About this listen

Dana Birch vowed never to put herself at the mercy of a powerful man. She became a deputy so that she could take care of herself, and protect those she loved. Especially her best friends, the Titan sisters.

Twenty years ago, Garth Duncan swore revenge on Jed Titan for abandoning Garth and his mother. Now he's back to fulfill that promise, even if Jed's daughters get caught in the crosshairs. All that stands between him and his goal is Dana, her gun, and a growing passion that can't be denied...

Editorial reviews

Narrator Natalie Ross brings terrific pace, expressiveness, and wit to Susan Mallery’s fourth and final installment of her Lone Star Sisters series. Ross makes the most of the fast-paced, snappy dialogue, as well as the satisfyingly rich emotional foundation that is the trademark of Mallery’s storytelling.

The hero and heroine are both tough, smart, and fearless. They also share a sense of themselves as outsiders whose childhood traumas left them with thick layers of emotional body armor. Ross’ perceptive grasp of their fears and vulnerabilities around love gives their romance, with its two-steps-forward-one-step-back tension, a deeply satisfying depth and intimacy for the listener.

Ross captures the complex thrill of a first kiss that also carries the realization that these two people’s hearts are suddenly in danger. Then she turns around and brings laugh-out-loud hilarity to the makeover scene where our heroine makes her first horrified encounter with shapewear.

Hot on Her Heels brings the three heroines from the previous stories back together, and Ross effortlessly differentiates between the four women. She moves easily between izzy’s boundless energy, Lexi’s warmth, and Sky’s big-sister protectiveness. And she gives depth and richness to heroine Dana Birch’s tough, self-protective determination as all four women deal with careers, family, love, and life.

it’s also a pleasure to hear how she finds satisfying variations in the raft of Texan voices, and brings a particularly light touch to the voice of Kathy, the hero’s mentally handicapped mother.

Ross conveys the emotional richness of the characters without sacrificing the dramatic tension of the suspense elements in the plot. Her pace slows nicely when characters are challenged to grow and change emotionally, picking up speed and urgency when they must take action against a villain out to destroy anything that gets in his way, including his family, friends, and his country.

Don’t worry if you haven’t read the first three books in the Lone Star Sisters series, Hot on her Heels is a wonderfully satisfying standalone story made all the more enjoyable by a clever and talented narrator. Nancy Carter

I have just listened to this series which I read several years ago. I think it's a mistake to change narrators for the last book in a series, but I enjoyed. them nonetheless. These were good escape reading.

Fine ending to entertaining series

I love this series. this book is special and I will probably read it again and again.

5th Time & loving it

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Not sure why. Honestly this could have been the choppy way I read it.
It was a great redemption story and brought the family together. The book tied up all the various stories in a sweet bow.

Not my favorite but a good wrap up

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

I would have preferred to stick with Julie Francis for continuity of the series, but I don't mind Natalie Ross like others do.

I do have an issue though with the sound levels. Whether it is Ms. Ross' interpretation of male voices (they go too low for the microphone?) vs. female (they're loud) or the sound engineer not adapting for it, there are times when I have to turn up the volume to hear it. The audio is too loud in some places, and too quiet in others. Rather like watching a tv show that switches to too loud commercials. Unfortunate.

Good story - But...

Where does Hot on Her Heels rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Good overall entertainment.

What three words best describe Natalie Ross’s performance?

Good but the narration was inconsistent in tone and volume. The men's voices were so low in volume and pitch, I often had to try to adjust my radio to hear them at all. It was very frustrating - it went from loud to very soft.

Nice conclusion to this series

Enjoyed the entire Lone Star series. Ross as narrator was awful. She whisper talked the whole thing with a few loud exclamations. I was constantly having to alter the sound level. The whole point of an audiobook is to listen while you do something else without having to pull your iPod out of your pocket and change the volume 5 times in a couple of minutes. I won’t buy another book she narrates.

Mallery great, Ross annoying

I enjoyed it thoroughly! Sometimes I need mystery/thriller and sometimes romance. Susan Mallory is one of my favorite romance writers.

Cute end to series!

If you could sum up Hot on Her Heels in three words, what would they be?

strong, honest, finally

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hot on Her Heels?

In the motel room with Jed and Kathy.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Garth Realizes he loves Dana.

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

Not necessarily. It was very good but dod not quite have the grip the other books in the series had.

Any additional comments?

I liked this book a lot. May even listen to it again. It lost some of the intensity that the other three books had in the series though. I am really glad however that Dana got a story too and it was really interesting to see how Susan Mallery brought Garth into the fold.

Yay! a story for Dana! Worth listening to!!
