Nice Romantic Suspense

Revisado: 04-24-14

Any additional comments?

I read this book a while ago, and decided to give the audio a try. Since then, I've listened to two other I-Team books. This one so far is my favorite, in that it is a bit different from the other two, but not by much.They are very formulaic, and only the character's names seem to change. The heroine's life is threatened because of a story she's following, she goes off into hiding/protective custody with hero to protect her, they repeatedly have sex during this time without any commitment (only physical attraction), heroine's life is in mortal danger from the bad guy, hero comes to save the day. Hero has major commitment issues for various reasons, and doesn't admit his love for the heroine until the end, keeps pushing her away even after she tells him she loves him, yet she continues to have sex with him. Oh, and there's always the "am I pregnant?" question hanging in the air.

Lots of strong language, and many graphic sex scenes. A huge turn-off for me is when the F word is used between a couple when they are supposed to have feelings for each other. It just sort of demeans the act. Call me old-fashioned (but not old)

What I like about Ms Clare's books is that she obviously puts in a lot of time researching her subject material, and that makes the stories interesting to me. What I don't like so much is that there is way too much character introspection, which overlaps with the narration. The books could be a lot shorter without all the repetition.

Kaleo Griffith did an excellent job bringing these characters to life, giving each a distinct voice.

Fun Contemporary Cowboy Romance

Revisado: 04-09-14

Any additional comments?

This was a fun contemporary cowboy romance, brought to life with a great narration from Kaleo Griffith who brought out the humor in the story. The dialogue was fun and witty, with a few laugh out loud moments (making my coworkers question my sanity while I was listening at work). The author did a great job with putting the characters in funny and awkward situations. Dalton was all cowboy, while Caitlin was a bit dingy at times, but I loved all her funny comebacks and silly situations she got herself into, and she wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for Dalton's brother, Brandon.

Fun western romance!

Revisado: 03-26-14

What made the experience of listening to Marshal in Petticoats the most enjoyable?

The narrator has a very engaging voice, and really brings the characters and the story to life. She injects just the right amount of humor and sarcasm into her narration that made me smile and laugh at times.

What did you like best about this story?

This was a fun, fast-paced western romance. The characters are well fleshed out and their dialogue true to the era and genre. It was fun to hear a story about an unlikely woman marshall and her escapades, and the man who aids her, and the sometimes funny situations they get tangled up in to figure out the bad guy's motives. Along the way, of course, they fall in love.

Have you listened to any of Holly Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first time listening to Holly Adams. I thought she did an excellent job with the heroine's voice, as well as most of the male voices. My one objection was her portrayal of the hero. The voice she used for him just didn't quite work for me - seemed like he was constantly talking in a low whisper. However, I tried to ignore that, and simply sit back and enjoyed the story. The rest of her narration was fun to listen to.

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

I listen to audiobooks at work, so I can't listen to one in a single sitting, but I sure would have listened to this book all the way through. There are some audiobooks I have to stop and come back to for various reasons. This one wasn't one of those.

Any additional comments?

Overall, this was a great story, great writing that was true to the era, and really engaging narration. There are some very hot and steamy sex scenes in this book, which developed naturally during the hero and heroine's relationship. There was one particular sex scene I felt could have been left out, but again, nothing that I would knock the overall story for.
I hope there are more audiobooks forthcoming in this series.

Excellent Western Historical Romance!

Revisado: 02-24-14

Where does Terms of Surrender rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'm fairly new to audiobooks, but have found that listening to a book is a great way to conquer my mountainous TBR pile that never seems to get smaller.

What did you like best about this story?

The author did a superb job of capturing the flavor of the era. The story was historically accurate, gritty, romantic, and full of suspense.

Which character – as performed by Keith Tracton – was your favorite?

I think Keith did an outstanding job with all the characters. Each character had a distinct voice. His portrayal of Michael is to be commended - not only did he have to voice the character with a southern drawl, but he also had to sing! Kudos to the narrator.

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

If I could have, I would have listened in one sitting. It sure made my time at work fly by!
