Members Reviews:

Love CD Reiss, just Don't love this book.

I wanted to like this book... but it just wasn't my personal taste. It's depressing. The love scenes are abusive and dark. Even Sebastian York's seductive voice couldn't make this book sexy. It sat in my library for at least a month. The beginning was boring and the middle is just messed up. I kept trying to go back to it at different time's to see if it got more interesting. At this point I'm just going to throw in the towel. I'm bummed out and my ears are bleeding.

Not one of my favorites

Did not realize what the subject matter of the plot was and the struggle that lay ahead for the main character so at times it was a little difficult to listen to. At least at the end of the struggles the ending and the epilogue were happy. Probably won't be listening to it again though. Saved by two of my favorite narrators!

Awful book unless you like torture

I made it through about 4 hours before I gave it up! Rough sex, drugs, sad story. It might get better in the end and this is a good writer but the subject matter was awful! Depressing mental institution and forced sex!

Ok

Should have been a lot shorter. I found myself skipping chapters. It was very repetitive and at times, boring. There were some very nice parts but the parts that included sex weren't very exciting at all. Overall, I could have skipped this one.

Hard to get into this one

I likely wont read anything from this author again, this book took so long to get into it moved so slow and took me a long time to even enjoy the character. I was just mainly confused and frustrated in the beginning trying to sort her thoughts and even to hear them. Everything just seemed like a blur until almost the end.

I just didnt really enjoy the story line or the characters, aside from the doctor.

Publisher's Summary:

Arianna Dubray is nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael Kors bag carrying, on top of the world 17-year-old girl, Arianna knew that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere Montana.

Canyon Michaels is the keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he's forced to prove the town wrong and make it on his own.

The last thing Arianna needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.

Members Reviews:

This book is more than it's sexy cover!

I really liked Arianna and Canyon. I cant imagine anyone not liking them. ESPECIALLY Canyon! The story grabbed me right from the beginning with a good amount of suspense. It was obvious that they both had a past to deal with that was affecting how they lived in the present. I couldnt wait to find out what had happened to them that got them to where they were.

I liked the narrator, Lauren Sweet. She did a good job reading the book. However, the voice that she used for Ariannas little sister Shelby was a bit grating at first but eventually I was ok with it, probably because Shelby was a super sweet and very smart girl.

Also, I do like to stare at this cover I may have stared at it a couple times just while I was typing this. Two words: YES, PLEASE!

I am now looking forward to listening to the follow up book Let It Be Us to find out where Arianna and Canyon go next.

Love!!

All the feelings! I laughed and cried throughout this book. Narrator did amazing at bringing all of the emotions to life. The teenage angst, mingled with adult situations and how the characters handled them had to have been a nightmare for the author but she handled it with such grace.

5 Brilliant Stars

I really wasn't sure what to expect with this audio. When I see 17 year old, I always get a little apprehensive thinking the books going to be a little on the immature side and so I brace myself. NO need with this one if anything this girl/women Arianna is more mature then a lot of adults I know including me! :D

Ok so we meet Arianna and her family, I love her sister! Arianna is so so so good with her I loved that relationship throughout the whole book, these girls melt you heart I swear it.

Anyways they are new the town and right away you dont like the step-dad he is a grade A douche you want to push in to the lake. Her mother isn't any better. So already you have all these feels and then the girl has to start her last 2 months of her senior year of high school in a place she doesn't want to be and who doesn't want drama just to get through so she can get out.

Oh cant forget hunky dunky Canyon, ya with a name like that you so know he owns it. He is everything Arianna isn't looking for. He complicates everything in good and bad ways. She doesn't want to get attached to this place only she cant help it. Canyon helps her and becomes her friend and so so much more.

This is an emotional roller-coaster of a book I cried and even now thinking about it brings tears to my eyes I said to my husband who was giving me a hard time about being a softy, I told him look when an author can make me have to find the tissue its one hell of a book go back to our sports news and leave me be.

A Very PG Rock Star Romance

This was a very sweet love story that focused less on the rock star and more on the romance. It didn't delve to deep into the life of the rock star like most traditional books so if you're looking for that look elsewhere. This is also a very PG book so of your looking for something a little more steamy, also look elsewhere. This is just a cute sweet simple love story. Worth a listen.

Love her!

This author never disappoints! This was another great book read by a great narrator. I do recommend it!

The rock star and the artist -- ROCK!!

Really enjoyed this book! It was fun and romantic and yes, it's quite sexy. It was SO enjoyable and just what I needed.

Honestly, I was a bit weary going in as I've been surprised in the past with too much sexiness. I love sexy scenes but they have to be done tastefully and they have to add to the story. Julia London definitely delivered.

