    Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, Carolyn is gaining an - um - intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor.

    Known for making up his own rules of right and wrong, Texas Ranger Sam "Wildcard" MacGregor takes what he wants when he wants it, especially when it comes to women. But seduction is the last thing on his mind the moment he stumbles across an Hispanic beauty crouching in fear beside a burned-out wagon.

    I know some of the reviews have not been so nice on the male narrator but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing this sexy voice that seems to match with Sams strong personality. I must admit it was slow starting but ended with a bang. Loved this one. will listen again once I finish the series. I skipped Tucker's story because of the reviews and the criticism of the Writing involving leading lady's overuse of thee and thou. I believe the reviews that it would get irritating quickly and id hate to waste a credit :). i May circle back to it once I finish all available on audible until a new one comes out. I'm reading Ms McCarty's Promise series on my Kindle and love those as well!

    Award-winning and best-selling author Beverly Jenkins delivers another satisfying and deeply emotional historical romance set during the Revolutionary War. Jenkins continues to win readers with her adventurous tales - where love and high stakes go hand in hand.

    Read this book and loved it. Kevin Free did a fair job as narrator but I must admit I love Thomas Penny as the narrator of Ms Jenkins books. As I have read every book Ms Jenkins has written and then listen to them as they become available on Audible I know the women to be strong independent minded women. Mr Free's narration in female voices sound weak and meek. Great job Ms Jenkins well written!

    Lilly Yazhi knows all she needs to know about Clay Tahoma. Sure, he’s got a certain appeal befitting his Navajo roots, but she’s not falling for Clay’s silent, “earthy” attractiveness. She certainly won’t make the same mistake as Clay’s ex-wife. Only trouble is, her heart and mind have committed to different resolves.

    Story

    At first excited to read this author. This will be my first and only book by Ms. Anderson. this particular story is endless riding in circles to escape ruthless killers but somehow the outlaws are always still so close. OMG, I thought this book would never end. So boring. Sorry but it's the truth. Took me several weeks to finish. I would only listen after I finish another book until I just had to finish so I wouldn't have to push play again. The story in itself could have been told in one week not 6 endless riding in circles weeks. The narrator was okay. Some good moral messages which I did enjoy about loss and faith.

    She was the most irresistible treasure of all.... Dominic LeVeq, the most notorious privateer ever to command the high seas, has just captured a coveted prize: a British frigate. On a dangerous mission against the Crown, Dominic should be thinking only of his ship's safety. But the rebel captain is utterly entranced by Clare Sullivan, the stunning slave on board. Consumed by desire, desperate to have her, Dominic offers Clare her freedom in exchange for a forbidden night in his bed - a night he assures her will be most pleasureable.

    This was my first Amish based romance book. The reader did a great job. However the lead character was such in a dark place it made me sort of depressed and hoping to rush toward the happy ending. Marian wasn't so Merry until the very end. I think I'll pass on other books by is author. It was well written & I enjoyed learning about the Amish ways.

    First comes love, then comes marriage...At least, that was Gracie's plan at the ripe old age of 14. She loved 18-year-old heartthrob Riley with a desperation that made her a town legend. Even now that she's all grown up, the locals in sleepy Los Lobos won't let her forget her youthful crush. And how can she, when she's face-to-face with Riley at every turn? The one-time bad boy has come back to town seeking respectability - but the sparks that fly between them are anything but respectable!

    Tavern manager Leah Barnett can scarcely believe the path that destiny has chosen for her. Travelling from Boston to Colorado, Leah has come to face Ryder Damien, the son of her mother's recently deceased lover. Ryder, an angry, ruggedly sexy man, is incensed that this woman will inherit his father's fortune-even if he hadn't seen the man in 30 years. But Leah's charms are many, and soon anger is the last thing in Ryder's heart.
