Description from the publisher:

A famous child psychologist, who has authored several best-selling books on raising children, discovers he doesn't know as much as he thought he did when he meets a pediatrician and mother of three.  Neither of them imagined how their lives would change when they shared a flight headed for Las Vegas for a medical convention.



For Jack Winston and Victoria Feingold, whatever happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.  It follows them back to Chicago.



Jack doesn't want to fail, but he's not sure he's emotionally prepared to live with Victoria's three children.  Not to mention her mother, sister, dog, and needy ex-husband.



Grand Central Station is a fast-paced ride and a lot of fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



GRAND CENTRAL STATION is a stand-alone, sweet, contemporary, comedic romance that includes a talking family dog.



I have an aspiring author whom I have been speaking to, and I coached him recently that “a problem has to be presented to the reader.”  In this story, there are many words, and various vignettes, but there is no problem to be resolved.



I wanted to like the story, but it didn’t go anywhere except to Vegas to get married.



I’m not even sure why the family dog talked, since his voice didn’t add anything to the story.



As you’ll notice, even my blog post is in vignette… because I can’t get a flow from the book.  Should I pick up something else from this author?  Have you read anything by her and loved it?  Tell me what you think.



Narration:  Marsha Casper Cook has a sweet British nanny voice.  Unfortunately, each sentence ends up being a clipped separate entity, and I think that affected the story.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions Adopt-an-Audiobook, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
