Night Shift

Night Tales, Book 1

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

#1 New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts presents a passionate story from the thrilling Night Tales series.…

Her voice was like whiskey, smooth and potent, but it was her contradictions that fascinated Detective Boyd Fletcher - the vulnerability beneath her tough-as-nails facade. Late-night radio announcer Cilla O'Roarke was being threatened by a caller, and it was Boyd's job to protect her no matter what. But the sultry deejay was getting under his skin, and the undeniable attraction that sizzled between them concerned the detective…because anything could happen on the Night Shift.

"OK STORY LINE, HORRIBLE NARRATOR"

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Absolutely, main character is a winer and hostile about everything.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Give the main character some common sense.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was terrible! She made the main character sound like a cry baby.

Could you see Night Shift being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No way!

Entertaining

I’m new to audiobooks and Nora Roberts and decided to give both a try after seeing them as kindle daily deals. I listened to this on and off during my 30 minute commute to work and l have to say the audiobook is the only reason I didn’t quit part way through. The narrator wasn’t nearly as bad as many have said (IMO) and her use of different voices helped distinguish the characters and give some life to the story. The ebook alone had me rolling my eyes.

The story was predictable and the insta-love that Boyd had was a little too much for an adult novel and I can see why people had a problem with his character especially when it was such a stark contrast to Silla. It’s definitely more of a romance than a thriller so go into that knowing so and maybe it’ll be a better read/listen.

Overall it was enough to keep me interested and looking forward to continue but in the end it’s not anything that will leave a permanent imprint in my memory. Definitely would still recommend people to try it as it’s a shorter listen/read.

Good story

Love Nora's books for was listening while working out. Looking forward to next book.

Cmor

Like the fact that the narrator seems to be the same as the other books. Had to listen to this book because listened to another in the series.

I love it.

From start to finish, I love it. I was lost in the story, like I was there caught up in the sound of her voice. Beautifully read and spoken like she was meant to read this book. Well done Kate Rudd well done!
