Publisher's Summary:

All Katie ever wanted was a baby. Be careful what you wish for.

Katie Lipton is the town beauty, but that never got her what she wanted most - a baby. And, oh yeah, a faithful husband would have been nice, too. Reeling from her husband's cheating and desertion, Katie embarks on a one-night fling with professional golfer Dario Luna. Never could she have imagined that one night with Dario would give her something fifteen years of marriage couldn't - morning sickness.

Dario was raised without a father, and he has no intention of the same fate befalling his child. He's still not sure about Katie, though. Did she trick him? Lie to him? But his feelings for her, and this crazy attraction he feels, soon has him putting his doubts aside to spend more time with her. He tells himself it's for the sake of the baby. Yeah. Right.

Agreeing to try to work out some sort of relationship before the baby is due, Katie travels with Dario to his golf tournaments, walking the course with him by day...and giving in to their attraction by night. But will it be enough?

Includes bonus sneak peek material.

*Warning* Worth The Drive has 3-4 somewhat graphic sex scenes and the F-bomb is detonated semi-frequently. If it were a movie, it'd be rated a hard R.

Solid for stars

I really enjoyed the first book or most of it, but this book was so much better. I wanted Katie to get her happily ever after because she so deserves it. And wow was this ever drama filled and quirky and just an all-around good book. Can't wait to see what the next book holds.

A dull drive !

This was a total waste of time and money .the story was weak and not clear . The narrative did not but emotional effort in it . Overall a disappointment.

Excellent second installment to the series

Well narrated and bright to life by Emily Beresford. Love the audiobooks just as much as the e-books.

Publisher's Summary:

Claire Nixon is a college student with a past full of secrets and heartbreak. At seven years old, the death of her mother by drug overdose destroys her faith in humanity as she is tossed from one foster home to another. Feeling unwanted and disposable, she fights to keep herself safe in the system. Until she is saved by her first love, soon-to-be rock star Chris Knight.

When Claire encourages Chris to leave town to pursue his dreams of musical stardom, both Claire and Chris don't realize this will be the biggest mistake of their lives.

One year after Chris leaves on tour, Claire has carved out a new life for herself in a new city. On a fateful morning, she meets sexy surfer Adam Parker. To Claire, Adam is just another flirty customer at the cafe, until a seemingly innocent comment spurs a bet between them.

The bet is simple: If Adam can get Claire to reveal the secret that made her drop out of college, she has to re-enroll. If he doesn't succeed, she gets to keep her secret and he has to stop stalking her at the cafe.

Claire thinks she has this one in the bag. She's perfected the art of forgetting her past. But she isn't prepared for Adam's relentless pursuit. And she's definitely not prepared for Chris and her secret to come banging down her door one year later.

Members Reviews:

Hot and emotionally evocative.

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

Hot, sad, engaging.

What about Nick Podehl and Amy McFadden s performance did you like?

Great narration for most of the book, wasn't a fan of the female character voices in the final chapter, but the rest was well done.

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

This story just grabbed me emotionally and took me on a journey. For a short book I was surprise by how involved I got with the characters, there was one section that had me crying and blowing my nose, I had to stop listening because I was in public (just a little awkward).

Any additional comments?

The character interactions between Gena and Rusty are hot and emotional, it makes for a fantastic book. I'll be listening to it again!

Bubble gum romance

Sometimes I am in the mood for a light romance, but this was a little too much. I bought this on sale, did not return it. I have read/listened to other books in this series and found them entertaining. This book focussed more on the sex, lack of, commission of, and most of all more sex. Despite stating that it was about a man with "abandonment" issues, it was just about two people who like to have sex and mistake it for love. In any case, I do not find this book sale or credit worthy...... try some of her other books.

a love story of learning to let go

This is a sweet story of two people who have to learn to let go of the past and to forgive.

In this journey of letting go they find what really matters, each other.

Southern Charm Gone Wild

Love Nick and Amy in all of their performances. They really get into the roles and bring the characters alive.

Title: Sworn to Protect

Subtitle: Sugarland Blue Series, Book 1

Author: Jo Davis

Narrator: Sean Crisden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-13

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Detective Shane Ford, Sugarland's favorite cop, has been blindsided by the sudden death of his best friend, NFL star Brad Cooper, and by becoming the legal guardian of Brad's son, Drew - a bitter, angry 16-year-old with a dangerous secret. Shane is determined to pry the truth from Drew, but he manages only to alienate him - and winds up going head-to-head with Juvenile Officer Daisy Callahan, whose job is to protect the teen's best interests.

Shane has always been drawn to Daisy's beauty and strength, but he's determined not to allow their intense attraction to interfere with his duty ever again. It's a vow that will prove difficult to keep, as the realities of Shane and Daisy's blossoming love and their growing bond with the grieving teen propel Shane headlong into danger for the new family he has sworn to protect.

