Weak on motivations. Too much telling no showing.

But good for emotional appeal and sensuality. It may fit your mood.

This was supposed to be romantic suspense. But the suspense was off stage. It was told more than shown. For example. Barringer (the main bad guy) was too conveniently all knowing. Finn was kidnaped and held for three years in the South American mountains. How would Barringer know that Finn would escape now and go to specific towns? How did he know Finn was planning to stay a few days in a specific country house? How would Barringer know Finn believed Madsen was responsible for his kidnaping and was planning to kill Madsen. The truth was Thomason was responsible. Barringer also changed his motivations midstream which did not make sense. He wanted to kill one guy. Then later decided to forget that and kill another just because the other avoided being captured by his men. Then we have Finn. Several times we are told Finn killed bad guys but we did not see the action (the movements, the feelings, the dialogue, how it happened).

Ok so don’t expect well thought out motivations and suspense. But the overall plot was good. There is more pondering than normal, but the author does pondering well.

The best parts of this book are two sex scenes. Boy does this author know how to write sex scenes. They are full of passion and sensuality. I loved them. Finn was so sexy and dreamy. And the narrator definitely added to the allure.

pure trash - housewife porn

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

bored housewife

What could Anne Stuart have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

never plan on reading any of her books again

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

the repetitive references to sex was more than any story or intrigue to follow

Any additional comments?

story was terrible - I listen for a couple of hours but it was about the guy getting laid - waste of credit!

Too much romance and very little action

I was very disappointed with this book, I really enjoyed the Ice series but this one, last one for me, was boring. When I start running errands and answer calls and talking with other people while I am listening to a book; i know I made a bad choice. The narrator was so slow and boring that a few times actually put me to sleep. Anyway, this is not a book for me, When I buy action books, I am hoping to actually get action, not romance...

Hmmm..

Any additional comments?

There are a lot of complaints about the bad language and some about the constant thoughts of sex by Finn but at 46% I can't complain about either of those things, I just find the book too boring to go on.
Sorry..

As to the narrator: Ms. Sands was the only thing that kept me interested in the 46%. She did a great job on the voices- male and female.
