Winter Fire

I only gave this book three stars because of the narrator. I hate, hate, hate the narrator. Oh by the way, did I mention that I hate the narrator. Her voice is breathless, low, and SLOW. OMG! I think the book would have only been about 8 hours if the narrator had read at a normal pace. She has no talent at doing different voices, many times, you cannot even tell which character is talking, if you do not pay very close attention to the book. I do not understand how some of these horrible narrators get these jobs. Don’t they have auditions? Apparently not! The story is very good. This is the last of the books in Lowell’s Only series (Only His, Only Mine, Only Love, etc.) The hero is mentioned in Only Love, where his brother, Hunter Maxwell is introduced, and then shows up in Autumn Lover, which is his brother’s story. This is really one of the best books of the series, but I would high recommend “reading” the book and not listening to it.

The book was really good but the narrator was horrible.
I have tremendously enjoyed Ms Lowell's 'Only' series and would highly recommend the books to all who enjoy a bit of erotica with a good story line.
The narrator really annoyed me. I had to rewind many times to make sense of what she was saying.

A good story to pass time with. It not an unforgetable story by any stretch of the imagination it was okay

The story was great, however it was difficult to follow due to the narrating. It sounded like Alvin the chipmunk speedreading after smoking several packs of ciggarettes. At times the voice was so low, that you couldn't understand what was being said and some sentences were too rushed. I love Elizabeth Lowell books, but this narrator is the worst I've ever heard.

Most of Lowell's books have just wonderful stories to follow. She fills her pages with characters that are rich with a completeness that rarely disapoints. The flow of the story is like a lazy river raft trip. You are part mesmerized yet alert for any dangers that may crop up along the way. I want to root for the hero's and heroines, and shoot those darn villans that keep popping up. From start to finish there is an emotional investment and ride that carries you through to the finish with a sense of rightness and completion. This is an author that I continue to go back to re-listen to her books because I always feel better for reading them. Her characters are real. Down to earth. It is easy reading in the best sense of the word. This particular book is a western. I feel like I have stepped back in time. She draws the reader into her plots and you get happily lost in another world. She makes writing seem easy when we know it is not. I would call her a wonderful story teller.

I have listened to many recorded books and for the most part the narrators are very good and can be clearly understood. This narrator lowers her voice so much the listener has a hard time understanding what she is saying. The story is very good. I've read the book since listening to this tape to get the full story.
