Publisher's Summary:

The attraction was instant...and impossible.

Critic Reviews:

"There's no mystery why Roberts is a best-selling author. She delivers the goods with panache and wit." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

the story and the narrator

This is the second in a quartet of books, each of which I enjoyed enough to re-read them. I've bought both of the available books as they've come out, and I'm not sorry, but the narration is terrible. Marie Caliendo has a sweet little girl voice, and the only characther it does justice to is a southern belle type in The Last Honest Woman. The characters in these books are survivors, but they end up sounding like ten-year-olds. That goes for male and female, young and old. I can't say don't buy this, the story is worth hearing. I just don't know how I would have felt if this were my introduction to the stories instead of a review.

Easy Reading

Predictable and light weight but makes an enjoyable summer read.

The books good, but

The reader made Maddie sound like such and air headed child. Other than that, it was a good book. I purchased the whole 4 book set and this was the only one she annoyed me in.

I realized that Maddie was supposed to be 'bubbly' but YIKES!!! It was grating.

Great Romance

I like this wonderful romance. The characters are fun and interesting. I like Nora Roberts books and wondered if these being some of her earlier work, if it was going to be as good. Yes, it is.

enjoyable

i thought in all the Ohurley novels all the men sounded whimpy almost...Trace was the best in Without a Trace. They played macho men roles but they were just UGH.

Loved the voice and inflection for Maddie. Chantelle sounds like her nose is a mile in the air and Abby sounds like she will spook at the drop of a hat.

overall, good stories and worth the bulk price!

Members Reviews:

Good Read

Nora Roberts is always a good read, and The Last Honest Woman doesn't disappoint. However, I did come away feeling that the ending was a bit rushed.

Oh, please!

I'm sorry. There are many, many Nora Roberts books that I think are great, but these four were so HOKEY! Does anyone else think that the same author who wrote Montana Sky, or The Villa (just to name two) could have also written these? Hard to believe!

Nora Does it Again!

I could not put this one down. Very good story.

A great book!!

This book has an excellent plot line and engaging characters. It's a sweet romance with family centered values and a happy ending.

Great family Dynamics

What I enjoy most about these books is that it is a series and each one of the stories lets you know more about the family. The O'Hurleys are a strong family with the normal problems of getting along and living up to expectations. I especially enjoy the Irish dialect of the narrator. The women in this series are all strong , moral and proud. Great read

Title: Out of Control

Subtitle: Troubleshooters, Book 4

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-13-14

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 145 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann knows how to push the limits of romantic suspense to new, breathtaking heights. Potent, gripping, and explosive, Out of Control is a roller-coaster ride of a novel - as a single act of loyalty becomes a desperate struggle for survival.

Savannah von Hopf has no choice. To save her uncle's life, she goes in search of Ken "WildCard" Karmody, a guy she barely knew in college who is now a military operative. She must convince him to help her deliver a cache of ransom money into the hands of terrorists halfway around the world. What she doesn't expect is to end up in WildCard's arms before she can even ask for his help.

WildCard has always had a soft spot for beautiful women. But when he discovers Savannah's hidden agenda, he is determined to end the affair. Still, Savannah is bound for Indonesia with or without his protection, and he can't just walk away. When her plan goes horribly wrong, they are trapped in the forsaken jungle of a hostile country, stalked by a lethal enemy. As time is running out, they scramble to escape, risking their lives to stop a nightmare from spinning even further out of control.

Members Reviews:

Re-recorded triple romance extraordinaire

Take one of the best action-romance authors and pair herin this re-recording with Lawlor and Ewbanks on vocals and you have nothing short of an extraordinary gift.

This is one of the best of the troubleshooters series by Brockmann. Even with the previous poor recording from a few years back, I had listened to it several times. The story, the action and the unique parallel stories running thru the large story arc of the SEAL team 16 are captivating. While we are engaged with the contemporary action romance of Chief Ken Carmody and American aristocrat Savannah Van Hopf, we are drawn into the tale of Savannah's grandmother's--who we will see in several subsequent books--heroism and her own WWII love story. And if that wasn't enough to keep you totally glued, is the story of Dave Jones (grady morant) and the irrepressible and inspirational 40-something missionary Molly. Their own story will come up again in a later book in the troubleshooters series and it will never leave you.

