Great Finale to the Series!

I loved how this wrapped up the 3 previous books in the series, though I'm sad to see it end. Maybe we will see the FBI agent again. He needs a good woman. I also totally approve of the narrator change. Sarah Grant performs the book well and uses the right inflection. This was a professional production without repeated sentences, swallowing and mouth noises. It was nice to be able to enjoy the story without a lot of distractions.

Great introduction

The McShannons are at it again. Although the father is in jail he is still trying to protect his family. his wife still loves him and still remembers the man she married. the sons have to come to terms with this reality. I was given this book via audiobook boom for an unbiased review. Glad things worked out in the end. Still had some parts that made you suspend reality. Just like in the first book. But this is fiction so what can you expect.

Best story bwwm w action & drama of McShannan clan

I wish there was more about these Boston bad boys.. There is alot of action & drama in this one.. Yes there is a graphic sex scene but, the christmas scene will bring a smile to anyone's face.. I LOVE the oldest brother refer to the children as "our son's"... Bravo Veronica Maxim with this story.. I got nervous during a couple of scenes.. This is worth a credit/money?? Yes.. I hope there are more.. (hint hint) This story was too short..

Not the end..NOOOOO!! Love the McShannons.

What aspect of Sarah Grants performance would you have changed?

It wasn't that Sarah Grant didn't do a good job she just didn't bring anything extra to the story. She did read it well but I think the narration itself fell a little flat. I needed more but still Sarah gets 3 out of 5 stars so not bad at all.

Any additional comments?

I was given this book in return for my unbiased honest opinion. I wasn't a huge fan of the narration but the story was great as usual. I mean Veronica does a great job in bringing us into the lives of these brothers in such a short period of time I am just still shocked how much storyline you get. I feel like this was an ending but it really doesn't need to end. I want to hear about the babies to come and I want more danger and more hot sex scenes. I am very satisfied with the story line though and know that if she never writes another McShannon story that this one gave me a true ending!!

Five Stars Finale!

Any additional comments?

What a great finale to The McShannon Series.

Publisher's Summary:

Holly James is trying to move on with her life, but it's not easy. She can't stand to be touched by anyone, not even her own family. She is a lost broken shell of the person that she used to be. She realizes that shutting everyone out is much easier then opening up and letting someone hurt her.

Drew Walker is no prince charming. He doesn't care about anyone but himself and has no intention of changing. He loves the life of excitement and entitlement that comes with being the lead singer of a band, and has no plans to get tied down anytime soon.

When these two meet there is an immediate chemistry. The thing that surprises Holly is that she can tolerate his touch. He makes her feel like herself once again and gives her the freedom and comfort she has been desperate to find. On the other hand he is self-centered, egotistical, and everything that she should stay away from.

What happens when the one person who can save you might also be the person who can break you?

"There was something about Drew, but I had no idea what it was. He was self-centered, cocky, and definitely not prince charming. Maybe that's why I liked him though. Maybe I didn't want to be saved by the handsome prince. Maybe I wanted to be corrupted by the evil king."

I felt like something was missing

This was a great story line, but it was rushed through. I felt like she forgot to fill in her outline.

She had to learn the hard way that rich men are ruthless; play in their world at your own risk. Sometimes, when your back's against the wall, being a good girl is a luxury.

Members Reviews:

Entangled Dreams

Enjoyed the story especially since it took place in Florida. Usually just read mysteries, but enjoyed the romance/suspense. Was sad about Akexandra Nicole' s background and her piss poor life after her mom passed. Her Dad must have been a spineless man to let his second wife be so cruel and neglectful of his daughter, who looked like his first wife. Those two should have been prosecuted. That poor girl got mixed up with that slime Jonathon, since she didn't have any love or decent homelife. Was disappointed that it never said anything about that scum of an attorney mother who bought off her son. End did not have a great ending, at least she had a son and Cameron was happy to have a son.

Still room for fairytales

âA modern-day fairytaleâ, the Author calls it. Alexandra aka Nicole is the would-be princess looking for a happily-ever-after. Thereâs a wicked stepmother (sort of), and the prince rides a motorbike. But none of the characters are either totally black or white â all are a mixture, which makes them human.

A book to be read for a few hours of escapism. It's good to know there's still room for fairytales in this world.

Okayyyyy

Entangled Dreams had a decent plot and angle, however I had issues with the repetitive and immature emotional meanderings. So much so that I skimmed 40% of the book just to get to the next event. The Author is talented, but for my taste needs to tone down the frantic, neurotic emotional processing that is WAY over done.

Absolutely Awesome!

Alexandra needs a well earned break. Jonathan, her live-in boyfriend, is a weasel. And then Cameron walks into her life. Cameron is a peach! Perfect in every way, he is just what Alexandra needs. Actually, he's just what every woman needs. It's a rough road. Can they make it? Jonathan needs to leave them alone. Some really intense moments. Well written, good characters. This one is a winner. Loved it.

