Title: The Devil Unleashed Subtitle: Cain Casey Series, Book 2 Author: Ali Vali Narrator: Hilarie Mukavitz Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A gunshot meant to end the legacy of the Casey Clan has left a weakened Cain fighting to regain control of her business while trying to protect her heart from the woman who left her. As the heat of violence rises, so does the passion. Members Reviews: Great series! I have read all the books so far in the series but listening to these on Audible is great. Can't wait for the rest. Very good What did you love best about The Devil Unleashed? The wrath of Cain. What other book might you compare The Devil Unleashed to and why? The Godfather. Except she's the Godmother. I love mob stories. Even better when it's a woman. What about Hilarie Mukavitzs performance did you like? The voice. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The way her daughter loves her, and when she gave the couple the baby. Any additional comments? Can't wait for book 3. Don't take too long. Great book lacks passionate narrative I've read this series before absolutely love it! But the narration lacked the passion of the characters. Radcliffe books have great narrators I loved this book. I love the Cain Casey series. I have already read them all. I'm getting more used to listening to Hilaire Mukavitz. I don't love her voice, but getting familiar w/ it. The book is great, you need to listen to book 1 or read it before you start this one. Thanks to BSB for getting this on audio. Needs a better narrator, too many characters for 1 I listened to the first book in this series, and it was thrilling, full of cliff hangers in each chapter almost, and the end...wow had to get the second! But it is fairly ordinary by comparison. It flows straight from the last word in the first chapter, then the awful narrator who was the only thing I disliked in the first book, continues ruining this book which is basically the first chapter covers the fallout from the bomb, the rest of the book covers repairing the club and offices, which is good to hear more from Muriel who is a much deeper character. The chapters are also full of explicit sexual descriptions of the loved up twosome, Cain is with the flawless Emma...we get it, one chapter would suffice! There's some retributive murders, but that's it. Worse is the narrator, there needs to be more people narrating, it's ludicrous listening to this narrator try to impersonate a multitude of characters, various and diverse.

Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend, Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way.

Members Reviews: Self-discovery It's a great LGBT story that promotes self-discovery. Buy it today. I highly recommend it. lovely narrator never reads fast enough for me, but the story was amazing... really touching. I'm a huge fan of David Leviathan and was certainly not disappointed here. I'd highly recommend this moving tale of two ships passing in the night who choose to sail together, to fight life together as their lives change and unfold. wow! this book really captured love regardless of whether a kid is gay straight or otherwise at this age. highly recommend. great listen! loved alternating POVs loved this story of friendship! probably one of the best books I've read that has alternating POVs with two different characters. that format really drove the plot in a unique way in this book! Awesome real life LGBT story Loved the characters and the genuine issues faced. Great high school read about students figuring themselves out

Frog Audiobook by Mary Calmes

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 323 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Weber Yates's dreams of stardom are about to be reduced to a ranch hands job in Texas, and his one relationship is with a guy so far out of his league he might as well be on the moon. Or at least in San Francisco, where Weber stops to see him one last time before settling down to the humble, lonely life he figures a frog like him has coming. Cyrus Benning is a successful neurosurgeon, so details are never lost on him. He spotted the prince in a broken-down bull rider's clothing from day one. But watching Weber walk out on him keeps getting harder, and hes not sure how much more his heart can take. Now Cyrus has one last chance to prove to Weber that it's not Weber's job that makes him Cyrus's perfect man, it's Weber himself. With the help of his sister's newly broken family, hes ready to show Weber that the home the mans been searching for has always been right there, with him. Cyrus might have laid down an ultimatum once, but now it's turned into a vow - he's never going to let Weber out of his life again. Members Reviews: Ah Weber, if only . . . I loved this book when I read it and K.C. Kelly really brought it too life. This is the story of a ongoing romance between a wandering, bull riding cowboy with no family and no home, but a heart of gold, and a San Francisco neurosurgeon that loves him unconditionally. The story is told from Weber's (cowboy) POV and is basically about his journey of self discovery. Not him struggling with being gay, but failing to see his own self worth. It is really beautiful and the narrator does an excellent job. Definitely worth a credit. Sweet Feel-Good M/M Romance with a Southern Drawl It really deserves that extra . Really mello but still touching and hot m/m romance. Pride can be such a tricky bitch, keeping those lovers apart. It was an easy read over an afternoon, and really sweet. The narrator has a lovely Southern drawl that was very appealing and easy on the ears. I thought he was a wonderful choice for Webber. Being from the South, I must say it worked well for me; I found it believable and more than comfortable to listen to. Like a tall glass of sweet iced tea on a hot day- only for my ears. OK, that's kind of a strange analogy, isn't it? The only thing I wanted a little more of, and this may seem odd... but adversity. I suppose it's part of Webber's draw is that he can charm the pants of anyone... well, sort of, but there was a shit ton of acceptance going on. I hope that the world is filled with such loving, open-minded people out there, but deep down I found that hard to really believe that. But then again- this is fiction, suspension of disbelief and all that. It flirted with almost being 'too much' acceptance, but never quite crossed that line (it toed it, though). This will most definitely be a re-read, it was just too easy to suck it down in a single afternoon. A repeat listen ! I have this as a repeat listen. A story to return to like comfort food. The voice actor was great! One of my favorite comes to life in audio Would you listen to Frog again? Why? Yes, I have read this story too many times to count! Now, the audio is available and as good as the story. Perfect narrator for the characters. Who was your favorite character and why? I love Weber! What does K.C. Kelly bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice is perfect for the retired Weber.

Fool of Main Beach (Love in Laguna) Audiobook by Tara Lain

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Love in Laguna Novel Merle Justice wants to reach for the stars, but its tough to get respect when playing a teenybopper vampire on TV. Then he meets a famous director anxious to give him all he thinks he wantsand maybe a bit more. Everythings looking up until a life-threatening encounter with some homophobes on Main Beach puts Merle face-to-face with a Sasquatch-sized hero in a pink puffer coat. Tom Henry defies description. As unsophisticated and simple as an angel, he walks through life content with who he is and asking for very little except to care for his sister, Lily, and the dogs he loves. Then he meets Merle, the embodiment of dreams he barely knows he has. Merle knows the people who hold his future in their hands might love Tombut theyll never understand Merle and Tom together. Tom knows it too. With lives this far apart, whos really the fool of Main Beach? Members Reviews: Sweet This was a sweet romance and while it slows somewhat in the middle with a frustrating separation, it (thankfully) picks up again quickly. Overall I loved K.C. Kelly's narration and really thought he did well and had a good handle on the many different character voices and was able to convey the emotions of many scenes without going over the top. Told in Merle and Tom's dual POV, this is sweet without being excessive. Just a nice, low angst, sexy, romance with a lovely HEA. My only complaint about the narration was the (to me) mispronunciation of the car brand Audi. I've always been taught it's pronounced "ow-dee" and Kelly kept pronouncing it "awe-dee". Perhaps that's a regional pronunciation? Regardless, fans of the series should enjoy getting to spend time with the casts from some of the other books in the series who make appearances and even play more supportive roles to help Merle and Tom along in their romance. Though this is the fifth book in the series, it can absolutely be read/listened to as a standalone. Another Sweet Love Story This sweet story. I loved this book. Tara Lain sets her sights on your heart and hits it time after time. This is a tale of two unlikely men who meet and fall in love. One is beautiful and famous, the other is handsome and simple, at first glance. Looks can be deceiving, though. Tom is the truly beautiful man on the inside as well as the outside. His simple approach to life and love hide the insightful, caring man at Toms core. Though the world looks at Merle and Tom and wonders what Merle sees in Tom, Merle wonders what Tom sees in him. There are other characters and dramas going on around Merle and Tom that keep pushing them back towards each other. Tara Lain writes a beautiful story of love and loss, sadness and happiness with heart and soul. I listened to the audiobook with narration by K. C. Kelly and it was perfect for this story. I am off now to listen to more books by Tara Lain. Loooooooove this story and series This is one of my favorite series, but this story is my absolute FAVORITE of the stories. Fantastic cast of characters (I adore Tom). Great story line, and K.C. Kelly was brilliant as always. Another Great One I loved this book. Ive read the entire series and look forward to the next book. KC Kelly is my favorite actor.

Title: The Queen & the Homo Jock King Subtitle: At First Sight Author: TJ Klune Narrator: Michael Lesley Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 407 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sequel to Tell Me It's Real Do you believe in love at first sight? Sanford Stewart sure doesn't. In fact, he pretty much believes in the exact opposite, thanks to the Homo Jock King. It seems Darren Mayne lives for nothing more than to create chaos in Sandy's perfectly ordered life, just for the hell of it. Sandy despises him, and nothing will ever change his mind. Or so he tells himself. It's not until the owner of Jack It - the club where Sandy performs as drag queen Helena Handbasket - comes to him with a desperate proposition that Sandy realizes he might have to put his feelings about Darren aside. Because Jack It will close unless someone can convince Andrew Taylor, the mayor of Tucson, to keep it open. Someone like Darren, the mayor's illegitimate son. The foolproof plan is this: seduce Darren, and push him to convince his father to renew Jack It's contract with the city. Simple, right? Wrong. Members Reviews: Loveee it. Wow I 'm speechless.... Ok first Klune is one of the gods of gay novels and thanks for blissing us with one of your beautiful creation to read. Tell Me It's Real was great but this one was crazy awesome, i love the characters in the books and the amazing Way Michael Lesley makes them come alive. There were so many beautiful, funny, loving, crazy and amazing moments in this story everybody in the family is crazy I mean everyone but I love them, yep The Queen & the Home jock king was a beautiful story. certainly got me out of my reading slump, worth staying up late to listen to it 5 stars. So, I highly recommend this if you enjoyed TJ's books. A Must Have for TJ Klune & Michael Lesley Lovers! Any additional comments? I have expectations of a T.J. Klune novel. It must be funny, it should have some emotions tucked into it too, and above all, it should be written so I can devour it quickly thoroughly enjoying every turn of the page. This had the potential to go either really wrong or really right. Luckily, my faith in T.J. Klune remains unblemished, because this was totally right. I love the humor, the feels (though I was a little surprised I didn't get hit with wookie cry face), and the way Klune handles bringing back some of my favorite characters. Sandy is, of course, fierce and divine and hot mess and wonderful. Paul and Vince, Matty and Larry Auster, Nana...they're all back and in rare form. Some of the text conversations and interactions in this story...So. Freaking. Funny. There's some miscommunication, which drives me up a wall, but it works here for the most part and shows how well it's written that I didn't want to chuck my Kindle through a window. I especially loved how Sandy handles the whole seduction of Darren Mayne, Homo Jock King. It's brilliant, and funny, and had me snort laughing until it was hard to breathe. In the end, the whole thing is deliciously well done, and if you are a fan of Tell Me It's Real you will not be disappointed in this. If you listened to Michael Lesley's performance for book one in the series Tell Me It's Real (At First Sight #1) then you know you are going to laugh your butt off when listening to this. If you haven't listened to it, then what is wrong with you? Go - go buy it now.

Jericho Audiobook by Ann McMan

Title: Jericho Author: Ann McMan Narrator: Christine Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 371 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Librarian Syd Murphy flees the carnage of a failed marriage by accepting an 18-month position in Jericho - a small town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. Her plans to hide out and heal her wounds fall by the wayside as she gets drawn into the daily lives of the quirky locals. She becomes fast friends with Maddie Stevenson, the enigmatic physician who has returned to the backcountry community to take over her late father's medical practice. Together they learn that life and love can have as many twists and turns as a country road. Members Reviews: As Good As Advertised The setting for this book is the area where I was born and not far from where I now live. That was my original reason for risking a credit on 21 hour book. It is usually difficult to sustain interest in a book that long because there is often a lot of filler material in a book that long. There is some of that in this one but I'm glad I gave this selection a chance. The twenty one hours went by much quicker than I thought they would because this is an excellent audiobook. This in spite of the fact that it took the two of them longer to make a move on each other than it has any couple thus far in the 21st century. The verbal sparring and repartee engaged in by Maddie and Syd as well as between David and Maddie is both witty and funny. I'm not sure how old the author is but the sexual banter between the two of them has all the wit and verve of a Three's Company episode. An excellent touch here is so much of the activities and dialogue of the people in a small mountain town that the author gets right. Far too often authors or narrators unfamiliar with the area try to shortcut getting right by assuming all southern towns, as well as all southern accents are the same. Well they're wrong; no matter how much they might believe Carroll O'Conner in 'The Heat of the Night' and Andy Griffith talk the same; they don't. Roma Jean Fremont the girl who continually falls down around Doctor Maddie Stevenson isn't fall down funny but is a nice little humorous aside. This is one of the better audiobooks I've listened to for awhile; great story. Great chemistry between characters w/LOL moments Good story with lots of colorful characters and interesting plot lines. Really liked the chemistry between Mattie and Syd. While I know the story continues into the book Aftermath, I almost wish McMan had decided to expand on and flush out several of the storylines more completely. Ultimately I think this could have been split things up into 2+ books. Might have read smoother in the last 1/3 of the book where there was a lot going on and things being brushed over. That said, I still highly recommend this book as a great listen. Found myself relating to many things. Awesome This story is awesome you will laugh the characters are great and the storyline is exciting and refreshing.One of the best audiobooks I have listen to in long time. Great read Don't miss this one! Jericho is a delightful story of love that dares to speak its name in the heart of Dixie. sweet coming out story. Enjoyable. Pleasant, really sweet coming out story. I recommended. Positive lesbian characters. Good narration.

Title: The Heart of Texas Subtitle: Texas Series, Book 1 Author: RJ Scott Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Love Lane Books Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 259 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, is a young man who seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons; but a stipulation is attached to Riley's portion. Concerned about Riley's lack of maturity, his father requires that Riley 'marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves'. Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him for love suits Riley's purpose. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival. Win win. Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right. This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means. Members Reviews: Irritable Cowboy + Hot Metrosexual = true love! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Definitely. It's not only a well written story with likeable characters, it's given the "Crisden Effect" What other book might you compare The Heart of Texas to and why? It reminds me a bit of Saving Seth and Forgiving Thayne by JR Loveless. The characters have similarties as does the storyline, though these two books are Shifters, there is a Cowboy sherrif in that series that so reminds me of Jack. Have you listened to any of Sean Crisdens other performances before? How does this one compare? I have, I purchase Audiobooks simply because he narrates them. This one is just as amazing as always, love Crisden's various vocal tones and attention to finite details. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Irritable Cowboy + Hot Metrosexual = true love! Any additional comments? I am so in love with this series. I immediately got book 2 and started it when I finished this one and now that I've finished 2 I'm ready to dive into 3! Fans of the Author and Narrator of course you'll want to listen. But if you like sexy cowboys that are full of piss and vinegar, awkward and unsure but fiercely loyal pretty boys that know what they want, but are terrified to go after it, go ahead and grab this one you'll love it! great story this story had it all! Love, betrayal, murder! loved the narrators deep sexy voice! was well writen. I've read the book years ago and loved that as well! Don't judge a book by its description! I had seen this book in my reccomended list for quite a while and just wasn't that interested in the description. I hate books where the Mc is a d0uche, for lack of a better term, and the other Mc still falls in love with him and/or stays with him and that's exactly what this sounded like. Boy was I wrong! Yes Riley is flawed, but there are reasons behind what he does, and you may want to smack him upside the head sometimes but he never makes you dislike him.

Title: Something Like Spring Subtitle: Something Like..., Book 4 Author: Jay Bell Narrator: Kevin R. Free Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-15 Publisher: Jay Bell Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 329 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Nothing in this world is permanent. Friends, lovers, even family can all disappear in the blink of an eye. Without these anchors, it's all too easy to find oneself drifting. Jason Grant doesn't have much, aside from a beat-up old guitar and knack for getting kicked out of foster homes. His latest placement is set to be just another in a long line of failures. Then he meets Caesar Hubbard, a handsome guy who lives down the hall. For the first time in his life, Jason wants to stay, which means learning to be part of a family, and not letting his feelings - or his actions - ruin his first real chance of falling in love. Something Like Spring introduces a new character to the Seasons story, one with a troubled past and an equally turbulent future. Jason must traverse a winding road fraught with emotional conflicts and tough decisions - a road that might just lead to a certain couple in Austin. Members Reviews: Closure . . .sort of Just amazing. So with this book we come full circle with Tim and Ben and am introduced to Jason Grant and others who will show up on future books. Jason is a wonderful young man that starts off as a jaded, but remarkably laid back, foster case for Michelle (Jace's sister). They forge a special bond as she seeks a family for him. My only issue with Jason is he just doesn't seem to know his worth and keeps just "putting up" with stuff instead of demanding what he wants. Although primarily about Jason's journey and search for love, we are treated with all our old friends from previous books. Except for Victor, thank god; I'm sorry I'm still really mad at him. But I digress. Not all the old friends are good ones and there is some drama. This book has trademark Jay Bell wonderful writing and storytelling; yes it is possible to love more than one person. But this one is a lot lighter than the previous books. Don't get me wrong, tears do flow, especially in the last 20% of the book; but they are happy tears. I so glad that Kevin R Free continues to narrate this series. He does his usual amazing job. All and all, it is Something Like Wonderful. After Winter must come Spring... What did you love best about Something Like Spring? Ben and Tim! Lol, I loved the plot of the story and that it introduced us to a completely new story in the series as well as expanded on Ben and Tim's story. What was one of the most memorable moments of Something Like Spring? Ryan shooting Tim. At first, I felt like it was unnecessary to reintroduce Ryan into the series. But, I understood that he was a catalyst for Jason realizing his feelings for Ben and Tim. I thought that Cesar was going to be the Paramedic that came to the scene to take Tim to the hospital, but that wasn't the case. What about Kevin R. Frees performance did you like? Kevin has been consistent throughout the series. If you could rename Something Like Spring, what would you call it? I would've named this book Something Like Home. Yea, I know it's cliche but, Jason was always sort of in search of a family and home and he finally found that towards the end. Any additional comments? Throughout Spring, there was a feeling that the characters in this book sort of paralleling the characters of Summer. For instance, Jason was our Ben, Cesar was our Tim, and William was our Jace.

Twelve years ago, Edwin Tully came to Oxford and fell in love with a boy named Marius. He was brilliant. An artist. It was going to be forever. Two years ago, it ended. Now Edwin lives alone in the house they used to share. He tends to damaged books and faded memories, trying to build a future from the fragments of the past. Then the weather turns, and the river spills into Edwin's quiet world, bringing with it Adam Dacre from the Environment Agency. An unlikely knight, this stranger with roughened hands and worn wellingtons, but he offers Edwin the hope of something he thought he would never have again. As the two men grow closer in their struggle against the rising waters, Edwin learns he can't protect himself from everything - and sometimes he doesn't need to try. Members Reviews: A lovely story about believing in one's ability to love again. Fantastic! Waiting for the Flood is one of my favorite novellas and I am so pleased with what the audiobook brought to the whole experience. Alexander Doddy did a lovely job bringing this wonderful story to life and I know that this will become one of those books I listen to quite a few times. A book made for audio This is an amazing, quiet, gentle story that comes alive in audio in a wholly satisfying way. I will listen to this over and over. Beautiful words presented perfectly by a lovely narrator from who I hope to hear a lot more. What a treat to listen to What a treat! Alexis Hall is such a wonderful writer. This is a short story about grief and self discovery set in the back drop of potential flooding in England. There really is no "action" in the story and it is a slow burn. Both the MCs have great warmth and depth and there are wonderful supporting character that just made this story great. This is anew narrator for me and he does an excellent job. The combination of Mr. Hall's writing and the wonderful narration, really made this a joy to listen to. So, so rich, fulfilling This is my second book by this author. I fell in love with him after listening to Glitterland. This book is different but still so enjoyable. It's melancholy but not in a down way, just quiet. And the source of its richness is varied and immense. So many times, while listening, I thought, "I should use that as an example of its richness." But I kept thinking that, and, therefore, would've ended up quoting the whole book as examples of its richness. I think the author has something for everyone, but this book may not be for everyone. But if it's your flavor, you can hardly find better. I felt the same way about Glitterland too. But the latter was considerably more sexual. This book has nothing beyond kissing and minor words of desire near the end. Narrated by Alexander Doddy Any additional comments? Alexander Doddy was absolute perfection as Edwin and Adam. Finally, a young British voice that I've been desperate to hear happened in this sweet charming tale of a young man taking a chance at happiness again. Everything was done right with this story and I so want more of a story with Edwin and Adam's happily ever after. Alex...Alex...Alex! Alexander Doddy's accent, the sweetness of his voice, and that deep melodic timber at moments had butterflies fluttering around in my belly. I swear I could just listen to him speak all night long.

A month after Tristan's embarrassingly public meltdown, another chance meeting with Gabe sparks a warm, emotionally fulfilling email relationship. Both men crave more but fear of the next step stands between them - until Tristan gets the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial that could improve his memory. Members Reviews: Good story but... I read this book when it first came out and love this whole series. I was looking forward to the audio. I enjoyed it but the narrator could have been better. He was so monotone. But it didn't ruin it. I love all Arthur's stories. Not as good as Book 1 This was one of those weird times where I didn't like the narrators' performance as much in this book as the previous book. This is Tristan and Gabe's story, two men we met in Book 1. Although technically this is a stand alone, I really don't think you can enjoy it as much unless you listen to Book 1. Noel and Shane are prominent in this story. I enjoyed MC and their courtship, Tristan's struggle with his health issues and Gabe and Noel's friction. I think the story was longer than it had to be with Gabe's family drama thrown it. But the only real issue I had was with the narrator's performance of Gabe's voice. I really hated it; he sounded like a doofus IMHO. Also, the author's overuse of the word "definitely" really grated on my nerves after a while. I kept hearing that little girl from the kid's show Dragon Tales in my head; she says definitely a lot. Granted, that is just me and probably not something other listeners will have a problem with. Overall, a good installment, but I don't think I will continue the series. Narration I was so distracted by this terrible narration I couldn't get past the first chapter.I felt like I was in first grade again...See spot see spot run .OMG Sweet Book! I really liked this book. I loved Tristan's character, he's someone you want to jump into the book and just Hug. lol. And I am really Glad that Gabe is fine with Tristan's memory loss issues and that it doesn't affect their relationship too much. I was also happy with the fact that Tristan is ok with Gabe's Job in the porn industry as well. That was a happy plus to the story. Not too much angst in this book like the first one it was the perfect amount of everything. This is my favorite so far from this series. Audio - Again Guy does a great job with this one. I really liked his voice for Tristan on this one and had no problem following along with the story at all.

Title: Winter Kill Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-15 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 243 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Clever and ambitious, Special Agent Adam Darling (yeah, he's heard all the jokes before) was on the fast track to promotion and success until his mishandling of a high profile operation left one person dead and Adam "on the beach". Now he's got a new partner, a new case, and a new chance to resurrect his career, hunting a legendary serial killer known as the Crow in a remote mountain resort in Oregon. Deputy Sheriff Robert Haskell may seem laid-back, but he's a tough and efficient cop - and he's none too thrilled to see feebs on his turf - even when one of the agents is smart, handsome, and probably gay. But a butchered body in a Native American museum is out of his small town department's league. For that matter, icy, uptight Adam Darling is out of Rob's league, but that doesn't mean Rob won't take his best shot. Members Reviews: Well... I I would have to say that this story was interesting. I thought that the pace was pretty slow so when it picked up I was pretty excited. The relationship between two main characters kind of danced around each other. The narrator's voice was a little on the dry side but after you can look past that it turns out to be a really good story. if you like a good mystery story with a little gay romance ,but not much,then this is the store for you. I would have to say the most exciting part about this book was trying to put the clues together to figure out who killed who and what was going to happen next. Like I said earlier, I'm not lying about the pace being pretty slow. So if you are patient it's worth the wait towards the end but if you're not then this book probably isn't for you. Nice mystery and great performance This is another really nice Josh Lanyon mystery. Adam (who was first introduced in Fair Game) is a "disgraced" FBI agent who screwed up an assignment and as a result is put on "morgue" patrol chasing a serial killer. This investigation leads him to rural Oregon where he meets Deputy Robert. Although the mystery they are investigating is dominant in the story, the romance between the men is also very present. They start out as convenient f**k buddies and through working together and some pretty hairy situations, romance blooms. There is also a solid cast of supporting characters which really adds to the story. This is a HFN ending, but it was satisfying. I hope to see a sequel with this couple in the future. Gomez Pugh is masterful in his performance. He is a favorite narrator and really delivers. Of course it's fantastic! Josh, a fantastic storyteller, and Gomez, a fantastic teller of stories! This powerful combo of talent should just be an auto-buy for lovers of great mystery with m/m undertones. The only regret is the wait period between installments. Almost gave up on this one too Josh...but didn't.. Any additional comments? The story is you..definitely you, thank goodness especially after the last one I read of yours. This got better after the first 4 chapters...so Dear Reader, I'd say go for it and hang in there until the end. I really like Gomez reading your books, Josh. Amazing writer! I am a 46 yr old straight and married mom and I just love this guys writing! Excellent character development, intriguing plots and the ROMANCE! Love IS Love. Thank you Josh for bringing me along!

And Adam, nursing a broken heart, has no interest in a relationship. Still, neither man can deny their instant attraction. Tony didn't become a SEAL by accepting rejection, and his pursuit of Adam leads to one unforgettable night. But the next morning, Tony is ordered to ship out to Afghanistan, and he's forced to leave Adam with too much left unsaid. As Tony enters a dangerous war zone, Adam, back in Los Angeles, struggles with the demons of his past while dealing with the very real possibility that Tony could be killed in action.

Members Reviews: Tony & Adam is just what it means This novella is an installment in Brockmann's Troubleshooters Series that covers the beginning of Tony & Adam's relationship. I like the expanding & linking of the story of two of her characters. Because I'm not gay, I would not have purchased as a stand-alone book. I do, however, support the author & story because I believe in love. In all it's positive, supportive, fulfilling manifestations. "Above all, there is love". Lawlor has been with the series from the beginning and has become its voice. Well written and narrated Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend because. I love Suzanne Brockmann, a awesome writer and great stories. I love this book and the characters. I love happy endings, especially about two gay men. What did you like best about this story? The connection between Tony & Adam, and the love at first site. Which scene was your favorite? The ending when Adam goes to Tony hospital bed. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I did listen to it in one setting just as I first read it in one setting. All Suzanne's books are like that. Any additional comments? I just want to keep saying I love Suzanne's books, they are great and the narrator of this book did a great job.

Title: Infinite Loop Author: Meghan OBrien Narrator: Eva Christensen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 260 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Regan ORiley has just about given up hope that she will ever find a woman into shy, geeky programmers. She yearns for a connection, but can't seem to make the first move. Mel Raines knows all about making moves. After a childhood under the thumb of her alcoholic father, she avoids intimacy by drowning herself in fiery, fleeting encounters with strangers. When Regan and Mel meet in a straight bar, of all places, their chemistry is unmistakable. Before they can begin to explore their new relationship, Mels world is rocked when a close friend is a victim in a shooting. Regan suggests they take a road trip to escape reality for a little while, and Mel is only too ready to shake things up. Together they embark upon a physical and emotional journey where they discover that breaking free of old habits may be the only way to change your life. Members Reviews: Despite These Problems This is the third Meghan O'Brien novel I've purchased from Audible; and the weakest. There are far too many long poignant declarations of love. Both of the protagonists prattle on these endless declarations of self deprecation; making statements that proclaim "I'm not worthy; I'm not worthy. Then there the long detailed play-by-play renditions of rather Vanilla sexual encounters that do little to move the story forward. So I hated it right? Wait (you just checked my rating) how is I gave this book I hated 4 out of 5 stars? Because Meghan O'Brien did an absolutely great job of creating two likable yet human leading ladies that you have no trouble getting behind and pulling for. The brief snatches of back-story the author supplies are an excellent for providing context into the characters. Their interactions with friends and family likewise offer insight into who Mel and Regan are and how it influences the people they became. The relationship between Regan and her straight friend Adam is a particularly good one. So though there are plenty of flaws in this narrative; it is still a good story with plenty of sympathetic likable characters. Worth the credit. WORTH EVERY MINUTE What made the experience of listening to Infinite Loop the most enjoyable? Not only is it eloquently written, but the story is beautiful. Too often, books with lesbian protagonists are clique, tragic, or heartbreaking: "Infinite Loop" shatters this notion. It is cheesy at times, but I enjoyed every moment. It's a modern love story you don't want to miss. What was one of the most memorable moments of Infinite Loop? The characterization is remarkable, and the sex is epic. Any additional comments? I am officially giving this book to anyone who asks me how two women can fall in love.. or the all to often question, how two women can have sex. Infinite Loop The story was okay, I did not enjoy it as much partly due to there not being any major action or danger or deceit. I felt it was a slow going story. Both of the main characters over came some emotional issues but there was no suspense. I enjoy a good love story with suspense or twisted conflicting issues. If you are in search of a love story that is easy going and has much love making then this is the story for you. Unrealistic Where do I start. I was drawn to the stories description of a geeky lesbian, I can relate to that. Regan is like me, a shy geeky gamer who gets dragged out to social investments that arent easy to be in. She gets picked up by Mel and hit it off.

Title: Reign of the Fallen Author: Sarah Glenn Marsh Narrator: Alex McKenna Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: An LGBT fantasy series that follows a talented necromancer who must face down a deadly nemesis who has learned how to turn her magic into a weapon. Odessa is one of Karthia's master necromancers, catering to the kingdom's ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it's Odessa's job to raise them by retrieving their souls from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised - the Dead must remain shrouded, or risk transforming into zombie-like monsters known as Shades. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, the grotesque transformation will begin. A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears among Odessa's necromancer community. Soon a crushing loss of one of their own reveals a disturbing conspiracy: someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead - and training them to attack. Odessa is faced with a terrifying question: What if her necromancer's magic is the weapon that brings Karthia to its knees? A lavish fantasy with a surprising and breathtaking LGBT romance at its core, Reign of the Fallen is a gutsy, unpredictable listen that will grab listeners by the throat and never let go.... Members Reviews: I need the sequel! An unforgettable, action packed, fast paced read. This mesmerizing book has it all! Rich world building, characters I couldn't help but fall in love with, conflict, romance and a protagonist who's epic journey I was completely immersed in. This is one addicting read! I devoured this book in one sitting. I really enjoyed the unique premise and it's alluring story. There's something about this story, Odessa's character and her journey, along with Sarah's writing that makes it incredibly hard to put this book down. Not to mention the beautiful message found within the story. The world building is stunning. It's incredibly easy to visualize Odessa's interesting world. Odessa is a character I really liked. She's complex, reckless, independent, fierce, strong, and flawed. Her flaws are what make her relatable. Her strength is what is what I admired, and her independence is something I respected. She's also so much more than that. She's beauty, and she's grace. She's not afraid to stand up for herself, including what she believes in, and those she loves. To match Odessa's fierceness is a whole world full of incredible women. They aren't afraid to just be who they are, and they can fight too! There's something empowering when reading about female characters who are who they are, and they don't make excuses for it. I absolutely loved this aspect of the story. I'm a strong supporter of books who introduce me to strong, imperfect heroines who not only deal with love, loss, and finding themselves, they also support each other. Marsh has created a story that's truly fascinating. There are so many elements that are added to the story that don't overwhelm it, but instead help make this story what it is. The necromancer element of the story is great, and the diversity is awesome. I really enjoyed the surprising romance in this story. Odessa is a character who knows grief, as much as she has known love. Part of her story is realizing that it's possible for to fall in love again, though it's not quite how she excepted it, which makes it all the more exciting. I absolutely loved this book.

Title: Guarding Morgan Subtitle: Sanctuary, Book 1 Author: RJ Scott Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-15 Publisher: Love Lane Books Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 132 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Morgan Drake is the only witness to a murder in an alleyway. Nik Valentinov works for Sanctuary, a foundation offering witness protection to anyone whose safety is compromised. Morgan discovers a bodyguard's arms can offer more than protection. Morgan is the only person who can give evidence for prosecuting the cop responsible for the crime. When the FBI safe house where he's being held is compromised, he follows the instructions of the agent in charge and runs. Nik Valentinov works for Sanctuary, a foundation that offers witness protection when FBI security is questionable. When Morgan's handler sends him to Nik for safety, neither Morgan nor Nik could imagine that two weeks alone in a cabin in the woods would have their hearts racing with something much more than merely trying to keep Morgan alive. Members Reviews: Suspenseful and intriguing. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would. It was well written and equally well told. What did you like best about this story? The mystery. What does Sean Crisden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The Crisden effect! If you could rename Guarding Morgan, what would you call it? I don't understand this question, what's wrong with the title? Any additional comments? After Morgan Drake witness' a woman being shot in an alley, his life is forever changed. In witness protection his location is compromised, as well as his safety, so his handler contacts a friend he served in the military with to take over guarding Morgan. Shot, confused, scared and suffering from nightmares due to what he saw, Morgan doesn't transition to the new arrangement smoothly. Nik Valentinov thinks there is more to the story than what Morgan is telling him at the start. It doesn't take long for Nik to realize Morgan is being completely honest, and the young man is terrified that the shooter or the person that issued the kill order will find him and do the same to Morgan. It is the root cause of the nightmares. Being confined to the safe house in close quarters, it doesn't take long for a mutual attraction to form. Nik valiantly attempts to ignore his attraction to Morgan, that is until Morgan takes the lead and makes the first move. This was a fast paced, action packed read. The flow of the story moved evenly and the characters fit well from the start. Morgan was timid, shy and scared until Nik refused his advances. Then Morgan became the aggressor. Nik is convinced that he can't protect Morgan and sleep with him at the same time, very Kevin Costner in the Bodyguard. But he can't deny the attraction and the pull, the two of them seem to gravitate to each other regardless. Narrated by Sean Crisden and I absolutely loved the voices he gave the characters. Morgan goes from scared and uncertain to someone that is confident and determined by the end. Nik is the strength, the one always in control, until Morgan gets under his skin. Crisden really conveyed all these emotions with tone and inflection, even capturing the vulnerability in Nik there at the end. Definitely a must listen, anything by Sean Crisden is going to be good. But then you have his voice bringing the words RJ Scott painstakingly put on paper and the result is simply flawless.

