Publisher's Summary:

A dark romance about the lies that lead us down....

I'll do anything to get safe, even if that means working at the scariest club in town. I'll do anything to stay hidden, even if it means taking off my clothes for strangers. I'll do anything to be free. Except give him up. When he looks at me, I forget why I can't have him. He's beautiful and scarred. His body fits mine, filling the places where I'm hollow, rough where I am soft. He's the one man who wants to help, but he has his own agenda. He has questions I can't answer. What are you afraid of? You.

Love the Way You Lie is a full-length, dark romance novel that does stand alone. Fair warning: contains scorching scenes in the VIP room.

Critic Reviews:

"I've always been a fan of Skye Warren ever since I read Wanderlust. Her writing is flawless and tales captivating. Love the Way You Lie is no exception. Five stars." (Pepper Winters, New York Times best-selling author of Tears of Tess)

Members Reviews:

A gripping tale!

This book was amazing! A definite must read by Skye Warren! It will take your breath away and make your head spin!

Very good

Scary and sad. Very different love story with a lot of male violence towards women. No punches were pulled.

Big Change from Book One

I was thrown to realize this book was so different than book one. Since it hadn't ended with an HEA, I assumed we'd follow that same couple in this book. Instead we switch to the older sister. A lot of thier past is revealed, and it gets gritty but it feels as if the overall story arc is moving forward. I'm going to keep with the series in hopes to learn more about the younger sister.

dark and very intriguing

I loved it. The narrator is amazing and the story twisted. Honor and Clara fought for the freedom and the life they wanted and in the process Honor learned a thing or too, especially about who to trust!

Dark Romance

Lets just start by saying that I didn't realize that Love the Way You Lie was such a dark romance, it was a bit overwhelming for me at times. There was a lot, I mean a lot of dark and dirty sex scenes. And there were a lot of dark, very serious plot points. I went back and forth on my feelings for this book.

At first, I was intrigued. Honor (A.K.A. Honey) was telling a whole lot of lies, and I was really curious to see where this story was going to take us. But at about the 50% mark I was forcing myself to continue, Each chapter followed the same format: Honor talks about past or surroundings, she has a sexual encounter with Kip, she goes on and on about how dark and dangerous he is and how broken she is, one of them gets mad at the other and then she longs for him and a better life. Over and over and over. Nothing was happening. The book was at a stalemate.

Then, all of a sudden, the book got exciting. Shit got real and the story picked up. Lies were brought out in the open, questions where answered and people were killed. It was a very exciting last third of the book. The only problem is that I wish the whole book would have been as exciting. The slow, methodical pacing of the first 2/3rds of the book just brought my rating down.

Publisher's Summary:

This kind of business can only be personal.

Sage Reese lives for her job. More precisely she lives for her debonair boss, Parker Andersen. Sage handles everything for Parker, even as she fantasizes about the one thing that isn't in her job description: him. But when a high-stakes account crosses the line from shady to deadly, a tough cop starts giving Sage the attention she wishes Parker would....

Detective Dean Ryker couldn't be more different from Parker. While Parker wears expensive suits like a second skin and drives a BMW, Ryker's uniform is leather jackets and jeans...and his ride of choice is a Harley. While Parker's sexiness is a reserved, slow burn, Ryker is completely upfront about what - and who - he's after. And Sage tops his list.

Now, as Ryker digs deeper into the dark side of Parker's business, Sage finds herself caught between two men: the one she's always wanted - and the one who makes her feel wanted like never before....

Members Reviews:

Good.

Was pretty good, will be waiting for the next book in this series to come out.

Painful

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A different narrator would have gone a long way it was painful to listen to.

What could Tiffany Snow have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The lead female was too dumb to live. The male characters were better.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Laura Hopatcong?

Anyone who can do male voices.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment, it could have been so much better.

Sage is a drip!!!

Would you try another book from Tiffany Snow and/or Laura Hopatcong?

Tiffany Snow is one of my favourite authors but this book is a real let down. Will I try another Tiffany Snow book - yes of course I will but unless Sage's character improves I won't be downloading the next book in this series.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Give Sage a backbone would be my first thought. She was so indecisive and I can't believe that Tiffany Snow would give us such a drippy heroine.

What three words best describe Laura Hopatcongs performance?

The narration was ok but not outstanding.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Very Hard to Finish !!!

