From AudioFile:

Rose, Gavin, Neil and Kevin were all orphaned as teens and have bonded into a family. Neil and Rose learn to accept love into their lives as Gavin and Kevin face their limitations. Lorelei King provides a glowing voice and suitable accents for the characters, ranging from French and British to New York Italian. (Her British pronunciation sometimes trips on American words.) King smoothly moves from scene to scene and wraps this romantic tale in sweet tones that transport the listener. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
