I fell in love with Mrs. Ray!!!

This story was so brilliantly weaved and so intoxicating that i immediately purchased the only other book by Mrs. Ray audible has available and when i finished it went to the book store and purchased the third and fifth books in the Grayson family collection. the first is out of print, but i have pre-ordered it when it comes out Nov.4th. There is also a saga about the Grayson cousins the Falcons that is completely fantastic, as well as Mrs. Ray's nearly 2 dozen other novels i suspect are as brilliantly weaved together as this one is. This story is so rich with character development that you listen to it and almost feel like you're watching a movie. it was well worth the 8 hour run time and you finish it wishing you had more to listen to. please buy this book as well as the other ray selection and email audible as i intend to begging for more recorded Francis Ray novels to be offered!!!!!!

so love this book!

What made the experience of listening to Irresistible You the most enjoyable?

kevin, i loved how he did the different voices !

What did you like best about this story?

RUTH is no joke lol.

Which character as performed by Kevin Free was your favorite?

sebra

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

when everyone thought sebra died ! i cried a little.

Irresistable you

I love this book and the others about the grayson family. Excellent love story.

Enjoyable

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first two and I really enjoyed the first two books. Though the story line is unbelievable at times, it was quite entertaining. It's like watching a movie about a superhero, though everyone knows the story is impossible yet it is still enjoyable at the same time. I hope Francis Ray records her other books as well, I sincerely look forward to them and would purchase them if offered.

book and romance package review

I enjoyed the story but the narrator's chosen voice for Pierce was corny. it was hard to imagine in my mind's eye Pierce being as handsome as the author describes him from the narrator's voice. Also, I read this book from my new membership in the romance package. It is very disappointing that only one or two of Francis Ray's books in this series are included within the package although they all are considered romance. It appears to be a scam to get you to purchase out side of the package as well. NOT Cool!!!

Publisher's Summary:

Man with a Past

Cole Stockton had a will of steel and a raw determination to go after what he wanted, including Kelsey Murdock. He'd invaded her life, assaulting her with his sensuality, tempting her to be reckless. She sensed something dangerous about the man, in the secrets he refused to share, the past that still haunted him, the coiled tension that denied intimacy.

Between the Lines

Amber had married her boss for all the right reasons, no passion to break her heart, no love to risk and lose. She never imagined she'd be the one demanding more, yearning to feel things she vowed she would never risk again.

Ghost of a Chance

Anne Silver's brother had been working to expose a clever ring of swindlers when he was struck down by a car, a clear case of attempted murder. Now Anne's determined to finish what her brother started.

In a room with a view atop a Truro dune, Harriet starts on a different path to fulfillment by ghostwriting The Isabel Krug Story, based on the sexy blonde's tabloid past; specifically, a nasty night in Greenwich, Connecticut, when Guy Van Vleet died and Isabel lived to tell about it on Court TV.

Unusually talented in the man department, Isabel revamps and inspires Harriet as they gear up to tell all, including the tangled history Isabel shares with her odd lodger, an artist called Costas.

Ex-army ranger Jonathon Reece needs to prove himself with his new job at Lazarus Security. And his first big assignment is to hunt down a fugitive wanted for murder.

Normally, Mara Findlay would be delighted to have a nice piece of man like Jon hot on her tail - on the road and in bed! But having been framed for murder and eluding authorities (even sexy ones!) is taking its toll. Worse still, it looks like the only way out of this mess is by teaming up with the one man determined to haul her in. Unless she can exploit his one weaknessher!

Members Reviews:

Yeah for the Lil Lady!!

Our cocky hero really got his come uppence when he met up with Mara Findlay. A no hold bars type of girl, she got the drop on him from the very begining. Talk about a book with a lot of action this was it. Our couple was on the run from the minute they met up. I really enjoyed this one, can't believe I only paid $3.50 for it, really worth it.

didn't realize this version was abridged...

I love this novel and have read it many times. It has a whimsical and innocent/ mysterious feel to it with its period romance approach with such a refreshinly resilient character. I was very disappointed with this voice actor and the abridged version but couldn't make myself rate it less just because I am so fond of the story.

love it!!

