Morgan Shipman (morganshipman) | 59 comments I sincerely apologize for not posting a book last week. By the time I got home, it was almost 1 a.m. and I was well past the check-in, so I take full responsibility for that.

My wedding is this Saturday, so I will make sure that I get at the very least one book completed and checked-in prior to Friday. :)

Every time I see an 'In Death' novel my mind automatically calls up Roarke's smooth lilting tone. I have to remind myself that the narrator is indeed a female LOL

Yes!!! Susan Ericksen is the only female narrator I've ever listened to that can do that for me - make the male lead's voice so perfect and sexy that you forget she's female. 😄

I was going to say probably not because that sounds more like an office job to me, but I just looked at the shelves and it's shelved as "blue-collar-men", so you're good!
