance novel predictable. "