What would have made Power Play better?

A better heroine. Sage, seems to come across as a complete push over. And really ... when dealing with the mafia can anyone be so dumb and clueless. The story had great potential, I just wish Sage would have been written with more something, confidence, assertiveness, she just needed something more.

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

It didn't end! I was so aggravated about that. It had a sort of ending. But book 2 picks up right where book 1 ends. Same characters. After 10 hours I'll never get back, I don't think I'll listen to the next one.

What didnt you like about Laura Hopatcongs performance?

Hated the narration. Sorry Laura. The dialog between Sage and Megan, a friend at work, always sounded so young adult. The voices sounded like they were barely out of their teenage years. The Ryder & Parker's voices sounded a little to feminine for my taste. I felt the portrayal of both men came across as if they were both jerks.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Major Disappointment.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

This book is more in line with the**original** feel of the vigilantes. Now, with that out of the way, what's up with the dog (Cooper)?

The Vigilantes are Back !

Thank you Fern Michaels for bringing back most of our favorite gals and guys that we have learned to love in the Sisterhood Series. Please continue not to disappoint. So enjoyable!

In Plain Sight - another Fern Michael success

Fern Michael does it again. I've enjoyed all of this series over the years. I hope there will be many more to follow.

Fern did it again!

Would you consider the audio edition of In Plain Sight to be better than the print version?

Can't really say as I only have the audio version. I have the complete set in the audio version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of In Plain Sight?

When they got rid of the pesky nurse!!

What about Laural Merlingtons performance did you like?

Laurel always does a stellar job!!

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

Yes but just couldn't manage the time.

Any additional comments?

Since I have all the Sisterhood series on audio, I've been back through the complete several times. Every time a new book comes out, I dig them all out and start all over again so I don't forget anything!! I think I might check out some of Fern's other series. I normally dislike series but hers have been wonderful.

The sisterhood rocks

I have enjoyed this entire series, from the beginning. Always afraid it will be the last, and excited when a new book is released. I have several of the hardbacks

Publisher's Summary:

Andrea Peterson gave her heart to Lance Foster. She knew him before he was famous. She started dating him when he was waiting tables for a living. She was there for him through one failed audition after another. Then, the minute he got a taste of acting success, Lance broke her heart.

After that Andrea becomes determined never to date another actor again. That's a hard enough promise to keep in an actor-filled city like Los Angeles. The true test comes, however, when she meets a handsome new stranger who catches her eye like never before. When Andrea finds out this new man is an actor, she begins to wonder: Is the past doomed to repeat itself, or will things be different this time?

Love Makes A Comeback

The book was alright glad they at last found each other but I just wanted more. I love all your Amish books you take us into a lot. I am ready to move onto one of your Amish book which I do have a few. Thanks again for all of your great books.

Delightful romance

I read Becca's book before, now this Christian Romance story I found quite delightful and charming and sweet. The only critique, it was a bit mundane. I enjoyed where the storyline was heading and the protagonist kept me interested but the flow of it needed to pick up speed. As I moved along the pace slowed that one can lose interest, but because I found the two main characters intriguing I wanted to know how their relationship will turn out. Becca Davidson writing skills is top notch and I never doubt her ability to bring a story to life. I rooted for Andrea and Daniel in this simple yet pleasant courtship. I could count on reading something clean and a wisp of simplicity too. I am a fan and look forward to reading more of her books. Received a free digital download for an honest review and this is my honest review. Thank you, Darlene Cruz

A Touching and Heartwarming Love Story

A wonderfully written story about a young woman's struggle to find a life partner in a town that unfortunately has many people who only care about themselves and how they can get ahead no matter what the costs. Andrea thought she had found love with a struggling actor Lance. However, when Lance finally got his "BIG BREAK" and got work in the television industry, he showed his true colors. Andrea wisely saw his true nature and said good-bye to him which was so very tough for her as she loved him so very much and really thought he would become her life-long soul mate. Disillusioned, she stopped dating all-together until a chance meeting at an Ice Cream Shop led her to meet a man who was not at all like Lance, except for the fact that he too was an actor. However, this actor, Daniel, was obviously a very grounded individual who truly cared for Andrea and her feelings. Even when Daniel himself was unsure whether or not he would obtain success in the acting industry, he was sure of one thing and that was his growing love and respect of Andrea who was very supportive of all his acting endeavors. In the end, even though Daniel did get his "BIG BREAK" in the television world, he knew his biggest accomplishment was not landing a television series, but finding the love of his life in Andrea.

