Hated the Ending

So anti-climatic and disappointing. I really enjoyed this series, but this story kinda sucked. I feel like this story was basically a waste and the ending was just kind of stuck on there.

Great Story!

I love every one of the books by Erin Nicholas that I have read! Great story!

Publisher's Summary:

She wants a baby. He wants her. Simple enough, right? Ellie Godfrey has kissed her share of frogs. So many, in fact, that she fears she won't recognize her prince if and when he finally comes along. Tired of waiting for "the one", Ellie decides to have a baby on her own before it's too late. When Jasper Autry hears about Ellie's plan, what else can he do but step in and offer to "contribute" to her project. Does that make him an opportunist? Whatever. He wants the perpetually out-of-reach Ellie Godfrey, and when he sees his chance, he takes it. That she's the sister of his business partner and close friend Flynn gives him pause, but it doesn't stop him from having what he wants. As Jasper and Ellie embark upon their secret project, he makes it clear that for as long as they're together, he's in charge - in the bedroom anyway. After the hottest sex of her life, Ellie realizes she's made a deal with the devil himself.

Warning: If you hate foul-mouthed heroes who like it a little rough and dirty, this might not be the book for you...Contains hot and sexy BDSM scenes among other things that might not appeal to the faint of heart. Enter at your own risk and enjoy!

Members Reviews:

I tried to like it!! still didn't like this one

Any additional comments?

First of all, the concept of the book is so complicated!! The character wants to have a baby from one man, but find different one to be an actual father of the child! Why everything is so damn complicated!!!

SO SO SWEET... YOU'LL NEED TO DIET AFTER IT

Right from the start you could see that Jasper and Ellie were made for each other (however they couldn't see it), they'd been working alongside each other for years, had the same friends and had been secretly very attracted to the other in all that time. They knew each other so well that it just 'clicked' between them - Ellie knew that her 'baby bargain' with Jasper came with an expiration date and she was fine with that.... until her heart got involved.

Jasper had always lusted after Ellie but she was Flynn's Sister so he never went there - instead he lived the life of a happy, handsome, single and very sexually driven man and it wasn't just his looks that made him stand out - his British accent was smooth too. When he suggested to Ellie that he would like to be the sperm donor to make her dream come true he thought it would be his way of finally having her and also helping a good friend out. Jasper knew their relationship could never work long-term because there was something in England that was going to call him back one day.... but the more time they spent together, and the more Ellie fulfilled ALL his deepest sexual BDSM fantasies, the more he thought that their perfect relationship could actually, possibly, maybe and perhaps be his forever. So he took a very slim chance and played his hand at getting out of an impossible 'commitment' in England.... but things didn't quite go to plan - with a devastating and shocking outcome.

This was a really entertaining dual POV friends to lovers love story and Jasper and Ellie were both very likeable characters and there were also all the other Quantum characters from the previous books too.

Title: Clash

Subtitle: Legal Affairs, Book 1

Author: Sawyer Bennett

Narrator: Kirsten Leigh, Lee Samuels

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-16

Publisher: Big Dog Books, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 136 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Clash (verb): to conflict, disagree.

It might be fair to say that I despise Macy Carrington. She slings insults with precision, not caring about the destruction she leaves in her wake. We clash in a battle of wills every time we're around each other, and yet I still fantasize about being lodged deep within her body.

Clash (verb): to come together or collide.

I have never encountered someone that grates me the way Cal Carson does. His pompous, arrogant demeanor. A holier-than-thou attitude. Any interaction with "Saint Cal" ends in a verbal clash of epic proportions, and yet there's no one I'd rather have in my bed than him.

Clash (noun): a battle, fight or skirmish.

Her breathy moans mingle with the sound of our flesh coming together, clashing with the silence that surrounds us, dispelling any notions I once had about Macy Carrington.

Maybe I can break down her walls if we can call a truce to this battle.

He whispers filthy words in my ear, provoking feelings I never knew were possible. The burning desire in his touch clashes with everything I once believed about Cal Carson.

Maybe he can be the balm I need to soothe my broken soul, if only temporarily.

Members Reviews:

Explosive Sex in the Pantry?!?!?!?

