Park Avenue Prince Was A Work Of Art......

.... But Not Quite A Masterpiece!

May Contain Spoilers;
Louise delivers another well written plot that's dialogue driven, with no wasted words or unnecessary details! It's an instant love story, that's both sweet and steamy, but the relationship between the characters was a battle of push / pull. I enjoyed both the H/h. Poor Grace, in the past she chose the wrong men, but I felt her character was strong, independent, and well rounded.

Sam's character was more interesting, and reminded me of a Phoenix. He rose above his past, worked hard to build his empire, but was never far from his roots. His character was down to earth, and not the typical billionaire, he wasn't concerned with materialistic things. Due to his past, he had a hard time connecting, and developing relationships with both friends and lovers. However, the more time he spent around Grace, the more he understood his deep seeded need to keep people at a distance.

The ending did feel rushed but overall, I enjoyed the story, and narration. The narration really made this audio, York and Arndt never disappoint. I used my credit, and didn't regret it.

Nice Enough

I think Louise Bay just phoned this one in. This just felt like a book written following a formula. This was a nice enough romance with some heat but lacking the substance I've come to expect from Louise Bay. Fortunately, she enlisted two of the best narrators for romance audio. Andi and Sebastian make this story better than it really is.

Worth a reduced price but I don't think I would give a credit for it.

Same as every others of the author's books

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoy Louise Bay's stories but this one was just seemed very amateur for her. I felt like my 16 year old niece could have written this particular story ( minus the sex scenes) and it would have been just as good.

What could Louise Bay have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

A different story line

What does Sebastian York and Andi Arndt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They give it great depth and enrichment

Do you think Park Avenue Prince needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No because it wasn't that great in the first place.

Lead Female Character

I just do not like a female who gives into and makes excuses for the horrible actions of a man. Grace was perfect in every way except her willpower. He left her high and dry when she needed him the most then humiliated her. All it took was for him to show up weeks later for her to forgive him. A female character with little backbone is a pet peeve.

Love this narration

What did you love best about Park Avenue Prince?

How the book is called Park Avenue Prince and Sam is nothing like anyone from Park Avenue. It was refreshing.

What did you like best about this story?

Sam is so rich lives on Park Avenue in an empty apt with an old couch and a mattress with cups he took from his office, priceless. Also how Grace is called a Fixer, by Sam and her friend Harper. Because without a doubt we all have that one friend who thinks she can fix the guy she falls for.

What about Sebastian York and Andi Arndt ’s performance did you like?

They make an awesome team at narrating. I love Sebastian York's voice and always enjoy Andi Arndt's portrayal of all the different characters she plays.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

In order to make a film about it they would have to rewrite the story and add more backstory to the characters.

Any additional comments?

The story was good not five stars but I give it four stars for two reasons. One because it is the typical story of boy meets girl, boy falls for girl something happens and now they have to make up. It kind of was blah same old story again. The second reason is I think the author should have dove more into the characters back story. Why Sam was so closed off, more of the story about him and Angie would have been nice in foster care, was there ever a falling out between Grace and her parents? Why was there so little about Sam's story? I just feel there wasn't really a lot of depth about the characters. But I did enjoy it I just feel the story missed some of the building blocks of the characters and the story would have been better if they were there.

Great Narration. Worth a Listen for Romance Fans.

This one was a bit hard to rate for me.

Although it had Great narration by Sebastian York & Andi Arndt!
(Those two are some of the best there are when it comes to narrators)
The story was a bit lacking with character development & chemistry for me.
While I liked it. I didn't feel the passion of the two main characters as much as I did in Max and Harper's story (King Of Wall Street)

All in all, I would recommend it to all those out there looking for a romance
with not too much angst, and excellent narration!

Not Sexy Enough

I was expecting a lot more from my three faves: Louise Bay, Sebastian York, and Andi Arndt. Not hot enough, weak and predictable plot, and an unneeded extra hour and a half.

WOW!

Wait and Hope. Dumas has it right. This book made me laugh and cry. Sam and grace are the ultimate lovers, each with their own story of angst as they come together to show each other what really is ultimate bliss. Do not miss this one. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of getting to know these two extraordinary people. And, as a bonus, this story made me look up more quotes by Dumas. ...yeah, just wow!