During her run, however, she runs into a man who had a crush on her ever since junior high school. She brushed him off then, broke his heart, and forgot about him... until she sees the man he has become.... Is it too late to make amends?

Members Reviews:

Not for me.

Did not really connect with the story because the characters did not develop well due to the limited number of pages. It was very short so there was no room to put depth into the characters and so they came out shallow.

Five Stars

Great book.

Publisher's Summary:

Physicist Scarlett Stone is the daughter of the man considered to be the most notorious Russian agent in FBI history. With her father dying in prison she's determined to prove he's innocent, but time is running out. Using a false identity, she gains access to the Russian ambassador's Christmas party, searching for evidence of a set-up.

Former Navy SEAL, now FBI Special Agent, Matt Lazlo, is instantly attracted to Scarlett but life is too complicated to pursue a politician's daughter. When he discovers she lied to him about her identity, he hunts her down with the ruthless efficiency he usually reserves for serial killers.

Not only does Scarlett's scheme fail, it puts her in the sights of powerful people who reward unwanted curiosity with brutality. The FBI - and Matt - aren't thrilled with her, either. But as agents involved in her father's investigation start dying, and the attempts to stop Scarlett intensify, Matt and his colleagues begin to wonder. Could they have a traitor in their midst? As Scarlett and Matt dig for the truth they begin to fall passionately for one another. But the real spy isn't about to let anyone uncover their secrets, and resolves to remain firmly in the shadows - and for that to happen, Matt and Scarlett have to die.

Espoinage and the Search for Justice

Cold Light of Day begins with Scarlett trying to clear her father's name for being the most notorious FBI agent who turned traitor to his country. Attending a party at the Russian Embassy with her friend April LeMay and pretending that she is April's sister, Sarah Lemay was the first step, Scarlett could get in to bug the ambassador's office except somebody has beaten her to it. Scarlett could have walked away but she lost one of her earrings which put her on very dangerous people's radar, who don't want the case to be reopen.

FBI Agent Matt Lazlo stepped in as a representative for his boss, FBI ASAC Lincoln Frazer at the Russian Embassy party. He bumped into Scarlett who spilled champagne on him. He felt the instant attraction to Scarlett. He wanted to ask Scarlett for her number except he didn't feel comfortable to be dating anyone while he has family obligation.

When Matt discovered that Scarlett has lied to him of who she really is and what she attempted to do, he arrested her. As more people are being hurt and start dying, the FBI and Matt are starting to wonder if Scarlett's claim that they have imprisoned the wrong man for being a spy.

Cold Light of Day really have non-stop action. The action doesn't stay with the main characters. It gets spread out between the secondary characters in the story. The only thing that the readers/listeners know is that there is still a spy in the FBI Agency working with the Russians.

I love the cat and mouse game in the story. The Russians and the spy are trying to draw out Scarlett by attacking people Scarlett cares about. Matt and Scarlett are trying to stay one step ahead them from being killed and trying to figure who they can trust. There are so many twists and turns especially with the secondary characters who could possible be a spy(ies).

The narrator, Eric Dove did an excellent job. There are so many players in this story, it is amazing that he could give different voices to the characters.

Regan: I never really knew what misery was until the day I was kidnapped and sold for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two months later I'm at a brothel in Rio when I meet Daniel Hays. He says he's here to save me, but can I trust him? He's the only safe thing in my world, and I know it's wrong to fall in love with him, but I can't seem to help myself.

Daniel: For the last 18 months, one goal has dictated every action I've taken. I've left the army, turned paid hit man, and befriended criminals all across the globe to find my kidnapped sister.

Critic Reviews:

"I'm happy to report that Clare and Frederick knocked this one out of the park." (Minnchica, The Book Pushers)

Members Reviews:

I CLUNG ON TO EVERY WORD.... & HELD MY BREATH TOO

Right from the start the hard hitting storyline grips you as the story picks up from book 1 after Reagan had been kidnapped, repeatedly raped, kidnapped again and then sold and is now in a dark basement chained up, treated like an animal and 'servicing' men. But her spirit isn't broken as she recites Zombie Movies in her head whilst things are being done to her body and somehow it's often her they are afraid of. But then one day in walks an American who has bought her for a little while and is taking her out, out to daylight and out of her Hell hole. She doesn't know if this is finally the end for her..... but she plans. Daniel has actually come to save her, and his Sister, he's gone through 18 months searching, rescuing and killing and he doesn't intend to stop until they are all back home free...... but fate has a different plan for them all.