Title: PsyCop Briefs, Volume 1 Author: Jordan Castillo Price Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: JCP Books LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 136 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Victor Bayne sees dead people for a living...and he sees them off the clock, too. After all, ghosts don't confine their appearances to a psychic medium's work hours. From the macabre to the mundane, from titillating to tender, these PsyCop shorts feature stolen moments between the novels. Get a glimpse of Vic's life with Jacob between cases, from both men's viewpoints. Gain new insight on their psychic talents by accompanying them on odd jobs, shopping runs and family visits, or simply enjoy some downtime in the cannery. The 20short works range in length from flash fiction to novelettes, woven together to create a novel-length narrative of Vic and Jacob's relationship from a fresh perspective. The stories are gleaned from various sources: anthologies, newsletters, and web, with four all-new pieces to tie the collection together and delve deeper into your favorite PsyCops' domestic life. Members Reviews: So glad to see more of these guys! First, the timeline Jordan gives us helps with understanding both the flow and order of these stories. A Rough Timeline The PsyCop shorts differ from the main series in various ways: tone, pacing, even subject matter. Some of them dont fit neatly into a specific slot in the series. Some of them may even contradict small facts from the main books. Theyre tangents, really, bits of story that would warp the pacing of a longer book, but things that seemed to be worth exploring. Coffee OClock takes place soon after Among the Living, when Vics relationship with Jacob was still tenuous and new. A few months elapsed before Thaw, so it would be set betweenBody & Soul and Secrets. So would Stroke of Midnight, their first New Years together. No Sale is the first story that takes place after they move in to the cannery, so its after Secrets and Camp Hell. Most Likely To, Let the Chips Fall, Off the Cuff and Memento all occur after the move-in. Vics baking effort marks their first anniversary together, so Piece of Cake occurred just after GhosTV. In the Dark, which expands on Jacobs relationship with Keith, would be their second Halloween together, which puts it between GhosTV and Spook Squad. That would make Everyones Afraid of Clowns a future Halloween. The stories where Vic tangles with Crash happened closer to the beginning of their friendship. Mind Reader would be pretty early, in the Fall just after Criss Cross, but in Jock Straps theyre more comfortable together, so its the next Spring, after Body & Soul. Since Lisa is in town with Waiting Game, it happened during the gap between GhosTV and Spook Squad, which was the longest continuous stretch she was in Chicago. In Impact, Jacob is beginning to explore his own abilities, so thats after Camp Hell. Wood and On the Road are set around the holidays of their second winter, and Vic is at ease with Jacobs family by then, so they occur after Spook Squad, as do Locked and Loaded and Witness. Inside Out is a prequel set before Among the Living, but it wouldnt be as interesting to read it chronologically.

Spending his days at his adult toy store, Rods-N-Ends, he never knows who he'll meet. The second Landon Harrison walks in, he has Rod's full attention. It seems as if Landon wants him too, so why won't the man jump in the sack with him already? Landon never thought he'd return home to the town where memories lurk around every corner. He has to admit, Rod makes the adjustment a lot easier. He keeps Landon laughing. Despite the fierce attraction between them, he's not willing to risk his newfound friendship to get laid. Neither man wants something serious, but the more they're together, the harder it is to keep their hands to themselves, until eventually they stop trying. But flings between friends are never simple, and as they attempt to shift gears, diving into their first relationship, they're slammed with setbacks. If they want to truly move forward, before they hit the open road together, they're going to have to let go of a past that could make them crash and burn. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: take a chance If you could sum up Shifting Gears in three words, what would they be? loving, Passionate/sexy What other book might you compare Shifting Gears to and why? don't really want to compare because yes some of the previous characters from another story are used..the fact is Landon and Rod are there own men with there own story What about Sean Crisdens performance did you like? the way that he always lets u know who he is, he never makes u think you will not know who is speaking as Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? i laughed and I cried but I also related soon much to there story and because of that I knew these guys Any additional comments? I hope Mr Hart keeps writing because his passion and his love are fantastic and he is one hell of a story teller Great story, annoying narration I love the simple, beautiful story, but the narrator's fake, squeaky attempt at sounding feminine when reading the lines of the women (and the bottom!) annoys the hell out of me. Good story I enjoyed the story. I've pretty much loved all the Riley Hart books. But I was turned off by the way Sean Crisden chose to give voice to Rod. High pitched, loud and nasally. Nothing sexy about that. But still, the story is a good one and I did listen to the entire thing. Don't love the reader, but a great series Any additional comments? The reading of Rod's voice is annoying, and makes it hard to like the character Okay story but didn't love the characters Any additional comments? For some reason I didn't really connect with the characters in this second book of the series. I still like the writing style, and it was nice reconnecting with the persons from the first book. Im not convinced it was bad writing, I feel that I am perhaps a bit over the whole my dad left so I have trouble trusting relationships, so I require excellence when that trope is in use. Anyway worth a listen for sure.

Joining their Dallas Police Department pals Casey O'Connor and Leslie Tucker in a rented RV, they set out for the New Mexico mountains - and on a collision course with a manhunt. FBI agents Cameron Ross and Andrea Sullivan are tracking a deadly quarry in desolate territory. An ex-teammate from Cameron's Special-Ops days is in deep hiding, planning who-knows-what to cap off a killing spree. With a hostage at stake and time running out, Cameron reluctantly agrees to outside help from women she doesn't know...or trust. In the crossover that fans have been clamoring for, it's a heart-pounding race against time that challenges the courage and commitment of the exceptional women from Gerri Hill's Hunter's Way and Devil's Rock Series. Members Reviews: Just Okay The premise was good; the relationship between Sam and Angel was nuanced and well done and there were parts of the law enforcement portion was done pretty well too. On the other hand the 'butch' pair of of Tori and Cameron were so prototypical for both the classic butch and for movie or TV FBI agents it was sad. That goes for some of the scenes with the other agents too. At some point millennials really have to start doing lesbian fiction and give some of the lame cliches and storylines the merciful death they deserve. The same goes for the stereotypes that fill those books; until then selections like this will have to do. Another hit By Hill I loved the book. I wish O Connor and her Girlfriend played a bigger role in the story. It kept me ingaged and interested. although it would of been nice for the story to follow Tori and Sam home , and to see how Andi and Cameran got along after the case closed. So with all that ... it is still an excellent crossovers book.... a must read for sure. Great combination! I love Gerri Hill's series' with Tori and Sam, Andrea and Cam, and her other series. Abby Craden does a fantastic job of narrating. I only wish there were more of Gerri Hill's books on Audible. I've been buying Gerri Hill's books for about 13 years. She's a great story teller. Definitely recommend. Predictable I liked the fact characters from 2 other books came together for this story, but plot was very predictable. Love Abby Craden narration. Great read Several of my favorite characters come together to work a case. A great listen from start to finish. Love all of Gerri hills' books.

Not only must she deal with the dangerous consequences of the natural disaster, she has to fight her soul-shattering need for the woman she left behind. While Reese Conlon and Tory King deal with the challenges of a community in turmoil, a new threat emerges that proves to be even more deadly than the ravaging storm. A silent killer stalks the night, drawing ever closer to the one woman he believes to be his. Soon, no woman is safe, including Tory. The sixth in the Lambda Literary Award-winning Provincetown Tales. Members Reviews: Not As Good As The Others Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, I love Nicol Zanzarella's narration. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? The stalker/killer would have been someone different Which character as performed by Nicol Zanzarella was your favorite? Allie Tremont, without a doubt. Nicol Zanzarella does an amazing job with her voice. Did Returning Tides inspire you to do anything? No. Any additional comments? I was a little disappointed in this installment of the Provincetown tales. Too predictable and I had trouble with who the stalker/killer turned out to be. Wasn't much of a surprise there. I also thought that a little more time could have been spent on Allie and Ash. Especially when you consider the way Ash left Allie. Over all good just not as good as the others. It's Radclyffe...What's Not to Like What did you love best about Returning Tides? Women falling in love! Who was your favorite character and why? I don't have a favorite. The author has a way of making the leading couples heroines. What about Nicol Zanzarellas performance did you like? Listening to Nicol is effortless. She doesn't take anything away from the book, in fact, she gives it life. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. If I had the time, I would listen to the entire series in one sitting. Any additional comments? For me, these books equate to the Harlequin romance novels women read when I was growing up. Provides a great escape from the mundane. Radclyffe continues to amazes with her P-Town Tell Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? .Yes, the continuing tells of the small town of P-Town are so exciting. You have Tory and Reese who is trying to solve the murder of an FBI agent in her town without the help of the FBI who are being jerks about helping out. And she has the help of Carter Wayne who has joined the P-town police. So Carter and Rita are back. So is Carolina and Bree. And Ashley and Alley seem to final work things out but it takes them a lot of work to do it. And some hot bedroom scenes. Which is Radclyffe's bread and butter highlights of all her books. But there is also lots of plot and tenderness, and love. And a nice mystery throw in to keep you guess until the end. Who was your favorite character and why? Carter Wayne is my favor character in this behind Reese of coarse. It's hard to beat Tory and Reese out for favorite. That just goes without saying but I like the depth Radclyffe gave Carter in this book along with Ashley Walker.

Cooper Narrator: Ron Herczig Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 131 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Honorable Mention for Best LGBT Cover in the 2011 Rainbow Awards. Being a police detective is hard. Add the complication of being a werewolf subject to human prejudice, and you might say Ray Branigan has his work cut out for him. He's hot on the trail of a killer when he realizes he needs help. Enter Cal Parker, the beautiful half fairy Ray's secretly been in love with for years - secretly because while werewolves mate for life, fairies...don't. Ray needs Cal's expertise, but it isn't easy to concentrate with his mate walking around half naked, trying to publicly seduce him. By the time Ray identifies the killer - and sorts out a few prejudices of his own - it may be too late for Cal. Members Reviews: Narrative issue I could not get passed the monotone voice. I'm sure the book would have been enjoyable with a better narrator. Horrible The narrator is so horrible the voice so monotone I felt like I was listening to my high school science teacher Creative and cute story, so so narration Ray is a grumpy werewolf cop whose found his mate in Cal- the flighty half-fairy and hes fighting it because hes afraid of getting hurt. In addition, theres a paranormal mystery to solve (a murder!). ** Cal and Ray dance around each other for most of the book. Their dialog is amazingly entertaining, and highly frustrating at times. R Cooper gives us a rich, complex world and a dense and involved tale even though its a relatively short story. Ray is funny and grumpy and growly and Cal is (on the surface) just flitting about but actually feels deeply. Theres glitter and wings and magic its a wonderful thing! Fans of the werewolves, magic, fairies and the paranormal will find a little bit of something in this to love. The romance is sweet and satisfying. Audio: Ron Herczig isnt my favorite narrator. He has a way of ending each sentence on an up note that gets in the way of my full enjoyment. However, he does a fantastic job with voices and dialog and I really enjoy that aspect of his story-telling. For the book and the narration 4 of 5 stars Yuck! I have to give this one star. the narration was so bad I could not even understand what was going on with the story. the truth is it might be a good story but the narration is so bad there's no way to know. Terrible narration There is on other word but drones for the narrators voice. Might have actually enjoyed the story but for that.

Fast Connection Audiobook by Megan Erickson, Santino Hassell

They don't know I've been spending my days trying to figure out my post-military life. Including how to pick up guys. When I meet Luke on a hookup app, he makes it clear it's for one night only. That's fine with me, because I'm down to see what this silver fox can do. But after I arrive at his doorstep, it doesn't take long to realize we have serious chemistry, and we end up meeting again. He's got more walls around his heart than a military base, but I think he's as addicted to me as I am to him. He can't resist me for long. I mean, who can? Except Luke's rules exist for a reason, and when I test his limits, things get complicated. Maybe too complicated. Critic Reviews: "I adore both Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell in their separate writing pursuits, but as Megtino they are unstoppable. Fast Connection is another winner in the Cyberlove series, which began with Strong Signal." (Fiction Vixen) Members Reviews: LOVED the story...not the narration. Any additional comments? 2.5 stars for the narration, but 5 stars for the story. Let me start with the positive which is this is a FANTASTIC story! I devoured this book! It was SO GOOD! So many exclamations!! Seriously, though, Dominic is one of the best character turnarounds from dick to awesome dude that Ive ever read. The sex is scorching hot, the characters are awesome, the story is realistic without losing the romance story aspect and I loved it. Absolutely loved it! But I pretty much hated the narration. Its a very hard thing to pull off if there two or more narrators on a story. Its especially hard when the story is more dialogue driven. I wish in those cases the narrators would each choose a character and keep ONLY to that character voice and POV. The story would be much better served by that approach. Why? Well, here we have two narrators with wildly different approaches and who each take a POV chapter. So Guy Locke narrates all of Lukes chapters, and Eric London narrates all of Dominics. So whats the problem? It means you have 2 HUGELY different character voices FOR THE SAME CHARACTER. A total of four voices for two people. For me, in this case, it was often jarring and a bit off-putting while listening. Then, again, I had the same issues with Guy Lockes narration for Strong Signal for Fast Connection. Lockes narration just does not work for me. His stilted way of speaking, the too slow narration, the over enunciation were just maddening. There is one positive for Locke, though, as I did like his character voices. I enjoyed Londons pacing, timing, emotion, and overall performance.but Ill admit I preferred the character voices from Locke. I wish I could have melded Locke and London together so I could have the character voices from Locke, but the actual narration from London. In the end, it wasnt a horrible listening experience, but it wasnt a good one for me either. I doubt Ill listen to the audio again, which is a shame, because the story is terrific and I was hoping to put the series into my re-listen rotation. But I guess Ill have to be satisfied with just re-reading the book. I highly recommend the book, but caution for the narration. Love the Book. But the Narration...... Ok.

Title: Seasons of Love Subtitle: A Lesbian Romance Novel Author: Harper Bliss Narrator: Carmen Rose Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 04-30-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 180 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Alice McAllister is a successful solicitor who likes a quiet, disciplined life. But when her business partner, Miranda, forces her to take a vacation at her holiday home in Portugal, the presence of Miranda's daughter, Joy, turns Alice's world upside down. Despite their age difference, Alice and Joy embark on a fiery holiday romance...until they have to return home to London. Will Alice be able to forget about Joy and what she has awakened in her? And how can she face Joy's mother without guilt after such a passionate summer fling? Find out in this sultry new novel from the chart-topping author of Release the Stars, Once in a Lifetime, and At the Water's Edge. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Lesbian Age Gap Love Alice and Miranda are law partners; Miranda has to practically force Alice to go on Holiday to her villa in the south of Portugal. Then Miranda's daughter Joy decides that she needs a short vacation. Uptight Alice meets hedonistic Joy, conflict ensues, lust follows, lust so strong that it must be satisfied. Put that way it sounds simple but aren't all stories pretty simple when put in broad outline. The writing is well done and there are fewer of the contrived breakups and multiple cliches that litter many american romances. The natural problems of a relationship between a fifty year old and their friend and business partner's thirty year old daughter are explored as well as a couple of surprises. I'm not at all certain that this selection deserved five stars but I liked the fact that many of the genre's usual errors were avoided enough to raise it's ranking to the top number. Truly A Pleasure Harper Bliss really out did herself with this one! The narrator did an excellent job as well! The story line was very enjoyable. I did not want to turn this one off. Great listen if you are a Harper Bliss fan. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. More please! Wonderful sort of "coming of age" tale of self discovery at mid-life. Love this author. Awesome! This is the first book I've read by this author, but I was willing to take a chance. I'm glad I did. I look forward to reading more of her work. LOVE! I absolutely LOVED this book!! Endearing characters, hot love scenes, and just a beautiful love story!

Crippled by anxiety, she's determined to start a new, independent life. As second of the Wolfgang pack, Caden Wolfgang is used to having her orders followed without question. When the Alpha allows a human to work in the heart of their business, Caden is horrified. Haunted by a childhood tragedy at the hands of a human, Caden makes it her mission to keep Selena from threatening everything they've built. When contempt turns into attraction and passion flares, can their love survive Selena learning the truth of what the Wolfgangs really are? Members Reviews: I like the story but the narration... I always read the stories before the audio so my rating,is really for the audio. Overall, I liked Wascher's narration. She did a pretty good job with most of the characters and the reading but Cade's voice was...well...too manly that it sounded like a man the entire time. I just didn't fit what the character should have sounded. I mean Dante was the alpha wolf and sounded completely female. I don't know, that threw the entire narration off. So Son some of the dialogue delivery between Cade and Lena seemed off and a bit cheesy. If you liked the story then you will find the narration acceptable. Not the best but way better than some of the others. great story in spite of the reader reader was sub-par but the story was good, two of m favorite topics in the same book! Good Story I enjoyed the story, but the narration didn't really fit. The voices honestly did not fit the characters. Enjoyable. Formulaic as far as romances go, but with steady momentum and a constant, enjoyable theme centered surprisingly on the importance of family. Also... The fluidity of gender in the context of the werewolves is something I found particularly enjoyable. Jenny Frame is excellent!! I love this author and this book, but the narrator is all wrong. The narrator would be better suited for children's books, or something, her voice and inflections were too high pitched and upbeat all the time and inappropriate for a book with a certain aggressiveness or darkness that comes with werewolves. Anyway, the book/author are too good to keep me from listening to it, I just dealt with it. Jenny Frame knows how to convey the emotions of the characters, make you feel right along with them and love them. can't wait, hopefully, for a sequel or an offshoot.

Talking in Code Audiobook by Ariel Tachna

Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Some things crumble under pressure. Others are tempered by it instead. For three former soldiers, a tragedy might be the catalyst that binds them together - stronger than ever. Richard Horn and Timothy Davenport met in the SEALs 20 years ago, and have been lovers ever since. Now running their own paramilitary organization, Strike Force Omega, they work in the shadows to protect their country and its people. When Tim falls for Eric Newton, a deadly sniper and strategist on their team, Richard accepts that Tim's heart is big enough for two men. He respects, admires, and even desires Eric enough, to accept him into their relationship - and their bed - but he's never been fully a part of what Eric and Tim share. Then Eric is captured by terrorists and Tim is gravely injured in an op gone wrong, bringing Richard's world crashing down around his ears. Even if he gets his men out alive, Eric must face the aftermath of months of physical and psychological torture - and without Tim to lean on, Eric's PTSD is tearing him apart. Richard has to figure out the third leg of their triangle fast, or Tim won't have a life to come back to. Members Reviews: Great menage story This wasnt at all what I was expecting, but definitely not in a bad way. I gathered, from the blurb, that this was going to be about three strong men whod all had very rough lives learning to work with one another in a (relatively) new triad relationship and to a certain extent that it what this is about. But the story starts from a different perspective, a different point in their relationship and takes a different path than Id expected. Without giving any significant spoilers, I can say that Timothy is seriously hurt early on in the story and as a result he spends a lot of time unconscious. As a result most of the book is about Eric and Richard learning to be together without his presence. I think that ménage is tricky to write well if the person writing it is going after anything other than kinky sex scenes. Whether the relationship starts as an established couple plus someone new or all three people coming together for the first time, in order to be compelling, a connection must be made that shows not only love for each partner but a necessity for the triad for the entire thing to work. We start off at a distinct disadvantage in that the triad is already established, the main couple has been together for years, and we are only now seeing whats behind all that four years into the relationship. Ariel Tachna is a gifted story teller and she manages to bridge that gap gracefully without giving us a lot of flashbacks or info dumps. All three men are unique and have their own story to tell but they all felt fairly well-developed. I think the only thing missing was a better understanding of Timothy since he spent so much time out of the picture. I loved how our two MCs had to learn new ways to be with one another without that crucial addition of Timothy as hed been their glue all along. It wasnt easy but it was always open and we didnt spend a lot of time wishing theyd just talk. They did talk but sometimes that isnt always enough. There is plenty of hot sex here though the triad sex is kept to a minimum unfortunately. I was definitely compelled by this story and interested in following it all the way through, but I kept feeling like I was dropped in the middle of a bigger story.

Title: The Right Words Subtitle: Right and Wrong Book 1 Author: Lane Hayes Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 198 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Escaping an abusive relationship left Luke Preston anxious and spouting panic-induced poetry. Desperate for a fresh start, Luke accepts a job remodeling a tired old beach house for a professional soccer player and his model girlfriend. While his passion is literature, not sports, focusing on the renovations eases his anxiety. Until the job he signed up for turns out to be more complicated than advertised. Sidelined with a serious injury, soccer star Michael Martinez decides his beach house is the perfect place to recuperate. Remodeling might be the diversion he needs to keep his mind off his busted knee. Falling for the pretty designer with some quirky habits wasn't on the drawing board. Unfortunately, Luke didn't build a big enough closet for Michael to hide in. Having a star-powered sports career used to be all Michael lived for, but he'll have to reevaluate his plans and find the right words if he wants to build more than a beach house with Luke. Members Reviews: Sweet story This was a nice, sweet story of an out and proud interior designer meeting an in the closet soccer player. A little angst and a little family drama, but mostly sweet. If you like this author's other works, you will like this one. It only lost a star because I really never warmed up to Michael and really didn't like his uncle. Michael just didn't seem very warm or likeable to me. The story is told from Luke's POV, so maybe if I had heard Michael's POV, I would have felt differently. I loved Luke, and his best friend Brandon. They were funny, witty and wonderfully supportive of each other. I just didn't think Michael deserved Luke, even though the author had him FINALLY do the right thing in the end, it felt awkward. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. Absolutely dire - avoid, avoid. I'm really surprised this book ever got published. The plot is tedious and poorly constructed - nothing much happens for the first half of the book. The sex scenes are tepid and slightly cringeworthy and the main love interest is very unappealing. The narrator does a decent job but with such a poorly written novel to begin with..... I wish I had not invested so many hours of my life to listening to this. Good narration, fairly good book Luke is just out of an abusive relationship. Hes an English major who found design as an unexpected career change where hes got the talent but needs a job. He gets a hook up for a job through a friend to renovate a house of a professional soccer player, Michael. Michael is an injured pro who is deep in the closet. Hes got an ex who is blackmailing him for money by threatening to out him. At first Michael resists the renovation, but later changes his mind after meeting Luke. They keep the relationship strictly professional at first, but the attraction cant be denied. Between the blackmailing, Lukes issues, and Michaels reluctance to be an out professional athlete their relationship has a rocky start but the story ends on a very sweet, and romantic note. ** I fell in love with Lane Hayes through her Better Than Series. Ive enjoyed some of the other books in the Right and Wrong Series especially book two. I guess you could say shes hit or miss with me. I either really resonate with her characters or I dont at all. Unfortunately this falls more in the latter.

Title: Mending Noel Subtitle: North Pole City Tales, Book 1 Author: Charlie Cochet Narrator: Dave Gillies Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: All is not sparkly snowflakes and sweet candy canes in North Pole City. Office workers Tim and Noel do nothing all day but antagonize each other - petty fighting that might be based on hatred or a heated mutual attraction. It's up to Jack Frost and his elf-friend Rudy to broach the hostilities and introduce some Christmas kisses, but is the Frost Prince up to the challenge of launching a new romance when someone's trying to break his holiday spirit? A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2012 Advent Calendar package Evergreen. Members Reviews: Cute story but not amazing A very sweet holiday story... but was I the only one that thought Noel should have done way more groveling? I love holiday stories. Little seasonal tales of love and forgiveness never fail to put a smile on my face. This was a really cute audiobook about two North Pole workers. I was actually pretty impressed at the amount of world building involved in this story. This wasn't just a bunch of elves and Santa in the North Pole. There was a whole class system, a more sinister underbelly, and a police-type force in this fictional world. I enjoyed the whole light tone of the story, made even better by a very nice narration from Dave Gillies. My small issues with the story came with Noel's behavior. I thought that he was grumpy and juvenile to the point where I didn't see Tim's attraction to him at all. I wanted more emotion and more begging for forgiveness from Noel. I also thought that Tim was a bit of a wet noodle. He sort of took everything that Noel dished out and didn't have much of a backbone. Though the relationship dynamic between the two of them wasn't the strongest, I was still swept away by the story. It was fun escapism and a very nice way to spend an hour or two. It was a cheery listen and just right for the beginning of the holiday season. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Fun Holiday story! Would you consider the audio edition of Mending Noel to be better than the print version? I never read the print, I quite liked the audio though. Who was your favorite character and why? Tim, he was bound and determined not to be miserable, though Noel gave it a valiant effort to make sure he was most of the time. Which character as performed by Dave Gillies was your favorite? All of them, I loved all the different characters and what they brought to the story. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It did leave a smile on my face. Any additional comments? Mending Noel is a Christmas tale with a fun twist. All your favorite characters like Jack Frost, Rudy, the elves and toy soldiers are people in this version. North Pole City isn't all presents, pretty little elves filling Santa's sleigh and parties with spiked egg nog. Jack Frost is the closeted Prince in a hidden long term relationship with the fastest flyer in the land, Rudy Reindeer. When a couple of residents, Tim and Noel, stumble upon some traitors to the City that seem to be working with the Mouse King, they inadvertently bring Jack and Rudy in on their trouble. The four of them will have to set their differences aside and work together if they are going to save North Pole City from the Mouse King.

His peaceful lope through the forest turns into a nightmare when he witnesses his Alpha kill a pack member in cold blood. Now Declan is on the run from the very people who should be protecting him. Liam Anderson has never minded all the travel that comes with his position as a Beta to the Pennaeth Alpha. He's used the time to search far and wide for his mate. He never expected to find the man naked and scared on his back porch. Liam's overjoyed at finally finding the one man fated for him. Now if only he can get Declan to open up and trust him with the secrets he carries. Please note: This is a reedited second edition. Members Reviews: I'm so torn... Any additional comments? 4.5 stars for narration / 2 stars for story The one thing I really liked about this was the narration by Nick Flint. I will absolutely be checking out more of his work. As for the story, I'm easily annoyed by Griffin's continued emasculation of the bottom in the relationship. Seriously, can't both wolves be strong and masculine? No, the guy who bottoms (and consequently will eventually become pregnant if they have sex on a new moon) is always the weaker one and called by the sobriquets of "honey", "sweetheart" and "baby" (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and, worst of all, is usually depicted as having the kind of traits usually found to be ascribed to clichéd feminine characters (which is...for me). *sighs* Maybe I should quit trying to read Griffin's stories...but I really love shifter stories, especially with mpreg, and there *is* something about Griffin's writing that keeps drawing me back in, hopeful that this time it will be different... Look, if you liked her other series, you'll probably like this one. Mainly because it is following the same guideline as her Holland Brothers series. First book, "feminine" mate is claimed, second book: alpha will claim his broken mate who also happens to be the best friend (well, brother in this case as well) of the "feminine" wolf from book one. If you're into audio books, you should definitely check out the audio for this one - Nick was great. Loving the Australian flair If you could sum up Liam in three words, what would they be? Intense, Exciting, Adventurous What did you like best about this story? The way these two men were literally thrown into each other's paths after completely giving up on finding their mate What about Nick Flints performance did you like? Love the Australian accent. This is the first story I've listened to with a completely Australian voice. I really enjoyed the way he showed Declan's vulnerability and Liam's strength with the tones he gave them. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I liked how Liam was very gentle at the start, fully aware of what his mate had been through and not pushing to complete the mating right away. Any additional comments? Great story, aside from a couple things that happened that were a bit predictable I really enjoyed it and went straight to book 2 the same day. Short and sweet and sexy Liam is a Beta for the Pennaeth Alpha (most important in Australia). Hes excited to find his own mate, but fears itll never happen.

Title: A Kind of Romance Author: Lane Hayes Narrator: Seth Clayton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-27-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 212 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Zeke Gulden is a ruthless Wall Street exec. His hard-edged, no-nonsense attitude has served him well in the cutthroat business world, but less so in his personal life. When he finds out his ex-boyfriend cheated on him with a coworker, Zeke can't let go until he finds a way to get even. However, his meddlesome father has other ideas. The new hire at the family-owned bagel store is somewhat colorful, but his dad is sure he's the perfect man for Zeke. Benny Ruggieri is a fiercely proud New Yorker who dreams of making it big as a costume designer in the theater. In the meantime, he's working two part-time jobs in the food biz. When his new boss sets him up with his successful son, Benny has zero expectations. If nothing else, he figures he can entertain himself by making the uptight businessman squirm. Instead, the two become unlikely friends with an inexplicable attraction they can't ignore. Benny might be the one to help Zeke set aside his quest for revenge, if he's willing to let go and forgive what he can't forget and give in to an unexpected kind of romance. Members Reviews: No great accents, but great story Benny is a fabulous 23 year old who works both for his familys pizza place and at the Gulden family bagel place. In between he sews fabulous costumes and hopes to one day make it big on Broadway doing just that. He agrees to a date with Mr. Guldens son to placate the kind gentleman and to yank on Zekes chain a bit. Zeke is the only gay son of Mr. Gulden and hes never felt close to his dad. All his brothers went in to business with their dad, but Zeke struck out on his own to Wall Street where hes found fortune but still no luck in the love department. After recently being dumped spectacularly by his ex, Trevor, Zeke is NOT in the market for a relationship and if he was it would NEVER be with someone so OBVIOUS as Benny. He makes no bones about it and though he offends Benny, he agrees to a date to shut his dad up. When one pretend date, leads to another and another, it becomes clear that Zeke may not exactly be so certain what his type really is Benny isnt willing to put all his eggs in Zekes basket and is hedging his bets as well But after attending a wedding for Bennys cousin, things are beginning to look a lot less pretend and more forever after. ** This is an absolute WIN! Just like a Kind of Truth, there is a deeper story than just the love story (though that alone is fabulous!). In this case we get Zekes rift with his dad, his loss of his mother and his own inner acceptance of himself. Benny is more or less a solid, unflappable force, who only brings good things to Zekes life and acts as an anchor to help him from going adrift. The steam is less than Id expect, but perfect nonetheless. Most of the story is the delicious slow burn and the snarky comments between Zeke and Benny. Im hoping Carters story is next as he seems like a yummy enigma waiting to be explored. (It was!) I thoroughly enjoyed this and highly recommend it. (I hope that whoever they find to do the audio has a great grasp of Brooklyn accents!) 4.5 of 5 stars Audio Seth Clayton narrated the first book in this series and he is an excellent narrator. His voice is really smooth and easy to listen to.

Title: When Dreams Tremble Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 221 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Leslie Harris's visit to her upstate New York lakeside family home after a decade of triumphs and disappointment resembles a nightmare more than the quiet vacation she'd hoped for. The unexpected appearance of much-changed town girl, Devon Weber, with whom Leslie shares a secret that haunts them both, rekindles an old heart ache - and reminds Leslie of just why she left. Even though her attraction to Dev comes roaring back, the one thing Leslie doesn't want is to pick up where they left off, especially not when she already has just the life she wants - a rewarding high-power law practice, a condo in Manhattan, and a lover who satisfies her without demanding the intimacy Leslie avoids. Unfortunately, environmental biologist Devon Weber doesn't play by Leslie's rules. Two women whose lives turned out far differently than they'd once imagined discover that sometimes the shape of the future can only be found in the past - and love is strongest - When Dreams Tremble. Editorial Reviews: Passionate and deeply intimate, When Dreams Tremble is a story of an old love, rekindled. Leslie Harris thinks she has her life together until she runs into an old girlhood crush, the mysterious Devon Weber. Suddenly her relaxing vacation has turned into something far more serious. Coleen Marlo performs Radclyffe's romantic work with all of the requisite flourishes and emotion. Marlo's tone is charming and relatable, just the type of performer a romantic thriller such as this deserves! Members Reviews: really liked! this book was great! liked the characters(loved Devon). if I could have listened to it all in one day, I would have. nice love story. glad Devon finally got the girl she wanted:) Never disappointing Radclyffe always deliveries, great story, great narration. Every time I get a book written by radclyffe I know that it will be interesting, sexy, and well read. This one was exactly that: interesting, sexy and very well read. Enjoyable! I really enjoyed this book. The characters were believable and the performance was really good. I find myself listening to it again and again. I love Radclyffe's Books!!! this book made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me cheer!! Loved it!! Cultured "First Love" I've heard/read a few "high school sweetheart"/"renew first love" stories. Radclyffe's well-formed pros give the recognized pattern substance with strong, intelligent women in foreground as well as the background. The pattern might be recognizable, but the character development and conflict crafting is cultured and a reflection of the author's highly-educated sensibilities.

