Publisher's summary

Ford spills blood as an enforcer for the Little Memphis MC.

Shay makes an impulsive choice to start over her life in a wild city controlled by a motorcycle club. Meeting Shay at the MC's bar Suede, Ford sees her as a shiny new toy to spice up his life. Shay sees him as a sexy bastard she needs to avoid.

The city of Little Memphis is filled with violence and dubious loyalties. The days of the club's supremacy are over as enemies fight for territory and alliances fall apart. It's a dangerous time to find love, but Ford and Shay have never been good at playing life smart.

Warning: This novel contains scenes of a sexual nature, violent themes, and coarse language. It is intended for mature listeners.

Little Memphis

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

If the author wrote more likeable heroes. I know its an MC book and the males are usually a-holes, but for the story to work, I need both a strong heroine and a hero I find likeable enough to be worthy of the heroine. For the first part of the book, Ford wasn't that. But he did redeem himself later on when he embraced his relationship with Shay.

What about Meghan Kelly’s performance did you like?

Meghan's narration was the best part of Little Memphis.She did a great job narrating the various characters, their emotions, the drama and sweet moments in the book.Meghan narrated the various MC members perfectly, their gruff voices were spot on and my favorite of hers.

Any additional comments?

Little Memphis might not have worked for me, but the narration by Meghan Kelly and the plot which were light on drama and violence are points in its favor.

Good book with good narration

Story: A bit hit and miss for me. Quite entertaining but the time line changes made the book rather confusing at times. With that being said, I thought the story was quite good, with occasional humour. I felt the author portrayed emotions very well and the characters were nicely written and fleshed-out.

Narrator: The narrations was, on the whore, very well done. There were times (very occasional) that the narration felt stilted but this was very rare and can happen with any audiobook. Other than that, I felt the characters were portrayed very well and I enjoyed listening to the narrator’s voice.

P.S. This audiobook was provided by the narrator free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Enjoyable Listen, Fantastic 5 Star Performance


Shay has a crappy life as a surrogate mother to her younger brothers and caretaker to her drunk mother. One night she decides to make a choice and hops on to the back of the back of a motorcycle owned by a guy named Ford. Shay later realizes that Ford is an enforcer for the little Memphis motorcycle club.

Shay plays at being frightened and innocent (her true feelings) for a while until Ford will not take it anymore. They both collide at moving their "relationship" to the next level at the same time. After that night she belongs to Ford but that doesn't mean anything in this lifestyle. She may belong to him, but this does not make him a one woman only kind of man.

There are many fights and situations in which Ford must do his job or leave the club for a while. During these times she wonders if he is "cheating" with another woman or whether he'll make it back to the club alive.

This is an intriguing story and I listened to it, in its entirety, over two days. Some of the language and a lot of the sexual talk were a bit course for me, but I have found that to be true in several of the MC (motorcycle club) books I have listened to. If you like motorcycle books and don't mind the course language and dialogue, you will probably like this book a lot.

One of the reasons I thought I would give another motorcycle club book try is because of the narrator, Meghan Kelly. She is superb in all areas of voice performance. She continued her reputation with this book. I cannot imagine having to voice two burly motorcycle guys as a female, but she seems to do it with ease. The female characters were brilliantly performed as well. Five stars

The publishers warning is very telling of the entire book, I will integrate it, verbatim "this novel contains scenes of a sexual nature, violent things, and coarse language. It is intended for mature listeners." I would even go further and recommends that 'one must be comfortable with hard-core situation, violence & graphic, sexual material as well.

I am trying to keep my bias of the out-of-control, (in my opinion) sex and language. It is difficult to do *I was given this book in exchange for my review. I did not feel or hear an underlying plot or story line other than creepy Spencer – who made only two appearances. For a book that is the first in the series, I expected a little bit more. However, that being said, this book can easily be a standalone. There are a few minor details that need catching up in a future book.

Overall four, performance five, story three

Wow I love these characters!!