Argh! I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this story. It was so much fun! I just wish I felt more connected with the characters.

Cristina Panfilio was delightful as a narrator. I loved the different voices she provided each character and she was quite soothing to listen to after a long day of work.

Cheers to an awesome, fun and romantic story!

Julia london has done it again!

loved it ! I hope she turns this into one of her series ! love!

Fantastic narration!

Narrator made a good story great- male and female. Not sizzling hot but satisfying plot and character development. Worth the purchase !

Publisher's Summary:

Yoga instructor Genevieve Harper is a blond bombshell loaded down with responsibility and sacrifice. She makes the most out of raising her two siblings in the wake of their parents' tragic accident. At twenty-four, she doesn't have time to devote to a man...especially not the devastatingly handsome Trent Fox, who's known for being a "player" on and off the baseball field. Trent has the best hitting average in the league. Recently, he suffered a torn hamstring that takes him to the Lotus House Yoga Center for recuperation. There he meets the curvy, petite blonde with soulful black eyes and candy-coated glossy lips he'd like to do more to than kiss. He secures the flexible hottie for daily private lessons that ultimately show him how sensual the art of yoga can be.

Can love grow between a woman who's rooted in her life and a man who resists any notion of staying in one place?

If you're intrigued by the practice of yoga and desire a sensual, intensely erotic, and uniquely spiritual listen with characters capable of performing pretzel-like sexual acts, the Lotus House series is for you. Each of the seven books can be listened to as a standalone but are better listened to in order. No cliffhangers. Books are erotic romances written for mature audiences 18+.

Members Reviews:

Boring

Unless you are into yoga and enjoy hearing detailed poses and chakra information etc, skip it.

Okay

First book I've listened to, the narrators were very good, story line good, but with a book you can skip paragraphs when it's just to much sex.

Love Jacob Morgan

Love Jacob Morgan! The female voice got irritating after a while. I know she was trying to be all Zen, but too monotone.

Sweet, funny, and so much more!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read/Listen Stars!!!!!

Audrey Carlan has done it again! I starting reading her work with the Calendar Girls series and absolutely loved it. She quickly moved her way on to my Favorite Author List and with the start of this new series, she has just solidified her place and moved up her spot.

I love the fresh take on a sports romance . The yoga part was really refreshing and has made me miss the practice. I even gone so far as to make an appointment for refresher lessons.

I love Viv and Trent's characters. Their story was sweet, funny, exciting, and oh so HOT! I just love how Audrey was able to incorporate all the different aspects of the story and made it one hell of story. I can't wait to read more from her. Commence stalker mode!

LOVE CONQUERS RESISTANCE

I love how the art of yoga is being written in this novel series. How yoga can be used sexually. Plus, Trent was a true Alpha male to Genevieve's femininity. They were the perfect yin and yang coexist. The story and the characters were fantastically written. I know that this series will be GREAT!!

Publisher's Summary:

"Mia's whirlwind journey is a refreshing mix of adventure, soul-searching, and steaming hot physical intensity that packs an emotional punch." - Meredith Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hacker series

A muse. Me. The motorcycle riding, ass-kicking, concert t-shirt wearing chick from Las Vegas, is a world-renowned French artist's muse. For a month.

I had no idea when I took the escort job with Exquisite Escorts I would be standing naked in front of a blank canvas in a Seattle warehouse.

"Love on Canvas" he calls his exhibit, a combination of photographic stills and paint entwined to create the most awe-inspiring pieces the world will ever see. Except every last one of them features me and a moment in time where I was vulnerable.

Alec Dubois played on those vulnerabilities, teaching me lessons about love and life that would stay with me through the rest of my days.

Mia Saunders continues her mission to bail out her comatose father whose life is on the line to a dangerous loan-shark who happens to be Mia's ex-boyfriend. For this journey, she serves as a high-priced escort to a French artist named Alec Dubois in Seattle, Washington.

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will feature Mia, told from her perspective as she continues her journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

Members Reviews:

a little disappointed

I didn't enjoy this book as much as January. I couldn't get into the artist and it felt like it had no depth too me. I enjoyed the narration and will move on to book 3.

No thanks!

Book one was good, even great. I just can't get into the screwing of guy #2 just after falling in love with guy number 1. And I can only presume that she will be mowing through another 10 men. I listened to the sex scene at 3X the normal audio speed because it's just so sleesy. For me emotional attachment is vital to a good romance book (or life!); I need to be pulled in and brought along. Such a massive turn off. I can not comprehend the high ratings for this series. To each his own. Those of my ilk should pass on this series.

HOTTER THAN JANUARY!!!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved the artist character and the relationship they developed between each other. This relationship was so different than the one her and Will shared.

