Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling novelist Nora Roberts captivates millions of fans with her provocative blend of scorching passion and chilling suspense. With Carnal Innocence, she creates a gripping tale of murder, infatuation, and true love in a small southern town. After beautiful concert violinist Caroline Waverly breaks up with her conductor and lover Luis, she escapes to her late grandmother’s home in Innocence, Mississippi. Instead of peace and tranquility, however, she finds the town torn with suspicion over two brutal murders. When she discovers a third victim in the murky waters behind her house, she turns to her dangerously handsome neighbor, Tucker Longstreet, for protection. But Tucker has a reputation for breaking hearts - even worse, the police count him their number one suspect.

You’ll want to lean back in your easy chair and let Nora Robert’s steamy prose and Tom Stechschulte’s stirring interpretation transport you to Innocence where the nights are filled with promise and secrets are hard to keep.

Gripping Story!

This book kept my interest from the beginning and held it to the end. I could not figure out who the serial killer was even though there was a small pool to choose from. Casual Innocence is a good read that you won't regret purchasing.

Carnal Wow

Would you listen to Carnal Innocence again? Why?

It was 17 hours long, so I would need a good reason to listen to it again, however if that reason (like a long plane ride with zero internet access so that I could just buy another book) ever happened I totally would listen to this story again! The voice actor and the story were soooo good and well woven that it was a pleasure to listen to!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tucker Longstreet! He is definitely more then meets the eye.

Which character – as performed by Tom Stechschulte – was your favorite?

Tom Stechschulte did a great job with all the characters!

If you could rename Carnal Innocence, what would you call it?

Sweetwater

Any additional comments?

I highly reccommend this story to anyone who likes mystery or romance or both. Two thumbs up.

Delightful, Surprising!

Surprisingly delightful! ... that's what this book is!
I picked it out of my Romance package months ago and it has been sitting in my library every since, then when I didn't have any credits I chose this to listen to I'm only sorry it took me so long! All of the characters are so real and believable! I didn't want this story to end! The characters became part of my life and now I'm sorry the story is over. Don't let my use of the word ''Delightful'' fool you though, this book is FULL of twists and turns and surprising outcomes!
