Instead of saying "I do" to Mr. Irresistible, Lucy Jorik hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle with a rough looking, bad-tempered stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. While the world searches for her, Lucy must search for herself, and she quickly realizes that her customary good manners are no defense against a man who's raised rudeness to an art form. Lucy needs to toughen up - and fast. Her great escape takes her to his rambling beach house on a Great Lakes island. Here, she hopes to find a new direction...and to unlock the secrets of this man who knows so much about her.

In exchange for years of faithful service, Hyatt will receive both land - and lady - of De La Noye in Acquitane. When Hyatt and his men attack, both lord and castle fall, but the young and newly widowed Aurelie is not so easily conquered. Impassioned by the subjugation of her people, Aurelie pledges to forever honor her late husband. She may be condemned to marry the English bastard, but her heart will never yield!

Story

What made the experience of listening to By Right of Arms the most enjoyable?

Where to start. First any story needs a good nay grear narrator who can do women as well as men voices. Nicola Barber is fanstastic!! I love Elizabeth Hoyt's books, but that narrator Anne Flosnik and her name escapes me, ruins the story, This books was soooo good and a great story line to boot! I loved the characters and spirit of the female lead. I am now a Robin Carr fan, and will seek out her other works. I just hope Nicola Barber is narrating..

Who was your favorite character and why?

Auralie of, course, burdened with an compromised a consumed first husband, and her values of marriage were stupendous.

Which scene was your favorite?

Too many to count, of of them....

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

The birth of the twins

Any additional comments?

I just loved this book, Author, and Narrator.. ..

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Look, I love Nora Roberts, but her character ""LIz" ala "Abilgail, in small town USA
with a country sheriff, was just to much. It was a struggle trying to get through the story

Would you be willing to try another book from Nora Roberts? Why or why not?

yeah, I'll screen it better though

How could the performance have been better?

too much monotone, science and romance don't mix. Abigail got on my nerves

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Nah

Any additional comments?

Yeck. I'm still getting through it after a week.....usually I'm done with the book in two days..

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.…

A fabulous lost Amazon city once inhabited by women warriors and containing a rare red diamond: it sounded like myth, but archeologist Jillian Sherwood believed it was real, and she was willing to put up with anything to find it - even Ben Lewis. Ruffian, knock-about, and number one river guide in Brazil, Ben was all man - over six feet of rock-hard muscles that rippled under his khakis, with lazy blue eyes that taunted her from his tanned face.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It started out promising.....then downhill. To be fair, I couldn't even finish the book. When What'shisname, was named for wanting sex right off the bat, The die was cast.

To make it better, Just lead up to the guy being a womanizer. Sorry, I cant' even remember the characters except she is the daughter of a archeologist, and he was a guide through the amazon. She knows she wants him but all the cat and mouse love scenes got on my nerves. I may go back to the book , but when? I don't know.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Sylvia Day's books. Now, I love Linda Howard but I don't know what's happening to her Stories.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was ok

What character would you cut from Heart of Fire?

The lead guy and girl

Any additional comments?

Linda? Finish your series of Blood born and get a grip

"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."

"Do her" that's when the fun began.

I only have a few favorite narrator I like to listen

The abuse Ava suffered.

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. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption. 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.

It was whispered all through London society that he was a murderer, that he'd spent his youth in an asylum and was not to be trusted - especially with a lady. Any woman caught in his presence was immediately ruined. Yet Beth found herself inexorably drawn to the Scottish lord whose hint of a brogue wrapped around her like silk and whose touch could draw her into a world of ecstasy.

Daisy Minor is bored. Worse than that, she's boring. A plain, small-town librarian, she's got a wardrobe as sexy as a dictionary and hasn't been on a date in years. She's never even had a lukewarm love affair, let alone a hot one. So when she wakes up on her 34th birthday and wonders how it is that she still lives with her widowed mom and spinster aunt while her friends have all gotten married and started families, she decides it's time to get a life - and a sex life.
