Critic reviews

"Clare's impressive novel is rife with gripping suspense, secrets masterfully revealed, and characters in whom [fans] can become emotionally invested." ( Romantic Times)

I’m enjoying this series!

Ok, the way that everything works out, in the end, is totally unrealistic. So what! This is fiction and its romance, we want a HEA. If you want reality, read non- fiction.

I enjoyed the action, mystery and romance, of this novel. I also always love second chance love. So this was a no brained, to me. Add it to your library, you won’t be disappointed!

CRAZY GOOD!!

I'm so in love with this series. If you don't have it, get it! This story literally made my heart wrench and soar throughout. I almost cried while listening on the way to work! The storyline, the characters are just soooooo awesome. I saw one review that said, sometimes the first book in a series really captures you but the subsequent books leave something to be desired. Well, this series is SO not like that, each book continues to get better. There's action, love, and a great twist that makes you fall in love with the main characters even more. Superbly written and narrated, bravo!

Nail biting excitement till the end.

it was a great book, I loved it. Can't wait to start next book in series.

Absolutely loved it except...

STORY (romance) - I have loved all three books in this series so far. The romances are HOT and the background stories are really, really good! In this story Mark and Sophie share a special night in high school, then he leaves to serve his Country in Afghanistan. They happen to meet again 12 years later -- I'm really condensing here -- and they quickly find themselves on the run. There are some bad guys after them, and they're also fugitives from the law.

The story is complex and exciting. Mark and Sophie sizzle, which leads me to my only real complaint about this story. I had to move the narration speed up to 2X a couple times to get through the sex scenes. I wouldn't say there's too much sex (I'd guess maybe 15 minutes in the whole book) but it was beyond my personal limits and I was anxious to jump past the passion and get back to the story. Otherwise, I loved the characters, their plight and the ending!! It's really a good book.

PERFORMANCE - As far as I'm concerned, the only person who should ever narrate a romance is Kaleo Griffith. Wouldn't you much rather hear a young, sexy man's voice than a woman reading a romance? His voice is husky and sensitive. Perfection!

OVERALL (Actual overall rating 4.5) - The books in this series stand alone. There is character development running through the series, but it's not important enough to really worry about listening to the books in order. There's quite a bit of profanity, explicit sex, and the topic of rape is addressed multiple times. There's some violence, but not a lot and it's not the gory kind. I'd say this is a must-read for adult females who like hot romances.

BEST SO FAR !!! Loved Book 3 !!

Where does Unlawful Contact rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is really an action filled series , with lots of sex and love !!! This book was my favorite !

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

This was an awesome story , plot definitely kept me trying to figure it out and kept me on the edge. I feel some books are all Sex ...but this was very equal and a great story is what adds to this kind of book ! JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT.

What about Kaleo Griffith’s performance did you like?

GREAT !

Sweeping scope, magnificent characters, glorious lovestory

Pamela Clare really, really understands character development and the soul deep qualities that bring a character to life. I truly fall in love (or loathing!) with the men and women in her novels. It’s immersion level reading (and listening)!

Kaleo Griffith is outstanding in his vocal performances in her audible versions! He doesn’t overdo the female vocal tones so while they have enough to be feminine they remain subtle and thus much more enriching to my ears. Although I love audio books I’ve become just as picky about the vocal performances and simply wont buy a favorite authors version if the performance is not equal to it. That’s a very personal thing and fortunately many people have different views and favorites.

I love the additional series characters that are a natural part of this storyline. The totally genuine and naturally developing friendship between Julian and Mark is absolutely adorable, real and pretty much my all time favorite bromance.

And while Julian remains an all time heart throb, Mark is in a class of his own. Thank goodness I never have to choose between the two of them in real life!

This novel has darker, intense themes and potential triggers for those sensitive to abuse and assault scenes. While written superbly well, these are gritty and painful to read. I have such respect for the authors handling of them, though.

Cry your eyes ugly at the ending; so much wrapped up so well but by this point you’re deeply and emotionally invested and you can’t help but cry or feel deeply moved, at minimum.

Added to my top 10 of all time.

Whew..........

I really enjoy this series, however, this book is incredible. With a profound story line, subtle sarcasm and HOT HOT HOT love scenes, this is my favorite!!! BUT, lets not mention this narrator who almost made me start smoking!!!!

Bravo and I look forward to the rest of the books..................

The best series in this genre that I have read yet

This review is really for the whole series, as I loved all of them. Pamela Clare did a wonderful job developing the characters...both the men and the women. I think what I enjoyed most is that the the series moved through the different members of the I-team while keeping the characters I already fell in love with part of the story. And Kaleo Griffith is now, by far, my favorite narrator for this genre. I love how he used such distinct, but subtle, voices for everyone, so I always knew who was talking. I was so disappointed when I discovered I had listened to them all. Since then, I have been searching, with no success, to find another series with such great writing, strong & lovable characters, intriguing plots, and steamy sex!

Excellent narrator

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

If what you want is romantic suspense, you'll love this book. I love reading a love story with an interesting backdrop (I like romance novels but I can't take it if nothing else is going on in the world other than the two people falling in love.)
However, be warned, there are strong elements of romance and suspense. If you're looking for romance only, or suspense only, you will be disappointed.

Very good series...

I like the way PC books hold your attention from the very beginning. Her plots have enough twist and turn to keep you interested. The love scenes are hot!!! And the ending although predictable always seem to turn out upbeat. I will definitely read more of her books
