Enough to get me to listen especially since the ku/prime program allowed me to listen for free. However, this story felt more like a Nathan story than any romance which was secondary and not substantial enough to utter three words at the end. I’m not at all interested in Connor’s story. It’s not connected enough for me to care. Having said that, this series is a free listen. So never say never. The narration on this one was much better. This actor was able to carry both male and female voices without sounding cheeky....more

This book was engaging and kept me listening. Wilde is my new book boyfriend. It’s been a while since I’ve given a character that title. He checks all my boxes. Flawed, maybe a little broken, mysterious, protective, and a man who can handle himself in difficult situations. I hope there are a bazillion books in this series. I only have two, but I’m hoping for more. The narrator was good as well....more

I enjoy his stories and would have enjoyed this one without the preface that set a low expectation.
Although, I guessed the who done it, I did question my guess. The story move with a great pace that kept me listening.
I will read more by this author. The narrator is one of my favorites and did an excellent job here. ...more

The character annoyed me in ways and the author took too many liberties like when Maddie a cake in five minutes. No the author didn’t give a timeframe. However, it was suggested she wanted to leave rather quickly and no suggestions of hours past. There were other things like fingerprints on a knife. My initial question would have been how could they know they were mine. Yes, the author eventually got there, but it felt added as an afterthought. We didn’t get all the answers by the end and I don’t care enough about the characters to move on unless I get the audiobooks at a deep discount or free. The narrator was okay. ...more
First I’d say this was a great book if the hero had been any other male than Lassiter. With that said, being it was Lassiter, I was greatly disappointeFirst I’d say this was a great book if the hero had been any other male than Lassiter. With that said, being it was Lassiter, I was greatly disappointed. The character that had endeared me through many books in this series was not present for the first 75%. And even for the last 25%, there were only flickers of his personality. Yeah, I get he experienced trauma that might change any human but he’s Lassiter and he didn’t want anyone to know what happened. Thus, you would think his personality would come out here and there just so anyone else wouldn’t see or guess at the change in him. So yeah, a big long book and romance and Lassiter could have been “fill in the blank male” even and especially with his romance with Raven. Then, Lassiter and V have history and banter through the series that once again we got a one liner maybe twice in the entire book. Since we all know these books end in a mating, this isn’t a spoiler. Why wasn’t V mentioned during the ceremony? Instead we got the second of the one liners after the ceremony. Honestly, I feel cheated. Davina got a better true to her love story than Lassiter. The plot device used for a certain event annoyed me. I hate misunderstanding and it was too convenient for the story line. I also don’t feel like the relationship between Lassiter and Raven was developed at all. Insta love annoys me too. Le sigh- so While if this had been any other male’s book, I would have rated 4 or 5. I can’t rate this one higher than a three because honestly, Lassiter was missing from the story besides the book being named after him. Great narration as always. ...more

I also thought while the religious aspect wasn’t shoved down our throats, it felt forced/misplaced in parts.
I really enjoyed the previous series, but this felt like a first effort. It didn’t feel like a seasoned writer wrote it. All the clues were seen a mile away and were too obvious to be enjoyable.
The narrator was good and I didn’t dnf, so there’s that. I’m also not completely turned off and will read the next one if there is one. Hopefully, if there is, it will be better. ...more

The crime was easily solved though I’ll admit wavering there somewhat, I was always strong with my initial guess. That along with no character development made a soft read. Nothing to write home about. Probably a 3 for this series but still better than some 3 star books I’ve read, so I’ll round up. Narrator was good as always....more

I wasn’t expecting the ending until I noticed there wasn’t much time left in my audiobook. The only problem with the ending is how much time until the conclusion. I would have forgotten where we left off and would be like this book spending the beginning in the dark until my memory caught up with the story. Le sign. The narrator was okay.

However, as each story by a different co-author, this series does not feel cohesive. Even with the same main cast of characters, it reads like a multiverse.

I liked this one better except this co-author tried to erase the Jack book written by a different co-author. A lot petty if you asked me. But thankfulI liked this one better except this co-author tried to erase the Jack book written by a different co-author. A lot petty if you asked me. But thankfully Maxine toned down the misogynist Jack from the first two installments she wrote. That helped the story a lot. The mystery was also not as formulaic as previous installments. The narrator was good and I didn’t have trouble following dialogue as to who was speaking without dialogue tags. Overall better 3.5 because the author ignore previous installments/source material. I’ll round up. I’m feeling generous tonight. ...more
Well, this one started off well, but I think the narration ruined it for me. But before that, this one was formulaic. We had the man who lost his wifeWell, this one started off well, but I think the narration ruined it for me. But before that, this one was formulaic. We had the man who lost his wife and child to tragedy and we have a killer whose bad deeds were a result of bad things do to that person while growing up in an orphanage. Sound familiar in this series? Did JP give the same outline options to all his co-writers? Back to the narrator. If the narrator was a one man show he would have been great, but voicing a cast of characters not so much. There were times I didn’t no who was speaking and if a dialogue tag indicated it was too late as I’d been confused as to who was speaking and missed something. Then when he voiced Jack, half of the time he had an Indian accent and not an American one. Shame, I might have liked this story better. ...more
