Publisher's Summary:

Save me, and I'll save you.... My name is Calla Price. I'm 18 years old, and I'm one half of a whole. My other half - my twin brother, my Finn - is crazy. I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I'm terrified he'll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me. I'm doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I'm drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline. Dare Dubray. He's my savior and my Antichrist. His arms are where I feel safe, where I'm afraid, where I belong, where I'm lost. He will heal me, break me, love me, and hate me. He has the power to destroy me. Maybe that's okay. Because I can't seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I'm so busy trying to figure out that I never see it coming. You won't either.

Incredible writing and a great work of fiction

You know how you finish a book and it blows you away so much that you can't really process any thoughts or feelings right away? You kinda have to collect yourself? Your mind might be spinning and you're still scratching your head? But you know in your gut that it was ONE HELL OF A BOOK. Yep. That's Nocte.

After seeing so many positive reviews, I had to take the plunge. I knew I was in for a ride just by the book blurb alone, but it was so much more. This book made me feel - concern, sadness, connection, loss, frustration, excitement. It made me think and wonder.

I felt for Calla. She has so much on her plate to deal with - her family lives in a Funeral Home, her brother and twin struggles with a mental illness, and she feels she has to be strong for everyone as she tries to figure out whether to venture out alone for college or to stick by her brother's side to make sure he's ok. I totally understood that pressure she felt and how conflicted she was about it all.

And then there was Dare DuBray...such a HOTT name. There's just something about him that makes me want to know more, and Calla felt the same pull to him. It starts with 20 questions, and as Calla and Dare get to know each other, we see how sincere, sweet, and extremely sexy he is.

"He kisses me with abandon, like hes not afraid of the consequences, like its only him and me, and theres nothing else around us."

But the most intense character for me was Finn. Man, did Courtney Cole do such a fantastic job at writing this character so well. So much so, that the reader truly knows what it's like to be in his mind. The journey takes us through Finn's struggle, with such a level of honesty and validity. I was incredibly impressed. And the relationship Calla and Finn have - much more than just siblings, but twins, one half of a whole - sucked me in further.

"Im doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but Im drowning more and more each day."

As I rode the roller coaster with them, I had no idea the ride would come to a stop where it did. The whole book, I was always five steps ahead trying to figure out what secret Calla was missing...that one she was so busy figuring out that she never saw it coming. Yeah, neither did I. Two words: MIND BLOWN.

Both the narrators were incredible with this book.

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times best-selling author Katie Ashley revs up the danger and sexual tension in her brand-new Vicious Cycle romance series.

Deacon Malloy's life is dedicated to the Hell's Raiders motorcycle club. Tough, hard, and fast with his fists, he serves the group as sergeant at arms. But his devil-may-care approach to life is thrown for a loop when the five-year-old daughter he never knew existed lands on the club steps.

Alexandra Evans is devoted to all her students - but there's always been something about Willow Malloy that tugs at her heart. There's an aura of sadness about her, a girl in need of all the love Alexandra can give. When Willow stops coming to school, Alexandra's search leads to a clubhouse full of bikers...and a father hell-bent on keeping his daughter always within sight.

The moment Deacon sees Alexandra, he has to have her in his bed - and he's never met a woman yet who couldn't be persuaded. No matter how attracted she is to Deacon, Alexandra refuses to be just another conquest. But it's Deacon himself who could be seduced - into a brighter future for himself, his daughter, and the woman he's falling for against all odds.

WHAT AN EMOTIONAL, ENTERTAINING & ENJOYABLE RIDE

Welcome to the world of the Hell's Raiders MC where Deacon their handsome, dangerous and sexy Sergeant At Arms is about to get the shock of his life..... and one that will ultimately change his life too. He's your typical Alpha Biker with an arrogant hardened heart which initially doesn't make him likeable but when he opens up and softens up then it puts him into the loveable rogue category. It's when his daughter's Teacher Alexandra comes on the scene that there's a significant character growth as they slowly become close, share their deepest secrets and fall in love..... and the Hound Dog becomes a Pussycat.... well not quite.

