    Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries.

    Story
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Definitely, I have read ever book in this series, and the story seems to lead back to the original storyline. If you are a big fan of the Dark Series, this will remind you of Falcon and Sara's story, Traian and Joie or Dayan and Coriane. Where the lifemate recognize each other right away and they come together to defeat the vampire, and at the same time are very comfortable with each other and truely love each other. No violence to win them. One of my favorite in the series.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    The dragon was my favorite. Even as he was dying and giving a piece of himself to Dex he never gave up is spirit.


    What about Erik Bergmann and Kristine Ryan ’s performance did you like?

    Very good performance. I like that Feehan's uses both a female and male voice.


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

    It didn't make me laugh or cry, but it did make me feel that the storyline was going back to the original storyline.


    Any additional comments?

    I was glad to see that Jasmine and Jubal were getting close. I also like all the interaction with the other characters.

    Young Savanna Dubrinski is a mistress of illusion. A world-famous magician capable of mesmerizing millions. But there was one - Gregori, the Dark One - who held her in terrifying thrall, whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality sent shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine.

    What made the experience of listening to Dark Magic the most enjoyable?

    The best part is to hear the characters I like have a voice. It also gives me the feeling of how the story is suppose to be.


    What other book might you compare Dark Magic to and why?

    Dark Challenge is similar to this story. Both women are strong and have to stand up to men that most fear. However the men are very much in love with their lifemates and learn to live with their strong women.


    What about Juanita Parker’s performance did you like?

    Very good narrator. I liked it when Feehan used only one person to do a number of books, it kept the story more cohesive.


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

    When Sarantha drew a bath for Gregory and gave him the TLC he needed. It was a beautiful part of the story.


    Any additional comments?

    This is a very good series, and the matches are very enticing and the love the lifemates have for one another is very respectful.

    I pay strangers to sleep with me. I have my reasons....But they're not the ones you'd expect. For starters, I'm a funeral director taking over my dad's business. Not exactly the kind of person you'd expect to fork over cash for the lust and urgency only live skin-to-skin contact can create. Looking at me, you wouldn't have a clue I carry this little secret so close it creases up like the folds of a fan. Tight. Personal. Ready to unravel in the heat of the moment. Unsurprisingly, my line of work brings me face-to-face with loss.

    If you could sum up Stranger in three words, what would they be?

    Surprises all around.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I like that the protagonist takes care of the dead and describes that a funeral is for the ones left behind and not the one who dies. I
    I also like that the protagonist mistake help her find the love she needed.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    Narrator was very good at creating a feeling about the characters.


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

    Strangers no more.


    Any additional comments?

    I love Megan Hart's story. They are very erotic, but the stories are excellent. Characterizations are very unexpected, they never have ordinary lives, but love is very much a part of the stories.

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to Lover Enshrined the most enjoyable?

    The narrator really makes this story. For some reason this story wasn't quite as interesting as some of the other books. Without the narrator I would have never tried another on of J.R.Ward books.


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

    Corrines transformation. She always want to be an individual and she gets her chance and helps others also get there's. The least interesting was Phury's addiction. I'm glad he gets a hold of it.


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

    Yes, I have heard Frangione narration, and he makes the series, because his voice brings dimension to the story.


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

    The moment that I thought was important was when Quinn was made John Matthews protector and his life was spared after supposedly killing Lash.

    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.

    Story
    Would you consider the audio edition of McKettrick's Heart to be better than the print version?

    No, but it does bring the characters of the story to life. You get to understand how they are feeling about each other and the challenges they are facing.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of McKettrick's Heart?

    I like the trail ride where all the relatives get to know each other and Molly gets to ride her first horse.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Molly patches up Keegan after he has a fight with his cousins, and tells him to grow up. It seems at this point the characters start to fall in love


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

    The moment that moved me is when Psyche makes believe she change her mind about letting Molly adopt Lucas. She kinda forces Molly and Keegan to marry.


    Any additional comments?

    This was a nice conclusion to the series, but I always want more McKettrick.

    The last thing Sid remembered was being enlisted to protect a vulnerable young woman in the coastal town of Sea Haven. Then, as if in some nightmare, he was lost in the swirling currents of the ocean, and sucked deeper into a freezing black eddy. Just as quickly, he was saved - pulled ashore by a beautiful stranger. Her name is Rikki, a sea-urchin diver in Sea Haven. Soon they will be bound by tantalizing secrets, which will engulf them both in a whirlpool of passion and danger.

    Yes, the series is 100% better than the HBO series. The action is amazing and never ending. The characters are well developed and create a world you never want to see end and can't wait to see what happens.


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

    The ending of the story makes more sense than the ending in True Blood. I like the character that helps Sookie at the end.


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

    She is one of the best narrator I've heard. She is great with both the male and female voices. You can't tell the differences. Her ability to create Sookie's world is very realistic.


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

    Vampires aren't all their crack up to be.


    Any additional comments?

    Sookie Stakehouse series is better on audiobook.

    Dark Prince is toward of the top of the audiobook I've heard.


    What other book might you compare Dark Prince to and why?

    The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter compares to the Dark Prince. Both introduce a human woman to the paranormal world and the woman end up being the backbone to all the characters in the series and gives the series a comforting feeling to them.


    Which character – as performed by Juanita Parker – was your favorite?

    Raven was my favorite since she not only had to deal with a supernatural lifemate, but she also had to deal with fanatics.


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

    A Hidden World

    This series was the first that I liked enough to buy the books and then the audiobook.
