    Barrel racer Celia Lawson knows better than to tangle with bull rider Kyle Gilchrist. The sexy cowboy's love 'em and leave 'em ways have earned him a reputation on the rodeo circuit, and he's always seen her as his best friend's kid sister. But one wild tequila-fueled night later, and Celia wakes up to find out she's gotten herself hitched - to the one man she never should have married! When Celia insists on an annulment, Kyle has no good reason to say no - except he isn't ready to let go of his new bride. Especially not after their incredible wedding night.

    this was a cute book. The characters did everything i wanted them to do, which is rare in romance novels. I want the man to be a bit cave manish, but sweet and honest. I want the woman to be willing but not weak and just a little snarky. I enjoyed this book and will reread it in the future. I did not read the other books in the series and probably will not since they were discussed in this book.

    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    The narrator was boring. He had little to no inflection and his voice was SO wrong for the character Noel. I felt slightly dirty listening to him reading sex scenes. I got half way through the audiobook and realized I had no idea what was going on. I had tuned him out for over an hour. I was very disappointed that he was reading books 2 and 3.

    Dear Author,
    Let me introduce you to a thesaurus, see its a book the has many options for expressing words. Synonyms for "giggle" would be titter, laugh, chuckle...
    Sincerely,
    Concerned Reader

    Other than my upset that the author wrote about a 30 year old woman who can only express joy by giggling. This was a good story.

    No one is like Daemon Black. When he set out to prove his feelings for Katy, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't something she'll do again and now that they've made it through the rough patches, well, there's a lot of spontaneous combustion going on. But even he can't protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they loved. With help coming from the most unlikely source and Adam's death still lingering with those who loved him, friends will become the deadliest of enemies and the villains will no longer be clear.

    I have to say that this was a great book, but for some reason I thought it was the end of the series. I listened for the sweet wrap up to all the lose ends, but no, cliff hanger. More books to come later? when!?! How many more O minerals are there? This Series is interesting and could make a great movie some day. I do suggest it as a credit worthy read.

    I really enjoyed this story. The characters are well developed and introduced slowly. I have noticed a theme with this author's book, all of her main characters come from a tragic accident that happens in the teen years. This gets obnoxious while reading, I can only listen to "poor pitiful me" for so long. I am torn on purchasing the next book in the series.

    When 17-year-old Katy Swartz moved to West Virginia right before her senior year, she'd pretty much resigned herself to thick accents, dodgy Internet access, and a whole lot of boring, but then she spotted her hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up...until he opened his mouth. Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. It's hate at first sight, but when a stranger attacks her and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. The hot guy next door? Well, he's an alien.

    Nothing incites Marcus more than the primal hunger roused by his former fiancée, Elizabeth. It’s been years since she jilted him for another man, but that only means there’s a lot to catch up on, a lot to make up for, and that he’s going to enjoy every sweet moment.… The same drive and passion that sent her into another man’s arms is what brings Elizabeth back to Marcus. Her attraction to him is the one thing she fears, but she’s run out of options. Resisting is impossible. But does she have the courage to surrender everything?

    I am a listening addict, I have purchased 30 books so far this year and it's march. I love Sylvia Day's books and recommend them all the time. I read the reviews prior to my purchase and noticed that most of them say "can't get past the narrator." I have listened to and liked other narrations done by Justine, but this one just started grating on my nerves prior to the half way point. there is just something about her high class british attempt that makes me tune her out. The story played on for a few more chapters and then i realized that i had no idea what was going on. i plan on getting a refund.

    Thank goodness these people are wealthy and sex is free. I liked the story line, but there was so much sex being had or daydreamed about that i felt a little dirty. don't get me wrong, it was hot, but when do these people have time to work? good story, good narrator. If you need a turn-me-on book this is a good one. Would have been a five star if it didn't make me feel like a sex addict.

    This is the second book in the series and just like the first, it ends in an odd place. Yes that type of ending is successful in making me purchase the next book, but it is annoying. I enjoyed the story line and can't wait for book three to be released.

    Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well-respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure.

When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide.