But there is so much more to this listen, it starts off with the murder that forces Willow, his 5 year old daughter, to need her Father - a Father who has no idea he is one and doesn't know how to be one either. He's quite happy as he is lethal, potent and hard (in all ways) but he is dragged from a Sweet Butt's (Club Slut) very willing erm 'arms' by his frantic brother who has the shocking news for him. For a short while things settle but a vicious enemy returns threatening retribution and Willow is pulled from school but her Teacher Alexandra will do anything for her.... even go to the infamous Biker Club to help however she wasn't prepared for Deacon's mesmerising pull, a pull that will get her beaten, nearly raped, will make a murderer out of her and will reveal a shocking discovery.

There's violence, banter, suspense, shocks, twists, h-h-hot sex, romance, passion, revelations, murder and much more in this action packed and fast paced Biker story that also has humor and tender parts too. However the main story is the simmering attraction between Deacon and Alex which leads to a beautiful romance which blends two cultures as the timid Teacher learns how to tame her man and the Alpha predator learns how to feel and love again. Great secondary characters made up by Willow, his family and the other Members of the Hell's Raiders MC.

Danica Snow has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister Program, she has little time for anything more in her life.

Blake Carter is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn't know how to stop doing what he does best.

When Blake walks into Danica's office, the attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn't the type to give into the heat and risk her career. Danica's desire sets her on a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every decision she's ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge in the pleasures of life she's been so willingly ignoring, but with her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister's promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn't sure it's the right time to set her desires free.

Critic Reviews:

Voted Best Book Series by Supportive Business Moms, UK

"A beautiful story about love and self-growth and finding that balance to happiness. Powerfully written and riveting from beginning to end." (Jane Porter)

Members Reviews:

The first is still one of the best.

I read this book over a year ago, but was given the opportunity to listen to it on audio. I picked up on many details I either missed or forgot from reading it. The narration was good and the inflection in B.J. Harrison's voice was great. I can't wait to listen to more audiobooks by Melissa.

More than a romance

What made the experience of listening to Sisters in Love the most enjoyable?

The story was heartwarming and the characters were so rich and real. There are so many things going on in the story but it all works together nicely with Danica as the center common point.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sisters in Love?

There were many, but one in particular that stands out for me is when Kaylie realizes she is in love with Chaz and says it out loud in the quiet church during Camille's wedding.

What does B.J. Harrison bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

BJ has a very nice voice. His tone and cadence is perfect for narrating a book. I enjoyed listening to is voice. For me I don't think he brought anything extra having already read the book myself a few years ago.

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

There were many moving moments for me but I would have to say one that stands out is when Blake realizes that Dave is the one who died on the mountain.

Any additional comments?

I loved the story just as much listening as I did when I first read it years ago. I only wish there had been a female narrator to voice Danica.

Fantastic story with nice narrator :)

I read Sisters in love and loved the story so when it came up to review for Audible, I thought why not I already love the story so why not review it in audio form. I wasn't disappointed the story was still as good as it was when I read it the first time.

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 201 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A companion (alternate POV) novel to the USA Today best-selling book Leo.

Does everyone deserve a second chance? Even someone who lies and deceives to get it? Do we all have a second chance coming? Even if we play a part in our own destruction? How hard would you fight to have a second chance at love? A second chance at life? Another chance to tell your own story? Every love story has two sides. Evie told hers. This time it's Leo's chance.

This is a POV novel of Leo (Leo should be listened to first).

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this audiobook is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Members Reviews:

Gritty, deep and makes your heart beat.

What did you like best about this story?

That Leo was so afraid of showing who he really was for fear of judgement and she loved him anyway.

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

Yes for sure!

Love Leo's POV

Leo's POV adds another dimension to Leo's story, from Evie's POV. What this man endured as a teen is inexplicable. How he survived is nothing short of amazing. I credit Leo himself and Dr Fox for his acceptance that he is worth it.

It is sad he was unable to have the father-son relationship that I think they both desired. As for Lauren, "what goes around comes around", and may she rot in hell.

Their story is not without difficulties but when they truly discover each other again their lives become what they always hoped for and dreamed of.

The epilogue was perfect.

Even better!

Loved Leo's POV. It was the story that was in Leo's voice and it was great. Not like some of the other books that had a males POV where it was repeated from the 1st book. Although some of it was duplicated not so much as if you were listening to the same exact story. Very different POV.

