Not my cup of tea

Heartless was lacking in so many ways. I hate books where there are no redeeming characters. The only likable ppl were the 60+ yr old best friend of Cookie and the cat. I found this whole story to be utterly ridiculous. Queen Cookie? Really. I like fantasy books but this felt fantastically stupid. I only forced myself to finish because i paid for it.

Superficial

I love the author but this one is just not her best effort, Too drawn out and very predictable and although the reader has a great voice it’s too low or soft to be heard at times.

Disappointed. Narration and characters annoying.

I had to double check the category of this book. Romance contemporary?? Felt like teen or young adult. Ridiculous . Also narrator was too slow ,dramatic. Ugh. I have read all of Gena Showalter Mature books...was anxiously awaiting this new series. Original concept but very poor execution . Not my cup of tea. 5 hours into book..I called it quits.

Just, wow!

The story line was great and hopefully with the unknown part- it leads to a second book maybe?? The narrator did a great job with the voices and the acting! Especially the spicy scenes!! His voice is uuhh- mazing! The only irksome issue I had with the narrator was that during the narrating part (not the actually conversations) he over used the “whisper ending” of a sentence. It made for an over dramatization of every single sentence. He made up for it in his acting and voices though.

Damaged Male meets tough Cookie!

Excellent storyline! I enjoyed all parts of the plot. I loved the utter violence of Kasar. I could listen to Shane East read a mathematical text and be enthralled. He does an outstanding job with this book. My only thought is perhaps the mid part of the book could have moved a little faster. The sex scenes are not many but over the top Hot. I recommend anyone try on Gena’s new series.

such a good story

wow just wow..Adam Gold's voice and narration made this book even more enjoyable. i wan't him to read all my books!!!

Didn’t finish

This story just really dragged for me. I didn’t like the characters. The constant negotiations over whether to have sex or not was boring. I Finally just gave it up and quit. Mr. Gold’s performance however was very good.

Good start to a new series….

I really liked this book. Gena Showalter is a new author for me and she didn’t disappoint. The narrator was outstanding in his delivery. Kasar and Cookie were such a great couple. I liked that the book “wrapped up”.
It is part of a series so we will see where this takes us. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. Four Stars on this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

new series

it started slow and ended as amazing as always another 5 star book thank you for feeding my book obsession

Yet another masterpiece.😄😁

Loved the story line. Loved the reader. Love All Gena's
works. Can't wait for the next.

lots of death

struggled to finish. not sure I was ever comfortable with the fact he was essentially a mass murderer / psychopath. won't stop me reading Gena S books. have really enjoyed everything else I've read from her.