Title: Shades of Gray Author: Brooke McKinley Narrator: Paul Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-13 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 194 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Miller Sutton, a by-the-book FBI agent, is starting to see some troubling shades of gray in his black-and-white world. He comes face-to-face with his doubts in the person of Danny Butler, a mid-level drug runner Miller hopes to use to catch a much larger fish: Roberto Hinestroza, a drug lord Miller has pursued for years. Danny has no interest in being a witness against his boss, both out of a sense of twisted loyalty and because he knows double-crossing Hinestroza is a sure death sentence. But he reluctantly agrees to cooperate, and as he suspects, it doesnt take long for Hinestroza to figure out the betrayal. Miller is surprised to discover Danny's not the career-criminal lowlife he expected; at the same time, Danny finds himself helplessly attracted to Miller's innate goodness. They barely begin to explore the sparking attraction between them when Hinestroza's hitman tracks them down, and then they're on the run, both for their lives and for any kind of love. Members Reviews: Great book, great narrator If you could sum up Shades of Gray in three words, what would they be? Romantic action thriller What did you like best about this story? I loved the progression of the romance between Miller and Danny and the unpredictable turn it took. Have you listened to any of Paul Moreys other performances before? How does this one compare? I have listened to many of Paul Morey's performances and I love them all. His range and diversity of voices really makes listening to him a treat. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, but I have already read the book, I just wanted to hear Paul narrate the story. Any additional comments? This is a great story and I love the MCs. It has lots of action and some very uncomfortable violence, but it is necessary for the story. Drug dealing is a brutal business. I really wish there was a sequel. Yes! Would you consider the audio edition of Shades of Gray to be better than the print version? I read the book couple of years ago and it struck me as a brilliant piece of writing among hundreds and hundreds of mediocre M/M novels. So, I bought this audiobook the instant I saw it on Audible. I haven't listened to it yet, but judging by the preview it is going to be awesome in audio format as well. I desperately wish the author would write more! a tale of two halves The narrator was good. He really brought me along with this one. This story featured Danny Butler, a drug dealer who was pulled over on a weapons charge and the FBI was leaning on him to testify against his boss. After his boss sent some goons to silence him, Danny had to go on the run while waiting for the trial. FBI agent Miller Sutton was the FBI agent who worked tirelessly for 3 years to bring down the Crime Lord Hinestroza, so he wasn't going to let anything happen to his star witness Danny Butler. While on the run, Danny and Miller got to know each other and soon started sleeping together. There was a lot at stake as Miller is an FBI agent (with a fiancee) and Danny is a felon. The decks were stacked high, and soon Danny and Miller felt the weight of all their past choices, and it seemed like their love wouldn't survive. I loved the first half of the story, and the second half dragged a little bit. I think it was because the first half was the discovery of their love and while the second half was the discovery of the individuals as "gay" men (self discovery).

Femme Audiobook by Marshall Thornton

Title: Femme Author: Marshall Thornton Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-17 Publisher: Marshall Thornton Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 94 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Queeny cocktail waiter Lionel wakes up to find himself in bed with Dog, a straight-acting softball player, and the two embark on a rocky road to romance. A journey that requires coming out of the closet, going into the closet, a pair of red high heels, many pairs of red high heels, a failed intervention, a couple of aborted dates, and homemade pom-poms. Mostly, Lionel and Dog learn what it means to be a man. Finalist for the 2016 Lambda Award in Gay Romance Starred review at Publisher's Weekly Runner-up 2016 Rainbow Awards Gay Romantic Comedy Members Reviews: Great Heels, Better Romance... The red heels on the cover are appropriate for Femme, but the Really important part is that well deserved gold Lambda Literary Award medal for Best Gay Romance finalist. Femme is an enjoyable, funny m/m romance that starts when the MCs wake up the morning After... It is also a book about the masks we wear & the stereotypes we fit ourselves & others into, and how much more amazing things are when we move beneath/beyond those layers in our interactions w/ others. People in the story behave as badly as real people often do, but Marshall Thornton doesnt drag us through angst & mud to get that across. Instead the characters are wonderful and Joel Leslie does an excellent job bringing them to life. I decided to listen to "a few minutes" of Femme before bed - 6 hrs & 23 min later: the book was over, the sun was up & sleep never quite got more important than "a few More minutes of the story! Oops... Definitely a repeat listen. A lovely romance Would you consider the audio edition of Femme to be better than the print version? I haven't read the book, only listened, but the narration was SO GOOD. The voices of Dog and Lionel were very distinct and perfect for each character. The narration can have only made a really good book better. What other book might you compare Femme to and why? It reminded me of the At First Sight books by TJ Klune. Not quite as over the top wacky as Klune, but if you liked those books, you'd probably like this. Have you listened to any of Joel Leslies other performances before? How does this one compare? I adore Joel Leslie's narration. He does a great job with making each character sound distinct. I'm always happy to see that he's narrated a book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed through much of this book. There is a lot funny in it. There were a few times I wanted to give Dog a good ding around the ear, too. Any additional comments? The book is both fun and thought provoking. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The characters, even when they do dumb things, are sympathetic. You want them to get their happy ending. I'm sure it's going to be one I'll listen to again. Humorous, well written, & well narrated Any additional comments? I loved some of this a lot. Its humorous, and witty, and with Joel Leslies narration of femme, queeny, Lionel a real pleasure to listen to. If you enjoy humorous, well written, well narrated tales with a bit of romance then this should definitely be on your radar. I can fault neither the writing or the narration. Thornton created two very real characters for me. So much so that I was very upset that Lionel kept allowing himself to be such a doormat for Doug. But that can be forgiven being that hes only twenty-three years old.

Poe Narrator: Derrick McClain Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Life has been pretty great for Sebastian Snow. The Emporium is thriving and his relationship with NYPD homicide detective Calvin Winter is everything he's ever wanted. With Valentine's Day around the corner, Sebastian's only cause for concern is whether Calvin should be taken on a romantic date. It's only when an unknown assailant smashes the Emporium's window and leaves a peculiar note behind that all plans get pushed aside in favor of another mystery. Sebastian is quickly swept up in a series of grisly yet seemingly unrelated murders. The only connection tying the deaths together are curiosities from the lost museum of P.T. Barnum. Despite Calvin's attempts to keep Sebastian out of the investigation, someone is forcing his hand, and it becomes apparent that the entire charade exists for Sebastian to solve. With each clue that brings him closer to the killer, he's led deeper into Calvin's official cases. It's more than just Sebastian's livelihood and relationship on the line - it's his very life. Members Reviews: Frustrating! The main character is one of the most frustrating I've encountered. It was like watching a bad horror movie. Don't go into the basement! And he does, over and over and over again. No mystery here just a character that I wished the killer would kill. I stopped listening with over 4 hours left to hear. I couldn't take the predictability of every scene. hard to enjoy book when you hate main character Not sure the writer fully understands police procedure, relationships, physiology, or human nature. Good grasp of male anatomy, though. Could've used a warning in the description about the graphic sex. Love this Series What did you love best about The Mystery of the Curiosities? It's a great mystery What did you like best about this story? The characters are great Any additional comments? This is a fun series and Derrick McClain is spot on I didn't see that coming! I loved the first book and this one was even better. Although I don't care much for winter snow, I adore the team of Winter & Snow. I like that both Cal and Seb are as flawed as any human. I love how they compliment each other's weakness and help when they can. I will be eagerly awaiting book 3.

Colorblind Audiobook by Siera Maley

Title: Colorblind Author: Siera Maley Narrator: Janine Granda Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 11-13-17 Publisher: Siera Maley Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Harper has a secret... and it's not that she likes girls. She has a rare talent: She can see how old other people will be when they die. Nothing she does changes this number, and that becomes especially clear when her mother dies in a car crash. With only one other person in the world who knows about and shares her gift, Harper is determined to keep her distance from everyone. Then she falls for Chloe whose number is 16. That means that Chloe doesn't have twelve months to live. She doesn't even have six. She is going to be dead by the end of the summer, unless Harper can find a way to stop it. Members Reviews: Another great hit from Siera Maley I already read this book before, but I was excited when I saw Siera Maley is entering the audiobook market and knew I had to get the audiobook. I was a little nervous about the narrator since I didn't see any other books she narrated on audible, but she did a great job. She portray's the characters hesitancy, anguish, and excitement very well. I read two of Siera Maley's books previously, Dating Sarah Cooper and Taking Flight. I loved them both and this was no exception. I like how the book is more about the best-friends aspect and less on romance (and even less on sex). The two girls have a great time with laser tag, walking the dog, and dying hair. Despite the somewhat morbid premise, I'm pleased to say it has a happy ending. I also like robbie and hoped to hear more from him. I like stories where a female lead can have a male best friend who's reliable, always there for her, and not trying to date her. The supernatural element was a nice touch as a mcguffin. After reading many of the other reviews, i found it interesting nobody mentioned Death Note's shinigami's eyes. In retrospect, i doubt there's much audience overlap between a teen-romance and a horror anime. I think it could have been interesting if robbie and harper couldn't see each other's number, as a means of identifying each other. Made me really think! Overall decent book! At first, I thought it was really morbid, like why would I listen to this, but as the book progressed, it made me really think about living life and regrets. Ultimately, it was worth the listen!!

The Complete Horse Mistress Collection Audiobook by R. A. Steffan

Steffan Narrator: Gwendolyn Druyor Format: Unabridged Length: 37 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-16 Publisher: R. A. Steffan Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Carivel was born female, but she has been secretly living as a boy for years in her adoptive village of Draebard. The last thing she needs is to fall for not one, but two unattainable mena fierce warrior and a reluctant wolf-shifter with a horrific past. Now, the Alyrion Empire is poised to invade, and Carivel must choose whether to keep her secret or reveal itnot only to the men she loves, but also to the powerful female ruler whose army could help protect Draebard during the coming war. Steamy and spellbinding, The Complete Horse Mistress Collection combines detailed world-building and a heartfelt romance between three noble, damaged people who have no one to turn to but each other. Author's note: This series contains descriptions of violence and graphic sex, including sex between men, sex with multiple partners (MMF), and elements of fully consensual BDSM within an established, loving relationship. Additionally, it deals with issues of gender identity and gender fluidity. It is intended for a mature audience. Members Reviews: Exciting fantasy well told! The world of the Horse Mistress is vivid and engaging. It is set in a world similar to Britain of the Druids at the time of the Roman invasion. It concerns three main characters who find each other, and against all odds fall in love and become the best versions of themselves. Our characters are Carivel, the titular Horse Mistress, who has been living as a man so she can do the job she loves. Its not just a story of cross dressing as she has always felt that she was born in the wrong body. Andoc is the warrior, who contrary to many warrior stereotypes, is kind and nurturing. Senovo is the eunuch priest who resents his forced castration at the hand of slavers and fears the wolf that is the other side of him that comes out in times of stress. As the collection begins, our characters are thrown together because of a devastating attack on their village that leaves them in positions of new authority. Through the set of four novels, they must learn to cooperate both personally and professionally with each other. They do everything they can to make sure they invading empire doesnt take over their island. They also navigate the tricky waters of having a three-person relationship built on communication and true feelings for each other. I was very impressed with Steffans writing because the quality is consistent and very good. She writes about a poly trio that is believable. This isnt about a ménage that is sex just for sexs sake. The sex that is one the page (and, yes, there is a lot of it) or the BDSM serves a character-based purpose and propels the story forward. It also happens to be really hot. The fantasy setting for this story is very approachable. The characters feel real and familiar without being directly from out history. It would be kind to those readers who arent yet sure if they want to give the fantasy genre a shot. As for the narration, Gwendolyn Druyor is wonderfully gifted. I do most of my book consumption through audiobooks, so I have heard many performances from big name narrators to those with only a few indie titles. Druyor did a few things with this 1st person narration that I just hadnt heard other performers do. For example, when Carivel finds things funny even in her narrative bits, Druyors voice subtly shifts so we imagine a laugh could follow at any second.

For 3,000 years, Nendor and the Seven Kingdoms have known peace and prosperity and Neldin's evil was nearly forgotten. But then Meglar, wizard-king of Zargon, unleashes the dark magic of the underworld and creates an army of creatures to carry out his master's will. One by one, the sovereign realms fall as a new war between the gods threatens to engulf Nendor. Leading the opposition to Meglar is Grand Master Farrell. Young and untried, Farrell carries a secret that could hold the key to defeating Meglar - or it could destroy the world. Farrell is joined by Nerti, queen of the unicorns, and Miceral, an immortal muchari warrior the Six have chosen as Farrell's mate. As Farrell and his new allies make plans to counter Neldin's evil, Meglar forces their hand when he invades a neighboring kingdom. Rushing to help their ally, Farrell and Miceral find themselves in the middle of the battle. Cut off from help, Farrell attempts an untried spell that will either turn the tide or cost him and Miceral their lives. Members Reviews: excellent story awesome narrator This is my first time reading/listening to any of Andrew Gordon's work. Even with the number of times I have looked for high fantasy LGBTQ I've never come across him. I am very glad to have rectified the situation now. Thankfully I am a HUGE fan of Joel Leslie which is how I found this book. The story is engaging and the world is well built. I do feel that the back story could have been better discribed inside the story. The small section in the blurb about the war between the gods really isn't much to go on when they are such a critical part of the story. As this is a series however, hopefully this will be rectified in future books. I really wish they would allow half ratings as the story really deserves a 4.5 imo. The reason I took off that bit was the pacing of the story. The beginning and end are full of action but the middle drags a little. Even so I think it is an excellent book narrated by an awesome performer. If you enjoy high fantasy then this is a must for your collection. Epic story and Stellar performance So original; Joel Leslie is a master storyteller. I await the next installment eagerly. Mr. Gordon's world building skill is unmatched. Excellent story great performance I really loved this fantasy mm book. To me it seemed like a combination of The Belgariad meets the Star Wars mythology; only with gay characters. It is one of those books where the romance is there, but the saga has equal billing. Farrell and Miceral are a solid romance, complete with OTT sappiness; which I loved. Sometimes that can be annoying, but I was so invested in this couple that it just came off as sweet. There is some wonderful world building with unicorns, giant falcons, good and evil gods and humans. Farrell's destiny is front and center of the story; the romance almost a subplot. I loved the courting, although it is kind of an insta love/destined lovers thing. But their banter and shyness comes off really sweet. However, this is not just a sweet romance. There is action at the beginning and the end of the story, with the middle primarily around the romance and setting up the relationships that I am sure we will see in the subsequent books.

As an obstetrician dealing with high-risk pregnancies, she spends all her time and energy in caring for women at a nice, comfortable professional distance until she delivers their babies and can walk away. They're happy, she's satisfied, and no one gets hurt. The perfect relationship. Pregnant mother-to-be Annie Colfax is alone and barely making ends meet - she didn't plan on starting a family by herself, but she's determined to succeed. All she had to do is survive. Neither woman wants a relationship, but fate brings them together at a crossroads that will change their lives forever. Members Reviews: Good Story, Excellent Narration I noticed a lot of reviews of this audiobook were critical of the novel's author for becoming boring and predictable with her storytelling. For myself, this was my first introduction to the author, Radclyffe, and I found the story to be enjoyable and felt the narration of the book was excellent. I held off at first from giving Radclyffe's novels a try because I noticed that most off her novels available on audible.com centered around characters in the medical field. Not being a part of that field, I wondered if I would be able to connect with the characters. I was pleasantly surprised and have enjoyed each Radclyffe audiobook that I have heard so far. I recommend giving this audiobook a listen and I, myself, have listened to it several times. The narrator makes the story! Would you consider the audio edition of Crossroads to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version (although I own it...oops, double purchase), but I think that Lauren Fortgang MAKES this story. She is an excellent narrator, and each character has a distinct voice, especially Annie and Hollis. There was never a question over who was "speaking" in the story. So I highly recommend the audiobook version of this book. I am not sure if I would have enjoyed the print version as much without Fortgang's narration. What other book might you compare Crossroads to and why? I've heard that this book is a lot like Radclyffe's other medical romances. I haven't read any of them, but I plan to, so I might edit this review someday. Which character as performed by Lauren Fortgang was your favorite? HOLLIS. :) But then again, I'm a sucker for intelligent women with dark hair who can hold their own, have angst, AND build things. <3 Plus Fortgang's husky voice for Hollis was, erm, amazing. ;) If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? LOL I don't know. Good but not her best. What did you love best about Crossroads? The reintroduction of Honor Blake and Quinn Maguire. What was one of the most memorable moments of Crossroads? The conversation between Arly and her mom when 12 year old Arly was asked to a party by a boy who was 16. I loved the image of Honor had of Quinn throttling the boy. What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The distinct voice variation between Annie and Hollis. If you could take any character from Crossroads out to dinner, who would it be and why? Annie Colfax because I'm a sucker for blonde hair and green eyes. Really good book Yes this is alot like some of her other story lines all mixed together, but I feel that is what drew me to it.

Free Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-15 Publisher: Jay Bell Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 182 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Never stop running. No matter how often life trips you up or how many times your enemies knock you down, just get up and keep on moving until you find where you belong. Kelly Phillips has been out and proud since he was a young teenager, and thanks to the gay youth group he frequents, he's never been short on friends or lovers. But when you have almost everything, it's hard not to focus on what's just out of reach: a best friend who would be Mr. Right if he wasn't already Mr. Straight. Or that handsome athlete at school who would be easier to wrangle if not for his angel wings. And then there's the guy who might be a perfect fit, maybe even a soul mate...if only he wasn't convinced he didn't need anyone. Kelly has always been good at running. Now he must learn to chase, which will test not only his endurance but the durability of his heart as well. Something Like Lightning is a new beginning in the Something Like... saga, shifting the focus to a different set of characters while also revisiting a familiar face or two. The Something Like... series: Members Reviews: Forget what you thought about Kelly This was one of those books that I wasn't sure I would like, as I didn't really like Kelly in Something Like Spring. I should have had more faith in Jay Bell. He really is a magnificent writer and I need to learn never to make any assumptions about his characters. This is Kelly's story and no matter what you thought of him in Spring, you will love his story. In a word, his spirit is amazing. He does not always express it correctly, but his heart is wonderful. In typical Jay Bell fashion, he makes you root for Kelly and William until his tears them apart so Kelly can have his real true love. What is great is he does it in such a believable, human fashion. I have to say, my view towards William also changed and not in a good way. Something I am sure Jay Bell will whack me over the head with when he tells Williams story. Once again Kevin R Free hits it out of the park with his performance of these characters. He is really one of the best narrators out there and I hope he is always the voice for Jay Bell's stories. This is a must listen for fans of the series, but be warned, there is a modified HEA. The ending is the beginning of Thunder. Getting to know 2 formerly "minor" characters This is a great addition to the Something Like series that let's us get to know 2 (really 4) characters from the past even better. I love how connected and intertwined all the characters are with each other, Jay does such an amazing job of giving long time fans better insight into characters we may not have liked so much from past books and allows us to walk in their shoes for a while. In the end you can't help loving and understanding each and every character! Amazing! One of the best. I listen to a lot of audio books as I have a long commute. This one held my interest so much it made me break my rule. My rule is that I never listen once I'm out of the car.

Mason, the bartender, waits for the punch line, because no way in hell are these ridiculously hot men real cops. They're straight out of a cop-fetish fantasy. But he quickly learns that Jack and Gray are the real deal, and they want him in the worst way. What starts as a night of hot, three-way sex becomes a lot more. The two cops fulfill Mason's submissive fantasies, but they also meet a more basic need: comfort. They want to take care of Mason, to offer him unconditional friendship, but their concern for him unnerves Mason more than even the kinkiest sex. To find happiness with his new partners, Mason must change his belief that love is as much a fantasy as a pair of gorgeous, handcuff-wielding cops landing in his bed. Members Reviews: Delivers the heat! Any additional comments? Greg Boudreaux (the new audio identity Greg Tremblay is using for steamier erotic fiction) delivers a solid performance. I liked his voice choices for the characters, and Greg knows how to deliver the heat for the sexy times. This is a steam filled, unconventional romance between established couple, Jack and Gray, and bartender, Mason. Told entirely from Mason's POV the relationship starts off, for Mason, as one hot night, but evolves into so much more as feelings grow deeper. Mason, who has been in a ménage once before, is leery of his deepening feelings for Jack and Gray because of the way he was burned before and consequently he does a lot of running. There's a lot of non-communication from Mason which drove me nuts. Mostly, I wish I could have gotten Jack and Gray's POVs too. I really wanted to like this. Hell, I was all set to LOVE this. I've been looking for a great ménage story and this came VERY highly recommended. I don't know...maybe it was timing or mood, but I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. I wish I liked it more, especially as it has all the elements I usually love, but with the exception of the communication issues that drove me entirely insane for a quarter of the story, I only solidly liked it. It was okay...but not the spectacularly hot romance I thought it was going to be. Bottom Line: This has steamy moments, some D/s play, an emotional connection between the lovers, and it's a sweet, ménage romance with some angst. Sexy MMM Menage! Where does Fitting In, Volume 1 rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's definitely one I will listen to again. What was one of the most memorable moments of Fitting In, Volume 1? Gray loosing his temper and throwing his glass at the wall, then what came after. Have you listened to any of Greg Boudreauxs other performances before? How does this one compare? As Greg Tremblay, yes. Greg Boudreaux's supposed to be his spicier side, and boy was this book spicey!! If you could take any character from Fitting In, Volume 1 out to dinner, who would it be and why? Gray! Good lord that man's attitude, persona and voice. Yowza!! Any additional comments? I love the opening line for this book, two cops walk into a bar... Jack and Gray walk into Nathan's bar to see if the employees have seen anything suspicious. Several businesses in the area have been robbed as of late, and they are walking the beat to try to find someone that has seen something. What they find is the shy, sexy bartender, Mason. Over the next few weeks Jack and Gray spend a lot of their off time in the bar.

Title: What Happens at Christmas Author: Jay Northcote Narrator: Mark Steadman Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-16 Publisher: Jaybird Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When two friends pose as boyfriends, could what happens at Christmas turn into something more? Justin is recently and unhappily single. Christmas is coming, and he doesn't want to face his ex alone at their office party. So Sean - Justin's best mate and long-time secret crush - volunteers to go with him and pretend to be his new flame. Sean has always lusted after Justin from afar, but there's never been a good opportunity to ask him for more than friendship. Posing as Justin's boyfriend isn't a chore, and if Justin wants to rebound onto him, Sean's more than willing. At the party pretense and reality blur, and a kiss on the dance floor leads to a night of passion. In the aftermath, they both assume it was a one-time thing until fate intervenes. Stuck together in London over the holidays, they give in to temptation again. But what happens at Christmas stays at Christmas...right? Members Reviews: A delightful and very British story A wonderful friends to lovers and fake boyfriends Christmas story with oodles of feel good moments. Its sweet, fluffy, and mostly angst-free. Another cracking and very British tale from Jay, with lots of sexy times for Justin and Sean. Marks narration suits the age of the main characters and their London setting, plus he gave them a different voice so it was easy to distinguish the two guys. His long pauses were noticeable but not enough to detract from the whole story. Fun for the holidays! Justin and Sean have been best friends forever. Justin came out to Sean early on and was crushed when Sean admitted to being gay only after theyd survived growing up. The two never crossed the line from being just friends though it turns out both had harbored romantic feelings for the other for a long time. When Justin needs someone to pose as his boyfriend, Sean volunteers. Soon its hard to tell just where the pretending becomes reality. But when Christmas is over will the two go back to being just friends. ** Jay does New Adult really well. Her boys are funny and sharp and sexy as hell. Sean and Justin have tremendous chemistry and it was fun watching it combust. There is very little angst and lots of hot times in this wonderful Holiday story. I recommend this to fans of Jays work and anyone looking for some fun Holiday Frolicking! Audio Michael Steadman is wonderful! Hes got the delightful accent and a very good sense of timing a great sense of humor. He gives the women a fair pass at voicing, each of the MCs a different, discernable voice with their own personalities and hes very easy to listen to. I very much recommend this as a way to enjoy this lovely book! 5 of 5 stars for both book and audiobook super sweet this was a sweet little friends to lovers holiday read that ends with an awesome HEA. Mark Stedman was delightful and did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. I loved their little safe word. no, no it isn't kinky, it's something they came up with as children because Sean didn't know his own strength when they were smaller. It then reappeared in adulthood as somewhat of a cute joke. Highly recommend this to get you in the spirit Gets you in a holiday mood! Any additional comments? Mark Steadman does a good job with the character voices and keeps a steady pace for the narration.

Against Doctors Orders Audiobook by Radclyffe

Title: Against Doctors Orders Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Eva Kaminsky Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 262 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: There'd been a Rivers at the helm of Argyle Community Hospital for six generations, and Harper Rivers was set to take her father's place whenever he decided to hang up his shingle. Unfortunately, the board of directors had other ideas - they accepted a buyout offer from a health-care conglomerate with plans to close the hospital's doors to the community that depended on it. And Presley Worth, a high-powered corporate financier, came to town to oversee the closure. Funny thing was, no one asked Harper, and she had no intention of following anyone's orders but her own - no matter how beautiful, smart, or commanding the new boss might be. Members Reviews: This is a great book to read. Ok so let's get this out of the way. The story ended abruptly. The whole proposal was really quick seeing they really didn't even have a relationship. however I am a believer of love at first site. The narration at first was hard to listen to. She seemed bored, but by the second part of the book I got use to her and the story flowed better, She found her groove. I felt there was a few loose ends with this book, for it to just end. I did have a hard time feeling the chemistry between the two main characters out side of their love scenes. Not that it wasn't there. It was just really light. If that makes since. So with that out of the way.. let's see, this story is about the harsh realities of corporate takeovers. Hospitals getting bought out, or having to merge to save investments for investors and board members. The Author did a really good job keeping things believable. Characters relationships and interactions were great and will keep you engaged. The love story was good, light hearted without alot of drama. I loved this family and how all the sisters got along. I really liked how there was some diversity between them. you'll really like how Carry deals with Flannary when she hits on her. That was a definitely a lol moment. Radcyffe did a great job once again...and I look forward to the sequels. One Of Her Best There are only small variables in Radclyffe's books, however in those small differences is what separates the good from the not so good. Harper Rivers has followed the family tradition and is the heir apparent to her father as the hospital director. However as is now the case of many communities the the hospital is sold to a conglomerate. This brings Presley Worth into Harper's life and thus begins their love story. Harper and Presley, (damn doesn't Radclyffe come up with the wildest, most unusual androgynous names,) begin the dance that every romance novel, gay or straight goes through to lead a couple to true love in the end. Presley begins the story as a hard edged business woman, without any regard for what will happen to the community when the changes the conglomerate will bring, go through. Then as we all knew it would her relationship with Harper and the community begins to change her into a softer, more caring and lovable person. Almost as big a part of the novel as Harper and Presley is Harper's younger sister Flan, a surgeon and a player who is my far the best character in the book. Flan brings an edge to this story that the writers in this genre rarely give their main characters.

When Jett comes home from the war and destruction in the Middle East, flying and the adrenaline rush of a crisis are the only things that make her happy, and she volunteers to fly night call, where all the action is, whenever she can. So maybe once in a while she takes a few chances. Hey, that's life, right? Dr. Tristan Holmes is an expert at two things - high-risk anesthesia and pleasing women. Tristan gave up expecting anything other than a good time from the women in her life long time ago, and casual relationships are the perfect prescription for stress release. She doesn't do relationships, so she can't quite understand why it bothers her when Jett makes it clear she doesn't want one. High-stakes medical drama, life on the edge, and love in the fast lane - it's all just routine for Night Call. Members Reviews: Harder to get through Depth of Storyline just not there for me like other Radclyffe books. Seems like every other breath they were having gratuitous sex that was kind of lame to boot. I liked the fact that Honor and Quinn were in this book but again weak story. Nice to have a new narrator. if you are new to the genre you may enjoy this book more than I did or maybe if you are just not me, which you probably are not. :) This book was very emotionaly charged. This book was amazing. It gave me such joy to continue learning about the lives of Quinn, Honor Linda, And Robin. This book is introduced Jet and Tristan... two women I really grew to like and connected to them really fast. I felt the hurt and fears they both shared. Radcyffe did an amazing job building their characters up and the emotional pull between them was undeniably strong. I laughed, I definitely cried several times. It had me on the edge several times. The narration was good, and she made it possible to really engage the life of this story. You really should read this book along with all the others connected to it. I was not disappoint. One of the best Radclyffe's Like with ani ada book Radclyffe nevr disappoints and the audio was equally satisfying i enjoyed evry second Best Story I liked this story as it seemed Radcliffe wrote it a bit differently than all the other books! I rally appreciate her insight into the military and this book is with reading as it is truly one of her best! Ghost writer? The best part of this story is catching up with Quinn and Honor. The main romance is forced and not at all up to Radclyffe standards.

Audacious. Independent. Curtis Ash can't be bothered to settle down. He's too busy enjoying his cushy job as a high-paid stylist, caught in a whirlwind of hookups, parties, and obscenely priced cocktails.

Thanks to his refusal to trust his gut, Crash not only tanks his career - he allows the one man who truly holds his interest to slip away.

Yes. Gomez Pugh is just an amazing narrator. What did you like best about this story? The story was really a character exploration of Crash. I loved that the story didn't revolve around his romances, but an exploration of who he was as a person. Which character as performed by Gomez Pugh was your favorite? Victor will always be my favorite in every book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed and cried at some parts. The book definitely hit me on a deep, emotional level. Any additional comments? Crash was always my least favorite character, so I was hesitant to purchase this book. But let me tell you, this book changed the way I saw him and a few of the other characters. I almost wish that I had read this book before the others so that I had a better understanding of Crash's personality and why he acted the way that he did. This series is in my top 10!! I've enjoyed the Psycop series, and this book in particular. So much that I had to relisten to all 8+ over again. It's always so sad when it comes to an end. I can't wait for book 9!! This book covers before, during & after the other books in the Psycop series. It answers many questions & ties things together nicely. It's awesome how tightly this book fits into the series. So many details expanded on. How JCP put it all together is beyond me!! Genius! Jordan has done it again. A clever weaving of loved characters and interesting story with very witty dialogue. Gomez has kept up an amazing performance with bang-on voices. Thoroughly enjoyable. So sad to see the series ending... Well you had to know Crashs story wasnt gonna be easy.

Any additional comments? Love this book series. A wonderful escape into another world. way erotic story line is great keeps you intrigued and moves at a fast pace. Once you accept wares and vamps are NOT human it's easier to accept their unusual quirks and desires. some times I found some character description to be repetitive but maybe that's be couse I have listened to 3 books in the series in a row!!! and the narrator is great at voices so it's easy to follow who is talking plus she gets right into it which is great!

Innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire and although the THIRDS round up more and more members of the Order in the hopes of keeping the volatile group from reorganizing, the members of the Coalition continue to escape and wreak havoc in the name of vigilante justice. Worse yet, someone inside the THIRDS has been feeding the Coalition information. It's up to Destructive Delta to draw out the mole and put an end to the war before anyone else gets hurt. But to get the job done, the team will have to work through the aftereffects of the Therian Youth Center bombing. A skirmish with Coalition members leads Agent Dexter J.

There's more going on than Dex and Sloane originally believed, and their fiery partnership is put to the test. As the case takes an explosive turn, Dex and Sloane are in danger of losing more than their relationship. Members Reviews: Mark Westfield Rocks This Series! Any additional comments? I absolutely love and adore Mark Westfields narration of this series! To me, its Westfields narration that makes this series shine. Things I enjoyed about the book: 1. Getting to see the progression of the Sloane and Dexs relationship. Finally getting to see Sloane remove his head from his ass and recognize what he has in Dex was awesome. 2. The humor. Once again, it was the humor, and in many cases with this particular story, it was only the humor that kept me from throwing my Kindle out the window. 3. The audio narration. Mark Westfield does a really good job bringing the characters and situations to life. I enjoyed his narration just as much this time, and its his narration that keeps me going. Things that drove me nuts? 1. How do I keep figuring out the bad guy? I am probably the most oblivious person you will ever meet. Seriously. So I find it absolutely tragic that I have figured out who the bad guy is in each of these mysteries only a couple chapters in. Thats just sad. 2. Sloane, and then Ashs, whole Im so broken because of tragic things in my past, so therefore youre better off without me bull****. I just cant. The whole thing between Ash and Cael? I was so hoping Cael would kick Ash in the nuts. In. The. Nuts. 3. And thenand then! Theres a part that had me literally writhing on my chair with rage and disbelief I wont spoil it but it had me CRAZY. Ok? CRAZY. So I found it totally implausible Dex would only tell Sloane, and not say something to Tony. Then I found it COMPLETELY impossible that Sloane would doabsolutely nothing. He barely even has a conversation about it. I cannot even. Worst soldier/cops ever. Sloane doesnt even follow up until the following day (or was it days?) later! And then Sloane does nothing. Sloane and Dex dont tell the team? Putting everyone in jeopardy? What the hell? AND THENthe cliffhanger? The one that even I could see coming a mile away and without spoilers? ButBUT! What can I say? This series is full of humor, action, suspense, and sexy times. Couple all of that with Mark Westfields narrative delivery, and Im hooked! Fans of the series wont be disappointed with this installment.

