This is my review of the audio book.

Fascinating series.

I’ve listened to a few really short (less than 2 hours) audio books without first reading the ebook, but this is the first long audiobook that I’ve ever listened to without reading the ebook first. It’s also the first book I’ve “read” by Addison Albright.

Once I started listening to this story I couldn’t stop. I listened to book 1 without taking a break. I had to split the rest up over the next couple of days but I really, really wanted to keep going. I’m fairly new to audio books partly because I never really thought that one would be able to hold my attention very well. That is also is why I’d previously only listened to books that I’ve already read. The Vows Box Set proved me wrong. I was engrossed in the story and just had to keep listening.

I’m not sure if I would have the same reaction to this series if I’d read the ebook, and not listened to the audio, but I like to think that I would. I’ve never listened to anything by David Gilmore before and I enjoyed his voice. The only small comment about his performance I have is that sometimes it sounded like the characters were speaking with too many exclamation points. I can’t honestly say I would seek out books that he’s performed but I would certainly be more than willing to listen to another one.

The stories in this set were full of emotion. I had no idea how long Henry would be marooned on the island (it was a long time but I’m not telling details) but the author gave us enough details about the survivor’s daily life to keep things interesting while at the same time keeping the pace of the story moving along.

Books often bring me to tears but I was still surprised when I found myself crying while listening in certain places. It seems that tears while listening to an audio book are also going to be a good measure for me of how much I enjoy the story, just like when I read.

I’m so glad that Nash got his HEA; I enjoyed his book just as much as the ones about Sam and Henry.
