Overall, totally worth my credit, but I will not make the mistake of listening to any more of her books with my car windows down again! Hi Kids! I always feel like the best narrators are the ones you don't notice, and so I guess she did a great job, because she only made the story better. Jill Redfield did a great job of bringing across the main characters voice, and reading the steamier bits without distracting from what was going on. Most of the time this was still fairly amusing, but sometimes I just really wanted them to shut up. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that some of the secondary characters veered pretty far into "stick figures with a schtick" territory. There were also quite a few very funny lines and quips. Not true of this story! There was enough interesting plot and non relationship tension to make this book a book I would have wanted to read even if it hadn't been for the INCREDIBLY steamy scenes between the two leads. Usually books like this one, that are beginning to redefine both paranormal fantasy and the bodice ripper genre, are written so that I just want them to be over with so I can enjoy the good bits and stop cringing in between. This is not the first time I've looked over at my partner in the middle of a book and declared "This is Porn.", but this is probably the best time.
