If you could sum up Extreme Honor in three words, what would they be?

Pretty darned good!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Extreme Honor?

When Atlas decided to trust David

Which character – as performed by Daniel Thomas May – was your favorite?

David for sure

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

not a particular moment. I liked that the book highlighted that animals feel deeply.

Any additional comments?

I listen to my audible books while working out or driving. I actually went extra mileage running so I could get another chapter in.

I agree the male voice actor was bad

I enjoyed the performance of the female voice actor but when it was time for the guy - UGH. Seriously. I could have gotten over that if the story was better. I love sports romances. This was very shallow. Much talk about the MC - I'm not a prude but I prefers at least a little substance to a relationship. I found myself not caring about the story and fast forwarded through Nathan Everett's parts. I'd suggest saving your money/credit. I don't often post negative reviews but felt I should warn fellow listeners.

I enjoy almost every type of romance. This one was just vulgar. I don't mind some foul language but most was a profanity. I don't even mind that if there is a good story running through the book. I actually fast forwarded through most of the book and felt compelled to warn my fellow listeners to not get the book.

Although I liked the male narrator I found myself skipping chapters as I felt the story was about twice as long as it needed to be. The female narrator had me turning the volume down. Wish I would have loved it because the other stories sounded interesting. I fear I'd skip chapters on those too.

I like the other 'night' books. This one I recall from my paperback days part way through and it was not stellar.

What did you love best about Dark Witch?

I like the story, the flashbacks, the interconnected characters.

If you’ve listened to books by Nora Roberts before, how does this one compare?

I've listened to almost off of the Nora Roberts books on Audio CD/Audible. This narrator was, for me, one of the worst.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

First the Irish Brogue sounded more like old witches cackling. Then for intensity the narrator would crescendo into a shout for a lot of the scenes. Seriously loud. Romance - shout, danger lurking around the corner - shouting. I literally would have to turn the volume down in the car. I like an intense and moving love scene - when it's hollered at me, not so much.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

NO1

Any additional comments?

This is the first audio performance I wish I had just read the book. If you need a little Nora, I'd recommend the Audio version of Born in Fire, Born in Ice, Born in Shame.

Where does The Perfect Hope rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really like the way Mr. MacLoud performs a book. With the exception of his children's voices, there is just about the right amount of change between characters. Nice cadence.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Perfect Hope?

So many....I was laughing, crying, and sighing. Great in this type of genre.

What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The bringing the characters to life. I think I acutally skim more of the story if I'm reading vs listening to an audiobook.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was too long for that but it kept me company for many work drives.

What made the experience of listening to The Last Boyfriend the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the performance of this book. The story was a great continuation of the first in the series, The Next Always, but stands on it's own too.

What did you like best about this story?

Best? I think the twist that I will not reveal for the others who haven't experienced the story yet. Plus the secondary characters of Owen's mother and Avery's father.

What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like hearing books performed by men. Mr. MacLeod's narration is a good cadence and tone. I think when I listen to a book I actually hear more of the story than when I just read it myself.

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable performance. I look forward to more romance narrations from this performer.

What did you love best about The Next Always?

I love the character development in Nora Roberts' books. This was no exception. Although the recipe seems to be repeated from other series there were enough differences to make this really enjoyable. A few nice twists too.

What other book might you compare The Next Always to and why?

The McKade Brothers books by Nora Roberts. Similar premise with brothers finding true love.

Which character – as performed by MacLeod Andrews – was your favorite?

Becket for sure.

Any additional comments?

If you get past the shrill children's voices from the performer the rest is pure pleasure!
