Let me start by saying....

Stacy Eaton is one of my favorite authors. That said, I liked this book BUT it’s not my favorite. I really didn’t like the female MC. She seemed rather harsh and self centered. Several of her choices were unbelievable but they moved the story along. Still, with all my dislikes, I enjoyed the story and I finished the book in one sitting. I liked the HEA ending.
As for the narration, I agree with other reviewers that listened at higher speeds. I listened at 1.2x and didn’t have too much of an issue. There were a few times the he said/she said sounded a little robotic but nothing too jarring.
I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

good or evil?

An accident scene turns up two dead bodies, a bag full of money, and a witness who can't remember anything when he regains consciousness. Is he a victim too or was he the assailant? Detective Natasha Foster's investigation was suspenseful and captivating. I loved the mystery mixed with the romance between Tasha and Jay, her John Doe suspect. Their chemistry sizzled and I really enjoyed their story.

I received an advanced reader copy of this audiobook and voluntarily provided this review.

Very digital narration

I felt like this book had a great story line, but the reading of the book seemed like I was listening to a computer read. Could not get into the book because of this.

Intriguing Story

Author Stacy Eaton creates an intriguing story of the impact of a complex auto accident on the life of the investigating Detective Natasha Foster. Natasha Foster is portrayed early on as fearless, accomplished, and intelligent. Her place in the department is earned by her work ethic and tenacity, excluding her emotional side.

The only survivor, and driver, of a car that careened off the road into a gully, has amnesia. As Natasha calls him, Jay strikes a chord of strength and ignites her imagination during the investigation. She wants the truth, but the gun in his possession, a sack of money in the back seat, an unidentified woman passenger, and body in the trunk need an explanation.

Only the barest of clues are present for the investigation. Natasha believes that determining who did what, to whom, when, and where are trapped in Jay’s mind. Is he faking his memory loss? No identification is available for any of the players in the vehicle. Who is missing money? You’d think someone would have missed half a million dollars. All the clues turn up as dead ends.

Jay, even missing his memory, is solid and vital ready to recover. Struggling for the key to opening his past causes pain and discomfort. He wants the truth, even if it means jail. He has no money, no home, and no one to help him. His attraction to Natasha finds the perfect setting when she offers him a room in her home to recover. Natasha walks a line between needing to solve the case and needing to explore her attraction.

Author Eaton accentuates Natasha’s ability to take care of herself in any situation where she can work from logic and facts rather than her heart. Jay balances his growing attraction to this beautiful, energetic, capable detective against his unknown commitments of a life or family.

Narrator Rebecca Ehrenpreis did not help tell this story in a compelling or exciting manner. I found her voice often dull and monotone rather than engaging for this type of suspense fiction. Her character voices were inconsistent, and the pace was out of sync with this remarkable story. Technically there is nothing wrong with the quality of the recording.

I recommend this story and the writing of this talented author, Stacy Eaton, for those who enjoy a complex romance with delightfully intertwined situations and scenes. This romantic suspense with grab you with action and strong characters. I look forward to enjoying other stories by this author.

can six days change your life for the better

How do you make a connection to someone that you just opened your eyes to? How do you feel deep down in your soul that you were meant to protect this one person? How do you walk away when the truth of it all comes out and you will be broken beyond words if you don't?

Meeting Tasha Foster and her life in small-town Pennsylvania was eye opening. She was the detective of the town. She was the protector. She was the solver. Then one day, one accident, one victim/perpetrator changes things in her world. The next six days will be nothing like any other in her life. Next we meet Jay. The man with no memory. The man with kind eyes. The man with a gentle spirit. The man that had a connection. Six days was all it took to change both their lives forever.

I enjoyed the story. I enjoyed to a point the narration. There were a few parts of disconnect with the narrators, Rebecca, voice. But overall I did enjoy it.

Romantic Suspense

3.5 stars

Picking up a book labeled as romantic suspense can be a perilous adventure because you never know whether the emphasis will be on the romance or the mystery/suspense side. In this case, Six Days of Memories is decidedly heavy on the romance and pretty light on suspense.

I liked the way Ms. Eaton tells the story through the point of view of both Natasha and Jay and, from the beginning, we’re led down several paths because Jay’s amnesia causes so much questioning of circumstances and learning the truth about the two dead women and all the cash proves to be difficult. At the heart of the investigation—is Jay a criminal or a victim or, perhaps, something in between? And can Natasha trust her instincts this time?

There were a few things that I found less than enthralling including a sex/massage scene that’s a bit more graphic than I like and some noticeable weaknesses in police procedure but, more than that, Natasha’s behavior when she first meets Jay is really inappropriate and inexplicable, behavior that brings into question whether she can do her job as expected. In fact, I think it’s probably grounds for being removed from the case in a real life situation.

As for the narration, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, Ms. Ehrenpreis has a very clear tone that’s easy to understand and there were only a few times when I personally disagreed with the way she pronounced specific words; I expect that sort of thing to happen. Beyond that, though, her narration sounded kind of stilted to me, as though she was reading the words on the page for the first time and so her emphasis on certain phrases and words just wasn’t quite the way a person would normally speak. That aside, I thought she performed well enough and I would definitely be willing to hear more books narrated by Ms. Ehrenpreis.

That's exactly what I'm looking for!

From the start, this audio-book grabbed me and I found it fascinating. I loved the suspense. The story was very pleasant. I always find Stacy Eaton writing something interesting. To those who like mystery novels, I recommend this audio-book.

Impressive Debut Novel

Stacy Eaton is great at listening to Six Days of Memories. Natasha is an investigator responding to a car accident scene. There is a dead female passenger, a money bag, a dead body in the trunk, and an unconscious male driver. I enjoy listening to an audio-book like this.