Sweet Handling of Tough Subjects

What did you love best about Leos Chance?

Smooth delievery

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tanner because I relate to him more than the others

Which character as performed by Joe Arden was your favorite?

Tanner

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

This is a feel good story. It has so many factors which could have caused major dramatics, but they're handled with grace. Steve is a 39 year old HIV-positive man who lost his life partner. Tanner is a socially awkward virgin who is in love with his friend's dad (Steve).

These two smoothly ease into a relationship and handle everything maturely. I'm a fan of not having manufactured drama. I love the sweetness. McFarland's Farm (book 1) was better for me, but I do recommend Jesse's Diner to someone looking for a cute, pleasant, lovable read.

A perfect POV follow up

This was one of the best character point of view follow ups I have ever listened to. Mia Sheridan is amazing at weaving her stories. I love everything she writes. Great listen I highly recommend listening after you listen/read Leo.

Members Reviews:

OH MY!

My new book boyfriend is Denver! I'm really looking forward to Armies story...well truly I'm looking forward to learning more about about all of the guys and their girls.

Big disappointment

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

Corupt cops, foster care, low income, doingwhats rights, good concquering bad, hard work and effort paying off. Past books have been excellent at spinning the tales. This ones a DUD. It drags and drags, plot is slow to resolve. Agonizingly slow. Repetative, very much a rehash of previous work. Not worth your time or money. Run the Risk and Getting Rowdy tell the same story but so much better.

HOT and interesting!

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

yes, Good "listening"

Who was your favorite character and why?

Male and female lead

What about Jim Frangiones performance did you like?

I enjoy this narration tone.

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

Enjoyed the entire book!

Must buy!

A great series as stand alone or group. This one has an alpha male and a real woman. Fun and sexy!

Must read book and series!

Lori foster does an amazing job writing her books. I love every book I read from her. Loved this book and can't wait till the next book comes out!!

Publisher's Summary:

The emotional and unforgettable new romance from the New York Times best-selling author of the On Dublin Street series.

Alexa Holland's father was her hero - until her shocking discovery that her mother and she weren't his only family. Ever since, Alexa has worked to turn her life in a different direction and forge her own identity outside of his terrible secrets. But when she meets a man who's as damaged by her father's mistakes as she is, Alexa must help him.

Caine Carraway wants nothing to do with Alexa's efforts at redemption, but it's not so easy to push her away. Determined to make her hate him, he brings her to the edge of her patience and waits for her to walk away. But his actions only draw them together and, despite the odds, they begin an intense and explosive affair.

Only Caine knows he can never be the white knight that Alexa has always longed for. And when they're on the precipice of danger, he finds he'll do anything to protect either one of them from being hurt again....

Members Reviews:

Yummy bad boy... strong heroine...

Any additional comments?

One thing I can say for Samantha Young is that she makes her female characters strong. Which for me is a big PLUS in a book. Having said that I think Alexa Holland was weaker than her past heroines have been but I still liked her. As for Caine Carraway... well he was your Rich, Hot, Bad Boy Boss! Scarred by his past and not willing to let anyone in. Which is the way we like them, right ladies? The story was ok... to some extent similar to many of the books out there now. So you might say then why did you give it 4 stars if you have heard it all before? Well... because even though I have read many books with this particular theme, Samantha Young's particular style of writing still makes it better then most and she is BRILLIANT in who she picks to narrate her books! Angelica Lee was perfect in her narration of this book and I truly believe that adds to the overall enjoyment of the book. If you are new to this author and you enjoy this book you need to read her On Dublin Street Series, it's amazing and once again the narration is fabulous.

IT BLEW ME AWAY & LEFT ME ON A HERO HIGH

Their's was a love/hate relationship as Alexa and Caine's first meeting was disastrous and it didn't get much better after that as tensions, tempers and a life-altering shared family secret in their pasts, made their relationship very volatile. But there was high sexual tension between them and an explosive chemistry which came across so well with witty banter, moody melodrama and longing looks which took just one passionate kiss to ignite it into a frenzied affair.

