the perfect couple

What did you love best about Forged in Steele?

I am usually not a fan of the explicit sexual content But the author kept so much humor and closeness between hero and heroin. I never felt like an intruder .Loved

Who was your favorite character and why?

Steele of course.

What does Adam Paul bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Paul Steele' s voice fit his persona to perfection. Reminds me of Aldo Ray .(Ray an actor from the fifties.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes and have listened several times since.

Any additional comments?

Love all of the KGI books. These are Maya Banks very best stories. Love the whole of the entire cast of characters.

I love this series

That said, there is some offensive language, and a bit of over working the sentimental jargon. I some times wonder if authors are paid by the word. Anyway, thankfully she has several other characters that she has to work with in the Kelly Group.

Narrator doesn’t do it for me.

Narrator is trying too hard. Steele’s voice sounds like Dirty Harry with a cold. It is just weird and very distracting. Story was good but damn. It is hard to keep going, I️ finally had to get the book. My imagination is much better than listening to that guy.

Holy bad narrator Batman!!!!!!!

Love this series. Hate the new narrator. Steele sounds like Ridiculous and I keep laughing at everything he says. I keep picturing Christian Bale and those YouTube videos of the dad that keeps yelling at his wife in the Batman voice. It's awful and takes away from the overall experience; however, the story is great. Love Maya Banks!

Omg ..his voice for Steele..awful

Oh my. His voices were OK until he decided to pull out a cross between Christian Bales Batman and some creepy raspy voice. I literally laughed out loud everytime he switched to the god awful voice. It is Soooo distracting to listen to a romantic scene with a voice that made it sound like a twisted scene in a horror movie. I can only imagine his poor ravaged voice after reading this novel. The story great. Everything else great....the voice distracting. Nuf said!
