Publisher's Summary:

When Cade Walker and Merrick Sullivan find Elle hiding in the cabinet of a gun store, they know they can't just walk away from the fragile woman with no memory of who she is or who tried to kill her. Merrick is training for the title shot in the heavyweight division as a mixed martial artist and can't afford distractions, but neither can he turn his back on the woman who tugs at his heartstrings. Elle feels safe with her two protectors, and the longer she spends with them, the more she realizes that she has no desire to remember her past - not when it could compromise her future with Cade and Merrick. Cade has his own set of issues when it comes to Elle, and it quickly becomes clear to the two men that for the first time in their friendship, a woman is coming between them. But what if they just kept her there? Between them. Where she belongs.

WHAT????????????? It's over?

Okay, so there could have been 5+ more hours on this one and no word on the next release date! I think I may go out of my mind!

Sorry, little freak out! It was good, writing was Maya Banks so of course, well written...that said...we didn't get much, didn't delve into the past didn't answer any questions. I liked the superficial side of their relationship development but really that's all I feel I've gotten here. I should have looked more closely at this one, I would have waited until they were all out.

So...worth the credit, yes...BUT WAIT until the others are out. I feel antsy and irritable now! I need something else to ease my wait.

She's belongs to them - both of them

Any additional comments?

Maya has done it again with this emotional loving menage. With most books that have this type of a relationship, the men have experience sharing a woman before they meet the one. That was not the case in this book. Cade and Merrick both want to protect Elle, but they also both start to develop feelings for her. The two decide that their friendship is too important to them and that the answer to their problem is for both men to be in a relationship with her. One thing I love about Maya is her steaming hot sex scenes, but in this book the sex doesn't come until much later in the story. If you are looking for a purely erotic book then this one isn't for you, but the fact that the sex took so long completely made sense with the story that Maya was developing between the three. The focus is on the emotional relationship between them and was really about Elle and her journey to get strong enough that she was ready to remember her past. I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment of this intriguing series and will be snapping it up as soon as Audible release it. :)

keep em coming

Banks descriptions are so vivid and inviting that you cannot help but picture the scenes that she presents. The story itself is also very well put together, allowing the reader the opportunity to come to know this very different world intimately. I also really appreciate how Banks wraps this story up, not leaving you with a cliffhanger as such, but at the same time leaves such an open ending that youre dying to know what comes next.

These characters are very well developed. I must say that I absolutely loved the extremely different voices for each character and how consistent they stayed throughout.

Members Reviews:

Tedious

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I liked the Narrator because she brought the characters to life. The problem is...you ever had one of those friends that talked and talked and talked and you come to the point where you kind of drift off wishing you could but in to either stop them talking or get them to back track? It started off well and two hours in, I wanted to kill the heroine. How could anybody be that annoying? There was the requisite too many misunderstandings that just got down right irritating. Not a whole lot of action. I got tired of the heroine constantly ready to believe everything negative. She might as well have given herself up to the bad guys in the beginning and saved the rest of us about seven hours of her repeating the same actions over and over again.

What character would you cut from Accidentally In Love With...a God??

The heroine and replace her with someone who has a clue.

Any additional comments?

The book did have some good bantering but even that began to drone on. I really would have liked to see these characters work together instead of listening to a book full of the heroine talking to herself. Constantly. Of course she comes up with more wrong answers than right. The ending was a cliff hanger. I hate those. The fact that you won't find out the outcome of that story until book three was even more frustrating. It wasn't worth a credit. It's entertainment value lie in the narrators characterization of the characters. This is what saved me from returning the book for a refund.

Tempted...tempted...

You know how sometimes a character does something and you're tempted to throw your book at the wall? Well, with audiobooks, that can mean expensive equipment replacement, so I controlled myself. Now this may sound like a bad thing, but in reality I suppose it means I really got emotionally involved. The down side of this was intense frustration with the lead female character in this book, Emma. Being more than a bit older, I kept having to remind myself "She's barely 20 something, she's barely 20 something", because there was many tempting 'throw it at the wall' moments in this book, and most of those moments (not all, but most) were instigated by Emma.

The relationship between the two lead characters (Emma and "Guy") was at times endearing, at times maddening, and at times totally baffling. Still, with the exception of a few monumental bad decision moments (on both sides), it worked for me.

This is one of those books that it's very hard to write a brief description of without spoilers, so I'll simply say it's a love story between an ancient god and a young woman who has spent her whole life listening to him talk in her head.

