Boringly Dissapointed

Every time (EVERY time) the "hero" and "heroine" of this story glance at one another, the plot (such as it is) comes to a dead standstill while whichever protagonist currently holds POV indulges in paragraphs of lustfilled thoughts and then more paragraphs thinking about why it's a bad idea. Over and over again to the point of being stupid. You expect some of that in romantic suspense but Ms. Anderson manages to make it boring and repetitive instead of using it for character development and excitement. Added to her penchant for having her characters talk almost exclusively in lame cliches, it renders the book almost listenable. Having said that over 80% of people rated this book 4 or 5 so maybe this style is not for me. Emily Beresford was good with the delivery of the story.

what a ride

The author is one very talent she grabs you from the first page throwing in a twist that is full of thrills. She gives you stories with today headlines with such passion, thrills, adventurer that sends chills through your body. This has a great plot and is a well written it will stay with you long after you put the book down. It’s a story that will make you look twice before going down a dark alley or being alone by yourself on a dark road. The narrator does a good job,I didn't care very much for her male character voices, they just didn't fit the part and didn't really make me feel emotion, her female character voices are good, you can really feel what the characters are going through. At times I had a hard time working out which male was talking and the emotion didn't fit it seemed stressed at times. There are no background noise, no volume changes and no repeating of words. I did enjoy the story and plot. The author gives you such wonderful character along with supporting characters. They will steal your heart, make you laugh and give you shocks. All are strong, friendly and at times flirty. The author does keep her card close to her chest and keeps you guessing who the killer is. She puts in many twists that will have you with your mouth open. Toni is one of those authors when you see her name you know it is going to be an outstanding read. You know she has some thrills which will get your heart pumping and your mouth hung open. Toni is a wonderful author, her audios are out of this world. I never will forget the first one I listen to I keep looking behind me the whole way to work. If you have read or listen to one of her book you know why she is a bestselling author.

Boring

Not worth listing, his books are normally good not this one I had to skip to end of the audiobook because I didn't want to keep listing.

Small towns and secrets

Imagine showing up to a small town to investigate a murder and hearing that you’re a dead ringer for a woman who was murdered 30yrs ago. But small towns hide lots of secrets. Can Holly Rudd solve this murder...and get to the truth of what happened all those years ago? Throw un a hunky dive instructor and we have a steamy, romantic suspense.

Loved it!

Good story, easy listen. I felt the narrator did a good job. I will definitely listen to more by this author and narrator

Bad narrative good story

Great story by the author but the narrator killed the books for me. I’m sorry but I did not enjoy the reading AT ALL. Maybe this is not the kind of books she should be narrating.

good story

I enjoyed the story line. Could have done without the sex. I didn't feel the story needed it.

Was this a young adult novel with teens subbed out for grown ups?

I cannot find the words to say how awful this was - story was amateurish and frankly boring. Characters were like children in behavior and dialog. The bad guys was like “meh, OK?” I had to listen to it at 1.25 speed to get through it (can’t seem to just quit a book). Save your money, save your time. Save yourself!
