Title: Colters' Lady

Publisher's Summary:

When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he's serving, he's gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him. For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley - until Seth offers her a place to stay. She's wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist. Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they'd follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can't ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection - and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her past.

Members Reviews:

A new generation of Colters to drool over!

Colters' Lady follows the children of the characters in the first book of this series, 'Colters' Woman'. Seth encounters a homeless woman and is instantly smitten, as are his brothers when they meet her. Lily is living rough trying to forget a traumatic past, but also feels the instant connection.

This is another of Maya Banks more unrealistic romance novels where the men instantly know that they want to spend the rest of their lives with just one woman without knowing anything about her. Having said that, this story is pure enjoyable romance but it also tackles a very sad event that had me at times tearing up in both sympathy and empathy.

It isn't necessary to read Colter's Lady to know what is going on in this story; all characters are introduced and explained (although, that is a great book too and recommended). Worth a credit? Yes, but it is pretty cheap, so I'd say save your credit for more expensive offerings.

Wonderful Colter Men

When I read the first book of this series, I was thinking to myself that this story is quite unbelievable. I am a huge fan of Maya Banks Highlanders series. Which is why I read book one and book two of the Colter Legacy. I still cant grasp the idea of three men sharing the same woman, without jealousy or bickering and everything just comes together as normal. But then again, we read books (or listen to them) to get lost within a world not of our own. So keeping that in mind, I enjoyed listening to this book. I can do believe that the sex scenes in this book were a lot tender and emotional than the first book. The Colter men in book struggled with their emotions for Lilly more than the men in the first book. I was content with the ending of the book and the personal growth of Lilly by the end. I think she is a much stronger person at the end of the book.

Jeffery does a great job with the voices during this book. He knows when to add the right amount of emotion during the scene to pull you further into the book. I will be reading the next book, Colters Daughter.

Just Ok

What did you like best about Colters' Lady? What did you like least?

I did not like the weak lead lady. The reader is very good.

What was most disappointing about Maya Bankss story?

not her best, just oK.

Members Reviews:

Not a Bad Story - Bad Narrator

Pete Ohms was not bad, just not good. What happened to Shari Peele who has done a number of Ms. Jackson's books? Maybe Pete will get better he sounded creepy in some parts and it threw the story off for me.

I usually like Brenda Jackson books especially the Westmorelands. I got through the book, but it was not easy. The story was decent, but it was hard listening to this guy. I had already pre-ordered another book before I listened to this one. Not sure I want to listen to this guy again.

The book was okay, I enjoyed the development of the characters and how the story evolved when I ignored the narrator which was not an easy thing to do. This is a pretty typical Brenda Jackson book. Family, love story, professionals and same love story ending. I am truly happy Ms. Jackson is putting more of her books on audible.

I will listen to my new book and hope for the best. If you like Brenda Jackson's style you will probably like this book. Hopefully most of you won't find the narrator as bad I did.

Tonight and Forever was a Great book

Great read, looking forward to the next one. Wonderful story, with a sexy plot. Will move on to the next one.

I loved it

If you could sum up Tonight and Forever in three words, what would they be?

Sweet, Sexy Seduction

What did you like best about this story?

I like how Justin taught Lorren the true meaning of love. After the number Lorren's ex husband put on her, I thought he would never break through to her heart. Lorren came off as this insecure damsel in distress, but in the end she toughed up and did what she had to do to get her man. I love the Madaris family, they are definately a close family. I can't wait to read about the romance of the other family members.

Which character as performed by Pete Ohms was your favorite?

I didn't really have any particular favorites. I was expecting Pete Ohms to be an awful reader, because of some of the reviews I read, but I can honestly say, I thought he did a good job.

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

Actually I did.

Any additional comments?

Brenda, I love love love your romance stories. Keep up the good work.

A Good Read!

Release date: 03-04-13

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 475 votes

Publisher's Summary:

The last thing event planner Tara Lincoln needs is the jet-set lifestyle of a football pro like Mick Riley, even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand proved that Mick is an all-star - both on the field and in the bedroom.

Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn't intend to put herself out there again, especially with a certified heartbreaker. But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind to catch this sultry vixen.

