Loved the Storyline-Hated the Narration

Revisado: 04-14-23

The narrator is the life -blood of a story. The narrator for this GOOD story drained all the life out of the story. I was not able to grasp how sexy the hero was because the narrator could not relay it. It was torture. I know this was a Contemporary African American Romance story with a side of suspense. Sadly, this story was told in one monotonous voice with no variation from male to female. I won’t even go into the characters sounding Black because it was non-existent. Narration is everything!

I loved everything about this story: the characters, the storyline, the HEA. It deserves to be longer, but I’ll take it like it is. Highly recommend!

Love it, Love it, Love it!

Drake and Lacey’s story is my favorite of the 3 Vachon siblings. Galen's spirit lives on! Those dark beauties are hard to resist. Memorable side characters and 2 bad actors with no redeeming qualities. The narration is excellent! I highly recommend it.

Love Those Outlaws!

Revisado: 04-22-21

I really liked this story . Ms. Jackson shows us once again why she is such a great storyteller. First, I am loving how the Outlaws and the Westmorelands have managed to come together in spite of Bart Outlaw, the patriarch of the Outlaw family. Second, I love the romantic element that evolves between the Outlaw men and the women who are destined to be their soul mates. In this book, Brianna Banks is that woman. For me the highlight of the story was the gathering of some of the Westmorelands at the ranch that Cash inherited from his deceased mother. I won't spill the tea as to what brought Bane, Zane, Derringer, and Durango, to name a few , to the ranch. it was a cool scene that contributed to the overall storyline. Kudos to Ms. Jackson for that connection.

I recommend The Marriage He Demands for your reading pleasure. It is an engaging story that offers a little more insight into the Outlaw family. Enjoy!

This story is EVERYTHING! Brilliantly written and brilliantly performed. The McClain Clan Lives On! Thank you And Kudos to the creative and prolific Alexandria House for this story that ranks #2 behind the first McClain story featuring Everett “Big South” McClain.

The Narrator Has To Go

Revisado: 01-24-19

This Westmoreland story is a solid story. I read it. However, the audible version is horrible because the narrator is horrible.i don’t know how Laurence Bouvard got this assignment, but his accent is all wrong for this story. It’s a deal-breaker; not a good listen at all.

Loved the storyline. The Johnson family is one of the top contemporary Romance families. Michael Pauley is an impressive narrator.

My Intro to Brenda Jackson

Revisado: 05-04-16

Would you listen to Irresistible Forces again? Why?

I listen to this audiobook all the time, but it's not because of the narration by Montana Chase, which is mediocre at best. Ugh...that fake French accent. I listen to it because I Love the story! Irresistible Forces was my introduction to the Wonderful World of Brenda Jackson.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Dominic Saxon, the hero. He was/is my first book boo. Love everything about his character.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Montana Chase?

Nah, I'll pass on Montana's narration, especially if she has to do a foreign accent.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the moment when Taylor and Dominic were getting ready to leave the island, and neither of them was in a big hurry. Their "baby making" tryst had developed into something more than just that, and It was very apparent at that moment that their relationship had changed.

Any additional comments?

Definitely my No. 1 story written by Brenda Jackson.

Historicals Are Enjoyable

Revisado: 08-04-14

Would you listen to Vivid again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to Vivid again because I am a fan of Beverly Jenkins' African American Historical novels. Strong women and even stronger men who lived during very perilous times for Blacks , and made a difference in their own way for the Race is the central theme of her novels. The historical facts interwoven with the romantic fiction is the reason I read this genre. I learn and I enjoy the story at the same time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Vivid?

Nate & Vivid's Romantic episodes.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance was ok. However my personal preference would have called for 2 narrators, one male and one female. I didn't dislike the narrator's performance, but I think the characterization could have been enhanced if a male narrator could have performed the male dialogue.

If you could rename Vivid, what would you call it?

I wouldn't rename it.
