Publisher's Summary:

Ethan Matthews always felt he was second best. His brother received all the praise, never him. Ethan took a dark, lonely road, turning to alcohol and women to avoid the jealousy that ate away at him. But the demons of his past continued to resurface. He decided to turn his life around with the help of the person he treated the worst -- his brother.

Piper Lazara struggled for most of her life. She lost almost everyone she loved and lived in poverty. Despite the obstacles, she worked hard and finished nursing school. She never believed in love at first sight, so she tried dismissing her feelings when Ethan entered her life, leaving her heart and head at war over whether she'd take a chance on love.

Ethan knew he shouldn't get involved with anyone at this turning point of his life, but from the moment he laid eyes on her, he couldn't stop thinking about the raven-haired beauty. He didn't know if she felt the same, but it was time he found out. Their lives were in danger, causing family to step in and offer support. Ethan would do whatever it took to protect the woman who had become his everything. He never thought he deserved happiness, but Piper gave him the redemption he so desperately desired.

A great read!

A read that kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting for the next line, for the next page, for the next chapter. A read full of surprises. A read full of redemption. An amazing love story!

The narrator has got some serious talent. He draws you in from the very first word spoken. Well done! An excellent voice.

Perfect for readers of second chance romances/romantic suspense.

Wow!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. This book is both a standalone listen and part of a series. The highlight of this book is Ethan and Piper, while Owen & Cali from My Salvation are mentioned in this story. In fact, Ethan and Piper meet at their wedding in Hawaii. I loved the twists and turns this book had, and thought it was nice that two flawed people had a second chance at finding redemption through love. The author did a great job with the suspense and action in this story along with so many real emotions. Their journey was not smooth sailing, and it seemed like the obstacles were going to defeat them, but determination and hope prevail. The narrator, Logan McAllister did an excellent performance with this book. His voice is so nice to listen to. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Pretty amazing!

I wasn't sure what to expect in this and after reading a few reviews before diving in realized I may be a little lost because I skipped the first book. That aside this is amazing. I will be getting the first book. I don't know what happened to the first characters but from what I read I cannot wait to see how their story began. This was such a great book.

Michelle Dare does a great job getting you hooked in and pulls you along as the story grows. It is a great 2nd chance love story with a good amount of suspense and a good bit of sex. Very well written and very fun to listen to!

The narrator Logan McAllister has got one amazing voice. I look forward to many more form him. He was great at conveying the emotions of the situation. Once I realized what type of book this was going to be I wont lie I was surprised a man was reading it.

Members Reviews:

Loved it! J.T. Does it again!!!

I am a huge fan of J.T. and I was anticipating this audio like crazy. Happy to say it exceeded every expectation and then some!! IT creates characters with such detail and background that they seem so real and you can't help but get immersed. The ups and downs are constant, the twist are very clever and the conclusion is very satisfying. Melissa Moran brings to life these characters with great nuances and she does amazing work with accents. Such a great ride!!

Funny, with unique story

Loved Ryans personality. Refreshing plot, different to the usual romantic thrillers. Would recommend to others wanting some humour.

Publisher's Summary:

What do you do when you can't control your feelings for someone? When you know you shouldn't go there? Not even in your head.

Annie has never experienced the 'spark' with a guy - the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It's not just a spark that ignites between them. It's an explosion. Jack promises to consume Annie, and he fully delivers on that promise.

Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, Annie slips out of their hotel room. She is certain that a man who's had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily must be dangerous. But she's already in too deep. And Jack isn't only dangerous. He is forbidden.

Members Reviews:

More like The Everyday.

Im a huge JEM fan, but I think ever since shes made it big, it doent matter what she writes. Annie meets Jack in a bar, theres a few lines of banter, and then they have sex. But wait...hes married. She finds out, he said its the first time. His wife is a bitch, and controlling. Isnt that what they all say.

Well anyway, they continue their affair for months. And then I become too bored in the story and never finished. The narrator was bad, and I didnt even recognize this as a JEM novel. I felt no chemistry in these two characters.

Disappointed

I couldn't wait for this book and then I was let down by the narrator's voice she sounded so childish and girly , I liked the premise of the story even if it was sooo predictable. There was even parts that reminded me of 'this man trilogy' (loved being on central cloud 9). But this was boring. I still love Jody Ellen so keep writing

What's the moral if this story?

Why does this author hate women? I couldn't finish the "This Man" series after the second book. This was hard to finish. Maybe I'm biased because I'm married but I disliked this one. I don't know why the author makes these women out to be so spineless and weak.