This book gets Five stars for story, romance, action--heck it has it all, and the5-star vocal performance really turns this into a knockout.

Consider this book a great investment--you'll enjoy it the second and third time around. and fourth....

So Many Characters to Love

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

Absolutely, after reading the first three of the series to get established in this world that Suzanne Brockmann has very effectively constructed.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Out of Control?

Jones going after Molly all alone, in the plane

Which scene was your favorite?

There's not one in particular that stands out, but all the times that Wildcard basically tells Savannah to be quiet and follow his lead, and she immediately ignores his instructions. I laughed every time.

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

Pretty much all of Brockmann's books are.

Any additional comments?

Molly and Jones' story is really compelling, and I'll admit that on completion of this book I assumed that they wouldn't be seen again.

Title: Delicious

Author: Susan Mallery

Narrator: Therese Plummer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-31-07

Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 747 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance; she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on, and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil.

The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Dessert Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth, but then, maybe two are enough to make it irresistible.

Critic Reviews:

"When you think of passion, drama and heartwarming stories, think Susan Mallery." (Romantic Times)

"A wonderful cast of characters, from the truly evil family matriarch to the argumentative, stubborn, but close-knit Buchanan siblings. Glimpses into the everyday workings of a restaurant, from buying produce to selecting wines, add to the enjoyment." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

DELICIOUS

I loved this book, her writing is very similar to Susan Elizabeth Phillips which I love. I downloaded the other 3 books in the series and looking foward to a good listen. I wish they would add more downloads from this author, I made the request. I hope to find more funny, romantic books.

cute, sweet

The is my first Susan Mallory book and I liked it. I read the reviews and learned this is the first book in a series of 4 so I plan to listen to them in order. The characters are good and I look forward to hearing about how the lives of the other brothers and sister turn out. Gloria is a human nightmare and I hope at some point she softens. This is a typical romance book but who doesn't like happy endings!

Delicious food... So so story...

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

I would recommend it although this is not a fantastic book. Susan Mallery stories, specially if narrated by Therese Plummer are like eating a delicious chocolate. You always enjoy it even if it's not good for you.

Would you be willing to try another book from Susan Mallery? Why or why not?

Yes, I would except the Fools Gold series which has a terrible narrator.

Which character as performed by Therese Plummer was your favorite?

Therese Plummer is the best narrator ever. My favorite character on this book was Penny. She was broken hearted from her divorced but she bounced back stronger, whiling to be a single working mom. She was excellent in her job and not a wimp. She stood up to the evil witch of a grandmother Cal has.

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

Cooking up a storm...

Any additional comments?

The story is based around a divorced couple who rediscovers each other while trying to save a failing restaurant in Seattle. I've listened to all the books in this series. This one was my least favorite of all but you should listen to it to get the background info that will make you enjoy the other books more.

Entertaining

This is an entertaininng listen. Nothing deep or exciting. Just ok. Terese Plummer's narration added to the book.

Delectable Series

This is the first of the 3 (4th due out soon) Buchanan Series. It is fun, sexy, intriguing and informative (I had no idea what went on before receiving my delectable meals at fine dining establishments), entertaining and warming. I love all three (so far) of these gems but be certain to read them in order.

Publisher's Summary:

Alexandra is pissed about her parents abandoning her. She's beyond pissed that her friends did the same. She's enraged because things are unclear about her brother's death now. So her first stop is at Jesse's house to demand answers. She wants to know why her brother was friends with the criminal crowd before he died, and she knows he holds the answers. But when she sees him, she doesn't get the answers she expected. Instead, she finds out that their chemistry never faded and soon heats up again!

Some habits die hard. Soon Jesse and Alex are back to their ways of sneaking around. He's a near-celebrity at school and she doesn't want to deal with the backlash of being his girlfriend. Alex is tired of being hurt so she's learned the lesson not to confide and lean on others. However, she can't seem to help herself when it comes to Jesse Hunt. The big question isn't if she will survive if their relationship goes public, it's if she will survive when the real truths about her family and brother come out? Or when she learns that Jesse knows more than what he's told her?

Contains mature themes.

Members Reviews:

Great continuation to great story

Great continuation to a great story it is gut renching and emotional roller coaster at times but really good read both books in 24 hours loved it

LOVE IT

Would you listen to Broken and Screwed, Book 2 again? Why?