Critic Reviews:

"In the hands of the talented Burton, the characters leap off the page and the romance sparkles as the sex sizzles." (Romantic Times)

Members Reviews:

I had higher expectations.

This was an okay listen, but I had higher expectations given the reviews of the book itself. I don't know why but the female main character bothered me a lot. I understand the psychology of her actions and behaviors but it was almost more than I could handle. I will not be purchasing any more of this series.

Would you like a little story with that sex!

Sex. Sex. A pretty ok story. Sex. And did I say sex? But hey, why not?

TOUCHDOWN!!!

What did you love best about The Perfect Play?

Everything!!! I'm a girl who loves football, a great story and a hot, sizzling romance. This has it all.

Any additional comments?

You won't be disappointed. It's well worth your credit or purchase price. Caution explict sexual content.

THE PERFECT PLAY

I've had this book in my library FOREVER, and I may have purchased it solely for that smoking hot cover! Great cover or not, the story was really good. Single successful business woman and mom, meets a hot stud muffin of a football star and, oh yeah, he's ready for love, has a great family, loves her child and is great in bed.... I couldn't ask for much more.

Relatively basic story line, but epic hot sex that makes your blood boil! Jaci Burton is definitely a five star writer in the hotness category, even with the narrator, who, to me, was just ok. I'm all in for the remainder of the books if they're half as good as this on. Highly recommended for erotic romance lovers!

Just what I needed

I really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the characters and the relationship between all the characters. Tara's love and protective relationship regarding her son was realistic to me. The chemistry and sex between Tara and Mick were heart warming. I would re-read this book and recommend it to others.

Critic Reviews:

"With its humor and endearing characters, Forces' charming novel will appeal to a broad spectrum of [fans]." (

Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Pretty good.

The story was pretty good and I thought the narrator did a good job. My only issue is that the voice used for Ryan didn't really match the guy on the cover. He sounded a little dorky. Sorry.

Infuriating Female

Although this was a good book, I was so annoyed with the Female lead. If there was an award for easily manipulated, she would win it. Everyone butted into her marriage and she let them. She listened and talked to everyone but her husband. Can you say TSTL!

Decent

I am new to books by Marie Force I got this one on a whim. The content was good, the narration was lacking. The voice of Ryan, in my opinion was terrible. He was a football celebrity, hunky, smart, and good looking a (jock), the voice made him sound like a jerk. His character was much more than what the narrator gave him. He did some of the other characters fairly well, that is what saved the book. Ryan was all wrong.

The story held its own, otherwise the narration would have been hard to deal with. The story made you want to know how it would end up therefore, you will get through the weird voice of Ryan. This was a nicely develop romance with a few twist and turns to make it interesting. It was a nice listen. Of course it was not a book that you simply could not figure it out, but it was a nice calm listen. A little sex, humor, and drama.

Ummm Horrible Narration

I think I might have actually like the story if the ultra thick country accent of the hubby wasn't so bad. Texans don't talk like that!

Great Book. Couldn't get through it on Audio

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

Not the audible, but yes to the book. I feel that the narrator over-exagerated the hero's twang and it came out more comical than anything else.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ryan, the hero. He's level-headed and knows exactly what he wants.

How could the performance have been better?

Maybe a different narrator. Not sure.

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

Made me laugh a few times.

Any additional comments?

I loved the book itself, but I had to read it on my Kindle because the narration of the hero's voice was going to ruin it for me. Not only am I not a big fan of the southern accent, but I think the narrator overdid it.

The book itself was funny, light, romantic and steamy. The characters are all in their 30's and act like it so it isn't YA (which I hate for romance) or NA (which is a hit or miss).

Members Reviews:

My favorite Karen White, (so far)

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

Definitely, this was a sequel to Falling Home which was also quite good. This was even better. I liked the character development, the love story, re-visiting my friends from Falling Home, the deep friendships, and character growth and development. I also fell in love with the small town and folks who made up it.

Karen White does not spend page after page on the love scenes, just enough to be interesting but not so much that you loose the story, Don't get me wrong I am a fan of Shades of Grey but many romance novels can repeat themselves so much that I want to fast forward to get back to the story.

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Van Dykes other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great job on narration

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

The audio was hard to put down. I listened to it in my car and then did chores in the house so I could keep listening, taking it from room to room with me.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to 3 Karen White books so far and am ready to order another.