I enjoyed the first few chapters and even got excited when the story took an unexpected turn. Then the more I listened on I kept disliking the character the author initially built in my head. Annie, begins the story as a smart architect with a good head on her shoulders then asks for trouble with "the forbidden". Everything that happens to her in this book is her own doing. It was not romantic. Steamy scenes were good but I couldn't get on board. I disliked Jack the entire book and until the very end I thought he had his own hidden agenda.

The author continues to write about women being abused mentally. I have officially written her off. She needs to come out with a novel where the woman takes charge, is smart and doesn't let a man take control of her future or treat her like crap. Overall I was disappointed. The moral of the story being don't go for the guy bending you over at a bar or you'll suffer the consequences.

Publisher's Summary:

Working as an informant for the DEA, Victoria Monzelle is used to living on the edge. But she's not a big fan of getting kidnapped. And definitely not by a bunch of bad boy witches with fancy-colored fire to shoot at people. So when Adam Dunne shows up and claims to be a witch enforcer, she's not going to put her life in his hands based on his word, no matter how smooth and smart and beautifully Irish his words sound. But on the run from a tribunal of witches, she isn't going to make it far....

Before she knows it, Adam's word is all that stands between her and execution. Sophisticated, just-gotta-ruffle-him Adam has vowed to make her his one eternal mate - wild and unpredictable as she is - to save her from a sentence of certain death. But Tori isn't interested in being anyone's pity date. And if they think she's unpredictable now, they should see what's coming next....

Critic Reviews:

"Non-stop action and a hero to die for!" (Alexandra Ivy)

"Narrator Brock Thompson delivers an Irish brogue for immortal enforcer Adam Dunne, whose love interest is mortal Victoria Monzelle, an American musician. Thompson excels at Adam's persona, especially his lilting accent. He's equally talented at depicting Adam and Victoria's bedroom scenes." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Great Listen!!

I loved this book and ended up texting Rebecca regarding the dedication! It was awesome!! So was this book! Its a great continuation of the story and series and makes you want more!

Filled with moments of suspense as well as thrills, WICKED KISS had it all, including romance!

The characters are well developed and readers will connect with them.

Narrator Review:

I love Brock's performance! He brings life to all the characters and has a very yummy voice. This is a perfect match between author and narrator!

Overall, a great read that makes you want more!

I'm not sure if it's the narration or the content:

This series has been somewhat boring compared to others, by this author'

Also, they should consider dual narration, if they intend to continue with this narrator. he does great with male voices but the female voices, not so much.

-V from Kansas

great

Release date: 07-31-17

Publisher: K Webster

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes

Genres: Romance, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

This standalone is best enjoyed when you don't read any reviews or spoilers. Going in blind is best. Trust me.

When my eyes are closed, the monster can't see me.

When I sing a song in my head, the monster can't hear me.

When I pretend my bedroom is a playground where I play hide-and-seek, the monster can't find me.

The darkness should frighten me.

I should worry I'll find more monsters...monsters scarier than him.

But I'm not afraid.

It's safe here.

When I'm inside of my head....

He. Can't. Ever. Touch. Me.

Warning: Whispers and the Roars is a dark romance. Strong sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. The abuse written in this story is graphic and not glossed over, which could be upsetting to some. This story is not for everyone. Proceed with caution.

4 Stars

Wow that was a wild ride! I don't want to give any spoilers so I'm just going to say that in the beginning I was confused because I couldn't figure out what was going on but when it finally came together I had my suspicions and I was right but not to that extreme! Wow! But beware if you have triggers read some of the spoiler reviews first, if you don't have trigger issues go on blind, I think it made all the difference!

The narration was good, the female voice was a little to childish for me but they both did an awesome job on so many different voices!

Wow.

Just. Wow. Can I have some more stars, please? Impossible to review without spoiling other than to say the character development and narration were extraordinary.

Go into this book blind and deaf..

This story blew my mind, what is left of it anyway, made me say holy shit more than a few times, and left me with a tear in my beautiful eyes and a smirk on my lips.... I love floating around the dark coradors of K.W's brilliant mind.....

Awesome

So, just as the author writes, just listen to it. It's great and as always Eric and Kylie are awesome!

