    The loss of control. The fear of desire. Allie always thought that mysteriously sexy rancher Caleb Johnson wanted her as much as she wanted him. But since he never acted on it, she was ready to admit defeat. Until the night she was attacked by a vicious wolf, only to be rescued by another. In the triumphant, bloodied male, there was something Allie recognized---the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. Her savior was Caleb.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Caleb to be better than the print version?

    Yes, I don't have time to stop and read a print version with my busy life. It is easy to multitask and listen to story when doing things that don't require my full attention but still need to get done. I get lost in my stories and Tavia is by far my favorite narrator.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Caleb?

    How Allie rescued Caleb even though she was scared to death. She is a women of honor even though was she terrified. She never stopped helping the one she loved.


    What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

    She is outstanding. The way she moves between characters with ease. She is one of the best narrators there is. Making every story she reads literally come alive!


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

    Caleb

    The journal comes to Sara McMillan by chance, when she inherits the key to an abandoned storage locker belonging to a woman named Rebecca. Sara can't resist peeking at the entries in the journal...and she finds a scintillating account of Rebecca' affair with an unnamed lover, a relationship drenched in ecstasy and wrapped in dark secrets. Obsessed with discovering Rebecca' destiny after the entries come to an abrupt end, Sara does more than observe the players in the woman's life....

    Story

    I am SUPER ANGRY. I would have given it 5 stars as the story was amazing however I have to agree with some of the other people who reviewed it and agree that nothing was answered not one single thing. Not giving us anything to look forward too. I am angry because at least with the FSoG series you get something in each book which builds to the next one and little by little the story line develops and unfolds, making you want to continue I am not sure if I will continue with this series as of yet. Or wait until it is completely finished. I have never read/listened to a story that leaves you with absolutely nothing to go on. Just leaves you hanging....I wish I would have used my credit on something else and waited until it was completed.

    The narrator was great!

    Advice : Wait until all three books are done before purchasing any that way you won't have to wait for months and months for rest.

    Wow. I have never written a review so quick that is how out of sorts I am right now!

    He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell's deepest fantasies. But nothing about this night---or this man---is what it seems. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and deadly. In that shattering instant she is thrust into a realm she never knew existed---a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite.

    I have read all the BDB series and while I enjoyed them in my opinion after reading/listening to just ONE TMD series it is FAR superior. Homosexual Vampires were odd to say the least in the BDB series. However I loved, loved, loved, this book I love the way she created the vampire males are born and the women are mortal and that people don't get bitten to change Awesome concept and very creative!! I found it more refreshing then the typical vampire story line. Lara has become one of my new favorite authors. She doesn't need to fill the book with tons of sex to have a great story. Just sprinkling it in to enhance the story.

    I think the narrator did a GREAT job with her performance she too is becoming one of my new favorites

    AWESOME JOB!!

    John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown. Taken in by The Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was-or his true identity. Xhex has long steeled herself against the attraction to John Matthew. Until fate intervenes and she discovers that love, like destiny, is inevitable.

    Where does Lover Mine rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It is one of my favorites in this series thus far. The author has a mind blowing way of telling a story. She writes both male and female characters beautifully It has been awe-inspiring to watch characters grow and evolve. Her catchy descriptions and cool way of having the characters speak and think keep you laughing and intrigued. Ex. Plastic fantastic (my favorite!),hammering the hootch, cry baby emo, chickin' out, running man impression, little lesser and lady gaga gig. Just to name a few!!


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Lash in this story it was awesome to see how he was deteriorating. And John Matthew for how he has been developing from the earlier books.


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

    He is an excellent narrator. Although it would be nice if they could use a woman for the female characters. It would make it even better.


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

    Lover of Mine


    Any additional comments?

    Yes! I look forward to the next books.

    Suffering a horrific childhood as the son of a Bloodletter in his father's war camp, Vishous pledges death to members of the vampire-hunting Lessening Society. Vishous knows no love. He feels no emotion. He lives only to oppose the slayers. But after suffering a mortal wound, a human surgeon named Dr. Jane Whitcomb tends to him. Her ministrations, however, extend beyond his physical injury - and before long her tender hand has awakened feelings of pleasure that Vishous never dreamed existed.

    What made the experience of listening to Lover Unbound, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 5 the most enjoyable?

    The way the layers of story just keeps unraveling. J.R, is an awesome writer she keeps the story moving and you never lose interest.


    What other book might you compare Lover Unbound, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 5 to and why?

    I can't compare it even though it is in a series each book is different.


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

    I think is perfect for the series. I would love to have a female narrator do the female parts and Jim continue with the men.

    Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard-living ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world-to engage in the turf war with the lessers. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. And if he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers.

    Listeners looking for a fresh twist on vampire tales need look no further than the erotically charged Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Mary Luce is dissatisfied with her life and her job. But when she is unwittingly thrust into the vampire dominion, everything changes. Falling under the protection of the Brotherhood's strongest member, Rhage, she soon finds herself drawn to his animalistic urges.
