    It has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. Fragments of this Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. In this audiobook you will discover the Secret, and you will learn how to have, do, or be anything you want.

    Well, if you are looking for this particular title as I was, you wont mind it. However it is a longer version of the movie, so it doesnt hurt but whatever. nothing mindboggling.

    If you could sum up The Marriage Bargain in three words, what would they be?

    SUSAN ELIZABETH PHILLIPS!


    What did you like best about this story?

    Fantastic story-line! She write like my favorite author SEP!
    Enough (but not too much) sex, secrets, and silliness.
    Humorous at times and keeps you wanting more


    What about Coleen Marlo’s performance did you like?

    She ACTED not just read the parts of the characters.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Marriage, Money, Motivation! Not what it seems!

    Patricia Haley’s inspirational series following the drama-filled Mitchell family shot her to the number-one spot on the Essence best-seller list. Anointed transports listeners back to the saga’s beginning, when Dave and Madeline Mitchell were still married, raising a family, and building a million-dollar business. Then Dave hires a pretty young assistant named Sherry Henderson, and temptation gives way to desire - setting events in motion that will haunt the Mitchell clan for decades to come.

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

    Not really, Typical story line- Spoiler Alert, Husband works too hard wife upset and lonely. Husband's assistant gets too close to him--yada yada...


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

    Noting interesting, typical storyline. heard it before.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    No the narrator did a good job for the material


    Was Anointed worth the listening time?

    Unless the book is truly pathetic, i listen to it all the way since I paid for it. So the MONEY was worth the listening time.


    Any additional comments?

    Its not really boring, don't be afraid to buy it. just don't expect some new concept and story-line that you haven't read (heard) before.

    Instead of saying "I do" to Mr. Irresistible, Lucy Jorik hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle with a rough looking, bad-tempered stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. While the world searches for her, Lucy must search for herself, and she quickly realizes that her customary good manners are no defense against a man who's raised rudeness to an art form. Lucy needs to toughen up - and fast. Her great escape takes her to his rambling beach house on a Great Lakes island. Here, she hopes to find a new direction...and to unlock the secrets of this man who knows so much about her.

    What disappointed you about The Great Escape?

    Too many extra story lines, no true flow. And I didnt care about the characters or what happened to them.


    What was most disappointing about Susan Elizabeth Phillips’s story?

    I may be wrong on this, but she Moved away from the true personality of the Lucy character. She tried to explain her history, after "First lady" but it didnt make it in my opinion. I didnt care for this at all. The story line didnt catch me.


    What didn’t you like about Shannon Cochran’s performance?

    She didnt have much to work with. It wasnt the narrator's fault this time.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    NOPE, Well only one, The author is STILL Susan Elizabeth Phillips, so It wont stop me from looking forward to the next one.


    Any additional comments?

    Still waiting on the next one; We all deserve a second chance. Out of the many books i've read over the years this was the only one that i feel was a waste. Love ya still SEP>

  • So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore: An Unexpected Journey

    What would you do if you met someone you thought just might be one of Jesus' original disciples still living in the 21st century? That's Jake's dilemma as he meets a man who talks of Jesus as if he had known him, and whose way of living challenges everything Jake had previously known. So You Don't Want to Go To Church Anymore is Jake's compelling journal that chronicles 13 conversations with his newfound friend over a four-year period and how those exchanges turn Jake's world upside-down.

    Where does So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Its quite low on my scales only because its's not my standard for audio books. Its Kindof non fiction because this issues do go on in the real churches today.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    not really a character, the book just got me to thinking alot about my church and what goes on there. It also got me thinking about my role in my church ministry.


    What about Wayne Jacobsen’s performance did you like?

    Loved teh performance, he read slowly ( but not too slowly) and I was able to follow his reading.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Not sure, In my opinion, it shouldnt be. This should be a story that makes you THINK, not be made "Hollywood."

    Inner Circle depicts the life of Evelyn Lozada’s off-camera alter ego, Eve Inez. Much like The Basketball Wives, Inner Circle reveals everything athletes’ wives live through, complete with the cheating, scandal, manipulation, and gossip. And this time, nothing is being held back. None of the wives are prepared for how addictive their rich lifestyles can be, and they find themselves stooping to unimaginable levels of deception to preserve their social status.

    What did you love best about Inner Circle?

    I expected it to be quite pitiful but I liked it in the end.


    What other book might you compare Inner Circle to and why?

    Any book by Luticia Lovely. Scandal within wealthy African American society.


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

    no


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

    Yes, I did during work instead of music.


    Any additional comments?

    I kinda wished They kept the "non MF factor " reference out. Since I also watch Basketball wives, it made it a bit predicable for me. Evelyn lost a bit of original creativity.

    Fans of New York Times best seller The Nanny Diaries will rejoice in this wickedly hilarious novel, which acclaimed author Katharine Weber says is "much funnier and darker". Optioned for a major motion picture starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, The Ivy Chronicles skewers the twisted priorities of America's well-heeled elite.

    There was supposed to be a movie based on this book and YEARS later, it has yet to be released. What happened to the movie? Well in the meantime, it still have my audio-book.

    I have listened to this one at least four times.

And surely any child of Jane's would be a little too brainy for the playground set. So she sets out to find a special man to father her child, someone without too much gray-matter between his ears: in short, a big, strong dope. Cal Bonner, legendary pro quarterback, seems to fit the bill. But there's something Dr. Jane hasn't counted on.

    Call Me Irresistible is the book Susan Elizabeth Phillips's readers have long awaited. Ted, better known as "little Teddy," the nine-year-old heartbreak kid from Phillips's first best seller, Fancy Pants, and as "young Teddy," the hunky new college graduate in Lady Be Good, is all grown up now—along with Lucy from First Lady and Meg from What I Did for Love. They're ready to take center stage in a saucy, funny, and highly addictive tale fans will love.

    She's back to the writing style we all know and love. Love the characters the story-line, the flow. This is not a five star book- I only give five stars to book I have listened to more than once.

    NOTE- I have listened to SEP's Natural Born Charmer and "Match Me..." no fewer than
    6 time each. Don't be afraid to down load Call me Irresistible if you've listened to any of SEP's early works!
