    Publisher's Summary:
    Love and Lists is the first book in the Chocolate Lovers spinoff - Chocoholics: The foul-mouthed offspring tell their stories. Twenty-five-year-old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn't stop talking about his penis. He's also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he's an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven't changed very much from when he was younger. When Gavin's best friend, Tyler, suggests he make a to-do list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin is 100 percent on board: after a few six packs. After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a sex-ed course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him. Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn't always the best idea.

    If you could sum up Love and Lists in three words, what would they be?
    Funny, Cute & Sweet
    What did you like best about this story?
    It was fun!
    What about James Fouhey and C.J. Bloom s performance did you like?
    They were both super great!
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    No Tears...but my fave scene was when Carter caught them in the kitchen....HILARIOUS!!!
    Any additional comments?
    This was super cute...but not as funny as the chocolate lovers series! This is grown up Gavin and Charlotte...they have been raised together...and are very mush attracted to one another...well things dont start so smoothly...but in the end it all works out...same great group of characters...and now grown up kids!!!! :)
    I RECOMMEND...SUPER FUN!!
    WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS IN PUBLIC.
    Any additional comments?
    If you dont want to look like the crazy person who has laugh-attacks in the middle of the street read this in the privacy of your house.
    Unless you want to be the crazy person who laughs alone in public, in that case: Go ahead. Go read this in a full bus or something.
    Light fun book!
    Not for the faint of heart or prudish but, good hearted, laugh out loud fun! The characters are very well developed with complete back stories and quirks! A pleasure to listen too.... Had to purchase books 2 & 2.5 before I finished chapter 1 of the first book!
    Another Fun Story
    Any additional comments?
    I loved the Seduction and Snacks series and each got funnier as it went along. This spinoff about Gavin and Charlotte did not disappoint. I liked their stories and it was a lot fun revisiting the gang. I especially liked having 2 different narrators for the male and female characters which made following the different POV's easier (my only complaint about the previous audiobooks was it was sometimes hard figuring out whose POV you were listening to at first).
    LOL!!!
    Tara Sivec's brand of humour was rip roaringly FUNNY in LOVE AND LISTS!!! I loved that Ms.

    New York Times & USA Today best-selling author!
    Dreaming of Alethea gave Jeremy Kater the strength to survive a difficult childhood. Now that he has influential friends who owe him some big favors, he's determined to become the kind of man Alethea would be interested in: rich and dangerous. Jeisa Borreto was hired to help Jeremy morph into that man. It's a job she would enjoy, if it weren't tearing her heart to pieces.
    How can she help him change once she's realized she's fallen in love with the man he's always been?
    Hint: Sleeping with him doesn't help.
    Members Reviews:
    Sometimes love is a lot closer than you think.
    Where does Rise of the Billionaire rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    It is one of my top favorites. Ruth Cardello has a way with writing her billionaires that draws you in and make you a part of the story.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Jeisa Borreto is my favorite, because she defied her father in order to step out on her own in the first place. Sure she got into some trouble, but it was brave of her to follow her heart and go to America to find her place in the world.
    Which character as performed by Kim Bubbs was your favorite?
    Once again, Jeisa Borreto, was my favorite. Though I miss the sound of real male voices, and sometimes she makes the women sound a little childish, Kim Bubbs has a way with accents that is truly enchanting. I don't know how she keeps all of them straight when she's reading through a book. She really is precise.
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    My favorite moment was when Jeremy appeared at Jeisa's office door, and they made up. That entire scene is wickedly erotic, romantic and sweet.
    Any additional comments?
    This was one of my favorite stories, because the author has a way of making even the background characters important enough to write love for them. She is a genuine talent and has a spicy romantic soul. Can't wait to see what she does next.
    Audible made Jeremy's Story even better
    What made the experience of listening to Rise of the Billionaire the most enjoyable?
    I love the sound of the story teller. I can hear the words clearly and understand them well.
    What did you like best about this story?
    I like how the story teller capture the emotion when she's reading the dialogue. It made the story felt more real for me.
    Have you listened to any of Kim Bubbss other performances before? How does this one compare?
    yes. I have a couple of other books from the same series by the same audible narrator. I really love the sound of her voice. Though I must say, the way she said the dialogues of the heroine in this novel sound a bit awkward for me. Maybe because she was trying to sound brazilian? I'm not really sure which but compared to her other audible narration, I find Jeisa's dialogues soundng a bit awkward.
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    The part where she was narrating the moment when Alethea messed up Jeremy's proposal. The emotions it held when I was listening to it was a bit more intense than when I was reading it.
    Any additional comments?
    So far, I can say that I truly enjoyed listening to Kim Bubbs.

