Worst narrator ever!!

I could have enjoyed this book but they picked the wrong narrator. Books with only one narrator need narrator's who can mimic both male and female voices, which Elizabeth Pike could not do. I had a hard time figuring out who was talking to who and getting irritated because all the male voices were feminine. The story itself was ok although it was easy to figure out who the villain was.

Great story but could use less sex

Melinda Leigh is a spectacular story teller. I love how she weave a mystery. The only way she could improve the books is to take out the sex nonsense - I do not need to hear explicit details about other people’s sex.

An Ordinary Performance

The performance was a bit limiting. It was hard most of the time to differentiate the characters voices.

Wishing I lived in this town. Great characters!

I loved how this story is in the same town as the first book.
But we get to learn about different characters or meet new people in town. There's characters in this story from book one which I think pulls it all together. It seems like a real place.

Overall great read, loved the story. Getting book three today!

Side note: I wish I could live in this town with theses characters. Such great friends. Lol

Young Adult novel

I enjoyed the writing and the story overall. However, at times I wondered if I was reading an adult mystery or a young adult book written for hormonal teenagers. Seriously, enough is enough with huge biceps and tight asses.

Good mystery

I enjoyed the mystery very much, but felt the long sex scenes were gratuitous and unnecessary interruptions of the story. I may not read any more of her books.

Good read.

Good read, at times I thought there were a few to many characters. All in all I enjoyed it.

Awesome

Exciting plot, action packed with the perfect balance of emotional scenes. The narrator did a wonderful job. I definitely recommend this book.

not a waste of time.

I did enjoy this book but it was a bit slow. worth a listen to for sure.

Very good suspenseful romance

This is a solid 4.5 stars. I absolutely love Melinda Leighs books. She paints a great picture with her words. I took a half a point off for Light dragging 3/4 of the way through. Will I read her next book - you bet ya.

Had to stop reading...

...not because it was scary, but because of the constant, lurid references to sexual attraction. We get it, there is sexual tension. She's trying to ignore it. No need to oversell it - the audience is much more emotionally aware than the author seems to give credit for. I do like my books to have a human element, but this gets in the way of otherwise fine story telling. Love the dog, though!

Brilliant i enjoyed it from the start to the end

The book was great just like all the other ones i can't wait to start the next

Good story

Good book, storyline keeps you guessing right up to the end. Definitely worth a listen

excellent read!!😀

Totally and thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kept me going and wondering what was coming next.

mediocre

the narration was flat and one dimensionalast which made the characters the same so I could not really invest in them.

I also found the book predictable perhaps because I listened to it straight after when can run.

I won't try anymore in this series as I suspect they all follow the same pattern so the identity of the criminal will never be a surprise.

Good suspense but poor narration

A great story with a realistic romance, somewhat ruined by poor narration. The female voices of this narrator were really irritating - she made her voice rise too high to distinguish from the male voices and it sounded like the female characters were children.

I would happily read another book by this author, but would probably avoid if it had the same narrator.
