Linda Lael Miller's best-selling contemporary romance novels are always a treat. Without a doubt the sexiest of her McKettrick series, McKettrick's Heart introduces a bold new love interest for handsome ladies' man Keegan McKettrick. Publishers Weekly enthuses over "the complex, conflicting dynamics [and] intense romance" in this sultry tale of smoldering passion.

Would you try another book from Linda Lael Miller and/or Christina Moore?

Of all the books I have listen to by LLM, this one is my least favorite. Parts are just to unreal and too many things were not addressed.

Has McKettrick's Heart turned you off from other books in this genre?

NO!!!

What three words best describe Christina Moore’s performance?

Didn't like

Was McKettrick's Heart worth the listening time?

It is a one time only story, which I would no recommend to friends, but enjoyed her other books.

When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires. Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s 14 years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

Justin and Libby Denbe have the kind of life you’d find in the pages of a glossy magazine: A beautiful 14-year-old daughter. A gorgeous brownstone on a tree-lined street in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. A great marriage, admired by all. A perfect life. When investigator Tessa Leone arrives at the crime scene in the foyer of the Denbes’ home, she finds scuff marks on the floor and a million tiny pieces of bright green Taser confetti. The family appears to have been abducted.
Janet says: "I'm exhausted! In a good way."

Where does Touch & Go rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

All? I would have to say top 50%.

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

Yes!! For the past two days, I had an ear bud in one ear.

Any additional comments?

This was the first book I listened to by Lisa Gardner. I now have several in my "wish list".

What did you like about this audiobook?

I did not enjoy!!! Slow and immature.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

NO!

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The story is about adults, but written as the main charters didn't have a clue in life.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

I have listen to the narrator's other books, no problem. It was not the narrator!

Eve Dallas is the tough lieutenant hot on his trail, but this is unlike any case she’s ever been assigned - or any killer she’s ever pursued. A police sketch based on eye-witness testimony reveals the killer has green skin, swollen red eyes, goblin ears, and a dislocated jaw-structure that defies the human form. Is it a mask? Is it make-up? Or is the explanation more sinister? Dallas faces off against multiple suspects - all of them students of medicine capable of precisely slicing the ears, noses, and eyes of the three victims.
L. Reiner says: "In Death Book 33.5 - Not Robb's best, but good"

When Elliott Cruz first courted struggling single mom Karen Ames, it was a romance worthy of any Sweet Magnolia fantasy. The sexy personal trainer made it his mission to restore Karen’s strength - physical and emotional - and to charm her children. Now, a few years into the marriage, colliding dreams threaten to tear them apart. Elliott’s desire to finance the business opportunity of a lifetime with their hard-earned “baby money” stirs Karen’s deep-rooted financial insecurities.

Would you try another book from Karin Slaughter and/or Kathleen Early?

Probably not.

Would you be willing to try another book from Karin Slaughter? Why or why not?

I made myself finish this book, I was bored, and set it down several times.

How could the performance have been better?

The story just wasn't one I could get into, too many t's not crossed and i's not dotted.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Criminal?

Too many to list........

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have not changed the story, but the narrator wasn't the best for this book. I have liked all of Susan Mallery's books, this one needed a sa narrator to carry the story to the end.