Title: Inside Dumont Subtitle: A Novel in Stories Author: Michael Craft Narrator: Michael Craft Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-18 Publisher: Questover Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: While dressing for dinner on New Year's Eve, the last thing Marson Miles expects is to fall in love that night - with his wife's nephew. But when Brody Norris arrives from California to join his uncle's architectural firm, Marson finds his life turned upside down. And the quirky little town of Dumont, Wisconsin, will never be quite the same. Inside Dumont is a reflective exploration of Marson's later-life journey, set against a loving portrait of the place he and Brody will call home. This impressionistic chronicle of their growing relationship - and the orbit of events leading up to it - is told from a variety of viewpoints within a fluid timeline. The novel's dozen episodic narratives range from tender to suspenseful, from romantic to mysterious, all of them brightened with a good measure of humor. Members Reviews: I will take you back to a familiar place... This is what Michael Craft told me in a Facebook comment, when I told him I had just purchased his long-awaited novel, "Inside Dumont." And, indeed, although it's been many years since his last Mark Manning mystery, it was like I had never left. Written as a series of vignettes, Craft allows his story of life, love, and mystery to unfold through the eyes of the principal characters. The book is cleverly and effectively written. You view the characters through the eyes of their neighbors as well as their own. I can't describing the style, other than that it's riveting and entertaining from the first page to the last. A Wildly Entertaining Read! Michael Craft's Inside Dumont is a rollicking romp! The author employs an interesting structure; he reveals the plot through a series of entertaining short stories. The device works quite well and guides us through the small, yet somewhat tony Wisconsin town. Because of Craftâs wonderful penchant for specific detail and snappy dialogue, the characters are well defined and fully intriguing. From the very start, the reader is lured into their personal worlds of passionate ambitions and closely guarded secrets. At the heart of it all is the heart-warming May-December romance between Marson Miles and Brody Norris. This latest offering from Mr. Craft, who is also known for his award-winning âMark Manningâ mystery series, will certainly attract and entertain new readers. And it will no doubt continue to delight his many devoted followers. Great Read - Same Michael Craft style! Michael Craft has not lost his touch! Like all of his other novels (and I've read them all), "Inside Dumont" is written in his unique style, blending mystery, drama, and fun in every chapter. You feel like you're right there in Dumont. I highly recommend this latest novel. And if you haven't read any of his others, check those out as well. You won't be disappointed ... charms of life in a small Midwestern town are beautifully depicted in Inside Dumont The charms of life in a small Midwestern town are beautifully depicted in Inside Dumont. Interesting characters, full of quirks and foibles, interact throughout the range of short stories, together forming a short novel. Insights into the human condition pepper the affectionate as well as pointed prose.

A Boy's Own Story Audiobook by Edmund White

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edmund White) — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:45:47 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/353/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Boy's Own Story Subtitle: A Novel Author: Edmund White Narrator: George Backman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-16-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Originally published in 1982 as the first of Edmund White's trilogy of autobiographical novels, A Boy's Own Story became an instant classic for its pioneering portrayal of homosexuality. The audiobook's unnamed narrator, growing up during the 1950s, is beset by aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless mocking from his peers, compelling him to seek out works of art and literature as solace-and to uncover new relationships in the struggle to embrace his own sexuality. Lyrical and poignant, with powerful evocations of shame and yearning, this is an American literary treasure. Members Reviews: awful I have no idea who George backman is but he is rubbish at reading More Than Meets The Eye Written from the perspective of a developing adolescent, this is a very sharp and entertaining book. Lots of humour and a skilful use of language with an astute portrayal of masculinity. George Backman reads well, catching the uncertain tone of the key character. Deserves a wide audience. Good Book, Poor Performance Where does A Boy's Own Story rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's got probably the worst performance of all the audiobooks I've listened to. Would you be willing to try another book from Edmund White? Why or why not? Yes, if it has a different narrator. Would you be willing to try another one of George Backmans performances? No. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Difficult to say, considering the performance was so off. Any additional comments? George Blackman read as if the narrator was a wheezy and overly camp kid. This is true to an extent of what Edmend White was portraying. But the story is also supposed to be funny. If you listen to Edmund White read extracts from the novel, you can see he plays it for laughs, especially some of the sex scenes. However George Blackman doesn't convey this humour. Instead from his performance everything seems to feed back into the main protagonist's insecurity and overt sensitivity. This way of reading makes the main character sound like a caricature of a young gay teen instead of the actual well-rounded character, which is what you get when you read the book.

Title: Inconceivable Subtitle: Tate Pack Series, Book 2 Author: Vicktor Alexander Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-13 Publisher: The Rooster & The Pig Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Tommy Wilkins, a.k.a. "Tammy Walks" was happy with his life as one of the highest paid drag queen performers in New York City. He had a gorgeous apartment in Greenwich Village, men throwing themselves at his feet and he had lots of money in the bank. He didn't need the family that shunned him, the boyfriend that used to beat the hell out of him or even the gorgeous sexy linebacker looking Texan cowboy, named Anton "Ton" Forrester, that his friend Richard introduced him too. All he needed was himself. But Ton wasn't going to give up so easily because you see, Tommy is his mate, and he wants all of him, makeup, heels, dresses and costumes included. He wants to heal every scar and make the smaller man believe in love again. There's only one problem, someone is determined to keep the two men apart, even if they have to kill Tommy to do so. Members Reviews: Great Crisden Narration Cute follow up to the Tate Pack... Crisden is simply a great narrator... I just love his voice for m/m romance. He is perfect! Good credit if you have any of the other Tate Pack books. Good Steamy Fun I loved this book. I initially feel in love in the beginning. A big strong cowboy and his boy. The plot progresses well and there is not a lack steamy scenes, which make the book much better. At first I was not head over heals for the narration of Anton the cowboy. The southern accent was a bit off, but as I kept reading I didn't really mind as much. Overall its a pretty good story if your looking for something steamy and fun. Porn on Paper Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes actually, even though the story itself left a little something to be desired, Sean Crisden could read the phone book and keep me enthralled. Has Inconceivable turned you off from other books in this genre? No! Have you listened to any of Sean Crisdens other performances before? How does this one compare? Hell yes, love him! Everything he touches is golden. What would have made this romance irresistible? Less sex, more story. Any additional comments? Tommy Wilkins is perfectly happy living in New York. Hes a successful drag queen, Tammy Walks, and not only does he love his job he is able to show is more effeminate side without care. When Tommy visited his friend Richard in Texas he met the big, burly Wolf Shifter Anton Forrester. When Ton reveals his wolf to Tommy and tells Tommy he is his mate, Tommy is on the next plane back to New York. The last thing Tommy wants is to open his heart up to anyone ever again to be hurt, abused or left alone when they decide they dont want him anymore. But Ton is relentless. He follows Tommy back to the big city and brings his man back home where he belongs. The only problem is, trouble follows. I didnt like this storyline as much as I liked the first book. This book jumped the fence and went completely porn on paper, seriously, I dont think five minutes went by in this book without Ton and Tommy going at it like bunnies. There was some suspense with Tommys past catching up with him. Then there was the cross dressing aspect, and Tommy worrying about being fully accepted by Ton from now until the end of time. But these aspects of the story came across more like an afterthought.

Title: Long Black Veil Subtitle: A Novel Author: Jennifer Finney Boylan Narrator: Jennifer Finney Boylan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: For fans of Donna Tartt and Megan Abbott, a novel about a woman whose family and identity are threatened by the secrets of her past, from the New York Times best-selling author of She's Not There. On a warm August night in 1980, six college students sneak into the dilapidated ruins of Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, looking for a thrill. With a pianist, a painter, and a teacher among them, the friends are full of potential. But it's not long before they realize they are locked in - and not alone. When the friends get lost and separated, the terrifying night ends in tragedy, and the unexpected, far-reaching consequences reverberate through the survivors' lives. As they go their separate ways, trying to move on, it becomes clear that their dark night in the prison has changed them all. Decades later, new evidence is found, and the dogged detective investigating the cold case charges one of them - celebrity chef Jon Casey - with murder. Only Casey's old friend Judith Carrigan can testify to his innocence. But Judith is protecting long-held secrets of her own - secrets that, if brought to light, could destroy her career as a travel writer and tear her away from her fireman husband and teenage son. If she chooses to help Casey, she risks losing the life she has fought to build and the woman she has struggled to become. In any life that contains a "before" and an "after", how is it possible to live one life, not two? Weaving deftly between 1980 and the present day, and told in an unforgettable voice, Long Black Veil is an intensely atmospheric thriller that explores the meaning of identity, loyalty, and love. Listeners will hail this as Boylan's triumphant return to fiction. Critic Reviews: "[A] madcap thriller full of hidden identities.... And embedded in the whodunit is a heartwarming midlife love story, in which hard-won candor, tenacity, and a generous sense of humor are the most saving of graces." (Publishers Weekly) "Boylan, who has reaped praise in recent years with memoirs exploring her transgender experience, doesn't miss a storytelling beat in her first novel as she blends atmospheric elements of a Shirley Jackson-like haunting, a secret-laden murder tale featuring an ensemble cast, and an eye-opening glimpse of the complex choices transgender people face. This crime debut is certain to attract a genre-blurring following, but recommendations to fans of Erin Kelly's The Poison Tree and Donna Tartt's The Secret History are sure bets." (Booklist) "Boylan's twisty and entertaining thriller takes a hard look at questions of identity, love, and trust. Recommended for fans of Megan Abbott and Donna Tartt." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Awesome! JFB is a wonderful story teller. Love the audible. Great mystery! Highly recommended! I bought the hardcover also! Narration is unbearable I may have liked the story, but I never had the chance to find out. Authors who read their own works often do an unfortunate job, and this one was no exception. Dont bother with this one The characters and the dialogue are ridiculously trite, and the narration is equally bad. Just awful. author is not narrator. Accents take away from sto How could the performance have been better? The wrong voice is reading this.

When he learns his father has cancer, and he has siblings he never knew existed, he leaves everything behind and moves to Virginia to support his dad as he tries to make amends with his family - a family Justin's not sure he has a place in. Things go from bad to worse when he discovers his recent hookup is his newfound sister's brother-in-law. Drew Sinclair never expected to see Justin after their night at the club or to discover their family connection. If anyone found out, it would give Drew's brother another reason to hate him. But there's something about Justin that draws him in, and it's not only because they burn up the sheets together. One meeting leads to another, and before Justin realizes it, Drew has become the only thing in his world he feels is his. And for the first time in his life, Drew knows what it means to be needed. Being there for Justin and supporting him when things spiral out of control feels right. But with so much happening so quickly, it's hard to trust their feelings. Is this thing between them real? Or just a test drive before life forces them down two separate roads? Members Reviews: Enjoyed this book I enjoyed this book- highly recommend. Its a sweet, hot and heartbreaking love story. Drew and Justin find love unexpectedly- but sometimes that just the way love works. excellent story excellent narrator I love the Love Story between Drew and Justin. this story shows out of tragedy love come deeper. family bonds become stronger. Very happy with the third installment Any additional comments? This story was really touching to me. I loved reconnecting with the characters from the earlier books, and I even liked Rod and Landon better now they were not the main focus. The I want you to love me but understand you have a lot on your mind conflict was handled interestingly to me. I appreciated the author leaving different threads so I was not 100% how the logistics of the happy ending would work out. Narration hooked me into a good story. Would you listen to Test Drive again? Why? I would listen to Test Drive again, it had very good character development and was a good story. I enjoyed feeling Drew and Justin fall in love and deal with their family situations. Would you recommend Test Drive to your friends? Why or why not? Yes, I would recommend Test Drive to my friends, the narration was very well done and story drew me in. Which character as performed by Sean Crisden was your favorite? Crisden did a great job of bringing Justin to life and made him seem very authentic. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I easily could have listened to the book in one sitting (if I didn't have to work or take care of other basic needs!) poignant this was more of a slow burn build between Justin and Drew but the friendship is very sweet and makes for a solid relationship with a lot hot sexy times.

Then the Stars Fall Audiobook by Brandon Witt

Title: Then the Stars Fall Author: Brandon Witt Narrator: Andrew McFerrin Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 525 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The death of his wife four years earlier left Travis Bennett a shell of the man he used to be. With his dog by his side, Travis raises his three children, manages his business, and works as a ranch hand. But every day, every minute, is an aching emptiness. Wesley Ryan has fond memories of the small Ozark town of El Dorado Springs. Seeing it as a safe place to put his failed relationships behind him, Wesley moves into his grandparents' old home and takes over the local veterinary clinic. An early morning visit from Travis and his dog stirs feelings that Wesley seeks to push away - the last thing he needs is to fall for a man with baggage and three kids as part of the package. Life, it seems, has other plans. Members Reviews: Sweet Romance This was my first experience with Brandon Witt (certainly not the last just finished Shattered Door) and it was a great pleasure to be lost in his phenomenal writing style. Combined with the narration of Andrew McFerrin, I entered the world of Travis and Wesley and felt as if I was a part of that world. Witt provided excellent insight into each character, regardless of status in the story. I could feel the vial, antagonistic hate permeate from the 'evil' character and I could feel and relate to the struggles of both protagonists. Such intense skill and storytelling made this a tale in which I lost myself and related to journey of the characters. Certainly would recommend and am anxious to Witt's talents again as well as those of McFerrin's. Good story missing something The missing part is the Romance or the feeling of falling in love - that part is very understaded and it is the Reason the book dosnt get five Stars. Liked the Way the main character talks to his dead wife and the fact that the kids are a Big part of the story. Wonderful story with great writing This was an absolutely wonderful, really well written story. This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. This story is based in a small town and is the story of Travis, a widower who is still mourning and in love with his wife after four years. Wesley is the new openly gay vet in town, who retreats to the small town of fond childhood memories to forget a cheating ex boyfriend. When they first meet it is definitely not love at first sight. In fact, since Travis calls Wesley the f word and is very hostile to him. I just thought, how the hell will the author convince me these two belong together; I didnt really like Travis. It was a long road, but in the end, I was convinced. The narrator does an amazing job and really brought these two and all the supporting characters to life. This is a multiple POV book. A little angst, a little drama and a lot of love. My only nits were the overuse of the f word; giving POVs to minor characters; and, the fact that Travis seems to bring up his wife so much, it is somewhat distracting from his relationship to Wesley. Overall, well worth a credit.. Loved it! This is by far one of the best books I've listen to. Worth the purchase(or credit). Beating around the bush For as much as all of the characters were developed (including all secondary ones, their backstories, inner turmoils, the town itself and so on) the writer did not spend any time developing the actual romance. Mind you, I don't mean explicit scenes but the way it's written made for a precipitated turn of events that was quite hard to connect to.

A Dangerous Thing Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: A Dangerous Thing Subtitle: An Adrien English Mystery, Book 2 Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Chris Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-13 Publisher: Josh Lanyon Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 423 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Suffering from writer's block and frustrated with his tentative relationship with hot but closeted LAPD Homicide Detective Jake Riordan, gay bookseller and mystery writer Adrien English travels to northern California where he finds a body in his front drive. By the time the sheriffs arrive the body has disappeared, and Adrien once again finds himself playing amateur sleuth. But when the game turns deadly, Adrien turns to Jake. Jake may be confused about some things, but keeping his lover alive is not one of them - no matter what the cost. Members Reviews: A Seamless Transition from the First Book Josh Lanyon really outdid himself this time. This book is simply great. The story was so compelling I listened to the whole thing in one day! The book made a perfect transition from Fatal Shadows. If you haven't listened to Fatal Shadows yet, I recommend buying both and listening to them in order. Number 2: Very Enjoyable... Number two in the series and I must admit that the mystery plot was a bit less obvious than the first book and the budding relationship between Adrien and Jake was tantalizing, to say the least. The twinge of jealousy from Jake was a welcomed surprise and certainly opened the door for hope. On a side note, I have been more careful checking my mailbox since reading this story! Another great tale by Josh Lanyon and again Chris Pattons narration was excellent and added to the story. Looking forward to reading the next in the series! Recommend!! A wondefull follow up to Fatal Shadows Chris Patton's narration is even better in the second book of the Adrien English series. The was a very enjoyable listen of one of my favorite series. Fantastic narration, awesome mystery Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? YES! I've recommended both audio and book to several friends and they've all enjoyed it. The mystery is great, i really like the setting and absolutely adore the characters. A Dangerous Thing is an all time favorite of mine, and the narration is perfect while somehow still getting better and better with each book. What did you like best about this story? I liked best two things: the mystery, and the character arc. One of the reasons i like this book best out of the series is that the two main characters get to spend a lot of time together, figuring things out, both personal, and mystery-wise. I love the dynamic and the sense of humor. Have you listened to any of Chris Pattons other performances before? How does this one compare? I first listened to Chris Patton in Fatal Shadows, the first Adrien English mystery, and fell in love with his amazing voice and narration skills. He's exceeded my expectations and beyond, and he keeps getting better and better. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes! It made me laugh many many times, and also sigh happily often, and be on the edge of my seat, and more. There's no moment with no reaction in this book. Josh Lanyon's books always elicit a wide range of emotions. Continuing to love this series! "Aren't you the guy who told me a cop's gut instinct is one of his best tools?" "You're not a cop, baby. You're a bookseller. You don't have a gut instinct. You have knack for nearly getting yourself killed." I love the blend of quick wit and humour with the intrigue of the murder mystery.

Title: Desire by Starlight Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Sarah Lawrence Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 148 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Best-selling romance author Jenna Hardy, aka Cassandra Hart, sprints through life from one appearance to the next, always on deadline, always in demand, always on the arm of a different beautiful woman. She has no personal life, because her entire existence is public, and part of her appeal. She loves the tempo, the power, the thrill until the pace catches up to her and she collapses at a book signing. Her doctor orders rest, her editor wants a three book series yesterday, and her attorney informs her she has just inherited a farm in the backcountry of Vermont. Divine intervention or Fate's little joke? The only thing that might possibly save her from dying of boredom during a summer of forced R and R is a dalliance with Gardner Davis, the local vet. Unfortunately, everything about Jenna's high-profile lifestyle is exactly what Gard wants to leave far, far behind. That and a dark secret that haunts the new life she's made. Members Reviews: and She Rolls On You know what you're going to get with a Radclyffe novel; some books are better than others but there are some things you can count on. The butch half of the couple will be one of the better human beings ever to stride the earth. This is a woman who is almost always heavy on certain masculine characteristics but with the descriptive terms used in this book would challenge the machismo of an MMA fighter. The femme side of the couple will be confused about either her sexuality or the character of her prospective partner. Both aspiring lovers are scarred by their pasts and they both have probably trusted too easily and/or loved too much. There are some high points and the setting is rugged and beautiful; a small town in rural Vermont, although I suppose rural Vermont is a redundant phrase. I'm unsure about a recommendation here, if you happen to be a fan of hers you'll probably like it, if you're a Radclyffe virgin I would suggest another selection like Against Doctors Orders, Wild Shores, or the Lonely Hearts Club. Good Book but just misses being Great! Where does Desire by Starlight rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? First off I am crazy about Radclyffe, and love her books, So just sticking with her books:Her Triple powered series of the Providence Tales, Her Honor Series, and her Justice Series are hard to beat, add in her First Responders, Her New Doctors Series, Her Old Doctors series i.e. Turn Back Time etc, She just has so many books, that crossover into different universes. Take this one, One of the charterer was Blare's best friend from the Honor series. It has nothing to do with the Honor series, it's just a continuity thing. So ranking is hard, Of all those series books listed, not to mention stand alone's, Some are better than others, It would be way below the stand along Secret in the Stone, But above the (I just went blank) so I have no Idea what to put it above. I know its lower than all the Providence Tales and about 3/4 of the Justice books, All the First Responders, And All her New Doctors Series -the one with the family of doctors taking over the hospital in the country and where the ER head fall for the woman send down to hacket the hospital but ends up saving it and taking over the administration of it.

Title: Ball & Chain Subtitle: Cut & Run Series, Book 8 Author: Abigail Roux Narrator: J. F. Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-15-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 278 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Home from their unexpected deployment, the former members of Marine Force Recon team Sidewinder rejoin their loved ones and try to pick up the pieces of the lives they were forced to leave behind. Ty Grady comes home to Zane Garrett, only to find that everything around him has changed - even the men he went to war with. He barely has time to adjust before his brother, Deuce, asks Ty to be his best man. But that isn't all Deuce asks Ty to do, and Ty must call for backup to deal with the business issues of Deuce's future father-in-law. Nick O'Flaherty and Kelly Abbott join Ty and Zane at the wedding on an island in Scotland, thinking they're there to assuage Deuce's paranoia. But when bodies start dropping and boats start sinking, the four men get more involved with the festivities than they'd ever planned to. With the clock ticking and the killer just as stuck on the isolated island as they are, Ty and Zane must navigate a veritable minefield of family, friends, and foes to stop the whole island from being destroyed. Members Reviews: Riveting Suspense, Complicated Friendship, Romance If you could sum up Ball & Chain in three words, what would they be? Forever Love, Forever Friends, and Forever Getting Into Trouble. :) What did you like best about this story? I enjoyed seeing Ty & Zane settled as a couple and a team, Ty adjusting to changes for his friends and also sorting out issues with his friends, the twisting suspenseful situation at the wedding, and the promise of what is to come. Have you listened to any of J. F. Hardings other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my third time listening to him narrate books from this series. I thought he did a fantastic job. I always lose myself in the stories and feel that he nails emotions, pace, humor, and tone well. If you could rename Ball & Chain, what would you call it? Murder At an Island Wedding Any additional comments? This is book eight in the series and it must be read in series order. I would also suggest reading the spin-off Sidewinder series book one, Shock & Awe, just before this one and after Touch & Geaux. This book brings together Ty & Zane's story with the newly emerging Nick & Kelly one. Can't wait for both the next Cut & Run and Sidewinder books coming next. Great listen! This is a new twist on an old plot, one that will through you for a loop. Who knew Scotland could be so dangerous?! Where does Ball & Chain rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Oh my gosh, it's amazing, I was both on the edge of my seat and laughing hysterically. What was one of the most memorable moments of Ball & Chain? The fireplace!!! Which scene was your favorite? See previous answer, the fireplace scene with Ty and Zane. YowZa!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes I did, but it's quite long, it took a couple of days. Any additional comments? When Ty's brother, Deuce, asks Ty to be his best man at this wedding... in Scotland... all expenses paid, Ty and Zane welcome the almost vacation from their otherwise chaotic lives. Having just returned from a six month deployment, Ty comes home with more baggage than what he carries in his Sea bag. He isn't back two days when their boss calls both men into their office and tells them that since Zane is now in a Supervisory role, they can no longer be partners.

Title: Honor Guards Subtitle: The Honor Series, Book 4 Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 160 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When you're the president's daughter and the closest thing the country has to a first lady, your life is never really your own. When you're the woman charged to guard the first daughter, and you also happen to be her lover, every moment of every day is filled with challenges - and a mistake could cost you everything. Unbeknownst to either Blair Powell or Secret Service agent Cameron Roberts, they are at the center of a conspiracy that will rock the world when a net of violence and death draws down upon them and the nation. In a journey that begins on the streets of Paris's Left Bank and culminates in a wild flight for their lives, the president's daughter and those who are sworn to protect her wage a desperate struggle for survival. Members Reviews: I wanted to like Can Radclyffe not remember the character's names? I am so sick of hearing "her lover" or "my lover," over and over rather the names. Names are a good thing for a reason and that is so it is not like reading some trashy soft core porn. I wanted to like this story. I've listened to 1-4 hoping the characters would get some substance but that has yet to happen. Cam is almost as much of a whiner as Blair but Blair isn't supposed to a strong butch. I prefer the secondary characters as they are not as annoying as Cam and Blair. I am still trying to figure out how Cam and Blair fell in love. When they met, Cam was using an escort and Blair had indiscriminate sex at the drop of a hat. Both knew yet that wasn't enough to make either of them think perhaps neither would be a great catch. By book 4 they still to me have no reason to be so head over heels. They have spent minimal time together. It's just not realistic that they would fall in love. There is a lot of sex. If I cared nothing about a story then this book would be ideal. I do care though about the story. This one was disappointing.

Title: Cakewalk Subtitle: A Novel Author: Rita Mae Brown Narrator: Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 10-18-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In this exuberant portrayal of post-WWI small-town sins and Southern mores, Rita Mae Brown revisits Runnymede, Maryland, a most beguiling Southern town and home to the beloved characters introduced in Six of One, Bingo, and Loose Lips. Set against the backdrop of America emerging from World War I, Cakewalk provides an entertaining look at a small town straddling the Mason Dixon line, where the townsfolk remain split between good and bad, or love and sex, or male and female, or politics and sobriety, and the inimitable, irrepressible, distinctly free-thinking Hunsenmier sisters, Louise and Julia - otherwise known as Wheezie and Juts - and their wide circle of equally indelible friends are coming of age. An outrageous, affecting, and surprising story of passion, rivalry, and small town antics only Rita Mae Brown could create. Members Reviews: 5th in the Runneymeade collection It is great fun for a reader to revisit characters and places in a series book. Rita Mae Brown, in her new novel, "Cakewalk", brings her loyal readers back to Runnymede - a small town perched directly on the Mason-Dixon line - and the wonderful characters, including the Hunsenmeier sisters (Juts and Louise), their mother, the beyond beautiful Celeste Chalfonte, and the others we grew to love in "Six of One", "Sand Castles", "Bingo" and "Loose Lips", Brown places "Cakewalk" in the very important year of 1920, where the 18th and 19th Amendments were passed. The book takes place in the spring of the year; the 18th (Prohibition) was already on the books, but the 19th was waiting on a final state - Tennessee - to ratify the amendment. (The story of how the Tennessee house ratified and the one man who voted his conscience is another great political tale, but not one included in "Cakewalk") Brown's "Six of One" really started the Runnymede series and is the strongest book of the five books. (And why is "Six of One" not available in ebook form?) It was in "Six" that Brown introduces her marvelous characters and builds a back story on each. The most interesting character - Celeste Chalfonte - around whom the others circle, was not included in "Bingo" and "Sand Castles", but is brought back in "Cakewalk". Since this book includes the plot points of Celeste's lover, Ramelle" having a child with Celeste's brother, a new lover had to be introduced into the story. And what a surprise that lover is. You'll have to read the book to find out who Celeste falls in love with. Rita Mae Brown doesn't neglect her other characters, all who are brought up-to-date, as of 1920. "Six of One", which ran from 1912 to 1980 was more expansive in time and plot, but "Cakewalk" is right to hone in on one 5 month period. I will never love a book more than Brown's "Six of One" or "Southern Discomfort", but "Cakewalk" is a solid "companion" to "Six". I was given this book as an advanced copy to read and review by Net Galley. I think it will be published in October, 2016. Oh, and if the publishers are reading this review, Celeste and her friends went to Vassar, not Smith.

Selene Rhodes has lived her whole life with a terrible secret: Not only can she take the form of any animal at will, but once a month the full moon transforms her into a fierce wolf-creature without a human conscience. Managing her condition means living by a strict routine, and more importantly, abstaining from intimate relationships with human beings. Selene is convinced that love and friendship can only bring her pain. Forensic pathologist Eve Thomas is well acquainted with the pain of romantic love. Swearing off relationships after having her heart broken by a cheating ex, Eve throws herself into her work: catching murderers. When Selene comes to her aid after an attack by a masked man in Golden Gate Park, Eve is shocked by how powerfully she is drawn to her mysterious savior. Shaken by her own feelings for Eve, Selene is even more terrified to realize she isnt even close to being the scariest monster stalking San Francisco. There is someone out in the city who is killing for pleasure, and his next target is the one woman he thinks might be able to stop him: Eve. Members Reviews: Definitely Wild! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I loved it and wish that they would do all of Meghan O'Brien's books, with Alexandria Wilde as narrator. The story is erotic and different. I loved the characters and story line. Who was your favorite character and why? Eve. She was so open-minded. Her acceptance of Seline's changing was so refreshing. Laughed and cried, My favorite story line. Have you listened to any of Alexandria Wildes other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes and this one is just as good! If you could rename Wild, what would you call it? I wouldn't it's the perfect title... Any additional comments? Please try to get Alexandria Wilde to do Battle Scar by Meghan O'Brien and the others not on audio yet... Emotional Loved every minute of it I really enjoyed this book at me entertained. I love the story about starcrossed lovers Alexandria Wilde makes this story interesting. What did you love best about Wild? The story it's self is a par-normal mystery. However, Selene one of the heroines (who is a shape shifter, for around 30 years) I find it hard to believe she has no clue nor did she ever try to find anyone else like herself since she's computer savvy and highly intelligent. (that whole premise is just screwy) Eve who is the love interest, and a medical examiner for the city is being stalked by a nut job serial killer. Selene in wolf form stops his attack on Eve. Then she goes behind a tree and turns back into her human form and helps Eve. They form an instant attraction. Alexandria Wilde's narration made this story interesting. Without her various voices for each character I don't thing I could have listened to the whole story. Would you recommend Wild to your friends? Why or why not? If you enjoy lesbian, paranormal mystery, with excellent narration then yes it may be worth it for you to listen. Have you listened to any of Alexandria Wildes other performances before? How does this one compare? I love Alexandria Wilde and her narration's I've listened to many of her narrations in erotica, and novels, she has a wonderful voice and can do accents, and different genders, as well as express emotion, and passion.

Wells Narrator: Nick J. Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 125 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Anyone who frequents Collars & Cuffs knows Dorian Forrester is built for pain, including Dorian himself. But everyone has it wrong. For six years, Dorian's chased a feeling that remains tantalizingly out of his reach. Unteachable, Dorian can take anything and everything a Dom can throw at him. Still, it's not enough. Dorian needs...something more, something he won't find at Collars & Cuffs. Dorian's search takes him out of the safe environment he's known for years, out of his depth, and into a realm of deep, dark trouble. Alan Marchant has been watching Dorian with interest for a while and knows there's more to Dorian than his label of "pain slut" suggests. When Dorian disappears, Alan and his friend, Leo, set out to find him. But the disoriented young man discovered cowering in a hotel room is not the Dorian they know and love. That Dorian is shattered. It's up to Alan to pick up the pieces and show Dorian there are better ways to fly. They may be off on a new journey together, but their destination will rock them both to the core. Members Reviews: Dorian and Allen's story The book starts with Dorian unhappy with his lot in life as he sees all his friends around him coupling up. He begins to think something is wrong with him and searches for a way to become fulfilled. He's gone to all the limits he can at "collars and cuffs" so he decides to go to a different club in Berlin to try something new. If things go very badly and he winds up getting into some trouble with some unsavory characters. Allen and Leo end up going to Berlin to search for Dorian when they realize he may be in trouble and they find him badly beaten and Allen in particular decides he wants to take care of Dorian and nurse him back to health. Allen ends up taking Dorian back to his place and proceeds to care for him and help him with his physical and psychological recuperation. Throughout this process Allen comes to really care for Dorian and as Dorian opens up to him they decide to try A contract with each other. The two men both learn to trust and respect each other and we find out that Allen also has some baggage from his past which needs to be dealt with. Dorian has a keen sense of what Allen needs just as Allen seems to know what Dorian needs. Together they must overcome their personal demons and with the help of some of their friends who we have met in earlier books in this series it makes for a great story. Up to this book my favorite one was "Trusting Thomas" but I would have to save this one is probably my second favorite. Nick J Russo does a great job of narrating the audible version. Scorching this is one of the first times i'v read books featuring BDSM and I must say that out of all the ones I've read so far this book has touched me more than any other i'v read. A true work of art. With ever chapter I was drown in more and more. I love the characters. It is a MUST read for anyone who are curious about BDSM. I find this series becoming one of my favorites very fast. Great story !!!! Highly recommended!!! Any additional comments? In the previous books in the series Dorian is portrayed as an unpopular sub, but in this story we discover his true nature and motives. Alan is perfect for him, and expertly handles Dorian, guiding him as his Dom and his lover in his own unique way.

