I am an avid reader! Now I guess an avid Listener. I am addicted to Audible, and love how it keeps me focused when I am trying to get my work done. I am also a really fun kids entertainer... some Adults too!
"Sucked in"
Nora Roberts as usual does a fantastic Job of writing the most sexy and thrilling story to help us forget all about our own reality. Yes it is sexy and visual love it or leave it! I might add that I am not a fan of romance, but this one sucked me in.
"Yummy"
Loved the story. Mr. Stechschulte, you have a voice I throughly enjoyed but your Southern accent was less than stellar at times condescending to my Southern ears. Please don't ever do a Southern accent again. However, don't let this negative comment keep you from down loading the book. Mr. Stechschulte doesn't over use the accent and he really does have a pleasing natural voice.
"Outstanding."
I've always been a fan of Nora Roberts' more thriller/mystery based novels. So when I came across this one and realized that I hadn't heard it yet, I instantly bought it. While the narration was vaguely annoying at times, (The accents bothered me some) the book itself was outstanding. As I was listening, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, racking my brain to figure out who the killer was. Most times with some of Nora's books, it's obvious as to who the murderer will be before you even get to the end. This one, though, I never saw it coming.
I was blindsided when I heard who the murderer was. The character was one of my favorites, and when I heard just who it was, I was mind blown. It was the last thing I had suspected, and I must give a round of applause to Mrs. Roberts for her outstanding plot twist. This book was greatly worth the money and time spent listening, and I've already suggested it to many people. This is a great buy.
"Loved it!"
Yes, I loved the characters and they reminded me of folks in my own small rural town
When Tucker made love to Caroline in that slow seductive tone only a southern gentlemen can do.
His voice is like Butter!
When Cy realized that he was not to blame for his father's death
One of the best Nora Roberts books so far. Im off to find another.
"Lose the bad language please!!!"
Yes....and ....No! I loved the story line....and it kept my interest.....but I got really tired of listening to the foul language and the crude sexual references...by both the men and women. The sexual theme was a bit overdone and the language was offensive and tediuos.
Not sure.
Tucker and Caroline, were my favorite.....but Cousin Lulu was a hoot too!
Yes! Avoid small towns in Mississippi. Ha ha!
Nora Roberts could write a lot better stories ...without all the foul language and crudity....in my opinion. I like her books....but I prefer to read books that are colorful.....but less crude.
"Loved this story, Loved the characters!"
n/a
OMGosh I loved the back story on all the characters & the fact that we got to hear their POV's every once in awhile. & the backstories were all good ones. It's been a week or 2 since the book ended & I'm missing them.
They were just so well thought out.
I loved that I could almost picture the characters. The voices from each different person were spot on & sometimes I really couldn't tell that it was the same person.
I don't want to be a spoiler alert, but when he takes the boy in to work at sweetriver you just fall a little in love with him. =)
"Weaved together perfectly."
Between Nora Roberts writing ability and Tom Stechschulte's performance, this book is a definite audible must.
"Reader had an awful sound to his voice"
Well I am not sure if it was the reader who was trying to get into character but listening to someone talk when they are moving spit around in their mouth is very nasty. I couldn't handle the sound he was making while he was reading. It drove me crazy.
Not as good
not sure
yes but you have to get past the sound of the reader
"Could not finish"
The southern accents were so bad that I could not even finish, and I love Nora Roberts. I decided to read the book instead.
The accents were way over the top, and I have lived in several areas of the south.
"Very slow, Not Nora Roberts normal great book"
No, this is very slow & very long. It is not up to Nora Roberts normal great books
No, this is very slow & very long. It is not up to Nora Roberts normal great books
yes. I prefer women narrators but for a male voice he was very entertaining. Too bad the book was very dry.
Half the length
