Publisher's Summary:

Dumped by her boyfriend and demoted from WBBB's prime-time spot, radio producer Allie McGuffey has nowhere to go but up. She plans to make her comeback by turning temporary DJ Charlie Tenniel into a household name. And if he's willing to help cure her breakup blues with a rebound fling, that's an added bonus.

Charlie just wants to kick back, play good tunes and eat Chinese food. He's not interested in becoming famous. But he is interested in Allie. And after all, what harm is a little chemistry between friends?

But suddenly, their one-night stand has become a four-week addiction. Night after night on the airwaves, his voice seduces her...and all the other women in town. He's a hit. It looks as if Charlie's solved all Allie's problems...except one. What is she going to do when he leaves?

Critic Reviews:

"Jennifer Crusie "has a wicked sense of humor, keen insights into the complexities of modern relationships, and a way of making her characters seem genuine and her stories real." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Typical early Crusie

Story is good, but the narration is boring. It is just a rather bland reading of the book. All of the characters sound much the same.

One-Note Narration

This story isn't as engaging and exciting as most of Jennifer Crusies novels that I've read. However, the narration is what really ruined this for me. The narrator seemed bored, and, as a result, bored me. The characters aren't given distinct voices, and there just isn't much life breathed into them.

As for the story, the B plot seemed to be somewhat of an afterthought. Not the well-thought-out, funny "mystery" I'm used to from her books.

Jennifer did it again.

Good story hard to get into at first. Don't know what it was but never had this problem with Jennifers books before. Good story good listen was fun listen. Made great travel time. Just slow start.

Jennifer Crusie at her best!

Would you listen to Charlie All Night again? Why?

I have listened to this book more than once already. It makes me laugh out loud at times. I thoroughly enjoy the internal and external dialogue. Jennifer Crusie has a way of making her characters so real, easy to relate to.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the radio station, how everyone one - except for a few notable exception ( and even then they came around eventually) - worked together. How Allie was the driving force behind that place and didn't want or need the credit. And the puppy...I am a sucker for the puppy.

What does Aimee Jolson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Aimee Jolson did a very good job. I love it when I can easily determine who is speaking based upon the narrators ability to give each character their own voice. There is a lot of dialogue in this book and it can be fast paced at times and Aimee preformed very well. I can't really say that I wouldn't have enjoyed this book as much if I had read it for myself but I do know now that if I do read it for myself then I will be hearing the characters as Aimee narrated them.

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

Not particularly. It wasn't really gripping, and I wasn't thinking about it while I was trying to do something else.

Members Reviews:

Patience and Love was a beautiful story

This mother was wise but caring and compassionate. I enjoyed the story and found the daughter Cassie in the next book, "Getting some of her own" I love the auther and wish Audible would get more books from Gwynne Forster. I recommend When twilight comes to anyone. Gread Read...

Enlightening!

I really loved the story line because it exposed the truth of sibling rivalry when it comes to money! I especially like "Marge" because with love she did not cater to her childrens selfishness and yet without malice she rewarded the deserving one. Also, I admired how she accepted death with grace and dignity. She reminds me alot of myself with my relationship with my children........ I never sugarcoat anything! As for the narrator, I can listen to anything Caroline Clay reads........... she is my favorite!

When Twilight Comes

By Arlena (Broken Arrow, OK, United States)

I found When Twilight Comes to be warm, loving , patience and most kind. From the mother, three children and friends all made this story simply wonderful. I would highly recommed this audible to all and I am sure you will love it too. I believe Gwynne Forster did a wonderful job with this story.

©1991 Jo Beverley; (P)2003 Recorded Books

Critic Reviews:

"Arguably today's most skillful writer of intelligent historical romance"...(Publishers Weekly).

Members Reviews:

It was okay

At first Eleanor was about as annoying as they come. She whined about everything and went from elated to suicidal over a look from Nicholas.

I considered bailing on the story, but stuck it out. It WAS a bit of a complicated plot for not really any reason, but isn't that true of many books? I think perhaps it was partially related to the time period the book was set in, when it seems to me many things that were fussed over were trivial.

I finished it yesterday and noticed myself missing them today. Jill Tanner did a great job of narrating.

Definitely not my favorite audio book!

I became so annoyed with the whole story that I was unable to finish it by Part 3. It was a very strange and complicated plot for no reason at all. I could not relate to any of the characters, especially the main ones: Eleanor and Nicholas. The way they reacted to situations was often ridiculous. In addition, sometimes the book was confusing and I would have to re-listen to sections before moving forward. It was too tiresome! Not worth it.

Not your typical romance!

