About this listen

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nora Roberts enchants again with this beloved classic about the passionate and headstrong MacGregor family.

Serena MacGregor had been looking for a little independence and some much-needed adventure, but Justin Blade was not what she had in mind. The stakes were high, and Justin was betting on changing Serena's mind about him. But when this fiery heiress upped the ante on the cool Comanche gambler, steamy didn't begin to describe the results....

I loved the story line with the suspense and intrigue and excellent love scenes. Captivating and had me to the end.

Excellent

I am only half way through this book, I find the narrators voice, brash and a bit loud which makes listening to the story a bit hard. Unfortunately what may of been a good book is spoiled by the narrator.

Reasonable Book, poor narrator

I have read heaps of Nora Roberts, but this one went no where. Won't be finishing the series. Narrator was ok, but didn't nail the male characters.

Mundane

The first quarter of the story was very slow and Justin seemed preoccupied with sex.

Voices for the males could have been improved.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's voice was very sharp, stilted and very difficult to listen to. I enjoy Nora Roberts stories and particularly like her series however I'm very disappointed that I won't be able to listen to the remainder of this series. The narrator is just too difficult to listen to.

Good story - poor narration
