Historia
The preacher’s bride is a truck-stop waitress half his age with a reputation that horrifies his congregation and a free and easy way with the male membership. Still, no one expects Reverend David Hailey to stone his wife to death. But that isn’t the worst of Hailey’s acts. Substituting his wife’s body for the Virgin Mary in the Nativity Scene is a worse act of sacrilege than murder. With feelings at a fever pitch in the little Texas town of Canadian, John Lloyd Branson steps in to defend the reverend.

Absolutely love this entire series. Would love one last book, to explain some of John Lloyd's backstory and to let Lydia graduate.

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

I loved the book and love this adaptation. The narrator adds to the story without being intrusive. Casting was excellent, especially the accents of the various characters.

Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made? Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process...When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home. But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The characters are multidimensional and the storyline was beautifully developed. The narration is clean and there were several moments that his voice creeped me out ..it a good way. Highly recommend.

Historia
Criminal psychologist Dr. Erin Abbott wants nothing more than to live a quiet life. That means no danger, no intrigue - and absolutely no romance. But when Erin suspects a serial killer is roaming New Orleans, her investigation throws her straight into the arms of the only man who can help her. Journalist Gabriel Moss is hot to find his next huge story - and he knows Erin is on to something big. From the moment they meet, Gabriel senses that Erin is hiding something. One thing is certain: Erin's boxy suits and sensible shoes hide a delicate beauty waiting to emerge.

Romantic suspense at it's best
Revisado: 02-04-22
This was my first read by Stacy Abrams. I've been an ubur fan of Selena Montgomery for years. TBH, I was kinda leery about how Stacy would measure up. I had nothing to fear. Never Tell is absolutely fabulous. A perfect blend of romance and mystery. The author kept me guessing until the end. Her mastery of prose, as always, painted vivid pictures, in my mind. The narrator was auditory perfection. Highly recommend.

Historia
On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

I enjoyed this audio book immensely. It felt like I'd pulled up a documentary and then turned off the video. Appears well researched and nicely scripted. A fascinating look into one of my favorite time periods.

Historia
In a variation of the classic locked room mystery, Attorney John Lloyd Branson and his beautiful, trusted, but often impetuous legal assistant, Lydia Fairchild, scare up ghosts from the past and rattle family skeletons as they try to discover who murdered the young museum curator. It’s no Halloween trick when Brad Hemphill materializes in a locked museum at midnight, the main feature in a prehistoric display. Who among the museum staff would kill the harmless, mild-mannered young curator, and why?

I love D.R. Meredith and hate that she has stopped adding to this series. I would leave my husband for John Lloyd.

Cool til the end
Revisado: 01-31-18
What made the experience of listening to The Proposition the most enjoyable?
I really enjoyed this story on several levels. It's sexy, great dialogue and interesting characters. The storyline is interesting, but the female main character is too weak for my taste, the male's issues don't have a very plausible explanation and the cliffhanging ending was not appreciated.
What other book might you compare The Proposition to and why?
This is a classic Harlequin romance without the satisfying editorial perimeters.
What about Justine O. Keef’s performance did you like?
Ms. O'Keef did an excellent job with keeping voices clear. And her sexy scenes are really steamy.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Frustrated. I wanted to slap Em on several occasions.
Any additional comments?
I wish that this had be one, maybe two books instead of three.

It took a bit for me to get into the story. I found the narrator some what boring. The story spends a lot of time in the main character's head. But, the plotting is excellent and the suspense element is A1.