But Caine, the handsome self-made billionaire, was a man who had secrets, kept a hard shell around his damaged heart and always professed he's never in it for the long haul. His jackass behaviour reached epic heights with Alexa however she was strong, feisty and caring and she saw beyond it all, understood him, loved him and hoped she might just be the one to uncover the real Caine if only he'd let her in rather than let her go.

Alexa and Caine were two great characters and the brilliantly written intense, emotional passion filled story had me sucked in as there was just the right balance between humor, drama, angst, sex, thrills, twists and heartache.

Publisher's Summary:

I've hated him since middle school.

The effortlessly popular lacrosse superstar--beautiful, blue-eyed nightmare Emerson Sawyer. Funny thing is he didn't even know I existed until our senior year, when his mom started hooking up with my dad. Now he torments me in the hallways, calling me "sis" whenever he gets the chance, relishing in the fact that I can't hide my blushing whenever he's around. Even though I can't stand him, my body betrays me--and he loves it.

Emerson and his mom just moved in with us, and as if crushing on him weren't weird enough, now our bedrooms share a wall. The sexual tension keeps building between us, but I know nothing can ever happen...especially now that our parents are engaged. I try to tell myself that I hate him, that he's wrong for me, that we'll never be together....

So why did I agree to play Seven Minutes in Heaven at his girlfriend's high-school party? And why does Emerson suddenly have my panties in his hands?

Stepbrother Billionaire is a standalone audiobook. It contains adult themes, harsh language, and graphic sexual content.

Members Reviews:

Good story. Terrible reader

It was great how Emerson and Abby found each other twice and ended up together despite their hardships. This book would have been so much better if the reader hadn't been racing to the end. Going more slowly, having pauses, using more expression would have made this book so much better.

Did she even take a breath!

I DNF after chapter 1. Worst narrator. Read the book. It's not a sprint. How did she even breathe? Wow

Not mad at it

The story wasn't bad, I did want to see more develop in the second half... The narrator never changed voices or cadence for the characters when they grew up so they always sounded like teenaged. Didn't care for that.

I felt like I was on speed.

The story is a good love story of having found the love of your life twice. But the narrator was horrible. I felt like she was rushing through the entire thing didn't take a breath like she was trying to rush through the story. And when you lower the speed on your phone it drags her words out but not in a good way so there was no way to slow it down.

Really?

Ok so this book drove me insane! The beginning was so rushed that you felt that the main characters couldn't have really known each other at all, making the rest of the book complete and utter rubbish. Come on authors develop your characters please.

It's a real shame because the story idea was nice with two troubled teens who are forbidden to be together due to family circumstances and troubles, getting a second chance later in life to make their dreams come true.....unfortunately the writing was juvenile (sorry but it was) and the plot was shaky throughout, and I just didn't like any of the characters because they were so underdeveloped

The narrator has a nice voice but she seemed to speed talk some of her way through the book, so much so that I actually checked to make sure I'd not increased the narration speed by accident.

I suppose I've read worse but I don't feel I can recommend this book....this book needs a good editor and a complete rewrite.

Publisher's Summary:

Rex Braden is wealthy, hard-working, and fiercely loyal. Sweat at his brow, he works the family ranch by day, then kicks back at night with part time lovers who require nothing more than his physical presence a few times each week. But that was before. Before Jade Johnson, the daughter of the man his father has been feuding with for over 40 years, moves back into town.

After ditching a horrific relationship - and her veterinary practice in the process - Jade Johnson returns to the safety of her small hometown and finally finds her footing. That is...until her horse is injured and Rex Braden comes to her rescue. The last thing she needs is a bull-headed, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Braden complicating her life.

Despite the angry family history, sparks fly between Rex and Jade, and attitudes follow. Fifteen years of stifled, forbidden love stirs a surge of passion too strong for either to deny - and the rebel in each of them rears its powerful head. Loyalties are tested, and relationships are strained. Rex and Jade are about to find out if true love really can conquer all.

Awesome story!

I loved this book and the one before this. It had the right amount of sex scenes and regular relationship interactions. I will definitely read all the other books in the series.

4 Family Feuds + Their Star Crossed Lovers Stars

4 "Family Feuds and Their Star Crossed Lovers" Stars for the story and narration.