Yes, I have listed to it several times and I so wish we could see a third book to this series.

What does Jillian Macie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Again, a stellar performance and again pulled me in right away!

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

Yes, I actually did listen to this in one sitting on a very rainy Sunday!

Any additional comments?

I NEED ONE MORE TIJAN!!!

its finished... :-(

Loved the story, would love a #3.. pretty please. The storyline kept me hooked from start of book 1 till end of book 2. finished them in 2.5 days... i work long hours driving and couldn't 'put it down'

Loved

Any additional comments?

The second and final instalment sees Alex joining Jesse at College. They start up their relationship, on the QT of course. So, new school, new friends, new enemies, but pretty much the same story. Alex's parents are still despicable, Jesse on the other hand is adorable and really comes through for Alex. I did get a little frustrated at times with her stubbornness. I also got very emotional in parts. Towards the end, when all the secrets came out, and there are a lot of secrets, everything fits into place and true love finally takes it's course. Wonderfully written, as usual. Highly recommend.

Critic Reviews:

"This is by far the best book I have read from this talented author." (The Book Whisperer)

Members Reviews:

Bad narration

The narration was absolutely awful! One of the worst I've heard. I'm not sure where the surfer accents came from but they were a fail. The story was good although unrealistic to the extreme.

Whiny main character - no real tension

This appears to be the first of two novels. Elect and it follow-on Elite. I have listened only to Elite. Based upon the first novel, I can already predict the best thing that could have been done was to write one novel by crushing them together and then edit aggressively. I blame this on the publisher. The conflict escalates so slowly that you almost miss it. As filler, the author has to throw in much whiny dialog. She introduces a sub character at the beginning leading you to believe that she will play a big role and then she vanishes except for the last five minute entry.

The narrator, Franco adds to the whiny tone.

I really have not much to say positive about this novel. With a few lines of editing, it would be better as a YA instead of romance of which there is not. I'd give it a read if you into YA but as a serious romance novel -- thumbs down.

Painful listen...not in a good way.

Although the story was pretty good, the narrator was awful. I only finished because I couldn't return it. The narrator made Tracey sound like a stupid, pathetic, whiny brat. Nixon was just weird and not at all sexy or mysterious the way the author intended for him to be. Chase sounded like an arrogant surfer dude. The characters we're hard to like and identify with because the narration was just so bad. I honestly hope this narrator did not get paid for this performance. I will probably check out the second book in the series, but definitely will not to go with the audible book.

TSTL Heroine!

Too stupid to live, heroine! She's such a pansy.

Rachel has some great books but this isn't one of them.

Meh

If you could sum up Elite in three words, what would they be?

I love this story. I had read the books previously so I knew I loved them. The audio did NOT work for me.

What other book might you compare Elite to and why?

Anything mafia, modern day Romeo and Juliet type story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sarah Francos performances?

No. I thought she did a TERRIBLE job with the male voices.

Title: Simply Irresistible

Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-24-11

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 413 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The proof is irrefutable: Jill Shalvis is a USA Today best-selling author whose romantic fiction is one part steam, one part soul-lifting laughter. After leaving an abusive relationship, Maddie Moore heads to Lucky Harbor, Washington, and vows to channel her inner tough girland land the man of her dreams.

Critic Reviews:

Heartwarming and sexy an abundance of chemistry, smoldering romance, and hilarious sisterly antics. (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Almost too perfect...

Would you try another book from Jill Shalvis and/or Celeste Ciulla?

I would try another book by the same author and/or the same narrator. This was a nice book. Simply Irresistible is book one of the Lucky Harbor trilogy. This is the story of Maddie. She has lost Her job and broke up with her abusive boyfriend and goes to Lucky Harbor to work on the Inn her mother left her and her sisters as inheritance. Maddie goes throug a personal journey that is quite interesting and seeing the relationship with her sisters get better is really nice.

I don't think I'll get book two because it is narrated by the same person and the voice she gave Tara is way too old for the character. Tara sounds like a 45 yo smoker. So I'll skip that one and get book three (Chloe's story). It has a different narrator but sounds great.

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

The ending was the best part of the book. It gave me the happy ending I love and you get to understand the characters so much more.

Did Celeste Ciulla do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Celeste Ciulla did a very good job differentiating the characters and she did an amazing job with the different male voices. The only thing I did not like was Tara's voice.