Love this author, but this one was a toss up for me

While I love K Webster and have read great things by her, this one was a toss up for me. In fact the first 3/4 of the book I was thinking they must have gotten the author wrong, it just didn't feel like K Webster. I was actually rather bored and I've never been bored by her before. It did pick up and get a bit more interesting, but I still wasn't left with that feeling you get after a good book. It wasn't bad, it was just a little slow. I think some of it had to do with the male narrator. While I do enjoy his voice immensely, (very sexy voice) he just sounds like he's reading words off a page. Had he been a little less reader and a lot more voice actor I think it would have held my interest better. He has huge potential, and I'm sure one day he'll be great! Kylie did great. Overall I'd say about 3 1/2 stars. I did like that I didn't see that conclusion coming. It definitely had its redeeming qualities, so if you get halfway and you're considering throwing in the towel, keep going it gets better. Eric if you're reading this keep at it you have huge potential!

AN EPIC SAGA OF MURDER, MAYHEM, MYSTERY & LOVE

I knew L. A. Fiore was good.. but, with this breathtaking epic romance that spans years, she has truly excelled herself in every way. In the Prologue you're transported back in time to witness a Spanish Sea Captain writing to his beloved wife before his galleon sinks. Then, centuries later chapter one starts in 1999.. teenage Willow is living with her loving grandfather because her absentee uncaring parents are far too busy searching for lost treasures in far flung places across the globe. Willow's grandfather runs a Museum and it's there that Willow becomes fascinated with archeology and her fanciful yet brilliant mind ponders over what wondrous stories the objects could tell about their long dead owners and the drastically different lives they once led.

In 1999 we also meet Kace a fourteen yr old homeless boy who was forced to grow up the hard way.. in foster care and then on the streets. The friendships he formed with Snake, Einstein and a few others will last a lifetime as they form an unbreakeable Brotherhood.. and these likeminded friends will, through hardship and bad times, eventually become Kace's trusted pirate comrades as they embark on a dangerous life of pillage and plunder aboard stolen ships with a very different Kace at the helm. But before then he first meets an angel.

Over the years Willow had also developed a fascination with the ocean so incorporated both in her chosen career of discovering lost treasures lying beneath the ocean. After graduating Willow travels to Cancun to see what treasures lurk within its collections of antiquities.. and it's there that she meets a handsome young man called Kace. Kace was first struck by his angel's vibrant red hair.. then it was her kindness, her beauty, her free spirit, her magical thoughts of times gone by, her beautiful heart and their soul-to-soul connection that totally captivated him. They were instantly attracted to each other.. soulmates.. lovers who'd had very different lives.. and who were destined for very different futures. But before Willow left Cancun Kace gave her a centuries old Captain's Journal that would, years later, send them off on a quest to find a sunken galleon, retrieve a very special necklace, return it to its rightful heir and let the world know of a doomed Spanish love story.

Wonderful Christian book

This is the best book I have listened to by Ms Coble...I have listened to many of them. The bad man is a complete surprise at the end. This is a wonderful Christian book...and a clean read...and talk about a mystery! Wow!!!! I highly recommend this book to one and all!!!!!

Amazing story, suspenseful, intriguing!

Amazing story, Suspenseful, intriguing. Could not read if fast enough. Like so many Colleen Coble stories. Strong characters, great story, lots of surprise. Can't wait for the next book!

Fell Flat For Me

I am not sure what I thought this was going to be about, but when I started this I was surprised and was excited to get into this. It started off with a bang!

As the story went on, I was just not excited and was finding myself bored. This had so much potential but just fell flat for me.

Fascinating!

Loved the romance and character development. Grieved the loss of life and celebrated the healing of the wounded souls.

So well written!

You think you know whats happening, until you dont! Absolutely fantastic read, well narrated and great mystery.

Genres: Romance, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

In the second novel in acclaimed author Sandra Owens's Aces & Eights series, passions - and tempers - flare as one star-crossed couple gets a second chance at love.

Covert FBI agent Court Gentry loves his brothers, his job, and his Harley-Davidson. Once he loved a girl, too, but when she broke his heart, he put his emotions on lockdown...until she crosses his path again.

On vacation six years ago, free-spirited Lauren Montgomery fell hard for Court Gentry. She returned home happier than ever, only to descend into a spiral of abuse by her ex-husband, Stephan. When Stephan threatened to kill any man who touched her, Lauren cut Court from her life - but not from her heart.

When Lauren and Court reunite after her friend marries his brother, Court guards himself against the person who made him feel such intense passion and pain. Except the undeniable spark between them is impossible to contain and heating up fast. Six years ago, it was love. Now, it's just lust. Keeping it merely physical is a foolproof plan...right?

