About this listen
Lieutenant Alex Cruz eats, sleeps and breathes law enforcement. He's tough and brusque, and cops and criminals alike tremble before him. And that's the way he likes it. Until he meets Caitlin Summers - and decides he wants her trembling beneath him. The beautiful scholar is doing dissertation research in his cop shop, and seriously messing with his head. His self-imposed sexual abstinence comes to a screeching halt in Caitlin's ratty hotel room and dies a permanent death in his bed…and his kitchen…and his living room. Caitlin is also intelligent and funny, kind and generous, her smile a burst of warmth in his cold, austere life. And that scares the crap out of him. With his head and heart fighting a battle of wills, Alex can barely concentrate on work. And that's too bad - because his dangerous job and his newfound love are about to clash in the worst way possible.

Story
I’m not looking for a hero, and definitely not a fake relationship with my new boss, nightclub owner Dante Fury—over six feet of dark, hot, and dangerous. But he isn’t taking no for an answer. The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family. I thought I could hide as a bartender at New Orleans’ hottest new club, Ember.

Story
Never mix business with pleasure. Never bring politics into the bedroom. In a way I did both when I took Jackson Rutledge as a lover. I can't say I wasn't warned. Two years later, he was back. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. Under the tutelage of Lei Yeung, one of the sharpest businesswomen in New York, I had picked up a thing or two since Jax walked away. I wasn't the girl he once knew, but he hadn't changed. Unlike the last time we'd drifted into each other's lives, I knew exactly what I was dealing with...and how addictive his touch could be.

Editorial reviews
A Fine Specimen hits all the highlights of a characteristic "erotic romance suspense" by Lisa Marie Rice. It has a hot alpha male (police lieutenant Alex Cruz), a beautiful and irresistible woman (scholar Caitlin Summers), and plenty of sparks (only a few of them from guns). The novel is a reworking of Taming Nick, which was written under Rice's other penname, Elizabeth Jennings. The author subsequently spiced it up with even more police language and lovemaking, and the changes will delight listeners.
Stage and audiobook actress Piper Goodeve gives a lyrical and beautifully paced performance, even when she's voicing hardened cops who can't speak without profanity. Her peripheral characters are especially well-developed.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Story
Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Bad at commitment or born to roam? Either way, US Deputy Marshal Kurt Dandridge feels trapped. Maybe staying in one place for too long is the source of his unhappiness, or maybe it's because he's engaged to the wrong person. Finding his fiance in bed with another man takes care of one problem but creates another. Ridge needs a place to live. He'd leave Savannah altogether if not for his vow to apprehend an elusive fugitive. Renting a room from Kendall Blakemore seems like the perfect solution until Ridge finds himself falling for the alluring man. Would one kiss derail his course?

Jean-Pierre’s greatest gift was a lack of feelings. His past had ripped them away. But then he saw Eden. Onstage, she played her violin, spinning his head with songs he’d tried to forget. Unable to stop himself, he makes Eden his obsession. And unlike any normal man, he takes what he wants. But there’s someone in the shadows blocking his path. His plans for Eden won’t be so simple. This mystery person sends Russians his way, igniting a war with the Bratva. It’s too bad that there’s no limit to his obsession for her - no force that can stop him, no bullet to get in his way.

Great story and characters!
I really enjoyed this audiobook! The author is one of my favorites and in this story she added some humorous moments. The heroine Caitlyn is a nerdy but gorgeous doctoral student who has been given permission by the chief of police to shadow the second in command. Alex is a grouchy officer who is very focused on bringing down a local mafia kingpin. To do this he has to find and catch his informant, who is hiding from the police.
Caitlyn is horribly klutzy and looks much younger than her age of 26. When she repeatedly spills things ( usually in his lap) Alex grudgingly decides he has a responsibility to take care of her for his friend who gave her the permission. He will make sure he feeds her, he decides. Only the Caitlyn who greets him for their dinner date isn’t the same little klutz he thought she was.
I don’t want to give away the story, but it’s sexy and hot, sweet and a little sad, but there is a happy ending. Narration was excellent.

Pretty good until the end.
I was enjoying this story, even though the narrator was not great. I even had to laugh at some of the scenes, especially apartment hunting. Then, just before the ending, the hero was emotionally cruel. It was disturbing. Just after that, the exciting ending was a quick blip. Done! Leaving me more disturbed by that one scene, than pleased by the whole story. Sigh.

Drawn out & Boring
I could not finish. I liked it in the beginning . I liked Alex at first with his super alpha male personality. I liked that he was foul mouth and very protective. I didn't like how all he wanted from Caitlin was to end his sex drought. I couldn't like Caitlin. Absent-minded academic. She just seemed so naive and boring.The first 8 hours were them going back and forth having sex and arguing. The inner dialog ( Him...why does she want to move out of my house? I don't want to ask her to stay but I want her to. Her...I want to stay but I need to leave to protect my heart since he won't ask me to stay) drove me crazy. I had less than 1 hr 30 mins. left and I'm assuming the danger to her was in that part but I couldn't stick it out.
I've read other books by this author and loved them. This one was just boring and drawn out. Full of filler and fluff. Probably could have been better if it was 6 hrs. or less.
