Critic reviews

"Snappy dialogue, dizzying romance, scorching hot sex, and realistic observations about life on tour make this a winner." ( Publishers Weekly)

LOVED....LOVED....LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

Any additional comments?

Unlike the majority of the reviews you read.....this is my first book I have listen too in the series. I absolutely loved it because I am into M/M, M/F, and M/F/M. The performer was amazing and the story line was good. The beginning took a minute to develop but overall a very nice listen.

Great book but why was the series out of order

I am now listening to Wicked Beat, which just came out and am disappointed it is not in reading order. Audible finally has the series in order but that does me no good now that I have already listened to them out of order. Just had to Vent.
Double Time is my favorite in the series, they are all great books, Would have been better if Audible had them in reading order to begin with. The Narrator is one of the best I have heard, and I have Listened to 1000's of Audio books, which says a lot. I really suck at writing reviews so I Do Not often write them but I had to say something about the reading order Audible Messed up and made me listen out of order which is very confusing.

What an Oil Change

Would you listen to Double Time again? Why?

I own way too many stories yet to be listened to so, it will be in a library of favorites.
This had a story outline that was very different and kept your attention. Great use of author's imagination.

What did you like best about this story?

lots of new information or imagination used in writing this story. demonstration of lots of different emotions, well done

Would you listen to another book narrated by Justine O. Keef?

Her male voice is good so her female voice is just Ok. Her female voice sounds like she is much older than the female characters she is reading. This series is good for her voice. It would depend on the story. If the story is male dominate, then yes. Female focus stories, no.

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

yes. well done for this type of genre. Make no mistake, this is strong erotica. If you do not like male bi-sexual stories, then this is not for you.

Any additional comments?

Please provide Eric's story as he is just so funny and adds to the band full characters.
Justine O Keef should be the reader.

Great Series!!

Loved these books!! Olivia was not afraid for her characters to have different sexual appetites and it was very refreshing. I am definitely going to look for more of her books!

hot as sin

love it!!! the interaction reminds me thatblove sometimes is hard, but it is worth the struggle.

Very good addition to the series :D

4 stars

This was a very good story. I liked Trey and Reagan very much. Ethan worked for the story but his actions had me not liking him as well as the other 2. The story itself was a very good one.

Reagan is a guitarist. She learned to play guitar only 3 years before but is already a great player. She was raised by her father, who's into music and had her involved with music from a young age but she played the Cello and always played classical music. He father doesn't approve of her interest in rock music. An Ex band member convinced her to enter a contest to become the rhythm guitar player for the famous rock band, Exodus End, but she never thought she had a chance. She's really surprised that she gets in to audition in the finals for the contest.

Trey is the rhythm guitarist for the rock band, Sinners. He's been in love with his BFF, the other guitarist in the band, Brian (the hero from book #1, Backstage Pass) for almost 20 years. Brian didn't return his feelings and Trey has submerged himself in easy sex (with members of both sexes) and has never been interested in a relationship with anyone else. Since Brian got married, Trey knows he has no chance and is trying to get over his feelings for Brian.

Ethan is an ex cop who is now a bodyguard. He loved being a cop but was let go due to his tendency to get overly physical with the bad guys...especially ones that victimize defenseless people. Ethan is bisexual and used to date Reagan. Unfortunately, He couldn't control his impulses and ended up bringing another guy back to their apartment where Reagan caught him cheating on her and broke up with him. They're still roommates and BFFs though and Ethan uses that position to chase off other men because he still wants Reagan (and he's a selfish jerk).

Trey is the younger brother of the lead guitarist, Dare, of the band, Exodus End. Trey and Brian are back in LA (from their tour) for just a day due to Brian and Mira's baby being born. After the delivery, Trey goes over to Dare's house because Exodus End is listening to the possibilities for the rythym guitar spot. They're doing this blind, not having seen the guitarists that were auditioning and just going off their music. Once the in-person auditions start (which are still being done blind with the person auditioning in different room from the band), Trey is surprised to hear a guitarist that sounds just like Brian. He thinks that Dare is messing with him and goes into the audition room expecting to see Brian and instead finds himself confronted with a beautiful woman, Reagan. Since Brian is considered one of the best guitarists out there and Reagan sounds enough like him for Trey to mistake her playing for Brian's, obviously Exodus End decides that Reagan is the best option for their open spot. Reagan is thrilled and tries not to be all fangirl about her big chance (and her new band). Trey is very attracted to Reagan and feels an instant connection with her that he hasn't felt since he met Brian almost 20 years before. Trey decides to pursue Reagan and when she doesn't instantly fall into bed with him he's alright with that. A joke about them being boyfriend and girlfriend turns more serious and after they spend the day together they decide there's something between them and decide to give a relationship between them a chance.

Because of her being a woman on the tour, the band wants Reagan to have her own body guard. She offers Ethan the job and he accepts but isn't too thrilled when Reagan brings Trey home with her. One reason is because he still wants Reagan for himself and secondly because as soon as he meets Trey, Ethan wants him and is sure that Trey must be bi as well. Reagan tells Trey about what split up her and Ethan so it makes him nervous about telling her that he's bi (even though he's sworn off men) so he holds off on that. Reagan ends up going on tour with Sinners while Exodus End is on break in order to get used to the touring lifestyle. Things go pretty well between Reagan and Trey but he does have some difficulty in denying his other sexual needs, especially when Ethan decides he's going to push things. This part made me so proud of Trey that I could have kissed him!!! Ethan proved his selfishness and inability to think of others while Trey showed that he has honor and obviously cares very much for Reagan. Obviously, Trey's preferences come out and Reagan is open to what Trey needs which eventually brings things to the point where Ethan is included, becoming a threesome. Things aren't completely smooth between the trio but once they agree to come together they do pretty well at working things out. There are some other issues that have to be dealt with in the story, a stalker making threats against Reagan and her dealing with the new job and the pressures having to do with that. Things work out though and Trey, Reagan and Ethan end the story starting their HEA as a threesome.

This was a very enjoyable story. I really liked the relationship between Reagan and Trey, they worked well together. Ethan worked as part of the threesome but because of his selfish actions I had a hard time liking him on his own. Overall, it was a very good story and I was happy to see the last of the Sinners band members get his happy ending. I'd recommend this story. :)

Amazing!

Olivia Cunning has done it once again!! I loved this book. Loved the whole series. I am just sorry to see it come to an end.

fabulous

awesome, terrific. out standing. love the story as well as the characters in this book .

Really good

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

Yes....the Sinners series is surprising good. I usually listen to books by Nora Roberts but was looking for something a bit edgier and came across this series. These books are harder as in the language but at the same time very sweet. The characters have depth without and are easy to love. Double Time was my least favorite of the series because of the exaggerated sex scenes but Trey's relationship is complicated and the longer scenes somewhat necessary.

What other book might you compare Double Time to and why?

Not sure

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance was good but not great. The sex scenes were awkward....not just in this book but through the entire series.

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

I loved the dynamics between Trey and his brother.

Any additional comments?

The author needs to write faster because I am really looking forward to reading about Eric. I am equally excited to see what is to come if Exodus End. The Sinners website is cool but needs to be updated.

Naughty & Fun!

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

I liked all the sinners on tour books but this gave them an even extra edge that was like the cherry on the pie. Love the character and glad he finally had his happy ending.