Vikkis Musings

I have been a huge fan of Jo Beverleys for many years. Recently as you are aware, I have gotten into audio books. While I read An Arranged Marriage quite a few years ago, I decided I want to revisit the Company of Rogues series and what better way to start than with the first one. I vaguely remembered the characters, but none of the details of the plot. Im so glad I listened to this astonishing book!

Ms. Beverley has taken quite a few liberties that as a newbie writer, Ive been told are big no-nos. Firstly, the heroine is raped in the opening scene, but Ms. Beverley handles this so well that she immediately captured my attention and held it throughout the book. It is a horrendous scene and the rapist is doing it under extreme duress. He is actually the heros brother, a man in fear of his very life if the truth ever came out that he preferred men. As you can see, very compelling and riveting!

Secondly, the hero commits adultery, another issue that is frowned upon. Again, Ms. Beverley makes it such an essential part of the story that she has my heart aching for Nicholas and what he has to endure at the hands of the very evil French courtesan, who is suspected of trying to put Bonaparte back in power. Not only does he have to commit adultery, he falls desperately in love with Eleanor, the woman he felt obligated to marry to get his brother out of his troubles. Again, a horrid circumstance that moved me to tears on several occasions.

This is not a story for the faint of heart. Its messy and emotionally- charged throughout the entire book. Poor Eleanors situation is truly heart-wrenching from the first page until the very end. At times, I even wondered if this couple would have a happy ending, but a las it is romance and dear Eleanor and Nicholas do have their happily ever after, one that is well deserved.

Title: Shameless

Author: Tori Carrington

Narrator: Savannah Richards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-08

Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 94 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

One-night-only anonymous sex with a stranger? Seems too wanton, even for Nina Leonard. Until it's insinuated that the mystery man might be one of her business partners - two guys she adores who also happen to be complete hotties.

Out comes the blindfold, and Nina has the steamiest night of her life. Now she's got to have more - only, no one's fessing up.

One of her two best friends rocked her world that night. But which one was it?

If she guesses wrong, she could lose them both.

Members Reviews:

Definitely shameless...

What would have made Shameless better?

A story well developed... This was just a trashy story that felt more like an adult magazine story...

What was most disappointing about Tori Carringtons story?

This was just trashy sex that the author tried to convert into a romance novel but it did not work.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending. Which was just ok. The three friends reunited... And no threesome was involved.

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

The scene where the female protagonist had sex with the other friend and was caught by the one that loved her.

Any additional comments?

I bought this book on sale and it was not even worth the 2.77 I paid for it. The only reason I listened to it completely is that the narrator was very good.

High "Ick" Factor

This book proves that some things are not meant to be shared. Not so much "hot" as just plain "yuck!"

Not what I expected

SPOILER ALERT: Ok. The sex was hot but there was an element in this title that one is simply not used to in erotic romance, and I simply couldn't get past it. Now, I'm no prude but once the H/h find each other-they stick ONLY with each other. That part really bothered me.

Loved it

I loved this one so much I listened to it twice back to back. I'll keep this one on my iPod to listen to again!

Members Reviews:

Good sequel

This book is the sequel to "Inferno: Raintree" written by Linda Howard. Plot development and execution in this book was significantly improved from the first book in the series.

Linda Winstead Jones is a long time writer for serial-type books (i.e. Harlequin) and she does it well. The author is slighly disadvantaged that she is writing the second in a series but she didn't create the plot nor did she write the first book in the series. That being said, she did a nice job progessing the plot as well as developing the characters. The heroine was likable and had characteristics of an average person - nothing that was remotely unusual in her actions.

The female reader did a very good job and brought the character to life. My compliant with the male reader was that it was the same from the first book in the series but it was a different character! If you haven't listened to the first book, you wouldn't notice or care. However, most people who purchase this audiobook will have listened to "Raintree" first and noticed this. Not a terrible thing but not a great thing for an audiobook. Us listeners tend to notice things like this and it struck me as odd that the production staff would do this.

I would definately recommend this book and the author. The female reader wasn't familiar to me but I would listen to her again.

2nd of 3

This is the second book of a trilogy written by 3 different authors. The first book, written by my favorite author Linda Howard was dissapointing but this book more than made up for it.

This book has fully developed characters, a great beginning and middle and a wonder cliff-hanger. I can't wait for the third book to come out next month. I also am looking forward to reading more of this author's work.

What you'd expect from a Harlequin

Well, as long as you know what you're getting before you purchase this, it's not that bad. It's published by Harlequin which basically sums up the story.

There is some supernatural in it, and some detective stuff, (sort of)... but essentially it's a Harlequin Romance novel: man and woman meet, fall in love within 3 days, lots of sex, lots of "how can we make this work with my magic powers/job/history/interference from ghosts...", a little bit of story.

