Publisher's Summary:

Chemistry was never this sexy in high school.

In her sizzling new series, USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby sets the stage for a passionate reunion under the breathtaking Montana sky.

Cara Donovan's summer tutoring job is turning out to be a challenge - and not just because of her troubled 12-year-old student. It's his uncle Josh who's the real problem. If problem is the word for an irresistibly cocky, muscle-bound rancher with a taste for tight Levi's and shameless flirtation.

Cara is nothing like the wallflower Josh King remembers good-naturedly teasing in high school. This Cara is gorgeous, confident, fun. From the moment the fiery teacher steps foot on his family's Lazy K Ranch, the stubborn playboy is determined to corral her. So what happens when his luscious lover takes over the reins?

The first in a steamy trilogy, Kristen Proby's enthralling novel is filled to the brim with one hardworking family's triumphs and challenges, all the wild adventure of the modern West, and a whole lot of titillating fun.

The Montana guys are my current favorites

Listen to Cara, Lauren, and for the Holidays Grace (Baby it's cold outside, starts at chapter 16) over and over! I can't wait for January 27th for Jillian's story. I was sad to find out there will only be three books in the series but excited that Kristen Proby going South for her new adventure. Until then I'll be " satisfied" with the North Western folks. I didn't think Kristen Proby could ever top the Seattle stories but then she melted quite a bit of snow in Montana. I'll have to see if she can bring the spices of New Orleans to the pages of her next region.

WOW Supper Hot Josh & Horses ! Oh Yes Yes Yes :)

Any additional comments?

Loving Cara is the first book in author Kristen Probys newest series, Under the Big Sky and talk about one hell of a debut. I loved everything about the book from start to finish.

Cara Donovan and Josh King have known each other for years. They went to high school together and still live in the same small town but despite the geography, they really dont see much of each other. That all changes when Cara gets a job tutoring Joshs nephew over the summer. Seths mother drops him off at the Kings family ranch and leaves without so much as a backward glance. Zach, Joshs brother and Seths father, is in the Army and overseas for at least another month which means Seth was now Josh and his parents responsibility. No problem, right? Wrong. Seth needs a whole lot of love and attention to bring him out of the anger hes settled into. He also needs whole lot of help in the schooling department which is where Cara comes in and ends up as Seths tutor. Luckily Cara is up for the challenge. Of course that means Cara and Josh will be spending a whole lot of time together and soon the attraction they both feel is too much to deny. Josh cant believe his high school friend has grown into such a beautiful and smart woman and Cara is in awe of the handsome, sexy, and caring Josh. Sparks will fly and lust will ignite all while helping a young man learn to trust and love again. Will they all get their happy ending?

Man, I devoured this book. In less than a day.

The follow-up to the runaway best sellers On Dublin Street and Down London Road

Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex - usually, she can't get up the nerve to approach guys she's interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it's time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.

Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he's as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.

The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate's past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left brokenhearted. When Nate realizes he's made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before to entice his best friend into falling back in love with him - or he may lose her forever

Members Reviews:

The story of Olivia and Nate.Loved it!!

I absolutely loved it 5 stars. Actually, I love love love this whole freaking series. Each book always has fun banter, one HOTcouple, and the same terrific group of great friends that capture your heart. Samantha Young had me emotionally invested in both Olivia and Nate. They are, by far my favorite couple in this series. I loved how their relationship developed and the transition between friends to lovers doesn't feel rushed or contrived.Nate and Olivia were downright perfect together and the ride although predictable was nonetheless enjoyable! I thought the whole story was very well executed. The chemistry between them is sizzling right from the very start, and I was just waiting for all of that hotness to explode. And explode it does! It may be for educational purposes (pfft), but there is a lot of sexy time in this book, and in true Samantha Young style, its absolutely steaming! Wow, these two are hot together, and every time they are together, you can feel the emotion and intimacy between them. The way they are together, and the way they react to each other shows us so much, and I loved every minute of it!If you are looking forsweet turn angst with plenty of sexy time, best friends to loverstype, I would strongly recommend this. The writing in this book was beautiful and the scenes were so well written. I can't even begin to describe how much I loved this book. So many wonderful lines and emotional scenes that tear into your heart.Samantha Young is definitely a winner with this series!

