Major plot point dropped

Four readers gave this 5 stars. I'm only giving it two.

OK, I realize this is not serious literature, it's paranormal porn. And I read it in that spirit. Guilty pleasure and all that. BUT, when Robert the reluctant Beta does a computer search and discovers who called the Slayer down on their vampire mentor Daedelaus any good reader would want to know who did call the slayer. No answer is forthcoming. The computer search is restarted because Robert does not think the answer is correct and we never hear from that plot point again. A major irritation to me.

Who edited this? Isn't an good editor supposed to notice things like this and ask the writer to correct the problem?

I'll still continue to pick up sexy shifter reading material, but not sure if it will ever be from this particular writer.

the beata (the vanguard)

the bata robert has to watch over vasi werewolf pack while his alpha is on his honey moon and he hates it,he bompted into a girl name ester who picks his pocket and when he realizes it he trails her to get it back,only to realize she is trying to kill daedalus and she is a hired assain but by accident she shoots robert,and was really up set because she liked him,she tried to help him and almost got her self killed by daedalusso they got yht arrow out and helped him,robert didn`t want her hurt cause he also liket her,so they took him home,

and a lot thing transpired in there vasi family

Wonderful

This was a good book, again short but good! I kinda wanted for it to be more of Eric and Spice. Also was happy that Robert found his mate. Hoping to hear of Sugar and Deadalus since they are kinda having problems in their relationship becasue of him wanting her to turn. And who was the one behind wanting deadalus dead?? So is there going to be a 4th book?

Five Stars

nice story line

JenZ

As a second in a series it is as good as the first!!! When this Alpha is at his end only a little spice can bring him to his knees. I loved the way they have to get to their climax. It make you believe in dreams coming true no matter how lone it may take.

Book 1 - Somewhere in Time

Book 2 - Tomorrow & Always

Book 3 - Destiny's Child

It's not every day a woman goes traveling through time.

Dakota Wylie is a wisecracking, unemployed, overweight psychic librarian from Princeton.Patrick Devane is an angry, hard-headed spy with a six-year-old daughter who hears voices.

The only thing they have in common is New Jersey.

But when Dakota leaps from the basket of a hot air balloon to help his crying child, little does she know that she's leaping into history...and love.

"Wonderful wit, a feisty heroine, a gifted child, and great glimpses of friends from the past combine to make magic!" (

Romantic Times)

"A monumental talent." (

Affaire de Coeur)

"Very few romance writers create characters as well-developed as Bretton's. Her books pull you in and don't let you leave until the last word is read." (

Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Worse narration..If that's possible..

Any additional comments?

I read/listened to the other two books but was a little hesitant about buying this one, and I was right. As I said in my other review I live in the real world and I read to get out that world, so I really don't want overweight heroines, what the author described as an ugly six year old and a horrible hero. So, yes, I was disappointed. She spent too much time comparing food to every situation and talking of her weight. AND no child should ever be referred to as ugly by everyone in the house, I don't care what era it's in. There was explicit sex but there was no real sexual tension between Patrick and Dakota, which ruins the sex, as far as I'm concerned.

As much as I like time travel I doubt if I'd ever read another time travel from this author, if she writes one.

As to the narrator: Ms. Hegarty seemed to get worse instead of better. She really didn't even try the make the men sound like men and has no emotions whatsoever. I'm so done with this narrator.

VERY Disappointed that the story ended... :)

I would love to see this series extended about 10 more books. I think there are enough characters that could take a ride and I would live to see Jenny in the flesh within Dakota's new time... at least for a visit.

Entertaining

Pretty entertaining , but the author overused phrases like " Brooked no Argument " . And the little girl in the story is constantly called "the child" - over and over - instead of the little girl , or girl, daughter , etc. Frustrating .

All Aboard!! Let's Travel

This is the second book in the series. It could stand alone but I think reading book one would give you some background to Ellie Robert, and Stephen. Danny arrives via train just as Ellie had a few years earlier. This book kept me interested and I read it straight through. Teri Schnaubelt does an excellent job. Her performance always make the characters have real personalities. I cannot wait to read book 3.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

All aboard! Next Stop In Fun Time Travel Story!

I liked the first installment of this series. Although it had a few snags for me. However I love Teri Schnaubelt as a narrator and the overall first story was enjoyable enough to take the " next ride" through book two. let me just say "Loved it!"...Satisfying and kept me listening to the whole book in one day! The story is connected loosely to the first and is better appreciated if one reads the first book in series before. Although it could be a stand alone story. So get a cup of tea and settle in for a marvelous visit to the turn of the century adventure and back again... As for me..I just got my "ticket" for the next train series "A Smile In Time...hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did!

good folow on story.

Any additional comments?

danny meets the old gentleman with green eyes on the train and just like elle finds herself in 1901 and she doesn't want to be there because her mother is waiting for an operation to remove a cancer.

well written with believable characters in unusual situations.

a light read for between heavy stuff or for holiday reading.

