    Story

    Jack LeFleur is an amazing reader. This isn't the first book he's read that I love. I don't know if he picks the books he read (fantasy/sci-fi/romance) or if he's assigned to the genre, but either way he is very well suited. This book is also absolutely brilliant. I found that the combination of a great plot and an excellent reader left me standing staring into space completely focused entire on the words I listened to. Jack LeFleaur puts so much animation, so much emotion, so much emphasis in the way he reads that it's like listening to a movie. I highly recommend the book, am now a new fan of these authors, and I strongly recommend the reader. He could read the phone book now and I'll listen. Good audiobook overall! Five stars!

A captain with the invading Coalition forces, he believes that self-sacrifice is the most heroic act, and his own needs are only valid if they serve the state. Mike, an operative planted within Cirokko's rebels, has been ordered to seduce Sergei and pry from him the Coalition's military secrets. His mission is a success, but as he captures Sergei's heart, Mike is tempted by his own charade and falls in love.

    I bought this book in pdf form and read it in hours. I could not get it out of my head, I loved it so much that by the next day I came to an important realization. I couldn't be away from it, so I bought it here in audio format and took it to work with me. Whatever I had missed in my initial read, came across amazingly. The narrator is perfect. Ten+ delicious hours of listening and I started listening all over again. The world that the authors (Jamie Craig are two authors) build is so vivid you can hear and feel everything described. The despair, the fear, the hate, the love, the determination that the characters show is portrayed brilliantly. I recommend this as one of my top 5 best and favorite gay romance novels!

    There is nothing Aleron Pitre can’t steal, nobody he can’t con and no situation he can’t slip out of until he’s sent to the prison planet Tantoret, where every sentence is death. If the prisoners don’t kill each other, they’ll die slowly and painfully from mining the poisonous drug chojal. Yet Aleron still hopes that he can escape.

    Gorgeously written. The emotions within are raw and beautiful. I couldn't stop reading. And the reader is perfect. At first, even listening to the sample, I laughed because I couldn't believe he intended to read the entire book this way. But, that slow, deliberate way he reads made the scenes come alive and listening to certain scenes drove me insane with the way he put emotion into every heart-wrenching, gorgeous word.

Riva's greatest hits:
  • Bulletproof: A Matter of Time, Book 5

    "Great book, poor narration"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story
    What did you like best about Bulletproof? What did you like least?

    I love almost all of Mary Calmes' books. Jory and Sam are one of my favorite couples. I LOVE Jory and the way he looks at life, he is so much fun. But I hated the narration.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The relationship between Jory and Sam.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    I don't understand why they switched from Paul Morey, he was great as the narrator for the first 4 books. Mr. Gelder has a very nice voice but there was no deviation in his tone for the different characters. Sam is suppose to have a deep, gravely voice and in this book he had anything but. It detracted from the story b/c I have read the all books and listened to the first 4 books with Paul Morey. It really ruined it for me and if Mr. Gelder does the final book, I will not purchase it.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Absoulutely!!


  • What Binds Us

    "Masterpiece!! Fabulous narration."

    Overall
    Performance
    Story
    What made the experience of listening to What Binds Us the most enjoyable?

    Everything. The characters, the story and definitely the narrator. He made the characters come alive. This is one of those books that stays with you for years after and you smile about it.


    What other book might you compare What Binds Us to and why?

    The Great Gatsby. The author is a master of the English language.


    Which character – as performed by Richard Magnus – was your favorite?

    Dondi,but all are great.


    Who was the most memorable character of What Binds Us and why?

    Dondi. Although the story is not told from his POV, it is mostly his story as seen by his best friend Thomas Edward. Thomas' romance is also beautiful but it mostly a historical memoir about Dondi's experience.


    Any additional comments?

    This is one of the best books I've ever listened to and one of the best books period.

  • Chasing Seth

    "Sweet, predictable story but horrible narration"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    Maybe, sweet but predictable shifter story. But I would tell them to read the book, not get the audio version.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    The narration was very monatone and boring. No emotion at all; everyone pretty much sounded the same.


    Was Chasing Seth worth the listening time?

    Not really, I should have read the book.


    Any additional comments?

    It's obvious a sequel was contemplated and I would buy it, but not the audio version.

  • Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden

    "Sweet story but narration somewhat annoying"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    The interpretation of Holden as Paul Lynde. I can understand why the narrator went this way, because the book really has great snarky dialogue. But as much as I like Paul Lynde, it is NOT sexy to hear the romance part of the book with his voice. It is really annoying after a while.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    It wasn't really that interesting. The story and romance is really pretty lame. The best thing about the book is the comedy, it is really funny. I would suggest listening to it as a funny read with a little romance.


    What three words best describe Shannon Gunn’s voice?

    Diversified. He did a great job with the different charaters, but I just didn't like Holden's.


    Do you think Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No, just let them be happy.

When they're ordered to take a vacation for the good of everyone's sanity, Ty bites the bullet and takes Zane home with him to West Virginia, hoping the peace and quiet of the mountains will give them the chance to explore the explosive attraction they’ve so far been unable to reconcile with their professional partnership.

Calico is directed at Western fans of any age, but has strong appeal to a YA readership - particularly to younger members of the GLBT community, who have relatively few positive role models in literature.
