Publisher's Summary:

Up until now, Nicole's life has been mapped out for her. She'd go to college, marry Jake and become the upstanding minister's wife. When she leaves that life to begin again in a small town in Texas, she finally has the freedom to live as she chooses. There, she meets Kent, a guy whose charm and passion make it hard to stick to her morals. Dodging his father's fists and protecting his twin sister made Kent into the man he is today.

He learned by watching his mother stay by his father's side that it's better to keep relationships simple. Then he meets Nicole. Her sweet smile and genuine response to him land like punches to his resolve. After a lifetime of learning to protect his heart, can he finally let down his guard?

I Choose You is one of my FAVORITE reads for 2013

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

Yes and No I would recommend this audio book to friends. I LOVE LOVE the story but the reader Katie just did not do it for me. It was very slow and there were times when I found myself wandering and looking at other things and doing other things. I hate to say this because I have listened to hundreds of audio books and I loved them but there is just something I did not care for with this reader.

This is what I expected from the reader for her to be more like Adam Paul. He is energetic and fun and exciting all in one. He makes me wish I was sitting right in his lap like a kid listening to him read. His voice has this presence to it that grabs a hold of you and keeps you there and wanting no that is not right needing more from him.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the story in general because man this series is SO off the hook that I wanted Bethany to write more!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No

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

Friends turned lovers

Any additional comments?

I wish Adam Paul could narrate this series!

Four sexy stories with a military twist

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed these four sexy stories. Mmmm Men in uniform.. Some hotter than others. A great way to pass a few hours and have time out from a full on long story. Most enjoyable..

Worst narrator EVER

What did you like best about Duty to Please? What did you like least?

It is hard for me to review this collection of short stories. I think that the stories were just what I expected. Short, fun, sexy, just a bit of brain candy for a day when I didn't want to have to think too much. Having said that, the narrator made it almost impossible for me to listen to the book. Words mispronounced...zero emotion...an odd cadence...and (for me anyway) one of the most annoying voices I can imagine! Even though this was a very inexpensive purchase...and I wasn't expecting a masterpiece...this is going to be my very first EVER return to Audible. It was quite simply...awful. The authors of these short stories were done a great disservice by the publisher who chose this narrator.

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

Get a narrator that could evoke some emotion...any emotion

Would you be willing to try another one of Pepper Streets performances?

No...no...no

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

no - it is a collection of short stories and there is not enough content for a movie

Publisher's Summary:

Plastic surgeon Whitney Vidra knows all about getting over a cheating ex. She followed her boyfriend halfway around the world before she found out about his infidelity. Now she's focusing on her career and her friends, and using men just for single-serving, no-strings fun. Until she meets charming Matt Fuller.

Newly single Matt is captivated by the vibrant Whitney, in every way the opposite of his cheating ex-wife. When he confesses to Whitney that he hasn't had sex since his divorce, she volunteers to be his rebound girl. But Matt's not a no-commitment kind of guy - he's either all in, or all out.

Whitney is determined to remain attachment-free, but Matt is equally determined to prove to her that what they have is more than just a rebound fling.

Toxic Heroine, Insufferably Sweet Hero

It's a good thing I read book two of this series, The Derby Girl, before reading this, because if I'd read this first I would have given up on the series and Derby Girl is delicious and fun in a way that The Rebound Girl totally isn't. I disliked Whitney, the heroine of this book, more than any character I've read in a long time. She's shallow, abrasive, insensitive, judgmental, emotionally-stunted, bossy, bratty, and cruel. That's actually integral to the plot: she's setting up a medical spa business in a tony Philadelphia suburb, and the townspeople take an instant dislike to her because of her behavior and attitude, which causes all sorts of problems for her fledgeling business. At first, Whitney doesn't care. Her attitude is: "Why waste energy placating people she cared about less than fingernail clippings?" (Loc. 1508) That sums up my problem with Whitney in a nutshell: there should never be people you care about less than fingernail clippings. Whether you know them or not, whether you like them or not, they are people and they deserve basic respect and civility. Anyway, it's no wonder the people of Pleasant Park don't like Whitney: the mystery is why the hero, mild-mannered schoolteacher Matt, apparently does. (It has to be more than sex, if I'm going to become invested in the HEA, and I never found any deeper connection between this couple.)

Matt's not a perfect character, either. He's too good to be true, willing to take almost unending abuse both from Whitney and from his cheating ex-wife, whose life is still very much entwined with his.