Title: A Kind of Truth Author: Lane Hayes Narrator: Seth Clayton Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-03-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 156 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Rand O'Malley dreams of superstardom. He hopes to one day sing the blues like a god. Moving to New York City and hiring a new manager are steps to make his dreams a reality. But nothing moves as fast as Rand would like, and everyone has opinions, for example that he should keep certain pieces of himself quiet if he plans on making it in the Big Apple. Like his bisexuality. Will Sanders is a gifted musician who dazzles Rand with his ability to coax gorgeous notes from an electric guitar one moment and play the piano like a professional the next. He's a geek, but Rand isn't concerned about Will's pressed exterior clashing with his tattoos. His focus is music. Yet there's something about Will that makes Rand think there's much more to the quiet college student than he lets on. As Rand's dreams begin to materialize, he's forced to reconsider his priorities and find his own kind of truth. One that might include Will. Members Reviews: There's lots to relish in this story... Theres lots to relish about this story. I particularly like single POV narrative, so that was a plus. Rand comes across as a strong character who knows his mind and can stand up for himself and what he wants for his band. For much of the time he oozes confidence and takes control of situations. I like that he is bi and that after he falls for Will he is not seduced or tempted by the viperous Leah. Wills character is interesting. Hes an adorably shy geek and a highly talented musician. Hes also a sexy cross-dressing virgin who becomes the bold Billie. When he wears the make-up, wig, fishnet stockings, and high heels hes transformed, becoming more outgoing and confident. I love how Rand and Will embrace and celebrate this cross-dressing side of his character. In fact, I would have liked this aspect of the story to have been explored more fully. Did Will decide to use the clothes and make-up as a prop to become someone else or was it a reflection of his true self? Love is like a bagel Its a never ending circle. No two are exactly alike, and best of all they come in many flavors. Although both guys are sort of in the closet at the start, their friends and band members soon realize something is going on between them. But for most of the story they have to keep their relationship a secret. I enjoyed the chemistry between Rand and Will, how they spoke to each other, and their explorations into a relationship neither of them had experienced before. Theres lots of banter and fun times for them. I loved how Rand cares and looks out for Will, as well as the sizzling sex scenes. I was happy with the resolution and ending of the story, although I would have liked more book time spent on the events that were raced through in the epilogue when everything was hunky dory. There are several aspects of the story I didnt particularly care for. I couldnt get my head around the massive student loan Will had racked up and this was a major point of the book. It was all tied into the idea of being bribed into going back in the closet and returning home after hed finished his schooling. I wanted him to stand up to his cliched wicked parents and I grew more frustrated with this ongoing issue. Why not tell them no and make his own way in the world with his caring and loving new boyfriend? I didnt want him to give up his happiness with Rand in New York.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 200 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: How long did it take you to find your place in the world?For Ethan Walker, going through the motions of life, keeping his distance, and never getting attached has become the mantra he lives by. Success is measured by how many hours he can work and how little attention he can draw - that was, until he landed on Beau Bennett's radar. Until Beau, Ethan had never met a man who could get him to question his own logic and even consider taking a different path. Beau Bennett knows exactly who he is. It might've takenhim some time to figure it out, but now that he's got his bearings, Beau has set his sights on the mysteriously sexy Ethan Walker. Pursuing someone has never been his style, but something is telling him not to give up, because the end result is going to be worth it. Now that they've found one another, how long will it take Ethan and Beau to accept that their place in the world is together? Ethan is part of the Alluring Indulgence series but can be read as a stand-alone book as well. Warning! This book contains graphic material that is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Members Reviews: Weird narration What did you love best about Ethan? The story! This is one of my favorite books of the series. What did you like best about this story? The story! What three words best describe the narratorss performance? Weird, the narrators switched around within a character. So two different voices or maybe three with one character I think! It was weird. If there was going to be several voices, they each should stick with one... Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? no Any additional comments? One narrator would be better, Great story, confusing narration Would you listen to Ethan again? Why? Yes I would, it is a good story and the characters are everyday people you might know. What three words best describe the narratorss voice? Too many narrators. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I really wanted to but it became a challenge, I had to give my poor ears a rest. It took a while to get used to the different narrators, but that is not the issue really; the issue is that the narrators (this audiobook has 3) didn't stick to one character throughout the book...Ethan's character was performed by 2 sometimes 3 different voices, same with Beau, Mr. Walker, Zane and the whole bunch (and there were a bunch of Walkers). Identifying a character by the narrator's intonation is critical, if they change randomly the listener loses track of dialogues sequence. Some people might be able to overlook this, but I found it confusing and distracting from a GREAT story. Any additional comments? Perhaps if several narrators are needed for a story, maybe each should identify a character and remain that character for the rest of the experience. Hot M/M This book had it all I laughed and I cried. I love how Ethan and Beau came together. Beau may have been the one to start things with a steely determination and Ethan was unable to deny how deeply and profoundly he was affected by the unwavering sexy man in hot pursuit. Ethan held on to his stance to form no attachments even with Beau, and Beau is not willing to simply be another meaningless encounter to Ethan.

Derek Pearson likes to think he's an easygoing guy. Uncomplicated, upfront, and unapologetic with what he wants. His what you see is what you get attitude is on prominent display for anyone who cares to look, and his foul mouth is right there to back it up should you miss the point. However, what you see isn't always what you get, and only a select few have ever glimpsed the real man under the brash exterior. Among them? Professor Jordan Devaney. Complicated, high-maintenance, and vibrant, he's Derek's opposite in every way. From the moment they saw each other, a love-hate relationship began. But what happens when one person wants more? Members Reviews: Love these 2! What did you love best about Devil's Kiss? I think I loved this book even more than Finley, and that completely surprised me! I didn't have a really good feeling about Jordan in that book, he just wasn't very appealing to me and I thought the match-up between he and Derek was kind of weird. But after reading Devil's Kiss I'm happy to say I was wrong, so so wrong! Derek and Jordan are a perfect match, and I couldn't love them more! When they say opposites attract they couldn't be more right when it comes to Derek and Jordan- on one hand you have He-Man, and the other, Posh Spice. Somehow, some way, these 2 just fit. I loved the evolution of their relationship- it took awhile for the time to be just right for them, things just weren't meant to be, until they were. What did you like best about this story? Jordan was such a revelation in this book, he was so not what I was expecting...he was so much more. He was so kind and caring to Derek, from the beginning of their relationship as student and teacher, to the very end. He was exactly the type of person Derek needed in his life. And Derek, oh Derek! Such a tough exterior hiding such vulnerability. I honestly adored these 2 as a couple. I loved their journey. What does Charlie David bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narration was perfect- he did such a great job differentiating 2 such different voices. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Love has no limits and knows no bounds. Great Book 1 was great and was awesome i love it from the beginning to end beautiful. I love books that go straight to the point no grading no shit and Charlie David was awesome as alway. highly recommended... He-Man gets a little "Posh" :) Would you listen to Devil's Kiss again? Why? I sure will. It's well written, completely engrossing and well narrated. What other book might you compare Devil's Kiss to and why? Any other book written by Ella Frank and narrated by Charlie David. What does Charlie David bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He gives the characters dimension, adds depth that can't be recognized in the written words. If you could rename Devil's Kiss, what would you call it? Devil's Kiss. I don't like this question. Any additional comments? This follow up to Finley is not as much of a tear jerker, but it's just as intense. Derek Pearson is Fin's best friend and the man he fell in love with just happens to be Fin's partner, Brantley, best friend.

Title: Amatka Author: Karin Tidbeck Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A surreal debut novel set in a world shaped by language in the tradition of Margaret Atwood and Ursula K. Le Guin. Vanja, an information assistant, is sent from her home city of Essre to the austere, wintry colony of Amatka with an assignment to collect intelligence for the government. Immediately she feels that something strange is going on: People act oddly in Amatka, and citizens are monitored for signs of subversion. Intending to stay just a short while, Vanja falls in love with her housemate, Nina, and prolongs her visit. But when she stumbles on evidence of a growing threat to the colony and a cover-up by its administration, she embarks on an investigation that puts her at tremendous risk. In Karin Tidbeck's world, everyone is suspect, no one is safe, and nothing - not even language nor the very fabric of reality - can be taken for granted. Amatka is a beguiling and wholly original novel about freedom, love, and artistic creation by a captivating new voice. Critic Reviews: "Karin Tidbeck's Amatka is a stunning, truly original exploration of the mysteries of reality and what it means to be human. It's brutally honest and uncompromising in its vision - a brilliant short story writer has been revealed as an even more brilliant novelist. One of my favorite reads of the past few years, an instant classic." (Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy) "Tidbeck reimagines reality and the power of language in her dystopian sci-fi novel...Tidbeck introduces the mysteries and mechanics of her world slowly while leaving the origins of these pioneers opaque. Her ending takes a turn into much weirder territory, but her tense plotting, as well as the questions she raises about language, control, and human limits make this a very welcome speculative fiction novel." (Publishers Weekly) "Karin Tidbeck is a brilliant conjurer of worlds, a fabulist armed with an imagination as fiercely strange as any I have ever encountered. Her fiction is built on a foundation of improbabilities and even outright impossibilities, and if you surrender to its increasingly bold claims on reality you will walk away surprised, thrilled, and in all likelihood changed forever." (Matt Bell, author of Scrapper) Members Reviews: Just awesome Great book!!! The idea of it was fascinating and i couldnt put it down . Narrator was great too!

Unfortunately, he loses sight of the man before they meet and then spends years desperately trying to find him. Just as he is about to give up, Jonathan gets a break and finally encounters David Miller face to face. Successful, confident David turns Jonathan's previously lonely life into a fairy tale, giving him more than he ever imagined. But the years spent searching were hard on Jonathan, and he's terrified his young son and scandalous past will destroy his blossoming relationship. For David and Jonathan to build a future together, they'll both have to dig deep: David for the courage to share himself in a way he's never considered and Jonathan for the strength to tell the truth. Members Reviews: love love LOVED this! Any additional comments? Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books. I've decided, going forward, I'm not writing a blurby bit in my reviews, I'm just going to jump straight in. I've had a few of CC's books recently that didn't quite work for me. Not so here. Jonathon sees, and falls in love with David on a trip to New York. Love at first sight?? certainly for Jonathon. What follows for several years is a massive life changing trip to stay in New York to find David. In New York. With no name or anything. Totally do-able?? nah! Jonathon finds himself in a mess, and then a daddy, and returns home. ONLY to find the love of his life, right there on his doorstep! Oh its a beauty of a meeting, it really is! And then, boom! David is struck by that same bolt of lightening, and also falls in love at first sight, although its a little while before he admits it. Jonathon is just a sweetie, and David, so much more so. He loved Jonathon, unconditionally, and when he discovered what Jonathon had been upto in New York?? OH, just, OH. Everyone should have a David, they really should. And that David took Samuel on as well, without hesitation? Some straight guys should take heed. Following a tried and tested plan by Cardeno, no major breaks ups and make ups, but an added extra chapter since the original was released. Loving these extra bits, and they just all finish off each other. A beautiful story, it really is. This is a book in The Home Series, revamped, and with extra scenes and bonus chapters. There is no need to read them in order, all the time lines overlap, and all the characters pop up at some point or other in the books, and its nice to catch up with them at later or even earlier points on their journeys. I love that. I really do. 5 full stars. **AUDIO REVIEW** *insert whining!* I'm so very sorry!! I tried, so hard to like Alexander Collins' narration of The Home Collection, I really REALLY did. But I just can't and I've no idea why!! I do much prefer his narration of the third person narrative books to the first person, so that's good, cos THIS one is third person.

Walker Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-16 Publisher: Love Lane Books Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 170 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Sutton Station: one of the world's largest working farms in the middle of Australia - where if the animals and heat don't kill you first, your heart just might. Charlie Sutton runs Sutton Station the only way he knows how: the way his father did before him. Determined to keep his head down and his heart in check, Charlie swears the red dirt that surrounds him - isolates him - runs through his veins. American agronomy student Travis Craig arrives at Sutton Station to see how farmers make a living from one of the harshest environments on earth. But it's not the barren, brutal, and totally beautiful landscapes that capture him so completely. It's the man with the red dirt heart. Members Reviews: Awesome ! Any additional comments? This is a great story and now a great audio. Joel Leslie knocks my socks off Wonderful series This is one of my favorite series and I was thrilled it came out on audio. There are 4.5 books in the series and I really hope they all come out in audio. Each book is better than the last IMHO. Joel Leslie's performance is great. It took me a few chapters to get into his characterizations and Australian accents, but once I did, I was swept into the story. This story is set in the Australian Outback on the 3rd largest sheep station in Australia. Charlie, the station owner, is deeply in the closet when an American exchange student comes to the station for three weeks. The story is told from Charlie's POV only and it is heartbreaking that due to "father issues" he has resigned himself to a life of solitude. Therefore he has a lot of trouble accepting the love Travis is offering. The whole thing comes to a head when Travis is almost killed and Charlie is faced with the prospect of him going back to America. Joel Leslie's performance of the highly emotional confrontation at the end brought me to tears. He really knocked it out of the park. Loved Joel Leslie - Kudos! Any additional comments? You know what I love most about this story? Even though it's short, it manages to make me laugh, sigh, cry a little, fan myself, and feel all the fluffy feels. Charlie has been resigning himself to being alone for a long time; his father's harsh words being a constant companion since taking over the station after his dad's death years ago. But Travis breaks through all his walls and barriers and steals Charlie's heart...one nose nudge at a time. And damn if it doesn't make *me* melt every time. Joel Leslie does a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. He sounds authentically Aussie and Texan, brings depth and nuance to the story, and displays every emotion beautifully. Kudos sir, I can't wait to hear Book 2! A beautiful love story with amazing narration It took me a while to finally get to this one, but I am so glad that I did. What I got was a beautiful story of love and acceptance . Joel Leslie's narration was AMAZING as usual, he was spot on the accents. Now off to listen to book 2 :) I adore the book, not the narration What did you like best about Red Dirt Heart? What did you like least? I bought RDH1 because I loved reading it, but the narration just did not work for me. There are other narrators who are better suited to perform stories set in Australia.

Title: Better Than Good Author: Lane Hayes Narrator: Tyler Stevens Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 03-24-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 299 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: *A Better Than Story* Matt Sullivan understands labels: law student, athlete, heterosexual. He has goals: graduate and begin his career in law. One fateful night, Matt tags along with his gay roommate to a dance club and everything changes. Matt finds himself attracted to the most beautiful man he's ever seen. All labels go flying out the window. Aaron Mendez doesn't believe in labels, and he's leery of straight curious men. He makes it clear that he'll hide his fabulous light for no one. While Aaron can't deny the attraction between him and Matt, he is reluctant to start anything with someone who is still dealing with what this new label means--especially when that someone has a girlfriend. Members Reviews: Gay for you romance w/ surprisingly minimal angst This is one of my favorite gay-for-you stories that I've read recently. Or actually, Matt is more bisexual, but he's only had one previous gay experience and we don't really have much interaction between him and his ex-girlfriend, so... Anyway, I thought this was well written. I really liked both Aaron and Matt's personalities, though I can't help wishing I could've gotten Aaron's POV as well. Matt is your standard all American, former jock, pre-law student and Aaron is the older, femme-y, out-and-proud, makeup-wearing gay guy. I liked that there wasn't any big drama with Matt's ex. No evil girlfriends here. Sexual tension was good, and the Matt's big declaration scene was over-the-top sweet and romantic, but if you're expecting edge of your seat action, this won't be for you. Tyler Stevens did a great job narrating the story. He used the right pace so it was easy to follow the story, there was a good variety between character voices so I could tell who was speaking without any difficulty. All in all this was an enjoyable listening experience. Better than good, it's fantastic! If you could sum up Better Than Good in three words, what would they be? Romantic, Light hearted, Fun. Who was your favorite character and why? Aaron! He is so unapologetically gay and I just loved that about him. Which scene was your favorite? The first time they had sex. The way Aaron calls him Mattie and how careful Matt is with Aaron, it was sort of beautiful, definitely sensual. If you could take any character from Better Than Good out to dinner, who would it be and why? Aaron. I would have a blast with this guy, I swear. Any additional comments? Matt Sullivan is out having drinks with some friends when they decide to accompany their gay roommate to his favorite bar. Matt has no idea that his head is about to turn, and his life is about to change. He notices the flamboyant, beautiful and boisterous Aaron straight away and the two end up talking at the bar. Over the next few days the colorful guy at the bar is all Matt can think about. As luck would have it, they wind up meeting again. Aaron is standoffish at first, certain that Matt is nothing more than curious, but the chemistry, conversation and connection is magnetic. Hesitantly, the two become just friends, of a slightly flirtatious nature. Matt struggles throughout the story with his future, but aside from a little hesitancy early on, I never got the feeling that he really struggled with his feelings for Aaron.

Title: Down and Dirty Subtitle: Cole McGinnis Mysteries Author: Rhys Ford Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 273 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Cole McGinnis Mystery From the moment former LAPD detective Bobby Dawson spots Ichiro Tokugawa, he knows the man is trouble. And not just because the much younger Japanese inker is hot, complicated, and pushes every one of Bobby's buttons. No, Ichi is trouble because he's Cole McGinnis' younger brother and off-limits in every possible way. And Bobby knows that even before Cole threatens to kill him for looking Ichi's way. But despite his gut telling him Ichi is bad news, Bobby can't stop looking...or wanting. Ichi was never one to play by the rules. Growing up in Japan as his father's heir, he'd been bound by every rule imaginable until he had enough and walked away from everything to become his own man. Los Angeles was supposed to be a brief pitstop before he moved on, but after connecting with his American half brothers, it looks like a good city to call home for a while--if it weren't for Bobby Dawson. Bobby is definitely a love-them-and-leave-them type, a philosophy with which Ichi wholeheartedly agrees. Family was as much of a relationship as Ichi was looking for, but something about the gruff and handsome Bobby Dawson makes him want more. Much, much more. Members Reviews: The book was meh but the narration rocked! *3.5 stars, rounded up because the audiobook narrator, Greg Tremblay, is a-mazing* I hold this series VERY close to my heart, and so I was dying to read Bobby and Ichi's story. However, it was only my love for these characters (and the narration, but we'll get to that later) that made this one bearable, to be honest. The hard truth is that there is VERY little plot in this story. The time frame jumps around because this book takes place during Dirty Deeds. One of the most difficult things about this story is that it is interspersed between the happenings of "Dirty Deeds." It didn't feel like its own independent story, but rather an offshoot of another, larger plot, which was really disappointing for me. Part of that was my expectations. The Cole McGinnis books are so action-packed, so exciting that I was anticipating something more EXPLOSIVE. I didn't get that at all. This book is all about Bobby and Ichi coming together, which really wasn't enough to carry the story for me. At times, I found myself growing bored (GASP), which NEVER happens with a Rhys Ford book. The problem is, I'm not sure if there was any way around my issues. The way the last book ended, this book HAD to take place during the last story, so the author was forced to mold a book to fit around that premise. I just found it sort of dull... flat. If I was going to rate this book on the content alone, I would have rated 2.5-3 stars. However, the narration saved this book and it saved it BIG TIME. I adore Greg Tremblay. It is no secret to those who read my reviews that I'm a huge fan-girl of his. He just puts so much of himself into his work. His voices, his inflections... they are just PERFECT. This series feels like a labor of love for the narrator, and it shows in the quality of his performance. Listening to Greg embrace the characters easily bumped up my rating of this book a full star or more. I think this book is reserved for only the most hard-core fans of this series, or audiobook lovers.

Stars & Stripes Audiobook by Abigail Roux

Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 374 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have managed the impossible: a few months of peace and quiet. After nearly a year of personal and professional turmoil, they're living together conflict free, work is going smoothly, and they're both happy, healthy, and home every night before dark. But anyone who knows them knows that can't possibly last. When an emergency call from home upsets the balance of their carefully arranged world, Ty and Zane must juggle family drama with a perplexing crime to save a helpless victim before time runs out. From the mountains of West Virginia to a remote Texas horse ranch harboring more than just livestock and childhood memories, Ty and Zane must face their fears - and their families - to overcome an unlikely enemy and bring peace back into their newly shared world. Members Reviews: Going Home Isn't Easy- Humorous & Passionate Susp. Would you consider the audio edition of Stars & Stripes to be better than the print version? No, they are both a wonderful way to experience the story. But that said, the audio version was a fantastic option that I wouldn't want to miss. The narrator, JF Harding, captured the characters and told me a story so well that I felt like I was in the middle of everything and engaging in the action. What other book might you compare Stars & Stripes to and why? This book is part of what I consider one of the best romantic suspense series out there though it's hard for me to compare because most of the ones I've read don't stick with the same main characters all the way through. I think JD Robb's In Death series is the only other one I've read that I like as much. I prefer this series because it is multi-faceted running deep on character and relationship development, providing a complex mystery, and some pretty exciting action and passion scenes. Dialogue, tone, and just overall story are hard to beat. Which scene was your favorite? No one scene- both 'coming out to the family' scenes are the hold your breath types, little moments when Ty or Zane would revel in why each loves his partner, and I loved the shooting competition. Who was the most memorable character of Stars & Stripes and why? Oy yi yi! That is tough. Nope, can't be done narrowing it down to one. The main characters are always memorable for their dialogue and characters and relationship set against the background of working a case. But Ty's entire Grady family can't be missed. Trust me. Everyone must meet the Gradys. Then there are Zane's parents. One adores his dad and wants a dad like him, but his mother is a piece of work that I wanted to pinch and hug Zane every time she'd tear off a chunk of him with her cold-hearted words or behavior. Totally memorable. And props to Barnum the tiger with the floppy ear and love at first sight for Ty who is terrified of large cats. See? I can't not name them all. Any additional comments? This book is part of an ongoing series story arc so really shouldn't be listened to out of order. The relationship and character development have been ongoing even if the case is solved by the end of the story. Great new narrator!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend the whole Cut & Run series, with this book as probably my favorite. The most compelling gay romance ever.

Snow Falls Audiobook by Gerri Hill

Title: Snow Falls Author: Gerri Hill Narrator: Sara Hawthorne Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-13 Publisher: Bella Books, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 325 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jennifer Kincaid, on her way to a writer's workshop in the Colorado mountain town of Lake City, gets lost and is stranded by an avalanche. Catherine Ryan-Barrett, running from the fame and fortune of her family name, wants nothing more to spend the winter alone and sequestered in her high mountain cabin. She is not prepared for a party crasher. After spending two months together, they form an unlikely friendship that deepens even further. But after the spring thaw, Jen leaves and returns to her life in Santa Fe and to the man who wants to marry her. All she knows of the woman who rescued her is her name... Ryan. Members Reviews: Good story, but craved a bit more 'depth.' What made the experience of listening to Snow Falls the most enjoyable? "attention Spoiler alert" ... As a gay woman, I enjoyed this romance book as it was a lesbian love story. I enjoyed how the characters developed and grew as individuals and together. I wish the author didn't spend so much time on developing Jen and Ryan's 'friendship' and, instead, spent more time on developing their romantic connection and what happened afterwards. I think it was too easy of a 'fix' in the end - and though I did enjoy the ending - it just felt a bit too rushed for me. If there was a sequel or trilogy of these two and how their love manages in 'reality' that would have been nice. But, overall, I was pleased to see a well-written lesbian love story on audible that was not all about sex, however, when these two 'did' fall in love and decide to be with each other, I wish it had been less about their sexual intimacy and more emphasis placed on the other layers of intimacy they shared. I still have no idea if they have anything (other then sex) in common. A bit more depth and you would have had me crying with the ending. Also Jen's character never grew on me. She was a 'one note' character. Ryan, at least, became three-dimensional, eventually. What was one of the most memorable moments of Snow Falls? When Ryan showed up at Jen's house unexpectedly and then left her after sex. It was a good bit. I liked how it showed depth in Ryan's character. It made her seem three-dimensional. Would you listen to another book narrated by Sara Hawthorne? No. Hated her lack of skill in reading a book. She has no talent in voice 'acting.' All the characters sounded the same. She made Jen sound like she was stupid and 'slow.' Won't listen to her again, no matter what book she reads. Boring voice. If you could rename Snow Falls, what would you call it? I would have called it something that showed it was a love story. Some suggestion are: 1. Breath of Love; 2. Love's First Breath; 3. Love's New Day; 4. Falling on Snow; 5. Tumbling Towards Love; or, 6. Dear Ryan. Any additional comments? I will read this author again with a different narrator. I hope she has written some more lesbian fiction. Omg best book ever I really loves this story. it had a great flow to it. very engaging and realistic in a lot of areas. I did feel it could of been longer and some areas really didn't need to be there . However this is a must read for anyone who loves romance. update... I can't get enough, this is such a romantic book I have read it over and over.. the ending..

The Spiral Down Audiobook by Aly Martinez

Title: The Spiral Down Author: Aly Martinez Narrator: Aiden Snow, Teddy Hamilton Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Standalone M/M romance novel. I was afraid to fly. He made me soar. After years of climbing the ladder of success in the music industry, I finally had everything I could want. Yet I still found myself wandering through life alone. Captain Evan Roth was the one man I never saw coming. Tall, dark, mysterious...Straight. We were both damaged beyond repair and searching for something so elusive we weren't sure it even existed. But, when two broken souls collide in midair, falling is a given. I just never expected to crave the spiral down. Members Reviews: I want these two narrators to read ALL my books So I've been a little meh about MM audiobooks lately (the newest popular narrators are not really my jam), so The Spiral Down was just what I needed in so many ways. Aly Martinez is a favorite already because I looove the Broken Course series. So I snapped this right up when I saw it. I wanted to shake Henry several times because I thought he said and did some really stupid shit. Evan was so good to him, and just when I was fantasizing that Henry actually would go down in a plane (jk, but Henry was kind of a jerk at times), Aly Martinez made him seem more lovable-flawed-human than asshole-undeserving-of-Evan. No surprise there -- this is the author who managed to make me root for Sarah from the BC books. So, while I had moments of doubt while I listened, I hung in there and ended up loving the book and Henry as well. And Evan obviously. As for the narration - Aiden Snow is already a favorite and I am thrilled more of my favorite narrators are doing mm now. Frankly, I've been in a mm-audio funk lately bc I'm seemingly the only one that isn't a big fan of the 3 or 4 narrators that are doing basically everything mm right now. HOWEVER, I really hope to hear mr. deep-and-sexy reading more mm in the future. because he absolutely kills it in every book I've ever listened to narrated by him. Teddy Hamilton is another favorite. Henry was kind of all over the map emotionally and Hamilton does a really good job of conveying it all. Frankly, even if the book sucked, I would've finished it for their narration alone. I couldn't get into the story, it was irritating Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Not really, because I was disappointed by the story, it didn't live up to my expectations. It started out okay, but I never grew to really like either Henry or Evan. Their chase-and-retreat relationship and personalities came off as immature and silly. It took me forever to finish and even then, I skimmed to the end. What could Aly Martinez have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I found both Henry's reasons for pushing Evan away and Evan's resistance were very contrived and overly dramatic. What three words best describe Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton s performance? Good dual narration. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No, because the story just didn't do it for me. Any additional comments? I got the Audible version for $1.99 after reading the eBook on Kindle Unlimited for free, so did Whipersync and alternately read or listened when I couldn't read. I didn't listen to the entire book, but even though the story was disappointing, I liked having the narrative and don't regret paying for it. Perfection I adored this!!! So damn good. A fantastic M/M.

Strong Enough Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Narrator: Ezekiel Robison Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 147 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When a casual hookup turns into the potential for love, staid Spencer realizes he wants to build a life with vibrant Emilio. When 22-year-old Emilio Sanchez sees handsome Spencer Derdinger walking by his construction site, Emilio makes it his goal to seduce the shy professor. Getting Spencer into bed isn't difficult, but Emilio soon learns that earning the trust of a man deeply hurt will take time and patience. With a prize like brilliant, sweet Spencer on the line, Emilio decides he is strong enough to face the challenge. Spencer is surprised when he's approached by the gorgeous construction worker he's admired from the safety of his office window. Acting spontaneously for the first time in his 38 years, Spencer takes Emilio home. When the casual hookup turns into the potential for love, Spencer realizes that if he wants to build a life with Emilio, he'll need to be strong enough to slay his personal demons and learn to trust again. Members Reviews: Its official: I adore Ezekiel Robison! Any additional comments? Ezekiel Robison's narration is consistently terrific. He offers new character voices for each new story, not just reusing the same old, same old. He also keeps track of the character voices from previous stories and when those characters show up, he uses the right voices. Its such a treat to listen to Robison! Robison brings such depth to the characters, he highlights Spencers vulnerability and Emilios protective instincts, he makes their insta-love believable, and he absolutely sets the audio on fire with the hot sex scenes. That shower scene alone is worth the price of the audio book. For reals. I ADORE this story and cannot help but fangirl and squee all over this! Bottom Line: This is super sweet, charming, gloriously hot and sexy and fabulously entertaining. Add the fabulous narration and its a WINNER! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Strong Enough Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it's a different kind of HEA with a different road the MC's have to travel to find their happiness. Who was your favorite character and why? Emilio. Ever patient, strong, devoted and passionate about Spencer from the start. Which scene was your favorite? Emilio and Spencer finally, fully consummating their relationship. Who was the most memorable character of Strong Enough and why? Spencer. He never gave up. Any additional comments? Spencer Derdinger has never been lucky in love. Losers and abusers is all he seems to attract. A direct result of his past and the trauma he's endured, Spencer has a bit of an ED issue. When he meets sexy, enigmatic and genuinely sweet Emilio Sanchez, everything changes. For the first time in his life, someone actually cares about Spencer. Not just on a physical level, no, Emilio wants to court him, take care of him, give Spencer the attention and devotion a man deserves from his partner. But the issues of the past keep Spencer on guard and a lifetime of being told you're not good enough threatens to derail his new relationship with Emilio before they are running at full speed. It took me about an hour roughly to get into the story. It was very much insta-love and I don't usually care for that type of story. CC is a master at making it work and delivering HEA for her characters each and every time though, so I stuck it out and I'm pleased that I did.

Title: Dare to Stay Author: Georgia Beers Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 208 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Junebug Farms, a successful, well-known animal shelter in upstate New York, where every day brings something new - love, stress, heartbreak, warmth - and not just from the animals. Since inheriting Junebug Farms from her grandmother, Jessica Barstow's life revolves around it, and she has no time or energy for much else. Not hobbies. Not fun. Not love - certainly not love. And the new, young, and hip TV reporter who's been sent to host the upcoming fundraising telethon isn't going to change that - even though it seems like she wants to change everything else. Sydney Taylor has zero desire to cover human interest stories in some Podunk, upstate New York hamlet, but that's where she's landed - for now. So she'll make the best of it until she can get something bigger. In the meantime, she is assigned to host the annual live fundraising telethon for some local animal shelter. It's just a job; she doesn't have time to get attached. And it doesn't matter that the rigid, keeps-to-herself CEO of the shelter is resistant to anything Sydney suggests. Or that she's super attractive and sexy. That doesn't matter at all.... Members Reviews: Telethon Love Wow! Ms. Beers surprises at every turn! Finally rid of Anna! Sheesh !! Another book that has so many twists and turns -- this lady writes with so much passion and deep character insights! This is another gem -- puppy love is a great series -- more please! Ms Beers nerve disappoints!! Keep on writing !! Really good book. Great story, loved how all three books tied in together. the ending like the first book was kinda short, but it left alot yo imagine. again the narration was really done well. the story was enjoyable. not the best, not the worst storyline was aan little slow and the characters weren't developped deep enough. The narrator made up for the missing atmosphere of the story. I feel like this story didn't reach it's potential. Generally ok. another one I love Georgia Beers books and stories. She tries to keep us guessing, but, there is a theme of how she writes. So, I'm thinking there will be another book (I'm hoping) because the abrupt ending in this 3rd was "What!!" reaction. come on Ms. Beers give us an epilogue like the 2nd book. It's still a great story. And Abby Craden does a great read. I just wish she keeps the same voices. I get why she changes them from book to book. It's still weird to hear Jessica's voice in book 2 becomes Kat's voice in this book. Jessica's voice in this book was Kat's voice in book 2!! But, you get use to it. I have to say book 2 was my favorite even though this was still worth it. Wanting for more Great story, great writing, no fluff, no wordiness... just good writing! And the narrator.... wow what a sexy voice!!

Title: Fighting Instinct Subtitle: L'Ange, Book 2 Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Tristan James Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 287 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: L'Ange: Book Two Only a privileged few know L'Ange's head of security, Arman de Soto, is a shifter, and even fewer know he's been systematically killing off a pack of werewolves. The reason for this vengeance is a secret Arman trusts with no one, quite the opposite of his obvious longtime pursuit of the chateau's overseer, Linus Hobbes. Despite Arman's reputation as a loner, the only thing he needs to complete his life is Linus. Predator and prey just don't mix, but Arman won't give him up. Linus has lived alone for more than seven years, sheltered at L'Ange under an assumed name and hiding secrets of his own, including his terrifying attraction to the most dangerous man he's ever met. Arman knows Linus should be afraid of the predator stalking him, but Linus is still drawn to him like a moth to a flame no matter how much he tries to deny his instincts. It's not until Linus's past and Arman's crusade exposes their secrets and opens L'Ange to attack that Arman realizes waiting any longer is a risk he just can't take. So he'll have to take his quest to the source of the threat in a gamble to protect L'Ange, Linus, and any future they might have together. Members Reviews: Gotta Love Mary Calmes and Tristan James together Would you listen to Fighting Instinct again? Why? Yes - I love Linus! What other book might you compare Fighting Instinct to and why? Well - obviously Old Loyalty, Mary's other shifter books and All Kinds of Tied Down. It's very heartwarming and funny with only a little angst. Have you listened to any of Tristan Jamess other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes and he's always amazing. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I loved the part where the guys make Arman the Alpha - so hysterical! Any additional comments? We met Arman in Old Loyalty, New Love. He was the mysterious bodyguard who helped protect Roman and Quade. Though we were led to believe he was interested in a certain jackal named Tucker, we find out quickly that this was a red-herring, serving to stir jealousy in the heart of Linus.Linus is the fastidious and cold caretaker of LAnge. Its clear hes been abused in his past and we learn early on just how terrible that abuse was. Arman has been Linus protector and often his touchstone for years, but the time has come for that relationship to develop to its full potential and Arman isnt waiting any longer.Arman is a man of mystery. We dont know what he is, though we all think he must be a shifter it isnt until quite a bit into the story that we figure out just what he is. (I think everyone will be surprised by the reveal!)In addition to hiding who he is, he also hides what he does. We find out that he has an agenda- a vendetta really of epic proportions. This vendetta makes him almost an anti-hero. Hes definitely not the typical perfect Alpha we have seen in other Mary Calmes stories. Hes got a dark side that hes embraced fully.Surprisingly, Linus is perfectly okay with this dark side and in fact, he too embraces the vendetta and we see some pretty significant changes in his personality as a result of this.One of the things I really liked about this story was that Linus and Arman get together pretty early on.

