SORELY DISAPPOINTED

Reviewed: 04-09-20

Let me start by saying that the narration was great. The storyline, however, was quite boring. That being said I did finish it but it took me some time of starting and stopping; definitely not one of those books you can't stop listening to because you want to find out what happens next. I continued on with it to see if it would get better.

Louise Bay is one of my favorite authors but this just didn't hold my attention. Ancillary characters were pretty good as was Luke's character but Ashley constantly got on my nerves. She was wishy washy and indecisive about everything.

LB, please due a better job next time with intrigue, wonder and non-typical, unpredictable storyline

SO, SO SORRY

Reviewed: 03-21-20

I have listened to every book available on Audible written by LLV and have loved them all. She is one of my all time favorite authors. However, this one was ruined by the narrators. I had to actually concentrate hard, as if I was listening to an incomprehensible educational manual, for this book to keep my attention. I also had to quit and listen to something else (twice) in order to talk myself into going back to finish. Narrators can certainly destroy a story if they aren't good narrators. In my opinion, audio books should be performed, not just narrated. These two did not perform, and sorely disappointed. I will be asking for my money/credit back which will be a first for me with this author. So sorry Ms. Vale even though the storyline was good, these two narrators just didn't work for me.

A BIT DISJOINTED

Reviewed: 10-24-19

LLV is one of my favorite authors but this story seemed a bit disjointed to me and I was really disappointed, I also missed Kendall Ryan as the female narrator….please bring her back. I think had she been narrating it would have been much more enjoyable. Stephanie Rose just doesn't fit after listening to KR for so long paired with Mason Lloyd.

DRAMA, EGO AND LESS THAN ALPHA MEN

Reviewed: 04-17-19

This story has too much drama, actually not really drama so much as dramatic reactions to almost everything. Lucy is caught in a whirl wind of EGO. It's not that she thinks so much of herself it's that she's always thinking of herself. The entire story is about her thinking she can do something about everything and that everyone's problems are her fault. It got really old in the first book and even older in the second. Hard time finishing this one. At one point, for several days, did not want to listen to the rest of the story, even my curiosity didn't get the better of me. Then, I wanted to know who she chose to actually be in love with. Very odd story. Very odd narration. Not at all impressed. Hope this author learns more about life and writing and the narrator practices before she narrates another book. It was more of a narration and less of a performance. Again, not impressed.

TOUGH LISTEN

Reviewed: 04-16-19

This was a tough listen for me. For one, the narrator left a lot to be desired; I eventually just went with it but the narration could have been much better. Two, the story drug out too long. I liked getting to know the characters, especially Saxon, but the ending SUCKED. It left me feeling like I wanted to write my own ending. Now maybe that was the whole idea but not liking that type of ending I was a little miffed. It didn't even end like a typical "cliffhanger" and maybe, again, that was what MJ was going for. Hopefully Book 2 will help smooth my ruffled feathers.

WHAT DO I SAY ?

Reviewed: 07-25-17

I don't often write reviews anymore, but, I felt compelled to write this one. While the story was pretty good, good enough to hold my attention to the end, and I liked that the male voice was done by a man and the female voice a woman, and the male narrator had a decent voice, but the lilts to his voice and the timing of them were very awkward. I know very little about narration or voice performance, however, I have listened to over 3,000 audiobooks and it seems to me if he had just talked normally instead of what seemed to be trying to perform, I think it would have been much better. That said, I usually give up before the end if I can't tolerate the narration and just return the book, but it says a lot that I stuck it out to the end.

Hope, if he continues to narrate, he gets better. I'd love to listen to the second book in the series but not looking forward the many hours of him again.

NO SUBSTANCE

Reviewed: 05-16-17

This book felt like "a filler". There was positively no substance to it. Don't get me wrong, LB is one of my favorite authors and I have listened to everything she has offered on Audible, however, this disappointed. It seemed as though she was in a hurry to get a book out in order to not loose her readers/listeners…

The performers were great and made the book an easy listen, but credit or money seemed wasted on this one. This will, however, not keep me from listening to future books unless they continue to be of the same caliber.

PREDICTABLE

Reviewed: 03-22-17

I really have enjoyed Ms. Huntings books in the past, however, this was one was way too predictable….I did enjoy it nonetheless. However, Muffy Newton should have narrated the entire book; I'm sorry Mr. Everett, but your female voice was much better than your male voice.

Mr. Everett just does not have the necessary deep, sexy voice required for this type of book. I finished it, but won't listen to any more books he narrates.

Good shifter romance

Reviewed: 12-07-16

Great narration; sweet romance; a little bland, but good nonetheless. Plan to go on to the next in the series.

SORELY DISAPPOINTED !!!

Reviewed: 12-05-16

Love the author; love the Reapers' stories and love Tatiana Sokolov's narration; however, this story lacked the pizzazz, drama, and suspense the other's had and not a fan of SC's narration.

It felt like JW was in a hurry to please her fans with another Reaper's saga and just really missed the mark, in my opinion.
