Not a game changer

Revisado: 03-03-20

A little repetitive, the characters were pretty flat and immature. All in all, reads like a teenage girl's fantasy of adulthood.

Teddy Hamilton and Callie Dalton kept me in it through all the eye rolling.

Proceed with caution

Revisado: 06-13-19

This was not at all what I expected from a Harlequin book in the Romance Package. Intense and graphic scenes of human trafficking and all the brutality that entails.

It's a reasonably well done story and Therese Plummer is one of the best narrators around but I would not go down this road again.

Solid 3

Revisado: 05-28-19

I'd rate Teddy Hamilton independently if I could. He's great. Tanya Eby was only so-so.

Sarina Bowen is so awesome that story and character-wise, I was really hoping for more. Still, it was passable and not cringe inducing.

Oh! A+ though for the sex-positive female lead.

Therese Plummer couldn't even save this.

Revisado: 01-04-19

I struggled with the overtly Christian characters, as that's not what I'm typically looking for in my romance novels. But what really got me were some key scenes that made the two leads appear so stupid even my curiosity about the plot couldn't keep me going.

Therese Plummer is a dream narrator though.

Unlikeable characters

Revisado: 09-14-18

Not much plot here and I didn't really like either of the leads. It's definitely the weakest of the Cold Fury series to this point.

Also, I didn't care for the Graham Halstead's voice. He's a competent narrator but didn't do the characters any favors.

Funny, cute

Revisado: 08-06-18

I would absolutely check out more of both this author and narrator. I loved the humor, the weird female lead. I didn't feel like we got to know McHotPants very well but the story is told from Janie's POV so that can be a limitation.

Good story, mediocre writing and narration

Revisado: 08-03-18

Complicated is the story of two divorcees in a small town finding their way to a happily ever after. There are a lot of really great dynamics in the book. The characters are well-developed and seem to stay true to themselves.

That being said, I have a love-hate relationship with Kristen Ashley's books because while they always deliver a good story, it seems each one has some kind of "verbal tic" or whatever the written equivalent of that is -- one or two phrases or particular sentence structures that are overly wordy and/or awkward. That can make them difficult to listen to, especially with weak narrators such as Lance Greenfield. His voice is pleasant and he's not horrible at female voices but it really feels like he reads each sentence as a distinct statement. It is hard to get into the rhythm of the story.

It was also a little strange that the book bounced between first and third person narration.

If you are not a person who is picky about audiobook performances or writing style, I would definitely recommend this book. Otherwise, maybe pick up a print version.

Not enough plot.

Revisado: 07-24-18

I loved the first book of this series and I'm a fan of BDSM romances but this one really missed the mark for me big time by focusing too heavily on the mechanics of training a sub and going way too light on the romance and intimacy.

Meh

Revisado: 06-21-18

There were some things I may have not noticed if the female narrator wasn't so bad ay men's voices. The writing wasn't good enough to overcome that and it left me feeling like I couldn't get a read on Cooper at all, even though York did a great job for his part (as always).