I love this book. I have a physical copy but I don't have time to read it and just needed to hear this story. So I bought the audio so I can at least listen to it. Yes that is how amazing the story is.

Good book.

Really think this should be in the childrens section, I think my grand-daughter will love the story in a few years time. I enjoyed it too and it is well read.

Publisher's Summary:

Oh, what a tangled web....

Kelsey Cameron has spent the past four years thinking about a man she saw for only a minute. But it was a good minute. Huck Beck is getting a second chance at fulfilling a dream. And he won't do anything to mess that up. Even if every time he looks at Kelsey he desperately wants to do just that. Forced to pretend to be a married couple, Kelsey and Huck have to lie to Huck's family and friends. But in the end, are they really just lying to themselves?

Is the possibility of finding love...worth the lies?

This book contains a few fairly graphic love scenes, and the F-bomb is detonated. If it was a movie, it would be rated R.

Members Reviews:

Huck and Kelsey for the WIN

Just perfect.

Two people with something to prove to themselves more so than the agencies and family in which they work for and hold dear.

1. Mission

2. Cover

3. Catch

Yes Huck and Kelsey was in a web of lies to catch a small supplier from Canada in the U.

P.. What they got was closure from years past regrets and life lessons. Also, a partner that would be willing to build a forever with.

No more, Bad News Becks, that curse is extinguished. They are now the Crazy In Love Becks that are here for a lifetime. In Hucks case, a white lie or basket of them turned into a lifetime of truths with a tall, smart, conservative, sexy, possessiv, FBI analyst. Sorry ONS, Huck is off the market.

Mara, does the people and characters of Cooper County well. Always anew adventure and a little history of the sub-characters if you are not familiar. I truly am a fan of this series.

Not Worth Your Time

I do NOT recommend this book. While there is a plot, it is thin. The Heroine doesn't ring true to me and the entire book seems like an attempt to stay in a "Upper Peninsula is wonderful" mode. SPOILER ALERT: balance of this review will be specific.

First off, the Heroine is a "career woman", except, NO she isn't. She works for the FBI, which is portrayed as not wanting women in their work force. I have no idea if that is true, but the Heroine's response is to try to become a male-looking female. This is largely not a good idea. Having worked in a male-dominated career, the best way to do this is to BE YOURSELF, just neutralize your gender. For example, DON'T dress suggestively, act flirtatious or in any other way portray a stereotypical female. But if you are with a company where you will never advance, as this Heroine is, you LEAVE the company. Heroine refused an offer from CIA, which a career woman would have accepted.

Second, the Hero was raised by his brothers and mother because his "father" abandoned the family when he was 7 years old. As an adult, the Hero learns his mother's husband is not his biological father. From there, his part of the story diverges from the realistic. The Hero flips out and ruins his perfectly good career path. To which I say, "WHY?" Why on earth would this man care about a drunken man who abandoned him at a young age NOT being his father? It should have come as a TOTAL relief. Furthermore, apparently the idea that this man laughed because his biological father was dead ALSO devastated the Hero. Why? I'm a girl and I wouldn't even be devastated by this. Knowing that he wasn't destined by his genes to be a drunken deadbeat apparently devastated him.

When he asks her out for coffee, she assumes it's to sign the divorce papers he'd seen. What's a girl to do when her heart still goes pitter-patter for a man who ran out on her six months after they made their forever vows but comes back asking for another chance?

Whether it's a flickering flame in a marriage that's about to be rekindled, or a secret love that is shared, you'll find it in the small town of Banff where Decadent Events is located.

Members Reviews:

Not a keeper

This was my first Steena Holmes book and I bought it because it was free during an Amazon promotion. It was short, but I have read well-crafted short stories. This was okay, but not superb.

