Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's Summary

Callie Colter once chased sunsets all over the world. Until Max. Together they were a perfect storm of desire, and she reveled in the beautiful burn. Then he disappeared, and the betrayal drove her home to lick her wounds. Who knew he’d have the gall to show his face in her brother’s bar. Max Wilder figures he deserves Callie’s right hook to the jaw, but it changes nothing. He had his reasons for pursuing her across Europe, for making her fall in love with him. But when she took everything he gave and offered more, she changed all the rules. He had no choice in leaving her, but now he’s back. This time for the right reasons. Callie is angry and hurt but powerless against Max’s relentless onslaught. He’ll settle for nothing less than her complete surrender - and her love. Only when she’s back in his arms will he be truly happy. And the damning truth can stay safely tucked away. Except the truth has a way of creeping to the surface, and now Max is out of second chances.

Books 1 and 2 are much better!

What did you like best about Colters' Daughter? What did you like least?

I really didn't like this one compared to the two previous ones. I found this one to be even more disturbing and found that even as the story went on it didn't make me feel better as the first two did. This one is just a no no. The only good thing is Freddie Bates narration!

What was most disappointing about Maya Banks’s story?

I found it a bit sick. Don't want to spoil it though.

Which scene was your favorite?

The very last few minutes but it left me asking whether everything would go back to the usual disturbing behaviour.

Do you think Colters' Daughter needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. I don't think I could handle it.

Any additional comments?

If she had gone a different way with this book then I would have been interested to see what happens in relation to the previous two books. Sorry, but I should have just stuck to the first two!

Dominance and Submission on steroids

I've enjoyed several books featuring a Dom/submissive romance but this one was over the top for me. I love Maya Banks but, some of things going on this story...literally spoon feeding Callie like she was a child, wow, it was just too much for me to indulge in the love that was supposed to be developing between she and Max. It overshadowed what, in the end, was a good story. The sex was intense and some scenes were pretty hot, but sadly this was not my favorite MB tale. Overall the series was good, I just prefer books 1 and 2. The previous stories were endearing, funny, and seriously hot. This one just put me in left field somewhere. I'd hoped for better.

A Change of Pace for the Colters

The first two books of this series has involved a relationship between one woman and three men. This time, the story revolves around Callie, the daughter of the Colters from the first book and the sister to the Colters in the second book. Callie is a free spirit, very independent, but she has returned to her family subdued and heart broken after her love affair with Max Wilder ends. Max, after realising he has made a big mistake at letting Callie go, pursues her again but has a secret that could destroy their happiness.

The exploration of a submissive one on one relationship between Callie and Max is a nice change of pace in this series, and Freddie Bates is a wonderful narrator just perfect for this story. His gruff tones are great for Max, and his lighter, higher voice for Callie and the other female characters isn't grating. Worth a credit? I'd have been happy to spend a credit on this, but it was more economic just to pay for it and save my credit on other more expensive titles.

not as good as the first two

I'm not a huge fan of BDSM, but love and HEA I can do. I wanted Callie's story since she was a part of the 2nd book.

loved it,

I love that Ms. Banks gave a lot of details about the family so u could know whats what. I love the sex sense and the strong women Callie was to have that secret side of herself. The feeding part was a little over the top.

It was good

It was good ! For BDSM I don't know the one scene in the dressing room was cool..... the voices in this was way off.... Not enough moans and groans to ezpress ..... Let me just say try Kresley Cole Game maker series and you`ll get it! ( The Professional Part 1,2,3; The Master, and The Player) If you're not in love by The Professional Part 2 BDSM is just not for you....Or The Master. This was pretty basic to me. A lot of anal play but all, of her books have at least touched the surface so.....

Depending on what you're into

this is the third book in the Colter Legacy series and it's probably my least favorite. I like the overall story but I am not into BDSM. if that is not a problem for you then this is a great story. the narration is good the performance is good an overall I would give this a 3 1/2 to 4 stars.

The Colter Clan

If anyone has not read any of Maya Banks books on the Colter's, then shame on you. All the books are well written, and even though the story's are a little unbelievable I still enjoyed them. How can 3 men love, marry, and have children with the same woman without one or two of them coming to blows is beyond me. But it works for the Colter fathers, and the sons. I have read them all, and I love each one. Keep'em coming Maya.

Raine

Steamy, but not my bag baby!

This was recommended to me by a friend. It was the second novel of this nature that I have ever explored. While hot and steamy in some parts this type of novel is just not for me. As for the writing I quite enjoyed the way a few of the characters developed. Max in particular has an interesting back story. I have not read the novels before this so I don't know if his kin actually appear previously. However, there is a very interesting plot twist that makes the story feel a bit more exciting. I wish that the author would have delved more into the main female. It seems to me that their just wasn't enough of Callie to make the character feel defined, well-rounded and fleshed out to the reader/listener. This review is written based on an audio version of the book. The narrator was fantastic and did a great job and gave a great performance with wonderful intonations for all of the characters.

Terrific story!

Absolutely love this series. The 4th listen as good as the first! Love the narrator also.