Publisher's Summary:

Hunger burns in Connie Bences' soul - she craves the blood of her vampire lover, Rurik - but it's not satisfying her needs anymore. It's driving her insane. Desperate to find help, Rurik brings her to Rio De Janeiro where Tane rules the vampire nation.

The back-stabbing vampire almost killed her and Rurik when they'd first met, then used them to obtain his crown. She would rather stake him, but the small drop of Nosferatu blood he'd forced her to drink in Budapest is blooming into a bond, one which ties her life to his. One he won't hesitate to manipulate.

He admits to binding her so Rurik would have to remain at his side, but their timing couldn't be any worse. The betrayer finds himself betrayed. Tane's rule is in upheaval and he's forced to place his trust in two people who owe him no allegiance - her and Rurik. In the middle of a power struggle, Connie fights to keep her lover, but didn't plan on Tane slipping into her heart.

Horrible Narration

Would you try another book from Annie Nicholas and/or Lauren Sweet?

I have listened to 2 hrs so far and am having a really really hard time getting anything of the story line because I can't stand the Narration. Lauren Sweet is sooooo stilted and monotone.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lauren Sweet?

Khristine Hvan does a really good job with the Jane Yellowrock series and I think she could have done a really good job with these books also.

CAUGHT - VAMPIRES & LOVE.. YOU JUST CAN'T FIGHT IT

Well, after the first book, we knew the story and love lives of Connie and Rurik was going to continue - but never did I imagine the twist that Annie Nicholas was going to think up and bring to her unsuspecting listener as Tane and his crew come back on the scene with devastating results.

Connie and Rurik were blissfully and happily in love unaware that their lives were about to dramatically change and, as they partied the night away in Rio, an evil Nosferatu was watching them as he had violent plans and ambitions but now he was just waiting for the right time to strike. It's got everything you'd expect from a vampire book - hot sexy handsome alpha vampires and an unsuspecting naive woman who all get drawn into an action-packed exciting world where torture, secrets, murder, intrigue, capture, betrayal and redemption lie waiting for them with a few devastating twists thrown in along the way.

My earphones were glued to my ears (good job as some scenes were very hhhot) 'cause this exciting story captivates you as you try to work out the undeniable chemistry, the sexual tension and where it will lead. Then you have to spot the good characters from the bad but eventually comes the twists and you ask yourself how it could possibly have a happy ending....... and when the ending comes it'll leave you either fanning yourself and happy for them or appalled as Connie makes her choice.

Worth a credit? Sooo worth it but...... BEWARE if you're not the type to enjoy a 'Club sandwich' M/F/M perhaps you should just skip this listen or forego the last Chapter then wait for book 3.

Publisher's Summary:

College teacher Ellie Standish thinks she's on a sleek modern train heading to a conference on women's studies in Seattle, but she awakens from a night's doze to find herself on a bizarre historical train full of late Victorian era re-enactors who refuse to come out of character. When the leader of the group-handsome, green-eyed Robert Chamberlain-finally convinces her the date is indeed 1901, a skeptical Ellie rejects any eccentric theories of time travel and presumes she is smack dab in the middle of a very interesting historical dream.

She turns the directorial reins of her dream over to smitten and willing Robert, only to realize that dreams cannot last forever. Someday, she must wake up to reality, though Ellie no longer has any idea what reality is. She only knows that Robert must play an important part in her future. But how can he... if he's only a figment of her imagination or worse yet... a man who belongs to an era long past?

Worth the listen

I loved this book of time travel. The author did a great job of researching. You could really imagine yourself falling asleep on a train and waking up in another time. The narrator did a great performance of all the characters. Great listen. I will listen to it again.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Nice Romantic Take On Time Travel

The story is not complex, but the Edwardian era was well portrayed.

I wasn't sure I liked the narrator in the first chapter, but he got into stride and I enjoyed his performance.

Trains & Time Travel is a good ride...

I really enjoyed the story overall. The good stuff first intriquing concept traini as the literal time travel vehicle was brilliant. I felt through the descriptions I could really see it through Ellie's point of view. It was great to step back through the veils of time. However, the back & forth from past to present times with her fiance didn't flow as seamlessly for me and as such there were a few disconnects with story. They didn't spoil the story for me...but that and at times the narrator voice/ delivery was distracting. I can certainly recommend this as a very enjoyable book and will most likely continue reading the series.

enjoyable story.

Any additional comments?

elle boards a train in the present, falls asleep and finds herself in 1901. she doesn't believe it even when Robert gives her a newspaper with the date on it.

this story goes between past and present. the past she thinks is just a dream.

well written as you are with elle as she cannot understand where she is in the beginning and hoping everthing comes right in the end.

enjoyed the story very much.