Which scene was your favorite?

Then ending was really cute on this one.

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

HOT HOT HOT

Any additional comments?

February is hotter than January. The book continues to get steamy and the assignment in this client made for a great story. Calendar girl is a book to read! I really like this story and its just getting better. Ready for Chicago.

THIS IS MY NEW OBSESSION

Every once in a while, I stumble upon a series that I have to literally gorge on--this is one of them. Mia and her rendezvous have my complete attention and all of my focus. I'm not usually a fan of these super short stories that could very well be two or three 8-hours books, but, this one is true to the disclaimer, it's a standalone and super hot, although I think you need to listen in order to grasp the context and understand Mia's actions/thoughts etc. Part of what is making this book enjoyable is the narrator, she's GREAT as Mia.

Publisher's Summary:

Chris "Shooter" Sullivan has returned to his hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota, to pick up the pieces of his life shattered by a roadside bomb in Iraq. He wants only to focus on holding what's left of his old unit together, running his garage where he builds custom bikes and cars, and pretending that his murdered father's motorcycle gang doesn't exist.

Hayley Turner is a young woman with her own traumatic past. Fresh off the bus from Nowhere, USA, all she wants is a job and a place to live until it's time for her to leave again. She doesn't want to make friends or enemies, least of all the ex-Army Ranger who obviously doesn't like her. She bristles under his watchful eye. He's even got her convinced that she's bad news.

But circumstances force two people who don't need anyone to need each other more and more. The more Chris gets to know Hayley, the harder it is to stay detached. And the more Hayley gets to know Chris, the more she realizes that she's been alone for so long, she might never recover from it.

Members Reviews:

Wow! Fantastic Story!

A truly captivating, well written story of falling in love! Excellent character development!

Loved the friendship, banter, and the overall easiness all the characters interacted with each other. This was a refreshing change of pace from the stories that have all the heat, attraction, and hot sex from the very beginning, to more of a touching, emotional story of slowing falling in love, learning to trust, letting someone in, and surviving.

I was soooo looking forward to book two until I saw all the negative reviews. Hummm, I can't visualize the character I just read about against what some of the reviews are leading too for the next book? Will have to think on it some before purchasing? But then again.... who am I kidding, I loved this story, and know I will listen to the other books in the series! :-)

As usual, narration was awesome! Mason always does a great job!

Well worth the time invested in listening to story! Credit or Sale!

WHAT AN ADDICTIVE & WONDERFUL SURPRISE

Isn't it a real joy when an Author surpasses all your expectations and delivers a story that has so many loveable characters, describes them so well that you feel like you're friends with them all, creates a loyal loving brotherhood and then introduces a love interest for one of them. Well Dahlia West did that.... and so so much more.

Hayley is running - running from a Psychopath that had already caught her once, nearly killed her and has ruined her life.... and he is still free five years later. Now strong willed Hayley's a lonely drifter going from town to town until she reaches Rapid City where she's welcomed... but just not by everyone. Chris (aka Shooter) and his friends are all ex Army Rangers and he doesn't trust or believe this tiny Drifter who he calls Slick but he can clearly see that she's been damaged and needs help so he reluctantly offers her a place to stay. And, even though they are very aware of each other's presence, they bicker, verbally spar and hurl a lot of witty banter at each other before eventually the intensity of feelings spectacularly boils over into lust, passion and achingly tender and understanding touches. Which is then sweetly followed by tentative steps into a powerful relationship of respect, lots of sex, trust and love.

Fun, easy listening book.

This was my first Audible book. I chose it to try the program. The Friends We Keep was a very enjoyable, happily ever after book. The narrator's voice was pleasurable and made listening to the book very easy and fun.

heart warming

I was so sad that it had to end ... It felt like I was part of the story

Good listen

I really wanted to slap the main characters as this story progressed, Even though I knew how it would turn out. When I get my feelings railed up I take it as good writing. Keep the stories coming.

Lame

Whiney, cheesy, hallmark movie quality. This book is so unbelievably lame. Lacks any real plot. And the reader is annoying.

An excellent sequel

Amazing continuation of a great story line with struggles and encouraging ways to move ahead when real life situations happen. Not your mushy romance story but actual life as it happens and the importance of loving and being loved. Thank you

Not long enough...

A cliffhanger is one thing but when two story doesn't satisfy you, that means it wasn't finished...

TOO SHOT...

Enjoyed listening to this book

I enjoyed this book. Wish it had been longer with more details but a fun short listen.

From Pages to Voice. Still amazing.

Loved this book so much. I felt like I was a part of the book. Kept me on edge the entire time. Already moved on to the next boom it's so good. P.T.