Members Reviews:

Very Good Story! Great Narration too!

Wow I really enjoyed this book. Looking at the reviews on audible I feel like I am in the minority here. Most people didn't like it that much, where I thought it was really good, exciting and entertaining.

I really liked Clarissa, she could kick some butt! She was really funny and sarcastic too. I liked Erik a lot too. He was strong, smart and sexy. These two had some good chemistry together. I liked that they got to know each other and spent time together before the sex came. It wasn't insta lust. The attraction was there all the way through. There were a couple sex scenes that were very nicely written.

The story line and plot was great. I loved all the action that happened in this book. Something exciting was always happening. And the banter between these two was great. Erik was having a difficult time with his feelings because as an FBI agent he had been searching for her for a year. Once he found her and got to know her he just liked her. And her trying to escape all the time.

This was enjoyable from the beginning to the end.

As for the narration, I really like Tanya Eby. She does such a good job with men's voices. She has a great reading voice too. I did however find it odd that when Clarissa realized she was Irish her voice changed to an Irish accent. It would have been better if she kept the same accent throughout, either American or Irish one or the other. She did a good Irish accent. It was just strange. Otherwise it fantastic narration and story.

Another great one!

Another great read from Tiffany Snow! I've yet to read a book from her that I don't love! Instead of us falling for the bad boy we've fallen for the tough and sexy "Boy Scout" F.B.I. Agent and the bad girl. It was a match made in heaven with snark. I was all to ready for more when it ended :)!

I Should Have Listened To The Reviews

Perhaps my disappointment is my fault because I thought I was purchasing a mystery or thriller. Within a couple of pages, however, it became clear that Blank Slate is a very light-weight romance novel. Nothing more. Rather than a realistic plot driving the story, Blank Slate seems to use the contrived events and actions as excuses for the one-dimensional characters to lust after each other. Nothing wrong with lust but my guess is that real people in the midst of life threatening situations and serious physical injuries would not be quite so distracted.

Members Reviews:

Intriguing and well written

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The book is good but I had to take some breaks during this because the accents were sooo thick. She did a great job with this book and bringing it to life. Ready for the next.

Any additional comments?

Good read.

Cringeworthy!

The narrator ruined this for me. He make Scottish accents was so bad I could not finish the book. She would drag out the words so long. The cadence was off and just so annoying. I don't know who even let this get published that way. Unbelievable.

Maybe the book is good? Narration is AWFUL

This narrators voice was the most grating thing I've ever heard. Super monotonous and shaky. I couldn't take it. I don't even know what this book is about-I couldn't turn my focus away from the TERRIBLE narration.

Young Love in Fiction

Loved it, listening more than once to review details after listening to book 2. I have purchase entire collection.

pretty good

for the most part it was good, at times a bit too lovesick teen girl for me but if you get past that it was good.

Members Reviews:

GAGE, GAGE, GAGE - OH MY!

AMAZING. Better than the first two and those were amazing as well. all of her books start with a bang and don't stop. I could not put it down until I was finished. Gage and Darcy "run" into each other an Gage is a judgmental and obstinate as ever - He questions Darcy's character which in turn make her question herself.

Main character=annoying

The main character, Darcy, is so annoying. She is ditzy and petty. Always doing something frustrating. The book was ok. It took almost four or five hours before something exciting happened.

Great Book

I've listened to this book 3 times now :) it is good. And the second and third time I listened I still picked up new things.

Love this series

I have found a new author to read. Loving this series and ready for the next.

CAPTIVATING!

Would you consider the audio edition of Stranded to be better than the print version?

If you are an avid reader this should not make a difference; this is an awesome story!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Darcey & Gage! Their blossoming relationship and the well written mystery was captivating!

What about Christina Moores performance did you like?

Never disappointing!

Any additional comments?

The story had great mystery intertwined with God's plan but never preachy! Love this author's style!!

Critic Reviews:

"Lisa Gardner's work has the chills and thrills to excite, and the heart to draw you in." (Sandra Brown)

Members Reviews:

Maggie's Man

I'm in the middle on this one. I didn't like it as much as I'd expected to. Decent romance, decent suspense but it didn't light my fire.

Kate Rudd's tone for Maggie was too perky and cute for a heroine who's been kidnapped by a convicted felon. That was jarring and all kinds of wrong.