When Stephan is released from prison, Lauren can't outrun her past anymore, and Court vows to protect her. But with Lauren in imminent danger, Court must question his heart and risk his life to save the woman he never stopped loving.

Members Reviews:

Disappointing...

Would you try another book from Sandra Owens and/or Sebastian York and Amy McFadden ?

The character personalities were immature, they came off as hormonal teenagers playing at being adults. The storyline felt forced with unrealistic emotions. Poorly written, with even worse female narration. I will avoid all books narrated by the female narrator.

Awesome hero and heroine!

This second audiobook in the Aces and Eights series was so far my favorite. The heroine and hero meet on Spring Break, but when they part she tells him it's over and breaks his heart. What he never knew was that she was brutally beaten by her ex-husband because she refused to tell him where she had been and who she had been with, while threatening to kill the man she'd spent time with. Years pass with her ex in prison, but news comes that he is nearing parole. At the same time her path crosses with the hero again, who is an FBI agent along with his 2 brothers. The truth comes out and now the fight to protect her is on. Excellent narration and looking forward to the next story in the series!

Decent Story and Decent Narration

So this story was pretty decent. I did like the previous book much better. I think that is because of the romance portion, I just didn't feel the connection between Court and Lauren that much. I did like the story line and the very bad ex husband. I like the undercover FBI agent's owning a biker bar too. There was a lot of dialogue throughout the entire book which was great.

I am totally looking forward to then next book in this series. I hope it comes out soon.

As for the narration, it was good. Although Sebastian York can read a medical journal and its like ear candy, I do wish he would try to change his voice for the female characters and people with accents. This wasn't Amy McFadden's best narration either but it wasn't horrible.

Best duo of narrators

I just love these two narrators. Sandra is a solid writer that has you laughing, crying and on the edge of you seat all at the same time.

Publisher's Summary:

Mob enforcer Ceaton Mercer has killed a lot of people in a lot of different ways - he stashed the last two bodies in a toolshed belonging to a sweetheart marine researcher in an idyllic island community - but he's really not such a bad guy. Over time he's found a home of sorts, and he even learns he's found a place in the hearts of the people he works with...at least enough so that they won't put a bullet in his head because he's outlived his usefulness to the boss.

But he never thought he'd find one day could change his life, and he's about to discover how wrong he is.

Because in a single day, he meets the man who looks to be the one, the love of his life. It's an improbable idea - a man who deals in death finding love - but it's like it's meant to be. That single day gets weirder and troubles pile up, forcing Ceaton to take a hard look at his dreary life and accept that one day can change everything, especially himself. His future might be brighter than he expects - if he can stay alive long enough to find out.

Members Reviews:

5 Stars!

Any additional comments?

After I finished reading A Day Makes, I immediately thought, "I cannot wait for the audio! I need this on audio!"

Now that I've listened to it I can quite simply say: Greg Tremblay made this even better, and I didn't even think that was possible.

He does such fantastic character voices, especially the accents (of which there were MANY), which were all done brilliantly.

Now, it's true that I'm a Calmesaniac. I make no bones that Mary Calmes writes the kind of crack I'm addicted to.

But this story? What a fantastic ride you guys! Seriously, that was like the best roller coaster, and when you get off you immediately want to ride it again.

Mary Calmes always manages to take a first person single POV and make it so dynamic and enthralling that I cannot help but love it.

Our POV this time is solely from Ceaton Mercer, a mob enforcer with a conscience. Think that's an oxymoron? Nope. Mary Calmes pulls it off in a way it not only makes sense, but I was absolutely on board with Ceaton's decisions. I love how Ceaton's doing his best to be as ethical as possible in situations that don't normally find themselves to be on anyone's moral compass. Ceaton is making the best out of some truly hard situations.

The first half of the story sets up Ceaton and his friends, Pravi, Luka, and Marko, while the second half focuses on a single day in the life in where Ceaton meets his future, in more ways than one, learns some truth about his past and the lives he's saved and changed forever. And folks? Get ready for some ties to the past.

Now, this is sort of a slow burn. Though there's some romance (and sexy times) it doesn't come until later in the story, but it's definitely worth the wait. I absolutely loved Ceaton and Brin! I loved the banter, the action, the suspense, the Easter eggs...I loved it all!

All I can say without spoiling this was that I thought this was fantastic and sets up a possible series brilliantly.