I'm going to premise my review by saying I love Sawyer Bennett's audio books and I got really involved in the budding relationship between Macy and Cal. Macy and Cal and their story was so intriguing that I was hooked and had to finish the series. But I was really annoyed at the non-cliffhanger cliffhanger and even more bothered that this is a 3 book series. This book ended at a seriously awkward place -- I just didn't get why that was a cliffhanger.

Kristen Leigh and Lee Samuels did a good job narrating this book. I especially liked Lee Samuels narration. This duo made this an easy listen.

This story is worth a credit but I don't think it's worth 3 credits to get the complete set. I usually avoid stories that drag out into too many books but I finished the first book before I realized this was 3 book series.

ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER. UGH!

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

I am DONE buying trilogies when a well-written, and edited story can be told in one book. Frankly, it's a ripoff to the reader and lacks integity on the part of the writer and publisher. I returned the second two books in this series because I felt that the story was worth one credit, but definitely not three!

What could Sawyer Bennett have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It was a great story. Sawyer Bennett could have produced this in one volume. I have all the Wicked Horse Series and they're excellent so I know she's capable. I am just disappointed in this shoddy manuever to extract more money from fans.

What didnt you like about Kirsten Leigh and Lee Samuels s performance?

Their performances were excellent as always.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Clash?

I'm not going to do the editor's job here. But it's obvious the three volumes Clash, Grind and Yield could be condensed into one volume instead of leaving the readers with two unnecessary cliffhangers.

Be ready because it ends abruptly!

If you could sum up Clash in three words, what would they be?

Too. Damn. Short.

Title: Grind

Subtitle: Legal Affairs, Book 2

Author: Sawyer Bennett

Narrator: Kirsten Leigh, Lee Samuels

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-16

Publisher: Big Dog Books, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 115 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy gradually.

Macy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be.

What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I've done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can't ever seem to get enough.

But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it, and then help her to heal from it. I know, without a doubt, that Macy is capable of love, and I will grind her down until I make her accept the truth of it.

Grind (verb): to wear down, polish, or sharpen by friction.

Cal Carson is not the man I once thought him to be.

Strong, determined, sexy as hell, and a beast in the bedroom. He is every woman's fantasy.

He is my fantasy.

But no matter how hard Cal tries to grind me down, my heart and secrets are mine and mine alone.

Members Reviews:

No Hard Limits?!?!?

There was a whole lot of sexcapades going on in Grind so I'm going to just ask -- "Who goes to a sex club without setting hard limits?" I love your writing Sawyer Bennett, you certainly know how to keep things interesting. Cal and Macy are just so interesting and passionate that I just can't stop listening, even when I need to work. The slow reveal of Macy's demons are both frustrating and exciting. The cliffhanger improved in this book and while I'm not happy that this is a 3 book series -- I'm in it until the end.

The narrators did a really good job keeping me on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what happens next.

Cal and Macy's story is definitely worth a credit maybe even two credits, but three credits are a bit much for this series.

Hot hot hot!!

I loved this story. Very very sexy. Cal is an awesome character. Kinky without being a misogynistic a-hole.

Awesome

I love the story line especially how Cal is brutally honest but sensible enough to know how far to push. Finally a character who is open to new things but has self control and still a little freaky. Rated it a 5 because Macy is messed up but even with a destructive self image she is still aiming to be strong.

Love Sawyer Bennett

Awesome second book going in two my 3 , my second time buying her books not desappointed at all the narrators their awesome did it excellent job

It just keeps getting better and better

Book 2 in Cal and Macy's story does not disappoint. Combustible sex scenes, highly interesting storyline, and even a little tenderness. Then we have the surprise ending, intrigue at its most entertaining, and I know I'm going to be reading book 3 this evening. Just like book 1 the story is told mainly from Cal's POV (he is just THE perfect book boyfriend), it also still has Macy's diary entries which just make me need to know more about what makes her tick. I'm sure that Cal will stand by Macy no matter what, the question is, will Macy let Cal in? I sure hope so. I just love Sawyer Bennett's writing.

Publisher's Summary:

Welcome back to Bliss, the land of happily ever afters!

Lindsey Castellano couldn't ask for more. She's the most successful divorce lawyer ever raised in Bliss. (Never mind that she's the only one.) She's her nephew's favorite aunt. (For the moment, anyway.) And thanks to a little gift (or curse) from the universe, she's an expert at avoiding love, commitment, and inevitable heartbreak. Or so she thought until the night of her sister's wedding.