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 798 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

When three college besties meet three hot guys in Vegas, anything can - and does - happen. Book four in the New York Times Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet Filthy Boy (the Romantic Times book of the year that Sylvia Day called "a sexy, sweet treasure of a story"), Dirty Rowdy Thing, and Dark Wild Night.

For two people ambivalent about dating and love, they sure get naked around each other an awful lot....

London Hughes is very content to surf daily, tend bar, hang out with her group of friends, and slowly orient herself in the years after college. Everything's going great and according to the nonplan. But when a wave knocks her for a loop one morning, then Luke Sutter's flirtatious smile knocks her for another that evening, she veers slightly off course...and into his path. Sure, he's a total player, but the "why not? It's only one night" is a persistent voice in her ear.

For his part, Luke's been on hookup autopilot for so long that he rarely ever pauses to consider what he's doing. But after an amazing time with London, he realizes that he hasn't been moving on from a devastating heartbreak so much as he's been drifting to wherever - and whomever - the current takes him. With London he wants more.

Every relationship involves two people...plus their pasts. And as much as she enjoys her fling with Luke, when London learns about his past - more specifically, who's in it - everything becomes the brand of complicated she strives to avoid. It's up to Luke, then, to change some things in order to try to ensure he's not something she'll outright avoid as well.

Members Reviews:

cute

This author, or should I say these authors, are some of my favorites. I've read and listened to the entire beautiful series as well as the wild seasons and as always the books are adorable and funny, cute and easy.

That being said....

Here's the thing about them, they tend to be repetitive, which is great if you aren't reading the whole series or you're reading out of order, but if you're reading them the way I do, as soon as they come out, it can be a little off putting. The whole dynamic of the series revolves around this group and they tend to run parallel so you find yourself basically re-reading something that you already had before. Sometimes it's nice to see the other side of a scenario, sometimes it's frustrating. The characters aren't deep.

The real hang up I had with this one, and actually probably all of them, is that you drown in details. I don't need to know how to make a vodka gimlet, I don't need to know every single thing that's in a room and I don't need to know every single over exaggerated feeling everyone has. It swamps you. It may just be me, but honestly, it's overwhelming and I zone out.

Now, if you can get passed it, the book is great. It's fun, and it made me laugh. I'm in my thirties so the early twenty-somethings tend to be a tad cliche with the whole girl friend- zones player, player falls in love and chases, nerdy girl resists kind of way, and it's pretty drama free. Light. Pretty much, the problems that kids fresh out of college worry about before the world becomes real.

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 843 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The New York Times best-selling author of the Tangled books returns with the third romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart.

When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn't see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman...who wants to crush the most intimate - and prized - parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins.

When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue-worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her.

But she's not a lovesick social outcast anymore - she's a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it's time to put him through a little hell of his own.

But things aren't exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more - and makes her wonder if he's as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end they may just find themselves in love...or in contempt of court.

Members Reviews:

I OBJECT!--TO THE NARRATOR

It's a sad day when a storyline with great potential is railroaded by sub-par narration. Honestly, I am officially not a fan of Deacon Lee. Unfortunately, this may be the fourth or fifth book I've listened to with him as the narrator. I'm sure in another story, with a non-romantic themed storyline, he's fantastic, but, not this genre, not this book.

The Legal Briefs series has been stellar up to this one. APPEALED was good, it was, but, really, the narration stole the show, and not in a good way. The best part of the story was the epilogue, which pulled everything together in one of the best HEA's I've heard in awhile. I still love Emma Chase, and would purchase other books by this author, but sadly, this one was just ok.

Deacon Lee is NOT Alpha Male

Would you listen to Appealed again? Why?

I liked it better the 1st time I listened to it. However, the second time all I heard was the snarky tremble of Deacon Lee's voice. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Emma Chase. I have all her Audio books and have listened to them all several times. I like that this is 1st person in the males perspective - Has the usual dry humor with laugh out loud moments. The characters are well developed. There is some "trip down memory lane" moments but they are done in a way that doesn't leave the listener confused. No insta-love and this is a stand alone story. It's an Emma Chase story what's not to love... Except the narrator :(

If youve listened to books by Emma Chase before, how does this one compare?

Tangled is still my favorite. In this series probably Sustained. This is more a 2nd chance romance.

Would you be willing to try another one of Deacon Lees performances?

NO...just no. He has so many voices and his female voice is actually less distracting then his normal narrative voice when he's not in character. When he portrays other male characters it's less shaky.. But when he's narrating the H...his voice is just whiney

Favorite in the series

I absolutely love Emma Chase!! Her writing is so fresh & fun. Appealed had me laughing so hard I had tears.
