Narrator ruined it for me

I read this book some time ago and was excited it finally made audio. The book version is better. Although Pete Ohms is getting better he is still not there yet. He ruined the book for me. If I had not already known the story I would have been totally disappointed. The books that were narrated by others are much better. I have continued to buy the books hoping they will get better. I have been so excited the Madaris series is on audible. I might try again, but at some point I will have to let it go. I can't continue to buy the series and dislike the narrator.

The story is fairly cute started out as a business venture and the two people ended up actually falling in love. The story is well develop and you do fall in love with the characters. This book has been around for a while but still a good one. Short and sweet.

One of my favorites!! Until NOW!!!

This is one of my favorite Brenda Jackson stories! I love the Madaris Family, especially Clayton! I would tell anyone to read this book and fall in love with the story and the characters.

However, I would not recommend the audio book! The narrator was not a good choice. He is not good at performing the female voices and it got creepy at times.

Definitely READ the book (in fact, read ALL of her books)! It was hard to listen to the audio book.

The main character is a brat.

He could do better with his attitude. I think Coby could be a stronger character. Do we really consider this sexy that today's woman is so naive. we are now in 2020

Wonderful story, need a new narrator

I love Brenda Jackson's books, and I've read most of them. This narrator does not do them justice.

Awful Narration

I think this story was good. However, the narrator totally ruined it for me. At some points in the story, if he soke SO slow I felt like just discontinuing altogether. I like the author but I will not listen to anymore of her books narrated by Peter Ohms.

Seductively tasteful!

I just love this story! Letting go of past hurts and pain is exactly what a lot of us need to do in order to get into the fulfillment that God has already Destined for our lives!
Thanks Brenda Jackson, I love all of your books and I’m indulged in this series! I’m still in all of your writing!

One Of My Favorites

Although I have several, this is one of my favorite books by Brenda Jackson. I have read this book at 4 times already and bought the movie when it was released on BET Yeats ago. When I found it on Audible, i had to listen to it. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