Critic Reviews:

"Explicit erotic scenes and the mystery behind Brad's death make this a satisfying, fast-paced listen." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Great Narrator, lousy story

The author has not changed much in the six years since she published Trial by Fire. The hero is still introduced to readers as having nothing but sex in his brain right in the middle of work. This time, though, Shane gets a better deal than the hero in TbF. Howard, I think his name was, was obsessing over the heroine's breasts right in the middle of fighting a fire and rescuing the trapped victims. At least Shane wasn't right in the middle of a crime scene but still, it's a police squad room and work is in progress but we get a whole paragraph detailing his sexual thoughts about Daisy. Puhlease.

I felt bad for Sean Crisden because he's one of my fav narrators and I wish he were narrating the Karen Rose books. Or the other serious romantic suspense titles, not this piece of nonsense. Sworn to Protect was not worth even the Whispersync price because I had to buy the Kindle first.

Terrible read and worst listen..

Wow, another book where someone wants to blame themselves for someone elses death. Cant authors just got over that? And, again, a teenage who is a total A-hole through the entire book then when its almost the end (80%) Drew changes and youre suddenly supposed to like him? I also dont like kids in contemporary books because I detest the word whatever and I know that that word is going to be all over the story. AND it was said 20 to 25 times. UGH! And then Drew sneaks out at 2:00 in the morning with Ty and, of course, they get caught tagging one of the bad guys house and barn, the first of his TSTL moments, then another TSTL moment when he got caught again because he had been snooping somewhere he shouldnt have been snooping. Who didnt know that?

And are we almost finished writing about the slutty biotch that says something to the heroine and the stupid heroine believes whatever crappy thing the slut says and breaks up with the hero. Good grief! Enough!

And I have no idea what some reviewers think hot or steamy sex is BUT its not having the hero and heroine be together page after page, chapter after chapter and not have one single thought about desiring or wanting the other one. Absolutely no thoughts whatsoever. This is my first and last book by this author. If you cant write sexual tension you shouldnt write sex scenes. Its like saying, let me just plop this sex scene right here, and everyone will be happy.

Members Reviews:

Crazy Beautiful Hot Entertainment !

Any additional comments?

Crazy Beautiful Love is about the bad boy in town Logan Martelli. He and his family have such a bad reputation in the small town that they live in. Every one thinks that their whole family is just bad. Then walks in or rather runs in Maddie, the mayors daughter. Logan and his family have grown up hating the mayor and his family because of their fathers pasts. But even though he knows he shouldnt Logan cant seem to keep himself away from Maddie since he first laid eyes on her. Logan tries countless times to not want to be around her but they are like magnets and keep going back together.Even though this was a stand alone story I cant wait to read the next stories about Logans two brothers, Vincent and Jared. This book was funny, exciting, and very sexy Hot Stuff and the only complaint from me is that i found Maddie's voice very young sounding but Jodie Bentley does an awesome job narrating.

Just OK!

This book was just ok for me. Seemed very rushed and on the juvenile side. For a 20 year old and a 25 year old there seemed to be a lot of whining. Seemed like I was reading about teenagers. Just didn't do it for me.

Not Bad... Not Good... Just Okay

This book was just okay. The story was somewhat rushed and I couldnt connect with the childish characters. With the youthful narration, it just felt wrong. The narrator's voice didnt work. It was okay but I won't be continuing on the series.

Worst audio book ever

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I really enjoy the audio books, but this one is by far the worst I've ever had...The narrator is a women pretending to be a man...just awful. I won't get the series.

Would you ever listen to anything by J. S. Cooper again?

Maybe

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Yes, big time

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Very disappointed

Any additional comments?

Skip this one....

just... no.

insipid writing... little girl voice... no difference between male and female when talking. I couldn't even finish.

Title: Obsession

Author: Debra Webb

Narrator: Carol Schneider

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-13

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 59 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Special Agent Jess Harris has spent more than a decade studying the many faces of evil. In her determination to stop a serial killer, she broke the rules, and it cost her everything.

With her career in need of resuscitation and her love life dead and buried, Jess jumps at a chance to advise on a case that has the top detectives of Birmingham, Alabama, stumped. But the case forces her to confront all the reasons she put her hometown-and her first love-in her rearview mirror.

Four young women have gone missing, and Police Chief Dan Burnett will do anything to find them before it's too late - even if it means asking for help from the woman who has spent a decade avoiding him. Jess agrees to lend a hand and welcomes the diversion of a new case, a new life to save to make up for the victims she's lost. But then the unthinkable happens: the crazed serial killer from her past follows Jess to Birmingham. The situation is becoming increasingly desperate, and time is swiftly running out...