I am looking forward to the rest in the series.

I love this series!!!

I love this series!!! I've had this book since it first came out but I wanted to wait until I could give it the attention it deserves. I can not express how good this series is. The characters are well written and developed. The world that Rachel Vincent created for her characters is solid and well built. The story is fast paced and well organized. This is truly one of the best series that I have read. I look forward to other books in this series.

okaaaaayyy

I have to say I read the first book and wad intrigued. After the second one I was hooked and highly anticipated the finale. Then the finale came...and In was dissapointed. The male character was WHACK and Sara .. was mild. she didn't quite reach my expectations. the fact the the series ended like this was very upsetting. I would say I want my money back...but the book was free.

Bound series

These Rachel Vincent books were a great listen. Very enjoyable with great story lines for each novel

Impressed

I really the whole series. Good story line that kept me hooked.

I must say that the narration of first book drove me batty, but through out the next two books, I realized how amazing Gabra's ability was. Each character was thier own and you knew who was "speaking" before being told. And you felt everything each character was feeling just by the tone of het voice. Wonderful job!

I think I'm in love with Rachel Vincent

I've bee binging on her books waiting on menagerie to come out and literally every series is better that the one before. I'm so sad that I'm almost done with all her books...

AWESOME NEW CHARACTERS AND GENE

I give this a 4.5 star rating. I would have done a 5 star, but I am annoyed that someone chose to put the terminology page for the list of characters and what they mean at the end of this story. I ask you who in their right mind ruins a story by starting at the end. Wake up folks we need the pertinent information at the beginning of a story not the end.

Okay, that said I absolutely loved this story line. It is fresh. It is imaginative. It kept me invested and wanting to find out how it ended all the way through.

It is hard to describe the content of this story as it is such a new concept but I will give it a try. The Nagi, or as I would call him, the devil has spawn with humans an additional species. That is another besides the human and shifters. They have different break downs in ability and focus. They are Seers, Ghost Whispers. Then you have the Ghost Children, who in their first form are it seems carnivores in the extreme. they are born fully capable of hunting and maintaining their existence without a mother, who is killed during the birth. They are fearsome predators. Some of the Skinwalkers,another cast of shifters with special abilities have been taking them in and nurturing them with the intent of turning them to maintain the balance. Nagi is trying to turn all his children to demons and take over the entire known world.

The heroine is a grizzly bear shifter and a member of the Seer/Skinwalker gene and she is sent to a Ghost child Alon at the start of the story. They are a wonderful and extremely good pairing. She can remove souls to the side but he can restore them to the body. It is just an absolutely amazing story.

It is quite a ride and the story is well told. I believe if you are into the paranormal gene/romance you will fall in love with this one.

Like I said this should be a 5 star story but the important Terminology that allows the reader to more easily figure out what is going on is at the end therefore totally useless.

I recommend this one highly.

Five Stars

Great Book.

Beatys Beast

This was a fast paced adventure with great characters. You get caught up in their problems and emotions. Great ending.

Inventive storytelling

The Trackers series comes to a close with BEAUTY'S BEAST, and the concluding novel is an outstanding paranormal story filled with originality during every scene.

Enjoyed the story. Narration was terrible.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes. I enjoyed the story but would have been more so with a better narrator.

If youve listened to books by Jo Barrett before, how does this one compare?

I absolutely loved the first book in the series! This one was enjoyable but conversations between the two lead characters seemed kind of stilted and the women seemed more male than female.

Would you be willing to try another one of Allison Copes performances?

No! Her performance was awful.

Did Rogue's Challenge inspire you to do anything?

No.

loved the book but.....

I really liked the book although.... not as much as the first one. Allison Cope is THE WORST READER EVER!!!!!! She reads like a high school student emphasizing the wrong words. Her accent is atrocious. She makes the Scottish characters sound like Irish leprechauns. it made the book a bit less enjoyable. Book is 3 stars and Allison minus one star!

Horrible Narrator

This narrator was so inconsistent with her accents. And to make it worse (in my opinion) was I don't even think she was doing a Scottish accent she was speaking with an Irish accent! Plus there were several times that the character was supposed to be whispering or talking softly and it was almost like she yelled. Fun story tho! Glad I listened to the second book to know what happened!

The Narrator makes it too hard to listen

I'm sure the book is good enough, since I enjoyed the first one, but the narrator is so hard to listen to I had to turn it off. I would have left the story part unrated but it wouldn't allow that. It seems like it would be on par with the 1st book.

Loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I loved it. The story was great and intriguing and the narrator had a great voice and did well with her inflection.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ian because he was a hot 16th century Englishman and he was determined to do right by Jenny.

Which scene was your favorite?

Honestly, any in which Ian and Jenny argued. The banter between them was hilarious.

Any additional comments?

This is my second audio book and I think I may be hooked!