Cinderella up to date ... sorta

She busts her butt to fend for herself, step-mother dislikes her & father isn't there due to drinking. Her drug dealing "boyfriend" doesn't help matters.

One night, after terrible news, she meets her "prince charming" but will her stubborn pride & lack of self-esteem destroy it all? Sorry, you have to read to find out.

Great story, love the characters ... she pulls you in with each word used to create this world.

Publisher's Summary:

Emerson Sinclair, 27-year-old hotel heiress, has said yes. With just over a year to plan her extravagant, over-the-top nuptials to Logan Worthington, it's all hands on deck with the wedding plans. A Sinclair marrying into the Worthington family is the talk of their small New Hampshire town, and ideas include filming the wedding for a TV segment. But as the items get checked off the list, plans start to go not as planned. From not getting a designer dress to a selfish bridesmaid and unaccountable best man, Emerson is afraid her wedding will be more a joke than anything.

When both her mother and sister seemingly begin to lose interest in her wedding plans in favor of their own personal lives, Emerson fears her big day will turn into the forgotten wedding. With the pressure to pull off a beautiful and elegant event that everyone expects from their respectable families, Emerson starts to forget the reason why she is saying "I do" in the first place.

Members Reviews:

Clueless, anyone?

I read this book to the end, but I'm really not sure why. The main character had all the cluelessness and self-absorption of Cher from the movie Clueless, without any of the redeeming qualities that made Cher so loveable. I just couldn't connect with her, let alone root for her.

A delightful read!

This sweet, romantic story was pure escapism for me and I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved living vicariously through this impossibly rich family and reading about the wedding event of the decade. Samantha March is a natural story teller, and Emerson and her family as well as her swoon worthy fiance, Logan, came to life in her vivid scenes. As much as I loved the grandeur (for the same reason I was addicted to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous when I was younger and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills these days!), what I loved most about this story was the beautiful message about marriage rather than a wedding day. The ending was my favourite part with a gorgeous twist. This was a perfect light read, that made me smile and hey, who doesn't love a wedding when it's not just the bride being a bridezilla, it's a whole family-of-the-bride-zillas instead? And this is hands down the most BEAUTIFUL book cover I have ever seen, featuring the real life wedding photo of the author - it doesn't get more romantic than that. I'm looking forward to reading more from the talented Samantha March.

Love this book

Love this story about planning an outrageous wedding in the wealthy world. Many of the things that Emerson goes through is normal for planning an extravagant wedding but her and her husband are high society. They are going to be filmed and have to have things up to high expectations. The planning along with her job is making her crazy. The bridesmaids help her at points but then at points make her go crazy. Logan's brother Jacob is also a challenge at points. Their families are wonderful and Gram is a hoot. Loved her. Loved all the fun and reality of this book. Especially loved the ending.

Wedding chick lit...

Loved this story! This is my first Samantha March book, but certainly not my last! I loved reading about the ups and downs of planning the wedding! This was definitely a fun read about the very wealthy planning for their big day!

Five Stars

Great read!! Loved it!

From the author of the popular Coach's Boys series, Kristy K. James, comes a romantic suspense story to keep you on the edge of your seat!

He's hiding out because someone wants him dead.

Cameron Rafferty is keeping secrets. Dangerous secrets that could endanger the lives of everyone around him. His plan was simple...keep a low profile until the would-be killer was found. And it was working - until an accident changed everything. Before he knows it, he finds himself becoming more involved with the family next door, and wishing for things he shouldn't. Things that will put their lives in jeopardy, too.

Her summer plans didn't include secrets and danger....

Spending summers on Bois Blanc Island was a tradition for author Laura Keane and her young son. Filled with special memories of the husband she'd lost to war, she looked forward to days of reminiscing, playing, and working on her newest novel. She didn't expect this year to be any different - but that was before their sexy neighbor came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor. Will that armor be tarnished when she finds out what he is and why he's living next door?

Members Reviews:

Great book loved it

Would you listen to Laying Low in Paradise again? Why?

Yes I would, I loved this book. I loved that it kept my attention and kept me guessing even made me hold my breath a few times

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think I loved Sam the most because he took it as a challenge to get Brendan out of his room, let Cameron know he had his bat if needed and was so funny, but the Nolan when he was dealing with the three guys at the end of the book was hilarious

Which character as performed by Katie Welburn was your favorite?

Definitely Sam you could just hear his sarcasm

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

Yes and and I did except for a few breaks

Any additional comments?

I loved the book when I read it but this audio version added so much more, I cried, held my breath and laughed the book was really brought to life

Got better about halfway through

I almost stopped listening about halfway through, but I'm glad I kept going - it was very good by the end. Initially the neighbor characters were not behaving like men typically would in their situation, just not believable. The reason was eventually was revealed, but almost too late. The narrator was very good with a broad range of engaging emotions, but was occasionally more cheerful than warranted in the moment. Nonetheless I look forward to the next installment. It's nice to find a clean book to listen to for a change.

