There are sensuous pleasures that can only be tasted in the night.... He comes to her in the twilight between sleep and consciousness to fulfill her secret desires. Lyssa Bates has never experienced such ecstasy, brought to her by a man whose deep, soul-penetrating blue eyes hold the promise of tempting intimacies and decadent pleasures. But this stranger, this lover, this immortal seducer is only a dream - a phantom of her nocturnal fantasies - until he appears, inexplicably, at her door in the flesh!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Her guardian stories change the characters but continue as the others. It only changes the sexy story line which was already done. Only if you need the fantasy of the sexual scenes.

What three words best describe Shana Savage’s performance?

Great with the female lead but not too well with the male voices. They all sound the same.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Any additional comments?

Sylvia Day's Gideon Cross has more substance with troubled characters, very like Fifty Shades of Grey. More of that would be better.

Adam, Ethan, and Ryan aren't looking for women. They're looking for a woman. One woman they know will share their lives and their beds. They're losing hope they'll find her, that is until Adam discovers Holly lying in the snow just yards from their cabin. Adam knows she's the one the minute he holds her in his arms, and as soon as his brothers see her, they know it too. The only problem is convincing Holly of that fact - and protecting her from the danger of her past.

Would you listen to Colters' Woman again? Why?

Absolutely!. I've only just started reading the book and am so taken in that I need to share.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Colters' Woman?

So far every chapter is riveting.

Which character – as performed by Freddie Bates – was your favorite?

They are all my favorites. Maya Banks delineates each brother as separate individuals, yet shows them each as loving, respectful, hot and sexy.

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

Yes, If I didn't work daily, I would have finished it in one day.

Any additional comments?

I've read many hot books by other wonderful authors and Maya Banks stands equal to them all. Though other reviews are about the fantasy of a woman with 3 brothers she can't resist this is definitely on top of my list.

What did you like about this audiobook?

One of the best I've ever read!

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

This is one of the most exciting vampire stories among several others I've listened to.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

Petkoff brought each character to life. He's a consummate narrator creating the voices and images perfectly. I'd read any book he narrates.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Nothing!

Do you have any additional comments?

Kresley Cole is a wonderful vampire story teller creating characters and images that come to life. I've downloaded several of her books, but this is so far the best.

What did you love best about Seven Years to Sin?

The physical descriptions of the characters are very vivid.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Seven Years to Sin?

The sensual reactions of 16 year old, innocent Jessica after watching Alister having sex in the garden made me want to read on. She shared that moment with her fiancee and let you know how in touch with her sensuality she was.

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

She's an excellent actress changing her voice to fit the characters keeping you in the moment.

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

Sharing their past secrets and creating a loving and supportive bond between them.

Any additional comments?

The sensual, sexual scenes are graphically described and make me want to read her again and again. If I am looking for a book about sexual fantasies, she's the gal who offers it in her love stories.

From award-winning author Leigh Ellwood comes a wild and sexy tale about werewolves, were-panthers, and the women who love them.
Living in Bliss, New Jersey has it perks, unless you're a shifter looking for love or a human looking for peace and quiet. Not only does Calla Savitch, owner of Shear Bliss salon, have to deal with warring panthers and werewolves with overlapping appointments, she's fed up with their constant matchmaking attempts. The last thing she wants, especially, is a hook-up with the one shifter who broke her heart years ago.

It is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?

The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Story

If you could sum up Fifty Shades of Grey in three words, what would they be?

I laugh at the other reviews of this series. Porn!? sadism!? perhaps one can interpret it that way. But I read an exciting love story and character study about two people who found love for the first time. Anastasia is a virginal and inexperienced but very smart, beautiful and principled young woman and Christian a very wealthy self-made megalomaniac. He's amazingly handsome, sexy, experienced and worldly. This is what drives him to be sexually controlling and dominant with submissive women. That is until Anastasia comes into his life by accident. That day changed everything for both of them.This is a page-turner and sexy love story for all woman.

What did you like best about this story?

The intensity of both characters to have their own way and meet in the middle through love and patience was very real.

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

Hearing a story read by a good actor is more riveting for me. I am able to listen to the story in any place at any time I want and turn it on and off when I need to.

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

It was a very heart-warming and happy ending.

Any additional comments?

This book has been a great fertility drug for couples who need a boost in making love and conceiving.
