Rowdy the Ultimate alpha male !

Any additional comments?

Lori Foster is an expert in drawing you into a story from the very first sentence. Like all of her wonderful books the story centres around a Charming protective and Sexy as Hell Alpha male. Rowdy is the ultimate in male perfection.....

Avery spends her nights working for tips… and trying to forget the secret Rowdy is determined to unearth. But when history threatens to repeat itself, Avery grows to rely on Rowdy’s protective presence. As the sparks between them ignite, she will be forced to choose between the security she’s finally found… and the passion she’s always wanted.

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!!

Where does Getting Rowdy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank this book in my top 3! It has everything you look for in a love story. Hot sex, happiness, sadness, suspense, mystery and lots of love.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything!!! From the love story of Rowdy and Avery to the love story of the couples from the previous books( their friends and family). Also bringing in some new characters that added a lot to the story and should lead to other great books by Lori Foster.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she went to his condo after the argument. She stood up to Rowdy and didn't back down. She got what she went there for!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The HOT linking of two lost souls.

Any additional comments?

Lori Foster did it again!! This book was Great!!! What more can I say?

NOT MS FOSTER'S BEST

What did you like best about Getting Rowdy? What did you like least?

We, meaning Ms. Foster's fans, have been waiting a long time for Rowdy's story and I was very excited to see it finally appear. So-o-o-o disappointed. With all of the other stories there was so much more to keep one on the edge of their seat rather it be suspense, drama, chemistry between characters, or just waiting to see what happens next.

This was so predictable and yet unpredictable. Unpredictable because I kept waiting for the big drama, the "hold your breath" suspense and it never materialized.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I think that Rowdy and Avery's story was ok but I wouldn't say interesting.

What three words best describe Jim Frangione’s performance?

Monotone, inflection-less, drab

Did Getting Rowdy inspire you to do anything?

I was hoping that with the introduction of a new character, i.e., Canon, that I would be looking forward to either his or Dash's story, but I'm not sure now.

Any additional comments?

I was so excited about this story that I kept looking at Lori Foster's website to see when "Getting Rowdy" would be coming out; I won't be doing that with the next books in this series and it is my hope that another male narrator, one more suited to changing his tones and inflection when appropriate would be chosen.

Sorry, Ms. Foster, this one just didn't do it for me. Also I would hope that whoever does the pairing of narrator to book would take into consideration the reputation of the author and her work before choosing a narrator that cannot enhance the dramatization of the story.

Good book

Any additional comments?

Another Foster hit! Romance and bad boys make for interesting stories and heated scenes. The narrator also did a great job!

Another excellent story in the 'Live Undercover' series. I loved seeing all the past characters and getting to see what they are doing now.

Rowdy & Avery made a terrific couple. They make an excellent team both at the bar and personally. I look forward to seeing more of them in the next story.

The narration was excellent.

LOVE THIS SERIES

This series has just the perfect blend of strong characters, exciting and believable plots, and steamy romances. I have trouble putting them down.

I Love, Love, Love Rowdy

Lori Foster always delivers a good read, but Getting Rowdy is one of my absolute favorites. The way Avery and Rowdy interact is delightful, and the story is a wonderful blend of sweetness and suspense.

Definitely worth a listen

So, I wasn't sure about the narrator when I started the book. Not an irritating voice, but more scholarly, like a news reporter, not steamy, but it grew on me or I got used to it as the book progressed.

I liked that the story moved along, however, there was quite a bit of tension build-up time before they actually got together. Although the characters are from polar opposite worlds, they each still have baggage and things to continue to watch their backs about.

HEA ending that is predictable, however, the events leading up to it are not. Predictability mixed with the surprise you may not see coming make an enjoyable combination.

Spellbinding, awesome and exciting.

Two people learning how to shed the past, hopeful of the future while fighting for the present. From beginning to end, the book leaves you spellbound with emotions. From suspense, tears and love, you will not want to stop listening. I love it. Great characters and story.