Mildly Entertaining, Heavy Cheese!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would change Maggie however this was published in 97' and Lisa Gardner is one of my favorite authors. Maggie made no sense to me. She is a mousy virgin yet a marriage counselor who had never been in a serious relationship. Really? A very naive and whiny character, Maggie just annoyed me. The characters were not very complex and I'm glad this book was written under Alicia Scott, Maggie is nothing like DD Warren and the other complex characters in her other series.

Would you recommend Maggie's Man to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this one to a teenager who has limited experiences, they would probably find Maggie more believable.

Have you listened to any of Kate Rudds other performances before? How does this one compare?

Never and I think Kate Rudd's narration added to the annoying qualities of Maggie and she reads men like they are cave men. errr.

Was Maggie's Man worth the listening time?

As much as I complained throughout this review, I still managed to listen to the whole book in 24 hours so it couldn't have been that bad. As I mentioned I was entertained, the book was not very complex which gave me the ability to multi-task while listening. If it was a DD Warren book or any other Lisa Gardner book, I would have been more captivated and would have stopped the multi-tasking to listen closely.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for Fear Nothing!

Too Much Bodice- and Boxer-Ripping

What did you like best about Maggie's Man? What did you like least?

Lisa Gardner's mysteries are usually among my favorites, but the Family Secrets series does not meet her usual high standards. Maggie''s Man was apparently written during the early days of Gardner's career, when she had not yet found her proper voice.

Title: Obsession

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-23-13

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 89 votes

Genres: Romance, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Set against the glittering backdrop of Paris, Obsession is the first in a sprawling, globe-spanning trilogy of intrigue - and the two star-crossed lovers swept up in it all.

When Eliah Al-Saud and Matilde Martínez meet on a flight to Paris, they have little in common. Eliah is the rich and powerful owner of a French security company - actually a front for mercenary and espionage services - while Matilde is a pediatric surgeon from Argentina whose only dream is to work in Africa helping children in need.

Despite their differences - and their current relationships - an undeniable attraction swallows them whole, driving them into a whirlwind romance and irreversibly intertwining their devastating secrets and placing them at the center of an explosive international conflict. Even if they manage to survive, will their love?

Members Reviews:

Spy, terrorist, romance, all in one.

Any additional comments?

This is translation from a Spanish trilogy series. All in all, the book was good and well plot out. The characters were likable. I like that the hero and heroine, Eliah and Metilda, were family oriented. There were a lot of things/events going on in this book that tied back to the plots and characters. The only thing that I had a hard time with was the names of the characters and how the Narrator read them with a heavy accent at time that I had a heard time understanding him. This is a good book and I enjoyed listening to it. I look forward to the next 2 in the series.

Wow

In reading the publishers review, I thought this would be a good book especially with a 24 hour length. When the book began I thought, this is the wrong book and I'm not interested. I think the narrator may have kept me going but soon I was hooked.

It also has exotic locales and settings, history, travel, romance, intrigue; everything You look for in a great novel. Wait, there is also heartbreak, betrayal and espionage.

The best part is, it's not over.

Genre: Romantic-Suspense

French accent?

Any additional comments?

If the narrator is going to use French, he should get it right. But overall he narrates well.

loved it. long

narrative was great the story was awsome u just have to pay a lot of attention to keep up.

Story great but..

The way that the narrator makes Matilda sound like a whining weakling makes me nauseous.

Publisher's Summary:

For the past three months, Eve Renner has struggled to remember the night she was nearly killed and her lover was tried for murder. She remembers getting the anxious call from a friend from her past: "Meet me at the cabin. Ive got evidence." She remembers seeing that friend lying in a pool of blood. And she remembers a horrifying glimpse of her lover Cole Denniss face as a gunshot plunged her into darkness. Now, her memory and emotions scarred, Eve has returned to New Orleans to forget the past. But the past will not be forgotten. Eves shattered memory has helped Cole walk on murder charges just as a new series of killings begins.

