Wild Card

If you know L.L.'s books then you know what to expect - fantastic writing, great plot, awesome characters and strong leading men that are hot hot hot. I think this has been ABSOLUTELY her BEST book that I've listened to - it was tender, thoughtful, touching, torturous, tense and totally addictive.

I thought I needed to sleep but this is one you just don't want to stop listening to but, at the same time, you're enjoying it soooo much that you just don't want it to end.

Worth a credit? Not just a YES but a HELL YES.

This is the best of the Elite Ops books from Lora Leigh. I laughed, cried, and couldn't wait for each chapter. I read this book last year, but when I saw it on audiobook I bought it right away. This book has all the normal Lora Leigh style erotica - but the story itself is so much better than any of her other books. You can feel how much the characters love each other and how tormented they are without each other. The suspense and action are fantastic, keep you wanting more. I hope Lora brings the other Elite Ops and Seal books to audiobook, loved it!

This book had the potential to be a reasonably good story. But it went the way of the extended erotica that just gets to the point I say get it over with already...good grief. Average chapter has 2 pages of story and 10 of the sexual encounter, or maybe it just seemed that way to me.
I am not anti sex but it becomes repugnant and the story is lost to the listener. Of course I realize there is a readership for this genre.
This is totally personal but I cannot abide this narrator and will avoid in the future. This is the 3rd book I have suffered thru her narration. We are just not capable.
I love a good love story, but a story is more than this. And sex can be more than this banging.

Yes, it was not what I expected. It was more! When I read the summary I got the impression it would be somewhat boring. I read reviews and saw so many liked it, so I finally decided to try it. I'm glad I did.

I think it's a little like the Wicked Lovers Series by Shayla Black.

It's one that I'll enjoy again and I already got the next book in this series before I finished listening to this one.

After about 8 hours of listening I could not stand this book! The author used repetition as if she were getting kickbacks for using certain words, e.g. “I’m a SEAL”, “I loved my SEAL”, “I’m the wife of a SEAL”, “Irish eyes”, “My Irish”, “Special Ops”, “Special Ops”, “Special Ops”. I cannot believe this book was written in 2008! It reads like a romance novel from 20 or 30 years ago…I couldn’t stand to hear about this guy’s “tight denim jeans encased in leather chaps” one more time. I enjoy romance and even the occasional erotica novel, but the sex scenes in this book went on FOREVER. “Wild Card” was entirely too long for the plot to have been so poorly developed…the actual story would have been okay, if the author put as much effort into plot as she did into the sex scenes. This book is almost 16 hours, of which maybe 2 hours were actual plot development. I won’t even say “if you like sex, you’ll like this book” because even the most sexually starved person will be like “get on with it already” or “not again". Halfway through, I started to fast forward through the sex scenes and there was nothing worse than hearing “she tasted like sunshine”, “he was throbbing with need” after like 6 or 7 minutes were already skipped. Oy vey, this book was simply dreadful. The narrator was okay…her males had similar sounding moments, but overall she did a fair job with the various accents.

Couldn't wait for this to come into audio format and it was well worth it!!!! 15 hours of no sleep because right from the start your are absolutely glued!!!

All I have to say is I want to be on the "Navy Seal Rehab Team"!!! LOL

Narrator was incredible.............. Can't wait for the next book!!!

This was a great listen. It's typical Lora, and purely enjoyable.The characters are good, story good....

The only issue I had with it at all is that it seems to follow the now very popular formula of Broken x2 = hot sex life.

A man's love for his wife while he's going thru hell.

Nathan/Noah, both sides of this man was so touching that you ache to console him.

Yes, Clarissa's performance is captivating which even drawn me into the story more.

Great book...will listen to more than once...story tugs at the heart and when that happens the author had done good.

I like this book. I am not one for Navy Seal characters but this book was pretty interesting. It involves the usual self doubt, over analyzing, and self loathing characteristics. However, this particular book kept me interested. I'm a loyal Danielle Steele reader and don't usually spend my nights reading authors such as Lora Leigh. I've recently added a few new authors to my list... needless to say! Anywho, the book has action, drama, and sex ..lots of very descriptive sex.
I wasn't sure at first with the two prologues but it eventually picked up and I was totally enthralled .

The narrator was really good. No complaints there.

I have been waiting for more of Lora Leigh's books to come out on audible. I cannot wait for more of this series. This is an awesome book. Lora Leigh does romance like few others can and this series fab. There are some great twists you won't see coming. I can't say too much because it would spool the story. If you like Lora Leigh you will like this book.
