About this listen

Not everything is roses, chocolates, and vibrators in Zara's life...until Talon, Hawks MC president, wants to claim her as his.

Zara Edgingway is a 26-year-old secretary. She has a daughter who apparently knows it all and a best friend who could possibly have the mouth of Satan, but she's been with her through hell and back. Then there's the hunk-a-licious biker neighbor finally showing interest in her.

If only she wasn't about to face her next obstacle in life, the one she ran from six years ago: her ex-husband.

Talon Marcus is the president of the Hawks Motorcycle Club. For two years he's had his eye on the quiet, reclusive, yet sassy neighbor Zara. Finally, he has the chance to claim her as his woman. Just when her past catches up with her, she'll need not only his protection but help from his biker brothers.

Now, if only she'd stop fighting him along the way.

Struggled with the narration of this book. I also felt a little like I was listening to one of the storylines from Sons of Anarchy with the stalker Cohn tracking down Tara. Overall, I still enjoyed the story, just not the narration.

Storyline was great, narration a let down

I have read this while series previously and loved them. However I couldn’t even get through the whole audiobook. The narration wasn’t good at all. The female lead has but emphasis on weird parts of the story and breaks where there didn’t need to be. Felt kind of robotic. Couldn’t even get the the male lead. So unfortunate.

Disappointing

Would've been better to read than listen to this one. Narration was just wrong. Voices didn't match the story, characters not differentiated well enough so hard to tell who's who at points.

Ok story, terrible narration

Couldn’t get into it, the narration just doesn’t suit the story. Can’t define between characters. Has the potential to be fantastic, the introduction of a male narrator would solve this.

I love love love the story line, the characters, everything. I’ve read the book a few times and adored them so thought I’d try the audio so I could listen too. I was honestly disappointed with the performance though. The female narrator puts breaks in strange parts of the book and makes it feel like there are full stops etc in portions of the book I know aren’t there. The male narrator had a lot of high intensity parts to read and there was not inflection in his voice to portray the intense situations. I also found when there was a running dialogue it was difficult to figure who was saying what because there was no voicing changes for characters. I struggled to really get lost in the audio like I can reading the book.

Overall I don’t think I’ll listen to this one again honestly, I’ll stick to rereading the book.

Overall the story is awesome, I’ve read the books a few times now. The voices however are lacking. Talon’s voice is WAY too young, Zara’s voice is youthful but maybe a touch too youthful. Still a good story!!

I have already read all of Lila rose hawk series books and this is my second audiobook of hers.
Love her stories, love the Aussie sense of humour. Love how i connect to the hawks family. At first the male voice was let’s say different but then I realised he’s just a typical aussie male 🤭

Aussie aussie aussie

Excited for the story but the narrator dragged the story. Trying to continue hoping it’ll get better but doesn’t sound like it so far

Narration was the let down

I loved this book and thought the audio book would be fantastic as I love audio books. well I was wrong. This audio book was huge let down. The female narrator was very slow and constantly paused in between words. both narrators were not up to what the bom should be. The was no dialog chance when they were reading what the characters were saying. It was the same tone all the way through the book. I guess I'm just spoiled when it comes to audio books. So many other narrators would have done a much better job. sorry guys but that's my opinion.
