Title: 2113

Subtitle: Stories Inspired by the Music of Rush

Author: Kevin J. Anderson - editor, John McFetridge - editor

Narrator: Paul Boehmer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

The music of Rush, one of the most successful bands in music history, is filled with fantastic stories, evocative images, thought-provoking futures and pasts. In this anthology, notable, best-selling, and award-winning writers each chose a Rush song as the spark for a new story, drawing inspiration from the visionary trio Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart.

Enduring stark dystopian struggles or testing the limits of the human spirit, the characters populating 2113 find strength while searching for hope in a world that is repressive, dangerous, or just debilitatingly bland. Most of these tales are science fiction, but some are fantasies, thrillers, even edgy mainstream. Many of Rush's big hits are represented, as well as deeper cuts...with wonderful results. This anthology also includes the seminal stories that inspired the Rush classics "Red Barchetta" and "Roll the Bones", as well as Kevin J. Anderson's novella sequel to the groundbreaking Rush album 2112.

2113 contains stories by New York Times best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson, Michael Z. Williamson, David Alan Mack, David Farland, Dayton Ward, and Mercedes Lackey; award winners Fritz Leiber, John McFetridge, Steven Savile, Brad R. Torgersen, Ron Collins, David Niall Wilson, and Brian Hodge, as well as many other authors with their imaginations on fire.

Members Reviews:

I'm a RUSH fan, but ...no..not this book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I did recommend it but with a huge disclaimer that some of it was worse than listening to a golf-themed science fiction movie.

Would you be willing to try another book from Kevin J. Anderson - editor and John McFetridge - editor ? Why or why not?

do better next time and I will

Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul Boehmer?

uh...probably not

Could you see 2113 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

nope

Any additional comments?

There is a very good background story to part of this book dealing with Red Barchetta and I thought that was a great story in itself. I'll say that there was a lot of overly written stories here that didn't hit the mark but I'll leave it up to the personal tastes of others. Those more into Sci-Fi might enjoy this more, but look up the Red Barchetta story that is part of this book and it might just pull you in

Members Reviews:

Loved it!

I loved every word of this story! It had great emotion and lots of love.

I have read the series loved it, but not narrator

Would you listen to The Reckless Secret, Complete Series again? Why?

I have read the series and thought it would be good to listen to.. However, I could not finish listening to it. The narrator's voice was very robotic and her pauses were not natural. It was liked she paused while turning a page. It was also as if she couldn't connect with the main character and the emoting was forced.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved Declan's pursuit and his dedication to Maggie. He is swoon worthy. Both of these characters and the author's writing was the reason I decided to listen because I have already read the whole series.

What didnt you like about Madison Coyles performance?

She didn't mispronounce words... other than that I'm sorry but really nothing else.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh, but it was also when I read it, not listened.

Pretty darn good!!

I've not yet read this series from Alexa Wilder but I truly enjoyed it. The narrator was pretty good with voice changes from female to male tones. I do not think a male narrator was necessary for this story. I love how the entire series (3 books) are included in this audio. I would recommend this listen to my fellow audio junkies!! LOL

The reckless Secret - Alexa Wilder

Your first book on audio... I just loved it so much...can't wait for the next series ... Bring them on and fast can't wait ... Thank you so enjoyed the story

Really a bomb

While there were a couple of stories worth a listen, most were poorly written and embarrassingly portrayed. The final story was so bad (and we were stuck in our car out of range) that we got into the campy awfulness of it.

Publisher's Summary:

Volume 16 in the New York Times best-selling Arrangement serials.

I've gone from a future of possibilities to nothing in a single gunshot. Homeless, penniless, and without the man I love, my hopelessness overwhelms me, and I seek unexpected comfort from people long absent in my life. I can't lose Sean - not now, not ever - and I'll do anything to get him back, even if it means using myself as bait.

