Romantic Comedy

Another funny romance with a couple of twists to make it entertaining. I like the way the author brings in strong secondary characters to add funny situations to the story. Charles Lawrence always adds to the story as well with his excellent narration.

CC Dallas and Elizabeth

These two sure are shaking up Henderson. I absolutely loved hearing this wonderful story brought to life by a phenomenal narrator!

another great book

I have loved this series since the very first book. It is a series full of great characters that keep you engaged in their stories. I look forward to each and every new book that comes out. It is a series I highly recommend.

Loved it!

Awesome story! I've been a fan of Liz Kelly for a long time now since I discover Good cap and I just could not stop reading. I just had to keep reading the series. There is always romance a lot of laughing and I just love reading about Vance and Pinks but now listening to the stories and how well Charles narrates the them and how he makes different voices for the different characters is awesome! I love it!

Love this series!

I just can't get enough of Henderson!!! I loved Crain And Tansy's story! I wasn't a huge fan of Tansy at first but this book changed my mind! Crain was seriously delicious! I love that even though this was focused on Crain and Tansy, that you get glimpses into the rest of the clan too!! That makes me super happy! I'm off to listen to the next book!!!

Doggone Good!

Would you consider the audio edition of Top Dog to be better than the print version?

Absolutely! I find myself concentrating on every single word and nuance when listening to the Audiobook version of a novel and I find it very entertaining to hear Charles Lawrence's portrayal of Crane and Elisabeth as well as my favorite character, Vance Evans.

What did you like best about this story?

I have to admit to loving the idea of a whirlwind romance and a wedding in Vegas. I would love to wake up married to Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome Crane Caraway. You can be sure I would never be a runaway wife like Tansy.

Which character – as performed by Charles Lawrence – was your favorite?

Vance is my favorite character because he's totally outrageous and Charles Lawrence's portrayal of Vance's deep, sexy voice is swoon-worthy and utterly delicious. Best line ever was "Tansy would never get down on her hands and knees and clean my balls" as spoken by Mr. Outrageous himself, Vance Evans.

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

My heart melted when Vance was comforting Tansy after Crane left Henderson. Because they have always been mortal enemies, I was especially touched by Vance holding and comforting Tansy while she sobs over Crane's desertion.

Any additional comments?

This entire series is a hoot. Who knew life in small town North Carolina could be so outrageously entertaining? Liz Kelly's storytelling and Charles Lawrence's narration are an unbeatable combination. I absolutely adore romantic comedy!

Great Series!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Heroes of Henderson series written by Liz Kelly and narrated by Charles Lawrence. Crain Carraway, Dallas business tycoon and sports fanatic, is not from Henderson. But his wife is. No one knows that though, because she managed to get cold feet after their impromptu Vegas wedding. Hiding out in her hometown, she's sicced her lawyer on him, doing her best to buy his silence and a quickie divorce.
Like hell. It's taken him way too long to find the perfect Mrs. Carraway, and now that he's had the fortuitous luck to stumble into Henderson and his bride, he's not about to let her go.

The narrator Charles Lawrence did a wonderful job with this book. He did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

Another great one

Well what fun would it be to live one Henderson . This group leaves you in stitches with all its antics ! Crain an Tansy got married then all goes side ways join the fun of trying to get it turned right with two headstrong moms in the mix . Get more Vance Brooks and Pinks as they are all along for the ride !

A Great Addition to the Henderson Heroes Series

What made the experience of listening to Top Dog the most enjoyable?

Charles Lawrence's southern accent added so much "flavor" to the listening. It gave the story such a "sit on the porch with a glass of tea" feel to it. As always hearing the book read out loud makes the story come alive and gives it more character.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Crain Caraway. He was such a Southern Gentleman and while he was an alpha male he wasn't overbearing with this. It also tugged on my heartstrings because of his lifelong issue with dyslexia and ADD. He never gave up when it came to his wife and did everything he could to make the situation work out.

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

He is excellent in this entire series. This is only narrations I've heard him do so far.

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

The ending of course where Crain did what he should have done in the first place.

Any additional comments?

Love this series!!!

Hero worship

Cudos to Liz Kelly for her endearing characters, sizzling scenes and romantic heart. I read this when it was first released and loved it, actually it made me crave pie throughout the whole book, but the excellent narration enhances the story even more. I wish I could move to her "Henderson". Can't wait for more!
