Rafe Kincaid controls everything in his life... until he meets Julia. Julia Gilliland has always been interested in the natural world around her. She particularly enjoys studying the fossils and formations in the magnificent cave near her father’s house. The cave seems plenty safe—until the day a mysterious intruder steals the rope she uses to climb out. Rafe Kincaid is a man used to being in control—of himself, his brothers, and his family’s ranch. The last thing he expects is to find a woman trapped in the cavern on his land—or to be forced to kiss her! Rafe is more intrigued by Julia than any woman he’s ever known. But when their developing relationship threatens a reconciliation with his brothers, will Rafe have to choose between his family and this new love that could heal his troubled heart and secure his happiness?

Like the way it is family oriented. The stories of the caves is entertaining. The narrator is very good and I love the way voices change.

I want to like this story but I’ve struggled to get thru it. Both Julia and Raf are controlling bossy people who can’t seem to see how annoying they are. Julia is so childish and selfish it’s amazing. For characters who are supposed to be Christians, I see little evidence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. How can anyone be so obsessed with something that it blinds them to everything else, including possible life and death danger? I don’t know if the characters are made more annoying because of the narrator or if the story itself is that way. As expected, all 3 brothers are reunited in the end. I hope the characters mature as the series continues, but I don’t know if I can handle listening to the rest of the books in this storyline. “He needed to take care of her… How was he to control her…” really? I want to like this, but it’s just so so. Julia only seems to become a reasonable and tolerable character in the last 30 minutes or so of the book. I guess I should’ve known by the book’s title it would have something to do with controlling and over bearing characters. I do appreciate the author pointing out that, yes, even in the lowest darkest ends of the earth, God is also there. Praise God, he is always with us. Why it took the entire book for the characters to realize this great comfort, I don’t know. This book might be better suited for teenagers than more seasoned adults.

Childish, bossy characters who distract from a potentially interesting story

Another good book by Mary Connealy. I really enjoyed this book, but the narrator turned me off a little bit. Don't let that stop you though, if you're on the fence. The plot was good, but I really expected a more light hearted plot as in her other books. The ending was happy, but the spookiness of the cavern turned me off a bit as well. I enjoyed the main characters, but Rafe was a bit too bossy and Julia a bit too obsessed with fossils and the cavern. Wished there was more romance in the story.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not really. I did not care for the voice and it was not formatted correctly. The narrator would say Chapter 15 but it was reading on my device as chapter 23. Things like that.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Out of Control?

I liked the history about the cave.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Baby voice for females who were strong characters.

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

Beginning was exciting.

I have wanted to read/listen to a Mary Coneally book for a long time. Glad to find this one on audible.com! I had just finished listening to a very dark secular novel that had elements in common with my own writing. I'd also begun listening to another secular best-selling novel with major commonalities with my own manuscripts so I want to listen. Both were pretty depressing. The Christian world view and voice of hope were notably absent. Reasons I listen/read Christian novels and write Christian historical romance. So when I got this download I jumped right in. What a nice break from the yucky feeling I had listening to a voice devoid of faith. A concern I had about this story, that pulled me out of the listen, was that I have a daughter about this age and both the H/H were so lacking in common sense imho. My hubby, when I described the scenario to him commented that so many young people are into extreme sports, etc., these days, that for them this wouldn't be an issue (not about extreme sports but what they are doing in the story with the caves and the psychopath etc.) To me, though, this story was a great wonderful antidote to having just had two bummer listens. The author's voice is uplifting and she had a unique story and interesting characters. I felt like listening to Mary's book reset my bummed out reading experience and got me back on track!

Nice Break from Depressing Listens!