This is an intense journey and your emotions go from euphoria to despair in a heartbeat and then laughter to tears in the next as these two damaged people find romance and love amongst the backdrop of chaos, murder, gangs, the Russian Bratva, bloodshed and destruction which somehow makes their bond unbreakable.

Writing a Review for a book you loved is so easy because Reagan and Daniel's story was all kinds of terrible, all kinds of shocking and all kinds of wonderful too. It was so well written you could picture each thrilling, chilling or romantic and tender scene and each and every character that made up this brilliant listen. The narrators did a great job with the many voices and emotions called for and it was a dual POV listen that had plenty of romance, sex, dirty talking and loving in amongst the violence.

Worth a credit? When you're in the mood for a more hard hitting love story then they don't come much better than this series dedicated to men who have somehow lost their way in life and have become, for whatever reason, Hit Men but are saved by love. Very creditworthy, the next book is already downloaded for when I next need a hit.

Great Story About about Healing & Love

Would you listen to Last Breath again? Why?

I can listen to this over & over, it is that good.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-15

Publisher: PRISM BOOK GROUP

Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Sarah is given a new mission: to link Robert Johnson and Brittany Lee, two people she encountered while trying to bring a couple together on that irksome Internet dating service. Oh sure, she'd done it. Not without trial and a lot of error, but with this fresh assignment, trouble would come...she was positive.

If she hadn't grumbled about the computer, perhaps the lieutenant wouldn't have ordered her to ride the Galveston Ferris wheel. She'd seen the huge rotation device built over the Gulf of Mexico, and the very thought of a ride on that monster made her nauseous.

What if she threw up on the humans?

Oh, merciful heavens! Why did the superiors give such tasks to bumbling angels anyway?

Members Reviews:

Merciful Heavens - another visit from Sarah!

The little angel is matchmaking again, this time with a couple introduced to us in Ms Lewisâ novella Sarah and the Internet Dating Service. Brittany and Robert are perfect for each other, but religion isnât for her. Robert believes differently because he senses God has brought them together.

Through a series of circumstances, Brittany learns there is a power greater than herself. When Pastor Matt tells her, âevidence is all around us, but it takes faith to seeâ, she focuses her desires on the faith her friends and especially Robert share.

After an encounter with Brittany, Robert calls Sarah a sweet messenger and she feels sheâs finally done something right. Before the storyâs end Sarah must ride the dreaded Ferris wheel at Pleasure Pier in Galveston. Hopefully sheâll survive to bring us another romantic tale.

Ms Lewis has us rooting for the impossible little angel and laughing at her mistakes and adventures. Sarah said the angels looked down at her and rolled on the golden pavement with laughter â theyâre not the only ones. Iâm looking forward to another adventure from Sarah.

Merciful Heavens! Another great Sarah story!

Sarah's mission from the Heavenlies is to bring together Robert and Brittany, two characters we met in an earlier story. As usual Sarah's little quirks and eccentricities make things a tad difficult sometimes but a lot of fun. She manages to escape the ride on the scary ferris wheel once, but can she manoeuver around it a second time? Sarah is sure she'd never live it down if she actually threw up on earthlings. And trying to do a catwalk pose on stilettos in an unusual setting is just the sort of thing that will send her heavenly friends into gales of laughter. This is another delightful romp with unorthodox angel, Sarah. Definitely a must read.

Fun read

Another fun read of our angel sarah, she is so much fun as she rides along in or on the car and her many mishaps. As long as she stays away from computers and her favorite foods!! Was so funny her reaction before and after riding the Ferris wheel for the first time!

Clean feel good book

Sarah, the angel is so challenged with trying to remember everything necessary to help bring people together to complete her assignment.

Couldn't put the book down!

The book and so entertaining that I had a hard time putting it down! The story builds on characters introduced in Sarah and the Internet Dating Service, although you would not have to have read the prior novella to enjoy it. As always with Gay Lewis' books, there is an excellent mixture of humor, romance, suspense, and spiritual direction.
