Could have been better

First, I like an erotic story just like the next lady, but I like strong heroines. I wouldn't be so irritated with this book, if I didn't think it had good potential. The heroine is extremely weak. Let me preface this with the fact that I am on chapter 13 out of 19, so there is a chance that the woman will grow a freakin’ backbone. If I hear one more time, "I don't belong here" I am going to scream.
Okay Lilith's job is an analyst who jumps dimensions. So after being kidnapped and taken to another dimension she is not paralyzed with fear. I thought this was a great start. But I quickly grew bored with all the inner whining. Like, “Oh he won’t spend the night with me, but she didn’t have the balls to tell him she wanted him to stay.” I guess my problem is either get angry and decided to leave or freakin’ fall in love and decided to stay. One of the things that I found curious is the author made the point to emphasis that she has been trained to observe people and worlds, but she remains so misunderstood, because she can’t open her damned mouth and tell him how she feels. If the woman was stronger I think I would have really enjoyed this book. As it is I probably would have booted her a%$ back to her dimension.
Again, there is a chance that the book will get better. I am more than half way through and I want to punch her. What is bad about me giving a review before finishing the book is that if it gets better and makes it worthwhile, then I have not given it a chance. I wish Audible allowed me to give updates. But I am so irritated that I couldn’t help myself!!!
Although I will say that Rebecca Cook is a good Narrator.


I will make sure I read the next erotic book on Amazon for less than 2.00 or 3.00 then I won’t feel bad if I skip parts because they bore me. Listening to this one was not worth my credit.

Love these Alien/Otherworld Romances!

Great story... I for one love alternate reality/alien romances... I like the whole multidimensional of earth thing going on in this story. I also like the fact that b/c Lilith ended up in another dimension she didn't freak all out, because she was already use to the dimension traveling.

Now I like the world she ended up on... what a throw-back world...where all they do battle! Lilith was a great character...but Sworn was a sweety, and totally misunderstood... I loved when he went to get his Lilly back...throwing himself into a strange world by going through he portal, as he never did that before...

The funnies moment in this book I think is the end... The Divinity lady that comes back with Sworn and Lilly... too funny!

Great credit or sale... maybe not a buy until the price drop...

Narration was good too... no complaints.

Great Author, Okay Book

I absolutely LOVE Michelle Pillow. She has written some of my favorite books ever. Also Rebecca Cook is one of my most favorite female narrators. But this book wasn't the greatest, it was just lacking Ms. Pillow's normal flare. I will give out of all the romance novels out there it was better than most, but I wish she had put a bit more thought into this universe.

Decent story

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

I would but with a warning the heroine is annoying at first

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I loved the idea of dimensional travel that was very intriguing. The heroine was such a wimp at first I kept having to stop listening to the story take a break and go back.

Which scene was your favorite?

Where Sorin goes through the portal to rescue Lilith it was awesome

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If the heroine hadn't annoyed me so much at first yes I would as I was intrigued by the plot

Any additional comments?

I would listen to another from this series as the story was good but as stated before the heroine annoyed me with her whining at the beginning of the story.
The narrator did an amazing job. I've listened to other books she has done and I love how she brings the story to life

the story is instantly engaging

In this most definitely for readers 18+ start to the Divinity Warriors series, the story is instantly engaging and the unique qualities of characters and the world is revealed in little bites, with a nice mix of character personality, information and action. Lilith awakes suddenly in what appears to be a prison cell, in a world that she cannot define.

And here is a good time to explain the world: this world exists in several dimensions/planes, with various levels of technology and aggression. Varying from familiar in an earthy-modern way, to almost medieval, or even primitive, Michelle M. Pillow has integrated all of this information so smoothly that listeners/readers can find familiar in each new world described. And Lilith is utterly unprepared for her new circumstance. Her training tells her to discover what she can: despite being scared, without her communication tools or even an understanding of her assignment. But, she is not on assignment from her work: as what can best be described as a cultural anthropologist, {I know that the blurb says data analyst, but she felt very Margaret Mead to me} her function with the Divinity is to study the different worlds that she is sent to, bringing them new technologies and returning with information and technology to her own home planet.

I really enjoyed Lilith: not the most aggressive person, her determination and processing of the information that she was gathering, and her reactions to Sorin were priceless. Rebecca Cook is narrating this story, and her inflections and integration of that mix of curiosity, hesitancy and determination to her soft-spoken delivery was spot on. As Lilith discovers the world she is now occupying, and learns more of the other areas unknown to her, her integration of that information allows the reader/listener to form a visual picture, and the telling never feels heavy-handed.

