    When the Lusitania sank, more than one 1,000 people died. One passenger, however, survived to become a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief but keeping a small silver statue that would become a family heirloom to future generations. Now, nearly a century later, that heirloom, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched away from the Sullivans.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Sure, there are a few sexy scenes that a 'vanilla' romance reader might find offensive.


    What other book might you compare Three Fates to and why?

    It is better than the 'typical' Nora Roberts book. It was a more complex plot and enjoyable action along with romance (or 3 romances!)


    What about Bernadette Quigley’s performance did you like?

    It was excellent...I adore the Irish accents!


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

    No, I don't have extreme reactions. It was fun, fast paced with a good mystery and romances all in one.


    Any additional comments?

    Though it checked back to a historical event this was NOT a historical romance...(I don't care for historical romances.)

    Johanna Walker is used to taking charge. But she’s about to meet someone who will make her lose control....

    It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may - or may not - fly. But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable....

    Story
    Where does Down London Road rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It is near the top of over 100+ books I've downloaded from Audible. There is a great, realistic storyline with fabulous sexual tension (and scenes) throughout.


    What other book might you compare Down London Road to and why?

    On Dublin Street-it is the beginning book of the series. While each of these can stand alone, it is fun to see friends from Dublin Street show up in this book & vice versa. I cannot wait for the next book!


    What about Elle Newlands’s performance did you like?

    I LOVE the accents! Her portrayal of male characters (especially Cameron MacCabe) is especially noteworthy as I would imagine it would be more of a challenge for a female narrator.


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

    The aftermath of Johanna's meeting with her father. The intensity between ALL of the characters involved had me on edge.


    Any additional comments?

    I assume there will be at least one more book with this cast, hopefully MANY more. Write, Samantha, write! ;)

    NOTE: Strong language and sexual content-not for the faint of heart.

    It's been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn't in the cards just yet.... Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin's past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd's best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed - and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name.

    What made the experience of listening to Laid Bare the most enjoyable?

    The fantastic sex was fabulous however the back story was heart-pulling as well.


    What other book might you compare Laid Bare to and why?

    I've recently listened to 'Fever' and would say it compares


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Yes, although Lucy Rivers portrayal of the men was lacking.


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

    Yes, yes, yes.


    Any additional comments?

    As always: Strong language and sexual situations...not a light romance.

    Jace Crestwell, Ash McIntyre, and Gabe Hamilton have been best friends and successful business partners for years. They’re powerful, they’re imposing, they’re irresistibly sexy, and Jace and Ash share everything - including their women. When they meet Bethany, Jace begins to feel things he’s never experienced before: jealousy and a powerful obsession that threatens him, overwhelms him - and excites him beyond control. Jace isn’t sharing Bethany - with anyone. He’s determined to be the only man in her life, and it’s jeopardizing a lifelong friendship with Ash.

    What was one of the most memorable moments of Fever?

    The introduction and execution of the first main scene....WOW!


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Sure, though Adam Paul could be a bit more animated and make each characters voice a bit different.

    Looking forward to the third in this trilogy.

    When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires. Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s 14 years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

    Would you listen to Rush again? Why?

    Yes, it is a hot, sexy read.


    What did you like best about this story?

    It isn't more than it claims to be. This is not a deep, challenging listen. The characters are not complex...if you are looking for a superficial read that is mostly about sex-this is it.


    What aspect of Adam Paul’s performance would you have changed?

    He was a bit stoic. There wasn't a lot of feeling behind his character portrayal.


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

    The scene in Paris...it was troubling & shows a realistic depiction of a poor choice by the dominant character getting out of control. Too often in these type of stories it seems there are no errors on the part of the strong male characters.

    This scene shows the consequences and fall out (the female is unrealistically forgiving-in my opinion) that continues in the aftermath.

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

    This was a bit 'out there' as far as plot (in my opinion)-the whole sharing aspect-it is fiction. However the plot of the back/other story was suspenseful and held my interest.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The action of Holly trying to escape her abusive husband and the protectiveness of the Colter men.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Without giving away the ending-the search for Holly after her kidnapping.


    Do you think Colters' Woman needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No, the ends were all 'tied up' and no questions left unanswered.

    Would you recommend Getting Lucky to your friends? Why or why not?

    Nope, it just did not hold my interest. It was not a 'page turner' & with 4 hours left I just kept checking on how much time was left.


    Which character – as performed by Madison Vaughn – was your favorite?

    She did a great job with all the characters


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Getting Lucky?

    It seems there was only one sequence for the bedroom scenes.


    Any additional comments?

    I really liked 'Obsession' as it was a more suspenseful book. I may read 'Control' as the description sounds interesting.

    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.

    What other book might you compare One Night Rodeo to and why?

    Any of the others in the series.


    Which character – as performed by Scarlet Chase – was your favorite?

    Scarlet Chase is a great narrator - she gave each character his/her own voice & personality.

    Would you try another book from Suzanne Brockmann and/or Michael Holland?

    Yes, however I cannot recommend this book.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    I'll probably take a break from the Troubleshooter series but I will finish eventually.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Michael Holland?

    Sure, he was fine.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from All Through the Night?

    I'd cut the whole book from the series. There was 20 minutes of 'action' (seriously) and the rest of the book was about the prelude to Jules & Robin's wedding. I've never heard such whining and insecurity in a couple - real or imaginary...with hero Sam [from previous books] acting as therapist.

    This was 8 hours of [I assume] Brockmann's views on gay marriage, and political views on war, torture, etc.


    Any additional comments?

    I LOVE The Troubleshooters series and would recommend any of the previous books for action, adventure and romance.

    The West was not so wild for Janie Fitzhugh. Living with her rancher husband, Abe Lawson, in rural Wyoming nearly broke her spirit, so she left. But eight years later, she returns to Muddy Gap to take a job at a new resort. When an unexpected danger arises, Abe seizes the chance to protect Janie and prove he's a changed man. Janie's employer at the Split Rock Ranch and Resort, Renner Jackson, has gotten himself tangled up in a devil's bargain trying to finish the construction. His new partner's daughter, Tierney Pratt, is a spoiled daddy's girl and off-limits-no matter how drop-dead gorgeous she is.

    That is tough, I admire the strong men as they 'take care' of their women. However, Tierany's character-getting to know her and watching her evolution.

    She is a great narrator and been fantastic throughout the series

    The whole series is hot and there are actually great stories to go along with the passionate scenes.