    Members Reviews:
    DONT BLINK OR ITS OVER!
    Somehow I didn't know this book was all of 1 hour and a half, but in that short time, it was jam packed with action, humor, and hot lusty sex! It was good. For such a short story, the plot was sensible and kept me listening. If I'm being really honest, the hottie ex-Seal kept me glue to my headphones! I love a man that sees what he wants and goes for it! If the audio production was a bit better, I'd consider giving this 4-stars for sure. If this is on sale, totally worth it, otherwise, wait until there's a deal .
    Awesome!!
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Yes, I would recommend this book to my friends and family. I have read this book and also listened it in the audio version. I loved Hayden and Sierra's story, this book has it all romance, suspense, and very steamy.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of First Surrender?
    The most memorable moment of First Surrender was when Sierra got attacked at work. I loved how Hayden ran out to her and made sure that she was ok. I loved how Hayden finally admitted his feelings for Sierra.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    I had a couple favorite scene, the first one was when Sierra was looking for Hayden and she was told that he was on a date, she was upset when she saw Iris Christiansen, and Iris asked if she needed to kick Hayden's ass. I also loved when Hayden's brother told him to wait until next week to tell Sierra his feelings because there is a pool going around to when he finally admits it.
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    Suspense that is hot and steamy!
    Any additional comments?
    I loved Ryan Hudson's voice, I was able to listen and stay involved in the story. His voice is smooth and sexy and was very enjoyable to listen to. This is the first book in the Serafina: Sin City Series. It is a wonderful start to a fantastic series.
    Wonderful read but too short!
    I loved everything about this book. The characters are great. What I wish was that we had gone back a little and listened to some scenes with them when they were friends. Also why he was discharged from the military. I just needed a little more here. Otherwise great as always from this author.
    Loved it!
    Wishes it had been longer! It would have cool to have a longer back story for Hayden.
    Quick but good
    It was a short story but was enjoyable. The characters are well developed and fun. It makes you want to listen to more of Katie Reus books.

    Members Reviews:
    What kind of cliffhanger was that?!?!
    I liked the book but not the ending because to me there was no true ending. I cant even qualify this as a cliffhanger. Normally I genuinely love Abbi Glines but this book started getting on my nerves!! There were a few things about this book that I did not like. It wasn't that the storyline was bad but it was the relationship between the two leads that did not make sense to me. This is the first couple in the series I just didn't feel the connection with.
    Grant was a complete whorish douchbag! I just can't forgive him especially after the "twins".
    It was interesting to learn more about Harlow and why she was so secluded all the time. There were a lot of unexpected secrets in this story. I wish Harlow didn't give into Grant so easily.She should have made him work for it a little harder, a lot harder actually. However, I did enjoy Grant for his dirty mouth. The Rosemary Beach boys are really good at that.
    Abbi Glines definitely knows how to write some hot and dirty scenes and that's exactly what you get in Take A Chance. Along with the dramatic twists and turns (especially near the end), and the very alluring characters. I wil read the next book but I'm not sure if it will help endear me to Grant.
    GLINES TOOK A BIG CHANCE ON THIS ONE!!!
    I already knew I was going to have a hard time with this story because of the reviews, but I have really enjoyed the Rosemary Beach series, so far, and simply needed to keep going. So I recruited the help of a reading buddy to read/listen along with me so we could be a support group to one another...lol, Crazy right? Well, let me tell you that I needed that support throughout this book because about 20 minutes into it, it was an almost DNF. In fact, it was an almost DNF up until about 60% of the book.
    Glines really took a chance in writing Grant and Harlow's story because of Grant's tangled previous relationship with Harlow's half sister Nan (who is a bonafide biotch of the first degree). Harlow and Nan are half sisters and the daughters of rock star legend, Kiro, and along with that connection, there were so many relational aspects of this story that did not make sense to me.

