Romance + Suspense = Awesome!

Wild Mountain Desire by Maura Burd is a great listen. I loved how the story flowed and was full of unexpected twists. Ashley Taylor was perfect bringing the characters to life. I could hear who was speaking, and could easily visualize so much. This is an awesome listen!

Unexpected suspense!

Shawna goes to visit her childhood friend Bev. But this visit is nothing as she expects it! Bev is not home, but Shawna is allowed to stay with the live in help. She meets Bev's brother Gerard who in not allowed at the house, and a mystery unravels. Not only do we have a romance between Gerard and Bev, but there is a story of deceit, lies and murder. It is not what I was expecting at all, and I love that! Maura Burd craftily wove it all together with surprising suspects, interesting characters and burning love story. It's exciting, thrilling and steamy! I love being kept on the edge til the very end. A big surprise!

Ashley Taylor's talent gives this story the edge. She uses her voices to add the element of suspense with the inflections of her voice, but more importantly, she had a way of using her acting ability to keep me guessing. Narration is tough since we can't see who the suspects are, and she was able to keep me wondering the entire time. I love her male and female voices, seamless transitions and all around pacing. A great performance.

Great audiobook!

This is such a different kind of story so I always appreciate that. I loved the plot and writing and the narration is great! Highly recommend!
