Lack of continuity

I like this story enough to continue with the series but the author doesn’t worry with continuity. Details change about characters in subsequent books and it’s annoying.

Great book. This book was good.

This is my favorite book. This was amazing. Great story. I am still hooked. Yes!

Very entertaining but characters deteriorating

Fast-paced and great energy. Stone is becoming naïve beyond belief and Arington has become a bonafide airhead. While there are many enjoyable twists and turns it looks like Mr. Woods is going to bleed the Stone:Arington relationship issues for another 8-10 books or more. I've only read his first nine in this series. Great mind and great books, but would like to see one actually have a beginning and have an ending. Meanwhile, I'll keep reading forward until I can't take it anymore.

Interesting listen

The story was good, if a bit far fetched.
Arrington is an uppity bitty who thinks mostly of her own needs and pleasure.

Absolutely love Charlene Joiner. nothing phony about her.

Stone is a sap, which is why I like him.

Good listen

This was a good book. Not OMG fantastic, but a good, easy listen. The main female character, Arrington, was quite annoying though. She’s overly female drama, to the point it felt distinctly manufactured by the author to create conflict in the story. I can’t understand why the main character, Stone, likes her so much. She ditched him for a rich, famous actor in a prior book, and then still expects Stone to jump whenever she wants something and be faithful to her. She also does quite a few stupid things. Her character took the story down a notch. But overall, it’s a typical Stone Barrington story and a good book to listen to. The narrator did a very good job, enhancing the listening experience.

L A Dead

Superb storytelling. Love all the characters. Stuart Woods has done it again. If you haven't listened yet, you should! You start to feel like family

Great read!

Kept me heading to the next Chapter! Tony Roberts does a superb job of narrating. Great story line and character development.

struggled a bit

too many characters to keep track of. I got confused at times and got tired of Stones escapades.

Stone's character is weak

Stone seems to think or is lead by his penis, no matter whom is may hurt, as long as he can get his pleasure, I think Dolce got a raw deal the way the story has been written.

Voices......way off!

I could tolerate the voice for Stone but the voice for his friend Dino is awful. It was so bad I returned the book. I got the book from the library and read it . I am listening to another in the series from the library the best I can say is it is free and I wince every time Dino says something!
