Steam Heat & Well-Plotted Mystery Too!

Revisado: 05-18-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Hang onto your hat because tough but sensitive Roman Cantrell and Nikki Holden who never wants to show HER sensitive side are back in a ripped from the headlines story—the tabloid headlines that is!

Janina Edwards who narrated the first book in this series is back to breathe life into Dark Corners. She is a superb voice actor who makes these characters come alive in this steamy mystery. You should probably have a fire extinguisher on hand because this story is hot, and the narrator's voice makes you feel as if you're eavesdropping from a dark corner!

Nikki is tracking down a UFO story, not her usual beat, while Roman is working to clear a friend's name. From space aliens to stolen arms, the dynamic duo find a way to make their hot romance even hotter. The author creates a compelling whodunnit that will have you guessing to the end.

If you're looking for a new book boyfriend, look no further than Roman Cantrell! I can hardly wait for the next book in this stellar series.

Compelling Characters Brought to Life

Revisado: 02-09-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Elaine Raco Chase's skill and talent are on display in Dangerous Places. To me, an audio book should breathe life into a book's characters, and voice actor Janina Edwards does exactly that. Smart, sassy Nikki Holden comes alive as do the other characters populating this sexy romantic mystery. Ms. Edwards does justice to the author's sparkling dialogue and clever plot and makes me eager for the second audio book in this series!

One of the Best Jack Reacher Novels

Revisado: 03-25-14

Bad Luck and Trouble opens with a horrific action sequence. Let's just say that Child has a way of dropping a bomb in the opening pages.

Reacher is contacted by Frances Nagley, a woman from his old unit. She's tracked him down in a unique way. Fans of arithmetic puzzles will liked this. Nagley tells him of what's happening to the men in their old unit. She and Reacher try to reunite with the rest of his old team, but they're almost too late.

Reacher's unit had the motto: "You don't mess with the unit." The people who have targeted Reacher and his team learn this truth a little too late.

Nonstop action. Larger than life characters whose camaraderie seems genuine. Despicable bad guys. Intricate plot. Edge of the seat suspense. If those characteristics appeal to you, grab Bad Luck and Trouble asap!

My Favorite SEP Book

Revisado: 08-14-13

Without a doubt, Ain't She Sweet is my favorite Susan Elizabeth Phillips novel. I bought it in print when it first came out then bought it for my Kindle, Now I've bought it for my iPod.

I just sent an Audible gift of this book to my daughter who now has quite a commute each morning since she bought a house some distance from the school where she teaches. I'm introducing her to audio books this way.

I'm not only southern, I also write southern humor so I have a special fondness for books about small southern towns -- the characters, the mores, and the delightful southern colloquialisms.

This book is like sitting on a porch with a bunch of women on a hot Sunday afternoon, sipping ice tea, and letting the conversation swirl around me.

Narrator Kate Flemming portrays the women of the small Mississippi town perfectly. She's got the right amount of drawl and brings Sugar Beth and the other women to life.

It's a good thing digital recordings don't wear out because I've listened to this one so many times that were it CD, it would be worn thin.

Great book. Great performance. Perfect entertainment.

Insider Story of Delta Force

Revisado: 07-19-13

We started moving my office to our weekend home where I'll be hanging my hat temporarily until our townhome is available. Listened to Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney and narrated by Robertson Dean who has a great voice -- a manly man voice which is perfect for this story of Delta Force.

This is a compelling personal history from Haney who was among the first selected for Delta Force. Years ago I saw this book listed in the credits of the TV series The Unit starring Dennis Haysbert. I bought the book and read it in print, passed it on to hubby and our kids. When I saw the audio book, I knew we would all enjoy it -- and we did.

Highly recommended. Don't miss it.

Best of Koontz

Revisado: 05-10-13

Lightning is one of my favorite books so I was glad to purchase the audiobook and anxious to see if it did justice to this perfect example of speculative fiction. I'm happy to say that Christopher Lane does an excellent job in breathing life into Koontz's words.

I've always been surprised that Spielberg hasn't made a motion picture of Lightning. The story is the perfect blend of the puzzle of a mystery, the relationship of a romance, and the science fiction aspect of a changed future that might occur if the geniuses and the mad men of the world succeed.

Learn How To Prioritize

Revisado: 03-13-13

Brian Tracy is an author and speaker with many motivational books to his credit. If you have a problem with procrastination, get this book!

Just listening to it makes you want to dive in and get your life organized, clearing out the clutter and the old bad habits by which you operate.

Excellent book with great advice that is actually very easy to implement.

Sadistic Villain

Revisado: 02-19-13

Tripwire, Book 3 of the Jack Reacher thrillers, abounds in emotional threat and creates a nervous anxiety as the momentum of the story builds. You just know terrible things are going to happen to the villain's latest targets. I won't say any more because I don't want to toss out a spoiler. If you read or listen to Tripwire, you'll understand what I mean.

Suffice it to say that much of the book is an exercise in emotional sadism as well as physical acts of violence that have you constantly on the edge of your seat, waiting for more to happen to the hapless victims of the sadistic villain.

On a side note, this book was published a few years before 9/11 which brought massive changes to the NY landscape. Some of the science paradigms have changed so don't think the author did a sloppy job in research. What he describes as SOP was the way it was back in the mid 1990's. Science has evolved and so has SOP of dealing with body remains.

The consummate professional Jonathan McClain voices Reacher again and does a superb job with this story which gives more insight into Reacher's background, making you feel as if you know him better by the end of Tripwire.

All in all, another taut suspenseful thriller from Lee Child, a master of the genre, and a superb acting job by narrator Jonathan McClain.

Heartwarming Sweet Romance

Revisado: 02-02-13

Excellent story; lovely narration!

Donna Fasano is great at creating characters that seem real -- with the mixture of strengths and weaknesses that real people have. Best of all, she's at the top of the game in writing a sweet romance filled with emotion and characters who end up yearning for each other -- like Chelsea and Ben in this story. For comic relief, there's Ben's Aunt May.

Narrator Mary Lynn Bowen is skillful and brings this romance to life. She superb in voicing the different characters, but in Chelsea's voice, she really shines.

HIS WIFE FOR A WHILE has depth. You'll root for Chelsea. She learns, with the help of others, to overcome the tragedy of her own past, and that is what really helps her to embrace her future. She earns her happy ending.

Wow! Fasten Your Seat Belts!

Revisado: 02-02-13

This was the first audiobook of a Jack Reacher novel that my darling hubs and I heard. We'd read several of the Lee Child novels so we figured the audiobook would be good entertainment.

If you like your entertainment suspenseful, taut, gritty, and with a strong mystery too, this book is for you.

Dick Hill did an amazing job as narrator. He brought this book to life and made it feel as if we were listening to an action movie with all the elements guys love: blazing guns, strong hero, evil bad guys, and a high body count! (Ah, the things I do for my hubby -- like listening to Stephen Hunter and Lee Child novels. *g*)

Seriously, if you're looking for hero material, check out Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. You won't be disappointed.
