Kidnapping Casey

Zor Warriors Series, Book 2

De: Laurann Dohner

Narrado por: Simone Lewis

Book 2 in the Zorn Warriors series.

All Casey wants is to avoid being arrested on trumped - up charges from her persistent ex-boyfriend. Running through the woods to escape two deputies sounds like a great plan until they catch her. Thinking it’s all over, waiting to hear the snap of the handcuffs, she instead hears a roar.

A huge, tall, muscular man comes to her rescue. She’s being saved by Bigfoot - and he’s the sexiest thing she’s ever seen. The attraction between them is instant, and after spending a little time with him, Casey wants to take him home and keep him.

There are a few problems with that plan. He’s not the legendary creature, but he definitely isn’t human. Argernon is a warrior from Zorn. They do have one thing in common - he wants to take her home and keep her. He’s kidnapping Casey.

Irrational women

Oftentimes, I read these romances and think about that quote from “As Good as it Gets,” when Jack Nicholson says “I think of a man and then take away all reason and accountability.” That description fits almost every leading lady. What’s even more irksome than the negative archetype being perpetuated is that most of the novels are written by women. Can no one make a valid, compelling argument? Do none of them know how to be upset without whining and sulking? And the way they all fly off the handle when they have partial information or listen to women motivated by jealousy? They’re not only irrational, they are also insecure.

I had to fast forward entire chapters because I couldn’t tolerate Casey’s inability to put two and two together for herself. She is a drama queen. Who feels betrayed by what a man does before he met you? Or the loose ends he has to tie back home if he met you out of town. It makes no sense! What is there to forgive? Nothing at all, but she goes on with this same inane argument for chapters. It’s like the author just ran out of things to say and couldn’t stop writing until she met her word count. There should have been more conflict contrived in the plot! This narrative device did not work! I may not ever read another book by Dohner fot fear I may suffer a similar fate as a reader.

Kidnapping casey

I really liked this book it has some funny moments when Casey thought he was bigfoot.

Not the best in the series!

While I love Laurann Dohner's books, this is not one of my favorites. And I think the narrator is just awful. Her voice is monotone and she shows no emotion. You really can't tell one character from another by listening to her voice. I think it's a shame that Laurann Dohner uses her almost exclusively to voice her books.

speechless

fantastic read, kept me in twine with the story, I loved it, on to the next.

Zorn Book 2 Yes

This book in the series does a fair job of drawing you into the character's interactions; dare I say relationship? The whole series is over 21 material and yummy when that's what you're looking for. Narration is weak on male characters, but works in general. Well worth my purchase on sale.

No Means No

I kind of, sort of enjoyed this book. I love the feistiness of the MFC but the guy just ticks me off because he thinks because she is sexually attracted to him it’s okay to proceed with his little seduction games. Where I’m from No means No! The narration was good but I’m still kind of pissed even though they had a HEA.

love the zorns

i enjoyed the book but some of the wording didnt fit in the story like son of a ...... overall steamy and the characters Casey and her zorn were great.

Narrator

Narrator made the man sound robotic. Not impressed. The female she gave a great reading with attitude and sass. But the male was non emotional and monotone.

Casey is a idiot.

Casey is so clueless. While in the cave there where so many signs that he was an alien. Casey sounded like a idiot. Many parts of this book upset me. But then I realized that Casey did nothing to help herself. She really was an idiot. If she didn't want him she should have said "NO" when he started the sex stuff in the cave in the beginning. She was staring at him and basically drooling. She never once said NO. She then told him an entire plan about keeping him and him living with her. So he was fully thinking she wanted more then just sex. Then once she is aware he is a alien and is keeping her she threatens to kill him but is then surprised that he cuffs her. She said she was gonna kill him and she also was planning to keep him herself. Then when having sex on the ship he said roll over and she totally doesn't get it that he wants doggy style. She is very slow. The kicker is the end of the book, she acts like she doesn't want Arganon because of the 3 women he had and she wants to live with Ariel and find a new male to bond to. But all she had to do was play along till the next morning, Ariel was gonna look for her. Then she only had to demand to see the ruler Berrr to tell him how Arganon kidnapped her against her will. She wanted to be with him but her pride was hurt and she felt betrayed by him for not telling her. I do understand her feelings and agree she needed to be upset. He needed to prove she was his one and only and prove his commitment to her. He never planned to get a human so he didn't prepare, the Zorn men require alot of sex or get sick, so he had house helpers for lovers. But once home he needed to remove the women and he did, he got rid of the 3 women, agreed to monogamy to Casey, and she is pregnant. They love each other and he wants only to make her happy. Because she is on Zorn she needs someone to take care of her and protect her so who better then the person who loves you and is the father to your baby. He agreed to all her requirements. Plus she can't go back to earth now that she is having a alien baby.

Terrible narration of the male voices!

How could the performance have been better?

The narration of the male characters was very dull. The female voices were more expressive. The male voices all sound the same. I wish the narrator did the male voices better.

Any additional comments?

The story wasn't too bad. The characters were ok too.
