    This was painful to listen to. The narrator is stilted, unemotional, and utterly ruins this book.

    The narrator is horrible. It's as if this is her first time reading.....anything. The word "opined" must have been on the authors Word Of The Day calendar because it's used so often in the story that a drinking game could be played while listening. I actually liked the idea behind the story. A better writer and narrator could have made this story worth listening to.

    Face-to-face with his ex-wife again, millionaire Marcus Keller received more than a jolt of deep attraction: He discovered he was a daddy. Vanessa had been pregnant when they divorced, bore him a son and kept it a secret. It was a betrayal he’d find it hard to forgive. But there was no way he would walk away from his child…his heir.

    The voice used for the main male romantic lead ruins the entire story. I was unable to find the character likable because the narrator made him sound lie a sleazy used car salesman.

    Gruff rancher Luke Evans' new live-in housekeeper comes with an unexpected addition...a small son! Emily may be pretty - and even Luke has to grudgingly admit little Sam's quite cute - but a family is not on this die-hard bachelor's wish list! Luke's plan? To spend as much time away from the house as possible. But, slowly charmed by Emily's sunny smile and Sam's infectious giggle, Luke begins to wonder if there might be room on his ranch - and in his heart - for a family after all....

    Listening to this audio book was painful. The narrator was not good and ruined the story for me. His voice just isn't cut out for the whole romance thing. Maybe non-fiction or something equally dry and unemotional.

    The over-the-top attempt to do male voices is comedic. Not so good for an erotic story. The narrator sounds like a little girl impersonating Santa Claus.

    The story is so good it's worth the whiny, high pitched narration. Really wish someone else would have narrated this audio book. I won't buy anything else if narrated by Erin Mallon.

    With the blood spell broken, Kane clawed his way out of the ground and searched for the soul mate that had freed him only to find that she'd vanished. With nothing left to lose and revenge on his mind, he started a war. The last thing he expected was to find his elusive in the path of destruction he'd caused. Quickly becoming obsessed, he watches her when she isn't looking, listens when he's not been invited, and stalks her every move... and the demon that haunts him knows she is his weakness.

    In all his 400 years, Rayven never met a woman like Rhianna McLeod. She is a vision of light, of warmth, of everything he is not - nor can ever be. Doomed to live forever in darkness and solitude, he knows all too well the risk in getting close to her, yet he hungers for her with a fierce passion he swears he will never allow himself to feel. Rhianna's father sold her to Rayven to put food on the table so she had no choice but to go with the dark stranger. To her surprise, he gives her everything she wants: the finest clothes, education, and the run of the castle - everything, that is, except his touch.

    I was really looking forward to listening to this book. The narrator's horrible reading ability and embarrassing attempts at accents makes you almost feel sorry for her.....almost. At least she got paid for the job. I actually paid to listen to her. Now that's embarrassing!

    Generations of werewolves have been secretly residing in a secluded valley a stones throw from Grundy, Alaska. So when a snooping Outsider comes to Grundy to investigate rumors of lycanthropic shenanigans in the area, the valleys pack alpha, Maggie Graham, resolves to chase him away, even if doing so takes a quick bite on the butt. What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg.
