To satisfy his late father’s wishes, hot and single billionaire Michael Conte must find a bride - someone who will fit into his traditional family back home in Italy - and fast, so his engaged sister will be allowed to wed. With no intention of being tied down, Michael "proposes" to fiery, free-spirited photographer Maggie Ryan: If she will play the part of his fiancée during her trip to Milan for a photo shoot, he will keep away from her married best friend, Alexa, and stop making Maggie nuts with their too-close-for-comfort flirtations. But once in Italy, sexual tension sparks the hottest no-strings-attached arrangement on any continent....

If you could sum up The Marriage Trap in three words, what would they be?

Nice Read, I enjoyed it as much as the first book. Predictable but cute. Has funny moments that I really enjoyed.

What other book might you compare The Marriage Trap to and why?

I liked it as much as Crossfires. They are all in the catagorys like 50 Shades of Gray.

Which scene was your favorite?

It was well rounded. The author makes a smooth transition from the Marriage Bargain to this book.

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

It was "quippy" enjoyable and serious.

Any additional comments?

I am not a big one to explain a lot about a book. I just have to say I get bored very easily on books and this writter/story is entertaining and I hope there are more to come.

Gideon Cross: As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction…my every desire…mine. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful…except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.…

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

Yes, very much so. The performance was excellent...Book is easy and enjoyable.
If you liked the first book in this series, this won't be disappointing.

What did you like best about this story?

The charactures remind me of other stories...50 shades. It was a uplifting romance novel with a twinge of darkness.

What about Jill Redfield’s performance did you like?

Excellent. Great vocals, great impressionism. Enjoyed Jill. Wouldn't hesitate to get another read by her.

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

Just enjoyed the whole story line.

It is a romance novel, it is exactly what you would expect. It's a good read.

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

I liked the story line, it was entertaining and humorous at times.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The charactures were all very well written.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The voice sounded WAY TO YOUNG! Also, you could constantly hear the microphone she was using move. No inflections in the voice...steady straight line reader.

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

Yes, it could be done, but time restaints didn't allow it.

Any additional comments?

I think this book would have been better for me in print. The reader took away a lot of the descriptive images away.

Would you listen to The Marriage Bargain again? Why?

It was entertaining, humorous at times and just a good read.

What other book might you compare The Marriage Bargain to and why?

As with all these "romantic" "love" "lust" they are predictable.

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

Coleen did a good job with the voice adjustments. At times, it was hard to know which voice she was trying to get to, but overall her performance was very well done. I liked her sarcastic tones, and quippy attitued in her voice. I wouldn't hesitate to have her read another book.

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

Amusing-

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book, it was fast paced-didn't drag. I liked the fact that Alexa was an "under dog" and worked for what she believed in.

"Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness… He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily…Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private wounds…and desires."

What did you love best about Bared to You?

It is an immitation of 50 shades and a ton of other racey novels, not a bad read ....AT ALL. I enjoyed it. The story line was as expected. You could predict the book's story line after the first chapter.

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

I've not listed to J. Redfield's other performances before, so I can't judge. I can tell you I wouldn't hesitate to choose her as a reader...she is quite good. I liked the fact she was constant on her tones and I liked her jovialness to her vocals.

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

I don't think it would make a good movie.

Any additional comments?

Enjoy-take it as it is. Don't expect a hugh story line it's just enough.

Would you consider the audio edition of Fifty Shades Darker to be better than the print version?

Audio reader well done! I enjoyed the book on Audio- in the car, at the farm, or just relaxing at home. I have kids and to leave this book around wouldn't be appropriate as a parent. Kids are kids. I like the privacy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fifty Shades Darker?

I enjoyed the 2nd book more than the first because it was more of a story line. Its heartfelt and an easy read. It does leave you wanting to find out more-the mysterious side of things are explained but not complete just yet.

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

Excellent Excellent....no hesitations on buying another book with her as the reader. Expressions, tones and articulations are great!

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

Some disturbing issues that can strike a mother in her heart. Its an awful thought of any child being abused.

Any additional comments?

Good easy read/listen. If you liked book 1, book 2 is better. I enjoyed it very much and am now listening to book 3.