Title: Sorting Out Subtitle: Fitting In, Book 2 Author: Silvia Violet Narrator: Greg Boudreaux Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-16 Publisher: Silvia Violet Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 82 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jack, Gray, and Mason have accepted that love comes in many flavors and settled into a three-way relationship. Things haven't been easy, and now that Mason has gone back to school and Gray is interested in a detective position, Jack is feeling lonely. His lovers aren't around very often, and he misses lying around in bed, enjoying the benefits of living with two hot men. But Jack has secrets. He's uncomfortable every time he puts his uniform on. He's never recovered from seeing Mason held hostage, and he's no longer sure he was meant to be a cop. While stressing over his own future and facing pressure from Gray and Mason to bring their relationship out of the closet, Jack is severely wounded in the line of duty. His recovery, both physical and emotional, might be more than their unconventional relationship can bear. Jack is going to need all the courage and support his lovers can give him if he's going to bring himself back from the dead and create the life he wants to live. Members Reviews: Great followup for Gray, Jack and Mason Would you consider the audio edition of Sorting Out to be better than the print version? Yes, I love when a narrator can truly bring the characters to life. If youve listened to books by Silvia Violet before, how does this one compare? It's a continuation of book 1 so about the same I guess What does Greg Boudreaux bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings the written characters to life and gives them depth that the print version can't possibly give. If you could rename Sorting Out, what would you call it? I don't understand this question. What's wrong with the title the Author gave the story? Any additional comments? Sorting it Out picks up Jack, Gray and Mason's story where it left off at the end of 'Fitting In'. When Gray gets promoted to Detective, it cause a slight rift at home. With Jack's mind preoccupied - he still feels helpless after Mason being held at gunpoint - add to that Gray's promotion and the fact that they aren't partners at work anymore and Jack is left questioning himself. Then he gets shot on the job and all that does is add one more thing to his confusion... does he even want to be a cop anymore? This was a wonderful but rocky continuation to this working threesomes story. They finally come out and though it lifts a weight off their shoulders not to have to hide or lie about what they mean to each other anymore, it doesn't come without it's complications. Not everyone is understanding of same sex relationships as it is, make it a threesome and it's even more so. I think what I loved most about this book was Jack's journey of self awareness. And while these three are always sexy and passionate, I thought the sexual content in this book bordered on too much. It didn't always add to or advance the story, a couple times it was sex just for the sake of adding more sex, and that didn't work for me. Narrated by Greg Boudreaux (the spicier side of Greg Tremblay) and as usual, his tones and nuances were utter perfection. While each characters has their own unique and specific tone, I really, really enjoy hearing him voice Mason and his adorable naivete. These three men love each other in abundance and that really comes through in the narration. Greg Boudreaux is awesome. His performance saved this story for me.

I love how the team have become like a family. I love Watts character, he brings humor to the book! Can't wait to get the last one and how the story will end.

Another winner Radclyffe does it again I will no move on to the final book of the Justice series. I'm anxious to see what twists and turns await. Quality and Consistency Continue Love the way the same characters renew there roles to continue the story.. Effortless Interweaving story lines "Ally" from the First Responder Series into the mix.. Can't wait to hear more.

Title: Superhero Author: Eli Easton Narrator: Tristan Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 05-28-14 Publisher: Harmony Ink Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 270 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It's not easy for a young gay artist like Jordan Carson to grow up in Jefferson, Wisconsin, where all anyone seems to care about in middle school and high school are the sports teams. But Jordan was lucky. He met Owen Nelson in the second grade, and they've been BFFs ever since. Owen is a big, beautiful blond and their school's champion wrestler. No one messes with Owen, or with anyone close to him, and he bucks popular opinion by keeping Jordan as his wingman even after Jordan comes out at school. Their friendship survives, but Jordan's worst enemy may be himself: he can't seem to help the fact that he is head-over-heels in love with a hopeless case - his straight friend, Owen. Owen won't let anything take Jordan's friendship away, but he never counted on Jordan running off to find a life of his own. Owen will have to face the nature of their relationship if he's to win Jordan back. Members Reviews: WOW! So cute! What a cute m/m romance.. You just know that HEA is gonna be so squeezable and cute.I really enjoy this... learning about the BBF turned to lovers... I totally enjoyed it.. Totally worth a credit or buy... Narration was ok.. not the best..but not horrible. Cute story. Lovable characters Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it is a quick and sweet story. It borders on young adult to new adult. Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Jordan and Owen, both! What does Tristan Wright bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice was perfect for the age of the guys. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, it is short enough to listen to Any additional comments? This is my first book narrated by Tristan Wright. He was great, except it his voice did not waver at all between characters. His switch in POV was difficult at times. He would state Owen or Jordan's name, and if you were not listening closely, you could miss it. He was seamless in his transition which made it difficult to figure out if he was still reading or switching between characters. His voice was perfect for this age group and I would give him a "try" again. Great YA story Loved this story. Not as much as Blame It On The Mistletoe but it's a close second. I highly recommend. Short and sweet If you could sum up Superhero in three words, what would they be? Charming and adorable. What other book might you compare Superhero to and why? Rainbow High, and not just for the obvious high school affiliation, but for the coming of age story told so well in both. Any additional comments? This is my first audio book with Tristan Wright as narrator and he is spectacular! I will be looking (and hoping) for him as narrator in all my future audiobooks. Story adorable, narration painful The narrator is fine - it's the complete lack of editing that is just jarring. No pauses between chapter titles, POV shifts, sections. Three times lines were repeated with different tones, meaning they were different takes and both were included. It's a sloppy audiobook. That said, the story is really sweet and charming and I enjoyed it a lot. Too bad about the crappy audio editing.

At night she sculpts stone, pouring her dreams and desires into the figures she chisels. Then two women enter her life, one offering her passion, the other fame. Rooke's choice may expose her secrets and change her life - if she follows her heart. Members Reviews: Secret in the Stone was a heart warming awesome tale. Secrets is the story of a journalist, who comes back to house sit her Grandmother's house only to find a tree has fall and knocked the Stone chimney down. Leaving her in need of someone who works in stone. Enter Rook, Stone carving artist with a secret. As with all Radclyffe book, Its never that simple for two people to just fall in love. First they have to stop being angry at each other, the evil woman with sixth powers needs to stop messing with them. And the journalist family need stop trying to run her life. And that not even the Secret. I loved this book. I have read this book many times. I love it. The audio version is great . My wish? We get a new book by Radclyffe where we see Adrienne and Rook do something fun w/ Jude Castle and Saxon Sinclair. Now that's a book I look forward to. SECRETS IN THE STONE As with all of Radclyffe's novels this was no exception, very entertaining and enjoyable. Get it. Too much Most used words in the book. Over and over and over. Twitch Hard Thick These women have to be the most sex crazed people on the planet. And the basic moral of the story is that if your c*** twitches every two seconds for a nice person, you are in love and will be forever. If the actual storyline had been allowed to be fleshed out, it might have been good. As it stands, read it to laugh or have a drinking game regarding all the twitching. Another Life Man that Radclyffe is a sho nuff writer! I mean what can't she wrote about!! I was sensing though that there was something mystical going on -- like another life with those two lovers and that the art agent was also there with them!! I feel like this could be another story line around the two lovers!! Any way she writes is ok with me -- a marvelous, well thought out, sensual and deductive story!!

Title: Mad Lizard Mambo Subtitle: The Kai Gracen Series, Book 2 Author: Rhys Ford Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 206 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Kai Gracen has no intention of being anyone's pawn. A pity Fate and SoCalGov have a different opinion on the matter. Licensed Stalkers make their living hunting down monsters and dangerous criminals, and their lives are usually brief, brutal, and thankless. Despite being elfin and cursed with a nearly immortal lifespan, Kai didn't expect to be any different. Then Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court, arrived in San Diego, and Kai's not-so-mundane life went from mild mayhem to full-throttle chaos. Now an official liaison between the growing Sidhe Court and the human populace, Kai is at Ryder's beck and call for anything a High Lord might need a Stalker to do. Unfortunately for Kai, this means chasing down a flimsy rumor about an ancient lost Court somewhere in the Nevada desert - a court with powerful magics that might save Ryder's - and Kai's - people from becoming a bloody memory in their Merged world's violent history. The race for the elfin people's salvation opens unwelcome windows into Kai's murky past, and it could also slam the door on any future he might have with his own kind and Ryder. Members Reviews: For fans of fantasy! Any additional comments? Seriously, Rhys Ford does some really excellent and damn interesting world building with this series. But it's Greg Tremblay that elevates this to auditory art. This story was like listening to a graphic novel come to life. Greg Tremblay perfectly captures the action and excitement of the story and brings it to life. The story and the narration is an experience. This isn't a romance. While it has hints of possible romance to happen in the series, it's first and foremost a fantasy story. In this installment elfin outcast and Stalker Kai Gracen is once again importuned to help Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court. The action in this start heavy and doesn't stop until the very end. It's a roller coaster ride that all I can say is hold on to your seat, 'cause it gets bumpy on this ride! I had such a great time listening to this and that has everything to do with Greg Tremblay's wonderful narration. His accents, pacing and timing are all absolutely perfect for this story (and series).

Can love and passion survive the unforgiving storms of change? In the continuing saga of the Provincetown Tales, Reese Conlons obligations to family and country are put to the test as war engulfs the Middle East, while her partner Tory King must chose between her career and motherhood when her family is disrupted. While friends and family struggle with the fears and uncertainties of a world in strife, the small seaside town is rocked by a series of crimes that suggest newly arrived real estate entrepreneur, Ricarda Grechi, may have connections to more than just the business world. State Police Detective Carter Wayne intends to find out. Members Reviews: STORMS OF CHANGE Finished this one and on my way to the next. Just keeps getting better and better. I am really enjoying listening to this series. Amazing fantastic book as usual. well written amazing character development. very sweet romance, and a show of what family truly is. Hooked on Provintown Tales!! Radclyffe's writing is wonderfully done, allowing you to live within the book. Character development is top notch and diverse. Nicol Zanzarella is an amazing narrator and I love her accents for the soo many characters! ! Another Another great series by Radclyffe. I like the changes Nicol Zanzarella does with the characters. Still Good Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would. But I would also recommend that my friend start from book one and work they're way up. This is one of the few series that each book is as good as the last. Who was your favorite character and why? In this one, it was Tory. Seeing what she had to go through while Reese was in the middle east was heartbreaking. Which scene was your favorite? When Tory met Reese's father for the first time. That was so cool. Who was the most memorable character of Storms of Change and why? General Colon, cause up to that point he was only a name. Any additional comments? Just like the first three, Storms Of Change is well written and well narrated. Once again, Nicol Zanzarella did another masterful job. Reese was called to war and her wife Tory was left with their daughter and a lot of 'what if's'. Meanwhile, Carter Wayne is undercover in the hopes of getting evidence against reputed mob boss, Alfonse Pareto but ends up falling in love with his daughter, Rica who has her own problems with a crazy cousin who thinks that she's his. Highly recommended.

General Dieter von Adolwulf has led the Scarlet Army of Kria to victory for the past decade, holding the infamous field known as the Regenbogen against Kria's hated enemies - the deceptive Illussor and the ruthless Salharans. War has waged between the three nations for longer than anyone can remember, but no one has held the Regenbogen as well as the notorious Wolf of Kria and his fearsome army. A man who fears nothing... Returning home at the end of the year, the Scarlet Army is attacked in the dead of night by a single man who manages to kill hundreds before he is finally captured. A Salharan soldier with no name, no purpose but to kill, he refuses to bend to the Wolf who takes him prisoner and forces upon him a despicable Krian name. A man with nothing to lose... When the rest of his army is slaughtered by Illussor soldiers desperately seeking his prisoner, Dieter determines to hold fast - both for answers and in revenge for the men he lost. But answers and revenge are hard to come by when surrounded by secrets and treachery, and the man least likely to kill him is the prisoner who most wants him dead. Members Reviews: Entertaining, Action packed, & well written. A riveting tale, it is enjoyable start to finish. The characters are rich and dynamic. There is just enough of a lead to make the plot twist believable but surprising. Tedious I got the sense that this story was written as serialized fan fiction. Not sure if there was an editor here. Most of the story was told through really tedious expository conversations, there were huge holes in the logic and story world and both romances were really superficial and unsexy. Despite a very good narrator, this story was a real slog to finish. I love this book! I loved listening too this book and Sean Criden is a great narrater, he makes everything come alive! I wish the rest of the series had been made in to audio book as well, with the same narrater too <3 Oh well.

The Mating of Michael Audiobook by Eli Easton

Title: The Mating of Michael Author: Eli Easton Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 307 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Everyone admires Michael Lamont for being a nurse, but his part-time work as a gay sex surrogate not only raises eyebrows, it's cost him relationships. Michael is small, beautiful, and dedicated to working with people who need him. But what he really wants is a love of his own. He spends most of his time reading science fiction, especially books written by his favorite author and long-time crush, the mysteriously reclusive J.C. Guise. James Gallway's life is slowly but inexorably sliding downhill. He wrote a best-selling science fiction novel at the tender age of 18, while bedridden with complications of polio. But by 28, he's lost his inspiration and his will to live. His sales from his J.C. Guise books have been in decline for years. Wheelchair bound, James has isolated himself, convinced he is unlovable. When he is forced to do a book signing and meets Michael Lamont, he can't believe a guy who looks like Michael could be interested in a man like him. Michael and James are made for each other. But they must let go of stubbornness to see that life finds a way and love has no limitations. Members Reviews: Equal parts sweet, funny, sexy, and touching. Would you consider the audio edition of The Mating of Michael to be better than the print version? I read the ebook several months ago, and while I loved it even back then, the audio version just made it even better. Even the parts which I thought made the ebook drag in places (namely the excerpts from James' novel between chapters) didn't bother me in the audio version and actually made me interested in reading the full version of that story. What other book might you compare The Mating of Michael to and why? It's hard to say since I haven't read a lot of romance stories where one of the characters has a disability. But I guess, "The Rebuilding Year" by Kaje Harper, "Dance With Me" by Heidi Cullinan, "Never a Hero" by Marie Sexton and "Puzzle Me This" by Eli Easton have similar themes, but they weren't as sweet as The Mating of Michael and had different conflicts. What about Michael Stellmans performance did you like? Michael Stellman just has the kind of voice I enjoy listening to. It's nice, deep, slightly husky and he reads at just the right pace. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I listened to it for several hours and would have kept going till the end if it weren't for the fact that my ears needed a rest from being squashed by my headphones. Pain was the only thing that kept me from listening to it in one sitting. Any additional comments? If you're looking for some hurt/comfort with lovely, likeable characters who also happen to be SciFi geeks with a dash of snark and great chemistry, with a good narrator, you'll love this. When I first read the blurb for the ebook, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it since I'd never read a romance where one of the main characters has a major disability or where the other character is a sex surrogate (which was something I'd seen in a TLC documentary before, so I knew what the profession entailed). It was a new dynamic that made me pause for a bit, but since I'd already bought all of Eli Easton's other stories and enjoyed them, I decided to trust her and read it.

Trained all her life to be just as comfortable fighting terrorists as mixing with the gala crowd, she is proficient at playing any role necessary to accomplish her objective and believes the cause sanctifies the means. But her latest assignment to investigate journalist Hayley Ward will test more than her skills, ingenuity, and courage, because this time she faces the ultimate dilemma: a choice between loyalty and love. Members Reviews: Deadly good fun This book maintained a good blend plot/character and pacing. Their were unrealistic situations but it didn't make the book any less enjoyable. The only problem I had with the audio was the main characters sounded similar so when they had close but short dialogue it was sometimes difficult to split who said what. lg4az This book is absolutely awesome. I recommend it highly. One slight miss in the narrators voice for one of the main characters. Just a little bit young sounding, if that makes sense. But, definitely not to much of a distraction. The story, the narrator the whole damn thing is worth every penny. Put it this way.....I couldn't stop listening. I literally finished this in one afternoon. Definitely take a chance on this, you won't be disappointed. couldn't stop listening I loved every part of this book sexy funny n keeps you on the edge of your seat can't wait for the next book Seriously Edge of My Seat! Strong, intelligent, female leads in a great thriller. Could see the action coming from all angles, but the outcomes weren't projected. Excellent! Excellent Adventure Novel with woman at the helm of the story. Awesome. Dominion sets off for high adventure when she is sent on her missions for the E.T.O.T. ? And elusive world group. That gets very smart young men and women and trains them to be assassin or deadly killer form that area . Only Dominion did expect Hailly an inefficient reporter to show up or to fall in love. Still there is work to be done. At people must And people must die.

Title: The Harbinger Author: Keegan Kennedy Narrator: Michael Ahr Format: Unabridged Length: 29 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-17 Publisher: Kennedy-Empire Media Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 94 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It starts as a whisper, barely audible. Rumors. Paranoia. Conspiracy theories. Subterfuge. Like lightning, the plague moves across the globe, spreading out in all directions and leaving few alive. But the end is only the beginning. Discovered in the Alaskan permafrost, the ancient virus was reanimated and genetically altered. The new strain showed great promise in curing many of mankind's afflictions. When the specimen fell into the hands of the Russian theocracy, their inept scientists attempted to create a biological weapon - a weapon that outsmarted them. Now, the androvirus is a deadly airborne plague, conquering the world in a matter of days. With a communicability of 100% and a mortality rate of over 90%, there is no immunity. For the survivors, who can suppress the virus, there is only change. A few adapt, but most become walking, talking gray horrors with an appetite for flesh. Primarily set in the American city of Memphis, four loosely-connected strangers, caught up in their lives, find their worlds annihilated by the swiftly-moving plague. Alex Connelly is a wealthy young executive, living an idyllic life with his pregnant wife, Madison. Kirk Foster is a self-absorbed aging gay man, desperate to hang onto his youth and sex appeal. Meredith Brinkley's ongoing war with breast cancer takes a turn for the worse, and she faces an impending double mastectomy. Logan King is a closeted baseball jock, playing for a minor league team while coming to terms with his true identity. And only together will they survive.... Includes Book 1: Pathogen, Book 2: The Curtain Falls, Book 3: Creepers, and Book 4: Numbers. Please note: There are straight and gay characters and a few that exist somewhere in between. There are characters of different races and religious backgrounds. There are opinionated characters. There is profanity. There is intimacy and clipped love scenes, some being of the male-for-male variety. There are also guns and graphic violence. Members Reviews: Great story A few comments said this was gay porn...its not but is graphic in some sexual situations and that includes all human sexual activities.. the plague event was good, better then other books that are similar and over all a fresh and fun ride Don't spend your money or credits on this... Listened for less than 2 hours (Chapter 11) . Sex between the characters before the characters are developed .... yuck. Not my cup of tea. Could not relate to any of the characters in the story. Well ummm... If you could sum up The Harbinger in three words, what would they be? I love books with lots of characters and I like how these developed. They seem real, with real struggles and flaws. But here's the thing. While this was a decent book to listen to it was very similar to The Stand and it is heavy on the gay sex thing. All in all its not a bad book. I got through it. But was not as good as I had hoped or as good as it could have been. A DIVERSE EPIC... Not for prudes, but not erotica. Where does The Harbinger rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? First, I felt the need to defend the author against the lies and misinformation being spread by 'basic' people. Scanning the reviews on this new title, I was shocked by the misleading review by a listener named 'Ebony.' She called this gay porn, but that's untrue.

Witt Narrator: Charlie David Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-11-16 Publisher: Lori Witt Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: On the scene of a multiple murder that's grisly even for a veteran homicide detective, Brian Clifton is stunned when one of the victims bears an uncanny resemblance to his boyfriend, James. As the similarities keep piling up, so do the bodies...and the evidence pointing to James as the killer. Since long before the shooting, James has been dishonest. He's been evasive. Oh, and there's that minor detail he withheld from Brian about being a gambling-addicted drug dealer. James may not be the best boyfriend in the world, but he begs Brian to believe he's no killer. In fact, whoever did pull the trigger undoubtedly wants to finish what they started, and Brian is the only one James trusts to keep him safe. But how much is Brian willing to risk to protect a man he may not even know? Members Reviews: Well Done. This series is as good as the others. I enjoy the stories because the are truly about two guys trying to build a relationship in the midst of the drama that is life. Great mystery! I won't lie, I had a part of this little mystery figured out from the beginning but this story was so entertaining there were moments I believed I was listening to an episode of Criminal Minds, CSI, or Graceland except with a gay twist. Loved it!

Title: Come and Get Me Author: Julie Cannon Narrator: Heather Miles Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: What would you do if an irresistibly desirable but utterly untouchable woman whispered to you, "If you want me, you'll have to come and get me?'" That's exactly the situation that Elliott Foster, CEO of Foster MacKenzie, finds herself in when she meets the alluring Lauren Collier, Chief Legal Counsel of a Fortune 500 company. Elliott never has a shortage of attractive women willing to share her bed, and she doesn't care if they are attracted to her or just her money. By her rules, if two women are attracted to each other there's no reason why they shouldn't spend the night together - or in some cases, the afternoon. Lauren, intriguing but decidedly off-limits, doesn't fit the mold and Elliot knows she should walk away. Instead she finds herself in the unusual position of pursuing another woman, and even more disconcertingly on Lauren's terms. Come and Get Me is a passionate, rollercoaster romance that's anything but predictable. Members Reviews: There's a Really Good Novella Here It really does seem as though the author wrote a novella, then added 2 or 3 hours to it and then repackaged it into a novel. Unfortunately nothing, or at least very little of substance was added to this hypothetical novella in those hours. There were far too many instances of long drawn out sex scenes; not the entertaining type, but the basic vanilla, middle of the road, your mother's or your grandmother's romance read/listen. The central crux of the story is quite good as female power executive Elliott Foster meets young attorney on the rise Lauren Collier. Suddenly temperatures are on the rise, loins are becoming moist, and the emergency fire alarm is blaring. Indeed if this had been a novella I think it would've been a five star special; as it is I barely gave it a three. Good story. Bad narrator. The story is actually very good. However the narrator's pitch became a major source of irritation. A redo of the story with another narrator would definitely improve ratings on this audio bok. Needs a better reader I did. It like how the reader chose to read this book. It was not smooth and seamless like all of the other books I have purchased have been. The story line was awesome. Annoying narrator was distracting. The storyline was not bad, but the narrator had a cadence that ruined the listing. I will never buy an audiobook narrated by Heather Miles again! When a narrator destroyed a book What would have made Come and Get Me better? I don't even know where to start. I don't know if the woman reading it had done a half way decent job, that is could have saved the book or if they are both to blame. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Different Narrator Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Heather Miles? Just about anyone. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I paid for the book so I finished it. So, no I don't thing so. Honestly not sure if it was all the narrator or if the story didn't do it for me either.

Not just honor, but their future together, is on the line as Blair and Cam join forces with their loyal friends to strike back at the terrorists. Members Reviews: I love this series So full of drama and excitement. I had such a hard time living through the 9/11 recap. as I lost my brother then the nation lost theirs the next week. I had knots building through out the book. I have to say it's worth reading if you can stomach it.

To complicate matters further, JD forms an attachment to Nick that Nick struggles not to respond to as they search for the key to JD's identity. Trying to determine whether JD is friend or foe as they investigate the crime puts them on the trail of a much older mystery. When multiple attempts are made on their lives, Nick is forced to turn to old enemies and new allies to solve a centuries-old crime before he and Kelly get added to the history books. Members Reviews: Great story and performance! I mean, what's not to love about macho men, romance, mystery and comrades. I also was very pleased that the narrator did a great job! This is the first time I heard Brock perform and I'll be adding him to my favs list! For fans only - NOT newbies Any additional comments? I must admit, I might have enjoyed the narration for this more had I not listened to it back to back with Shock & Awe. I'll also admit I'm still confused as to who's who and doing what, which, being this is the second book in this new series, I should not be having these difficulties at this point. This is not a "friendly to new readers" series. There's mention of a transplant Nick had? He donated half his liver to his dad? What? When? While under the influence of Dilaudid and ketamine after the surgery Nick apparently asked Kelly to marry him, but Kelly never answered and it's a thread that's dropped after that bombshell. Why was Nick on Dilaudid and ketamine for the surgery? I mean I think it may have something to do with Nick having some weird super tolerance for alcohol and pain meds...but I'm just guessing. Am I right? What? Kelly works at a camp? As what? A counselor? What? Also, when is all this going on? How long is this between the first book and this one? What's my frame of reference for time? It all makes me want to scream at Abigail Roux, "I'm sorry I haven't read your precious Cut & Run series but can you give me some details, please? I'm new here!! FFS! Can you give me a break and let me in on the details?" This is literally like coming into a series starting at book 8 or 9 and trying to figure out what the f*ck is going on with barely any reference to past exploits or situations. I mean, would you please not market this as a standalone new series if it's not one? Then there's the narration. Which is okay, if lacking in certain accents (I was really looking forward to hearing JD's accent and felt a little let down), but it's totally off to me because the character voice Brock Thompson uses for Nick is yet again different this go around. That brings the total to three different voices for the same character over two books.

Avery Blue is a young Omega and the owner of the new bakery called the Halo Muffin. He's determined to stay unmated and show the world there's more to an Omega than just popping out babies and being toys for Alphas. Enter the walking wall of muscle named Lucas Kochalka, Alpha of the Kochalka Pact. He rushes into the store and tries to stomp away with his mate. But Avery isn't going to let some massive thing of testosterone ruin his life. After all, there's no such thing as love between Alphas and Omegas. Right? A rambunctious Alpha leader wants to buy out the space of the Halo Muffin, but when he smells his fated mate, his plans are thrown into the wind like a plate of loose spaghetti. For Lucas, having an Omega in his territory running a store is a big no-no. All they'll do is disturb the Alphas. Plus, that store space should belong to his gun store. After trying to buy the young Omega's space out, he gets a rejection, time after time. When he goes to confront the owner, he smells a scent that makes him forget what he wanted. Because it doesn't matter now. He wants him. Avery. And he's gonna have him. One. Way. Or. Another. OMG, hello! I'm Penny Bloom, and I'm back with another tale! Mated to the Feisty Omega has no cheating (uh, duh, like why even?) and no cliffhangin' (anticipation is so wrong), and it has a huge, cute, snuggly HEA - with babies and kittens. Yes, people, real kittens that can shift into humans when they're older.

Members Reviews: loved it Peter Monn is an amazing author. I watch Peter on Youtube and wanted to read/listen. Amazing book :) I loved this book. I loved the relationship between Danny and every other character, and how those relationships help him find himself. I am a mother of twins and I see the close relationship talked about in this book everyday with them. And I know how one would be just as lost without the other. This is an amazing read and listen. I highly recommend it. If you liked Aristotle and Dante If you could sum up The Before Now and After Then in three words, what would they be? We need love What other book might you compare The Before Now and After Then to and why? Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe What about Matt Hayss performance did you like? Very pleasant to listen to. The change in voices from character to character is more subtle than distinctive. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. It's the only book I've listened to twice in a row. Any additional comments? I wish I could find more like it. Please offer suggestions if you can. Excellent YA book that is not just for kids A very moving book about love and loss and identity. Outstanding narration. Both the book and the narration are far above the standard of most of the audiobooks that are rate 4 stars and above. Don't miss this one. A Must Read Would you listen to The Before Now and After Then again? Why? Absolutely. It perfectly captured my attention and kept me wanting more. Couldn't wait to find out what happened next! What other book might you compare The Before Now and After Then to and why? I would compare this book to "Perks of Being a Wallflower" because it is the perfect teenage roller-coaster ride of emotions. I felt like i was truly experiencing what the characters went through. What does Matt Hays bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice is relaxing and soothing.

Former cop turned private investigator Cole McGinnis never considered committing murder. But six months ago, when Jae-Min's blood filled his hands and death came knocking at his lover's door, killing Sheila Pinelli became a definite possibility. While Sheila lurks in some hidden corner of Los Angeles, Jae and Cole share a bed, a home, and most of all, happiness. They'd survived Jae's traditional Korean family disowning him and plan on building a new life - preferably one without the threat of Sheila's return hanging over them. Thanks to the Santa Monica police mistakenly releasing Sheila following a loitering arrest, Cole finally gets a lead on Sheila's whereabouts. That is, until the trail goes crazy, and he's thrown into a tangle of drugs, exotic women, and more death. Regardless of the case going sideways, Cole is determined to find the woman he once loved as a sister and get her out of their lives once and for all. Members Reviews: The best series on audio If you could sum up Dirty Deeds in three words, what would they be? Best audio series! Who was your favorite character and why? Gosh, all of them, Nunia, Cole, Jay MIn, Bobby, Ichie Claudia..... What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? One of the best, His voices are spot on, GREAT series! He is not just reading, it is full on acting and entertainment! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? All of Rhys Ford's books make you laugh and cry! She can pull at your heartstrings like no other. The underdog always gets his feeling trampled on! Any additional comments? Worth every penny, will listen to the whole series again! Best in this series to date. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Oh hell yes! It's so engaging and well spoken. What other book might you compare Dirty Deeds to and why? Very similar to Rhys Fords Sinners Gin series, another series with a couple sexy men that can't keep their hands off each other, or the dead bodies from piling up on their lawn! What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I think that he has really encompassed what Ford poured into these characters when she created them, he brings them to life in my mind. If you could take any character from Dirty Deeds out to dinner, who would it be and why? Jae. I've listened to Cole talk about how he moves so gracefully for so long that I'd love to see those long fingers and legs in a constant fluid motion for myself. Any additional comments? Cole McGinnis has been through hell and back in search of a little piece of something to call his own, to have a family and to just be happy. But there always seems to be some deranged psychopath hell bent on destroying Cole and those he holds dear. The last person he expected to come after him, or try to kill his lover Jae was his dead partners wife, Sheila. In the world of Cole McGinnis you will learn, whatever can go wrong will and as tough as Cole claims to be, the man is not bullet proof. All that he can handle, what he cant handle is the threat of losing the person that means more to him than anything, again, and that is threat that Sheila Pinelli poses.

The Curse of the Blue Scarab Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: The Curse of the Blue Scarab Subtitle: A Monster Mash-Up Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Alexander Masters Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-17 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 81 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Who or what is responsible for the gruesome deaths of members of the secret society known as the Order of Osiris? Dr. Armiston, an irascible, confirmed bachelor who believes in medicine, not mysticism, is certain the deaths are only tragic accidents. The members of the Order of Osiris suspect something more sinister is at work. They profess to believe an ancient curse has been visited upon their society. Handsome and mysterious Captain Maxwell requests Armiston's help. Tarot cards? Egyptology? Spiritualism? Armiston has little patience with the superficial and silly pastimes of the rich, but he does love a good puzzle. Or could it be that he is more drawn to young Captain Maxwell than he wishes to admit? Either way, Armiston must solve the secret of the cursed sarcophagus very soon, for Captain Maxwell is the next slated to die.... Members Reviews: Tedious What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Had the author not attempted to use a stilted 19th Century English and the narrator not employed a British accent that seemed to drift into an American accent from time to time. Has The Curse of the Blue Scarab turned you off from other books in this genre? No Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Alexander Masters? I don't think the narrator was at fault as much as the style of writing trying to be Victorian and Alexander trying to plough through the story attempting to use speech in the manner of that period. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. Any additional comments? I am a real fan of Josh Lanyon. I hope this was an experiment he doesn't repeat. Fun Victorian M/M mystery As a monster mash-up this wasn't quite what I expected, generally those take a classic book and add monstrous elements (zombies, vampires, sea monsters) but in this case it takes a classic mystery with Edwardian occult overtones and then adds a gay romance. Where the book excels is the creatively added M/M romance element. The book is conspicuously careful to keep the degree to which the men can express their affection reasonably minimal and I like the slow pace with which it is trotted out. What didn't work as well for me was the mystery itself. The mystery of what is going on with a group of young men who belong to a fashionable spiritual society makes no sense but in a mystery that can be forgiven if the "I suppose you're wondering why I've called you all here" reveal is especially clever or inventive. But no, the book just lurches to a halt. Again, the mystery itself seems to have been in place in the original 1912 novel and the romance, which is well done, is the addition but for me I wanted more mystery and more mummy. I also add that the cover of the book makes it seem like a young adult horror adventure and that isn't the case. An enjoyable story... A huge fan of Josh Lanyon's, I was eager to listen to this story. The setting was bit of a surprise but once I got over the initial shock, I became enthralled in the story. The mystery aspect of the story was good and I figured out who dunnit about the same time that Quinton Armiston did but to be honest, I had a hard time understanding the drive that led the villain. I also will admit that I would have loved more development and insight into the relationship between Quinton and Hillary.

There's no way he could've foreseen how torturous the position would become. Six months of craving Cade has driven Dylan insane. No matter what he tries, Dylan can't get a clear read on Cade. When Cade does finally make his move, Dylan realizes a fate worse than never having the man of his dreams - being kept a secret. Book two: "Heart's Song" Hawke swore one day he'd hate Maddox for using him.... Maddox, lead singer of the band, Ugly Eternity, is a man of many secrets. Unfortunately, Hawke isn't one of them. He's been openly using Hawke for his delicious body for over a year, taunting him with a half-life, and always giving him just enough hope to keep him hanging on. Book three: "Heart's Strum" Jamie has spent his entire life playing the good twin. Now, he's the one standing out after signing with Guillotine Records. Two years of being on his own in California hasn't lessened his desire for the man who made it happen. Too bad that man belongs to one of Jamie's oldest friends. Book four: "Heart's Duo" What began as a half-baked scheme to help his brother win the man of his dreams has become a tailspin Joss can't escape. His actions and secrets have kept him from making any real claim on the woman who captured his attention years ago. Book five: "Heart's Chord" For Austen, Finn is the perfect man. If he sees anything lacking in Austen, he never shows it. But falling in love with Finn changes everything for Austen. All the insecurities he's faced since he has come home from deployment confined to a wheelchair come rushing back to the surface. No matter how hard he tries, he can't let Finn in. Members Reviews: A very good series! Any additional comments? I love this author and her books are great. It is not that I think the narrator is bad, it is just hard for me to identify with the male characters. I think it would have been better with a male narrator. Good Books, BAD choice for Narrator! Is there anything you would change about this book? While Hollie Jackson is a good narrator, she is NOT GOOD for a MM romance where its GUYS talking about doing GUYS!!!! Would you be willing to try another one of Hollie Jacksons performances? I have listened to many of her audio books, she's good when a woman is involved in the scenes, NOT when its guys doing guys!