Members Reviews:

Is Jess Brenda Lee Johnson of The Closer?

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

It ranks at the top. I am hooked on this series and cannot get enough. I will listen to the entire series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jess because she reminds of me and my favorite t.v deputy chief Brenda Lee Johnson from the Closer. She is driven, quirky, lonely, unconventional and exceptionally talented detective. While her methods are unconventional and she skirts the boundaries of proper standards she gets results. I love the fact that she is a complex character who is still developing. I cannot wait to see how she changes over the course of the series.

Which character as performed by Carol Schneider was your favorite?

Carol got Jess down cold. She did a great job with all of the characters!

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

The were several but the one when she got the text message and then went to each room in Dan's parents house with her gun. I was also moved when she went into the barn and found the girls in the open grave. That was a great scene.

Any additional comments?

Thanks audible for introducing me to this wonderful character and series.

Great find!

This book was recommended and selected for a group listen. This author and narrator are new to me, but were a great find! Talk about suspense, suspense, suspense! It was light on violence and gore, but still had my heart thumping and me holding me breath in anticipation. And, talk about twisted characters! These were not your run of the mill crazy people. They were down right disturbing!

I really liked this book from beginning to end. The narrator was different, but really good. Her voice had just enough roughness or edge to really fit the characters. Her characterizations were good and she pulled you into the story. You felt the fear, anxiety, frustration, and determination of the characters. It was just light enough not to be too heavy, and just heavy enough to have some teeth. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this series.

Edge of your seat!

Complete and total suspense from start to finish, this book will have you hooked. Debra Webb has begun the first of her Faces of Evil series with a nail biting story of kidnapping, murder, psychotic parents, coming to terms with your past and a future sure to keep you up at night.

Publisher's Summary:

Cultures clash when a determined PR director meets her match in the Everglades.

Twenty-five-year-old Whitney Latham has worked hard to prove herself to her controlling father and his business partner - her ex-husband.

But everything changes when her car gets stuck in the mud during a research trip to the swamp and a rugged stranger, named White Eagle, comes to her rescue.

Soon, she is having second thoughts about her companys mission, and nothing is quite as it seems - especially when it comes to love.

Members Reviews:

Ok

I'm more into her other books....this one was light reading and I enjoyed it but not as much as her romance mysteries. This book did not keep me on the edge of my seat like the others. I'm really not into stories where women are shown as the weaker sex.

Five Stars

Great romance reading material. Like it's name, a tender and stimulating love story.

Great Romance

This book was originally published in 2000, but if you missed it, this is a great opportunity to read it now.

I really have a love for Heather Graham books, and this one reminded me why. Heather uses her excellent character building in this novel to highlight the differences between the main characters that make them such a perfect match for each other. There are a lot of romances out there, but this one is unique. I liked that Heather didn't stick with the modern way of life for the tribe and thought it made this book a lot more rounded and enjoyable.

The story is basically built around a young woman who works for a land development company and is trying to convince the local Indian tribes that they would be better off living in provided housing. On her way to the hotel where she will be staying, she gets caught in a storm and meets a member of the tribe that has a sharp tongue, a quick wit and a strong male presence she can't seem to resist.

What I loved about the book, was the way Whitney's character was developed. She was headstrong and determined, and yet had enough feminine qualities to make her seem innocent and a perfect offset for her love interest. She came into the book with a past history that was believable and easy to comprehend and supported the way her character behaved throughout the rest of the story.

There was a portion of this story that just outright irked me. I won't include a spoiler here, but I will say it was the lake scene. It pretty much killed my like of the character White Eagle and I honestly wanted to slap him. I never felt the same about him after that.

Overall, this was a pretty compelling romance that kept me waiting to see what would happen next. There was an initial twist I wasn't really expecting and I liked that it didn't go exactly as I had thought it might.

I think fans of romance and fans of Heather Graham will definitely enjoy this book.

This review is based on a digital copy from Open Road Media.

Four Stars

Good

Not my favorite from this author

Although I do like some romance books, this one was just not one of my favorites from Heather Graham. I hated Whitney a lot! Her small minded mentality got on my nerves and I guess that is why I couldn't get past that and her finding any kind of hapiness with White Eagle.

Members Reviews:

I Wish I had been Trapped into Marriage by Nick...

What made the experience of listening to Trapped into Marriage the most enjoyable?

The flow of the story kept me intrigued with wanting to know what would happen next.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Nick, his sexiness was evident from the beginning, lol.

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

I felt like was actually in the story itself

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

When Nick finally realized that he was in love with Keyonna.

Any additional comments?

Dez Burke is a very talented author. I have read just about all of her books and I plan to remedy that within the next couple of months.

