“Special Forces” Lite

This is a softer, sweeter version of Voinov’s extraordinary 3-book masterpiece “Special Forces”. It’s supposed to be in a sci fi setting but he makes no real attempt to create a different world or a different time: it’s just today’s Afghanistan but supposedly on a different planet. The reader tries too hard, but has little talent. Voinov was once so powerful. But this is just lazy writing and uninspired reading.

Brilliant reader, Brilliant book

Jack LeFleur is an amazing reader. This isn't the first book he's read that I love. I don't know if he picks the books he read (fantasy/sci-fi/romance) or if he's assigned to the genre, but either way he is very well suited. This book is also absolutely brilliant. I found that the combination of a great plot and an excellent reader left me standing staring into space completely focused entire on the words I listened to. Jack LeFleaur puts so much animation, so much emotion, so much emphasis in the way he reads that it's like listening to a movie. I highly recommend the book, am now a new fan of these authors, and I strongly recommend the reader. He could read the phone book now and I'll listen. Good audiobook overall! Five stars!

great story, hut

great story, but the performance left something to be desired. the performer reminded me of a over the top, smug, high brow stereotypical snob.

An epic Love story!!!!

It was so great being part of such a story. I could just imagine our two main characters, their internal struggles. Falling in love with the enemy and finally finding a home in each other, something to live for, memories worth holding on to after living a life in shame when duty clashed with self.

I really enjoyed this book, it took us to a whole new fantasy world.

the naration was perfect and on point. never rushed and clear.

Excellent write, I can't wait to see what comes next.

Different in a good way

Excellent world building, characters felt authentic and well developed. There was a lot of material that could have spun into an epic sci-fi saga, but the provided material felt pared down to the relevance of the main characters/story arc. The love was graphic without being sentimental. Not a fluffy romance, but the end was plenty sweet.

Outstanding Fantasy/Real Story/Real People

What did you love best about Dark Edge of Honor?

The realness of the characters. Growing up during the Cold War Era I could relate to the two protagonasts. This is a true real-life style love story!

What did you like best about this story?

The fact that they rose above all of the political plays by others and ended up loving each other despite their vastly different life experiences

What does Jack LeFleur bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought the story and characters to life. His changing accents and ways of speech were believable

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

After Sergei was injured by friendly fire and lost his arm and was on the brink of losing his life he told Mike that he just wanted to make love to him one more time. He just wanted to be held by him one more time.

Any additional comments?

Alexsandr Voinov is an excellent author. I have enjoyed all of his books that I have read. I am constantly on the look-out for more of his stories

More Jack LeFleur, please?

What made the experience of listening to Dark Edge of Honor the most enjoyable?

See the above title. I'm new to audiobooks, especially erotic romance, but listening to Jack LeFleur's outstanding narration got me hooked on the concept, very, very quickly. Unlike the handful narrators in this particular genre, he really gets into the book and just mesmerizes you with his voice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sergei, of course. For a large, hard bodied space-Russian who could probably kick my ass, I wanted nothing more than to wrap him up in a blanket and hug him. If you look up the term

Which scene was your favorite?

Oh jeez, my favorite scenes would probably get this review kicked for violation of some conduct code. So, my favorite non-love scene is Sergei not quite getting the concept of a partnership and involves this line

Any additional comments?

No, seriously, heed my title. Pay this man whatever he asks, just get him to read more for Audible.com. Heck, I'll buy a dictionary if he'll read it.

Very good fantasy m/m romance

Love the lizards and the love story between Two men Who gets involved for all the wrong reasons. The story of the Two men On opposite sides of af war is heartwarming. I really liked the minor characters too and Think the story of nichician and the man replacing the general should be the next story they write! Narrator one of the best On audiable and as allways very good.
