Narrator: Kate Rudd

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 07-03-12

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone thinks A.J. Sutherland is crazy to buy a rogue stallion that no rider or trainer has been able to tame. But if anybody has the hustle to make something out of that hell-raiser, its her. She cant do it alone, however, and goes after the great Devlin McCloud, an equestrian legend with a bad leg - and a worse attitude.

Devlin recognizes a fighter when he sees one - and that horse isnt a wallflower, either. Before he knows it, hes got a wild stallion in his empty stable and a hot-headed, heavenly-bodied rider sleeping on his couch. But can he get all three of them through the championship in one piece?

This passion hes found with his rider is compromising training - and at this level of competition, any distraction is not just unprofessional, but downright deadly

Fans of Nora Roberts...will savor every well-written page. (Booklist)

Truly awesome. (Huntress Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Light easy listen equestrian based romance

Firstly, let me say I'm a huge JRW fan, anything that gets written by her is an automatic download for me - especially after Black Dagger Brotherhood and Fallen Angels Series however, be warned this is nothing like them and that this 'new release' is deceiving in that it was actually her FIRST published book.

This is a 'turn your brain off and just listen' type book, it's an enjoyable lighthearted sweet romance about A.J. the daughter of a rich stable owner who buys a thoroughbred horse named Sabbath in the hope of training him for Show Jumping and takes on more than she bargains for. Devlin's, a mentally and physically tormented ex Show Jumping Champion who becomes involved and is forced to help her and their attraction is immediate. Their relationship is developed and established early on in the book so you are left with a lot of equestrian dialogue merging with a few white lies and bad decisions made by them that has disasterous effects on their relationship.

Worth a credit? No, I was expecting more from the writer of the BDB (not realising it was her first) but if you like the sound of the above then spend your $ rather than a credit 'cause it's cheap enough.

Good solid entertainment

I've always enjoyed J.R. Ward's Brotherhood series, and took a chance on this book. Excellent! It was an enjoyable listen, well thought out and spot on about her horses! I was impressed by her story telling and development of the characters. Well done!!

Surprise, I liked it!

I bought this book more than 6 months ago, glad I finally listened to it! I am not a horse person, it's fair to say I am ANTI horse...and had I known at the time that is what this book was about it wouldn't have made it into my cart, even for the $5 I got it for, which is a shame because I would have missed out!

This is the first book JR Ward ever wrote, there is an awesome foreword on here from her too, which makes the book really special! This book is about a spoiled rich girl who is somehow salt of the earth.

I admit it......I love romance and especially those books written by Maureen Child. What could be better than a billionaire, a beautiful woman, and a baby? Ok, maybe it doesn't describe most marriages, but we can imagine and feel hope that true love does exists in this life. Steamy romances like this one just make you feel good!

Publisher's Summary:

Cattleman Bran Turner is left shorthanded during busy calving season when a bull tramples his hired hand. Rural Wyoming isn't exactly a hotbed of qualified candidates, and the only applicant for the position is the pampered town beauty, Harper Masterson. The curvy cowgirl gets under Bran's skin at every turn, but with no other options, he reluctantly hires her.

When sexual sparks ignite, down-on-her-luck Harper convinces Bran that not only is she capable of pulling calves, feeding livestock, and handling backbreaking ranch chores, but she doesn't mind getting down and dirty, either. Harper also discovers the hot-bodied cowboy isn't all work and no horseplay... and he's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Brian will learn quickly that Harper is no country mouse - and that she might just have what it takes to stick around for the long haul.

Critic Reviews:

"James once again writes her trademark hot alpha hero and strong, feisty heroine in the second fast-paced and sexy Blacktop Cowboys novel." (Romantic Times)

Members Reviews:

Wow, Excellent give me more!

Where does Saddled and Spurred rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I'm just half way through, I had to stop because I don't want this audio to end too soon. I don't know how they go about picking a narrator ,but Scarlet Chase is great. She does male and female voices excellent. Great job.

ANOTHER JUICY RAUNCHY RANCH ROMANCE

Great second instalment of the rugged, tough, sexy cowboys that we've all come to love (and hate at times). However, this could easily be a stand alone listen as I am sure they all could be.

If you've already listened and enjoyed book 1 or listened and enjoyed any of LJ's other books then do yourselves a favour and stop reading this review and just download this now 'coz times a wasting!.

However, if you haven't then within the hours of listening to this story you will find yourselves transported to a slice of life in a small town that's filled with interesting characters and hot cowboys and ranch-hands that are very needy demanding and sexy whose personalities always clash, but ultimately bend, when faced with the one woman that they just can't tame.

Worth a credit? Well, this was a fun, sad, frustrating, passionate, romantic HOT HOT HOT listen which I own up to thoroughly enjoy delving into occasionally - so that would be a yummy YES YES YES from me.

Showboat

Where does Saddled and Spurred rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I love this series. I love Lorelei James style of present day story. Us ladies that ride horses and love the western setting can't get enough of the series. Please keep them coming!!

What other book might you compare Saddled and Spurred to and why?

