one of my most favorites

Revisado: 09-29-20

Revisiting some past favorites makes me feel like I'm coming back home, and Delta Revenge definitely welcomed me back. I adore Javier and Sophia - the way they connected, worked through their roadblocks, and figured out what really mattered right then. And the words Javier had, when he wasn't being a dolt...swept me off my feet. I really didn't want to let go of this story the closer I got to the ending.

Oh, and Brock still rocks. ;)

Last, boy did I love hearing Jeffrey Kafer read this story to me.... he's got the voice and brought this story to life for me all over again.

emotionally charged hea

Revisado: 04-26-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Romanced by a SEAL is an emotionally charged story that makes you feel and takes you away to places that catch your breath.

I'm coming into the middle of the series, having only read book 2 about a year ago. I enjoyed landing in the middle of Jon and Ali's relationship and sorting out the feelings of "where do we go from here" with them.

I had to take a pause somewhere in the middle because I was connected so much to the characters and their emotions I was afraid of what was going to happen... and as much as I wanted to hurry through, I forced myself to live through the unknowns and worries and it made the story all that better for me.

I loved being in both Jon and Ali's heads, knowing what the other was thinking/experiencing and seeing them make their way to their hea. The twists and surprises along the way made the journey all the more worth it. I also liked the strong brotherhood and sisterhood shown - those kind of friendships are priceless!

I listened to this in audio and the narrator did a terrific job acting out the parts and keeping my attention.

one of my favorites!

Revisado: 04-26-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Talk about being blown away by a story! This story blasted its way to crowd in at the top of my favorite COL books, which now proudly has 3 in first place.

Her Tempting Protector delivers not only a crazy fun rescue adventure (I mean, fun as in lots of someones are out to kill us kinda fun) entwined with a slowly seductive love story, but it also sheds light on the heartbreaking atrocities that so many live with every day - from both the victims' and the caregivers' perspectives. This book makes you pause and think while you anxiously flip the pages to see what happens next.

There's just something about the quiet but strong (and cocky in a good way) confidence a man emanates when he's secure in who he is, what he wants, and what needs done to both protect and secure that. Cullen knows what his job is and he relishes in doing it - whether it's being a protective big brother, a rock-solid teammate, or the shield and safety for his woman - he takes charge and gives his all. Cullen is the perfect mix of hilarious, sweet, and bossy alpha hero I've come to treasure.

I loved getting to see Carys (from Her Steadfast Hero) make her appearance as Cullen's woman. Her history combined with who she was as a woman - strength mixed with vulnerability, secure confidence weaved with heartbreaking insecurities, her loving empathetic heart supported by a steel backbone - created a gorgeous woman from the inside out. I saw myself in her as much as I hoped I had my own version of strength she had.

Cullen and Carys were the ideal match for each other. She was someone he could protect and take care of, to give the dream of family and love to, while he gave her the safe place and someone to depend on when she needed it, and the someone to have her back as she chased her dreams. They were the perfect mix, neither overpowering the other. I loved how they complimented each other and both drew strength and gave strength from their love.

I adored every moment from the first page to the last, experiencing all the danger and the excitement layered with beauty, heartbreak, and triumphs. Stories like this give the perfect kind of escape for me. It touched my heart in a way that I know I'll remember moments clearly and enjoy revisiting often.

These two narrators do an amazing job at bringing the story to life and I enjoyed listening to them. Great job with acting it out and expressing the emotions of the characters and the action surrounding them.

hilarious rom-com spy games story!

Revisado: 04-13-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I'm listening to the audio (the narrator alone does an excellent job acting out the story and I'm lovin' it!) and only at chapter 6, but I'm hooked into the story already - giggling, intrigued, Zane!, being in Brent's head, the anticipation of what's coming next - and I can't wait to see where we go next!

****
I grabbed this audio book because the blurb and these two comments captured my attention:
"A fun and often humorous spy novel. Scratch that. It’s a romance with tongue-in-cheek spy elements...hilarious." Madison
"a James Bondy Rom-Com... I would LOVE to see this on TV one day!" BJ's Book Blog

I was wanting something a bit more light-hearted rom-com than what I usually go for, and this seemed to fit the bill. And it totally delivered!

And now that I finished.... I giggled through so much of the story that that fact alone made this a great read (listen). Getting to see a spec ops mission from a non-spec ops point of view was hilarious! There were some sweet moments mixed in with some rollercoaster emotion rides (I mean, being a billionaire dude doesn't leave you exempt from a bit of heartbreak and worries, ya know), and charm with a whole lot of laughs - whether intentional or not.

