Publisher's Summary:

USA Today best-selling author Amanda Ashley has been crafting fan-favorite vampire romances for over 25 years. In Bound by Night, the Wolfram estate is a crumbling wreck of its former glory.

Imagine her surprise when she awakes in the arms of a vampire - the most beautiful man shes ever seen.

Critic Reviews:

Amanda Ashley is a master storyteller. (Christine Feehan)

Members Reviews:

Bound by Night, but not by editing.

This was an okay listen, not good nor really bad. The lead male character was a definite plus and the lead female was likeable - at least at first - but the whole story dragged on and was all over the place. Also, the author spent way too much time in the land of cliche.

This book didn't know WHAT it wanted to be: murder-mystery, political intrigue, family dynamics - it covered them all, and all under the umbrella of vampire romance. Going back and forth between plot lines, and in and out of character back-stories, it ended up a braided mess, no smooth movement, and not even a real climax. As the story moved on, I lost way too much interest in Elena, was predicting too many of the plot "twists," and was underwhelmed by the abuse of cliches.

EDITING was sorely missing, and the publishers did neither the author nor the story any favors. This is the first book that's probably better ABRIDGED.

Very lackluster...

I've read a lot of Amanda Ashley books over the years, and really enjoyed them. But this book just fails to deliver. The story is okay, but I wouldn't waste your time if you have another choice.

For one, the story keeps wandering, from the issue of Elena and her uncle, to that of Drake and the vampires, and Drake and Elena. Then the author keeps adding little sub plots, such as Andre and Katya, and Stefan, and Elena & Verdine.

But there seems to be a lack of emotion in all of this, even though the author tells you Elena is upset, you watch Drake in pain, etc. It's just too bland. The reader doesn't help, but the story itself brings down the performance.

If you want to continue enjoying Amanda Ashley's books, don't listen to this one.

Not too bad.

This was an okay story. A little predictable at times, and definitely could have been a shorter story. I felt like the author had a page number she was aiming for. The narrative was good, though the hero was a bit boring-sounding.

Good parts and bad parts

Is there anything you would change about this book?

it went on and on with no end in sight with little purpose other than to go on and on while also not describing events worth describing.

Would you be willing to try another book from Amanda Ashley? Why or why not?

Maybe, but after this that may be a hard sell.

Was Bound By Night worth the listening time?

?

Any additional comments?

There were portions of this book that were absolutely engrossing, but those parts were surrounded buy little more than filler. Even the passage of time in this book was a pointless filler.

I Couldn't Put It Down

It was a great book, I couldn't put it down. It had lots of tangents which kept you reading. I would have given the reader 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that you could hear her swallow through out the book which I found annoying. Other than that she was brilliant.

Silly protagonist, weak story, fluffy narrator

The protagonist had no credibility. The book starts as a female race car driver--supposedly intent, dedicated and determined to succeed from a young age--is tearing around turns at over 200 miles an hour, setting track records. While she should be listening to her engine and the sound of her transmission, figuring out how to take the next turn even faster, her heart pounding at her dangerous maneuvers, instead our airhead protagonist is laid back, thinking about her life, her boyfriend, joking amiably over her headphone. I don't THINK so! A race car driver is an athlete. A professional. This is the most important thing she has ever done in her life, for God's sake. And, our protag also has time, during her record-setting maneuvers, to look up at the stands and observe what is going on. PUH-LEASE!

The narrator made the whole thing even worse with her "tee-hee-hee" voice. She used a high-pitched girly narration to comment on the feel of the track and the turns, for example---sounding more like she was oohing over her latest nail polish than an athlete commenting on conditions.

Despite the initial nearly fatal attack on our protag, when the lady next takes the track, no one even seems to pay any attention to the possibility that she may be being targeted so no one pays any attention to the fact that her pills went missing and are found mysteriously. No. Everyone ignores this. Although our protag has already taken pills from a different bottle (and so ignores the newly recovered pills), her mentor takes them. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS FOLKS!!

I didn't get much further than this. It was just too dumb, dumb, dumb.

Needs sound editing

Would you try another book from Dee J. Adams and/or Eve Bianco?

Dee Adams yes. Not sure about Eve Bianco

What didnt you like about Eve Biancos performance?

I enjoyed the story very much and thought Eve Bianco did a great job differentiating the voices. I knew who was speaking as soon as I got into the characters. I have one beef though. You could audibly hear her swallow throughout the book, as if when she was reading, she needed to swallow frequently! I would think that in some sort of editing, one could edit out those noises. It was very distracting and I almost didn't finish listening to the book because of it.

Concerned that his client may be lying, Luke investigates the case more closely, which means spending more time with Amy.

Justified

The plot was well done and the love was evident. The author captures your imagination and runs with it happily to the end.

Members Reviews:

Susan Brockman at her best!

This was a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the story line and the narrator. There was enough suspense and danger to keep the story moving along and enough interplay between the characters to make it all interesting. The "Admiral" was introduced in several of her earlier novels so it had helped that I had read this one farther along in the series.

As I travel a great deal in my job, I have enjoyed the Navy Seal series and heartily recommend the novels of this author.

LOVED IT...but you must read Hawken's Heart first

Again, Suz is amazing in getting you into the head of the characters. The way Suz makes you feel how Jake struggles to let go of Daisy is just incredible. You DO NEED to read "Hawken's Heart" first or you won't understand this book in its depth. I would like to see a bit more of the SEAL action that Suz usually puts in there, but it is great.

