The narrator is NOT bad!!

I'm extremely picky about narrations & feel as though a poor narrator will ruin an audio book (fsog). I also feel like an excellent performance brings an audiobook to life.
No, this wasn't a perfect narration. There are numerous loud swallow sounds (which kind of gross me out & I avoided by listening through an aux) & the actual narration got better & better as the book progressed.
Kristin Ashley never disappoints & I'm so glad I finally downloaded the book & listened to it since I skipped over it several times due to the reviews.

Good One

Any additional comments?

I enjoy K.A.'s book's mainly because the characters are mature. They have had life experiences and want happiness for the rest of their live. They are not 20 something living in a fantasy world.

Somewhat predictable but well done

The narrator is not the Isadore here. I heard no swallowing and such as others said. The issue is poor sound editing. Bumping speed to 1.5 helps a lot.

More Kristen Ashley!!!!

I was a little worried about this one after reading the summary. I loved the Colorado Mountain series, and was not sure if I could get in to a story with a 20 year gap in the relationship. But as with all other KA books, she does a great job pulling you into the world that she creates and making you love the characters that she writes. This overall story is a romance with a murder/mystery backdrop. It is similar to the Colorado Mountain series and if you liked those books, this is worth the credit.

Narrator and Editing were terrible

Where does For You rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This could have been a 5 star rating for me had it not been for the narrator and editing of the audiobook. I listened to the audiobook mostly via bluetooth in my car, and the editing and gaps between the narrator speaking was extremely distracting. The narrator herself was very monotone and I had trouble following along with who was speaking at any given point in the book.

The book itself was great. I loved the characters, even though February drove me a little crazy at first. I enjoyed the suspense and the developing story around the events throughout the book. The secondary characters were exceptional, which I have come to expect from a Kristen Ashley story. I highly recommend the book, just maybe not the audible version.

✫✫ 4.5 Stars ✫✫

I loved this book! It was exciting, suspenseful and hot all in one. I loved that you learn early on who the murder is pretty quickly and then the rest of the book is them trying to catch him instead of the entire book being an investigation. The characters were great, even if Alec doesn't let Feb talk most of the time LOL He's very bossy but it's all in the name of love.

The narration was excellent and I was a little sad to see she doesn't have a lot of books on Audible. If she did I'd follow her work for sure.

THIS DESERVES 50 STARS!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!

What did you love best about For You?

ALL OF IT!!! ENOUGH SAID!!! LOL

Who was your favorite character and why?

February, she was strong, sexy and just a pleasure....I also liked Colt...but he was a bit more dominant than I like my men...but he was a softy too...so I secretly really adore him too! lol

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

I thought she was fantastic..I dont know why people said she was a bad narrator..she gave a great performance! Her characters were believable, she brought the book to life!! I listen to a TON of boOks and I would listen to her again ANYTIME!!! 10 Stars for Liz!!! :)

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

Both...I really tried not to ugly cry...but it happened...lol

Any additional comments?

This was a book club listen for me, and I am totally blown away!! This is a super long book, and I DID not want it to end...I kept checking the time, and would be like oh good there is 9hrs left...lol Feb and Colt were meant to be, and I am so glad they found their way back to each other! I liked how this story basically unfolded and showed how they were torn apart on purpose and as fate has a way of working out they were drawn back together...Destiny and Fate will always find a way...not to mention true love! This is much more than a romance story though, it is a thriller mystery, and I was on the edge of my seat, and did not want to put it down! It also had a lot of sexy sexy hot hot scenes that will keep any romance reader coming back for more!! I tried not to cry...but I did end up sobbing a bit...lol I LOVED IT!! And I will continue the series!!!

Narrator was awful

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

The story was good and enjoyed it as I have most all of Kristen books. However, I wouldn't recommend this as a audio book due to the narrator. I will definitely steer clear of any books with this narrator.

Would you be willing to try another one of Liz Thompson’s performances?

I will never listen to another book narratored via Liz Thompson's. Listening to the monotone and the constant swallowing was just awful!

Love the book, but not the narrator

I am a huge Kristen Ashley fan and after having read all her books, I am now going through the books she has on Audible. I have enjoyed just about every audible version of her books albeit with lots of different narrators. However, this is the first one that I really struggled to listen to. Someone needed to edit this book! There are audible swallows, and there are long pauses between sentences especially where there really shouldn't be. It was awkward, and felt disruptive in telling the story. This series of the Burg is one of my favorite so I hope the narrators are better in the other books!

Perfection.

Kristen Ashley at her finest. Thank you so much for bringing this series to audio. As a member of her cult following, we will buy anything she writes immediately!
Great characters and love story. Never a boring moment.