What a great bunch of people in this book. I can't say that the plot was very original, but I can say that these characters made the book intriguing from Chapter one.
Shay hitches a ride out of town with Lucky, a biker seemingly passing through town. She is dropped to stay at a house with Darby. Before she even gets settled, she gets knocked off her feet when she meets brothers Ford and Pax, who are the hot alpha males that you will love!
Shay is portrayed as an extremely impulsive individual in the beginning of this book although she shows a lot of restraint throughout the book which is a mild contradiction; however I think this shows the responsibility and maturity this young 20-year old has developed during her difficult life. Darby is one of my favorite characters in this book. She is eccentric and awesome, and she doesn't care who does and who doesn't know it. Ford and Pax's relationship is fun and light-hearted which is a complete contradiction to their harsh exterior and brutal occupations, and you can't help but love them.
The narration wasn't great, but didn't detract from the story. Meghan Kelly did a decent job with Shay's portion but I think this would've been better with a male portraying Ford or a female that is better at portraying the male voice. I would try another book narrated by Meghan if she is only portraying the female voice.
I would recommend this book for a listen if you love a great group of different characters, an HEA, and hot alpha males on a Harley.

One of the Better MC Books

There are a lot of awesome MC romances and a lot of "meh" ones. Little Memphis was very well-written and better than most. I really liked that the characters were authentic. There was no glossing over or toning down Ford's job as an enforcer for the club. I appreciated Shay's total acceptance of him without endless, "I love him but he kills people" internal monologues and that she just makes her decision about him and sticks to it without whining. There was a lot of humorous banter between Ford and his brother and also between Ford and Shay that made me giggle out loud, and I loved the feel of their relationships. I also liked the realness of Shay. As a chick with limited funds, she buys a sexy nightgown at Wal-Mart, not Victoria's Secret, and hangs out with people who go shopping at the mall and leave not having been able to buy everything they want. I feel like that is much more reflective of real life and shows that people who struggle financially can still have a great love story to tell, even if they are telling it from a run-down rental in motorcycle boots and not a midtown high-rise penthouse in Christian Louboutins.

The narrator has a talent for voices. I really liked her male voices, and she performed the dialogue well. Her inflection and cadence in between the dialogue sounded a little unnatural but I got used to it as the book progressed. Overall, she did a good job.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an unbiased review. The number of stars I award in the 5-star rating system is based on where I believe this audiobook rates with other audiobooks of the same type, length and general feel-- not where it rates in comparison to all audiobooks of all time.

Are we listening to the same book?

I just don't understand where all the rave review are coming from... I seem to not make it through chapter 3... I have restarted this book like 6 times.... because I either cannot stay focused on the story or the narration is putting me to sleep.

I really don't even know what is going on... I will give it one more try...but nope... boring MC book so far.. Which is ironic because I loved Bijou Hunter's other book on Audible.

Narration is not so great... IDK...maybe I got the wrong version or something...

Good book but bad performance

Would you listen to Little Memphis again? Why?

Probably not, because the lady doing the characters was just not good at all. The men characters were just really bad, over dramatic and cartoonie,

Would you be willing to try another one of Meghan Kelly’s performances?

No. Would not buy a book that she was on.

Any additional comments?

Really wanted to read this book and almost switched half way through to the book version because audio version was so bad. But the book itself was really good.

Adult Contemporary Romance

I really enjoyed the last few chapters. I like a sweet HEA. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life.

I would have liked it better if there were less curse words. The language was too much for me. It was way too strong for my taste.

The characters were ok but the way the author describes Ford doesn't seem appealing or attractive to me. There seemed to be a lot of dialog but not much descriptive detail about people and places.

The story was written in dual POV which I enjoy.

Better in Print, I think

Would you listen to Little Memphis again? Why?

Probably not. I would read the book in print though.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I didn't care for the narrators voice at all. She made the heroine sound stupid and vapid. I personally didn't think she did the male voices well either...especially those of Joker and Lucky. I would imagine this would be a difficult book to narrate though as there is a big cast of characters (a large portion of them being male). I got used to it after a while, but I believe I would have enjoyed it more in print.

Any additional comments?

I really liked the story. The author didn't sugar coat or romanticize the less savory aspects of the MC. As I said before, I think I would have liked the book better had I read it in print. I could have come up with better voices for the characters in my head. The author created very unique characters that made me laugh (Darby, Pax, etc). The banter between the brothers was humorous and the connection between Shay and Ford was natural and organic. I thought that there could have been more of a climactic experience that forced their decision about their relationship though. I liked that, though this book is part of a series, it didn't end with a cliffhanger. The author tells you what happens and how life goes for the main characters down the road.

Alpha Hunk & Hotty Ford

If you could sum up Little Memphis in three words, what would they be?

An Excellent Listen.

What other book might you compare Little Memphis to and why?

Well its an extended or spin off of The Damaged Series... So it's all tired together ... Love that in a series...

Have you listened to any of Meghan Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great as Always..

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All the compulsive spelling by Bebe... Too Funny.

Any additional comments?