Blue Mountain Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-14 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 325 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Exiled by his pack as a teen, Omega wolf Simon Moorehead learns to bury his gentle nature in the interest of survival. When a hulking, rough-faced Alpha catches Simon on pack territory, he tries to escape what hes sure will be imminent death. But instead of killing him, the Alpha takes Simon home. A man of action, Mitch Grant uproots his life to support his brother in leading the Blue Mountain pack. Mitch lives on the periphery, quietly protecting everyone, but always alone. A mate is a dream come true for Mitch, and he wont let little things like Simons rejections, attacks, and insults get in their way. With patience, seduction, and genuine care, Mitch will ride out the storm while Simon slays his own ghosts and Mitchs loneliness. Members Reviews: Loved it, too short... A huge C. C. fan, this story did not fail to meet my extremely high expectations assigned to this author. I so enjoyed the story of Mitch and Simon! It was a sweet little romance and I thrilled at getting to know these characters. Sean Crisden is one of my favorite narrators and as typical, he added so much in this story. My only complaint would be that the story ran to short. There was so much more that could have been covered and addressed (in my humble opinion) and it made the story seemed rushed. But perhaps that will be addressed in the (hopefully) upcoming series. Either way, loved this book and certainly recommend.... Excited about a new CC series! *3.5 stars* 3 stars for the story and another 1/2 star for the narration, very nicely done by Sean Crisden! I've read stories like this one before... but I keep coming back to them. You know what I mean. The big bad alpha male shifter falling for the formerly abused, more submissive mate. There is insta-love and insta-"MINE"... but I keep coming back! It is a theme that never gets old for me. Cardeno C. does shifters often and does them well. I really like this author's HOT, uber-masculine guys that often border on romantic enough to be sappy. This story is no different. It was very sweet with some light angst and a fairly slow burn love story for a shifter book. I think that there is a lot of potential there, but there were some plot holes and details that left me wanting more. I wanted to know a great deal more about the pack and pack structure. This felt like the intro to a longer book in a lot of ways. The way that the pack reacted in the beginning of the story to the news of a male omega in the territory was very different from how Mitch assures Simon that they will treat him. I'm curious as to what their reception of Simon will be and what challenges that would bring someone as skittish as Simon. Also, Simon hinted at a history of abuse of many kinds, and I thought that once his relationships with Mitch finally became physical, we would see some kind of trauma from that abuse peak through. It didn't happen. It was strange to me how Simon morphed from super shy/reluctant to mini porn star so quickly. However, despite some issues, I enjoyed this novella. A great deal of that is surely from Sean Crisden's awesome audiobook narration.

As if that wasn't enough, he then poured salt in the wound by walking away from the ranch he'd grown up on, to open the restaurant he'd always dreamed of. Without support from his father and brother, and too proud to accept assistance from anyone else, he had to start from scratch. Over time things worked out. Glenn successfully built a strong business, created a new home, and forged a life he could be proud of. Despite his success, his estrangement from the Holloways is still a sore spot he can't quite heal, and a called-in favor becomes Glenn's worst nightmare. Caught in a promise, Glenn returns to his roots to deal with Rand Holloway and comes face-to-face with Mac Gentry, a man far too appealing for Glenn's own good. It could all lead to disaster - disaster for his tenuous reconnection with his family and for the desire he didn't know he held in his heart. Members Reviews: Great character voices! Any additional comments? *sighs* I loved it. Told entirely from Glenn's POV, I absolutely love how Mary Calmes writes an alpha, possessive male, without it being overly creepy or hitting my "call the police!" panic vibe. Instead she makes it hot and oh-so-necessary. I especially love how Sean Crisden is able to voice the characters in this audio so well. I just LOVED his character voices for Glenn and Mac! Hearing their passion come to a head and explode was awesome! Sure, the relationship is fast, with the two coming together and making promises quickly, but it works. It just all works for me. The audio is just so good...and just what I needed today. Sean Crisden is sublime, I loved the story...I am one happy Calmesniac. Cranky cowboy needs to be roped in. Would you listen to When the Dust Settles again? Why? You betcha! I just love the way Sean Crisden brings a sexy, broken down cowboy to life. Who was your favorite character and why? Glenn, hands down. There's this venom inside him festering, keeping him away from family and a man that could be everything he needs, and he's too damn stubborn to do something about it. For now... Which character as performed by Sean Crisden was your favorite? See above, nuff said. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Cranky cowboy needs to be roped in. Any additional comments? Crisden is a great narrator, I don't think I've listened to a book he's read that I didn't enjoy, but he really hits his stride when it comes to Cowboys. Glenn Holloway has stayed away from his kin for far too long, and though he had good reason years ago, now it's time for him to come back home. And Mac Gentry is going to make sure he not only brings his stubborn self back to the Ranch, he is going to make sure Glenn is sleeping in his bed every night. If you are a fan of this Author or Narrator then grabbing a copy of this book should be a no brainer. Add to that sexy, stubborn cowboys, a kidnapping scare and some good ole' boy lovin' make this one a must listen. Amazing Loved reading this and loved listening to it just as much! Sean Criseden does an amazing Rand Holloway. I listen it twice!!!! Any additional comments? I love how Mary writes characters that really need each other. They crave each other.

Mostly because he stuck it firmly in his mouth when his lover, Tristan Pryce, accidentally drugged him with a batch of psychotropic baklava. Needing to patch things up between them, Wolf drags Tristan to San Luis Obispo, hoping Tristan's medium ability can help evict a troublesome spirit haunting an old farmhouse. With Wolf's sister handling Hoxne Grange's spectral visitors, Tristan finds himself in the unique position of being able to leave home for the first time in forever, but Wolf's roughshod treatment is the least of his worries. Tristan's ad-hoc portal for passing spirits seems to be getting fewer and fewer guests, and despite his concern he's broken his home, Tristan agrees to help Wolf's cousin, Sey, kick her poltergeist to the proverbial curb. San Luis Obispo brings its own bushel of troubles. Tristan's ghost whispering skill is challenged not only by a terrorizing haunting but also by Wolf's skeptical older cousin, Cin. Bookended by a pair of aggressive Kincaids, Tristan soon finds himself in a spectral battle that threatens not only his sanity but also his relationship with Wolf, the first man he's ever loved. Members Reviews: Scary, but Sexy! If you could sum up Duck Duck Ghost in three words, what would they be? Scary, Sexy and Funny! What other book might you compare Duck Duck Ghost to and why? Fish and Ghosts, the first book in the series. Same dry, whitty remarks and unapologetic characters. What about Tristan Jamess performance did you like? Oh hell yes! He has the baritone to his voice that drips off the earbuds like honey. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes and I tried hard, listening at work, in the car and while I was doing laundry. Any additional comments? Not long after Wolf Kincaid convinced his then client, Tristan Pryce a medium and ghost whisperer, that he truly loved him and wanted to be with him, he stepped in it good by accusing Tristan of drugging him. While Tristan is a talented medium, he is a bit naive and sometimes hears only the words he wants to hear during a conversation. Having been haunted and considered insane by most of his family for the majority of his life, Tristan understandably has trust issues. Once Wolf clears his head and shows up on Tristan's door step, apologetic and begging for forgiveness, he thinks Tristan will welcome him with open arms, not quite. Tristan thought evicting the poltergeist from Hoxne Grange would set everything back to business as usual, but there is a lingering affect that is messing with Tristan's abilities. And Wolf thinks a trip to his cousin Sey's supposed haunted home will help Tristan regain a hold of his abilities. But where there is trouble, these two will find it. The pained spirit of a little girl seems to be trapped in Sey's home after she received a shipment of porcelain dolls to log and date. A spirit that realizes straight away exactly what Tristan is. When push comes to shove and the spry young spirit becomes too much for Wolf, Tristan, his whimsical cousin Sey and bat shit crazy Aunt Gildie to handle, Wolf calls in his overbearing cousin Cin. At the same time a university exchange student shows up to assist Sey with logging the dolls, and unwittingly becomes a vessel for the now very angry spirit.

Dana isn't any happier about being pulled from her coverage of the escalating conflict in the Middle East to write a society "fluff piece," although the presence of beautiful Dr. Emory Constantine does make the assignment a little more enticing. With the nation under attack, the world on the verge of war, and their personal lives the focus of intense public scrutiny, Cam and Blair come under fire both publicly and privately when an old nemesis resurfaces intent on finishing his holy mission - to kill Blair Powell.

Julian, in turn, helps Nick accept who he is and understand he isn't responsible for tragedies he couldn't prevent. Lost love found can be even sweeter the second time around, and after all the years apart, both men learn to look beyond the surface to find the men they are inside. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: A Story of Reconnection This may be my favorite piece yet by Stevens. It's about how two characters reconnect after so much time and are able to bring back the best in each other. It's about how two characters find love after so much time, and it's about how they are able to find new meaning with each other. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. There's the right balance of smut and romance, and I loved some of the secondary characters. I would be willing to try to the second part of this series, as I want to see how this group of characters grows and changes. Loved Every Minute. Perfection. In every word, inflection and feeling. Loved the heartaches and the coming back to each other Nick and Julian went through. Needed to go through in order to become the people they wanted to be for themselves and each other. awesome story Great narrative and I love the story. Two men loving each other with truth and honestly not my favorite The story was okay, not my favorite. There is a weird time progression issue. one minute it's 10am then a drive home, a romp in the hay and then it's late at night suddenly. Just jarring and odd how scenes move from one to the next. I had heard a narration by Mr Bachman before and didn't realize he narrated this book before I got it. I previously did not care for his performance but he did a great job here. Accents were realistic, great cadence and lovely distinctive voices for all characters.

He worked part-time for his brother at his detective agency - Petroskovic Haven Investigations - and had just bought his dream house. But all that changed when he found his brother dead, a victim of PTSD-induced suicide. Almost a year later, Ollie is trying to keep his brother's business afloat, but can't get his PI license. Then his brother's best friend, Kade Alme, shows up, fresh from the battlefield after a close brush with death. Kade is looking for a new life, in more ways than one, and with PI license in hand, he's exactly what Ollie needs to keep PHI running. When one of Ollie's childhood friends gets in trouble, Ollie feels he has to help. Kade insists on investigating, if only to keep Ollie safe. Neither realizes the danger they're in as someone tries to tear them apart before they can find solid ground together. Members Reviews: 3.5 Stars Any additional comments? I loved Ollie, the gender fluid model with spectacular fashion sense and a penchant for trouble. I totally understood his reticence to allow anyone else in and to get close to him. But even my love for Ollie is eclipsed by my passion for Kade. His stalwart dedication and devotion to Ollie even after Ollie is such a prick time and time again to him...*sighs* Overall Mike Pohlable's narration was okay. I mostly enjoyed his character voice for non-conforming gender fluid Ollie, who is the main POV for the story. Though I did have an issue with Pohlable's style of enunciation at times, I thought the emotion Pohlable displayed was really good. I really enjoyed the infusion of sentiment Pohlable brought to the audio. But that ending? Yes, it's kind of a cliffhanger, but, number one, I was totally prepared for it and two...Ha! I can honestly say I am so happy I was right all along. Overall the story was quite enjoyable and I'll definitely check out the next installment in the series. Manties.....need I say more?!? ***4.5 stars*** The Story On the day that International model, Oliver Ollie Petroskovic ends up buying a fixer upper of a house for him and his brother Nathan, is the same day that his brother takes his life.

See, he has always had a thing for his best friends younger brother, so when Ollie is in need of a licensed PI, Kade comes to his rescue. Sadly, Ollie believes given time, everyone will eventually leave. It doesnt help that his parents died when he was fourteen, then his boyfriend cheated on him and then theres the death of his brother. You can see why Ollie would put up a barrier to protect himself.

He's a hedgehog shifter from an old-money Louisiana family, with a penchant for expensive shoes and a reputation for being a judgmental snob. His attitude is why he and his fated mate are estranged. Not that Avery cares. He doesn't want to be mated to some blue-collar werewolf anyway. Or so he keeps telling himself. No werewolf likes to be looked down upon, least of all Dylan Green. He doesn't need a mate, especially not some snotty hedgehog who sneers at his custom motorcycle shop and calls him a grease monkey. But when Avery gets into trouble with a shady loan shark, Dylan can't stand by and let him be hurt - whether he wants the brat or not. Yet once Dylan steps into Avery's world, he realizes there's more to Avery than his prickly exterior, and that unexpected vulnerability calls to Dylan's protective instincts. The sassy little hedgehog needs a keeper, and despite their horrible first impressions, Dylan starts to believe he might be the wolf for the job. Members Reviews: Great narrator love this series! Avery is a hedgehog shifter who left his home territory of Louisiana and move to Oregon. Shifter law dictates that he must join the local wolf pack since Portland falls in that jurisdiction. Though his family has always looked down upon wolf shifters, Avery doesnt care a bit, and happily joins the pack. Avery finds his mate, a wolf, and in a drunken mistake, throws him over for not being good enough. Dylan is of course hurt, and somewhat glad, because he doesnt ever want a mate anyway. Two years go by, and the mates avoid each other at all costs. It isnt until Avery ends up in trouble because of some gambling debts that they spend any significant time together. Finally, the two realize how wrong theyve been about the other and they begin a relationship. In the meantime, Avery gets involved in a missing persons project that might just end up costing him his life! ** This a little different than the average shifter romance. For one, though the instant attraction is there, it isnt acted upon until much later in the story. In addition, the side stories Averys gambling problems first and later a missing female wolf shifter take up a lot of the book. The world building is excellent and the character development is also well done. I enjoyed the romance between Dylan and Avery but I was disappointed by how little time they spent together. (This is remedied in book two so consider this a slow burn for the series.) When they do get together the smexy times are HOT and the feels are wonderful. The writing was really good and I am definitely interested in seeing more from this series. 4 of 5 stars Audio Iggy Toma does a fantastic job with this! He gives Avery a delightful Southern drawl and helps us to differentiate all the other voices as well. I love his reading voice and found this really enjoyable as an audiobook. Definitely the best way to enjoy this story! 5 of 5 stars Overall 4.5 of 5 stars The narration is fantastic Any additional comments? Im really at odds on this. On one hand, the narration is fantastic. On the other hand, the miscommunication in this is so extreme it almost drove me insane listening to it. The writing is sharp (communication issues aside), the characters are multi-dimensional and not just cardboard cutouts, and the narration by Iggy Toma brings out a lot of nuance to the story.

Thanks to his buddies, he has a great lead to room with a guy named Cody in Metropolis, the hottest condominium in town. But things get a little uncomfortable when Hayden shows up for the interview and discovers he and Cody share an awkward up close and personal experience from their past. Cody doesn't have a problem living with Hayden. He's had his share of help when he was down and out, and he wants to do the same for this guy. It's not long until Cody realizes how great it is having someone around. Sometimes, they watch movies together...and other times, they help get each other off - one of the perks of living with a guy who's as laid back about sex as he is. They hit it off so well Cody even decides to act as wingman for Hayden while he gets used to hitting the town again. Before they know it, they're spending more time with each other than with anyone else. But Hayden just got out of a relationship and should be spending his nights having fun and working it around town, not jumping into something serious again. Cody's always just gone with the flow, believing if it's meant to happen, it will. But life doesn't always work that way, and if they don't fight for what's right in front of them, Hayden and Cody might be over before they have the chance to even get started. Members Reviews: Hot story I liked the way the story flowed as well as the character construction. The story flowed very well also. Plan to get the next in this series too. I liked the narration also. Everything happens for a reason Love Cody and Hayden.. They bring out the best in each other. They push each other to be the best they can and no judgement of there past. I can't wait for the next installment. love it Narration: 5 stars ...Michael Pauley is so amazing. His love scenes are ridiculously awesome( fanning myself). Great differentiation of voices. Story: 4.5 stars.. totally enjoyable. The main characters Cody and Hayden are adorable. Overall: 4.7 stars .. a fun, hot story. Charo Love Is In this case love is a 4 letter word and that word is Cody. Uber cool, sexy, nothing can touch me Cody who finds his match in the quiet and unassuming Hayden. If you have read the first book (which if you have not you totally should) you will recognize Cody and Hayden as Gary and Travis' friends. Hayden is coming off a heartbreaking break up and it is my humble opinion that his ex, named Lance, is very possibly the best written villain in M/M romance cuz boy do you hate this utter and complete douche nozzle. More than once I was mentally screaming at Hayden, dude you are soooo much better off without this dude..anyway I digress. When Cody offers to let Hayden move in with him things start to get interesting and you just want them to work because they are just so good together but they are both scared and the fear is palpable and understandable and frustrating as heck. But that you come to care for these characters is the point of all of this, that is a mark of good writing and Michael's delivery is spot on (as usual). So totally worth a read and a listen! A- rating... My Review: Overall: 4.25 Performance: 4.0 Story: 4.25 I really enjoyed this story. Hayden is just out of a relationship that really did a number on him and he's moving in with Cody.

Prima donna Formula One racer Thalia d'Angelis knows she's been hired as a publicity stunt, but that only fuels her desire to be the first woman on an F1 podium. She might be on the verge of making history, but her behavior off the track is as risky as her driving. The approaching Monaco Grand Prix - the crown jewel of the Formula One circuit - brings them together, but will these opposite and headstrong stars collide, or are they destined to cross? Members Reviews: Fun and a great listen! What did you love best about The Princess and the Prix? This book was really fun to listen to, and I couldn't stop listening. The characters were really great, and I found myself even getting nervous about the dangers of car racing. This was my favorite in the series because I felt like that I got to know the characters better than the first book, But I loved both books available on audible. Get this one!! It has everything, Romance, thought, fast, on and on. Well done! Oh yes, did include, steamy? Loved this book. Excellent audio book. Great story. Very believable. I really enjoy Nell Stark's books and Victoria Aston's narration. LOVE THIS SERIES AND NARRATOR!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. A FEMALE RACECAR DRIVER AND A PRINCESS.

Then, one fateful night, things changed. We became more. So much more. The sex was out of this world. Being his boy was the highlight of my day. Until feelings started to creep in and sex wasn't enough for me. Afraid of losing him, I kept quiet and hoped for a miracle. Could my Daddy love me, too? Or would I continue to be his boy, his play toy? Members Reviews: Finally! Dual narration done right !!! I LOVE audio books and I'm picky about narration. I'm not usually a big fan of dual narration and would rather have one good narrator - Even when both narrators are Excellent, you still have to get used to how the other person voices the same characters. In 'His Boy' each MC has his own narrator. ALL the lines for that character are voiced ONLY by that narrator!!! When the point of view switches, the narrator for that MC tells the story and voices the other characters, but all the MC lines are performed by their own narrator. Doing the narration this way is amazing! It improves the story and performance above the level of either of these narrators on their own. Audible Studio, and others take note; THIS is how ALL dual narration should be done! The notes for w/ the book pretty much spell out the story, except for a sweet little twist in the epilogue. But it is the narration that brings the characters' Hot chemistry to life! Hot, Sexy & Kinky!! Narrators were PERFECT!!! If you could sum up His Boy in three words, what would they be? KINKY, HOT & SWEET!!!!! Any additional comments? I do not read many audio books, however, His Boy is one that I could not pass up!! Bink Cummings chose two Narrators voices who fit the characters to a T! The narrators had so much expression while reading, even the kinky scenes, they made all the right sounds. ;) If you have not read/heard this book you need to.. You get the whole enchilada in the audio book, an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING read with panty wetting voices. Sexy sweet Asher and a deep gravely Justin!!!! Justin is hot, bossy, possessive with a whole lot of sweetness and Asher is the cute, shy, geek but oh so sexy in the geeky way . Justin and Ashers chemistry was electrifying. They were kinky, exciting, explosive!Bink Cummings you Rock My World! Much Love! Dual narration done the right way!! Any additional comments? I got this audio specifically because the of the dual POV narration. THIS. This is how all dual narrator narration should be done! With each narrator taking certain characters and sticking to them regardless of who's POV is in charge at the time. I LOVED the narration for this! The story, however, was far outside my comfort zone and didn't really appeal to me at all. The daddy kink, the possessiveness, the high-handed way Justin just decides what's going to happen and doesn't even discuss it with Asher? All grated on my nerves. (2 stars for the story - and that's mainly because even though the daddy kink made me uncomfortable, the sex was hot as hell, and, also, I did finish the book.) 5 stars for the narration - mainly because I am so over the top happy at having proper dual narration done. But also because Nick and Dorian did a fantastic job. Their character voices fit each person, it was pretty seamlessly blended, and I was really happy to listen. I really hope other narrators will take note of this and follow suit.

Ethan, Who Loved Carter Audiobook by Ryan Loveless

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 168 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: By 24, Carter Stevenson has stuttered and ticced his way to debilitating shyness. Although his friends accuse him of letting his Tourette's dictate his life, Carter moves from Los Angeles to a quiet California town. He'll keep his head down and avoid people. He doesn't anticipate his new neighbor, Ethan Hart, crashing into his solitude and forcing him to get out and live. From the beginning, Ethan makes his love for Carter clear. But he fears Carter won't see past Ethan's damaged brain, even though it makes Ethan more attuned to his emotions than most people. For Carter, there's a bigger issue: He's been burned by so-called "perfect" matches, and he won't risk his heart again. One way or another, Ethan's determined to show Carter they belong together. Then Ethan receives tragic news. Suddenly he must turn to Carter for strength and support. Will Carter come through when Ethan needs him most? Members Reviews: Wow... Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? A resounding yes. This is such a feel good story. It has the right mixture of angst, humor, and erotic elements. I wish everyone would listen to it. What did you like best about this story? The apparent love and respect that everyone had for Ethan. Which character as performed by K. C. Kelly was your favorite? Ethan. If you could rename Ethan, Who Loved Carter, what would you call it? I don't think I could rename it. The title is perfect. Any additional comments? I don't normally read tearjerkers but I couldn't ignore this book. I don't know why I deigned to listen to it at work. There were many a scene where I reached for my tissue box. I haven't been moved by a story in a very long time. Initially, I didn't know if the narrator was the right choice. I am happy to say that he is. Mr. Kelly did a wonderful job. He evoked so much emotion from me and I consider that a job well done. Bravo Ms Loveless. I wish there was a sequel. Inspiring story This is a lovely and super sweet story about the love between a man with brain damage and a debilitating shy man with Turrets Syndrome. Both young men have challenges and demons to face. They get together fairly early in the book so most of the book is about them learning to love and trust each other. There is no real conflict and it is a slow read and really sweet. Lots of "you're amazing" and "it doesn't matter what others say about you, I love you." It is well written but pretty predictable and a little boring in spots; no real surprises. Just a feel good listen about two inspiring young men. The narrator does a good job. I especially liked his voice of the two MCs. Worth a credit. Emotional High!!!! What made the experience of listening to Ethan, Who Loved Carter the most enjoyable? I read this e-book many months ago and really enjoyed it. I was so excited when I learned the audio version was coming and downloaded it the first day it was available. I took a chance that the narrator would honor Ethan and Carter with voices that they both deserved. I was so happy that he did just that. Both characters came to life under the narration of K. C. Kelly. As a reader you learn that Carter has Tourette's and Ethan has a traumatic brain injury, I can imagine what they would sound like by reading the amazing Ryan Loveless's words. But K.C. Kelly brings them life.

As Kara and the rest of the Asgard prepare to transition away from Earth, Freya, using trickery, subterfuge, and cobbled together technology, fights for the very survival of the last of the Vanger race on Folkvangr. Members Reviews: Loved it! Another great book in this series! The characters get better and better with each book. Freya and the people of Folknavgr are introduced in this book and some of the Ragnarok are learning the truth about their past. Great performance by Hollie Jackson! wonderful I loved this one just as much as the first two books. looking forward to the next audio book. Erik Shubach's Valkyrie series is Awesome! Would you consider the audio edition of Folkvangr: The Valkyrie Chronicles, Book 3 to be better than the print version? I have not had time to read the books, but I want to make time. Shubach tell's a wonderful story. In this 3rd installment the bad guys gives us a hero, for The Whispering (Something) Ellena who is a cool character to fall for. Kate and Carra are still married and fighting strong, Valhalla is still in trouble but the gang is there to keep her safe. It is one wild ride not to be missed for lover of this series. What was one of the most memorable moments of Folkvangr: The Valkyrie Chronicles, Book 3? When Ellena realizes she is in love with the girl who is the enemy that they have taken in. It is a touching moment but done in Shubach style so it is also laughably funny. Have you listened to any of Hollie Jacksons other performances before? How does this one compare? I have listened to Parts one and two and four in this series and she does a wonderful job narrating them. She brings Carra and Kate's voice to live, Even Ellena comes to live in the narration. And the story is fresh and funny because of it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made laugh really hard, and smile a lot, just the way the story is told with tongue and cheek kind of voice over, And the words, yet it's a wonderful young adult romance story. Any additional comments? I love Shubach's writing, I love all his series from the Valkyrie, to Music of the Soul, to Drakkon, to Troll, All of them are full of laughs and imagination. In Music series some of the main characters have been deaf, or had a missing leg, which to a handicapped person like myself is wonderful. It's nice that not everyone in romance stories is Blond blue eyed perfect or brown haired hard bodied goddess, Not all of us fit that type, some of get around on walkers, have MS and do not want pity, Which is nice to see some write about romance about people who are not all perfect. Which is why I enjoy his/her writing so much. And the voicing is perfect. And I love a good sci-fi / fantasy tell. So the Valkyrie series has been perfect for this lesbian. . Wow! If you could sum up The Valkyrie Chronicles: Folkvangr in three words, what would they be? Emotional, Hair raising and fun What did you like best about this story? The fact that someone still believes in a peoples ability to change and evolve for the good. Which character as performed by Hollie Jackson was your favorite? All of them... I know that's lame but she does such a fantastic job. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. and I did. Twice. Any additional comments? Erik and Hollie are an amazing combo.

Being married to US Marshal Sam Kage has changed him-it's settled the tumult of their past and changed Jory from a guy who bails at the first sign of trouble to a man who stays and weathers the storm. He and Sam have two kids, a house in the burbs, and a badass minivan. Jory's days of being an epicenter for disaster are over. Domestic life is good. Which means it's exactly the right time for a shakeup on the home front. Sam's ex turns up in an unexpected place. A hit man climbs up their balcony at a family reunion. And maybe both of those things have something to do with a witness who disappeared a year ago. Marital bliss just got a kick in the pants, but Jory won't let anyone take his family away from him. Before he knew what it felt like to have a home, he would have run. Not anymore. He knows he and Sam need to handle things together, because that's the only way they're going to make it. Members Reviews: The last Sam & Jory story Would you listen to But for You again? Why? Over and over. It's a favorite series. Who was your favorite character and why? Jory, of course. Sam calls him a trouble-magnet and that he is. Gets into so much trouble, but at the same time is a well of unexpected courage and resourcefulness. I wish I had a RL friend like Jory...I'd never be bored and I know he'd be there for me no matter the predicament. Love love love him. (Sam, too!) What about Finn Sterlings performance did you like? The prior book in the series, Bulletproof, was read by perhaps the worst narrator in the genre, so Finn Sterling was a breath of fresh air. He did both Sam's and Jory's voices perfectly. Also great for the kids and other adult characters. His female voices need a little work. :) Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I almost did! Any additional comments? The last Sam & Jory story. I just want to slip away and cry in some dark corner for awhile. Finn Sterling's narration was stellar for the most part. The female voices could use some work, but the men and kids were excellent. Thanks, Mary Calmes, for allowing me to be a part of Sam and Jory these past four books. Here's to one hell of a thrilling, romantic ride! While the entire series is highly recommended, listeners will most likely be disappointed in the narration of the third audiobook, Bulletproof, as the narrator is quite simply...awful. As I listened to the series, I ended up skipping #3 and re-read the book instead. Ahhh . . . domestic bliss for Sam and Jory Finally, the long awaited final installment to the Matter of Time series; not counting Parting Shot b/c that is really Aaron's book and can be read as a stand alone. This is the story of a very domestic Sam and Jory, with a splash of Jory's trouble magnet tendencies thrown in of course. The new narrator does a great job, especially with Sam's deep voice. Jory comes off a little more "camp" than the other books, but overall very good narration. I've read this story multiple times, so it was really nice to hear it come to life.

In a job where one misstep can be the difference between life and death, trust means everything. But every relationship has growing pains, and sometimes Miro stews about where he stands with his fiery lover. Could the heartstrings that so recently tied them together be in danger of unraveling? Those new bonds are constantly challenged by family intrusions, well-intentioned friends, their personal insecurities, and their dangerous careers - including a trial by fire when an old case of Miro's comes back to haunt them. It might just be enough to make Ian rethink his decision to let himself be tied down, and Miro can only hope the links they've forged will be strong enough to hold. Members Reviews: High Octane Thrill Ride! Any additional comments? Once again, Tristan James outdoes himself. He takes this story and shines a light on all the deeply nuanced corners and crevices. It's a fantastic performance for a superb story! I have one thing to say about this story: Buckle up, 'cause this ride goes from zero to a hundred sixty in three point one seconds flat! Okay, so obviously I have more to say than that... At the beginning of the story we find ourselves back with Miro and Ian being...Miro and Ian. It's been about eight months since they've become partners in private too and their private relationship is not all kittens and rainbows... " What was sad was that I always did that, always wanted it all instead of being happy with what I had. My friends had different theories about why I pushed when the person I cared aboutand in this case: desperately, madly, lovedwasnt ready. The idea everyone liked the best was that because I was a foster kid who was passed around from pillar to post until I was legal, when I saw my happily ever after, I went after it like a charging bull. " Even though privately Miro and Ian are having some growing pains their professional relationship is the same as ever. Seriously. In the first chapter alone there's two foot chases, a roof jump, and Sam Kage being a badass. It's AWESOME! So what do I think you need to know? The story is once again told entirely from Miro's perspective. Chickie Baby, Drake and Cabot, and Dr. Hartley all make appearances. And I really, really don't want to give anything away with this review - suffice it to say I think I said, "Holy shit!" more times than any other book this year. This was a roller coaster ride of action and emotion that I didn't want to end. Fans of All Kinds of Tied Down will not be disappointed with this installment. Bottom Line: This story grabs you by the throat and doesn't let up the grip until the final page. Packed with action, humor, scorching hot sexy times, and plenty of emotions...Fit To Be Tied was a rollicking, action packed, good time I just wanted more of! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Intense and Emotional, but so worth the ride. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Hell yes! It's fantastic. Intense and emotional without all the angst. Hilarity and sexy, passionate mens. It's pretty much a no brainer. Who was your favorite character and why? Miro, of course. The story is told from his POV, so you are always inside his head.

When Roger and Brian lock eyes on the first day of school, a friendship is born. Both men are hungry for connection - Brian needs the acceptance, encouragement, and support he never had growing up, and when he finds out his new best friend is gay, it brings his own sexual identity into question. Roger needs a big brother, a best friend, but that will never be enough, especially not when he's this close to big, strong, handsome Brian. And both men want something more - careers as professional athletes. For Roger, the demands of the closet, the need to reject the love of a man to fulfill his love of the game, will be a crushing burden. For Brian, his downfall will be the substances he uses to get an edge over the competition, and to suppress his gnawing self-doubt and guilt. One set of desires will bring them together, the other will force them apart.... Members Reviews: such a great love story This is such a great book! Excellent writing! Its such a great love story. I was not to sure how this book would go. Some books in this nature are just filled with sex, sex and more sex, with no story line. This was not the case at all with this book. Yes, there was some sex, but it was not badly written and focused more on the story line of the book and the two main characters. The struggles they have went though trying to hide the fact they were gay in the main stream life. It is worth the listen. Though it does revolve a lot around football. I do not know much about the sport, and would kind of get lost now and then, not understanding what they were talking about, but it wasn't often. I was gratefully provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator for an unbiased review via Audio Boom.. The best damn baseball and football love story The best damn baseball and football love story on Audible. Perhaps a little sappy at times and definitely some ugly episodes in the lives of two great loves who fight to survive and do. This book was AWESOME I wasn't ten pages into this story when I knew I would love it, and I did. I enjoyed it so much, and the fact the narrator was also the author made it so much more enjoyable because he knew exactly when to pause, when to show anger, etc. I highly recommend this book, it is great. Excellent coming of age tale I really enjoyed this story. Well written. Narration was competent, but some of the voices were a bit distracting. Characters were believable. Descriptions of the emotions experienced by elite athletes were amazing. Given the Circumstances I have always loved this book and listening to it has made it more amazing

While forgetting your problems won't solve them, it does seem like it would make life a heck of a lot easier. Daniel thought so once. Now he knows better. He and Big Dan have always been close, which makes it all the more difficult to break the daily news: the last five years were nothing like his father remembers. They're both professionals in the memory field - they even run their own memory palace. So shouldn't they be able to figure out a way to overwrite the persistent false memory that's wreaking havoc on both of their lives? Daniel thought he was holding it together, but the situation seems to be sliding out of control. Now even his own equipment has turned against him, reminding him he hasn't had a date in ages by taunting him with flashes of an elusive man in black that only he can see. Is it some quirk of the circuitry, or is Daniel headed down the same path to fantasy land as his old man? Members Reviews: Even better in audio. Fantastic narrator choice! Okay, so youd probably figure since Id already read this trilogy, why would I be so eager to listen to it also. Well, for one thing, the narrator. Seth Clayton. Hes newer, but everything Ive listened to that hes narrated has been awesome! And he does a great job emoting and using just the right pacing and various tones for each individual character he narrates, so its almost like a full cast audio! Anyway, with that in mind, I was curious if I would get a different feel for the story, and if it would change my previous thoughts when I finished. The first go round, after reading each book one at a time, I recall feeling almost like the end of each story (except the last, of course) was just barely starting, almost like a cliffhanger. But, having already read the complete series, this time around, since I knew what was coming, I felt like I could just lean back and enjoy. And chuckle. And outright laugh! Its amazing how listening with my ears instead of just absorbing words with my eyes gave me a whole new sensory experience. Gave me a whole new level of enjoyment. There were just so many little things Id missed the first go round. Like Larry. And his ideas about people paying to do interesting things to pigs in Mnems. OkaaaayOr the specific details within each Mnem. Like the quality of the packet determines if things are window dressing, or if they have little or no smell or taste. And many more little things caught my attention that somehow I seemed to miss the first time I read this book. And the narrator? He was spot on! Im SO looking forward to the rest of the audios!! JCP picked another winner like shed done with Gomez Pugh. I feel spoiled, and tend to always have high expectations from this author. JCP books are the bomb. Full package deal. Icing on the cake..and I could go on *smiles* Cover Art? Awesome. Check. Narrator choice? Awesome. Check. World Building? Awesome. Check. Quality All Around Product? Awesome. Check. You just CANT go wrong with a JCP story. Grabbed me with PsyCop. Kept me with Mnevermind. And keeping my interest peaked with all the standalones and shorts for the various series already published. If you havent checked them out yet, please consider grabbing up these stories. The audios do nothing but complement the books.

