bad narration

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I couldn't get past 15 min. of listening. I have no idea if the story was good or not, the narrator read the male parts like a robot in a trance. Stopped listening and plan to return it.

Editorial Reviews:

Let yourself be swept away by the heat of Deborah Camp's sensual Fire Lily, performed with flair by actor Luci Christian Bell, who flings herself fully into the world of Lily Meeker as she finds herself thrown completely for a loop by - you guessed it - tall, dark, and handsome clairvoyant Griffon.

This searing romance with a mystical, magical twist is pure escapist fantasy, a delicious treat made even tastier by Bell's skilled performance, especially her strong sense of timing and empathetic, emotive intonations. Take some time off for yourself and enjoy this ride...you won't regret it!

Fabulous Narrator

Would you listen to Fire Lily again? Why?

Just so you know . . . I wrote this book, so you can ignore my five star review on the story. Of course, I like it! But I wanted to review the performance of Luci Christian Bell. Wow! She is absolutely terrific! She made Griffin Goforth sound so freaking sexy that it was like hearing a book that I hadn't even written! She has quite a task in this book, calling upon several different accents -- Scottish, English, French, hill country hicks, etc. and she does every single accent and voice and inflection perfectly.

I so admire the talented narrators hired by Audible. Yes, some are much better than others, and Luci Christian Bell is one of the very best.

If you like to hear stories of mystery, intrigue, magic, and wanton love, then have a listen and enjoy the expertise of Ms. Bell!

Thanks, Luci. You did me proud.

What other book might you compare Fire Lily to and why?

Primrose is also well done. Good narrator.

What about Luci Christian Bells performance did you like?

She is so awesomely talented! A real actress.

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

There were several. I loved the way Griffin talked and seduced LIly.

Any additional comments?

Thanks, Audible!

Just not up to suffering 25 hours of this

The author of this book wrote a review talking about a fabulous narrator for her five star book. In both cases, a total falsehood. The narrator has a perfect valley girl voice, and if she makes Griffon Goforth sound 'freakin sexy' I am an elephant with five legs. Despite this, I tolerated an hour before realizing that the book wasn't worth the suffering. In that case I guess the horrible narrator was equal with a very limited author.

HEADLINE READS: SERIAL NARRATOR KILLS ANOTHER BOOK

This is one of those books that would have been a totally different listen had the narrator's voices of the characters of Lord Guy Darrington and his friend Davey sounded stuck-up, smug, aggressive and hard so I just couldn't relate to him at all and this sadly reflects my 3 star rating of what could have been a 5 star book.

The plot was interesting, it had murder, theft, double crossings and there were sex scenes but these weren't very descriptive (may or may not put you off) but because of the narration nothing warmed me to their plight. Therefore, instead of leaving me savouring, reminiscing and mulling over the ending of a good listen (you know how a good one gets you) it left me empty and gladly anticipating my next listen.

Worth a credit? For me it's sadly a NO until it's re-narrated, but I did think the actual story was ok.

The Highlander's Time

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I did not like the narrator's scottish accent, nor did I like her heroin's voice.

What that h...???

Would you try another book from Belladonna Bordeaux and/or Leagh Bochannon?

No... the story felt like it was only fragments of a book... a lot was missing

Has The Highlander's Time turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I like historical romance, just not this one

How did the narrator detract from the book?

the room/studio this was recorded in was awful. It didn't sound professional a all

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Highlander's Time?

Non... I would have put more scenes in it... A lot was missing in this story

Painful to listen to

Initially, I was intrigued by the storyline. It's not a long audiobook, but it was too painful for me to continue after one hour. The narrator's voice and strange american-wannabe-scottish accent put me off a bit in the first place. However, the worst thing was the monotone voice, it seemed to me she is reading a technical instruction manual rather than a story.

Title: Stranger at Plantation Inn

Author: Jennifer Blake

Narrator: Andi Arndt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-16-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Lillian Newton was not the only stranger at Plantation Inn. The heavy rains that had flooded the river and forced her to seek refuge at the old stage-stop had driven others to the sanctuary as well. At first, Lillian paid scant attention to the rest of the group. But soon she sensed a tension in the atmosphere. Rumors of an escaped killer - an outlaw whose vicious deeds had terrorized the countryside - spread a chill blanket of uneasiness over the charming old house. Then things began to happen: the stalking shadow glimpsed through the trees, the cat whose throat had been cut, the mysterious crying of an infant....

Lillian was suddenly suspicious of everyone. Especially the handsome young Frenchman Jean Marsh, whose arrogant manner aroused a curious inner fury that she could not define. Lillian was certain now that the killer was among them. But which one? And how long before he would strike again?

She just had to convince a certain someone as well as herself that a wedding could be the beginning of some adventures instead of the end of them.

Members Reviews:

Not impressed

What disappointed you about Courting Constance?

The wooden recitation of this story made me stop listening before the first hour was finished. The heroine was not likeable at all...wasted a credit on what at first blush looked promising.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Next listen will be a better known novelist and narrator

Would you be willing to try another one of Mary F. Dominiaks performances?

No way

Title: A Sensible Match

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

How do you thwart well meaning, but relentless, matchmaking parents without getting caught?

Abby's perfect solution was to try too hard to chase down and please her equally reluctant counterpart, the new vicar of Midland. Lord Edwin Chappell was certainly startled by her performance but too smart to be taken in by Abby's act. Just as she was showing him that she was anything but the perfect vicar's wife, he was trying to prove that her idea of a vicar was quite as far fetched.

After a humorous battle of wits and wills between the young couple, tragic events lead the matchmaking parents to stand against the match just when Abby and Edwin are falling in love. Now, the couple must decide to obey the time-honored dictates of their respective families or follow the path they believe God has now chosen for them.

