Well I have no problem with Romance Alive Audio's abridged audio cassettes I have listened to plenty that I have liked but I didn't like The Tea Planter's Bride, not because it was abridged, but because the story was just not enjoyable I didn't like the creepy plot involving the evil, perverted villain! Anyway I'm glad I only listened to a very abridged audio cassette and I didn't listen to an unabridged audio cassette or read the book!

The audio tape by Romance Alive was one of the worst I have ever experienced. It was so abridged there wasn't much of a storyline, let alone a plot. If the editors had put more emphasis into keeping a storyline rather than trying to condense the book into one cassette, the story might have made more sense instead of a choppy rendition of missing parts-what were the editors thinking of, trying to save trees? I felt like I was in a black hole trying to make sense of nonsense or at a three act play in which only one act was performed. But given the editing quality of the audiobook, I suspect the book in its entirely isn't much better. I've purchased books by Rosemary Rogers, some of her earlier works I have really enjoyed which were well developed in plot and style. I haven't purchased any of her newer books finding them disappointing. The Tea Planter's Bride is a definite "No Sale" and should be refundable to anyone who purchased it.
