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.

    It was supposed to be simple. All Navy SEAL Nathan Malone had to do was rescue three young girls from a Colombian drug cartel, then allow himself to be captured just long enough to draw out a government spy. That was before his mission went disastrously wrong… and before his wife, Bella, was told that Nathan was never coming home. Bella’s mourned her husband’s death for three long years, having no idea that he was still alive....

    Would you listen to Wild Card again? Why?

    Yes, it was not what I expected. It was more! When I read the summary I got the impression it would be somewhat boring. I read reviews and saw so many liked it, so I finally decided to try it. I'm glad I did.


    What other book might you compare Wild Card to and why?

    I think it's a little like the Wicked Lovers Series by Shayla Black.


    Any additional comments?

    It's one that I'll enjoy again and I already got the next book in this series before I finished listening to this one.

    Dylan Carroll, an ambitious college student filmmaker still reeling from the death of her brother, may have just stumbled upon the opportunity of a lifetime. Musician Kai White is in the middle of a public relations nightmare, and he may be keeping a secret that could turn things around. His manager/publicist wants to create a Web series aimed at cleaning up his image. There's also a promising offer at stake if Dylan can abide by the rule of staying strictly professional, and if she can figure out what Kai is hiding. But Kai and Dylan already have an undeniable connection, and when they are together, they discover that rules are pretty easy to break.

    After the first few chapters I was thinking maybe I had messed up getting this one but then the story started pulling me in. Then it happened, I got swept into the story. Yes at some points Dylan got on my nerves but then that's part of what I enjoy about a good book. I want my emotions to be drawn upon. I'm not saying I want to be aggravated about a book but I do want to be moved.

    So I'm giving this one a Yes on the "worth a credit".

    I thought this book might be interesting. I usually don't go for the short stories and I should stick with that but sometimes I like to mix it up. These three stories are OK but it's nothing to get excited about.

    I'd advise you to go for something else because these short stories just didn't make the cut for me.

    Inarrii agent Alinna Gaerrii was tasked with observing the Starforce base on Earth. Crash landing her observation pod onto the base was not part of her mission briefing. Neither was making m'ittar--mind contact--with Major David Brown, the human who discovered her amongst the wreckage.

    This is an interesting story of an alien observing Earth before making contact. Then due to an accident she gets the opportunity to. There's one human that she really needs to get real personal with.

    I'd say this is a interesting book. I would not spend a credit on it. It's good but not good enought to use your credit. Catch it on sale and enjoy it. It does contain strong sexual content.

    Story

    In my opinion there's nothing to make this book stand out. It's not one that I wanted to listen to in one sitting. I like to be swept into a story and I don't have to have the hot sexy scenes to enjoy a book, but this one is dull and there's NO passion at all. The sexual scenes are alluded to. I didn't like it at all the one and only time the characters make love it's practically a kiss then the next day. The story had allot of things going on but theres no excitement in it for me. There's a few humorous parts to the book but not enough to make it good.

    I wouldn't use my credit on this book and to be totally honest I wouldn't want this one on sale either.

    "Why me? Why now?" That’s what Beaulac, Louisiana, detective Kara Gillian was asking herself when an angelic creature named Rhyzkahl unexpectedly appeared during a routine summoning. Kara was hoping to use her occult skills to catch a serial killer, but never had she conjured anything like this unearthly beautiful and unspeakably powerful being whose very touch set off exquisite new dimensions of pleasure.

    First of all, I really liked this book. If your a fan of the paranormal genre then I think you'll like this one too. It's very mild in sexual content. It has a great plot and I'm looking foward to the other books in this series.

    Now to my complaint. Why does Audible release books in random order? Book 2 of this series is not avaliable. This really irritates me. I have noticed this on other series too. For those of us with a touch of OCD books out of order tend to be a problem. I wonder what I have missed in the storyline because I liked the first book so much I will get book 3. UGH!!!!

    Elle Montgomery's life is going one way. And Cole Carson's is going the opposite. There's no reason their paths should ever intersect, even in a small town in central Washington. But summer in the Methow Valley has other plans for Elle and Cole. After an awkward run-in at the local swimming hole, Elle tries to keep away from the guy who looks at her like she's already lying beneath him in bed. She fails. Cole is about as successful at staying away from the girl who seems immune to his charms.

    Ok so I'm a sucker for this type of story. It's good with just enough angst to make me a happy girl. This is a few shades darker than a light romantic listen but not many. It's one that pulled me into that fictional place and time for a few hours of my time. I consider it a credit well spent.

    Everything always seems to fall into place for 24-year-old Aubrey Jenson, except for when it comes to her luck with men. Bad boys always draw her in and crush her heart, and Black Falcon's lead guitarist, Riff, is no exception. After sharing a few wild nights together, she leaves him behind, knowing a guy like Riff isn't the relationship type. When she returns to New York, she tries to get the passion she felt in Riff's arms out of her head by dating Isaac, a successful representative at Center Stage Marketing. Just when she thinks she's forgotten Riff, she's forced to see him again.

    I keep wondering as I listen to this series of books why I just can't love them like I love Olivia Cunning's books of rock stars. I think they lack the depth that Olivia can communicate in her books. The first book in this series was better than this one. (Narration could of been the issue.) Therefore this is just Ok and I'd prefer to get this one on sale or not at all.

    I do not like the male narrator. His voice does not suit the character. His voice sounds older and I just can't see Riff's voice sounding like that in my mind. I actually would of preferred for Aletha George to do the entire book.

    This was just soooo good. It gave answers to questions but it does leave me wanting more. It's as good as the first but don't despair it won't leave you hanging as bad as the first book. Lisa Renee Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. What can I say? I just love the way she leaves me wanting and I do love her male characters.

    Go ahead this is totally worth that credit!!

    I've had this book on my wish list for months but I had been hesitant about getting it. I'm glad I did. Ava makes a forbidden deal with Heyerdar to try to get the man she has been in love with for 10 years. Things do not go like she planned.

    I like all the magic in the story. It's different for my usual paranormal listens. No vampires or lycans in this book. It's a good listen and I felt it was a credit well spent. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

    A childhood accident left Emmaline vulnerable to disturbing fugue states that last minutes but feel like an eternity. The blackouts are unsettling but manageable... until she meets Johnny Dellasandro. The painter gained fame in the '70s for his debauched lifestyle and raunchy art films. His naked body achieved cult status, especially in Emm's mind - she's obsessed with the man, who's grown even sexier with age. Today he shuns the spotlight and Emm... until she falls into a fugue on his doorstep.

    This was definitely a new type of story and it was interesting. I don't think it's one that I'd care to listen to again and also I'd prefer to get this one on sale instead of using a credit. I just couldn't get into this one. Maybe because Johnny had went on to marry several women and have several kids. It somehow makes their love not as intense as it should be. So it's just an OK listen for me.
