Good Clean Reading

Reviewed: 06-04-25

Although a little predictable I really enjoyed the story. I love Joe and Wendy and how close they are. I also enjoyed the court scenes. But mostly I enjoyed the fact that it was a CLEAN read ABSOLUTELY NO PROFANITY!!

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!

Reviewed: 08-27-22

I ordered this book as soon as it was available and have been waiting with baited breath for a very long time to listen to what I figured would be the final installment of the Tracy Crosswhite series. Overall I was not very impressed with this story because there were too many loose ends upon the stories conclusion. I kinda wished they had gotten all the bad guys. I hope I was wrong and that we will see the homicide A team again - Tracy, Kenz, Faz and Del!

MEH

I listened because the reviews, all three of them, raved about the book comparing it to literature that I loved. All I can say is I am very happy this one was included in my Audible Plus package and did not cost me money or credit!!

This book was entirely TOO long and repetitive this story could have been told in a quarter of the time. The characters were one dimensional, unbelievable and boring. The plot was unbelievable and unrealistic (even for the time period). The narrator was mediocre at best, I increased the speed to make her more interesting AND decrease the listening time but was still very annoyed by the time I decided to stop listening.

Save your time listen to something else!!!!

SPOILER - Can someone please explain to me how it is considered wrong to have an affair with your married male employer but jump without even hardly a moment's hesitation into bed with your married female employer, his WIFE???? I found the message this sent to be particularly disturbing because adultery is adultery and wrong is wrong; trying to make one relationship inappropriate and the other acceptable is something I just couldn't abide.

DIFFERENT BUT PASSABLE

Liked it
Narrator did a good job
My only problem was too much cursing, we must be able to clearly express ourselves WITHOUT profanity

GREAT STORY!! LOVED IT!!!

Reviewed: 08-19-20

This was a very good story; the plot/storyline was believable and well developed, the characters were realistic with depth and personality, and the narrators did a wonderful job!

My one complaint was the profanity and pornographic description of the love making they were unnecessary, unappealing, and took away from an otherwise great story. Despite the fact that I loved the story if I had been warned about the profanity and pornography I would not have read this book!

USE YOUR CREDIT TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!

Reviewed: 07-03-20

I definitely struggled to finish this book. The storyline, characters and narrator all leaves something to be desired!

Was this a book written for inexperienced teenagers, I mean really 23 chapters of remembering a past teenage relationship while both parties admit to themselves they are still in love with the other person but unable or unwilling to admit it to that person is NOT the actions of MATURE ADULTS. You admit/declare your feelings get rejected or get a relationship but THIS fear of being honest is ABSOLUTELY TEENAGER ACTION.

Chapter 24 should be chapter 2 and then the rest of the story should have been developed around them joining forces to save their beach house or developing the new town or something, this author OWES me a book. There is so much more that could have been done with this story. I knew Mel was actually Nat from the first email (roll my eyes)

The narrator's breathless style of reading is annoying and distracting to me so if there was anything to get from this book (and I seriously doubt there was) I missed it because of the narrative style.

I don't recommend this book!

LONG WINDED

Reviewed: 04-26-20

i usually like books by Irene Hannon and I intend to read other books she has written but I found this particular one to drag on and on and on....... I just was not in the mood for the reference to things that took chapters to reveal, especially since I guessed what each plot detail was before the revealing, nor did I enjoy all the self dialogue the characters seemed to love to have with themselves. Overall in my opinion not one of her better books! The only saving grace was Therese Plummer A MASTER NARRATOR!!!!

Ended too ABRUPTLY

Reviewed: 11-05-19

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I was happy to finish it because the plot, characters and development of both were interesting, progressive and meaningful. I absolutely LOVE Maggie!!! I enjoyed Scott becoming a DOG PERSON and his choosing Maggie because of the connection he sensed with her.

My only problem is after you spend basically 40 plus chapters building and developing such an intricate storyline you end it so ABRUPTLY with hardly an explanation as to why, when or how the culprits became the culprits and not even a word about the mental healing of the hero.

The narrator is very good, I usually hate men doing woman voices and try to avoid them as narrators but in this case it didn't bother me at all he did a good job.

AWFUL!!!!

Reviewed: 09-22-18

I didn't like this book and REALLY struggled to finish it. As a matter of fact I only finished it because I am so anal that I would have wondered for a while how things all came together.

Spoilers - more than half the book is centered on the training Jina received just to run a drone on the go team missions. REALLY!!!!! I mean get on will it how much running, jumping and push ups do you think we need to read about?? The main characters barely talk or have ant interaction so how do the possibly fall in love. when they finally get together (second to last chapter) does Linda think that the sex makes up for the lack of interaction between them through out the entire story line?

The title is not even fitting Girl Left Behind my eye!!!! She wasn't left at least not in my opinion. The storyline would have been so much better if she had spent less time talking about training and more time developing a plot where Jina was truly left and Levi really had to go find and rescue her. I mean a true rescue not running to meet her two seconds before the rest of the team flies out on the rescue helicopter.

Then to add insult to injury the narrator has to be in the top three of the worst ever - can I say boring, monotonous, lack of expression, no animation the list can go on and on. Don't was your money or credit on this. I really didn't like this book!

GET ANOTHER NARRATOR!!!!!!

Reviewed: 08-22-18

UGH!!!!! This narrator was BORING, MONOTONOUS AND ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. I couldn't follow the story because I couldn't get pass the narrator. I tried increasing the speed but that didn't help. Finally I bought the Kindle book and read it my self.
