I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Bella Andre. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Millions of readers/listeners have fallen in love with the San Francisco and Seattle Sullivans. Now get ready to fall head over heels for the New York Sullivans!

World-renowned artist Drake Sullivan doesn't paint women. Ever. Not when he knows all too well just how destructive painter/muse relationships can be. But on the day Rosa Bouchard walks onto the cliffs outside his Montauk cottage, Drake is so captivated that he can't stop himself from bringing her to life on canvas.

Shocked and horrified by the nude photos of her that have just hit the Internet, reality TV star Rosa's every instinct is to run from her Miami home and hide. After driving all night, she ends up in Montauk, New York, where she doesn't know a soul and plans to lie low until she can figure out how to deal with the media firestorm - and her own mother, who seems all too happy to sell out Rosa's happiness for more fame, more fans, and more money. The very last thing Rosa expects is to find, and to fall for, a sinfully sexy man like Drake Sullivan.

Drake has never felt this way about anything he's painted...and he's definitely never felt this way about a woman. When they kiss, everything but sweet, breathless desire melts away. But can he convince Rosa to trust - and to love - again after such a devastating betrayal?

What made the experience of listening to Since I Fell for You the most enjoyable?

Part of the reason that I enjoyed the second book of the New York Sullivans series so much was our narrator, Ms. Kaminsky. She has the perfect voice for those that want to be pulled into a story. She brings this branch of the Sullivans to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Since I Fell for You?

The most memorable had to be when Suzanne told her brothers to lay off. As well as having Roman take a second look.

Which character – as performed by Eva Kaminsky – was your favorite?

With this book it would have to be Suzaanne Sullivan. She may be what is considered a geek but she was learning what it really meant to be a woman. Ms. Kaminsky had a way of showing how Suzanne was vulnerable and a little unsure of herself - especially when it came to Roman Huson.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There wasn't one particular moment that moved me. I just enjoyed this book from beginning to end. From the time Suzanne gets mad at her brothers for overstepping boundaries, to a wedding, to when Suzanne and Roman give us what we want - especially to those of us that are true romantics.

Any additional comments?

I continue to love having Ms. Kaminsky read me the story of the New York Sullivans. She has a way of getting me to relax and listen to what she's telling me. She even made shoveling snow a pleasure.

Ms. Andre has me wishing that I could be a family member of the Sullivans. I want to be there to watch this family celebrate a wedding. I want to be there to see Suzanne fight for the right to be a woman no matter what her brothers want. I want to be there when Roman doesn't know what's hit him where a certain woman is concerned. i love reading this author's work but if I have Ms. Kaminsky reading to me I may just let her continue making me enjoy my days. It's books like this that make me glad that I gave up the radio to listen to a book instead. I am thoroughly hooked.
