entertaining

age is just a number, so true
although not Gerris' best work, this story was enjoyable from start to finish, loved all the side characters who made this such fun.

Needed more

I won't write a long review. There are a couple of problems with this story which is why I marked it 3 stars overall. First as others have said, the plot device of a character posting photographs taken without permission, and how the other characters accepted this as an okay thing, even funny thing to do, was jarring and didn't sit well with how I would have expected Megan's friends and her sister to react, also taking into accoun that Megan had a number of difficult relationships prior. The second issue I had was the fact that the development of the relationship between Megan and Leah didn't have a lot of romance, or conflict. They simply got together. That can work, but for me, in this novel, there wasn't a lot to keep me hooked.

All that been said, I wouldn't write it off, just maybe listen to other lesfic stories prior to this one. The narration by Nicol is very good, and I like the simple and realistic setting for the characters and their professions.

Fun and romance

What did you like most about The Roundabout?

I like that this book was an easy read. The story was fun and not to deep.

What other book might you compare The Roundabout to, and why?

I would say The Rainbow Cedar would be the book I would compare this to as the characters are fighting the feelings that they know they have. It makes you want for the characters to be together.

Which character – as performed by Nicol Zanzarella – was your favourite?

Megan was my favourite she was fun to listen to. Her moods and her quick temper reactions made the book more enjoyable.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Personally not really there was a few AWWW moment's but I really don't think it was the kind of story where it is meant to move you. That is just the way I read it.

Any additional comments?

Very fun and easy to listen to and book to read. I have this on Audio and Paper back. I just wish that all of Gerri Hills books where on here I would have them bought and downloaded in a heartbeat.

Another charming romance from Gerri Hill

Another charming romance from Gerri Hill. This audiobook is well produced and narrated, which makes it a great listen.

Not fake after all

This story is about Megan a woman that is desired by most women in the town where she lives, but after having her heart broken not once but twice as they both cheated on her, she has decided not to date at all.
But things happen that she can’t change and a woman that has a crush on her happens to have pictures of her naked and threatens to put them online unless she goes on a date with her.

Megan refuses and then creates a fake relationship with the new girl in town called Leah who is a older woman that also is not looking for love.

But Leah likes and is intrigued by the beautiful Megan with her bossy ways, they don’t get on at first over car parking, but then sparks fly and a fake relationship turns into the potential to be real.

I got to say that Megan’s sister annoyed me a lot, she should of had her sister’s back when that mad woman was blackmailing her younger sister for a date and she didn’t have her back at all.

I got to say this was a charming romantic book, and I laughed a lot through this story when I wasn’t expecting too.

The book was well written, also the narrator was excellent at the voices.

This book is from Megan and Leah’s point of view.

kind of annoying

The plot was a little immature and annoying. I love Gerri's work and stuck with it, but really didn't enjoy this one. There was also a slip with Nancy being in her 50s and later saying her mom was 64. Not Gerri's best work by far.

Problematic story line

Laughing of non consensual nude photos and blackmail is not cool. Disappointing. Story line and writing not up to usual standard
