I listen to a ton of audio books and this narration was fantastic! It was so natural!
The little laughs, the sighs, the sniffles, the Australian accent and change of tone to do the male voices....ugh! it was simply fantastic!
Great job with the narration, Charlotte North and Great story, Max Monroe!
As if I haven't loved every Max Monroe book... this one was another winner!
Now, to jump directly into Ollie's story!

great story, as always

Reviewed: 10-12-20

great story but Stephanie's narration drove me nuts! Every sentence was read like she was Marilyn Monroe (maybe she confused Max Monroe with Marilyn) stressing the first word, or even every other word, like it was the most over exaggerated, sexual sentence ever written. It was distracting and just drove me nuts!
I enjoyed Tim's narration. He's always pretty solid.
The story is yet another great story by Max Monroe! I laughed, I cried, I swooned!
I want to be a part of Thatcher's Book Club and I can't wait for poor Cap to get his wedding!
So much fun!

J.S. Scott does it again!

Reviewed: 09-17-20

I love J. S. Scott books. There's always struggles to overcome, bossy alpha males and a HEA!
I love the fact that all of her characters have depth. Yes, they are billionaires, but they work hard for what they have and some of them are new to the billionaire status.
I love the fact that all of her characters have honor and integrity.
Hudson is another example of that. Hudson Montgomery is an Ex-Delta Force Special teams officer who, along with his brothers, formed a rescue team that, after many missions, has finally placed his perfect match in his life.
Brilliant Geologist, Taylor Delaney, has never had an easy life. A tragic childhood and losing the only person who had ever really cared about her made her the determined, strong woman she has become. Yet all the determination in the world can't make someone not feel lonely. Only Hudson can change that for Taylor.
I think the thing that I really questioned with this book was the fact that Taylor didn't have the skittishness that *I thought* she should have. I realize that everyone would handle things differently but I was glad to have that addressed a little more as the story went on.
Still not as much as I would have liked, but it was better.
I feel like the story got to a certain point and I just wanted it to slow down . To give me more. But I did really enjoy this story!
The narrators did a great job. I love the tone of Brian's voice and Elizabeth always does a good job. Her voice is easy to listen to.
I listen to so many books on audio that I'm starting to wish that narrators that read all the books for an author start to sound the same.... as in the cadence if their speech patterns. Everyone speaks in a different cadence and inflection pattern naturally so I understand that every narrator is automatically going to read in their own natural patterns, it would just make it feel like the perspective of a new character if the narrators were switched up once in a while or the narrator tried to change up their characterization a little more in each new book. I totally understand how much work that would be for the narrators and I'm not going to stop listening to audiobooks.... it's just something I notice.
Overall, I totally enjoyed Hudson & Taylor's story and I can't wait for Jax &.... well, I won't give that away! I'm just sure it'll be another great J. S. Scott read!
I purchased the ebook but this audio was given to me for an honest review.

The story is typical Susan Stoker... which I totally enjoy.

The narrator is good, but there needs to be bigger pauses between the change in character POV or the next scene or the next chapter, because it flowed all together. It was hard to pay attention in keep everything clear to follow the story. That's more of a formatting or technical rather than an issue with the narrator or the story.

Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt Sing!

Reviewed: 07-13-19

I was really not into this book when I first started it, but I'm so glad I went back to it! I couldn't get the smile off my face away the end! the old crooner songs.... BEING SUNG.... was just such an awesome way that Lauren Blakely shows what a leader she is in bringing her audio books to life.

The story was sweet, then interesting and so very true for a lot of women and very refreshing to have the issue faced head on!

All in all, I'm very glad I went back to listen!
I loved hearing Andi and Jason sing and how the music and lyrics really spoke of their relationship! Music is like that!

Hilarious, fantastic story!

Reviewed: 04-08-19

I was hooked on this book from just reading the sample. it wasn't out on audio, so I first read it book on ebook but I am mostly an audio reader. I often own the ebook and the audio, so when this book came out on audio, I snatched it up! I was immediately disappointed because I've watched the author on Facebook live videos and LOVE her very southern accent and read the whole book with that very accent, thick southern, as Penelope's voice and the narrator (Samantha) didn't use a southern accent at all.
I refused to listen to it.
Then, this weekend, I went on a girl's trip and we chose this book to listen to. I sucked it up, knowing I would be frustrated, but one of our friends had not read it yet. The story really is awesome and we laughed ourselves stupid all the way to Cincinnati, Ohio and back. I found myself setting my disappointment aside and just loved listening to this story all over again.
I'm still extremely disappointed that Penelope was not read with a thick Southern accent, especially when the narrator used a little twang when reading Penelope's mom and it was good, but I still absolutely LOVE this story! I gifted an ebook copy of it to my secretary and a very dear friend who just really needed to laugh and we are all waiting desperately for Cam and Emily.
Though a miss on the lack of accent, the narrator did do a wonderful job! I have absolutely no idea how she could read this book without laughing!
Great job, Kim Jones! Great job!

TRILOGY HANGOVER!!!!

Reviewed: 03-13-19

Meghan March will blow your mind and change your standards for what an AWESOME book is!!!

Jericho and Indy face not only stormy seas, but a full on tsunami as they learn what it is to have someone they can trust and love. Someone that will fight for “them” as much as they’re willing to fight for all that they have. For Indy, it’s about survival and desperation and for Jericho, it’s about being so powerful that no one can ever beat him down again.

This trilogy will leave you breathless in many ways. The passion that burns between Jericho and Indy is incendiary and the mystery of their pasts and secrets of their present will have you forgoing sleep to see what happens next. (I don’t think it was only me who didn’t sleep once the Forge Trilogy hit my Kindle!) The question of who is loyal, and who is not, plagues this couple throughout their whole story! Lies from a past that they didn’t even know existed and the desperation to succeed drives this couple on a journey of epic proportion and takes the reader into a world of fortune, high stakes and joy beyond measure!

I don’t always do this, but since I couldn’t wait for the audio book to release, I read the ebook in a matter of hours (namely the hours between midnight and when I finished…no, I didn’t sleep…LOL) and then, the very next day listened to the audio version. To say that I was completely immersed in the Forge world, is an understatement!

Joe Arden and Erin Mallon ARE AMAZING with this whole trilogy! Erin Mallon’s Russian accents, panic and desperate tones give Indy such emotion that it allows the listener to just get lost in this amazing story! Erin’s male voice tone and Joe’s strong delivery make this story seamless. I would imagine it must be a lot of fun to have such RICH characters to portray in audio, but believe me when I say that Erin and Joe add their own level of richness and fullness to the characters as much as Meghan did when she wrote them!

Tanya and Zachary did an excellent job... as usual!

The level of crazy was the ad expected and really, Julia nailed the trials and tribulations that women go through during pregnancy!

What a giggle!

I can't wait for more!

sob fest!

Reviewed: 12-15-18

Devney Perry pulled out all the emotional stops with this one!
This beautiful, gut wrenching, thought provoking story has twists and turns, sorrow and joy, big giggles and wracking sobs!
The heartache that Poppy lives with is felt in every page, until, like with her selfies, you begin to feel her healing.
If you've never read any of Devney's books... start now! Every word of hers that I've ever read had touched my heart and soul!
