Mostly enjoyable. A bit of backstory would have been welcome.

The narration was very good, but some of the writing was a bit clunky, oddly out of date, with a 50’s vibe.

DNF
This is an older Linda Howard title that demonstrates how much has changed, especially for female characters (and a lot of real life) in the last 30 years. The female lead is ridiculously helpless while still portrayed in such a way that she’s supposedly strong and competent. This portrayal isn’t helped by the narrator’s excessively little girl voice for her. I couldn’t finish it.

As always, Linda Howard gave us an excellent story with fully fleshed characters. I would have enjoyed it much more, however, with a different narrator. The male characters had terrible voices, high pitched and nasally, which didn’t match their characters at all. Maybe go with Kindle or print on this one.

I’ve always loved Howard’s writing, but it had been too long since I put this one in my shelf. It was so very good with a totally unexpected ending.
Great narration, too.

This story of Raphael and Andrea might be my favorite book in the series, post Kate/Curran’s story lines.

I’ve read most of Linda Howard’s books and enjoyed them all, but this is one of my favorites. Eric Wilder reminds me of all the men I love best. But every character in this book is an individual because Howard takes the time to make them so. From Eric’s police lieutenant supervisor who never mentions his wife without referring to her as his blushing bride to Jaclyn’s capable and viciously protective mom and the women who work with her, there isn’t a character who gets brushed aside.

A twisty romance with a unique difference. I don’t think I’ve ever read a story like this one.

Laura Griffin never disappoints. As always, this book had more than one story, with several good characters. Although I did love that ending. I’m looking forward to the next book…hopefully with a different narrator.

I’m a longtime admirer of Singh’s writing, but this book didn’t hold my attention as the others have. Parts were great, but too many others struggled to hold my attention. Too much of it repeated information from prior books. That’s good for new readers, but less so for those of us who’ve loved this series from the very beginning.

Way too much detail about female’s pregnancy. Seems her only reason for inclusion in the story is to be the pregnant one.