Happy Endings

I was happy to discover this sequel to Falling Home. I loved the characters in both stories & enjoyed finding out what happened to them after the first story. I'm also a sucker for happy endings. I have not read a Karen White book that wasn't awesome!

Always love Karen White's books

Once again Karen White delivered a good story, based in a clearly described Southern setting with characters that came to life.

Enjoyed returning toWalton, GA

Would you try another book from Karen White and/or Meredith Orlow?

Not as good as other Karen White books. Very predictable. I did enjoy returning to Walton, Georgia to continue with the characters.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Predictable

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

OK performance

Loved it.

I love reading every one of her books. Strong characters that come to life during the book. Love audiobooks

In book 1 of this steamy new contemporary Western romance series by two blockbuster authors, a cowboy and a woman on the run take a stand and fight for love.

Carlin Reed lives in fear, off the grid, moving from place to place. So Battle Ridge, Wyoming, a small town in the middle of nowhere, seems like a good place to lie low for a while. But after becoming cook and housekeeper to cattle rancher Zeke Decker, Carlin suspects that shes made her first mistake. Rugged, sexy, and too distracting for his own good, Zeke is pure temptation mixed with something deep and primal that makes Carlin feel almost safe. Soon things are getting way too hot in the kitchen.

Zeke doesnt challenge Carlins terms: cash, dead bolts, and no questions. It is easy to see that shes a woman in trouble. Problem is, hes so blindsided by his attraction to her he cant think straight. Zeke tries to stay all business, no complications - but that game plan is sabotaged the second Carlin gets under his skin. And when her terrifying past follows her to the ranch, Carlin faces a heartbreaking choice: run away from the man she loves, or put him in the crosshairs of a madman.

ON the RUN~ 5 STAR all the way HOWARD /Jones Gem~~

on the run Carlin finds safety and romance with Zeke the hot rancher~

Carlin is clearly a woman who knows how to "hide" ~ she carries all she needs to make an escape in her coat and moves into a Podunk Wyoming town~ sliding under the radar job as waitress for cash, she ends up houskeeper for sexy rancher Zeke Decker. Brad the ex cop stalker uses the internet to keep track and find the elusive Carlin. Locked doors and weapons in every room has Carlin feel slightly more secure in the remote ranch. Zeke soon has his "fantasy" life take the human form of lovely Carllin and we have some humorous looks into his mind as his NO touch policy is "revised." LOL This one is one of the BETTER Howard books in recent years along with Howard /Jones Combo author this is a very good romantic suspense romance. There is a hero and heroine by play we love and the humor and sparks are first rate. Plot is well done and flows along. I give this one 5 STAR FOR PLOT, 5 STAR FOR PERFORMANCE AND 5 STAR FOR fun couple who heat up the winter in the Wyoming snow. Keep them coming Linda Howard and Linda Jones much better than Blood Born.

Disappointment.

Would you try another book from Linda Howard and Linda Jones and/or Maggie Wheeler?

I would read another book by these authors but I would not listen to another book read by this narrator.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I felt the book had too much mundane filler. It would have been a great 6 hour book. It reminded me of the more basic romance novels, but again the narrator ruined what was good about the book.

How could the performance have been better?

This narrator has a rather monotonous voice that grates on ones nerves.

Do you think Running Wild needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Let me say Linda Howard is in the top three of my favorite authors. I will likely read anything that bears her name. I listened to 'Blood Born' and loved it.

Entertaining!

I found "Running Wild" entertaining.

Members Reviews:

Nauti, Nauti, Nauti but oh so nice, nice, nice too

This is actually book 8 in LL's Nauti series but I don't know if that had any adverse effects on my listening pleasure as this is the first book in a spin-off new series.

It is just what you've come to expect from one of her books - a hot and heavy steamy romance that's all part of an interesting plot - undercover secret agent for Homeland Security really really tries to keep his hands off Eve but she's just too tempting. It's got a tense storyline and some great characters - including Brogan (main man) who is definitely your dominant yet brooding alpha type with a chip on his shoulder from the past.

Worth a credit? Ms Leigh puts the R in eRotic and if you know this and aren't put off, or already like her books, then it's clearly a YES.