The narration isn't bad. For some reason, though, rather than have the male reader read male parts and the female reader read female parts, they just alternate back and forth (no real pattern to why) so sometimes the female is reading male and vice versa... you do get used to it, but it seems strange.

For a fantasy/scifi or a detective story it's worth 2.5 stars, for a Harlequin it's worth 4.

Best of Three

By far the best of the Raintree trio. The characters are likeable and the story is clever.

Members Reviews:

Love it, love it

Love it, love it, love it. This is a new author for me & now she's one of my favorites. Excellent story & characters. Excellent in all aspects. A+++++

Five Stars

Love Tilly`s books.

Showdown

This is a story that will give satisfaction especially if one is enthusiastic about horses, racing, etc. it is quite panoramic in that if takes place in both the U.K. and the U.S. I found it interesting but enjoyed the fast pace too. I like that Tilly deals fairly realistically with wealth, entitlement, sheer greed and the often unhappy results.

If you like horses and racing and are looking for an engrossing and romantic page turner, look no further.

Nice read

I enjoyed the book was fun to read. Clearly the horse world full of its own politic a world I know nothing about

Never disappointed

I love all of her books. Once you get into it I couldn't put it down.So much drama. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story that takes you on a roller coaster of emotions

"If there is one thing you can depend on, it is the humor, passion, and excitement of a Jayne Ann Krentz novel." (Romantic Times)

Members Reviews:

It is what it is

This is a pleasant little story and the reader is unobtrusive, but some of the bedroom language just made me roll my eyes and do a mental edit to something less laughable. Perhaps the style of the passionate dialog is simply dated; thankfully, the rest of the story holds up. The hero is calm and sedate, but he's not a boring pushover; his inner strength is profound and he doesn't require outward displays to validate himself. The heroine is a wounded dove, but the hero doesnt try to fix her. Instead, he exercises patience and restraint until shes ready to conquer the self-delusions formed in her past. This isnt great literature, but its an amusing diversion, and a nice way to cleanse the palette from heavy doses of modern bad boy alpha males.

Between The Lines

I liked this book because the plot started from the beginning and things moved quickly. I liked the relationship the 2 characters have - they respect one another, etc. The story was funny, yet had just enough romance (and a little suspense). For a quick read - Between The Lines delivers.

between the lines

although it was not the very best book ever read, i did enjoy it alot

Title: Love at First Sight

Subtitle: A Cupid, Texas Novel, Book 1

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-13

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 84 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In the first in a dazzling new series, Lori Wilde welcomes us to Cupid, Texas, where every wish for love comes true....

"When it hits, you just know..."

Natalie McCleary couldn't believe her eyes - a lean-muscled, darkly tanned, nearly naked man stood in her path...and then it hit her: love. Everyone always told her it would hit like a thunderbolt, and she never believed them. But now she knew: practical, sensible Natalie was head over heels in love - with a stranger.

But ex-Navy SEAL Dade Vega wasn't about to be a stranger for long. He'd ridden into Cupid on his motorcycle, vowing to keep a promise he'd made to a military buddy. But a single glimpse of Natalie - soaking wet and unexpectedly tempting - changed his life forever.

But how can he offer her his love, when he can't even promise to stay in one place for longer than a week?

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable romance, but not memorable.

This is a fairly enjoyable and non-taxing story following Natalie, a woman who has given up on the notion of ever falling in love, and emotionally damaged ex-Navy SEAL Dade. There is a little suspense in this story - Dade is trying to find his missing foster brother 'Red' who has gone missing from Natalie's bed and breakfast in the quaint town of Cupid. It was pretty easy to spot the bad guys very early on, and the story concentrates mainly on the emotions between the two main characters (while also introducing other characters who we will likely hear more of later!).

The narrator is ..interesting. I initially was reluctant to download this book because the sample has C J Critt sounding like Captain Kirk from the old tv series in her delivery of lines. Her delivery smooths out the further we go in the book (or maybe I just got used to it?) and by the end I was rather enjoying her narration. Worth a credit? I'm on the fence with this one. While I'll likely seek out the next in the series when it is available, there are other writers who would take priority for my precious credit!

struggled to finish,

the head talk dragged the story, would have been better a just a story short.

Cute but immature

Cute story for a young adult. The description of "love at first sight" is straight out of a Disney fairy tale. But it's cute. Not necessarily a "page turner".

Pretty good

This book was sweet I just wish there was a little more romance in the story.

Breathtaking

This was wonderfully narrated. Great storyline to boast love at first sight. My favorite part was watching them find what you already could see.
