    Valentina isn't averse to sensual pleasure, or even to the idea of finding true love, but as a Hollywood business manager she's watched too many smart women fall for actors...only to be torn apart when the fairytale comes to its inevitable end. But when intense weeks together on set turn their heated attraction into red-hot flames of passion, Smith knows he has to find a way to convince Valentina to let him get a little bit closer. Close enough to completely steal her heart...the way she's stolen his from the start.

    If you could sum up Come a Little Bit Closer: The Sullivans in three words, what would they be?

    I have listen to each book at least twice. This on once may be enough.
    It was different than the others. I liked that it continued the other sibling stories.


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

    Most interesting is mother may found love.
    Least interesting the confusing parellel story of the movie. Women to submissive she or he should of been more dominant. A lot of fooling around stolen kiss etc.
    I must admit I liked the relationship in the movie they were creating and thought that would make a great book with a young pregnant poor lady and a billionaire.


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

    Not as high as the others but good.

    From the moment he beds Desi, Caine knows turmoil will follow. Desi might have the face of a temptress, but she also has a will of iron, and while she needs his protection, she's determined that no man will control her again. They establish an uneasy bond, but it isn't enough for Caine. He wants all Desi has to offer. He wants her screams, her moans, her demands...everything. Yet there's still a bounty on Desi's head, and keeping her sexually satisfied is proving easier than keeping her alive.

    Where does Caine's Reckoning rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    The narrarator sucked she sound like she Reba Mcentire when she says wwhhyy.
    The story was so slow I wanted to listen to something else not a western where sugar cubes where like gold and women in the story are victims of human trafficking and turned into whores ( don't get excited PG book). Finally the end was near an it had a cliff hanger on the main characters twin sister, so I skipped a couple of books to Trackers story and it wasn't like I missed anything because that book caught you up. and it has a way better narrator.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    It was predictable heroine and her hero.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Zoe Winslow?

    She sounded like a child and I was so glad she was replaced in later series.


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

    No to blaring I listen while cleaning. This book was mostly PG.

    Cole is successful beyond his wildest dreams. He can have any woman he wants, but there's only one he can't stop thinking about: his childhood sweetheart, Ren. He's never forgotten his first taste of innocent love and the desire that consumed them - or the pain he brought upon her . . .Her long ago brush with submission awakened a longing in Ren that drove her to walk the darker edge of desire. She's become a beautiful woman at ease with her sexuality and unapologetic about her need for a dominant man.

    What did you like best about Sweet Addiction? What did you like least?

    Started strong and then got utterly stupid. This was not like the others in the series. This book had passion and a strong narrator. But the story was just stupid and the characters were whinny and it was hard to stay focused.


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

    Cole said some of the sweetest things. Lucas I don't know what to think. The epilogue was totally laughable. Straight dominate men and one woman protected and loved forever definitely not worth the credit.


    Any additional comments?

    I can't blame it on the narrator she did a great job on what she has to work with.

    There is nothing Connor Malone wants to do less than babysit the outrageous and out-of-control pop star Lyric Jones. But part of him relishes taming the celebratty songstress and showing her what it's like to be possessed - body and soul - by one man. And though Lyric's crazy antics nearly drive Connor to the edge, his quiet intensity penetrates her defenses, leaving them both vulnerable to the secrets that could topple Lyric from the stage.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Sweet Possession to be better than the print version?

    I loved the series best of all because it was just a man who knows how to treat his woman and only wanted her even though she was plump and fiesty. The author writing was exceptional I felt like I was watching a movie and drinking a Cosmo. Great way to update the other chrachters and add the addition of new ones.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Connor and Kane. Tough men who don't take the bullcrap. Lyric was stronger than I thought. After her confession's I wanted to hold her to.


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

    This one was less erotic but good because the earlier books are very kinky. But if you like gang bangs this book isn't for you. This book is a true love story about a man who lost his sh*t over a woman his woman. I love the relationship that Lyric had with his friends it made me ache for the same.


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

    Yes you will laugh and cry this book brings up the topic of sexual abuse of a child very riveting.

    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.

    Pretty darn good. I swear I listen to the first book and wish I hadn't bought the series because you just want to choke the crap out of Kiera maybe kick her ass. But then the second book was corny but okay I did like the hearts and flower angles, makes you wish your spouse was more romantic.
    The last book of the series was the best. I laughed I cried. I was shopping at the mall and had to sit and listen because it got so intense.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Reckless?

    Spoiler Alert***





    When KK saved KK by using himself as a human shield.


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

    KK


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

    Don't leave your woman with a rock god. Or The bus trip.


    Any additional comments?

    If you start the series and finish it to the end you will be rewarded.
    The last book wraps everything up.

    Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate - and completely irresistible. A beautiful bastard. Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative - completely infuriating - creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules....

    What would have made Seven Years to Sin better?

    I don't like period books I like modern romance. Disappointed I just couldn't get in to it. Audible was wrong for not saying this book takes place hundreds of years ago. If i liked period novels than I would give a higher rating. I love Sylvia Day's books just not this book.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    The Sullivan series. I like how they flow. By Bella Andre.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Fiona Underwood?

    N/a


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Disappointment. I blame it on Audible. Goodread said it take place 200 years earlier in their review. If I wanted pride and prejudice I would of picked it.

    Audible needs to be real with their reviews.