Members Reviews:

Great Read

Everyone believes that Abby and Edwin's marriage is sensible, everyone except Abby and Edwin.

Abby lives in the shadow of her younger sister, Constance. Though both women are reasonably attractive, Abby is very shy and has never been very popular with the young men of her village. In contrast, Constance is flirtatious and the center of attention wherever she goes. Abby's mother decides that Abby will never find a husband on her own, so she arranges a match with Edwin, the son of an old friend. Abby is mortified at the thought of having an arranged marriage and decides she won't have to marry Edwin if he never proposes. She endeavors to drive Edwin away, but isn't entirely successful.

Edwin, as the youngest son, won't inherit the family estate, but will serve as a vicar in a country church. Since he is to take over the church in Abby's village, his mother decides a marriage with Abby will be perfect. Like Abby, Edwin isn't thrilled with the prospect of an arranged marriage, but he agrees to at least meet Abby. When Abby and Edwin meet, neither are what the other expected. As they spend more time together, they find they have more in common then they first imagined. Just as they begin to fall in love, tragedy strikes both families in very different ways. Will Abby and Edwin trust in God's plan for them, or will they let pride tear them apart forever?

Abby is a wonderful heroine. As the older daughter, Abby is torn between fulfilling her own wishes, living up to her parents' expectations, and discerning God's plan for her life. If that weren't enough, she also feels responsible for her younger sister and tries hard to set a good example. While Abby isn't facing a war or anything on such a large scale, her problems are very real. I feel that Abby's struggle to balance all the facets of her life and solve her everyday problems make her a very relatable character. Abby was also a very shy woman, but this should not be mistaken for weakness. Though Abby is awkward in social situations, she displays enormous amounts of courage and strength when the people she loves need her.

Edwin is a very solid hero. Like Abby, he is loyal to his friends and family. Though his family decided that he was to become a vicar, he genuinely feels that he has a calling to serve God in that way. He isn't simply looking for a comfortable situation. His desire to do God's work is sincere. Though Edwin is eager to serve God, he isn't so eager to marry Abby as everyone seems to expect.

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Dear Listener:

Jade Star, the final novel of the Star series, first appeared in May 1987. I havent rewritten this novel; its just wearing nice new clothes.

Saint Morris has always been my favorite character among all the wonderful San Francisco men. He is fascinating, honorable, and sexy the perfect hero. Saint first meets Juliana DuPres on the island of Maui when he is a very young doctor, just landed off of a whaler, and she is the 13-year-old daughter of an impossibly puritanical minister. When he leaves Maui, he takes the girls heart with him.

When Saint sees Juliana again, it is six years later, and she is being sold in a slave auction in San Francisco. He saves her, then returns her to her parents in Maui.

But there is no welcome home for Juliana. She is an outcast, reviled by her family, considered no better than a prostitute. What is Saint to do? He does what any honorable man would do he marries her and takes her back to San Francisco. He likes to think of himself as her protector and her brother. Juliana has other ideas. Now their adventures begin.

In Jade Star you will see again the full cast of characters from the other San Francisco novels. I do hope youll write and tell me which are your favorites.

Very similar to other books in the series

It was very simlar to the other books in the series which basically have the same plot. Boy meets girl, boy thinks girls is a shday but then protects her, she loves him, he realizes he loves her and the admit thier love in the last few pages. Not worth the $8 for the kindle edition. I've read worse books and these aren't that bad. The book has been in circulation for several decades so it should be less than $2 for the kindle edition. This is very similar to the other books in the series and to other books written by Catherine Coulter.

really good.

The "Star" series, by Catherine Coulter is really, really good.

Five Stars

Loved the author and book.

Saint and Jules

This is one of my favorite of the star series. My favorite was the Wild Star. I read that one first. If I had read Evening Star first, I would not have read the series.

Jade Star was a good conclusion the series, only you were left wondering if Saint and Jules have a baby.

The introduction of Thomas was a good move. Great ending for him

... appear in the previous books and it is a nice follow up - meeting the same characters further on ...

The personalities appear in the previous books and it is a nice follow up - meeting the same characters further on in their lives and own stories.

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable but just a bit slow.

Disgraced second son of a Duke, Robert finds work as a gamekeeper on an estate - there he meets stammering Frederica and their love story begins. I'm a sucker for anything with a 'Rake' in it but I just don't know how I feel about this book, it had romance, a fair plot and some undesirable characters but I listened to it on double speed to get through it.

Yes I enjoyed it, but I found the story just a bit too slow once they 'succumbed' to their desires.

More than a Mistress is Book 2.

The mysterious woman shares Leo's interest, even if she won't trust him with her true identity. He should expose her at once, but he's too tempted to play along and see where her deceptionand their passionwill lead....

Members Reviews:

Unbelievable plot and soooo far fetched!

Katrina, a struggling seamstress, switches places as a favour and impersonates her childhood friend Julia, who is now a popular outgoing Marchioness, for a week's house party and supposedly no-one is going to notice!! The other guests meet the true Marchioness regularly at balls and house parties but they don't notice any difference (despite Katrina being taller, quieter and having different colour eyes and hair) - then throw in Julia's husband and at least 2 ex lovers and they don't notice she's an impostor either - AS IF !!. Even, after she beds Leo, and she realises things have gone terribly wrong, he confronts her and begs her to tell all so he can help her but she says 'she just can't because she's 'promised'.

I usually like period romances but I found this one so frustrating, it had me rolling my eyes to the ceiling and saying "OH PLEASE!".

I doubled the speed to get to the end so it wasn't a 'I can't listen to anymore' type book but given a chance again I definitely wouldn't buy it and I certainly wouldn't waste my time listening to it again.

Credit worthy - NO NO NO but if you've got an I.Q. of 10 ....then go ahead you'll enjoy it..