I didn't enjoy the sexytimes in this story because the power dynamic was so uneven: Whitney was unabashedly using Matt, and though he was willing to go along with it for a long time (men put up with a lot for sex), I didn't have any patience with it.

There are brief glimpses of both Jared and Gretchen, the hero and heroine of The Derby Girl, in this book, but in my opinion that's not enough to salvage The Rebound Girl.

Laugh-out-loud fun!

I love funny books, but it's not often I find one that makes me laugh out loud all the way through. This was one of those books. And Whitney was one of those characters who delivers every punchline flawlessly. 'Life with Whitney was ass-hugging jeans and laughter. It was stolen kisses and rushed orgasms. It was yelling and arguing and a constant battle of wills. Life with Whitney was exhilarating.' True that.

Members Reviews:

Star crossed love

Georgie has had a rough family life and almost died from anorexia. She is beyond that now and is paying for her weaknesses in her teenage years. A past marriage and divorce to a man who turned out to be as bad a drunk as her father is keeping her from achieving a love match with Prince Ibraham from the country of Zaraq. Divorce is not recognized the desert country. The old ways and the modern clash to cause major problems in the old country, especially with the outbreak of a virus that lack of easy transportation of medical aid to the outlying villages has complicated. Georgie's sister warns her not to get involved with Ibraham because he is a playboy with no intentions of settling down. Ibraham has allowed the estrangement of his parents to rule his life and keep him from his home country except for short visits. His brother, Georgie's brother-in-law, Karim is warning Ibraham away from Georgie. The attraction between them is too strong and after giving in, they decide they must part. Both struggle with their emotions and the situation with the rules of the country. Only change in the country can allow them to be together.

great

Another great book by a wonderful author. This one of my favorites by her. Everyone will enjoy reading it ..

Fantastic delivery of strong family pride and passions

fantastic elements built into this proud, hard working royal family. I love the strength and power of Karim and Felicity's marriage as it has a huge impact on H and h as well as the dedication they have to look after the people of the land. This is an important thread that binds all the characters in this compelling drama of loyalty and responsibility to the throne, the land and it's people.

H, Ibrahim has always fought the throne and desert and for deep reasons, defied the King and lived/worked in London instead. His romance with Georgie is compelling, feisty, deeply romantic and action packed.

The family dynamics are high powered, the shift in power is full on and the family reconciliations are full of satisfying twists. Highly recommended

Hot romance

Georgie had a troubled youth she ran away from home many times and they always sent her back. Her father was a drunk and emotionaly abused. So she could only change what she ate and had to get treatment for she got to thin and died.

Georgie went to Zaraq for her sister's wedding to a prince. She met Ibrahim who she thought was handsome they had a serious talk and they started to have an encounter but Georgie stopped. Harsh words were exchanged she did not tell him she was married and getting a divorce.

Ibrahim hates the desert because his brother died out there. His mother because of desert laws was exiled to England and could not even come back to bury her son or see grandchildren born. So Ibrahim stays mostly away from Zaraq.

Teacher catches the Prince

I thought this was a very sweet story, if not a little bit predictable. I thought the author did well building her characters and the story went rather smoothly. I would definitely read this author again in the future.

Good read!

Good read. I like the story and the story was well written.

A Surprise Ending

This was an enjoyable read. It was a different kind of love story that had a surprise twist at the end.

A great book

Barbara Delinsky is one of my favorite authors and "Second Chance" is not only right up there among her best, but is almost impossible to put down and finish it later.

Quick read

Enjoying the quick read. Easy to handle the book while having to lay flat with a bad back! Like Barbara Delinsky waiting for her next book to be published.

Good read....

Barbara Delinsky is one of my favorite authors, so I always enjoy her stories.

I took the chance

She always & beautifully weaves an engrossing love story! I read, with pleasure, every book she writes and enjoy each.

This is one of the worst books I've ever read

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. I really can't believe this was written by a woman. How many times does the woman, Liz, have to say no?! The horrible male lead can't believe a woman doesn't want him and so he stalks, manipulates and ultimately blackmails her to do what he wants. And he justifies his actions because he's in love with her. When she reveals her secret to him, he blames his horrible behavior on her!!! He claims that he never would have done what he did if she had just told him her secret earlier. The "happy" ending does not come close to making up for his abusive treatment of Liz. Do not waste your time or money on this piece of garbage.

Publisher's Summary:

Book one in The Girls Most Likely to...

