DNF -- Too many plot problems

Couldn't get through this one. I really wanted to like it and the audiobook cast is terrific, but the plot is just too, too contrived. Plot points change to conveniently fit a new idea, sometimes within pages of each other. Kit's never heard of the group coming after her, but no, wait, just a few pages later she states she's been aware of them for a while and one they were closing in. So she just hung around waiting for them, I guess. The contrivances and convenient excuses just got to be too, too much, and I quit before any real arc could even get off the ground

Typical for the style and genre

Nothing new. The main character is forgettable as is the story. It is predictable. The guys are the same as well. They could be the stereotypical types you would find in a 90s pop boy band persona/characters. The writing was very superficial, therefore, so was the character development. The sex was premature. No development, no excitement, no dept. I found myself not really caring, bored and uninterested. Is she an independent woman or is she really an insecure woman buying into society's notions on sex and the desires to be liked. A strong female lead isn't perfect, rather, relatable. She may want to prove herself in certain situations but doesn't need to because she has self confidence. The same is true for men. There is no class in the connections. Reverse harems are difficult to pull off with out being cheesy and/or cheap or feeling like a bad porno. This didn't do it for me.

distraction

The male narrator is SO distracting in his robotic and dry reading, that I had to STOP listening and read the finish of this awesome story! I sincerely regret getting this on audible! However, I do enjoy the story and have nothing but kuddos for the author!!

Favorite Audiobook so far! Perfect selection and delivery ❤️

I thought that Marnye and Matt were perfect for telling this story! They were able to portray the different characters effortlessly and I loved they didnt just stay within their own chapters like other audiobooks do. I really enjoyed Matt portraying the different guys in the harem and Marnye when she did Kit’s inner monologue haha.

I I already loved the Vixen’s Lead and and am rereading the story before Book 5 releases later this month, but I am super excited for more audiobooks too (which I never thought I would be to be honest). I mostly listened to TVL while driving to and from work and during lunch when I had the time. It was always hard to get out of my car and I looked forward driving home haha. The story that Tate created is one of my favorites and I definitely will be getting all of them in paperback and on audiobook! Highly recommend you pick this audiobook up right now 😊

Great Audio.

I love these books and decided to order the audio for a "reread" Wow. I love the way the story is essentially performed. Whem any of the male cgaracters speak the male narrator comes in so its really acted out. Obviously great storytelling

Be still my heart!

One would think that five men would be to much even for the imagination, but this book makes you fall in love right off the bat! Kits humor and way of handling things is very similar to my own reactions. I love that it’s much easier to invest and absorb yourself into a book when you relate so much to the main character. If I only had the “extra” skills but if given the choice between the powers or her men...I’m going to have to go with the men! I love each and every one in this book! The ride was funny, sultry, action filled and quite a ride! Can’t wait to start the next book!

Narration made it even better

This was really good! I love reverse harem books and this was well written. The romance was there, but they're young and we're building on it so it was slow. Normally I don't like slower romances, but it fit the story and there was enough that I was happy. The paranormal aspect was cool and I can't wait to learn more about it in the rest of the series. The guys were fun, except Austin who needs to get over himself, but Cole is my favorite of the guys. He's a fighter and I like that he's tough, but sweet with Kit. Her heists were awesome and I hope we still see her pull off cool stunts in the next books. The pacing was good and didn't feel slow and the narrators did a good job, especially the guy who did all male voices.

Gripping AND Entertaining!

As a lifelong avid reader who devours books with a voracious enthusiasm - but who has unexpectedly experienced very abrupt and irreversible vision loss - I am so thankful to have discovered audio books. I have now had the pleasure of enjoying hundreds of them. This is my first book authored by Tate James - I actually stumbled across her as an author because of a series co-written with one of my favorite go-to paranormal romance writers- and I am now an avid fan! Very well developed characters and storylines that pulled me in completely! Extremely well-narrated. A total win for any listener of this genre in every aspect. Highly recommend and I will eagerly seek out more Audible books authored by Tate James!

New narrators please....

What did you like about this audiobook?

I loved this story and so read all the series as it was released. I had sent messages to the author asking if this would be put into audio form and was informed it would happen.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

The very different attitudes of each character

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

disappointing

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

better narration - both in character differentation and tone, sarcasm should sound sarcastic, shouting/yelling should be read that way

Do you have any additional comments?

I enjoyed that this is one of the few books Ive heard where the female narrator read female parts and male narrator read the male parts. I think more should be read this way. That being said..... Marnye did a decent job on her reading, not great but not terrible. Matt however was rather lackluster. Outside of giving River and Sergi accents and Henry/Harry (the weasly guy from fight club) had a sniveling voice the rest of the males from the book sounded so similar it was hard to tell who was talking. Need more variation in voices - esp for the male characters
