Marked

Boys of Bishop Mountain, Book 1

By: Lexxi James

Narrated by: Samantha Summers, Drew Adams

Jess: Meet Mark Donovan. Ex-Army sniper. CEO of a multi-billion dollar global empire. Chiseled to the nth degree. And a man I want nothing to do with.

I know the type. Dangerous. Sexy. A bad-boy who fills out a Tom Ford suit or pair of Calvin's in equally drool-worthy ways. At his core, the worst kind of heartbreaker. The kind who doesn't even know he did it.

Mark: Eight years ago I nearly died. And it wasn't that I didn't remember her. I didn't recognize her. There's a difference.

She was a kid. And I was a soldier . . . Two seconds from deploying with her brother for our third, and final, tour. One I wasn't sure I'd be coming back from. She thinks I don't remember. That kiss was beautiful. Innocent. It kept me alive when I thought it might be my last. How could I ever forget?

I came back broken. Heartless. Ruthless. I grew rich beyond my wildest dreams by burying the best parts of myself. Who I was. What I'd been through. Killing away all the pieces of me that mattered . . . everything except that kiss.

So, shove me off all you want, country girl. Because you've just landed in my sights, and you're about to be mine.

Contains mature themes.

Great story…female narrator, not so much

I loved the story but the female narrator made me almost stop listening and not finish the book. Her voice is extremely slow and robotic. I had to speed it up to 1.9x so it would be at a normal pace but it still drove me crazy with the robotic-like pauses. Otherwise a good read!

FMC isn’t it

I don’t like to write unkind reviews but, I hope that the authors narrators get better after this book… The FMC reads in a achingly slow speed. I guarantee a 10 minute chapter could’ve been read in 5. The overly long annunciation of words, and we’re not talking random words here and there, we’re talking several words within almost every sentence made me so irritated, I had to speed up her chapters. Thank goodness for that feature or I would have probably not listened. The story line was good. Not my fav but it was decent.

Wonderful

This was a great book. I really enjoyed the narration. I highly recommend this book.

Loved this listen

First book by this author- loved the story and characters. Narration was excellent- again first listen from these narrators - loved both. Can’t wait for next book in this series.

Amazing!

Wasn't sure what to expect. Absolutely Love this book! Didn't want to put it down! I laughed out loud and I sobbed too. Highly Recommend! The audio was on point!

Awesome story

Could not put it down! Romance and comedy. I both laughed and cried! Held my interest, could not put it down!!!

Christopher Walken female narrator!

The story was great, male narrator was great but the female narrator was awful!! The pauses were so frustrating! She really did sound like Christopher Walken! Ugh!

Amazing

I love the storyline, and the characters. The best part about it was the family history, and everybody being on the same page.

The facts/storyline don’t add up

Ok book. But had a hard time with the attack/kidnapping… nothing comes of it for weeks. Just didn’t add up and was too unbelievable for me.?

Loved this story

The characters were amazing and came to life. I did not like the narration with the female narrator. The pauses were to much. I ended up speeding up the speed to try and speed her up. The story was full of pain and moments of funny scenes and celebrations. I keep cheering for sharpshooter. Jess, I loved but I got tired of her stubbornness at times. Funny thing though, I was eager for the next line, next chapter. That’s how I knew overall, it’s a page turner! Loved the HEA
