The Romance Comes to Life in the Audiobook

Revisado: 01-25-15

Would you consider the audio edition of The Key (The True Reign Series) to be better than the print version?

I think the novel is written very well, but the audio brings it to life and gives it dimension, allowing listeners to get sucked into Rema and Darmik's love as the story unravels. The audio version provides nuances to the story, to Rema's struggles, to Darmik's pain in losing his love to his conniving brother... it's all deeply engrossing with Michelle Michaels as the entertaining narrator.

What does Michelle Michaels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Michelle Michaels' voice has a lilting and entrancing quality to it that captivated me and made this story all the more enjoyable. With a great narrator a well-written story can come to life and she certainly did that with "The Key".

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Behind every great love story is a story of hardship, struggle, romance and finding your way back to each other.

Any additional comments?

Jennifer Anne Davis is a talent author who has crafted an engaging novel that readers can sink their teeth into and get a little vicarious romance from. The writing is lush, vivid, romantic, drama-rich and deeply engrossing. Overall, this was a great story whether in audiobook or novel format.

Intensely Gripping with an Engaging Mystery

Revisado: 05-20-14

What made the experience of listening to Cipher the most enjoyable?

"Cipher" is one of those novels that manages to very quickly hook you with a vivid and intensely gripping story... only to turn it on its head and then take you on a wildly action-packed ride as Detective Jonathan Grace finds himself on the hunt for the mysterious cipher, a program that could very well be a massive tool of destruction in the wrong hands. The novel is well-written with a lush writing style and an engaging plot; using authentic characters and strong dialogue, the author propels the plot along with amazing skill.

What does Smokey Rivers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

What I liked about the audiobook and the narration is that it adds a new element to the story, helping to bring dimension, emotion and nuances to the novel that I might have missed if I just read the book. The narrator has a gift for sucking the audience in and keeping you eagerly listening from start to finish.

Thoughtful, Insightful & Inspiring

Revisado: 04-02-14

What made the experience of listening to Survive, Live, or Thrive? the most enjoyable?

What I liked about this book was that it has a lot of heart, a great deal of passion and specific purpose of empowering women to take charge of their life and achieve a state of success, happiness and a sense of purpose. The author manages to capture the spirit of determination and the will to thrive in life with vivid imagery, simple yet complex concepts and thought-provoking insights into all areas of life. From relationships (both familial and romantic) to achieving a career that you have always dreamed of, this is the type of book that inspires you to reach farther, think bigger and always strive to be the best you can be.

L. Lynn Gilliard has a certain way of writing (and conveying that into the narrative) that is warm and inviting, welcoming you into the book and inviting you to explore the concept of thriving instead of just surviving or living. The audiobook is well-written and skillfully narrated, using a straightforward and down-to-earth style that is easy to understand and easy to apply to your own life. It's insightful and thoughtful, delving into the mysteries of life and just how to take hold of it... getting out of that rut you've found yourself in and truly living a life of passion, success and happiness.

Overall, this was well worth my time and provided me with a wealth of insights into my life that have helped me to truly center my thoughts, actions and hopes for the present and the future. I would certainly recommend it to others looking to truly thrive in life with a dose of hometruth from L. Lynn Gilliard.
