OH MY GOD!! I'm only 45minutes into the audiobook and the fricking heroine is already getting on my nerves. The women in this series aren't independent, they are stuipid to a deadly fault. The whole premise is that the women have to submit completely to these overly dominant men. 
 Now I'm all for a well written sexy alpha male, but holy cow, these books take it to the point of "if I can't have you no one will". Very stalkerish and obsessive. 
 6hrs into the audiobook and we have another heroine who's too stupid to live. I may Not finish this series. 
 PAINFULL!! 
 I just finished the audiobook and I found myself very annoyed with the narrators constant mispronounciation of basic words (blurred, stirred, macabre, etc...) The ONLY reason I'm holding on at this point is because I saw that a few of the later books are narrated by Phil Gigante. I was also told that the characters get better in the next few books.
