    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. Some enjoyed the cougar story and emotional writing, praising the excellent narration. However, others found the narration robotic and disliked the audio interruptions. Some felt the storyline was wrapped up too easily. Overall, the book has its flaws but still manages to evoke emotions and engage readers.

      The book of great the problem is the audio, most chapters are interrupted right at the end, it's quite annoying and takes away from the book.

      I believe this may be my favorite age gap romance, sigh~~so emotional and so beautifully written. The narration was excellent.

      I enjoyed this cougar story and the narration. Falling in love with one's best friend's daughter would be a hard situation.
    • 3/5
      I could not get into it. The narrator sounded like she was reading a book. Good narration shouldn’t sound like “reading a book”. She was almost robotic. The story was “ok”, but I would have liked an epilogue.
    • 3/5
      Chapters cut off at the end. No way to know how much is missing. Very disappointing.

      Seasons of Love
      by Harper Bliss
      Audio narrated by Carmen Rose
      2-1/2*

      Alice McAllister is a 51-year-old workaholic who has finally been convinced to go on holiday in Southern Portugal, staying in the vacation home of her best friend and business partner, Miranda. Shortly after arriving, she receives word from Miranda that her 29yo daughter, Joy, is going to crash for a few days, thus interrupting Alice's peaceful getaway.

      Although the prudish Alice feels uncomfortable with Joy's excessive drinking, oversharing, and uninhibited flaunting of her body, Joy's good-natured attitude and youthful exuberance quickly allows her to steamroll her way into Alice's good graces; however, a random moment of seeing Joy nude in the moonlight at the beach triggers thoughts that make Joy feel uneasy, and she is forced to recognize and confront her feelings for the younger woman.

      I think this is supposed to represent a love story, but I didn't see any growth in their relationship and it seemed to be centered on lust, with the younger and more easygoing woman being almost a bully to the older one, pushing her to come out in the open with the relationship faster than she was ready to, especially considering this was the first awareness she had of being attracted to women, having been divorced for over 15 years and essentially being married to her job. There were her doubts regarding the age gap as well as her best friend being Joy's mother. They had a lot to overcome. When the book finished, I didn't feel confident that this was a relationship that would last, despite finding resolution to some of the major issues they were facing.
