Magic Bites and its never felt so good

Revisado: 06-25-15

Where does Magic Bites rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty far up on the list

Who was your favorite character and why?

Im partial to Kate and Derek.

What about Renée Raudman’s performance did you like?

She nails the accents

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yup

Any additional comments?

I will say that the only negative thing about this performance was the pace. At times it felt like the narrator snailed her way through the chapter. She spoke SO slowly and it drove me mad.
However, the story it self is brilliant! :)

Business and Pleasure - Nothing Personal

Revisado: 06-08-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Def. yes. Because its a good story and worth a listen.Any Rosalind James story is...

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Her voice takes some getting used to as it becomes monotone-like after a while and the 'male' voices sounds alike-not much difference there so it got a bit confusing as to who was actually talking at certain points.

I would advice the narrator to work more on the male voices and try to spice up the tempo a bit, so the story doesn't become monotone-like in the future.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, sadly I had to split it up this time. I usually listen to a story in one sitting most of the time, but life got in the way this time.

Any additional comments?

Nothing Personal is a lovely story as any of RJ's stories are....and I loved the fact that the female wasn't a pushover and came out a strong and complex character. I loved Ray - made me smile a lot. :)

Alex as a male lead character worked well as a sexy, yummy and handsome lead but I think Desiree stole the show in this Audiobook with her wit and humor in her quest to resist Alex.

Rosalind's story here is quite different from what Im 'used' to reading from her. She's written a story involving about corporate espionage. It gets a bit too technical at times but there are twists and turns that keep it interesting. She does a great job of looking at the business side of life and she hit the nail on the head with the work groups, HR lingo and setting up a new venture-something I've worked quite a bit with myself so Im familiar with that language.

I liked the story....but voiceover needs quite a bit of work as the males voices were hard to differentiate and the tempo of speak became very monotone-like. I kinda zoned out every now and then which didn't happen when I read the story.

But all in all, a good story that just needs a bit of work with the narration.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

Just for ME!!!

Revisado: 04-21-15

Where does Just for You (Escape to New Zealand) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

High up on the list! I love Claire Bocking's work! So talented!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Just for You (Escape to New Zealand)?

The rescue scene in the sea

Which character – as performed by Claire Bocking – was your favorite?

In the series? Hannah and Jenna are usually my favorites....but in this book I gotta say Reka grew on me... of the characters in here Reka is my favorite, of course....She has that whole Strong woman who will kick your ass if you dont behave, but will kiss it better afterwards if you ask nicely as well ;)

Any additional comments?

I love R.J's books, they always capture my attention. Especially her 'Escape to New Zealand' series...'Just For You' takes place before the first book in the series and we hear how two important characters in the series meet...and more importantly, we hear how Hemi has to actually work for Reka's attention. Love it!

My only issue with this story is that I wish the book was longer and a bit more detaled. Other than that, loved it!

Claire Bocking does an amazing job as always and Im in awe of her talent with changing accents. A multitalented woman! Plus, that Kiwi accent is to nail if you ain't a local. All in all, a brilliant book and worth every dime.

Another amazing Audiobook Just for Me! :D

Another amazing escape to the lovely New Zealand

Revisado: 04-05-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I already have! I love Rosalind James' books but Claire B.'s performance is what keeps me returning for another audio book. Why not share it with friends? 😊

What did you like best about this story?

The Kiwi accent that the narrator flawlessly speaks in is def. up there, but I especially love the interaction between Hugh and his siblings. You can feel the awkwardness, the love and confusion between the three while they're trying to find a foothold with each other.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Will, Hugh and Koti are shooting the scene for J.'s show and afterwards when J is showing Hugh her evil character's dirty secrets (in the lingerie drawer)....naughty girl! 😜

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to it in one sitting. 😊

Any additional comments?

I love R.J's Escape to New Zealand series so keep the books coming! But for God's sake....keep Claire on for the audio books! She's brilliant!

Hot as Hell !

Revisado: 03-28-13

Where does Twice Tempted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very High!

What did you like best about this story?

The chemistry between Vlad and Leila is sizzling hot and you just become captured by it!

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

Tavia is one of my favorite readers...She gives it her all in every Jeaniene Frost Book and her performance in this book was no less spectacular. Cant wait for her performance in the last Leila and Vlad book.

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

When Vlad confessed his love for Leila (FINALLY!) I had tears streaming down my cheeks....such a stubborn man!

When Leila finally embraced her inner dark Goddess and let loose with her power....talk about Girl Power!

Any additional comments?

Vlad always had my attention in the Bones and Cat series. He was the helpful and comical sidekick so to speak, but he was just sooo intriguing a character I couldnt wait for him to have his own book. 'Once burned' I liked SO much.... Twice Tempted I LOVE!

I've been waiting for this book for a looong time and I now I have to wait for the last part for the trilogy in order for me to have closure. Im so invested in this story and with Tavia's voice, I've been known to snap at anyone who actually dares to disturb me during Vlad and Leila's adventures....

How dare they?! Cant they see Im in the middle of emotional trauma from Frost's amazing fantasy?!

Hmpf!

As much as I love Bones and Cat, I feel connected to Leila in a different way. Perhaps because she's semi-human and has been through tough times (which makes her even more human and relatable), I can actually see myself as Leila....and who wouldn't want a man as Flaming HOT as Vlad? With all of his alpha male genes, passion and humor, he makes a pretty ideal knight in shining armor....or should I say....A flaming dragon in the sky? ;D
