    After being caught in the middle of a love triangle which led to a devastating betrayal, Kiera pledged to learn from the mistakes she’d made. She was determined to never again inflict that kind of pain on anyone, especially the soulful, talented man who held her heart. But life offers new challenges for every relationship, and when Kiera’s love is put to the ultimate test, will it survive? Love is easy...trust is hard.

    When Kellan’s band gains stardom, Kiera and Kellan’s relationship is put to the ultimate test. Can their love for each other withstand the constant pressure of superstardom? The friendships they’ve formed, the new family they’ve found, and the history they’ve forged will all play a part in helping them navigate the turbulent waters of the band’s exploding popularity. A greedy executive hell-bent on success, a declining pop star looking for an edge, and a media circus that twists lies into truths are just some of the obstacles the lovers will have to overcome if they are going to remain together.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes! Definitely! Wow... I just loved this one. When you have read Thoughtless & Effortless then you need to read *Reckless* which ties it all together so well.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Can't pick one! Sorry! Kellan & Keira rocked! Anna & Griffen... so cool! Denny the most forgiving friend and I can just keep going on - all the cast made this book so appealing to me.


    Which character – as performed by Rebekkah Ross – was your favorite?

    Told you, to many to choose from! I really like her as a narrator <3 though...


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I would have loved to be able to but unfortunately I could not. I am re-listening as I type. It's that sort of book I'm sure I will re-listen to (this series) over and over.<3 <3 <3


    Any additional comments?

    I really enjoyed Keira and Kellan journey and how they evolved. KK is my Rock God! and on that note maybe SJ Stephens might write Griffin's story or Evans and Jenny's * winking * just a thought <3 <3 <3

    When Jace walked through the doors of Aggie's dungeon, the last thing he expected was to find self-forgiveness and the love of a remarkable woman. But when a terrible accident sidelines Jace during the band's tour, the burdensome chains of his past wrap ferociously around his heart. Determined to crack through Jace's armored shell, Aggie must go beyond her usual methods to mend his heart to love again.

    What did you love best about Hot Ticket?

    The whole book. I love the way Olivia brings it all together; Aggie just keeps chipping away.


    What other book might you compare Hot Ticket to and why?

    I really like Olivia's style of writing and wouldn't compare this book; just know this series is in my top 10 favourite reads now.


    Have you listened to any of Justine O. Keef’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Justine is awesome! I would listen to anything she narrates. I have only listened to this series with her as the narrator and again EXCELLENT!


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

    When Jace finally realises the band are his friends and family! He really is very cute.


    Any additional comments?

    I wish that these books were released in the correct reading order :/ not to worry I will re-listen to this series again and again. Audible more of Olivia's books please !

    It's been months since Brian Sinclair, lead guitarist for the famous rock band Sinners, composed anything. Unable to write the music that once flowed so naturally, Brian is lost without his musical mojo. But when sexy psychology professor Myrna Evans comes on tour to study groupie mentality, Brian may have found the spark he needs to reignite his musical genius. When lust turns to love, will Brian be able to convince Myrna that what they have is more than just a fling, and that now that he's found his heart's muse, he doesn't want to live without her?

    For almost two years now, Kiera’s boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she’s ever wanted: loving, tender, and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together - Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university - everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart. Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source - a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he’s purely a friend she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes....

    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Kellan & Denny It was hard at time I felt for them both <3


    Have you listened to any of Rebekkah Ross’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    This is my first time listening to Rebekkah and would listen to her again - in a heartbeat she did a great job! I'm Australian and I only picked her up a couple of times.


    If you could take any character from Thoughtless out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Easy Kellan!

    Escaping a horrible marriage, Carolyn Connor has no desire to think about men - a vow she's determined to keep while on vacation in St. Lucia. She'll take the Caribbean sun and sea and plenty of tropical drinks with those cute umbrellas poolside, thank you. She absolutely does not need male company, no matter how tan and rock-hard his body may be. Easy enough, but then Carolyn meets the charming Marguerite Argeneau, who is infamous among her family for her matchmaking prowess.

    What other book might you compare Under a Vampire Moon to and why?

    I can't compare this one. I liked Carolyn - she has missed out on some much and had an awful relationship and along comes Christian everything she likes in a guy and GAY!!!!!! not... Its a fun little adventure with a turn at the end.... :D


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I had a few ....The scenes with Captain Jack are funny and you can just imagine the steam coming out of Christian's ears... :-)) He's a good guy as you will see...
    The dream scenes are great.... When Christian speaks to Caro in Italian
    The family discussing good kissers and bad kissers ....funny :-))
    Caro finally working out Christian loves her for her !!!!


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Yes I smiled and laughed a little..... I loved the whole hypothetical gay band boy thing - very cute !!!.
    The family bond was strong and I like that in a series it make you feel you are a part of the book.
    Good read or listen ...I wanted more in the end and listened to this in 2 days.


    Any additional comments?

    Hope you keep using Kirby Heyborne as a narrator he's great! I like his interpretation of everyone in this book - his Lucian is a little grumpy :-)) not in this book though....

    It bit: New York hotels cost an arm and a leg, and Terri had flown from England to help plan her cousin's wedding. The new in-laws offered lodging. But they were a weird bunch. There was the sometimes chipper, sometimes brooding Lucern, and the wacky stage-actor, Vincent. (She couldn't imagine Broadway casting a hungrier singing-and-dancing Dracula.) And then there was Bastien. Just looking into his eyes, Terri had to admit she was falling for him.

    Where does Tall, Dark & Hungry rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I really like Bastien... Terri just needed to realise he loves her and isn't going to leave....


    What other book might you compare Tall, Dark & Hungry to and why?

    Most of the series is sort of the same life mates meet and get together.In saying that I am enjoying this series - its funny, warm and the family connection is great.


    What does Jeffrey Cummings bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Jeffery is a good narrator better than some of the others in this series.


    Any additional comments?

    Vincent and Chris are the comic relief in this book and do a great job they made me smile and laugh on a few occasions.

    Angela did the females well - the males however I didn't enjoy as much... just didn't seem right...


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

    Etienne is such a lovely guy - kind, loving and yummy.... He loves Rachel and needs a little poke (a little help from Thomas) Rachel is attractive, brave and really deserves a guy like Etienne. Rachel just needs to get used to the blood drinking thing ...I loved Thomas with the straws he is so cheeky and cute.I also enjoy the family connection through these books its great!

    I want to listen to the other books but I don't like Victoria's narration so it's putting me off a little...

    Roundhouse Publishing editor Kate C. Leever’s first letter to her newest legacy author was intended to impress upon him the growing demand for his “vampire romances.” Though he’d expressed little to no desire for publicity, book tours or the like, it was clear that this was a writer waiting to be broken out. Correspondence with Mr. Lucern Aregeneau tended to be oddly delayed, but this time his response was quick and succinct.

    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Lucern - NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! his favourite word. .... Such a grump..... Then you found out he really is a soft marshmallow.... Kate suited him to a tee. Chris is a good character - he mad me smile a lot too!


    Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Cummings – was your favorite?

    I can't pick one Jeffery did a great job!

    This book was funny and enjoyable. I like the way the books overlap and the characters follow through the series.
