Publisher's Summary:

Alana Hawthorne is asleep. And she's having what can only be described as the Best Dream Ever. There's a deliciously hot guy, some pretty incredible moves and a conclusion that makes her toes curl. Mmm...yes. But the next morning Alana is shocked to find her fantasy man - for real - sprawled naked beside her in bed.

It only gets worse. The excellently hot Sawyer Kern is her sister's brand-new boyfriend. The very same guy Alana came by to check on - because Melanie can be just so impulsive. Only now, Alana's really worried. Because gorgeous Sawyer seems to be looking for a repeat performance....

Members Reviews:

Sensual and Well Written

Alana, after a call from her sister about the new man in her life, decides to drop by the family home before she moves to Florida to look after her grandparents. Her sister has rotten tastes in men at the best of times, and Alana is determined that she's not going to leave for Florida with another bad choice living in their old home. Only her sister isn't there when she arrives and she ends up crawling into bed in her own room, which has been stripped of everything that marked it as hers.

During the night she dreams of a man who orally pleasures her, a dream so vivid that she orgasms, something she's never done before from a dream. Except when she wakes up the dream lover is lying in bed next to her. Even worse he turns out to be Sawyer, the very man her sister claims she's going out with.

Things go from bad to worse until Melanie admits that she isn't going out with Sawyer, she just was hoping to fall for him. Which leaves Alana with a dilemma. Does she explore her growing feelings and already deep attraction for Sawyer, or does she get out of dodge and head for Florida.

A lovely romance, and a nice twist with the sister not in love but hoping to fall in love with the same man. The side story with Melanie is nicely written, and adds to the story rather than detracting from it. The narrator did a good job, her performance was smooth and enjoyable, and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Sharpe.

Just Okay

This book has been on the bottom of my list for a long time, still unfinished. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. I think the problem is, it started out hot and heavy, then got all cold. The characters start out in bed, but don't get back to it for a very long time. Instead they bicker and make all kinds of stupid false assumptions. I know that is a common plot builder in romance novels, but it doesn't cut it for me. There just wasn't that much action to hold my attention.

BOO

I love that this was done from the ghost's view-point. The story was well done, and kept you going. Not sorry I bought this one. The narration was good also.

Narrator has a rough voice

Distracted by the narrator who was good but had a lack of oxygen and wiezed throughout. The book was silly and not really about the ghost at all.

Borrring.....ZZZZZZZZZ

Never listened to part 2 due to narrator's deadpan voice. Shame on me for not listening to clip before purchase.

No Real Significant Story Line

I always say that there is truth in fiction and enjoy most of the books I've listened to on Audible because they always leave me with a good thought of learning. I cannot say the same thing with this book. It was not entertaining and lacked a good story line.

As always, Ezra Knight and Caroline Clay did a great job narrating.

A LOVE STORY

Where does After the Dance rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Publisher's Summary:

When Desdemona Wainwright tries to collect a much-needed payment for catering Sam Stark's canceled wedding reception, she encounters not a heartbroken suitor, but the steel-willed head of a multimillion-dollar consulting firm with the cold brain of a computer - and the finely hewn body of a medieval knight. Sam sees a beautiful, theatrical hoyden with huge turquoise eyes who has just the right professional catering skills he needs for his business. Opposites attract, and before long, he's sure he's found the perfect business wife; but Desdemona intends to break down the walls around his heart.

When someone tries to steal his top-secret computer program, Sam's suspicions center on the people Desdemona holds most dear. As sinister intrigues swirl around them all, this unlikely pair discover that their love and even their lives may depend on emotions and bonds that can't be measured - like unstoppable passion and unbreakable trust.

Filled with fabulous fun, tingling suspense, and a wonderful new love story, Trust Me is great entertainment.

Members Reviews:

Great

I love this particular story because I like the characters in the story line is she did I would have probably wanted to be a little bit more longer to develop that's Mona and starts relationship a little bit more but overall it was a great story and I would recommend this rate to anyone

I should have gotten the full book instead

this abridged version did get the storyline across but when I compare it to the many other abridged audiobooks I've heard it was disjointed and a bit bland. the narrator's voice was clear and did not irritate me but didn't make the story more intresting either. that said the full story seems more promising since I generally like Krentz's books and Richard Ferrone will be narrator.

Members Reviews:

Magnificent Obsession is an old memory of my youth

Lloyd C. Douglas wrote many inspirational stories some years ago and I remembered being particularly touched by his story of a young surgeon who discovers a way to make his life meaningful.in my youth. I purchased this book to reconnect with the story and to remember his method of making a difference. While I don't personally agree with the sentiments I found the idea interesting and challenging. The writing is in that inspirational genre and is sentimental rather than probing and analytical, however I felt that I was more than capable of reading the book for the idea rather than the sentiment and as such I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the idealised look at a past generation.

Great message and unique characters make for a great plot

Original writing of the time by the author (1929) is difficult to understand, but worth reading. The first two chapters are complex, but do not give up! Magnificent Obsession is intricate and interesting with a divinely woven plot - never letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing!

Great message and unique characters make for a great plot.

Not my cup of tea

I really didn't enjoy this book, I found the writing style quite cryptic and therefore spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the author was talking about or, who the author was talking about, no not my cup of tea... sorry Lloyd C Douglas fans.

Lloyd C Douglas

Always enjoy the journey in his novels. An excellent story, and love learning words that unfortunately we don't use any more.