The latest murders are bizarre and baffling. The victims are killed in a ritual fashion, a series of numbers tattooed into their bodies. 212. 101. 111. 323. There is no clue to their meaning, no connection to the victims except one: Our Lady of Virtues Hospital, the crumbling old asylum that was once the scene of unspeakable madness. For Eve, it was a second home as a child. Her father was a doctor there, and she spent hours exploring its secret chambers, hidden rooms, and forbidden passageways. Somewhere in its decaying rooms lies the key to a terrible crime, a betrayal beyond imagining whose echoes are now being felt with a vengeance - a crime that seems to lead to Eve herself. And the only man she can trust with the search is Cole, her former lover and, just possibly, a cold-blooded killer. As forgotten memories begin to surface, bodies are found and each twist leads to another terrifying piece of the puzzle. Someone is watching, planning, luring her back to the ruins of Our Lady and the shocking truths hidden there - someone who has been waiting for this moment to strike. He is deadlier than she knows. For the sins of the past must be revealed, the crimes brought to justice, and the price paid - in blood.

Not my favorite

I found this book as I listened to it to be very disturbing if you are wanting to listen to a good psycho thriller book this would be one that you would probably want to listen to for myself I was not impressed overall with the story and how disturbing some of it was and some of the outcome.

What did you love best about Let the Dead Sleep?

This is a great book--I loved the characters. The story is set in New Orleans, the narrator does great with the accents, etc.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Let the Dead Sleep?

Discovering the identity of one of the main villains.

Have you listened to any of Natalie Rosss other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

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

Evil in the Big Easy

Any additional comments?

Get this book, especially if you are a fan of Faith Hunter, Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton, etc!!

it's a scary bust!

SPOILER ALERT (but you know what's coming anyway!)

All-American girl bereft by recent loss of her dear, dear, faultless, kind-hearted, salt-of-the-earth character father. CHECK

Handsome investigator who initially clashes with said heroine and then... well, you know the rest. CHECK

Heroine doesn't bother to clarify what her sainted father - bless him - was actually up to, and what this supposed legacy from him to her is until chapter 5, despite constant references to it by the other characters. CHECK

Heroine is supposed to be committed to doing something by way of profession - in this case she's, like, an artist - but exhibits no marked inclination to undertake any activities relating to it. Except for the occasional plot purpose (see below). CHECK

It's set in New Orleans so we get a sort of liberal, first-amendmenty tour of Voodoo from an apparent closet rationalist, not-at-all-crazy-and-scary voodoo priestess who helps us understand it's all really not-at-all-crazy-and-scary, and Good Voodoo isn't really the problem. Whew! CHECK

Comically silly villain. CHECK (not many are sillier, actually!)

And deluded menials. Who think they can harness 'the power' for themselves. Mwahahaha. CHECK

Sex scenes that manage to pitch somewhere between the comic and the turgid.

A faceless sicko, or perhaps a mad psychiatrist? Ah, its a mystery to savor.

Members Reviews:

Amusing Story

The story itself was pretty good, the writing was a bit crappy -- she needed to hang around with REAL cops or do more research to learn how to talk tough. Most of the police interaction wasn't even close to realistic but the story was amusing. Her leaping back & forward was ackwardly put, it wasn't clear exactly where you went for a paragraph or two. Expecially on the Taylor parts.

The narrators needed to be more balanced. Renee delivered her usual great performance - Paul was too lackluster and tended to make his portion drag.

A Romantic Mystery!!

Any additional comments?

Coulter does a great job of weaving mystery and romance into a story with a great plot and interesting characters that you love and detest.

I really enjoyed this story that begins with a terrible betrayal of trust and leads to violence, intrigue, romance, and vindication. Teenager Lindsay Foxe has every reason to give up after horrific treatment by her brother-in-law and receiving no support from her society family. Yet, she finds the will to become a successful young lady. The story leaves the reader wondering who continues to attack Lindsay as an adult and why they will not leave her alone. Detective Taylor provides Lindsay with the support and love that she never received from her family. Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo provide excellent performances for each of the characters.

Interminably Tedious.....

What disappointed you about Beyond Eden?

I am only half way through and don't know if I can - or even want - to finish this book. The only character in this book I can stomach is Taylor - he seems to be the only normal one in the bunch. Eden/Lindsey is a completely spineless wuss! While I could feel real sympathy for her at 16....by the time she hits her 20's, I am like, really?? Find your spine and tell that crazy moranic family to go jump off the Golden Gate bridge. Yikes, she is annoying....

Has Beyond Eden turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrators were ok - I just don't usually care for 2 narrators doing a book, it seems disjointed and often pulls you out of the story when the voices change back and forth.

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

Anger at the sheer stupidity of the main character and lack of spine. Her family is supposed to be evil - but really came across as cartoon villains. And have mercy - way too long to get the story told. Just scene after scene of this spineless woman trying to grow a set and stand up for herself.