Nauti Hot...Lora Leigh Style

I love all Lora Leigh books, she keeps the book's story line interesting, with a lot of hot sex ..for me Lora Leigh is an automatic download and keeper,

Love me some Lora Leigh men......

Great/fun listen; steamy love scenes; laughing banter; and HOT men!!!

Avoid!

I'm a fan of the dominant, alpha male lead, but this guy went so far beyond the acceptable line it was creepy and disturbing. He was cruelly manipulative, truly condescending to his "love" and some of the sex was, at best, coerced, and, at worst, assault. Yuck!

I normally like Lora Leigh

I'm sad to write this review because I normally like Lora Leigh's writing. This book, however, was neither a good, nor in any way believable story. I can't recommend it as a romance. The too macho, dominant (in bad ways) and over-protective men who keep lying, controlling (in bad ways) and manipulating the women in the book are infuriating. There's some decent sex, despite it happening at times and in ways that are, at best, improbable (a recently former virgin being ok with anal and spanking after having sex only once previously).

Members Reviews:

Good read.

Laughed. Wish there was another book in the series to read. All Janet Chapman books need to be audible.

book 2 in series. A good listen

Would you listen to Charmed by His Love again? Why?

i have listened to the book several times as it is a good book. The characters are well developed and it is a good story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Peg is good but so independent that she nearly passes up a good thing in Duncan. Duncan is probably my favorite. He had his challenges too.

Have you listened to any of Allyson Ryans other performances before? How does this one compare?

just one other performance. Ms Ryan does well with these books and I have no compliant.

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

Oh yes, you will not listen or read a Janet Chapman book without a strong reaction. She manages to keep you right there when you pick up one of her books. There is mystery, love, sorrow and humor in ever book that she has written.

Any additional comments?

I love Janet Chapman's books, especially the first series of the Highlanders of Pine Creek. Sad that series nor the rest of this series is in audio. She writes a very good book that is hard to put down until finished.

I Love This Author!

I hope I have more from this author soon! Great story and just as I suspected.

Critic Reviews:

"An entertaining read and a good choice for readers who like cooing over cute animals as well as a cute romance." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable contemporary romance...

A light contemporary romance that is quite hot. I enjoyed the book although maybe my expectations were too high because I was expecting something like the Lucky Harbor series. It is not as good as that series but still very funny, cute and sexy. It's a good beach listen.

Narrator: I have to give it to Karen White. She quaked, barked and meowed like the real animals... And many times. She is a good narrator but many times I felt like she was too slow. This book should have lasted at least one hour less that it did. I actually speed up

The narration to 1.25 at times because it dragged.

Great story - didn't want to turn it off

Would you listen to Animal Magnetism again? Why?

Yes, I'd listen again. Brady and Lyla were well drawn characters and the story was fun, perfect for a little bit of comfort listening. The best stories give you a lift, taking you into a realistic fantasy and this one was exactly what I wanted. I fly a lot, being gone from home and missing my husband and family. Having this family of characters to keep me company made the time go by easier. The chemistry between Brady and Lyla was enough of a spark that I didn't want to turn the story off or made me wish it was time to turn it back on. I'll def listen again and will also listen to the stories of Del and Adam.

The vocalist was also great - her intonation for men was especially good. Some readers try to drop an octave, even when it doesn't sound right. This artist did a great job and I'll look for other readings she's done.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked both Brady and Lyla, they were multidimensional, by turns fun, tense, goofy, loving and lusty. I prefer alpha male characters and Brady was that, most def.

Have you listened to any of Karen Whites other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this is the first performance but I'll seek out her other work.

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

You'll never know when you'll crash into love.

This story grew on me...

In the beginning of this book there were several laugh out loud moments. Then it became predictable. It is a good story but lightweight. I had trouble with the narrator. She was very professional. I can only say that her voice pattern annoyed me. I did adjust to it. But not until the second half. The story just grew on me. The characters became important. It is not a deep book. But it is enjoyable and I believe worth the credit. I think I will purchase the remaining in the series.

Animal Magnetism

Would you listen to Animal Magnetism again? Why?

I would listen to Animal Magnetism again simply because the narrator did such an outstanding job with the characters. I was most impressed with the animal sounds, they were realistic and really cute!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lilah was my favorite character.
