Publisher's Summary

Kisses after Dark is a New York Times and USA Today best seller. She's avoided men all her life. Growing up with an abusive father, Katie Lawry learned a thing or two about men and has made a conscious choice to stay far away from them. Until the day of her brother Owen's wedding when she's rescued from nearly drowning by Shane McCarthy. With everyone who matters to Katie assuring her that Shane is one of the good guys, she feels safe to give in to the attraction that simmers between them. Katie has waited a long time to take a chance on love, but is Shane the right guy for her? He's ready to move on. More than two years after a painful divorce, Shane has a life on Gansett Island that makes sense to him. With his father, sister and beloved baby nephew living close by and a job that he enjoys, Shane is content if not entirely happy. One thing he knows for sure is he's tired of living in the past. Spending time with sweet, sensitive, sexy Katie Lawry makes him feel hopeful, and he might be ready to risk his heart again. Surrounded by the Gansett Island community, Shane and Katie take an important step forward together, but is their new relationship strong enough to withstand an unexpected challenge?

The wonderful island off Gansett

Horrible Story Line and Even Worse Narrator

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If it had had a different narrator and did not have a story line that was so snappy and unrealistic yet in a very predictable way. I love this series but absolutely hated this book.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'll read the next book in the series because I love the characters but this book really turned me off. I had a very hard time finishing it.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator was too flat, too sappy, sounded like her tongue was paralyzed when she was speaking as a male and I couldn't tell who was talking.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Extreme disappointment. I started this book last year and couldn't get past chapter 7 because I hated the narrator's voice. Decided to finish it so that I could move on to the next in the series. The narrator was as awful as I remembered. The story line was awful. I should have just read the synopsis and returned the audio book.

Another Predictable Love Story!

Would you try another book from Marie Force and/or Holly Fielding?

I'm sorry, I love all of Marie Force stories, but they are getting too predictable. There isn't enough Drama. Especially when Shane's ex-wife came back or Big Mac's daughter came in place. It's needed something, I can't put my mind to it.

Would you be willing to try another book from Marie Force? Why or why not?

Yes, I enjoy Marie books.

What three words best describe Holly Fielding’s performance?

I felt Holly rushed as she was reading the book to us. I love listening to her, but it seems like she wasn't into the characters.

Was Kisses after Dark worth the listening time?

Yes

Another Great Read

Easy, funny & another Gansett
Love story.
Some repetition but I guess it's needed for the readers who don't read series in order.
Thank you again, Marie😀😀