    Great Story!
    I really enjoyed this book. It was my first by this author, who I met recently at a party at a friend's house. I got the two of her books available on audible & this was the first one I listened to.
    Although I knew it was a romance, the actual story line was unique and kept me captivated until the very end. I highly recommend it!
    Loved this story
    Would you listen to Cowboy Take Me Away again? Why?
    Yes. The story is captivating and I enjoy Susan Bennett's voice as narrator.
    What other book might you compare Cowboy Take Me Away to and why?
    I compare this book to one of Rachel Gibson's. Believeable characters and story line that evokes emotion.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    It was a flashback to the past and that described a key moment in Luke and Shannon's friendship.
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    Not sure about a tag line. I felt the title of this book didn't fit the story. It works, but to me, I'd have titled it something about cowboys and going for the ride of your life.
    Any additional comments?
    Really, really enjoyed this book and this writer's style. I actually read her second book first and fell in love with that one too.
    Fantastic Story
    If you could sum up Cowboy Take Me Away in three words, what would they be?
    I enjoyed this book so much. I am looking forward to more of her writing.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Scarlett Goodwin's world is divided into Before and After. Before she agreed to tutor Tucker Price, college junior Scarlett was introvert, struggling with her social anxiety disorder and determined to not end up living in a trailer park like her mother and her younger sister. A mathematics major, she goes to her classes, to her job in the tutoring lab, and then hides in the apartment she shares with her friend, Caroline.
    After junior Tucker Price, Southern University's star soccer player enters the equation, her carefully plotted life is thrown off its axis. Tucker's failing his required College Algebra class. With his eligibility is at risk, the university chancellor dangles an expensive piece of computer software for the math department if Scarlett agrees to privately tutor him. Tucker's bad boy, womanizer reputation makes Scarlett wary of any contact, let alone spending several hours a week in close proximity. But from her first encounter, she realizes Tucker isn't the person everyone else sees. He carries a mountain of secrets which she suspects hold the reason to his self-destructive behavior. But the deeper she delves into the cause of his pain, the deeper she gets sucked into his chaos.
    Will Scarlett find the happiness she's looking for, or will she be caught in Tucker's aftermath?
    Members Reviews:
    I really liked this one. Great NA
    Would you consider the audio edition of After Math to be better than the print version?
    I only listened to the audio and have not read the print version even though I own the print copy as well.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Tucker. There was more to him than he let the public see.
    What does Appelusa McGlynn bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Appelusa McGlynn did a nice job overall. At first her voice sounded nasally, but after while I got used to it. She did Tucker's voice very well.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    Yes, I would have listened to it in one sitting if I had the time. Any chance I got, I grabbed my iPhone and turned on Audibles.
    Any additional comments?
    This was a nice NA story. Yes, it was probably one that was done a hundred times, but I there was something about the characters and the writing that I really enjoyed.
    Scarlett has social anxiety. She is asked to tutor Tucker, the star soccer player at her university. Tucker has a reputation of getting what he wants when he wants it. At first Scarlett does not want to do it, but feels forced since it means money for the math department. Slowly, a friendship starts and I loved that this was not insta-love. I loved that the secrets that each character kept secret were NOT revealed until the very end and what was held until the end was necessary for the story. The scenes when they were training (Q&A) and would talk were my favorite. There was so much more to these characters than they showed to the public. I never read anything by Denise Swank before and I know after listening to AFTER MATH I will. I am not sure if I will read the next book in the series, REDESIGNED. It is about Scarlett's BFF, Caroline. I am not sure how I feel about Caroline. She had her own dating issues, but seemed to have to many opinions about Scarlett's. I know that Caroline was probably just overprotective of Scarlett, but sometimes her attitude annoyed me.

