    What made the experience of listening to A Game of Chance the most enjoyable?

    Getting to know Chance. He is sure he isn't cut out for love, but then he just hadn't met the right woman.


    What other book might you compare A Game of Chance to and why?

    Mackenzie's Pleasure. Zane and Chance are a lot a like in being all male but sensitive to the female and having the desire to protect the woman.


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

    She has a great voice and I liked her voice for all of the characters. Her voice expressions are right on.


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

    You thought you knew yourself, but then the unexpected happened . . . love.

    For Seattle detective Joanne Walker, spring is about new beginnings. She’s mastered her shamanic abilities (mostly), survived a cannibalistic serial killer (barely) and now she’s facing the biggest challenge of her career—attending a dance concert with her sexy boss, Captain Michael Morrison. But when the performance—billed as transformative—actually changes her into a coyote, she and Morrison have bigger things to deal with.

    Story

    I am not usually into this kind of book, but I found it interesting and entertaining. I like the characters. The only thing this author does that personally I don't like is spend too much time telling the reader what the character is thinking instead of conversation. I like more conversation. But all and all it was worth the credit and I might listen to another book in the series.

    Story

    I read all of the other reviews before deciding to finish the series. At first I thought they were wrong, but as the story continued I just lost interest. Too much going on, doesn't stay with the other two books enough and like many others said, it needed more of Valek. Yelena kind of gets on my nerves in this book. Half of the middle of the book should have been skipped, got right to the point of the last part and it would have been better.

    Horse whisperer Shane Stryker is done with passion. This time around, he’s determined to meet someone who will be content with the quiet life of a rancher’s wife. And the fiery, pint-size redhead who dazzles him at the local bar definitely does not fit the bill. Small-town librarian Annabelle Weiss has always seen herself as more of a sweetheart than a siren, so she can’t understand why Shane keeps pushing her away. Shane has formed the totally wrong impression of her but only he can help her.

    I like Shane and Annabelle. The story is somewhat typical, but put it with the other wonderful Stryker family and of course all of the Fool's Gold family and you have a winner.

    This was a totally different kind of book for me. I wasn't for sure if I would like it but the reviews were good so I went for it. My husband & I both liked it. We like the characters, the plots and the writing style of the author. The book moves with ease and keeps you wanting more. Definately worth the credit. I am going on for the 2nd & 3rd book in this series.

    Is there anything sweeter than a first love? Don't ask Claire Keyes. The 28-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family - which is just part of the reason she hasn't seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years.

    Story

    A good story about sisters trying to reconnect after having very different lives and a lot of misunderstandings. A good give and take and having the courage to look at their life situations, having the courage to see the other person's point of view and yet accept their own life and what it was and what it is now. Oh, don't forget the man and his daughter and the love that develops with one of the sisters. Enjoy, light hearted and enjoyable. Therese Plummer is one of my favorite narrators.

    I feel like these people are family. I love the relationship Robyn Carr creates. I am happy she finally let us meet the youngest Riordan brother "Patty". You can't help but love those Riordan boys and how they get into each others business. Meeting more of Jack's family was good. What a sweet niece and Jack - well what can you say, wish I had someone like Jack. Another great book.

    She was terrifyingly alone on a Texas highway, about to deliver her first child, when a rugged stranger in a pickup truck stopped to help her. Leigh Bransom had lost her husband eight months before when he was tragically killed on the job. Now a fateful meeting on a lonesome highway brought a new man into her life - one with secrets and the power to make her lonely once again.

    I grew up in Texas so I truly appreciate Sandra Brown's stories that take place is West Texas. The story is good. I liked all of the characters, but I wish some times that Sandra wouldn't repeat thoughts so much. Joyce Bean has such a way of bringing characters alive.

    If you could sum up A Wrongful Death in three words, what would they be?

    A surprise ending


    What did you like best about this story?

    How the murder was investigated


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

    Yes. Carrington Macduffie is great. One of my favorite readers. I have actually looked her up to see what other books she has read. I have listened to more that 600 books in the past 5 years.


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

    no. I listen to books off and on all day.


    Any additional comments?

    I hope that Kate Wilhelm comes out with a new book soon.
