Duplicate - Rumors & Disclosures

Do you have any additional comments?

If you've listened to Rumors & Disclosures, these are the same stories with different titles and covers. Rumors is Thorne (book 1) and Disclosures is Slade (book 3). Matt is the only new book on Audible.

Chekov's Gun

I love Todd Haberkorn with a passion. His narrations are always fun and entertaining. He was better than the book's material.

The book isn't bad, it's okay. There aren't really any big plot twists, you can figure out where the story is going, and as a book that's more than ten years old, it's somewhat dated, but I still wanted Thorne and Nicole to get together.

However....know that going in, you're up against these:

First, please don't have sex outside, in the winter, in Wyoming or Montana or wherever they were unless you want to catch hypothermia.

Second, and this is BIG (and where Chekov's Gun comes into play), if you're going to have unprotected sex in the first act, you better have either a baby or an STD in the second. There were zero consequences of unprotected sex.

Third, while there's an HEA for the main characters, the whole reason Thorne came home - his sister's car accident - isn't resolved. I'm not sure I want to continue through two more books just to get to her story, even with Todd narrating.

Never received the audible story

Paid for the Audible part of the book to go along with the book and Didn't received audible part!!!

Bad story and worse narration..

Jeez, did they have to keep talking out loud to themselves, so someone could huh? or what did you say? Too many inner thoughts are bad enough but when theyre saying them out loud its just silly. And going on a horseback ride date when its freezing outside in a SKIRT? Give me a break, and then five minutes later Thorne has Nicole STILL outside UNDRESSED and ready to have sex, didn't say anything about a blanket at any time so I'm assuming he just put her down on the cold dirty ground and went at it, AND he was still completely dressed. Wow, that is just too stupid. If youre going to write a scene like that it should have been in the summer, not in blowing freezing weather. This book needs to be rewritten so it makes sense.

Sorry, but this is a DNF for me at 62%. It could have been a good story but the author didnt even bother to think of what she was doing. I wonder if she ever went out in the kind of weather she wrote about and got undressed and thought about having sex, or did she see how fast she could get dressed again. Its ignorant for ANY author to write an outdoor sex scene when its freezing out.

As to the narrator: He kind of suck! No emotion, hardly any change when he did a womans voice. AND, believe it or not, his mens voices sounded feminine sometimes. I cant figure that out.