Will Truitt might've grown up living a country song - his momma died, his daddy went to prison, and his dog ran away - but as an adult, he's been blessed by the country rock gods. Being Billy Brenton on stage isn't an honor he takes lightly. He likes to give back what fame has given him, which is how he finds himself happily crashing a wedding in this quirky little bridal-obsessed town. The one thing he isn't counting on, though, is colliding with the only girl he ever let himself love.

It's been 15 years since Lindsey shattered his heart. Then, she'd been a sorority girl on her way to the top, and he'd been a lowly janitor with a little bit of a dream. Now he's on top of the world, and she's the last person he should need or want.

But she's the only person who has ever inspired his music. And he's the only man she's never been able to forget. Have the years made them wiser, stronger, and better able to love, or this time, will they simply crash and burn harder?

Quick Thoughts: This is going to be one of my top reads of 2017. Very seldom does a straight contemporary romance make my list but this had it all. It was funny, charming, smart-ass filled, and delightful. I LOVED Will and Lindsey! Their chemistry was fantastic but I also loved that their path was not easy. PLUS, that end was sooooooooooo perfect for the two of them. Especially Lindsey, who you just have to love! All the side characters added to the charm and I can't wait to continue the series.

Audio Thoughts

Narrated by: Karen White /Length: 10 hrs and 37 mins

Karen is an excellent fit for this series. She has that breezy, quirky, yet stubborn type of voice that can match all the women and their attitudes. She very much sales the quirkiness of the town and nailed that last section which just had to be fun to record!

Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, DONE! Reviews

Matched by Jamie Farrell

Where does Matched rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I gave it 4 stars.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Matched?

I would have to say the boyfriend competition.

What about Karen Whites performance did you like?

She did a fine job with the accents and attitudes of the characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

No idea.

Any additional comments?

MATCHED by Jamie Farrell was a really fun book that I can highly recommend and that can be read as a stand-alone story. However it is a great follow up to Blissed, the first book in the series, which I also highly recommend. This series is set in a town called Bliss where the whole focus of the townfolk is about love and weddings.

Best audiobook ever!

This was a perfect ending to a perfect series. I can't name one thing I didn't like about it. And listening to each one of their voices really made the story come alive. Can you imagine 6 different voices??? It's so awesome!!!

Amazing

I loved this audible book because I love this series! Love the 6 narrators. Feels like I watching a movie in my head when I listen to them.

So long friends.

If you made it to the end then how can you not read this book?

Bittersweet

Would you listen to Some Kind of Perfect again? Why?

Definitely!!!

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The voices fit the characters so well, the emotion of their voices makes the book so much more amazing

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

This whole book moved me. I freakin love this series soooooo, this series is my favorite so this being the last book in the series made me so emotional.

A Beautiful End

I loved this whole series. Each book was better than the last and SKOP was no exception. The writing is amazing! The story is amazing! I loved all of the male narrators. I love the narrator for Lily Hale. The narrator for Rose Cobalt sounded and portrayed the characters exactly the same as she did the last book I listened to by her. I kept thinking it was the last book. The narrator for Daisy Meadows, I skipped every chapter that she narrated. She over acts and makes all the characters sound ridiculous! The last book I listened to by her, it ruined the book for me.

When her deadly nemesis resurfaces to eliminate his loose end, she turns to the last man she should trust - a stranger with a history of violence and an intoxicating sexuality she can't refuse....

Though strong-armed into locating Lily to help put away a drug lord, ex-con Stone Sutter isn't anyone's snitch. When he finds the terrified beauty, he vows to keep her safe - but he isn't sure he has the strength to shield her from his own desires.

As an unquenchable fire sparks between them, Lily's tormentor stalks ever closer, and she must overcome her darkest fear to survive. Can she trust the bond she and Stone have formed as they're falling in deeper?

Contains mature themes.

Members Reviews:

Storyline is awfully weak, and both primaries iffy

Filling in the required 20 words for a review... Lily is a dumbass and a very sad disgrace to everything female that exists with a backbone yet in the last few minutes she manages to fight not one but two buff "very tall men with muscles upon muscles" - the author's words, not mine! - AND escape unscathed. Verry NOT believable. Stone is a very iffy dumbass dom wannabe, who dutifully parrots domly words but doesn't show a hint of dominance, yet she submits to him where she wouldn't submit to one of the strongest most experienced doms at the club. Yeeeeah.