Members Reviews:

OMG Ferro-palooza :)

Gosh despite Sean being Sean, Avery knows him pretty well. Those two just fit together and seriously AR15 had me screaming. These two characters put up a good act but there is sooooo much vulnerability and I love it even if I wanna pull my hair or their hair out at times. But seriously Ferro galore? Yummmm. If you love the Ferro's which I hope you do since you are now getting to Arrangement 16. Again so many things going on but so worth the read! Pick it up and you won't be disappointed. I don't want to have this end but I do :) My heart can't take it!

A M A Z I N G - W O N D E R F U L - C A P T I V A T I N G

I've told all my friends so may as well tell the world... HM Ward is by far the only author that can keep me so consumed in her writing that I don't hear, see or think of anything but what I'm reading. The Arrangement series kept me so enthralled and wanting more after every single page! It's probably pointless to write this on #16 because if you came this far... you will NEVER want to stop! I'll bet you have read all her other series as well, and if you haven't... you are missing out on complete AWESOMENESS!!! A true fan for life

Best one yet!

Loved Loved Loved it! So many Ferro's at once! Finally feel like we are getting somewhere here! I am looking forward to the rest of the story to unfold!

AMAZING !!!

I'm completely hooked! All the books in this series are amazing but this one hands down the best one.H.M Ward has you on the edge of your seat screaming for more.It keeps getting better and better. I highly recommend this book and author.

She's done it again!

I love this series. I love how Holly has put the twists and turns in this book. I have the privilege of reading the ARC copy of this book and I loved the fact that Holly has brought in Marty and Mel more. I also think that somehow Mrs. Ferro, Miss Black, Marty and Mel are all in this morphing story. I love that Sean is still with Avery. I hope that it will come out what really happened with Amanda. I can't wait for the next book in this massive series! Thank you Holly!

Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-15

Publisher: Latin Goddess Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook contains three standalone stories about BBW and their bear shifter loves. They have all been previously published individually.

Fur-Bidden

Penelope Medina has stage fright the size of Texas. So when her boss signs her and her friends up for a bachelorette auction for their non-profit, this curvy girl is ready to quit - except, she loves her job. Good thing she can arrange it so that her assistant will buy her. Easy peasy...or not.

Fur-Gotten

Karina Roma is a dare-devil, curvy woman who fell hard for a sexy, rich bear shifter. Too bad the relationship was one-sided. The only thing she has going in her life is her job and her friends. When her boss signs her and her friends up for a bachelorette auction, this curvy girl is ready to quit, but her friends talk some sense into her. How hard can it be to get on stage and strut her stuff for charity?

Fur-Given

Julie Durante loves every single one of her curves. So when she met a hot-as-heck bear shifter who loved them, too, she was more than happy - for a little while. A year after their breakup, she finds herself on the stage, being auctioned off and bought by the grouchy bear. Things couldn't get worse, right? Wrong.

Note: These stories contain some scorching hot sex. If you have problems with low down dirty hanky-panky, you might want to skip this one. However, if you like bears who can't get enough of their curvy women and some cheeky humor, this is the set for you. Enjoy.

Members Reviews:

one outstanding book

narrator will have you listening as she changes her voice for each person. The passion in this book was what I call away to grip your attention and you until the end and wanting to continue to the rest of the series.

Wonderful lusty stories of bear brothers get love!

Milly gives us more lusty hot stories of BBW women & brother bear shifters that had separated a year earlier. The brothers plot to get their women back & solve relationship problems. Wish life was that simple. This is a wonderful collection of stories.. Where can I get a bear shifter??

Narrator is terrible, high squeaky voice, makes the characters obnoxious

The books themselves were awesome stories. It literally took me effort to finish listening over the span of a month because of Lauren Sweet. Very pitchy and the characters are all valley girl. Seriouly, just buy the kindle book and read it under your desk while you're at work. Don't waste your money on the audio book.

Love it

Hot hot and hot the storyline was super good! I be waiting for more like these ones in the near future.

The three bears

Three brothers fighting for their mates. Love that they all talk so dirty and love hard.

