No idea where that voice is from but it's a big no from me.

Change the reader

Would you be willing to try another one of Laurel Schroeder’s performances?

No, sorry but your voice is not for me.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Baine Chronicles Series, Books 1-3?

None, I'm sure it's a good book, just can't listen to it.

Any additional comments?

Abusive Romance - bane of the Urban Fantasy genre

DIsappointingly, this falls into the all-too-prevalent trope that is the bane of the Urban Fantasy genre.

For some reason this genre is infested with the belief that a strong woman's existence cannot possibly be happy and fullfilled unless she makes herself subservient to the will of an arrogantly powerful man (usually one who has nothing else going for him than his extreme good looks...{gack!}...)

In this example, he imprisons her for an accident of birth, threatens to kill her for disagreeing with his opinion, uses blatant coercion to force her to become his apprentice, absues his position of power over her to watch her change (she's a shifter) and see her naked, and generally act like an arrogant dictator. All the while unshakeably secure in the knowldge that he is doing nothing wrong in any of this, and that she should be honoured buy his treatemtn of her.

Yet, unbelievably, this is the man she not only finds attractive, but FALLS IN LOVE WITH!!!

Skipping ahead to read the blurbs of later books in the series, she sadly doesn't come to her senses and give him the slap-down he so richly deserves, which means there's no hope for improvement in this series at all.

It's a shame because it's otherwise well written with an interesting and entertaining setting.

Personally, I dont' think it's worth listening to books two and three of this boxed-set as the first book makes it clear I'd spend the entire time being irritated that the main protagonist is determined to prove she's a doormat, rather than the strong willed woman she was initially presented as.

If you like the cliched, I-don't-care-that-he's-an-abusive-jerk-because-he's-SO-attractive type of "romance" story, then this might be the series for you.

I wish this type of book would stop billing itself as Urban Fantasy and be more honestly labelled as Abusive Romance.

Good

This was an enjoyable collection of book that were well narrated. The only let down for me was the continual stupidity of the main character. I don't understand why authors feel the need to make their main characters idiots that constantly run headlong into needless danger without thinking. That was the case with these books as well and I found myself rolling my eyes at the rather obvious plot of heroine getting into pointless life threatening situation and is miraculously saved by hero. Apart from that this was good and I will probably by the next set of books.

Good stories but.....

I like the stories. The narrator was way to annoyingly fast . I changed it to 75 speed and it was great.

Disappointed by the narrator

I loved the book but the narrator made all the men in the book sound old and foreign, it is such a shame as she was a good narrator otherwise. It just really ruined the book if the guy your meant to think is attractive sounds awful.