Liked the reader's voice (VERY the sort of voice I like), but damn, even he couldn't pull this disappointing book up by more than one star, mainly because of the dumbass dialog and story that I could well imagine him cringing as he recorded it.

Well, Audible required words, and words they have received.

A literary work of absolute perfection!!!

Emotional and heart wrenching this book takes you into Sweet Peas life, a receptionist who works for Thorpe at Club Dominion. She's spent the last half a decade trying to fly under the radar attempting to escape from a terrifying past. Enter in Stone Sutter, a con who tries to get Sweet Pea (aka Lily Taylor) to testify for the feds against the man she's been hiding from.

This book has everything... mystery, drama, love, lust, betrayal all wrapped up in one of the best books I've ever listened to. Shayla Black is a literary genius and Christian Fox does an absolute stupendous job playing the roles of all the key players. My only complaint is that the book has to end. I hope there will be other installments to the 'Wicked Lovers Series' and we won't have to wait too long to hear them.

Trust me when I tell you that this book will rock your world to the utter core!!!!

story okay, performance not

the story was somewhat predictable. The performer is often staccato and fast so it makes it hard to understand the story at times.

I Love this series!

THIS is my only audible book of this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I recommend it! I believe this one could be a stand alone also, yes some characters are steady in this book but you wouldn't feel like you missed out on an inside story/joke/hidden meaning. So...grab a drink get in a comfy spit and enjoy OR... you can do what I did mostly and listen while driving. Either way, Enjoy!!

Publisher's Summary:

In Seaside Dreams....

Bella Abbascia has returned to Seaside Cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as she does every summer. Only this year, Bella has more on her mind than sunbathing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends. She's quit her job, put her house on the market, and sworn off relationships while she builds a new life in her favorite place on earth. That is, until good-time Bella's prank takes a bad turn and a sinfully sexy police officer appears on the scene.

Single father and police officer Caden Grant left Boston with his 14-year-old son, Evan, after his partner was killed in the line of duty. He hopes to find a safer life in the small resort town of Wellfleet, and when he meets Bella during a night patrol shift, he realizes he's found the one thing he'd never allowed himself to hope for - or even realized he was missing.

After 14 years of focusing solely on his son, Caden cannot resist the intense attraction he feels toward beautiful Bella, and Bella's powerless to fight the heat of their budding romance. But starting over proves more difficult than either of them imagined, and when Evan gets mixed up with the wrong kids, Cade

Members Reviews:

LOVED LOVED LOVED

This is the first book in the Seaside Series. Bella is fun loving and Caden is a by the book cop. The both together are magic. I absolutely love the Seaside gang they are an amazing group. I would love to hang out and have a barn fire with them. I listened to the audio, the narration way by BJ Harrison. I love his voice. He does an amazing job.

good story

This spinoff story and series starter was a great read. Bella and Caden's story was a great story as Bella works through her trust issues as she restarts her life and Caden navigates single parenthood of a teen while dealing with the loss of his former police partner. Both characters were well written and as well as their story that moved along well and did not drag. I look forward to seeing where the stories go with the supporting characters as well. The narration by Mr. Harrison was performed well and enthusiastically making me hooked on the story from the start. I enjoyed this story from the start and would recommend it to others.

Caden and Bella

Caden and Bella Caden is new to the Wellfleet Police department. While patrolling one night, he comes upon a scene so funny he couldnt help but stop. This is his introduction to Bella, one of the Seaside girls, at the Cape for the summer or longer! While Caden and his teenage son, Evan, enjoy their new home and getting to know the seaside gang, Bella wrestles with the big question of what does she want to do with her life now. Attraction, love, family they grow and are demanding. Melissa Foster has built a world where life happens, love happens, and certain people end up in funny or sizzling situations on a somewhat regular basis. A fun read with lots of steam, too.

I read this story a while back, but just listened to the audiobook. I thoroughly enjoyed it! BJ Harrison does a great job as narrator the characters come alive and the story is so good. There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments with some seriousness thrown in, and a good bit of steam. Totally worth the second telling. Hearing the story from someone else is so different from reading it. I love to read, and yet this story was so good as an audio.