Keep getting better!!!

At times, after the first book or two, a series of books just turns stale. This is not the case for SY's Dublin Street gang. Every book has been very good. In fact this is one of my favorites. It's so HOT and emotional. Yes, it certainly pushed all of my happy buttons!!! Narration is also great. This is the kind of listen I love spending my credits on.

The best romance book I have listened to

I have been listening to several romance books a month over the last several years. This is my favorite romance book yet! It was such a great listening experience -- almost like watching a movie. The narrator was excellent -- really brought out the powerful emotion in the story.

Members Reviews:

Light but entertaining romances.

Three books in one - a good bargain by my thinking. Older but good books from Julie Garwood featuring the Claybornes. Diverse, fun characters and Garwood's humorous telling of their stories promise to keep you entertained.

3 Short stories

Each story seemed to start slow but by the time the ending came I was well into the story. I was glad they were short stories and as usual with Julie Garwood the stories were well written and entertaining.

Outstanding!

The narration made me feel as if I knew the personalities of each character. Love!

enjoyable set of short stories

These three short stories are fun, really need to listen to the first book in the series before listening to these. Otherwise you miss many of the details and don't understand the story line. I did miss the development of the characters that was present in the first one. But worth the listen and a good continuation of the series.

My ears are bleeding. Couldn't finish it.

After two hours, I had to turn it off. The voices of the brothers sound like they are all highly effeminate and unrealistic. It is just not the Julie I am accustomed to having started with her Highland series'. Too long, not the best choice for narration and I couldn't get through it. Just painful.

Members Reviews:

this book was better that the first in this series

This book developed the characters and had better dialog than the first. I almost didn't read it because the first was so awful. Now I can't wait to start book three.

good read

Enjoyed the story but not the endings. Going to loom for next book where the story hopefully continues.

Unlikely pairing

I've been looking forward to Lucas' story and his HEA. But Sid? Really? Lucas is urbane and sophisticated. Sid is so purposefully inappropriate, the only thing missing is the tobacco spitting. And that's the thing. SIDS behavior is PURPOSEFULLY inappropriate. She could be kinder, less crude, etc and still fix boats. She just chooses not to. So no, I don't believe this pairing at all.

Nice follow-up

Nice follow up. Enjoyed Sid finally getting her man. Nice to see Lucas come to his senses. The ending for me was a bit abrupt for me though. He comes to his senses then its done. I mean the scene on the pier was nice, but there could have been a bit more

Sweet romance

I love to read a good romance novel. Yes, it's predictable, but I don't care. It's sweet. It's the second in the series. Once I finished the first one, I knew I had to continue the story of these people's lives. Will definitely read the next two.

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward explores what really happens when good and evil toy with humanity in her new novel of the Fallen Angels, as the salvation of a doomed soul depends once again on a crossroads....

When Cait Douglass resolves to get over her broken heart, throw off her inhibitions, and start really living, she's unprepared for the two sensual men who cross her path. Torn between them, she doesn't know which to choose - or what kind of dire consequences could follow.

Jim Heron, fallen angel and reluctant savior, is ahead in the war, but he puts everything at risk when he seeks to make a deal with the devil - literally. As yet another soul is unwittingly caught in the battle between him and the demon Devina, his fixation on an innocent trapped in Hell threatens to sidetrack him from his sacred duty....

Can good still prevail if true love makes a savior weak? And will a woman's future be the key, or the curse, for all of humanity? Only time, and hearts, will tell.

Members Reviews:

Definitely a Game Changer

This installment of the Fallen Angels series is definitely a game-changer. Jims decision to save Sissy has impacted his ability to play the game and it leaves Ad and team with dire consequences. It seems that Jim, Sissy and even Devina are now at a crossroads and every decision they make can have a long and lasting impact on how the rest of the war is played out. I cant even begin to imagine what JR Ward has planned for the continuation of this story. After 5 books Im still surprised and shocked with how this story is unfolding.