Vicki Lewis Thompson Son's of Chance series. Love this one too!!

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

I get very caught up in this series. Yes and Yes!!

Any additional comments?

Please give us more of Lorelei James western series... Rough Riders and Wild West Boys

A little plot to go with your steamy sex?

I'm sure that in a few months when I've forgotten the plot or characters, I'm going to remember the sizzle and steam of this book.

Publisher's Summary:

A little bit wild and undeniably brave, the gentlemen of the Bastion Club have pursued adventures far and wide. But their exploits at home could prove to be the riskiest of all as they hunt an elusive target: the perfect bride.

In a moment of recklessness, Gervase Tregarth, sixth Earl of Crowhurst, swears hell marry the next eligible lady to cross his path. Cloistered at his ancestral castle in Cornwall, with nary a suitable woman for miles, he never expects hell have to fulfill his pledge, at least not until the London season begins. But then he meets his neighbor, the very appealing Madeline Gascoigne.

Years of secret service to the Crown have taught Gervase the value of always having a loophole - there will be no wedding if he and Madeline are not compatible in every way. So he sets out to prove that they would make a most dreadful match by luring her into his arms and, ultimately, his bed. From their very first kiss, Gervase discovers that the headstrong and independent Madeline is no meek country miss - and that the fire between them will burn long beyond that first seduction.

Members Reviews:

Great story...Horrible Narrator

This was one of my favorite Bastion Club stories, it has more interaction with DL and their past as spies.

I waited years for an audio version and I can't believe the publishers settled on this narrator for the last of the Bastion Club stories. He can't act so he just gives a very boring reading of a great story. The female voices are screeches that are almost too painful to listen to.

My advice to male narrators, their is nothing you can do to sound like a woman, just soften your voice for the female roles. Trying to raise your voice just makes for a bad comedy and is painful on the ears.

What a waste.

Great addition to the Bastion Club series

What a great addition to the tales of the Bastion Club members! Gervais will absolutely tear your heart out with his patience, determination, and understanding.

Why switch narrators?

I love the Bastion Club series -- perhaps my favourite of Stephanie Laurens' novels! I highly recommend the books! But why the switch in narrators? After listening to Jill Tanner through the first 6 audiobooks, I had gotten used to her narration, so the switch to Steven Crossley is jarring! I do not mind the switch from female to male voice in general, but it is hard to differentiate Crossley's 'voice' for different characters. It's sometimes a little confusing when the 'voice' switches between hero and heroine. Also, Crossley pronounces some of the names differently than Tanner did. So while I highly recommend Laurens' novels, it's difficult to recommend this particular audiobook based on the narrator. Sorry to see that the remaining books are also done by Crossley.

Members Reviews:

A rewarding experience

This book was hugely popular when it was first released and I can see why. It's a moving story told in a dry, witty prose. The dialogue is very well done and often quite funny. It's a sad yet ultimately very hopeful and redemptive story. I thought this reading by the author was pitch-perfect. His reading captures the dry tone, the humour, and the understated pathos of the story.

I'm in Love All Over Again

My mom was in high school or she had just graduated from high school when this book and AWESOME adaptations were barely made to the screenplay. I have been waiting for years to hear the story. I read it, I saw the movie and now... I'm in Love with never having to say you're sorry....that's what it means.

A Lyrical Tale Of Love...

Beautifully written, this story of star crossed lovers is a Valentine's Day classic! Read it with someone you love!

This is a fast listen.

Would you try another book from Erich Segal and/or Erich Segal?

I might read/listen to another book by Erich Sagel. It depends upon who recorded it.

Has Love Story turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I'd read another story from this genre.

What didnt you like about Erich Segals performance?

I didn't like his performance because he just seemed to read the text. There was no emotion where there needed to be, especially at the end.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Love Story?

I wouldn't have cut any of the scenes as much as have embellished upon some. He really could have expounded upon the main characters love for one another and how they spoke to one another was fun, not matter-of-fact like.

beautiful and tragic

a fantastic book. the narration is good and the story beautiful and so profoundly tragic

Title: Mackenzie's Magic

Author: Linda Howard

Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-11

Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 432 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Just in time for the holidays: author Linda Howard's beloved Mackenzies. Meet Maris Mackenzie - and the sexy stranger she woke up to find in her bed! Unfortunately, she had no memory of Alex MacNeil, the previous day or the prize thoroughbred she'd apparently stolen.

Members Reviews:

CUTE!

Cute and easy listening. It would be a good book to listen to while commuting--not too distracting. Likable characters, especially the little girl that appears near the end of the book. Linda Howard describes her so well it's as if you can literally see her.... and her little antics makes you smile.

Well narrated by Dennis Boutsikaris .

Short Book

It was great to revisit the Mackenzies again. The book was short and I felt it could have been more developed. I enjoyed the book probably because I love the Mackenzies. I really would like the author to put Chance's book on tape. I have read both books before and enjoyed hearing them read. It was good Dennis Boutsikaris read this one as he did Mackenzie's Pleasure so it was the same voice.