But, Lilith was brought to this new place for a reason: the Divinity Warriors are lacking in women, their numbers are dwindling. Lilith (and briefly the other 3 ladies from the series) are brought to solve this problem. And Sorin, a Royal Starian warrior, sees her and claims her for himself.

What to say about Sorin? Gorgeous, tall and built, even Lilith has to acknowledge his desirable packaging. If it were only his package though: the Ultimate Mr. Crankypants, he doesn’t want a wife, doesn’t want to want a wife, and doesn’t like that he wants Lilith. Beyond all of his other issues, he just seems to exist, at first, to be terse, abrupt and self-involved. Overly concerned with his birth and role, Sorin just needs to learn that some things are more important than who he is, and the next battle. When he claims the reluctant Lilith, and she obviously is completely afraid of him and his intentions, we see a touch of the softer side that he hides behind the gruffness. Again, Cook’s narration was spot on, with a levelled deepening of her tone, her delivery managed to emote the frustration, terseness and plain-speaking manner that embodies Sorin.

The two working to a relationship, with him softening and her experiencing all that he has to offer have moments of laugh out loud conversations: are studded with erotic scenes ranging from voyeuristically steamy to scorching. This is, again, not a title for those under 18, or those over 18 who have no interest in erotic interplay with their romantic leads. With the introduction, albeit brief, of the other ladies who have found their Divinity Warriors, I cannot wait for the next in the series.

I received an AudioBook copy of the title from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility

Wow! Good story but with Heat!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I doubt it. It was a good story but the sexual situations would make it difficult to recommend.

What did you like best about this story?

The whole concept of getting enslaved on a different world was unique.

Did Rebecca Cook do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, it was an engaging and well imagined story. Good character development.

Do you think Lilith Enraptured needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It would be interesting. I would read it.

Any additional comments?

Good story and please keep up the work.

I have found a new love

What made the experience of listening to Lilith Enraptured the most enjoyable?

The story line as well as the naration were excellent. Enter dimensional travel from this angle has given me a new delight, and yet another thrilling series to explore.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lilith Enraptured?

I enjoy erotic space travel, aliens, and wormholes but this aspect of enter-dimentional travel is a new high for me. Being placed in a dimension against her will in a place where they are aware of such travel, yet it doesn't change their lives overall.

What does Rebecca Cook bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Rebecca's verbal acting skills have placed her, in my mind, as one of the best narrators to date that I have ever heard. Male to female as well as different characters and their vocalizations, she is far superior to too many of the narrators I have heard.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just did not want the story to end, thus I will search more of Michelle M. Pillow's works.

Any additional comments?

"Lilith Enraptured" is well worth the listen!!!

Angel Enraptured

If you could sum up Lilith Enraptured in three words, what would they be?

This story is delightfully decadent. Lilith finds herself on an alien dimension where she is totally out of place but her intellect and wits keep her strong while her beauty attracts the most scintillating man. When will they get it together and learn about the power of love. This story kept me on the edge of my seat with lip biting tension. I loved every word.

Rebecca Cook is the perfect voice for Michelle M Pillows sexy story telling. I love when story and reader come together in perfect harmony and that is what we have here.

Yummy.

OK book..Wonderful narrator..

Any additional comments?

I only read books with sex but this one was a little much. And I know a lot of you don't have a problem with the word pu**y mentioned every time the H/h have sex but I do. It really isn't necessary. I never know what authors are thinking when they use that word, unless they're trying to make the act seem as dirty as possible.
AND I think the phrase "I don't belong her" was so over used. Every time you turned the page Lilith was saying it.
I liked Sorin but Lilith was about to get on my last nerve most of the time.
I will NOT be reading any more of the Divinity Warriors series.
The story could have been better if they hadn't been having sex every time you turned around. A 210 page book was just not big enough for so much sex and a good storyline.

As to the narrator: Rebecca Cook is one of the best narrators I've ever listened to. She gave the men great voices, especially Sorin. AND she actually whispered when the book called for it. That's how you know if a reader is good or not. If a whisper is absolutely necessary and the reader just reads it in her natural tone it misses something important in the book. Especially if you're hiding with someone and whispering and the narrator doesn't whisper, it's awful! IMO..