Ten years after being voted Most Likely to Succeed, Kelsey Moore is still living in her hometown, still working in her family's flower shop, and too embarrassed to attend her high school reunion. Only the chance to reconnect with her study buddy - and secret crush - Nathan Barrow tempts her to go.

Nathan isn't sure why he came back for the reunion after spending the past decade working abroad. But when he runs into his former lab partner, Kelsey, he's sure glad he did. The chemistry between them is as potent as ever, and when she offers him a weekend of wild, no-strings-attached sex, Nathan knows he'd be a fool to say no.

Nathan can't be tied to one place for long. But the more time they spend together - in and out of bed - the more Kelsey wonders if their reunion could become something more permanent. That is, if Nathan is still interested when he finds out she's been less than honest with him about her life since graduation....

#1 for Kate Davies

What a great novella by Kate Davies!!! After reading this book, I felt like I was back at my 10 year reunion. Kate does a great job of bringing to life both main characters. Once I started to read, I couldn't get enough of Kelsey & Nathan. They were just smoking up the pages. Make sure to read all there in this series! :)

awesome

After having been to my twenty five year reunion....can't believe it was that long! I could relate . Love everything that I have read that Kate has written. If you have not read any of her previous book you need to!!!!

Girl Most Likely to Succeed

In Girl Most Likely to Succeed by Kate Davies is a deliciously sexy novella that is sweet yet incredibly hot.

Kelsey Moore's life did not exactly take the path she wanted after high school graduation so she is not exactly thrilled about attending her ten year reunion. Especially when she learns her high school guy pal and secret crush Nathan Barrow is going to be there. But Kelsey's best friend and event coordinator Tess persuades her to attend and Nathan and Kelsey's first meeting proves to be quite revealing...

Kelsey and Nathan are wonderfully developed characters and the sexual chemistry between them is off the charts smoking hot. Voted Most Likely to succeed in high school, Kelsey had to give up her dream of going to college to help out her mother. Still working in the family flower shop ten years later, Kelsey is dealing with self-esteem issues stemming from her lack of higher education. Nathan has a successful career that is quite satisfying. While he loves his job, the extensive traveling and lack of a home base is beginning to wear on him.

Girl Most Likely to Succeed is a short read, but Kate Davies does an excellent job building a believable relationship between Kelsey and Nathan. Their sex scenes are varied, plentiful and exquisitely sensual. An overall delightful romance and wonderful beginning to the Girls Most Likely to... series.

I received a complimentary copy for review.

Sexy and Fun

4.5 Stars

Sometimes you read a book and you know immediately you've read the author before. That was the case with Most Likely To Succeed, by the end of the first chapter I knew I'd read this author and I knew that

I'd loved what I read but I couldn't remember any of the titles.

Great book.

Very good read

I enjoyed the story line and could understand the selflessness of the people in the book. No th trying to protect the father.

How a Cowboy Stole Her HEart

This a totally a awesome book. Great story of a couple who started out as friends and through the years developed into more. Don't pass this one up.

AWESOME

Another great book. I love all her books. As usual, New challenges to be met. Love her style. Very touching. Dawn

Love with struggles

Megan Briggs was away from the ranch for a year getting treatments for breast cancer. Now she is home and wants everybody to treat her normal but she has changed and people around her are aware of changes in what they feel for her.

Clay is best friends with Megan's brother and has the ranch next to theirs family ranch. Clay spoke harsh words to Megan about her running away last year. He came over to tell her sorry and see how she was doing.Clay has a hard time when dealing with cancer. He saw his dad die of lung cancer and his mom left them both when he got sick. His Aunt Stacy came and raised him.

Megan wants to help bring money to the ranch her idea is to build a indoor riding arena teach barrel racing and riding lessons. buy some more horses plus board up to 14 horses. The bank turned her down but Clay was willing to give or loan her the money.

Also Clay's Aunt Stacy is getting married she just got back with old boyfriend from high school. Clay asks Megan to be his date so all the women wont ask him to dance and he can have her back so people won't worry about her. But Clay realizes that that Megan is all grown up. She has had a crush on him for years and he had no idea.

It deals a lot with the breast cancer and how their are emotional and physcal parts even after the treatment is done.

I thought it dealt with the issues in a good way. That it is okay to be scared but to let people in to help too.

I liked the How a cowboy stole her heart and would read more of Donna's book in the future. I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review.