    No woman shall succeed in Salique land. Louis X is dead, poisoned, murdered, by the hand of Mahaut d'Artois. Her plan is simple - to clear the path to the throne for her son-in-law, Philippe. However, there is the small matter of Queen Clemence and her unborn child. As the country is thrown into turmoil, Philippe of Poitiers must use any means necessary to save his country from anarchy. However, how far is he willing to go to clear his path to the throne and become King in his own right?
    Critic Reviews:
    "This is the original Game of Thrones." (George R. R. Martin)
    Members Reviews:
    Great stories, acceptable narration
    Love the intrigue and conniving in these stories and maybe even a little bit of history? The narration is energetic but I feel every character was a stereotype, all the women sounded like whining hags, and sometimes the voices got confused. Still worth the listen
    Mahaut Continues To Be A Likeable Human Being.
    If you could sum up The Royal Succession in three words, what would they be?
    Power. Temptation. Ham.
    (The last of these being generously served up by the Artois duo, in their never-ending battle over that damned county.)
    What other book might you compare The Royal Succession to and why?
    Off the top of my head, the previous three books of the series.
    After that, and probably to the surprise of no one, George R. R. Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire. There are several differences however. I think the two biggest ones are that the characters here are less realized and that the universe is more chaotic, as Druon had to work around real events.
    Which character as performed by Peter Joyce was your favorite?
    Philippe The Tall. These books have several arcs going at the same time, but Philippe's increasingly hard choices is the main story of The Accursed Kings 4. Personally I found him the most sympathetic non-victim character in the book (either him or de Bouville). He lacks the petty self-absorption of most of the other characters, while still having kept his brains.
    Next is Robert of Artois, for entertainment value.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    It was.

Her father has another family which includes a mistress and a daughter. Determined to uncover the truth behind her father's secret life, Christine heads to Magdalena, prepared to hate the people who have caused her to question everything she thought she knew about her father. But what she finds is a woman who understands her, a half-sister who cherishes her, and a man who could love her if she'll let him. The longer she's around them, the more she questions which family is the real one

    Good premise
    I got this book on my Kindle, then bought the Whisper-snyc version. I liked the parts I read much more than the parts that I listened to, because the narrator's voices annoyed me.
    Scandal in the Family
    What made the experience of listening to A Family Affair the most enjoyable?
    The narrator was able to personify each person with a vocal range that brought to life the feelings of pain, hurt, sorrow and also the deep seated turmoil evident within the psyche of the main personalities.
    What did you like best about this story?
    Unconditional love, forgiveness, family interaction and also two sisters who met under difficult circumstances, but learned to love each other and gained acceptance because of their common heritage.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    Lily's reaction to meeting Christine was so heartwarming, she was so joyous as her longing to meet this sister she loved so much was finally a reality. Her dreams came true. This was my favourite moment.
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    There was so much heartbreak within this book, my heart was touched. But the melding of the love and joy this second family brought into the lives of the siblings made me smile and shed a few tears at the pathos of it all. It was amazing that Christine could become a part of the other family.
    Any additional comments?
    The characters were well developed and the story line was uncommon and gave a look into the hearts of people who vacillate and accept less than what they are worth. The author was able to bring some understanding of the why of the situations portrayed. The writing style kept the story interesting, too. To me, it was believable as similar stories have unfolded in real life.

    I love this book! I enjoyed the characters and the story line, it is a book I will listen to more then once. I loved learning more about the characters from past books in the series, and I look forward to the upcoming books on the other brothers. The book is funny, sweet, and a good clean Christian romance.
