Rules of the Game

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

A story of stubborn wills and impassioned hearts from number-one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts.

Television director Brooke Gordon thinks that baseball player Parks Jones is an insufferable cad with an inflated ego. Unfortunately, he's also brilliant and her client's spokesman. Brooke is determined to ignore the intense attraction she feels while directing Parks in a commercial. But Parks is willing to break a few rules to convince Brooke that love isn't just a game to him. It means forever....

i lov3 love lov3 Nora Robert.

i just cannot put her books down when i start them. i just havevto keep going to the end. its like im transported into the book and im right b there with them. i i i love you nora!!!!

narrator ruins female lead

This is on par with most fluff romance novels. I prefer Nora Roberts’ mysteries over these earlier books she put out. Since I purchased a lot of them without realizing they were just fluff pieces, I’m making my way through them and enjoying them for what they are - predictable but pleasant enough. This narrator does a better male voice than female, which is very strange. She narrated another I listened to a few days ago and it was the same thing. For some reason she makes the female leads sound like tough old pioneer women, bellowing everything they say. It’s extremely annoying. The male characters are done well, and her reading in general is decent. It’s just very off putting to have one character yelling all her lines. I’ll be more mindful of who’s narrating from now on.

Horrible narrator

The narrator uses over exaggerated anger. It is quite annoying. I’m going to stay away from books she narrates.

Fast Paced

Written in 1984 and it felt like it. Brooke is a tv director and Parks is a professional baseball player. They are opposites. It is good, but I personally was a little bored.

Don't bother

This is the first time I haven't liked the characters in a Nora Roberts novel. I almost stopped reading the book, especially since the narrator misprounces some pretty basic words right off the bat. (The heroine works in advertising and has a Clio award - it's pronounced 'cleo' not 'cli-o'.)