Do you think Simply Irresistible needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The trilogy in order:

Simply Irresistible

The sweetest thing

Head over heels

It would be nice if the subsequent books revisited Maddie and Jax story.

Any additional comments?

I love romance books and I enjoyed this story but it was almost too perfect. Jax is the type of man that I cannot even imagine ever existing. He was just that perfect. I like fairytales as much as the next girl but come on, the author over did it a bit. Jax is gorgeous, has a law degree, has lots and lots of money and his values and integrity are so high he stops being a lawyer (I think the author has a very low opinion of lawyers), leaves everything and goes to Lucky Harbor to become a handyman (just for fun cause he's rich). Too good to be true? Well that's not all, he goes around saving people of Lucky Harbor from financial ruin and lends them money to save their business or house. He falls madly in love with Maddie and wants to make sure she is not sleeping with him just for the physical part but for love. He even refuses to have sex with Maddie at one point because he feels she is

Good story but narration almost spoils it.

Not a fan of the narration. I've listened to a few books with narrators that I didn't enjoy but this is the first time that it impacted by enjoyment of the story. I kept trying to imagine the words not spoken by the narrator. Probably a much better book to read.

Oh, Dear!

This book has an unimaginably thin plot.

Interesante historia, algo monótona.

En lo personal no me atrapó, le falta pasión y emoción. No me gustó el final, muy típico. En ocasiones el libro es redundante.

Members Reviews:

Another Sweet Love for the Alexanders

Great love story - especially for readers who like contemporary romances with the family included. I'm solidly sold on this series. Each book gets hotter, the world larger and the characters become family. Even as we get a sexy little love story, the author introduces other characters to be featured in future books.

Great Story

This story was a little slow to start. However, it picked up. It was very suspenseful, and it had a very loving tone. I didn't like, however, the way the main character always put herself down about her weight. The author constantly talking about it took away from the character. It made her seem weak insecure. Of all the brothers, I liked Elliot the best. He seemed to really care about people. I would like to read more about the feud between the families more. I also would like to read the story of their cousin Grant and Tank.

oh how much we love the Alexander's

Love it , can't wait for the next audio in the series. 1-4 where epic stories of love that wins time after time.

Members Reviews:

10 stars!!!!!

I was soooo worried this book would have the second book blues, I just loved the first one so much I prepared for the disappointment...luckily I didn't have to be disappointed because this one was better than the first!

We pick up where book 1 left off..Liz has walked out on Brady...she doesn't want to make him choose between the campaign and her so she chose for him. Now she is trying desperately to get on with her life, shouldn't be too hard, people break up all the time right? Well that is what she tells herself anyway! As she tries desperately to go on living a normal life she thinks of Brady every day, but she made her choice and now she has to live with it and TRY to build another life, a Brady free life...a new man....a new direction. But how do you build a life when your foundation is gone?

I am LOVING this series!!! I was a bit dissapointed that we didn't even see Brady for like 3 hours but he got there eventually...and then was gone again...at that point I was with Liz, I was longing to see Brady too!!! When a book can grab you like this and has you rooting for the characters and hoping for them then you know you are into a good book!

Have a mentioned I love this series? I am going to be so sad when this is over, but the ride has been so worth it!

Great 2nd installment!

Would you consider the audio edition of On the Record to be better than the print version?

Yes, definitely!

Who was your favorite character and why?

In this book, Brady! Love hearing the dialogue in his head.

Which character as performed by Natalie Ross was your favorite?

Liz

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

Love is political.

Any additional comments?

I typical don't read a series unless at least 3 books are already released. Not a fan of cliff hangers, but am thankful I don't have to wait a year for the next one.

I am so mad I could not stop listening

This is a book you hate but can not put down. How come? First time it had ever happened to me. Seems like a freaking soap opera. You hate the heroine, feel sorry for her, love her all at once.

She is now deep in it w/Hayden, and he is sweet but at the same time stupid, brilliant, competent and too good for his own good (could man up a bit to be less annoying).

The congressman is strong, hard but totally clear w/ what he wants and hot. Totally different from the undecided Liz. He acts on his feelings and wins Liz back when part of the truth is written by Callie and Hayden. A total mess, soap opera mess but you just get caught...

Well hell, just go for it.
