    Published almost 10 years ago, Guilty Pleasures marked the debut of a writer who was destined to grow from cult favorite to a major bestselling author. Now, for long-time Anita Blake aficionados and newfound fans, Guilty Pleasures makes its debut in downloadable audio

    Story

    I started this series with Narcissus in Chains in the audio version and love the old narrator. She pulled me into these books and made me fall in love with all the characters in them. I do like Jean-Claude’s French accent but HATE his voice. He does not sound sexy, the voice is too feminine it just does not do it for me at all. I MISS the old narrator. I was so looking forward to the first books coming out on audio but was disappointed when I found out who the narrator was going to be she ruined Skin Trade for me and I was hoping that would be the only book she would do. I will still get all of these books in audio because I have them in reg. books. I love the series as it gets farther along but I drive a lot so I need the audio version.
    BUT we need these first books to set the foundation to the books that come later. For all you new readers keep going the series is worth it further in. I read and listen to this series a few time a year. It is that good!!!!!

    With The Look of Love, best-selling author Bella Andre introduces you to a fun and emotional contemporary romance series about the Sullivan family. Because when a Sullivan bad boy falls... he falls hard. And it's forever. Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her must be too good to be true. Or is he?

    For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...

    If you could sum up Be Mine Tonight (The Brotherhood of Blood, Book 1) in three words, what would they be?

    exciting, emotional, and sensual...


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Prue.. She loved Chapel and when she realized and accepted how HE felt about himself and about being a vampire she continued to love him unconditionally....


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

    Never, but I will be getting the next book in the series....


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

    I don't think there was a particular moment but what moved me was how Chapel saw himself and even though her had 2 people who cared for him tell him how they saw him he just could not see it.... "It is easier to believe the ugly things people say about you then the beautiful things that are true"


    Any additional comments?

    At first I really couldn't get into this book. The first half was just ok and I almost gave up but just couldn't because of the reviews that this book got I knew that I was missing something... Then the 2nd part of the book picked up and carried me away I connected emotionally with Chapel and Prue.... This turned out to be a great book for me because I love historical and paranormal romance and this had them both....

    Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past-one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life.

    What made the experience of listening to Tangle of Need the most enjoyable?

    Lots of changes in the Psy/Changeling series... I love that we got to see more of the day to day lives and the building of relationship foundations in the Snow Dancer pack I just Love Love Hawk and Sienna!!! Riaz and Adria story was good I like the emotional pull it had on me I connected with Adria and that surprised me because in Kos I did not like her at all..... I have very mixed feeling about Riaz and Lezette... I am excited about Alice and what we will discover about her.... But the way the book ended and the Major Cliff Hanger!!!! Wow now that was enough to make m scream...lol


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I love Hawk, I have since the first book but now that we are deeper in the series I am very curious about Vasick.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Ming and Sienna


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

    I wanted to gobble it up all in one bite but knowing I have a full year to wait for the next book I drug it out for 3 days....


    Any additional comments?

    Can't wait for the next book.. I am hoping that because of that HUGE cliff hanger NS won't make us wait forever for the next book!!!

    The vampires of Asheville, North Carolina, want to establish their own clan, but since they owe loyalty to the Master Vampire of New Orleans, they must work out the terms with him. To come up with an equitable solution, he sends an envoy with the best bodyguard blood money can buy: skinwalker Jane Yellowrock. But when a group of local campers are attacked by something fanged, Jane goes from escort to investigator. Is it a rogue-vampire, shapechanger, or witch? Or something else magical?

    What made the experience of listening to Raven Cursed the most enjoyable?

    I really love this series I like that when beast is in control that it is beast that speaks....I like haw Jane has grown in some areas ( Angie baby & Family) but frustrated in how she has not in others (Ricky Bo). I love that the Grindie turns out to be female and has a litter. I think the fight between Jane and the Natural Vamp that gets free of his cage is a major kick ass fight scene. I love how Jane shares her Guardian Angle with Angie Baby because she is her God Mother and this is revealed... And now I wounder where Jane will go from here.....


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Raven Cursed?

    When Jane calls to beast is she is not there, and Jane is very afraid that now she is truly alone not only does she not have any family but now she has lost beast and has not been without her for over 100 years.

    He's a devil of an angel. She's an angel of a demon. Angels and demons don't mix. Azazel should have extinguished the deadly Lilith when he had the chance. Now, faced with a prophecy that will force him to betray the memory of his one true love and wed the Demon Queen, he cannot end her life until she leads him to Lucifer. Finding the First is the Fallen's only hope for protecting mankind from Uriel's destruction, but Azazel knows that ignoring his simmering desire for the Lilith will be almost as impossible.

    This series is emotional torture. In the second book of this series once again the Hero is so emotionally cruel to the Heroin and then to top it off what a brutal betrayal. For paranormal romance both the 1st and 2nd books in this series has emotionally ripped my heart out. I love the story and the series but it really sucks when your walking through a store with your head plugged in and you have tears running down your face and people look at you like you are nuts. Man I can’t wait for the next book in the series Michael’s book.

    I was so looking forward to this series it sounded great BUT… The narrator is so bad he tries to use different (bad) voices for each person, then the back and forth between the formal speech and the street slang is so off putting I think if the just didn’t randomly go into the formal speech then it would mesh fine with the street slang but just pop in because someone says something that they think is important is just off putting. I could only get 2 hours into this book before I had to shut it off or stomp my mp3 player to death. WASTE of my CREDIT!!!

    She was just an ordinary mortal...until death catapulted her into a seductive world she never imagined. "You're dead" is so not what Allie Watson wants to hear. Unfortunately, it explains a lot. Like the dark, angelically handsome man who ferried her to this strange, hidden land. The last thing she remembers is stepping off a curb in front of a cross-town bus. Now she's surrounded by gorgeous fallen angels with an unfortunate taste for blood---and they really don't want her around. Not exactly how she pictured heaven.

    The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby. Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners.

    I have watched this movie several times and have always love the story. I was in a historical mood when I saw that this and purchased it without a thought, knowing I would love it. After 23 minutes of listening to this awful narrator I went back to Audible and to the other Pride and Prejudice books and found a narrator that I enjoyed and purchased this book for a second time. This will teach me not to purchase a book without listening to the narrator sample first. It was like listing to someone run their nails up and down a chalkboard that had voice. Makes me cringe even now to think about it.
