Entrepreneur Vance Banning took a residence in rural Maryland to escape business pressures—and relationships with women pursuing his bank account.

Vance’s suspicions of the stunning beauty’s intense interest in him start to fade when he realizes Shane’s compassion is honest and joyful—giving his heart permission to experience true love.

An enjoyable listen
I didn't enjoy this Nora Roberts as well as some of her other books. I could tell this was an older work, not just from references in the book, (VCR'S and arcades), but her writing wasn't what I've gotten used to. Cassandra Campbell was brilliant, however. I loved her inflections and could tell all the characters apart. I will be looking at others works from this talented narrator. Overall, an enjoyable listen.

Charming Super Romance
Really charming romance obviously written post Harlequin, pre cell phones. Single mom Hester moves upstairs from graphic novelist Mitch, who quickly becomes a very important part of her life, and her son, Radley.
I really appreciate Taz, the talking dog, since I have a talking cat ;D
Campbell does a great job creating a romantic, moody narration.
Recommend when you need that heart healing romance without the sappiness. And lots of smiles.

Local Hero by Nora Roberts
Thankfully, the title, which I think is atypically NOT representative of this book, I managed to pretty much ignore due to the Joy I share with so many readers of Nora Roberts' books.
I have been through several years of health issues and family activities, but today started with such a number of obtrusive phone calls that I disabled phones and Internet after letting my family know,
Then YES, this book I have saved for a quiet day. And the wait was more than worth it! The love of a young mom sacrificing for her only son. Always great relationships, adding in decisions about the hope of tomorrow for these genuine twosome or ? threesome ? as Nora

Disappointment
What disappointed you about Local Hero?
Everything - the characters were annoying. The story was ridiculous. And the narrator was painful to listen to.
Would you ever listen to anything by Nora Roberts again?
Yes - I find it's hit or miss with this author. When it's a hit it is a great experience. When it's a miss it's forgettable.
What didn’t you like about Cassandra Campbell’s performance?
She is so breathy, whispery and sing-songy and the inflection at the end of each sentence are annoying. I've listened to many, many audios with her performing and I've yet to like one of them. She is my least favorite performer.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Local Hero?
Oh, there are so many....
