Narration: AStory: BReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands Nora Stuart left her small town of Scupper Island, Maine, after high school to head to the Big City with a full scholarship to Tufts U.

Narration: AStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands I have truly enjoyed all of Kristan Higgins’ work from my first glom about 5 years ago. She writes small town romance, but not the series where you have to read a dozen books to finally get everyone married off. Her books are generally stand-alone or short series, and she focuses a ...
Read moreUntil There Was You by Kristan Higgins
May 5, 2016
Narration: AStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands I have been so, so pleased and excited to see all of Kristan Higgins’ backlist coming out in audio, especially with Xe Sands as narrator! Until There Was You was originally published in 2011 by Harlequin, and I’d read it in print more than once. Having it in audio is just the ...
Read moreMy One and Only by Kristan Higgins
February 18, 2016
Narration: AStory: B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands It’s a delight to have Kristan Higgins’ earlier titles out in audio now, narrated by the talented Xe Sands. The most recent one is My One and Only, published in print in 2011. Harper James is a little different from many of Higgins’ heroines – she’s a cynical divorce attorney who is ...
Read moreToo Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins
January 6, 2016
Narration: A-Story: B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands It’s a treat to revisit Kristan Higgins’ earlier books, and it’s a double treat to have them narrated by Xe Sands! In Too Good to Be True, we’re treated indeed to a story that has the trademark wackiness but also an underlying sadness, as Grace Emerson learns the lesson that when something ...
Read moreJust One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins
December 29, 2015
Narration: AStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands I was excited to discover that Kristan Higgins’ earlier books were being recorded, and with narrator Xe Sands! Just One of the Guys is one of my favorites, with Higgins’ trademark quirky family story, the humor, the emotions. Chastity O’Neill is the youngest of 5 siblings, and the only girl in a ...

December 14, 2015
Narration: A-Story: B-Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands I glommed Kristan Higgins in e-books in 2011 (7 titles at the time) and my review of those was that I loved all of them, although reading them all in a row showed me some basic similarities to the stories. The heroine is from a small town where the story takes place, ...
Read moreIf You Only Knew by Kristan Higgins
September 16, 2015
Narration: Xe Sands A; Amy Rubinate BStory: BReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Xe Sands and Amy Rubinate Kristan Higgins took a little step outside of her usual humorous small-town romance with If You Only Knew, which is more of a women’s fiction genre book than romance. The story is written from the points of view (POV) of 2 adult sisters, Jenny – a successful wedding dress ...
Read moreIn Your Dreams by Kristan Higgins
October 6, 2014
Narration: B-Story: A+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Recorded Books
Narrated by Amy Rubinate In Your Dreams is the next installment in Higgins’ Blue Heron series, based on a small fictional town of Manningsport in upstate New York where vineyards and wineries rule. Jack Holland is the proverbial prince of the town’s ruling family – his ancestors built the winery, and three generations of Hollands are still ...
Read moreWaiting on You by Kristan Higgins
April 7, 2014
Narration: B-Story: B+Reviewer: VictoriaPublisher: Blackstone Audio
Narrated by Amy Rubinate Kristan Higgins is one of my favorite authors for romantic comedy, touching relationships, and providing a much-needed escape from a frantic world. I got hooked on her when I read one of her novels about a family of firefighters (Just One of the Guys) and started following her blog. She has a ...
Read moreThe Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins
November 11, 2013
Narration: B-Story: A+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Blackstone Audio
Narrated by Amy Rubinate When Higgins does it right, she hits it right out of the park – The Perfect Match was amazing. Honor Holland starts out in love with her high school friend Brogan, who is really just her fuck buddy. At least to him. So the prologue is awkward and cringe-worthy, revealing that Brogan is ...
Read moreThe Best Man by Kristan Higgins
March 18, 2013
Narration: CStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Tantor Audio
Narrated by Amy Rubinate Kristan Higgins has a delightful contemporary romance voice – romantic comedy based on the foibles of family life and small town America, with some weightier subjects woven in for a dose of reality, and usually a Notable Pet in the form of a great dog. Faith Holland had left her family and ...

Fun romcom set in Maine. Narration: Justine Eyre, Wobbly vocal sound disappoints.
