She’s his dream girl. Except for the fact that she’s way too young for him. And way too sweet. And his best friend’s little sister.

He’s everything she’s ever wanted. Except for the fact that he’s convinced they’re totally wrong for each other. And the stubborn-as-hell thing. And the her-brother-will-kill-them part.

But then she discovers cotton candy flavored body powder, pink fur wedges, and nipples clamps, and everything changes.

Well, except the her-brother-will-kill-them part.

This series seems to have two names The Bradfords and Everyday Heroes.  The stories revolve around the Bradford family, their community center, doctors, nurses and paramedics.

Just My Type is about Mac, a paramedic and Sara, the youngest Bradford. They’ve been attracted to each other for years but thought it couldn’t work for various reasons. Sara decides she is going to do what it takes to make it work.  I found this plot to be the least realistic of the books so far.

Both characters are good people, who have some personal growth ahead and personal misconceptions to overcome. We have the same amazing circle of friends. However, the story is mostly away from Omaha and the hospital. The beginning is on vacation and the rest is in a small rural community where Mac lives. The friends and family were much less present and this kept them from common sense longer.

I’m all in for the next one, Just For Fun at the end of January.  It looks to feature one of my favorite tropes, the fake relationship.

 

Narration:

Karen White continues to bring this series to life. The vocal performance didn’t stick out in any glaring way, which is a good thing. It allows me to enjoy the story. The different voices for each character, were well performed.   I was able to listen comfortably at 1.5x speed which is new for me.

About Karen White

Karen White is a classically trained actress who has been recording audio books since 1999 and has well over 150 books to her credit and is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA. Honored to be included inAudiofile’s Best Voices 2010 and 2011, she’s also an Audie Finalist and Best Audiobook of the Year winner for 2009, 2010 and 2011 (The Hemingses of Monticello by Annette Gordon Reed, Too Good to be True by Erin Arvedlund, and Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O’Connor) and she has earned multiple Audiofile Earphones Awards, recently for and You Had Me at Woof by Julie Klam and Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz. Publishers Weekly says of Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick, “Karen White delivers a stunning reading, her character interpretations are confident and well-rounded, and she forges a strong bond with the audience.” Speaking of Audiobooks says of her, “Karen is one of my auto-buy narrators – if I think a book may interest me, her narration will sway me to give it a try.”

KAREN GREY is the pen name for award-winning narrator Karen White. A stage, screen and radio drama actor in Boston, New York and Los Angeles in the late 20th century, she started recording books in 1999. Now back in her home state of North Carolina, she shares a home with her family and (probably) too many pets, where she continues to narrate audiobooks as well as make up stories.

    • It was fun! I just missed the rest of the group a bit as it allowed them to go on with “the lie” they were telling themselves longer than if they weren’t isolated. I highly recommend the whole series.
