"The Bar is set very high for J D Robb books"
Enjoyable, predictable, slow
I always enjoy more of the major characters although I do not enjoy the fighting between Eve and Roark. I like to wonder what's happening with the subplots of Roark's family in Ireland and would like to see Eve and Sommerset get a little closer even in their adversary ways. This story is not in my opinion as good as previous but as I said, the bar is set so high it is hard to top. At her worst Robb is better than most. As an aside, the narrator is the best in the business and makes all Robb's characters have their own individual and unique personalities. I eagerly await each and every book.
As above, I think Ericksen makes the books just that much better. She is an exceptional reader and she makes each character special. Love her
Not as much as many others. I have cried or laughed a lot in other books in the series but not in this one. Nothing very moving. I never felt close to any of the characters introduced in this book other than our familiar favorites.
There has never been an
"Not up to her usual"
Yes I have read several
yes I enjoyed others
Sure, I will give it a try
I liked the characters, mainly the main character although I would like to have seen her written as a little older than 14
This was so convoluted and disjointed I didn't enjoy listening, I kept at it hoping it would smooth out and things would come together but it was not entertaining though it was challenging. I ended it with a thumps down (In tribute to Roger Ebert).
"Really?????"
It would have been better to actually have a story amongst the kink. I like a good steamy novel but I don't like to see women accept being used and abused in ANY way. I hate thinking young women will read this and think it is acceptable. It is NOT. I hate thinking young men will read this and think it is acceptable. It is NOT. Not a good sexy and even kinky book since in my opinion it lacks an interesting story line. You want some steamy and graphic sex/love scenes? Listen to a J.D. Robb mystery, it has the elements of a good book with a fantastic reader. The reader in this book was totally a wrong choice. I think it's all hype and no substance.
Become a world traveler, s/he now has the money.
The "little girl" voice was distracting and even the reworking of the audio did little to improve. I would have used 2 readers, 1 mature woman and 1 man.
I think every chapter became a copy of the one previous with only one goal in mind.
I am an avid reader and Audible listener but I guess I took this personally and feel it is a serious misstep in the area we as readers/listeners are accepting. It is ugly, demeaning and frankly stupid. James at least benefits each time one of us uses the poor judgement to see what all the hype was about. Yea for the first amendment but we (including I) need to stop paying for this junk. Time is as valuable as money and this was a waste.
"The Song is You"
I enjoyed the book and especially the reader until the end. I expected a better ending and was dissapointed. Call me a romantic but I really was sorry to have invested so much time for it to end that way.