Destined for Love is perfect for lovers of the forbidden love trope, particularly Romeo & Juliet styled romances. Whether you have already fallen in love with the Bradens, are a fan of Western romances, or are just looking for a sweet, feel-good romance, Destined for Love is likely to appeal to a large audience of romance lovers. Moreover, BJ Harrison's smooth, tranquil voice makes this a good audiobook format choice for sitting back and relaxing to a heart-felt tale.

The hero of this story is Rex--Treat Braden's brother from book 1, Lovers at Heart. Rex is your good all-American cowboy who runs his family's ranch. He's the kind of guy who is an alpha hero and who you can count on both in terms of loyalty and protection. So imagine his conflict at the realization that the one woman who really ignites his feelings of love and desire is the one woman he cannot under any circumstances have because she is a Johnson, the family that borders his family's ranch and his family's sworn enemy due to a feud between the two family patriarchs.

Jade had always had a crush on Rex, but when she left town she never thought she would get a chance to explore her feelings for Rex given the family feud. Then several years later she returns. She now has a successful veterinarian practice and has lived through and moved on from a bad relationship, but still feels those same familiar stirrings when she sees Rex. And then Rex comes to her rescue, and they both feel those feelings stir, even if the same old family feud still stands in the way.

Will Jade and Rex get a real chance to explore their attraction to one another? Moreover, will they be the glue that finally finds resolution for the family feud between the Bradens and Johnsons or will the feud become an inconquerable obstacle to their love?

Publisher's Summary:

Rob Matheson's a fighter. Flattening enemies with his fists or with his legendary practical jokes, he's a tough enemy, and a troublesome friend. But Rob doesn't know how much longer he can keep up the act. As his buddies get married one by one, he's left with his lonely life - and the sinking feeling he lost more than his dreams when he traded them for a thick skin. Now Rob's father has issued a challenge - he'll give 200 acres of prime Montana ranchland to the first of his four sons to wed. No conditions, no meddling. Could this be a chance to become the man he really wants to be?

Morgan Tate's worked for years to climb the ladder to a top job at Cassidy Wineries, but Duncan Cassidy, the boss' son, always stands in her way. Now he's issued an ultimatum; marry him or he'll make sure she never works in the wine industry again. Morgan wants marriage - and a family - but not with Duncan. A certain cowboy in Chance Creek, Montana, has stolen her heart.

When Rob offers Morgan a proposition - marry him and split the land - they both find themselves with an ethical dilemma. They don't know each other well enough to wed, but they can't lie about their intentions before God and man, either. Now they've got sixty days to fall in love, and a passel of family and friends determined to keep them apart. The victims of Rob's previous jokes are lining up to get their revenge, and Morgan's half-sister, Claire, is stirring up their mother's past.

Will it take the biggest practical joke of all to convince the world - and themselves - that they're truly meant to be man and wife?

Members Reviews:

A refreshing love story

Rob and Morgan don't follow the norm. They talk, choose and support each other instead of keeping secrets.

Another Great Cowboy Story by Cora Seton!

Would you listen to The Cowboy Imports a Bride again? Why?

I loved the plot, characters and how everything came together. I liked the fact that all through this story Rob and Morgan were a united front no matter what came their way. It wasn't like the other stories where the female moaned about everything she didn't like and didn't doing anything about changing it except making the situation worse. Also I get tired of the story lines where all through the story the H&H are "fighting" their feelings and aren't always on the same page. These two were just the opposite and I loved that!

What other book might you compare The Cowboy Imports a Bride to and why?

These stories are a lot like Lori Wilde's small town series.

Which character as performed by Amy Rubinate was your favorite?

I still like Ethan. He is the rock in the family and the voice of reason. However, he can stand his ground when he needs to. I liked Rob in this book because he finally "grew up" and stood up for who he was and the woman he loved.

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

The scene where Holt offered to walk Morgan down the isle and made the comment about if he was up to it he would go kick her father's a$$ because he should have been there on her wedding day.I still don't like Claire's character but I'm glad she finally offered to give Ethan some of the money he had to give her back because if he had to take on her parent's debt then Claire should have helped out as well.