What a story!

If you could sum up The Admiral's Bride in three words, what would they be?

The older man and the younger woman...can I find me one of those? Maybe not that age difference but wow, it wants you to root for them from the start.

What did you like best about this story?

You don't know how it going to play out. Some parts where going slow...I really wanted the action to pick up. I loved the last few chapters. It tells you all about team work, love, just the power of all of that, just drawls you in.

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

Actually, the beginning where the men where injured and thinking about the families back home. What they where missing about them...The story pulled me in from the moment the book started.

I loved where the story took me...

I love this author... her characters are great and the different stories keep me completely involved through the entire book. I love the fact that the characters are depicted with intelligence... I find myself intrigued.

Not my favorite by this author

Just started this series and look forward to the stories getting better as always with Ms. B s books.

Publisher's Summary:

Sorcha Logan is looking for peace.

Recently returned to her hometown on Scotland's craggy coast, Sorcha wants to tame the spirits that made her flee. When she finds a corpse in the surf, however, she can't suppress the memory of discovering her father's body. Nor can she suppress the ghosts that haunt her - or the town's conviction that she's dangerous and a witch.

Ben Foley is looking for a killer.

An American DEA agent, Ben is in town to investigate the suspicious death of his partner. He's sure that Sorcha knows more than she's letting on, but the more time he spends with the sexy suspect, the less he can fight their illicit attraction. And the less certain he is she's involved with a drug cartel.

But can Ben protect Sorcha from being set up? Or worse - killed?

Members Reviews:

good story

I liked this story. very interesting plot and characters. A bit of sci fi mixed in. narrator did a great job at character voices but read really slow and had too many elongated pauses.

Storm Warning

I enjoyed the paranormal aspects of this story but wish they'd played a more prominent role. Otherwise it was a good mystery. Kept me guessing till the very end.

Great love story..

Any additional comments?

A little angsty but still a great read. I really liked Ben and Sorcha. Liked Ewan McKnight all the time and Carolyn only some of the time. AND I was kinda surprised by the bad guys. That was totally unexpected. This is my first book by Toni Anderson and I was pleasantly surprised. I do recommend this book to romance lovers, mystery lovers and paranormal lovers.

As to the narrator: If I ever wanted to listen to a book that would put me to sleep this would be the one. Ms. French was soooo boring. She read the entire book with the same monotone voice and most of the time Ben sounded just like Sorcha.

And, speaking of S O R C H A, how do you pronounce that name? Because the narrator was pronouncing it Sir-i-ka. That doesn't sound right, does it? Anyway, it was very distracting when you realize how often the heroine's name is used. Needless to say, I doubt very much that I'll rush right out to buy another book narrated by Marni French.

The Only Series

I am impressed with Only You and with this Series of books that are currently available on Audible. . This not only has romantic flavor, but the narration and the descriptions of this rugged land are wonderful. I have read everything from Sandra Brown to Joanna Ross and Ms. Lowell's work is unique.

Only You

Good story. Enjoyed listening to this -- twice!

Good, solid story

Good story with nice narration. If you are partial to westerns like I am, you won't be disappointed.

sexy romance

I have engjoyed the 'only ' series from elizabeth Lowell ;

this book was no exception- especially the sex scenes

My Thoughts

I throughly enjoyed this book, revisiting the characters from only his and only mine was exciting and following the romantic journey of Reno and Eve was steamy and heart jerking

A very good read

I loved this production. Suspense was good and capturing. Hurray for a good book without swearing, vulgar language and sex scenes.

Sub-par

Completely different in content and focus from the rest of the KEYNews series. Really has no place being included. Boring and anti-climatical. Pretty much a snooze.

Also keeping her guessing is Marc Westbrook, a landlord who embodies the meaning of the term drop-dead handsome. Soon, she'll have to trust him with the secret that drove her into seclusion, a secret that has already cost the life of one man she loved.

Members Reviews:

This is not unabridged?

Really? 'Cause if it's not unabridged, Kay Hooper forgot to write about a third of this book.

Of course, The Haunting of Josie is so cliched, you can fill in the blanks yourself.

I did, however, discover a really fine narrator, Traci Svensgaard, who managed to elevate even the tritest of language (he..."covered her startled lips with his"). Only my enjoyment of her skillful reading sustained me to the end of the book.

Josie & the pussy cat

Good,short story.Not really scary if you were hoping for some scary,more like a Mystery but a pretty good one.The narrator did pretty good especially doing the cat sound effects.Josie had her own Mystery to hide from Mark who works pretty quick in ALL things.The guy doesn't waste time when he wants something whether it's a love affair or information. Seemed to be a bit pushy for a Hero character but Josie falls for him any way.

Great narration!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Haunting of Josie to be better than the print version?

Can not comment, as I did not read the print version.

What do you think your next listen will be?

anything narrated by Traci Svendsgaard.

Which character as performed by Traci Svendsgaard was your favorite?

I thought she did well on all the characters. I feel gender jumping can be tricky for some, but she was very smooth and it was always clear who was speaking.

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

sorry - I'm not good with this kind of thing.

Any additional comments?

good book, great Reader!

I really liked it!

This is a very cute story. I really enjoyed it even though it was very predictable. I am a cat lover and the cat in this book was cool. I loved how the author made him almost talk!
