The Courtship Maneuver Complete Series

De: Ivy Layne

Narrado por: Madison Coyle

Chloe Henson is in love with her boss. Completely, totally, head over heels in love. She knows he doesn't feel the same way - she doesn't expect him to. Sam Logan is successful and wealthy, and he only dates supermodels. When he could have any woman in Las Vegas, why would he want his shy, abundantly curvy assistant? Determined to ignore her heart, Chloe puts her feelings on hold. But when her brother disappears, and she ends up in the crosshairs of the Russian mob, she has nowhere to turn. Except to Sam.

Sam Logan has a problem. He has a thing for his assistant, but he knows he can't act on it. Chloe's the best assistant he's ever had, and over the three years they've worked together, she's become his best friend. Chloe is so shy, he knows one wrong move will send her running. When her irresponsible brother rips off a mob boss and vanishes, Chloe is in danger, and Sam's tired of waiting to make his move. The best way to keep her safe is to make her his. But with bullets flying and betrayal around every corner, can Sam convince Chloe that this is more than just a fling?

Potential to be Great

The story is good; very good in fact. But the narration is lacking. The narrator is not very good, and a male narrator is needed for the male chapters. I’d still recommend the book because of the story. If this were reread with two good narrators it would be awesome.

Narrator

The story was pretty good but as read by this particular narrator it lost a lot of its appeal. It was difficult to tell which character was “speaking”, the intonations were bland, and it took a lot of patience to endure this story. You should probably have both male and female narrators to read this story and release it again.
Madison just needs more practice before she ventures into any more romance novels.

the Courtship Maneuver

I really enjoyed the story. I am a big fan of this author. I wasn't as impressed with the narrator for this book. she has a nice voice but not the deep and intense inflection required for an alpha male.

Need a males voice

I think it needs a males voice. The woman’s voice is not a good performance

The Courtship

This is a very interesting and exciting story. But I'm not a fan of a woman who seems so dense about life. overall I did like this book. I enjoyed the other books in this series immensity more

Male narrator was awful- was it a woman?

The male narrator for this book sounded like a woman’s attempt to have a deeper, male voice. The male recording had a bit of an echo tone to it. Hard to listen to the male narrator compared to other Ivy Layne books. Took away from the story. Not believable.

Good story, Horrible Narrator

I couldn't finish. Narrator was awful. Got the book instead. I really enjoy the series, just lose this narrator!

Good story

I wasn’t crazy about the woman who read the book. The story was good. Glad it had a happy ending!