Pretty good story

Would you listen to Trapped into Marriage again? Why?

Yes, I thought the author did a good job. Articulate and well written. I like how the characters were developed and I love Keyonna more than anyone in the story. The author did such a good job describing Keyonna's pain that almost felt like it was my heart (almost).

Who was your favorite character and why?

Keyonna. She is such a sweetheart and I love how supportive she is. I love how she treats Nick. Nick is also a favorite character of mine because of us self-assurance with

What about Pepper Laramies performance did you like?

Good job, although I didn't too much care for Nick's voice, but I can forgive her for that.

Any additional comments?

I hastily judged this author before I had a chance to hear this book. She was articulate and did a very good job creating a picture with just enough detail for the reader. I really hoped the book would last longer than 8hrs, but what can you do after Nick finds Keyonna?

I love the relationship between Keyonna and Nick. Also, THANK YOU for not creating a male character with no back-bone. Finally, a male character who has not been emasculated. I love how sure and strong Nick is, love his character

The best Burke/Laramie book ever!!!

WOW! Burke really out did herself with this one. The smex! OMG! Blush** Blush***

Nick and Kiyona gets married... arragement that leds to passion of course... typical Burke book... But.... the smex between these two was the best ever... Burke goes back and forth with the POV in this one... which I think add to the story.. So we can see what is goin on in both Nick and Kiyona's head.

Great story, good drama.. and Awesome Smex!

Narration is subper. I really think Laramie is best suited for Burke's books.

Great Credit, Sale or Buy!

I want more of stories like this

If you could sum up Trapped into Marriage in three words, what would they be?

Steamy, Love, Heart

What other book might you compare Trapped into Marriage to and why?

I would compare it to Skin Deep. I love both books and the length. I wish Dez would do more books at this length.

Title: Wedding Belles

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 36 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The Sassy Belles are back... and this time, wedding bells are ringing!

Seven months pregnant and head over heels in love, Vivi Ann McFadden is busy pulling together the final details for her wedding to Lewis Heart, famous play-by-play announcer for the Crimson Tide. But with two wedding-planners-gone-wild, a psychic giving her advice, and the ceremony happening on the same day as the wildly popular Crimson Tide kickoff game, chaos reigns supreme. Luckily, maid of honor Blake O'Hara Heart is on the job. She'll tackle this wedding if it's the last thing she does!

But not everyone is cheering for the happy couple. News of the upcoming nuptials has brought Lewis' old flame back to Tuscaloosa - and she's got a secret that could mean the end of Lewis' marriage... before it even begins.

Sexy Southern fun... with a hint of magnolia!

Editorial Reviews:

Southern women's fiction became a lot sassier with the arrival of author Beth Albright, who never misses a chance to honor her native Alabama in her novels. Wedding Belles, the second installment of Albright's Sassy Belles series, is full of women with quintessentially Southern double names like Vivi Ann and Myra Jean. Actress Allison McLemore brings a thick and endearing Southern accent to this entertaining and at times off-the-wall tale of marriage and college football. The audiobook opens with a reference to a trailer park psychic, contains a pregnant bride, and is full of humorous observations like "In the Deep South, women can wring your neck, hug your neck, and bless your heart all in the same day".

Members Reviews:

Love the Series

I love this whole series. Makes me want to want to move to Tuscaloosa and be friends with these women. I wish this Author had more books on Audible.

Funny read

A little crazy and cute. I was laughing when the cot malfunctioned and the zipper incident on the wedding day;)

This book had good reviews; what am I missing?

Where's the story? Lots of the reviewers described themselves as Southern girls and were tickled with this book. I don't know why they're not insulted by it.

Blake, the main character is a lawyer. Quite an accomplishment, but mention of her career takes a backseat to baby showers, clothes and the wonders of Aquanet. A murder mystery sort of hovers around the edge of the story, but that's gettin in the way of planning a wedding so it gets wrapped up in ScoobyDoo style and we get on with the Fru Fru wedding (the wedding is planned by "A Fru Fru Affair" event planners.)

Here's the worst part. Blake is in a failed marriage with a senatorial candidate. Though they have already decided on divorce, they are keeping it a secret until after the election, and presenting themselves as a happy professional couple. Although Blake says Harry is a lousy husband, he'll be a good Senator. Geeeeez. He's dishonest and a womanizer, is that what this author considers good Senator material? Meanwhile, Blake is having an affair with the lead investigator of the city police department. There is some discussion about not getting caught, but nothing about any ethical dilemma.

I didn't look to see when this book was written. If it weren't for references to cellphones and other technology, I would have assumed it was 1950 something.

My recommendation..save your money. If you like books about Southern women's lives, try some Deborah Smith.