Publisher's Summary:

Book #4 in The Devil DeVere Series Library Journal Best E-book Romance 2012

In this fourth installment of the award-winning Devil DeVere series, Diana has come to London as her goddaughter's chaperone. Wanting to avoid her erstwhile lover at all costs, she nevertheless has no choice but to appeal to DeVere for help when Vesta mysteriously disappears. Although once nearly consumed by her passion for DeVere, four years has reduced the former inferno to bitterness and ashes.

Ludovic's time abroad has only served to deepen his debauchery. He's become jaded, world-weary, and bored. He also recognizes with self-annoyance that the marks of his discontent have only increased upon a certain person's arrival in London. When Diana makes her appearance in his den of iniquity in all of her glorious self-righteous fury, he suddenly feels alive again.

"Damn you to hell, DeVere!" she cried, jerking out of his hold. "Yes, I want you now, but I would despise myself for it the moment we finished." "Why?" he asked, confounded. "Why? Because I once confused passion for deeper feeling. I won't make that mistake again." "But don't you remember how it was between us? I can bring you rapture. You know that. What harm is there?" She scoffed, "Surely the same words the serpent whispered to Eve."

While DeVere is once more hell-bent to have Diana back in his bed, she will do whatever it takes to bring him to his knees.

Members Reviews:

A GEORGIAN ELEGANT DECADENT & TOUCHING LOVE STORY

This is the follow-on book to The Devil You Know about Diana and DeVere's tempestuous hot hot hot love affair - definately not a stand-alone listen.

In the first book I had every sympathy with DeVere as he was so painfully manipulated into the sad direction his life took. However, in the beginning of this second book, I didn't like the jaded, opium smoking, debauched rake he had become - that is until he meets Diana again and realises there's just no way of getting over her and we finally (and happily) see the ice around his heart slowly starts to melt.

The plot had lots of twists as the two embark in a battle of wits as the sexual fire they have for each other cannot be put out - but eventually Diana, who has learnt some new sexual massage tricks by an ex Harem woman, turns the tables on DeVere as she becomes the knowledgeable lover (....... or so she thinks). We learn that underneath all his bravado DeVere is just a hurt, misunderstood, passionate, damaged person who is so thoughtful and kind to the people he cares for and his heart is breaking for hers.

Worth a credit? A loveable cast of characters and clever writing makes this (and it's predecessor) an addictive listen that's short yes but it's filled with romantic, touching, passionate, hot hot hot hours and a worthy $10.46 listen (as so many of these short, often overlooked, stories are) but I wish VV had made these 2 books into 1 much longer listen.

WERE THERE NO !@#? EDITORS?????

This epilogue belongs to the next book since it gives away the entire story and goal of the story of the next book... or rather installment since it's sooooo short. If you don't intend to read the next then by all means finish this book.

Critic Reviews:

"Popular Harlequin/Silhouette romance author Karen Rose Smith adds a bit of a mystery to contemporary romance in Always Devoted, but she continues to delve into the hearts of her characters and includes her trademark heartwarming passages between an alpha man and a child." (Jane Bowers, Romance Reviews Today)

"The mystery of what happened to Paige is cleverly handled while the touch of the paranormal enhances the exciting story line. However, it is the changing relationship between the cynic, the mom, and the child who affirm that Ms. Smith is one of the best contemporary family drama authors." (Harriet Klausner, reviewer)

Series Connected Story

This novella accompanies a series, and as such doesn't stand alone as well as I would have liked. It's tough to balance story elements with character reveal and development in this limited format. If you are a series reader, the character pictures are probably complete, but I needed more. The story itself was well plotted and suspenseful. I just needed more back story and fill in to connect to the characters. Karen Rose Smith is a strong writer and her books are good and evenly paced as well as having strong settings and dialogue; this novella was no exception to that talent.

*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

Secrets

I got this book several months ago, and yes I just read it. It was a good story, I didn't find any errors in it. This is the third book I have read in the love series, "which I didn't realize." If you like romance and a little bit of mystery this is the book for you.

predictable and short

The story is nearly the same as the other book I read...the writer is using formula writing and it becomes predictable and a bit boring. Second, the book length on kindle looks long but the story ends at 60%, and instead of one book trailer, the other 40% is multiple book trailers trying to entice the reader to the writers other books...I'm done with this writer as I need one with more imagination and variety.

ENJOYABLE

Didn't want to put this book down. Ms.Smith is a very good writer and gives you suspense, sadness, joy and love all in one book. Good read!!!! Enjoy!!!

Alway Devoted by Karen Rose Smith

This was another winner by Karen Rose Smith. I enjoyed the story and the pace of the story. It was easy to get to know the characters and follow the story.
