Publisher's summary

Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about - his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charged with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins.

Vin diPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he's good with that - until fate intervenes in the form of a tough-talking Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart - and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul.

Really enjoyed this first book in new series!

Would you listen to Covet again? Why?

I will probably listen again. I really liked the narrator! He did a great job with the all the charaters and i could easily tell them apart! I am quiet fond of J.R Wards style of writing! It is hip, modern and edgy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Covet?

When Vin saw Gretchen from across the club. I was so there!!

Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this was my first to be narrated by him. LOVED his deep masculine voice! thought he was supberb for this book!

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

I love anything supernatural or different. The whole story line and concept are right up my alley. So well written too!! Never a boring or dull moment!

Any additional comments?

I am delighted to see that Jim Heron is in the next installments. i wish he would walk into my life!! I plan on purchasing the next 2 when my credits come in this month!

Gteat Book

I love this series! Can't wait to start next book! I'm so excited! I hope people are loving this series as much as me!

Great start for this series!

This is the start of the Fallen Angels series and it's off with a bang! You meet the main players throughout the series in Jim Heron, Eddie, Adrian, and Devina. Jim, Eddie and Adrian are all angels with Jim being the one who is picked to play the game that will save life on earth as we know it. Devina is the very Devil who the angels have to play against. Ed and Ad are both fallen angels who are tasked with helping Jim to follow and learn the rules put in place by the "Creator". In the series there are seven souls that will be in play, with the winner being the one, (Devina or Jim), who wins the majority of the souls. They each have to influence one chosen person who is at their "crossroad". Devina being the devil doesn't play by the rules as you can imagine, so it's game on! The story was well written and exciting. Eric G. Dove does a wonderful job! This one is wroth a credit. Enjoy!

She only has eyes for him.

Like any of JR Ward works that she does, there are no boundaries that aren't crossed. The heroine is a prostitute, which is an unusual strategy for a romance. Which for me takes some mind adjusting to wrap my mind around that fact, but you will like Marie Terese she's a survivor. The story did take about 4 hours into it before I became invested in it and now I'm hooked and my day at work flew by with this book. I will be reading more from this series soon. It is interesting how JR Ward combines this series with her BDB series and how they are both in the small town of Caldwell, but not many of the BDB characters are in this series. Narrator is enjoyable although he is a bit monotone but once the story picks up you hardly notice.

Almost as good as BDB

This was a fantastic story and I loved the overlaps of details from Black Dagger Brotherhood story line. Just downloaded book # 2 because, WOW: I want to listen to more. Good action and great scenes in the true JR Ward style ;)

Woth the Credit but not spellbinding

What did you love best about Covet?

That is was based around the Black Dagger Brotherhoods hometown and intermixed with the story line

If you’ve listened to books by J.R. Ward before, how does this one compare?

I have listened to all the BDB books. This story was fun and I enjoyed it but it did not have the same spellbinding effect. I was able to walk away from the story when needed and it was not bothersome.

What about Eric G. Dove’s performance did you like?

Good and keeping track of the voices for each character.

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

.... Non that spring to mind.

good

Loved it! There was romance, mystery, and drama. This story has the right amount of fantasy.

Enjoyed it

It was great storyline. Reader was ok. I love this author and it was great going back to Caldwell. Will be reading the next one.

Great Series Beginning

The Ward is the best- in my opinion no one comes close in this genre. Not as amazing as her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but still damn good. You can trust anything by this author.

As an atheist I do not believe in the angel/demon thing, but of course there is good and bad in the world and I want the good to win. I love the gray area this novel has for the humans and that redemption is possible. The love story was unconventional and unpredictable which is amazing.

It does not have the humor or fun of BDB but there is some cross over characters (De La Cruz and Trez) so it’s worth listening for that alone.

could be great but...

This could be a great series but the vulgar language gets in the way. I am not a prude - I have no problem with language that adds to the story line or forms a particular character's identity. But this author uses vulgar language for no reason - it adds nothing and simply makes the book difficult to listen to. Sad if you ask me because like I said this could be an great series.
