    Slade needs a cure, but what he finds is a savior, in the latest paranormal romance from national best-selling author Sarah McCarty. Contains mature themes.

    What made the experience of listening to Slade the most enjoyable?

    It brought many of the earlier story and problems together. I can't wait for more so hopefully the spin-off includes the Ware's.


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

    You can't listen to it all in one sitting even though you would want to.

    Most schoolteachers count the days until summer vacation, but not Gwen. Sure, she loves her job, but it doesn’t exactly pay well. So when a student’s father asks her to fill in for his nanny for the summer, Gwen should be thrilled. After all, Alexander Romanescu is insanely wealthy, and she adores his daughter, Isabella. And yet… And yet she can’t shake the nagging feeling that saying yes to this man could lead to much more than she bargained for. Not to mention that the gig isn’t even in Los Angeles - it’s at the Romanescu’s isolated estate in Transylvania.

    Story

    This book was very misleading. It wasn't really a romance. Just because you have sex doesn't make it a romance. The questions about whether or not she was actually a descendent of Vlad Tapesh was very fuzzy?! Gwen was whiny and unsure of everything except that she really didn't care about her baby's father. One who came off as a weak punk because he loved her.
    The most dissappointing one I have ever listened to. This book had no heart only the whiner that is Gwen because everything seemed to be about what she wanted to do. I was still looking for all the things she said about Alex in this book but never could find. Maybe it was in the portions that was cut out of the audio book. Truely a waste of my time and I strugged to finish it hoping it would get better or that they would have some kind of resolution.

    Before she met Dragos, half-human half-Wyr Pia Giovanni was alone and on the run. Now, she's mated, pregnant, and heading south to repair the Wyr's frayed relationship with the Elves. Being separated from Dragos is painful, but for the good of the Wyr demesne they need to figure out how to be partners, in more places than just the bedroom. In New York to preside over the Sentinel Games, Dragos is worried about his mate, but knows that finding two replacement sentinels is essential to show the rest of the Elder Races just how strong and brutal the Wyr demesne can be.

    What made the experience of listening to Lord's Fall the most enjoyable?

    Draggos was not afraid to let his feelings be known for his mate. I can't believe Pia would want him to big wuss, but it was cute how he softened up to her a lot. I also am so glad that he and Rune finally talked. I didn't like Rune's book because I didn't believe their friendship should have broken up over such a weak misinterpretation. Especially since they had been best friends for centuries.


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

    Her voice impressions. It brought the other characters to life. The voice of Evie gave me pause but for the most part, they were good.


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

    When he goes with his instincts to find her even though he promised to give her a week where she was.


    Any additional comments?

    I sure hope she has more of these coming soon because there are some serious new characters.

    If you could sum up Fury of Fire in three words, what would they be?

    Fast! Exciting! Addictive!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Fury of Fire?

    When Mist was being interrogated by the police and could sense the dragons coming to get her.


    Have you listened to any of Benjamin L. Darcie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, but I thought he did a decent job with this story.


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

    Not really. I just like the story line and how it was told. I am happy that it wasn't about vampires.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    It was hard to believe that Rune would drop his friend whom he had known almost since the beginning of time from one conversation. After listening to this book which was long and drawn out, all I felt at the end was dissappointed. I couldn't believe that Tiago forgave him for him actually trying to keep him from his mate. He didn't even tell Draggo the situation between himself and Carling. He threw a major tantrum from a 30 second conversation and ended his friendship. I was not happy at all with how things developed. This particular book, maybe it could be more to some one elses taste.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Thea Harrison again?

    I would but this book stank! I really didn't like how this story dragged.


    Any additional comments?

    I am still stuck on the friendship thing. Not believable, how does anyone dump a friendship that has stood the test of time over an argument that only one side knew what was going on. You trust for millinia and then abruptly not without a clear reason. I hope the next ones have a better story line.

Manuel Manello, M.D., is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can - but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion.

    I absolutely loooved the other books. This one...not so much. I had to hear that same old crap about Quin and Blay and Vishous and.... Wait a minute. It was supposed to be Paynes and Manello's book right? Wrong! Nothing against it but I really don't want to hear about someone struggling to come out of the closet. Nor did I believe why V had such anger management issues about somebody he knew all of.. what... 5 minutes. Probably my last book also. I thought the book left you with more questions and answers to other questions, I didn't want answered. J.R,Ward? Not happy. Not happy.

    I loved this story and the narrator. I read the comment which was just a little rediculous since this is a "paranormal story" with many "imaginative things in it. Real life? Try the interracial couple in Britain that had twins, one white and one black. I liked the ending and felt everyone at the end got exactly what they deserved! Good job Michele Hauf!!!!!!

    Wow! Bad doesn't even describe this book. Total waste of time. This book was so dark, it had no redeeming qualities for the characters. You had to get past the narration which was beyond awful. The story line stunk also. I actually liked this series until I listened to this book. Sorry I wasted the actual money on it.