We Need to Rethink Our Interactions

I have been a fan of Todd Dewett for a couple of years. This book, however, really made me think, laugh, and make decisions on how to lead my team (and, more importantly, what NOT to do!). This is a must read for managers, team leads, and others on how to interact with co-workers! What an eye-opener! Especially the chapter on crying in front of people...I have always been so guarded in my professional space (as, apparently, Todd was as well!), and the thought of bringing in personal thoughts and preferences...I know it sounds stupid and obvious, but I think this would be a big win for any organization!

Excellent and Insightful

I absolutely loved this book. Is rare to find someone who writes with such clarity that you feel smarter whilst reading and Todd certainly achieves that.

Although he has spent time as an academic this is no dry academic tome. No this is a lively vibrant book, packed with great insights that will help to make you a better leader.

Fully recommended 5 stars, i wish it was possible to give 6!

Such a great story teller

Todd Dewett really put his genuine self out there in SHOW YOUR INK. I love the prompts after each story that encouraged me to think about ways that I can show my "ink" to build genuine personal and professional relationships. Favorite story: Orange jumpsuit.

Five Stars

Great read

Five Stars

Enjoyable read, each chapter is a story that illustrates lessons in leadership.

Title: A Lord Rotheby's Influence Bundle

Author: Catherine Gayle

Narrator: Pearl Hewitt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-12-15

Publisher: Catherine Gayle

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

This first three full novels in Catherine Gayle's Lord Rotheby's Influence series....

Twice a Rake

When Aurora Hyatt loses her journal in Hyde Park, her ruin is a foregone conclusion. If anyone discovers her writings, they'll find scandalous fantasies involving the newest rake in town alongside entirely-too-candid thoughts about her typical dreary suitors. Aurora will either be forced into a loveless marriage with the first nodcock to make an offer, or she'll be assigned a permanent position on the shelf. What catastrophe will God smote down upon her next?

Saving Grace

The blasted man will not stop following her. Well, he isn't following her...not exactly. They are just always thrown together, and he's everything she wants but can't have. It is downright infuriating - especially when he kisses her.

Merely a Miss

Miss Jane Matthews feels completely out of place amongst the finery of the ton. She's the daughter of a country vicar, for goodness sake, and nearly a spinster to boot. But when her distant cousin - a dowager duchess, of all people - offers to sponsor her for a season in London, she agrees, but only so she can search for a storefront for her business. Perhaps, in that regard the season won't all be in vain.

Members Reviews:

Only enjoyed one of the 3

I should have stuck with the one I had. I bought the bundle thinking the other 2 being included would make for a great listen. Wrong the first book was slow going, couldn't finish the second because it was just the type of over wrought soulful story I detest. Since I already had the last one there it ended for me.

I'm sadly disappointed & feel depressed because I looked forward to a complete series.

Now to be fair it was my fault not to check story lines a lot of people live for personal drama in their reads. I am more a thriller mystery suspenseful regency era with strong leads & good support characters.

Title: Night Mission

Subtitle: Seven WWII-Era Stories

Author: Clive Lodge

Narrator: Alastair Cameron

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-03-15

Publisher: Lesley Lodge

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

"Night Mission", with its burning plane, heroism, and greed, was - like the other six short stories in this collection - inspired by Clive Lodge's experiences in World War II and the decade after. "There's No Scar Now" - with its gripping opener, "I killed John James Beresford", is set in Kent and draws on his experience in the Home Guard before he enlisted in the RAF. "The Tunnel", by contrast, is set in peacetime, some years after the war, but reveals how unpunished atrocities of war can haunt a person.

Clive's stories are very much of their time and they reflect the thinking and values of those years. "Something She Said", for example, is about physical passion but the attitude towards premarital sex - and therefore the logic of its twist - would be almost incomprehensible to, say, today's teenagers in the UK.

In all seven of these stories, the detail and atmosphere evoked will take you back to those days of the War and just after.

Hard to hear

It's really hard to hear

Great story overall but the sound quality could be a lot better
