Publisher's summary

Monica believes Jonathan despite her better judgment. Forgives him despite her doubts.

She loves him...just because.

Her heart isn't sensible or guarded enough. Not by a sight. She’s a walking raw nerve ending of emotion, as if the celibate years she'd spent before him made her more emotional, more vulnerable, more foolish.

And she agreed to all of it yesterday and today.

She’d agree to it tomorrow and forever, but for one thing.

There might not be a tomorrow for her king.

Deliciously enticing & one all time favorite serie

I'm a relatively new book worm... I've been reading religiously for a fewish years now. I've read a hellacious amount of contemporary & erotica books & series, including Fifty Shades, Crossfire, Neighborly Affection, Hansel, Sloth & many more. This series is one of my select favorites. I can't number them because I love them all for different reasons. Just know this one is in the tippy top of the list. If you're into suspense, new love, etc. this has it all! CD is an amazing writer with a wonderful wit that reflects in her characters. This is a must read & listen! The audio brings that extra something! Do it for yourself!

one of the BEST series I've read

I am an avid audio books listener and have hundreds of books in my library. I rarely if ever leave a review but after this series, I must! I have never felt so connected with characters in any book as I have with these. Through this read (listen) I laughed, cried and felt like I was right in the moment. This series is not so extra with gory details of the sex scenes so it made it even better of a listen. And the narrator with GREAT!

TOUGHT TO GET THROUGH BUT STILL GOOD

My review headline says it all really, this was a tough one for me to get through from start to finish. Perhaps I'd had my fill of Jo Raylan singing, and it wasn't until this third installment in the series that I felt like there just wasn't enough of Christian Fox's narration. Hours of the 'Goddess' and Jonathan's constant struggles that seemed to only get fixed through angry sex, was a bit much, but, all in all I was happy to see some loose ends tied, and these two finally find a happy medium. After two really brilliant preceding stories the final installment left me lacking a bit, but, CD Reiss is a great author and I will definitely purchase and recommend future books.

Intense

I'm not one who understands that pain/pleasure thing. I just can't empathize with that, but the intensity of this story and its characters makes me understand it a little more. I have fallen in love with this family.

Stunning conclusion!

Sing-Part 7 of 9: I’m not really a fan of what happened with Jonathan in this episode. It didn’t help that it lasted for the whole book. I prefer to see him strong and dominant, not pushed to background due to his condition. The rest of the story in this part was what carried the book for me. Finally the ex-wife gets what she deserves. Monica finally interacts with the evil father who pretends he isn’t evil. I’m interested in seeing what happens there. Will we see him show his true colors later? This ended in a way the author could have stopped at this book but I’m glad she didn’t because it would have been an underwhelmed ending. I have no idea where the story will go from here.

Coda-Part 9 of 9: The final conclusion to Jonathan and Monica's love story. It was real and raw. It gave us a look at what struggles a married couple would go through after dealing with the aftermath of a heart transplant and a new career in the beginning of a marriage. There was no interference from the ex wife, the ex boyfriend or even the evil father. It was just them.

This couple went through a lot in the short time they have been together. I would have liked more fluff for their last book but I still very much enjoyed it. I've loved the whole series. I like these two and for the most part, I liked how they handled everything that was thrown against them.

I listened to the audiobooks for this series and the narrators were fantastic. This is one of the rare cases where I think the narrators enhanced the books. I highly recommend listening to them.

DOMINANCE-Part 8 of 9This is technically part 8 but it is really just extra pov's for different parts of the timeline in this series. It's worth the read to learn a bit more information, mainly Jonathan's pov.

Don't waste the credit

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Very disappointing. Movement was slow.

Has Sing Coda Dominance turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not at all, just thought this may be a money grab from the author. Not needed.

Have you listened to any of Jo Raylan and Christian Fox ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Same as the others.

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

Disappointment

Extra long ending....

I enjoyed bundle 1 (although it had too many unnecessary chapters), bundle 2 was okay and bundle 3 seemed almost unnecessary. I am glad the all of the questions were answered, but the story as a whole just seemed to drag and drag. Chapters upon chapters of what felt like rambling just to extend the story. I think this series could have been shortened to two books, with all information maintained, if the unnecessary fluff was taken out.

Not a typical romance, heart-wrenching, actually

This chapter, of this series, is almost unbearable. I know I have never cried so much. This is so well written that my emotions became the characters'. So if you are wanting the typical patterned romance, then you are in for a surprise.

As far as the sexual relationship between the two characters? I'm not sure how I feel about that. I understand the relationship between pleasure and pain and I am certainly not a prude, but the level of their violence was uncomforting. In my opinion, it's one thing to get carried away with rough play and cause bruising and soreness, and another thing to set out for that goal from the beginning. It makes me, a psychologist degree holder, think of a abusive past instead of a sexual kink. Maybe my unique situation clouds my judgment. Be that as it may, the story is powerful and is a story that will stay with me; a sign of brilliant writing.

Love this series!

I can't say enough about CD Reiss's writing! She sucks you into her stories and keeps you wanting more, as for the narration of this series BRAVO! They did a wonderful job and I can't imagine a better set of voices to capture Monica and Jonathan.
