It was an older book with older views on men and women

I didn't like the beating talk in Mexico. The narrator was good she kept the story going. The end was satisfying

Not my favorite

Ms. Krentz’s writing and story crafting skills were just as evident in this bill as all the others o have read. My personal problem was that I disliked the heroine. My teeth were grinding at some of her persistent nagging, angry responses.
So this is the only one of Ms. Krentz s books I cannot give five stars snd the only one I won’t reread/relisten to several times.

Period piece

circa 1983 and the characters and writing sure sound like it. I don’t remember reading or enjoying anything written like this at the time. And yes, I have been a bookaholic my entire lifetime.
I’m not a fan of McFadden’s narration here. Odd cadence and diction takes the reader’s attention away from the book.

overall good but a bit cringe.....do to age?

Overall, I like her books.I think they're amazing But this felt a little dated a bit out of touch with modern ideas...but I stuck with it and finished the book and overall enjoyed it in the end!

Rapist Kidnapper hero?

I'm disgusted by the idea that Raven's behavior is okay. Another book where the hero starts out horrible and gets mildly better with understanding.

Disappointing narrative

I found the voice the reader gave the heroine in this story to be annoying. The nasal tone made her sound like a petulant teenager and interfered with the interpretation of the story.
This was very disappointing since I am a great fan of Jayne Ann Krentz novels.

Seriously, wasn’t expecting close to RAPE

Borderline rape both physically and fantastically in ravens head … so not ok and in my mind not something to come back from! I was disgusted, since it wasn’t part of her other books (I’ve only read 4). Probably not gonna read more now.

very captivating

I truly enjoy the story. I was captivated from beginning to end. the narrator was compelling. I enjoyed the lessons learned both spiritually and naturally. the twist at the end was perfect! I thought I knew "who done it", then I was wrong, only to find out I was right! whoot! whoot! Great story. I can't wait to read more by Ms. Bradley.

a 1983 JA Krenz with a 2020 release date RIPOFF

I love Jane Ann Krentz, Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick. Obviously I did not love this novel.
In 1983 many romance novels featured semi rape, men overpowering women and over weaning male "heroes" who simply went ahead with intercourse and the women responded with pkeasure. I guess it was a reaction to the feminization of men in the popular culture.
I finally gave up listening to this tale. The hero's dialogue sounded classic stalker 'you belong to me' you are mine. he actually kidnapped her to give her a chance to learn that they belonged together. Not a novel I would have selected to reprise. I have hundreds of audible titles. I've only abandoned 2 others.
A waste of space and my money. If it had to be released, it should have been clear that it was nearly 40 years out of date and released as one of the audible escapes not First Run premium book at full price

Woah...

I remember reading this book when it was first written. For some reason I didn't remember how misogynistic it was.
