I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Then Came You: Gambler of Craven's Series, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

    Yes, I totally enjoy audio more. That way I can do other things and enjoy my books too.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Then Came You: Gambler of Craven's Series, Book 1?

    When Lily saves the bear. But she does so many things in this book that's entertaining that it's really hard to pick a favorite.


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

    This is the first time I've listened to her and I think she did a fabulous job.


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

    This book is very enjoyable. I usually listen to a different style of books, but this one is refreshing. If you do not want to listen to books with very explict love scenes then this one would be good for you. The story is very entertaining with romantic love scenes.


    Any additional comments?

    It's worth a credit for someone who enjoys historical romances. This one in my opinion was very good.

    Few outsiders will ever witness the dark misdeeds of the Heavenly Host. And among this secret society, where exiled Georgian aristocrats gather to indulge their carnal desires, fewer still can match the insatiable appetite of their chief provocateur, the mysterious Viscount Rohan. Pursuit of physical pleasure is both his preferred pastime and his most pressing urge, until he encounters the fascination of a woman who won't be swayed.

    I occasionally like to listen to the historical romance genre. I have to be honest and say it's not my favorite genre but sometimes I do listen to some that are fantastic.For example I loved Maya Banks highlander books. This one is an ok listen for me. I got it on sale and I was pleased with the deal. So for the price it met my expectations. I don't think I will get any of the other books in this series due to the fact that it wasn't good enough for me to want to use my credits on them. In saying that I might be tempted if they come up on the $4.95 sale like this book did.

    I just hate to have to wait! At least book three will be out soon.

    I loved this one. It's nice to hear the story from the male perspective. This entire book is from his point of view and thats refreshing for me.

    I did enjoy the narrator. Being from "the south" made the narration sound nice to my ears because it sounded "english" to my untrained ears.

    So in my opinion it was worth my credit. I pre-ordered book three and I don't do that unless I really like what I'm listening to.

    Tyler Murphy was an LAPD detective, single and happy - until a near-fatal tragedy crippled his friend, fellow detective Eric Catalano. While Tyler supported Eric, he also became a shoulder for Eric's wife, Delaney, to lean on. But with one naughty suggestion from Eric, a drunken night with Delaney spilled into erotic abandon. Before it was over, Tyler saw his best friend's wife as a woman and yearned for more. When Eric struggled to deal with the aftermath, Delaney begged Tyler to leave.

    I’m such a fan of this series. As soon as it was available for pre-order I immediately ordered it. I'm so accustomed to hot dominate men with intense sexual escapades and a damsel in distress. I got a hot man of course. I also got a damsel in distress. I got NONE of the chemistry I had got in the previous 5 books. Please don’t write a book just to get another one out there. I want the intensity of previous books. Not a “filler” book.

    This one felt like one just put together to appease the demand. It doesn’t stand out like the others did. It’s a very predictable book with predictable sexual situations. In my opinion I wasted my credit and that’s something I would have never thought I’d say on this series.
    Don't waste your credit on this one. It's just too insipid.

    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.

    Story

    I absolutely loved the first two books. From the very beginning of book three we are off with the drama again. You just have to love an author that can reach out, twist you into knots, not into one but THREE books. So here I go again. I’m getting myself all caught up with the drama and getting upset with all those “other” people making trouble for Kellan and Kiera. I find myself laughing at the antics of Griffin. I find myself continually hoping that Kellan and Kiera don’t let things mess their love up and please, please, please don’t cheat on each other.

    It’s just amazing. Go ahead and use your credit or just purchase this book. Like I’ve stated in earlier reviews in the previous books, the sexual content is mild and in these books the other content is so good it doesn’t matter. This series is at the very top of my favorite books ever.

    Successful, attractive, and in control, Nora seemed so different from her shy, terribly vulnerable younger sister. Grieving for Franny, Nora reads her diary and is stunned when it reveals a secret sadomasochistic affair with a mysterious professor known only as M. Nora vows to seek justice for the sister she never really knew and undertakes a daring scheme to seduce this lethal and manipulative man in the hope of uncovering information about the murder.

    This one did leave you wondering until the end who killed Nors's sister Franny. It has some pretty rough sexual scenes but not the "hot steamy" type. It wasn't one of those books that enthralled me and it's not one I'd care to listen to again. Just a somewhat average listen.So my advice would be to use your credit on something else.

    This is an interesting story but it could of been so much better.I did like the realization of the damaging and sometimes unexpected consequences of your actions. It wasn't a book that swept me into it. It has some interesting twists though. This one was is good enough for me to be satisfied with if I had gotten it on sale but not enough for using my credit. It does have strong sexual content but not the "steamy hot sex" that you get from Maya Banks, Shayla Black, Lora Leigh or Olivia Cunning, which I think are the best authors out there. So save your credit for the good ones and if this one happens to be on sale it's worth a try.

    Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, Carolyn is gaining an - um - intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor.

    Heather has always let men run over her. That is until she meets Tony. He brings out a new side of her that she thinks never existed, or maybe it just took meeting the right man.

    This is a light, sexy listen. It's perfect for killing a few hours listening to a love story with some kinky thrown in. I didn't mind using my credit on it. I would recommend it for a fun listen.