There's a lot of angst in this story because Jude deserted his bride, Tess, after the wedding (we are not told how long after the wedding, but we know it is shortly after they married) without a word as to why. When I began reading the story, I thought he had been gone a long time -- we are told that Jude and Tess's one-year wedding anniversary is coming up soon -- but later it is revealed he has been gone three months. Three months seems a little short for so much angst and and hopelessness. Tess has even been making enquiries about getting a divorce because she doesn't know where Jude is and if he is ever coming back. She doesn't even think about trying to look for him? Hiring a private investigator?

Anyway, first there's all the song and dance about not knowing why he left and if he's ever coming back. This is mentioned again and again; it's like this huge mystery, with great build-up. Then he comes back and we find out why he left and I thought, "THAT'S IT?!" The build-up made it seem like something really huge and serious, then we find out it's... what it is.

There's also the fact he keeps on saying he knows it won't be easy to win Tessa back, he's really messed up bad, actions speak louder than words, yadda yadda yadda. He goes on and on about it, his family gives him a hard time over it, then all it takes is one conversation and... wouldn't you know! Tessa takes him back immediately. Again, all that build-up for nothing.

And the actual issue is never resolved! His feelings, his fears, the reason why he left in the first place -- that's never resolved. We don't get to see him working things out with the other person involved, only Tessa, and only in that single conversation. It doesn't at all convince me that things are going to be better for him and Tessa the second time round. He hasn't overcome his problem yet. It's still there. This made the book feel unfinished.

Publisher's Summary:

In this spectacular new romance from acclaimed New York Times best-selling author Jane Feather, fate deals one stubbornly single young woman and one deceptively heartless man a shocking hand in a high-stakes bet. But is love in the cards?

Jack Fortescu gambles to win, and this time his prize is not only his rivals lavish mansion but everything in itincluding the mans beautiful sister! But when it comes to games, Jack has met his match. . . . Left homeless by her brothers escapade, Arabella Lacey has two appalling choices: pack her bagsor agree to marry the lunatic whos taken over her house. Why would such a handsomeand outrageously wealthyman want such an unromantic arrangement? Arabella intends to find out, and have a little fun in the process at Jacks expense . . . literally. As Jack discovers that his reluctant bride is no ordinary beauty, he feels a stir of admiration, among other emotions, that wasnt part of the bargain. Now hes the one with everything to lose.

Editorial Reviews:

There are few bigger names in romance than Jane Feather and in Almost a Bride she introduces perhaps her most compelling love story. Jack Fortescu is a rogue and a gambler. Arabella Lacey is a dignified and intelligent woman. So what happens when she finds herself thrown together by circumstances with this handsome man? Karen Asconi gives a wonderful performance as the voice actor for this tale of lust and relationships. Asconi does a great job capturing the humor and wit in all of Arabella Lacey's sharp remarks. Her steamy romance scenes are not to be missed!

Members Reviews:

Great read

Jane Feather always delivers.

Spectacular!

I wept and laughed and held my breathe in anticapation. No other author has been able to create such a response to a work of fiction. Bravo and much thanks!

Good Book, But Flawed at the End

I liked this book a lot--until the last part of the book where Jack and Arabella go to rescue his sister in Paris.

It did not seem to mesh with the rest of the plot. I would have preferred to see the two stay in London and work out their relationship. Instead, as another reviewer pointed out, Arabella almost becomes a saint at the end, and her almost single-handed rescuing of Jack's sister seems too contrived. She suddenly becomes Wonder Woman and risks her life twice in order to gain his full acceptance.

It just didn't ring true and seemed forced to me. It also seemed in total contrast to the tone of the rest of the book.

Up until that point I loved the book. Arabella was a great foil for Jack and I enjoyed their spats. Had Jane Feathers continued in that vein throughout the rest of the book, I would have given it 5 stars.

Jane F. is a good writer and it is clear that she is very knowledgeable about the history of that period, which I like. I will read more of her books. This is the first one for me.

A good read ..

I enjoyed reading this book and felt it was well researched. The vocabulary was delightful in that the author used what was common in those times. So many authors shy away from the language even when trying to make everything else authentic.

I liked the passion of Jack and Arabella. I think the one thing that bothered me was that Jack changed his stripes too quick for my tastes.
