Admittedly, this isn't exactly the relaxing holiday Leah Beaumont was hoping for - but it's the one she's got. With her sister Michele's family falling apart at the seams, it's up to Leah to pick up the pieces and try to hold them all together.

Disappointed in narration.
Would you consider the audio edition of Sand Castle Bay to be better than the print version?
After recently listening to Theresa Plummer narrate Robyn Carr's new book, I was really disappointed in the narration of this one. It seemed like she was just reading the words, she didn't make me feel like I was listening to a real conversation. After several chapters, I just shut it off and continued to read the book with narration. I enjoyed it much more. I'm sorry I spent my credit on this narration.

Cliché
Very predictable. Too sugary sweet after first chapter I didn’t want to hear another word. Decided to give it a chance. At least details of sexual encounters weren’t included.

Either Story or Narrator are One Dimensional
I'm not sure if it is the narrator or the storyline but I found this book to be very shallow & one dimensional. I kept listening hoping it was get better but it never did really. The hero of the story needs to stand up to his irrational pushing former mother in law. Both main characters are selfish. I kept wondering if I was actually reading the book instead of listening to it would I like it better. I don't know & probably never will because I doubt that I will listen or read any more of Ms. Woods books.