Possession focuses more on Jim Heron and Sissy and less on the soul in question. It was a little different from the previous books but definitely added to the intensity of the story. There is so much more to come with these characters and I cant wait until the next book. I havent been this excited since book 1.

On a technical note, Im glad the audio team worked out the issues from the previous book. Eric Dove is delicious as ever and I thoroughly enjoyed his narration.

Great, as usual

I have read/listened to all of this author's paranormal books & one of her contemporary romances. She never fails, IMO, when it comes to her paranormal books, and this one is no different. You don't have to have read previous Fallen Angels books to enjoy this one, but it's a treat to see the progression of things and then, at the end, to began the anxious process of waiting for the next installment. And the ending prepares the listener well to look forward to the next Fallen Angels book and to wonder when it will end. It can't be much longer unless there's a wrench thrown in the heavenly plan. You have to read the books to know what I mean.

The book has sex in it, but it's not explicit, doesn't use explicit language, and is not gratuitous. And sexual tension and innuendos are also present. But, for some people's taste, it might be too much. So be warned. My opinion is based on comparisons to erotica and books that walk a fine line b/c I listen to plenty of both, as well as general romances. I would place the level of sex herein with sex in some of the romances by Lisa Kleypas, Stephanie Laurens (historical romance), Linda Howard or Sandra Brown.

The book makes total sense.

With the help of a little O'Brien holiday magic, will Jenny and Caleb find a way to make sweet music forever?

Members Reviews:

Gets you in the holiday mood

A Seaside Christmas (Chesapeake Shores #10) is a light seasonal Christmas read. I would recommend reading the other Chesapeake books in order to keep up with the array of OBrien characters.

The audio book was nicely done and the narrator Christina Traisters voice was pleasant to get you in the holiday season mood.

As the only child of a single mom, Jenny Collins wanted to be a part of a large family; however, she was jealous and behaved like a brat. After a few years in Nashville she returns to Chesapeake Shores to help her friend Bree with a Christmas production and hopefully make peace with her mother. However Caleb, the country music star who broke her heart by cheating follows her there to try and win back her trust.

As usual the OBriens come together and stick their nose in make things happen to develop a sweet romance.

Great audio

What did you love best about Summer in Napa?

I purchased both the book and the whisper sync audio for this one. I like series when each book stands alone. I love the story, the characters, the ending and the audio narrator. Checking out more books in this series.

A great romance!

What about Renee Raudmans performance did you like?

I really enjoyed her narrative.

Cute Love Story but narrating not so good!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

No, the story was cute.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Summer in Napa?

I felt sorry for Lexi, everything was taken away from her.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Yes, the narrator voice was awful. The men sounded too old.

Enjoyable

I bought this book purely because it was on sale but I think I will look for this author again because it was a very quick easy read that was enjoyable.

A sudden urge to have cream puffs!

Marco and Lexi's story is pretty good! I enjoyed this book and getting to know the rest of the characters. Love the Granny's! They are a hoot!

Why Napa? It took place in St Helena.

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

At times I was really confused as to what the story line was trying to say? Maybe will figure it out on a return read. There were some really sweet moments that made up for my sometimes confusion. Also a couple off right out loud laughs. Would I listen to it again? Yes.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Summer in Napa?

All of the moments that included the dog were memorable. Loved Wing Man.

Which scene was your favorite?

The final scene was my favorite, but I don't want to give it away.

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

I was particularly moved by the confrontation toward the end when they were in the bakery.

Truly heart-breaking.

Any additional comments?

Publisher's Summary:

Welcome back to Gansett Island! Series favorite Tiffany Sturgil steals the spotlight in Longing for Love as her new boutique Naughty & Nice opens in downtown Gansett, right in time for the annual spring Race Week festivities. Finally divorced and ready for a new beginning, Tiffany wonders if sexy Police Chief Blaine Taylor thinks of her as often as she thinks of him since their explosive encounter last fall. Back then he directed her to call him the second she was officially divorced, but the opening of her store and her unconventional advertising "campaign" have put the island's lingerie queen at odds with the town's top cop. Despite their clashes, when these two finally get together after months of steamy build up, listeners will need to keep a fire extinguisher close at hand!