All time wisdom

This book could be life-changing if read with the right attitude.

The question remains: "which page in the Bible was the author referring to..."

I recommend the book to anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of others.

Forget Me Not Christmas

Any additional comments?

This is a short and sweet story. Jorie returns to her hometown where she believes her x betrayed her, only to find out he feels the same. Now they must uncover who betrayed them and learn to deal with things as adults.

Short and Sweet!

This book was great, especially since it's the holiday season! I really enjoyed it! It was about 1 hour 45min long, which I felt was perfect because I was able to finish in it one sitting. The writing was great...I will definitely be reading many more books from Natalie-Nicole Bates! I felt like I got to know the main character well and her situation was easily relatable.

The narration was also fantastic! The last couple books from other authors and narrators that I listened to didn't really do it for me. This was due to poor narration. Definitely not the case here! The speed of the story, the way she spoke, and the tone of her voice made me feel like she was a perfect fit! I have a very good 1st impression of Bailey Varness and would love to see what else she has narrated. :-)

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a story about ex-lovers who find each other again during Christmastime. Loved it...thank you!!

Members Reviews:

loved it,

I really enjoyed this book though sometimes found the accents annoying. soon got so lost in the story I didn't notice them. Got me through a couple of long drives

Two stories in one

Loved this book. Very hard to put down. At first you wanted to know what had happened to her family and then when you did find out there was still 17 more chapters to go, so then you wanted to find out if justice was going to be done. Lots of twists and turns, sometimes a little unbelievable perfect family life, but a well thought out story.

Exciting listen!

To start with, I got a little confused with who was who, but once the story unraveled, I couldn't stop listening to it, I really enjoyed this story, one of my favourite Susan Lewis books!

Heart wrenching story

Very sad at times but the ending was heart warming. The only grumble is that it seemed very short.

I've loved all of Susan Lewis' books so far

What a super book!

I am sorry I have finished this book. Could not stop listening to it,many a household chore got left. Quite complicated at first till you the idea of the two time frames,but soon used to it.

Excellent narration, good accents throughout. One of Susan Lewis's best stories.

short and sweet.

Do you have any additional comments?

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.

**audio review**

I've only READ one of Lia Davis books, and it was a short and swett little vampire novella. This is another short and sweet book, 68 pages, prob about an hour reading time, but I'm reviewing the audio version which is just under 2 hours.

Aimee has been recovering from an abusive marriage, ex is in jail and she is fianlly finding herself again. Her boss, Kenton, invites her on a business dinner, now that he is free to persue Aimee as he has wished to for 5 years. But Aimee's ex gets parolled and returns to finish what he started all those years ago.

Deliciously short, but it packs a punch, quite literally. I cringed at some points, physically feeling what happened to Aimee at points, but equally cheered when it was needed. You get all of Aimme's feelings and Kenton's too, told in the third person. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I've not listened to many female narrators, I have a hearing issue that is specific to speech tones, so a male voice is easier for me to hear. HOWEVER, Naomi Hoffman narrates this tale beautifully. She is clear and concise in her words, but still, the feel of the book comes across with every word. Her character's voices are different and easily distinguishable from each other.

I will certainly be looking out for more books written by Lia and narrated by Naomi.

4 stars for the book and 4 for the narration.

**same worded review appears on Audible.co.uk, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and Goodreads**

Monkey business is so hot.

Would you consider the audio edition of Business Pleasures to be better than the print version?

Yes, it was so cool to hear the different voices of the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sorry, I loved them all. Don't make me chose.

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful story, did not want to stop listening to go to work. The story is hot and takes you with the characters thru the rollercoaster ride to the end.

It was short...a plus...

Just okay. The narrator did a decent job, but everyone under the sun telling Aimee that they "just knew" she and HER BOSS would make a fantastic couple (she'd worked for him for 5 years, and he had just gotten out of a semi-serious relationship that day) was a bit over the top. I suppose it doesn't really qualify as insta-love, since they did know each other 5 years by that point, but it still felt like it.

The ex-husband plotline was a bit problematic, but okay--a lawyer asking another lawyer if Aimee'd get off for killing the ex, though? Red flags all over the place.

Definitely not my favorite by this author.

When Rain is going through her own personal hell, will Colton finally be able to make her see how he feels and convince her to take a chance on love?

Members Reviews:

A refreshing take on the typical rockstar romance!

Blessed Tragedy is heart-warming, heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, emotional, sexy and addicting. Its a great story about love and about coming to terms with who you really are.The main character was a rocker but not your typical tattooed, lie record bad boy but a tattooed, pierced bad girl. Rain aka Maddie.Maddie ran away from home years ago to pursue a music career that no one in her family approved of. Years later, her and her band mates are famous rock stars living the life until Rain has to return home to attend her mothers funeral.I was immediately pulled into the story of Maddie/Rain and her relationships with Colton, her band and her family.

If your looking for angst, love, passion, friendship, and forgiveness then Blessed Tragedy is the book for you.

Not Your Typical Rockstar

I enjoyed the story with a unique heroine and a whole different take on rockstar romance. However, there were editing issues with narration, particularly big pauses/gaps in between the chapters.

The story is great....

Any additional comments?

The story was great, but the editing of the audio book was horrible, There were multiple spots that were repeated. There were also large pauses/gaps in between the chapters. Kind of disappointing.