This is a great story! So glad I found it and got a day full of giggles listening to it (along with a clean house! lol)

audio made me love it more!

Revisado: 02-28-20

Written filled with adventure, drama, and cute flirty fun, Her Ruthless Protector is sure to satisfy!

I loved the way Kane and AJ connected and interacted, and seeing AJ through Kane's eyes - that was a powerful thing to experience and let sink into me. I loved seeing how they could each hold their own, but yet, were amazing partners, both in the bedroom and out. AJ complimented Kane well with her backbone, her smarts, and her heart.

Seeing this is a military story as much as a romance story, bullets fly and bad guys abound everywhere, giving just the right amount of suspense and anxiety. Dealing with the enemy and the powers-that-be, and choosing what is right over what is ordered, and showing what having your brother's back truly mean, the military story line packs a punch.

Mix together the twist and turns, tear-filled moments, steamy moments, and laughter-ringing times and you've got another awesome Caitlyn O'Leary story to escape into.

The narrators did an amazing job bringing this story to life. Their use of voices and inflections embodied the characters fully and matched exactly what I expected. In fact, while I loved the story originally, the narration of it made me enjoy the story that much more. Bravo!!

5+ stars for the Aussie & midwest-girl Delta story

Revisado: 12-17-19

The audio book brought a whole new life to this story (beautiful job, Jeffrey Kafer!), and just like the first time I experienced it reading the pages, I'm still adoring this story so hard. Plus, new live experiences give a bit different perspective, and Ryder and Victoria's story hit even deeper.

I adored the story and how Ryder and Victoria found and pursued their hea. So many surprises mixed with adventure and truths we all need. It overwhelmed me with beauty and contentment and joyous secret smiles.

adore the quickie Titan story

Revisado: 12-17-19

My heart and attention was stolen with Deja Vu. Experiencing James and Allie's dance to finding each other along with much needed answers was a fun trip, full of intrigue, heat, and happy sighs. Plus, getting tangled up with Titan always ensures a good thing.

Jeffrey Kafer does an amazing job narrating this story!

so much fun!

Revisado: 11-17-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Luke and Karlie's story provided a much enjoyed easy and light-hearted read, with just enough drama to keep things moving. I loved Karlie's confidence and her flirty fun attitude. I adored Luke's protective instincts and how when he fell for Karlie, he fell hard and it didn't matter what his past was, he was all in. The family bonds and interactions provided some hilarious comic relief.

And I gotta say, this story made me want to go out and find a horse to pet and ride.

This was my first book (audio) by Kimberly Lewis and I'm looking forward to backtracking some and getting the other McKade's stories when looking for a palette cleanser story.

The narrator on this book - absolutely terrific!! She was amazing with adding emotions and inflections and acting out each character's personality.

Loved the story!! One of my top fav SS books - from the first page to the last, I just fell in love with the whole thing.

Also I love the narrator's take on the story line and how it was acted out - definitely made me want to keep listening even when I couldn't (ahem, work....lol).

good

Revisado: 08-30-19

While I did enjoy listening to the audio for Saved by a SEAL, and there were lots of good in the story, I don't think this was a good fit of a story for me - and maybe it was because I mostly only listened to it while I was driving to/from work, so the constant start/stop left me feeling a bit disconnected to the story and characters. I also think it's more a personal preferences thing that made me not really connect with the story- I'm sure others will enjoy this wholeheartedly.

I also wasn't a huge fan in the narration of it - which may have also affected things for me. While I adjusted to and enjoyed the narrator's take on Zane's voice, I wasn't a huge fan of the other character's voices or how some scenes were acted out.

Missy was awesome in knowing herself, being able to fight through her insecurities, and being willing to chase down what she wanted. However that same assertiveness also made me wince at times (although Zane seemed to like it, and that's what matters). She also had a heart of gold in wanting to teach the girls in Nigeria and doled out forgiveness which softened me towards her.

I loved Zane's sense of protectiveness and how his integrity refused to follow through on a bad decision. However, dude was quite the jerk a few times and even though he won Missy over, and even though I kinda softened towards him with some of his actions in Nigeria, I still wasn't as drawn to him as a hero as I wish I could have been.

I loved their first date and how they were able to build off their past connection. And I loved the moments in the truck together. But I also felt the kidnapping and rescue was a bit anti-climatic and wish more time would have been expanding upon that instead of the repetitive internal dialogue from both Zane and Missy.

If your looking for a SEAL story where the emphasis is more on the relationship and less on the action (suspense) and enjoy an assertive heroine and a hero who has some jerky moments he's gotta sort out, this would be a great fit.