Blaine has been burned in the past by love affairs gone wrong, and he's wary about risking too much too soon. But he quickly discovers that Tiffany's sarcastic rejoinders and bitter outer shell hide a badly wounded heart of gold. He also discovers she's a "sex-toy fraud" and convinces her she can't possibly sell the merchandise without trying it out first.... While he finds himself thinking of her all the time, the mayor is after him to curb her sexy advertising and his mother worries that Blaine has taken on another "project" who will break his heart.

As Blaine and Tiffany fight for their happily ever after, listeners' favorite characters from past books are back for more island adventures. Joe and Janey return to Gansett for the summer and discover the big secret his mother has been keeping. Evan learns that Grace hasn't told her parents about him. Stephanie's restaurant is ready to open in the renovated Sand & Surf Hotel. Dan keeps showing up to "visit" Kara at work, Mac is worried about Maddie's upcoming meeting with her deadbeat dad and a Race Week catastrophe reminds everyone what's really important. The McCarthys of Gansett Island takes a decidedly erotic turn in this seventh book! If hot, sexy men in uniform cavorting with hot, sexy women who sell sex toys for a living aren't your thing, this book might not be for you!

Publisher's Summary:

Point of Retreat is a follow-up to the best-selling novel Slammed.

Hardships and heartache brought them together...now it could tear them apart. Layken and Will have proved their love can get them through anything; until someone from Will's past emerges, leaving Layken questioning the very foundation on which their relationship was built.

Will is forced to face the ultimate challenge: how to prove his love for a girl who refuses to stop "carving pumpkins".

"Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize just how much they need to fall back together."

Members Reviews:

I enjoyed this book, not the narrator.

What did you love best about Point of Retreat?

The maturity the characters tried to maintain and how Will had to show Laken why he was really in love with her.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That's tough. I like the neighbor girl, but Will won me over.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kamran R. Khan?

Either the girl who did the first book or a different male. He just seemed to rush through the reading and there was no real depth added by him. In the first book, the slams were almost over emphasized. In here he seemed to speed read and force the story. I didn't care for this narration at all.

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

Yes it butterflying did. A couple of times.

Any additional comments?

The story was great. It was predictable, but still a good story. It held a few surprises. The narration just really put a damper on my listening to it again.

Another great book by Coleen Hoover

Any additional comments?

Second book in the Slammed series and another hit! Outstanding job Ms. Hoover! Keep them coming!

Good story ruined by poor audio performance

What did you like best about Point of Retreat, Volume 2? What did you like least?

Change of the point of view, book 1 (Slammed) written from Lake's POV and this one is from Will's POV. Also enjoyed greater depth of supporting characters. Audio was poor, voice and quality.

What didnt you like about Kamran R. Khans performance?

His voice, when relaxed is smooth - but 80% of the time he speaks too fast and without enough emphasis. His female voice is too pitchy and ikky to listen to. The general audio is poor with some background noise heard throughout the book.

Did Point of Retreat, Volume 2 inspire you to do anything?

Inspired to ensure my children are financially and mentally prepared for disaster and death - It was a pretty good life insurance pitch actually.

I Butterflying Love It!

I butterflying love Point of Retreat! If I could, I would bottle up the goodness of this book and pour it on my own life. I cant even tell you how MUCH I love Will and Lake. Their love is the kind my dreams are made of.

My heart nearly broke in two for Lake in Slammed, and now the same can be said of Will in Point of Retreat. These two are no strangers when it comes to tragedy, yet they both remain strong through whatever life throws at them. They were both forced to grow up way too fast and take responsibility for their younger brothers. Their little family may not be traditional, but theyre happy, and they love each others guts. And that is definitely a sweet.

The way Will thinks about Lake, the way he talks to her, and really, just the perfect way he loves her, had me melting AND crying.
