First Thought when Finished: Dark Desires After Dusk was full of smexy with fantastic characters!
Overall Thoughts: I am really enjoying this series! I know I am late to the game and that these have sat on my kindle forever. However, I now get why people have sung the praises of the IAD series. Cade was a fantastic leading guy. He was hot, sexy, tortured, and just everything a girl could want in her HEA. However, it was Holly that really made me smile. She had spunk and was such a trooper. Plus their chemistry was off the charts. The story line was really good to. I like how all of these books weave together but each has a story that is unique to the couple. I know I am looking forward to seeing where all of this goes!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Robert Petkoff / Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins
Robert is quickly becoming one of my favorite male narrators. I love his voice and he delivers a story very smoothly. I totally approve!
Final Thoughts: Ready for the next one!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Kresley Cole.. Now that is an author I need to try reading sometime 🙂 Great review!! I love how you some everything up so efficiently with enough intrigue to make me want to add it to my list!

She tells good stories. They are not quite light but they aren’t super dark either. Plus Nix (side character) is worth it. I hope one day she gets a book 🙂

I wish I could listen to this kind of books, but sadly my inner twelve years old come to life during the sex scenes and I can’t stop giggling. Something a bit embarrassing, especially when I’m in public places.

True Fact: I put the speed on x3 during those scenes. I just can’t listen them for very long but don’t want to miss any narration that might be important 🙂

Isn’t it great that you are finally getting to and enjoying these series that have been languishing in your TBR? I am experiencing the same thing and so happy that I have taken a step back and am reading more of what want.

I haven’t read/listened anything by Kresley Cole yet, and it seems to me like I am definitely missing out. I might start with her YA series first though, less installments to catch-up on, although I do love a good male narrator. Decisions, decisions!

I haven’t read her YA series but people love that series. Robert is often but he does a lot of series so you might get to jump on one of them!

I love this series on audio. It’s on my short list of series I will only listen to because the narration is so good.
I hope it doesn’t take long to get the rest of the “older” books on audio. I’d love to get caught up this year.

Me too! I would like to have them all so that I can go from book to book through audio. I do think between kindle/audio I have them all but would prefer audio.

Nice review Felicia, I have to admit, it has been a few years since I read this book and I can’t remember this couple at all. Time for a re-read?

When you have time you should squeeze in a reread. Time is the key there though ?

I’ve lost track of this series a bit Felicia, I need to get back to it! I read the first 3 in a row and then I skipped ahead to one more (I can’t remember which one), and then I got distracted by other series. Fail. Must go back to book 4 and work my way through, I agree Kresley writes really great characters:)

She writes the most fab characters. I think that is probably my favorite part. Plus, I love the characters that are coming up 🙂 I am excited to start the next one! I need to get on that!

Robert is freaking amazing. I don’t know why but he can just pull of manly and yet his women are pretty good too 🙂 I would highly recommend his narration!