It was good to have all the family in the book but only at the end. Others may not enjoy the book as much unless they know the history of this family. It would have been nice to have had some updates as to where the family was at this point.

I did not use a credit for this book because the cost was much cheaper than a credit cost. I can't complain it was money well spent. If you are looking for a quick listen - fun, short and a no-brainer this is the book for you.

Not what I expected...

I bought this audiobook because I had read all the other books in this series and liked them. This story didn't measure up to the other stories, it was just okay. The story centers around the only MacKenzie daughter Maris and the man she falls for. Narration was well performed.

More of Mackenzie.

Cute little story, romance was way fast, but to be expected in a short story. Defiantly could have made this into a full size story with some mystery added. Although Dennis Boutsikaris did a good job reading the book, he sounds older and maybe accountant type. Not the manly man, portrayed in the story, and it was mostly from a womans point of view. There is a lot of revisiting of the Mackenzie family at the end.

Mackenzies Magic

This book is outstanding and equal to all the other Mackenzie book's. Linda Howard has out done herself with this Mackenzie series. The only thing wrong with this book is it isn't long enough.

Unprepared for the feelings Whip unleashes within her, Shannon is torn between her fear of this rugged stranger and a burning desire to be with him.

Richard Ferrones seductive narration will have listeners enthralled by Lowells passion-filled prose.

Members Reviews:

Fourth in Series

This is the fourth story in the 'Only' series. In order there are 'Only His', 'Only Mine', 'Only You' and 'Only Love'. In my opinion 'Only His' is the best of the four stories, but a close second would be 'Only You'. 'Only Mine' has a very odd start to it which left me very unsympathetic with the heroine, but I did warm to it by the end. 'Only Love' is probably the weakest of the four stories, but I still found Elizabeth Lowell's description of the scenery enthralling and the settings of these four stories were really a large part of the appeal. Richard Ferrone has a wonderfully warm and soothing voice which was perfect for the male characters, and he did as well as any man could (with such a deep voice) for the ladies!

My Thoughts

Loved the book, the taming of Whip Moran was delicious!!! And the way they joined their lives with that of the previous characters was very enriching...Im only sorry I cant join them for other adventures

Only love.

I liked the unusual setting & Shannon's character. I found Whip to be a whimp. And if he told her one more time that he did not want to be tied down from his wanderlust I would have screamed. Someone said this was the best of the love series but I do not feel that way.

Horrible narrator

The story was good it was just horrible the sounds of saliva noises. Hard to listen

One of the worst

The author appears to have a really warped view of life. Don't waste your money on this one.

There are all the usual ways, of course, but heres how Janine Hartman and Meg Remington did it.

Janine: My grandfather Hartman arranged a husband for me! Zach Thomas, the intended groom, was just as outraged as I was. But gramps insisted wed be a perfect match. First Comes Marriage, according to him.

Meg: My teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on my behalf Wanted: Perfect Partner. Worse, Steve Conlan, who answered the ad, was perfect, according to her.

Does Grandfather know best? Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? You decide!

Members Reviews:

Can't finish it

This is not one of Debbie Macomber's better books. The female character is weak and unlikeable. And the voice for the grandfather was incredibly annoying.

Silly but entertaining

Not believable in the least. At times immature but the over all story will have you smiling and laughing. Two separate stories but enjoyable.

Typical Good Macomber

I like her stories, so I like this series. There are a few stories that are slow, but this is not one of them.

Addicting Sexy Hot

I started listening to this book with out any expectations. I was hooked! As a gay man I could relate to the story in more ways than one. It quickly became my favorite. The narrator does such a good job. His voice is so SEXY! :-) I recommend it. Listen to if for your self...

Another Masterpiece

I bought this book when it was first released and actually got to meet Mr. Harris at a book signing event. The characters in Basketball Jones come alive through E Lynn's brilliant writing abilities. Mirron Willis also does an admirable job of giving the characters, actions and scenes in the book life. A definite must read for all.

E Lynn Harris you will be forever missed.

Not a Basketball Story

Apparently I was not paying any attention when I got this audiobook. I thought it would be about professional athletes. No. It is about being gay in professional athletics. The main character was not even the pro basketball player. Basically it was sad book in that folks still cannot live as they are in our society. That is, in most all of pro leagues, you still cannot be openly gay. So, in that way, it was sad. However, the main character came to grips with his situation but everyone did not live happily ever after. I learned how it might be to be is such a situation in which you are an outcast and must live a secret life. So, it was interesting. Also interesting was the betrayal. I do not want to give too much away but if you can handle some gay sexual encounters, I recommend the book. I never lost interest and was pretty entertained wondering who was behind the blackmail.

Great Read!

This is a wonderful and enlightening read! Could seem to put it down!

once again a great listen.

very immersive book. E. Lynn Harris also had great character development. I always wished that the staging was a little more. all in all great!

Great story about marriage and its ups and downs.

Loved the honest look at marriage. After reading Seasons of Marriage I was looking forward to these stories.

sweet

This was a very sweet book about how changes in life can affect our marriages. I enjoyed listening to it, and learned some valuable lessons about God's forgiveness in real world situations.