With a will that reads like a piece of fiction, the return of his long-lost brother, and the possibility of losing the family ranch, Micah Cooper calls on high school friend, Sky Baxter, to bail him out of a bad situation.

Though her brain tells her no, Sky's heart says yes. She accepts Micah's in-name-only proposal, knowing it's unlikely anything permanent will come of it. She's been in love with him since the ninth grade, and if he hasn't figured it out by now, there's little chance he ever will.

Couldn't get through the narrator

She says everything in explanations or a questioning voice. I couldn't listen to it. I'll have to get it in paperback.

Captivating With Twists and Surprises!

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

Yes, I would definitely recommend this to a friend because it is a captivating read with some surprising twists.

What other book might you compare The Rose Ring to and why?

Probably Exchanged At Birth, because Micah's (thought to be) brother Noah's mother wasn't disclosed until towards the end.

What does Ann M. Thompson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Convenience - You can work while you hear the story read to you.

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

Sky's Unconditional, Unfaltering Love

Interesting and original

This story had so many twists and turns that my head was spinning. I really enjoyed that this story kept moving and there were so many secrets around the bend, but the big mystery kept a mild angst going until the end. Such a great story by Alisa Mullen. I loved the characters of snowboarder Rory and science-nerd Keely. They complimented each other in every way and were very relatable characters.

First listen for Aria Abienta and she was perfect fit for the younger characters. She did a wonderful job distinguishing characters and I would definitely listen to her again.

Loved this story

Where to begin. This was quite an emotional roller coaster. It's starts out as a cute high school first love story. Kelinda and Rory, two total opposites but seem so right for each other. They find each other in the most unusual way and continuo their loving relationship until one day a letter changes everything. Their hopes and dreams destroyed they live their separate life's miles apart from each other. When an unexpected turn of events brings them back together only to complicate things more then anyone could have ever imagined. Will they get a second chance at happiness together? Will they be able to overcome the immense obstacles in their path? What an incredible story of two people so meant for each other but pulled apart by the people they loved. I could not put it down. A definite recommend.

Worth The Credit!!

Any additional comments?

The synopsis tells you everything you need to know except that you should really read this book. It's worth the credit.

Really well written, engaging and enjoyable story. Could not stop listening.

A wonderful roller-coaster ride of emotions from innocence, love and happiness to betrayal, deceit, heartbreak, hate back to hope, love and happiness.

Talk about a life altering Betrayal. What a manipulative bitch of a mother. While it's not a completely original concept for a book, there are several elements that do make it an original plot line.

Taliesin Wick knows exactly what she wants to do with her life. Even when her house-flipping father puts their home in Austin on the market and moves the family to Pennsylvania, it's nothing but a minor wrench in the cogs of her dreams.

Then she meets Nate Thorne.

From the moment she first spied Nate playing guitar on his front porch, Tali was drawn to him. The sorrow in his songs, the deep sadness in his beautiful eyes...she can feel Fate pulling her to him.

Something haunts him. He never talks about the sins of his past, but she knows he doesn't trust himself, especially not with her heart. Tali can't imagine the sweet, loving boy she's come to know being the awful monster he thinks he is, but what if he's right? What if learning his secrets changes the way she feels about him?

Tali doesn't know if their whirlwind of bliss is just a summer fling, or something much more, but she does know falling in love with Nate is going to leave the kind of mark you can never erase.

Members Reviews:

Great Contemporary Love Story With Some Drama

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The characters were well developed and their personality very engaging.

The story is told in Tali's POV. She is a confident teen that just graduated from High School and is on her way to Pennsylvania from Texas. She has everything planned out until she sees Nate. The boy with the sad songs & hurt eyes.

They get together quickly & fall for each other fast but Nate is hunted by his past. Can he overcome his past and move on with Tali?

The story doesn't end with any cliffhangers. It is a HEA ending. A little drama & some serious subjects are dealt with towards the end. Nates secret is pretty heavy... But Tali is mature and helps him.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life!

**This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion**

Loved the characters

Which scene was your favorite?

The epilogue was my favorite, I wish I had more of a look into their future but it was cute seeing where they were and what their plans for life were going to be.

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

I loved how mature Tali was and how she handled her life and Nate's secret.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The book is based on two young adults, one who had just graduated highschool and the other a year older. I really enjoyed the characters especially Tali and how mature she was about handling situations, usually characters her age annoy me at times. I loved that both Nate and Tali were nerdy with their video games and shared the same interests but they also had lives outside of the games.

Boys Don't Cry

Any additional comments?

Enjoyable YA romance with a HEA

I consider it YA because the characters 18 to 20 years old.

You never know how your actions or words will really affect someone.

Hind sight is 20/20 as they say.

Nate is dealing emotionally with the consequences of actions he regrets. While he has changed from the person he was, he has mostly withdrawn from everyone. Until Tali moves in across the street.

While they have issues in their relationship, I really liked how mature Tali was.