Fair Game Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: Fair Game Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Sawyer Allerde Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-10 Publisher: Carina Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 519 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A crippling knee injury forced Elliot Mills to trade in his FBI badge for dusty chalkboards and bored college students. Now a history professor at Puget Sound University, the former agent has put his old life behind him, but it seems his old life isn't finished with him. A young man has gone missing from campus and as a favor to a family friend, Elliot agrees to do a little sniffing around. His investigations bring him face-to-face with his former lover, Tucker Lance, the special agent handling the case. Things ended badly with Tucker, and neither man is ready to back down on the fight that drove them apart. But they have to figure out a way to move beyond their past and work together as more men go missing and Elliot becomes the target in a killer's obsessive game.... Members Reviews: A Great Listen This is a great murder/mystery. The author focused on the making of a great story as opposed to writing another gay romp through the sheets, which was a great relief since the publisher is Harlequin I had my reservations. The story is well paced and holds interest up until the last word is spoken. Ray Ramano does an excellent job with narration. Very satisfying; this book was well worth the money. Excellent First Experience... This was my first audio book and I have to admit I was initially skeptical on whether I would enjoy the experience. The beginning was a bit hard to get into but once the story unfolded, I could not take the ear-bobs out! The characters of Tucker Lance and Elliot Mills were relatable and I became engrossed with their story. This was a great first experience. The story was engaging and the narrator did a good job in expressing emotion through his voice. And being a hopeless romantic, the book ended just as I thought it should with a surprise twist. Excellent First Experience and am already enjoying the next book... A Great Listen This book was by far one of Josh Lanyon's best. If I would have been able to listen to the whole thing in one sitting I would have. It is truly one of those books where you spend half the time thinking "OMG whats going to happen next? I bet it was this guy!" Mystery and suspense Would you listen to Fair Game again? Why? I would listen to Fair Game again when in the mood for a great, fast-paced, mystery and suspense story. What other book might you compare Fair Game to and why? Josh Lanyon's Dangerous Ground series - fast-paced, suspenseful, great adventures, mystery, and some romance as well, and Mexican Heat by Josh Lanyon and Laura Baumbach, which is an awesome thriller. Which character as performed by Ray Ramano was your favorite? Elliot Mills. Who was the most memorable character of Fair Game and why? Elliot Mills - he's tough, and a bit grumpy at times, but he's a softy really, and very caring. I enjoyed getting to know him - the way he approaches teaching, and watching him in cop mode, and how he is with the people around him, especially his father and ex-lover Tucker Lance. Great story, not so great performance Any additional comments? I really enjoyed the storyline and plot of the novel. It was a good listen and a good length. The performance was a little too deadpan. Ray Ramano gave the characters very little emotion and didn't alter his voice with the changes in mood. Overall a good book that would be made better with a more enthused reader.

Death of a Pirate King Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: Death of a Pirate King Subtitle: Adrien English Mystery Series, Book 4 Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Chris Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-13 Publisher: Just Joshin Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 378 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: This is Book 4 in the acclaimed Adrien English Mystery Series by award winning author Josh Lanyon. Gay bookseller and reluctant amateur sleuth Adrien English's writing career is suddenly taking off. His first novel, Murder Will Out, has been optioned by notorious Hollywood actor Paul Kane. But when murder makes an appearance at a dinner party, who should be called in but Adrien's former lover, handsome closeted detective Jake Riordan, now a Lieutenant with LAPD - which may just drive Adrien's new boyfriend, sexy UCLA professor Guy Snowden, to commit a murder of his own! Members Reviews: Excellent performance of an excellent book Once again Josh Lanyon creates real life characters with flaws and strengths, loves and hates. Chris Paton brings them to life. I read this book before listening to it. Unfortunately, one cannot forget the ending of a great story... I would have loved to have heard Chris perform "that scene" for the first time. Thankfully, Chris' performance was able to create the emotion I felt during my first read. I cried and laughed in all the same places. I was able to see some scenes in a different light that added a different dimension to parts of the story. I highly recommend this audiobook. It is not a standalone, so make sure you listen to/ read the other three first! Favorite in the Series by far This was a good read, fast read even though it's nearly twice the length of previous novels I couldn't stop listening and waiting for Adrien and Jake to work out what was going on. I find it interesting that the mystery isn't so much cloaked for the readers, but more cloaked to both Adrien and Jake due to the amount of other things going on in their life and in their heads that they can't see what's in front of them. I started this series a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed the first in this Adrien English book, so after the rave reviews of the 2nd and 3rd books I was admittedly a little disappointed that I wasn't enjoying them as much as everyone else and I wasn't even sure I was going to try this fourth book. I think my disinterest had more to do with the way the mysteries were framed in the two books. That said I'm glad I cracked and got this one because this fourth book absolutely suited all my preferences much more than the previous two. Not that it wasn't so much playing in the supernatural and mystical as it was just getting down to the nitty-gritty of character building with people who are trying to protect their hides. But also that Adrien and Jake have had time to grow in the gap from the last book to this one. Adrien has always been a somewhat (intentionally?) difficult to like narrator. For me at least, though I don't think that's a bad thing. It makes him real. He's flawed, he's got a pushy attitude, jumps to judgement and at times spews out an annoying amount of casual sexism, so it was a delight to see how much his new family has helped him grow as a person. Even behind all that hurt and bitterness he has in this story, it's more understandable and relocatable because he has reason to be lashing out. Also, I'm sorry to say, Guy is nice and all but about as exciting as moss growing on a rock so unfortunately I didn't care so much for his role in Adrien's life.

Title: Code of Honor Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The face of terror is hard to recognize - especially when it's homegrown. Blair Powell is set to join her father on the campaign trail even though a domestic terrorist group has already launched one attack on President Andrew Powell's life. The orchestrators of the assassination attempt are still at large, and Andrew's opponent is a popular ultra-conservative with questionable ties to the radical right. Blair's wife, DHS Deputy Director Cameron Roberts, has been charged with the task of tracking down those responsible for the attack, while secretly searching for proof that a powerful senator is involved in treason. Cam has an ace in the hole no one knows about, however - an agent deep undercover in the stronghold of a radical militia group, FBI SA Loren McElroy. Cam's biggest challenge is running the terrorists to ground without getting McElroy and her renegade handler, Skylar Dunbar, killed in the cross fire. Members Reviews: Got better Started out too redundant. Got better. Switching people and groups was a bit hard to follow. Especially with the guns. Another great story So this book draws us in to the other side of war on the home front. at first I found it hard to follow. I wasn't sure who the players were untill the second chapter. but once it got going ideas hard to stop. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out of the key players lived or died. I'm actually sad to know I'm on the last book. .. well guess I'll have yo start over again :) All the characters If you could sum up Code of Honor in three words, what would they be? I miss all the characters from the first 6 books. Any additional comments? Bring back the characters from the first 6 books. They all felt like a family. hmm... not what I was expecting
I felt like this book was totally out of sync with the previous in the series. Was confused where the timeline and storyline picked up from book 7. Disappointed at lack of character follow up. great story Loved this book...can't wait to begin the next one. Lots of twists and turns and great romance.

Breakaway Audiobook by Avon Gale

Title: Breakaway Subtitle: Scoring Chances, Book 1 Author: Avon Gale Narrator: Scott R. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Drafted to play for the Jacksonville Sea Storm, an NHL affiliate, 20-year-old Lane Courtnall's future looks bright, apart from the awkwardness he feels as a gay man playing on a minor league hockey team. He's put his foot in his mouth a few times and alienated his teammates. Then, during a rivalry game, Lane throws off his gloves against Jared Shore, enforcer for the Savannah Renegades. It's a strange way to begin a relationship. Jared's been playing minor league hockey for most of his career. He's bisexual and doesn't care if anyone knows. But he's determined to avoid another love affair after the last one left him devastated. Out of nowhere a one-nighter with rookie Lane Courtnall gives him second thoughts. Lane reminds Jared why he loves the game and why love might be worth the risk. In turn, Jared hopes to show Lane how to be comfortable with himself on and off the ice. But they're at different points in their careers, and both men will have to decide what they value most. Members Reviews: 4.5 Stars! Any additional comments? I love this series. So I was a little worried about how the audio would go. Lane is an original one in a million and Jared is the marshmallow core surrounded by steel...so whoever narrated I was hoping would really bring the characters to life. Scott R. Smith certainly entertains while keeping true to the quirks and idiosyncrasies of each character. I thought he perfectly captured Jared's voice, the way I pictured Lane's speech pattern in my head, and did a great job overall with all of the different character voices in the story. I was also particularly pleased he brought heat and passion to the sex scenes in the story, and highlighted much of the humor with terrific uses of inflection and tone. The only issue I can see with the narration is that Smith spoke a little fast at times, but it honestly didn't bother me. I mean, I would much rather have that than weird pausing and speaking so slowly the listener has to speed up the audio. So, all in all, the narration for this was quite entertaining, fit the story, and I think Avon Gale ultimately chose well. I'm really looking forward to listening to the other stories in the series with Smith at the helm. Great Hockey Romance! Really Enjoyed! I always say that sports romances aren't really my thing, but I think I have to be changing my tune. Another hockey romance, another BIG success for me! This audiobook was fab! Sometimes it takes me a little while to warm up to a book, especially an audiobook. That was certainly the case with Breakaway. At first I was really confused about the character of Lane. Is he supposed to be autistic or on the spectrum? Is he supposed to be simple-minded? Just socially awkward? What's his deal?? But finally I just decided that it didn't matter: Lane is Lane... weird and competitive and horny, and I simply took his character for who he was. Same with the narration. At first, I found Scott R. Smith's reading style to be difficult to follow. I played with the speed a little bit, trying to find a way to "get" the reading, and I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. I think it was the way he emphasized certain words that made it sound... less organic, for some reason. However, his narration grew on me too. I just LOVED his voice for Jared (sexy and raspy), and I liked his cadence for Lane.

Wild Boys Audiobook by William S. Burroughs

Burroughs Narrator: Luis Moreno Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In this funny, nightmarish masterpiece of imaginative excess, grotesque characters engage in acts of violent one-upmanship, boundless riches mangle a corner of Africa into a Bacchanalian utopia, and technology, flesh, and violence fuse with and undo each other. A fragmentary, freewheeling novel, it sees wild boys engage in vigorous, ritualistic sex and drug taking, as well as prankster-ish guerrilla warfare and open combat with a confused and outmatched army. Members Reviews: Not for the faint hearted First, the reader is amazing. This is a very, very difficult book to narrate and Luis Moreno does a superb job. I'll be checking out other books narrated by him. Now to the book. This book is not for everyone - probably not for most people. It requires work and an understanding of what the Beat authors were trying to do and more specifically a grasp of Burroughs' literary aims and personal story. I recommend that those not familiar with Burroughs first read/listen to the introduction to "Queer Beats", edited by Regina Marler (also available from Audible.com). It does a nice job explaining the movement and giving a brief literary biography to Burroughs and related authors/poets; Marler also discusses the social and literary significance of the Beat movement. The Wild Boys has no coherent story. That is not the way Burroughs writes. It is a collection of cinematic/fantasy scenes that are often visceral, pornographic, violent, surreal, brutal, beautiful, and disturbing. Images and scenes double back and are retold or re-imagined repeated. Nothing is taboo. Most of the sexual scenes are male on male, and since many come from Burroughs' memory and fantasies, they involve under-age boys and are very graphic and explicit. Burroughs creates an anti-conventional fantasy world (a queer Neverland populated with anarchistic gay lost boys) where he flips the bird to conventional mores and ideals, using his mastery of language and imagery as a weapon and a paint brush. I think that this is an amazing book and that Burroughs is a great author; I suspect that most listeners will think it is trash and pornography. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 07-21-16 Publisher: Tricia Owens Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Ethan Winter has known since he was a kid that he wants to work for the FBI. Until then, he's stuck modeling underwear and photographing cheating spouses for a private investigator. But when a trip to Las Vegas for a security conference brings him into contact with the magnificently dominant Maxmillian Poole, Ethan finds himself faced with a dilemma: pursue his childhood dream, or become the partner of a man who seems to know him inside and out - and who offers a life any submissive would crawl for. Members Reviews: Even better in audio! I fell in love with these guys and their many escapades in the print version. I have read and loved all 10 volumes. Russo's performance enhanced the beginning of a story that is already dear to my heart. I want to thank Tricia for writing a series that didn't leave me hanging at the end of each volume. I craved the continuation of their journey, but didn't feel like the story was incomplete each time I awaited the next episode. If you enjoy a good MM romance with some serious spice, then this one is for you! Oral Delight I had already read the entire series so I knew the characters intimately. As my first audio book I was pleasantly surprised. Having the characters brought to life this way was really amazing. The voice actor did a nice job, more so for the men than the women's voices. The sex scenes were oh so sweet. Can't wait to hear the rest of the series. Excellent start to the series Any additional comments? The audio is so much better than the ebook. Nick Russo did an amazing job. He made each of the characters very destinced. the audio book was so much better than the ebook. I only have an issue that Ethan is called a blond. That so really bothers me. Other than that the story is pretty awesome. They are really starting to care for each other. I can't wait to read the rest of the books!!! Great start to this series! I really enjoyed this one! I honestly don't think I would have picked up this book on my own, but Nick Russo is an auto-buy for me. I will listen to just about anything he narrates :) And this one turned out to be surprising good! A small town boy from Indiana, a high roller from Las Vegas, some undeniable sexual chemistry, and this series is off to a great start. I definitely plan to continue... WOW! The story starts out with Ethan Winters going to a conference in Las Vegas for work. His boss and coworker go with him. Larry and Bob. They have a night of watching topless girls and pole dancers. Even some lap dancing going on. Little do they know that Ethan prefers the male sex. I called the purpose of the trip a conference because I can't remember the wording. When they go in to get their stuff and see the different agents there, they collect business cards and check the place out. Ethan meets an interesting man there and lets him show him around the town. He also meets another very distinguished guy at the conference. After meeting the first one, Johnathan, they get it on. It's not too many weeks before him and the other guy Maximillion,do the wild thing. I know it sounds like he's a horn dog, but he just has an active sex life. Max has abstained from sex for many years due to a relationship gone sour. Ethan has been the first one to stir something in him.

Title: The Devil Inside Author: Ali Vali Narrator: Hilarie Mukavitz Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Brains, guts, and ruthless ambition should be enough for a woman to come out on top in any fight. Except when the battle is over love, all bets are off. Cain Casey was groomed from birth to take the reins of the Casey family enterprises, which just happens to be one of the major crime organizations in New Orleans. Surviving by never turning away from a fight and knowing how to win at all costs, Cain is as careful with her heart as she is with her business - until she meets Emma Verde. The farm girl from Wisconsin puts a hit out on Cain's heart and leads her down a dangerous road filled with great joy and devastating sorrow. The Devil Inside is the story of unexpected passion, a shattering betrayal, and the challenge of love put to the test. First in the Cain Casey Saga. Members Reviews: Great Story- poor narration What did you love best about The Devil Inside? The story line about a female gangster and her love for her family What did you like best about this story? It keeps you interested How did the narrator detract from the book? Trying to do voices which sounded like adolescents. A FBI agent needs to sound like she is older than 12 years old. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Cain saved Emma from being shot even though they were estranged Any additional comments? I would like to see the rest of this series in audible but with a different narrator Narrator was Horrible This is one of my favorite series by Ali Vali and I can't remember how many times I wrote Bold Stroke Books to get this on Audio. Derby Cain Casey is one series to have in your collection but I am so disappointed in the narrator that I want to scream. Hilarie just don't capture the characters of this book with her voice. One minute she trys to have the southern twang of New Orleans then the next it's gone. If Merrick is this strong black woman who's basically an assassinator how in the heck can you have her sounding like some simple pansy Uggghhh. Her voice for Merrick don't even come across intimidating. Cain is the head of a Mafia family but unfortunately you can't tell in this audio. And last but not least I couldn't believe the voice of Muriel when she was introduced sounding like some saductress or madam or what? Was that suppose to be a sexy Muriel. OMG you talk about major foo-pah BS with this narrator. Get the book, save yourself some irritation. The book is excellent, the story keeps you on the seat of your pants and believe me you'll be looking forward to reading book two, three & four. Awesome story!! I love this book and have thought after reading it numerous times that it should been made into an audiobook. Now that it is it makes the story that much better. I love the series and wish there was another so we would know what the next Casey baby is. replace the , narrator! The Cain Casey saga is epic and u absolutely love it. So to have this person narrating didn't do it justice at all. she had the same voice for two children and one adult. the, emphasis that was needed for the dialog was completely wrong. please please replace this narrator Great story but listening to it was painful I loved the story. I had read it years ago when it was first released. I listen to a lot of books because I am working with my hands all day and it helps the days go by easier. I like to do use the whisper thing so I can read it at night.

Title: Divide and Conquer Subtitle: Cut & Run Series, Book 4 Author: Madeleine Urban, Abigail Roux Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-12 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 590 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Cut & Run Series, Book 4 - a sequel to Fish & Chips Baltimore is a city in alarming distress. Rising violence is fanning the flames of public outrage, and all law-enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are catching blame. Thus the FBIs latest ideas to improve public relations: a municipal softball league and workshops for community leaders. But the new commitments just mean more time Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have to spend apart when theyre happily exploring how to be more than by-the-book partners. Then the latest spate of crime explodes in their facesliterallythrowing the city, the Bureau, and Ty and Zanes volatile partnership both in and out of the office into chaos. Theyre hip-deep in trouble, trying to track down bombers and bank robbers in the dark with very few clues, and the only way to reach the light at the end of the tunnel together requires Ty and Zane to close their eyes and trust each other to the fiery end. Members Reviews: Can't Wait for #5 I feel like these guys are family and I just want to shake 'em and say.... "Get it together!" But their's is a very believable relationship of two men who come from worlds where homophobic standards are imposed. I do have to say that despite that, the end of this one is just out of left field. We need a resolution! Well Done! I happen to love this book. It???s my favorite in the series so far. Personally, Sean Crisden had his work cut out for him being the narrator of a novel that I've loved reading in print. I know every line in this book, know all the jokes and all the emotional scenes, and I've had a mental impression of what these scenes sound like. Sean Crisden doesn't always get it right, but he gets it right when it counts. It must be said that I'm not impressed by his reading of the first quarter of the book. For whatever reason his tone seemed monotonous and frustratingly, his inflections were off. He seemed to emphasize random words in sentences instead of the correct words. Also the voice he chose to use for Nick O was so irritating it borders on being the worst voice I've ever heard assigned to a character. However, his reading of Ty and Zane, and the supporting characters in general, were very well done as usual. The most important scene in the book (you know which one!) was read with a combination of strength and vulnerability, for which Crisden deserves the highest kudos. It may not be Crisden's best, but it's certainly a lovely effort. This is for the most part due to the story that was written. There's no getting enough of Ty and Zane. Urban and Roux makes falling in love breathtaking and sexy, hard to come to terms with, sometimes even painful to bear, and achingly difficult to endure alone. Therein lies the reason why this series is so popular. Although I intensely dislike Cameron as a character in Warrior's Cross, I have every faith in Roux succeeding in her new solo role for the crossover sequel. I will likely buy the next book in the series, Armed and Dangerous, provided Sean Crisden (or someone as talented) continues to read. I just like these two The authors need a copy editor although this isn't terrible.

Patience and Sarah Audiobook by Isabel Miller

Title: Patience and Sarah Author: Isabel Miller Narrator: Jean Smart, Janis Ian Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 487 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Grammy Award Nominee, Best Spoken Word Album, 2016 Set in the 19th century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White, an educated painter, and Sarah Dowling, a farmer's daughter, whose romantic bond does not sit well with the puritanical New England community in which they live. They choose to live together and love each other freely, even though they know of no precedents for their relationship; they must trust their own instincts and see beyond the disdain of their neighbors. Patience and Sarah is a meticulously researched historical novel, originally self-published by the author in 1969. This classic of GLBT literature garnered so much attention that the American Library Association created its first Stonewall Award specifically for it in 1971. Grammy Award-winning narrator Janis Ian and Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Jean Smart each perform as one of the characters in this dual-point-of-view love story. Their narration marks the first time that this beautiful work is available in audio and brings new life into this inspiring novel that is just as relevant today as it was decades ago. In addition to being an inspiring love story, the audiobook for Patience and Sarah is an ideal listen for young-adult audiences. It is a story that shows how irrelevant race, religion, and gender are to love and that loving and being loved are what keep us human and sane. Critic Reviews: "The writing has the directness and whimsicality of primitive paintings - it is like spiked gingerbread or surprising samplers. The tone is sweetly bold. And the tale evokes many kinds of frontier at once." (The Village Voice) "The story of a painter and a farmer in 19th-century New England. One of the first lesbian novels with a happy ending and, in 1971, the first recipient of ALA's Stonewall Book Award." (Library Journal) "Janis Ian and Jean Smart bring exquisite joy, vulnerability, and honesty to their narration of Isabel Miller's 1969 historical fiction novel.... As the two women realize their feelings for each other, the narrators take on a tender tone and slow their pace, allowing their romantic epiphany to unfold. This makes for a touchingly intimate listening experience." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: A beautiful tale blooms with great narration. I first read Patience and Sarah more than 40 years ago, and remembered it fondly as one of the first LGBT novels to contain three-dimensional characters, and to give those characters a happy ending. I was a bit apprehensive about listening to this audiobook -- I didn't want the tenderness and innocence of the plot and characters to be ruined by an insensitive interpretation by the narrators. I needn't have worried: Jean Smart and Janis Ian are perfect as Patience and Sarah. Jean Smart delivers a lovely and delicate performance as an educated young single woman who, as was often the case in the early 19th Century, has no choice but to live with her married brother and his family. While she is better off than many other single women (her father did settle certain property and money on her, which is, of course, controlled by her brother), she is not a happy woman, and (based upon her sister-in-law's life) is not interested in obtaining a husband. Janis Ian gives an excellent performance as Sarah, the daughter of a farmer whose farm is a few miles from Patience's brother's land.

Title: All She Wrote Subtitle: Holmes and Moriarity, Book 2 Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Kevin R. Free Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-13 Publisher: Josh Lanyon Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 347 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A murderous fall down icy stairs is nearly the death of Anna Hitchcock, the much-beloved "American Agatha Christie" and Christopher Holmes' former mentor. Anna's plea for him to host her annual winter writing retreat touches all Kit's sore spots - traveling, teaching writing classes, and separation from his new lover, J. X. Moriarity. For J. X., Kit's cancellation of yet another romantic weekend is the death knell of a relationship that has been limping along for months. But that's just as well, right? Kit isn't ready for anything serious and besides, Kit owes Anna far too much to refuse. Faster than you can say "Miss Marple wears boxer shorts", Kit is snooping around Anna's elegant, snowbound mansion in the Berkshires for clues as to who's trying to kill her. A tough task with six amateur sleuths underfoot. Six budding writers with a tangled web of dark undercurrents running among them. Slowly, Kit gets the uneasy feeling that the secret may lie between the pages of someone's fictional past. Unfortunately, a clever killer is one step ahead. And it may be too late for J. X. to ride to the rescue. Warning: Contains one irascible, 40-year-old mystery writer who desperately needs to get laid, one exasperated 30-something ex-cop only too happy to oblige, an isolated country manor that needs the thermostat cranked up, various assorted aspiring and perspiring authors, and a merciless killer who may have read one too many mystery novels. Members Reviews: Josh Lanyon does it again!! Where does All She Wrote rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I would say that it's in my "Top 5" list of audiobooks I've listened to. What other book might you compare All She Wrote to and why? I don't think I could compare it to other books because this differs too much from everything else I listen to. I would only be able to compare it to another Josh Lanyon book but that wouldn't work out well either since they're all so different. Which scene was your favorite? There are a lot of good scenes so it's hard to choose from. I would say one of my favorite scenes is when Christopher was in the hospital and the doctor asks if Christopher is allergic to any medicines and he says "I'm allergic to cantaloupe.........and probably honeydew too." The randomness of that statement made me laugh. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I absolutely will next time. Any additional comments? I'm eagerly waiting for "The Boy With the Painful Tattoo" to be released because this series has me hooked!! Great fun mystery, exquisite narration Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Oh, yes! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a really good mystery. Kit, the leading character is witty, with a self-deprecating sort of humor which brings lots of fun to the story. His friend and lover, J.X., is really really cool, as well as smart, kind, and so patient. The narration is simply perfection, Kevin R. Free has the exact voice i've imagined for Kit, as well as for J.X., and that's not an easy feat. He manages to bring to life all the different voices and nuances, adding a new dimension to an already pretty perfect book. What did you like best about this story? The mystery, the humor, and getting to spend more time with Kit and J.X.

Finding the Grain Audiobook by Wynn Malone

Come fall, Blue Riley would be back in North Carolina, in college. But one job led to another, one town led to another, and one woman led to another. Now, after twenty years Blue faces the hardest question of all - is it time to go home? Members Reviews: Too Glum for my fancy What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I really liked the part where she stayed with Mary and Preacher and decided to stop running from her feelings. The least interesting part is Blue's pining for Grace. Any additional comments? It's a well written book and I see why it would appeal to a lot of readers but I didn't appreciate it. It's too glum for my fancy. A beautiful story that expertly performed I dont know if it was the writing of Malone or performance by Benson that moved me to tears or outright laughter, I suspect it was both. Im so glad I found this gem! Best Book Yet! This was a marvelous book. So much love. Blue and Grace so perfect together. Southern Charm Never Seemed So Good I had this book on my wish list for a long while and always hesitated because I'm not a fan of stories set in the South and usually the southern twang annoys me, but I sure am glad I took a chance on this one. The story of Blue Riley; her failures, successes, loves and losses, as she makes her way through life, is so beautifully written and captivating. The story spans about 25 years of Blue's life. She travels throughout the country trying to find herself in a way, that I think a lot of people can relate to. She finally makes her way back home and finds peace with the life she lived and the decisions she made, which gives her the strength to fight for what she deserves. I hope Wynn Malone writes another book soon! This was truly wonderful. Great lesbian novel with lots of southern charm Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Definitely .... especially since I am from Charlotte, NC .... and Asheville, Winston Salem, New Bern and Highlands, UNC, NC State all play a big part in my life. Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Blue and Grace ,,,, but all the secondary characters were great too ,,,, Especially Preacher and Mary What about Amber Bensons performance did you like? She did a good job, but sometimes the accents would come and go ,,, and I'd have to go back and re- listen to see who exactly said what ,,,, Who was the most memorable character of Finding the Grain and why? For sure Preacher and Mary

Title: Professional Distance Subtitle: Thorne and Dash, Book 1 Author: Silvia Violet Narrator: Greg Boudreaux Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-16 Publisher: Silvia Violet Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 290 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Thornwell Shipton is wealthy, uptight, closeted, and an incurable workaholic. A tragic love affair left him terrified of relationships, so he tells himself sex is better scheduled and paid for. Riley Dashwood is young, easy-going, and comfortable in his own skin. He's a passionate baker and an aspiring chef, working as an escort to save up for culinary school. They're clearly made for each other. When Thorne hires Dash, it's lust at first sight. After a few scorching nights together, both men start to wonder if what's between them is more than physical, but their age gap and resistance to romance make them afraid to change their professional relationship to a personal one. Dash pushes Thorne to admit he wants things he's denied himself for years. Kinky things. Soft, caring things. Things that force him to open his heart, not just his body. To move forward, one or the other must take a risk and ask for what he really wants. Members Reviews: A May/December romance, with a naughty twist. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would. It's very well written and conveyed. What did you like best about this story? The way the relationship between Thorne and Dash developed slowly over time. Which scene was your favorite? Shout out to Say Anything, the movie with John Cusack. Can't say more, you'll just have to listen. If you could rename Professional Distance, what would you call it? I hate this question. The title the Author gave the book is perfect, why mess with perfection? Any additional comments? Oh but I seriously enjoyed this book. Violet wove an amazing story for Thorne and Dash and Boudreaux does a fantastic job of bringing these characters, the Author's words to life. Early on you realize that Thorne has this unnatural need to be in control of everything, except in the bedroom. He allows himself one night a week to acquiesce that control and allow someone else to tell him what to do, to help him release all the pent up anxiety and stress. That's where Dash comes into play, pun intended. What starts out as a strictly business relationship slowly evolves into so much more. Dash pulls Thorne out of himself, shows him how to unwind and live. Boudreaux is an auto buy for me much like his alter-ego, Tremblay. I don't think there is a character he can't bring to life. He also has this uncanny ability to convey the characters emotions in a way that you can feel what they are feeling while listening. Of course, he's only as good as the story which is where the Author comes in. Violet wrote such a great story, a May/December romance with a twist. Definitely a must listen! Hot story I enjoyed this story. Likes the writing and creation of the characters. Nice tone too by the narrator. Plan to get more from this author. Well written story + great narration = hotness Where does Professional Distance rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top10% without doubt What was one of the most memorable moments of Professional Distance? A the scene where the young rent boy breaks down the main character's sexual and intimate defenses Which character as performed by Greg Boudreaux was your favorite? The main character.

Title: Just Business Author: Anna Zabo Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Justin White may not look like an up-and-coming corporate superstar, but his new boss knows that he has the smarts, grit, and determination to succeed. Now he just has to convince his company's CFO, Eli Ovadia. Unfortunately, Justin can't seem to keep his cool around the domineering Eli, and soon he finds himself taking their heat from the boardroom into the bedroom. Still haunted by a tragic accident that left him with a wounded leg and broken heart, Eli has a need to be in control. But his desire for Justin makes him want to lose that control and push them both far beyond their limits. Will his need to dominate Justin drive him away, or will Eli find a way to be the man he needs for both of them? Critic Reviews: "I adored this book, and I bow to Anna Zabo for writing a story that was so wonderful I didn't want it to end." (Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews) Members Reviews: Just Business Great Just business was a funny, sexual, laugh out loud at times, page turner. I read this in one day, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read more from this author. Definitely a good read but it is quite explicit sexually. Enjoy Absolutely amazing! I loved this book. so much so, that I listen to it almost every week. Its just so special. Eli and Justin are so great. We also get to see more of Sam and Michael! Narrator is also awesome! Amazing! I absolutely loved the story line. Some of the sex scenes were tough to get through, but if you can make it through them you'll thoroughly enjoy this! Wonderful story! The story was intresting and unique although I dont like the reader so much. I liked the relationship between the MC's. 3 Sweet and agonising The characters is coming alive and I can feel the love, anger, despair and sadness. Justin is a sweet guy afraid of not getting to be himself. Eli is one tormented soul. They find love together. And the voice Iggy Toma is oh so good. The only thing missing for me is that Justin should have got a closure to his paste. But I do recommend this book.

Lunch twice a week with his ex-girlfriend-turned-BFF and the occasional messy venture to a dodgy gay bar is all the company he needs, right? Then one night he stumbles across newly divorced firefighter Rupert O'Neil. Rupert is lost and lonely, but just about the sweetest bloke Jodi has ever known. Add in the heady current between them, and Jodi can't help falling hard in love. He offers Rupert a home within the walls of his cosy Tottenham flat - a sanctuary to nurture their own brand of family - and for four blissful years, life is never sweeter. Until a cruel twist of fate snatches it all away. A moment of distraction leaves Jodi fighting for a life he can't remember and shatters Rupert's heart. Jodi doesn't know him - or want to. With little left of the man he adores, Rupert must cling to what remains of his shaky faith and pray that Jodi can learn to love him again. Word count: 72,500 Members Reviews: Broke My Heart But I Still Loved It I think I need some recovery time after this one- something light and fluffy full of rainbows and kittens to be exact. My stars! This book tore my heart up and had the tears flowing a few times. Love can be so hard when one lover loses his memory and must find his way back while the other must hold steadfast and strong when hope is nearly lost. I knew I was in for it because I've read other books by this author, but being prepared didn't help one iota when the feels hit and washed over me like a hurricane. The story is told in present time line and flashbacks. Lordy, those flashbacks are so necessary. I had to see and know what Jodi was like when he and Rupert met and fell in love because after the accident and the Traumatic Brain Injury he is so different and poor heroic Rupert is nearly breaking under it all. It's one that once started I couldn't have stopped. I had to know if Jodi's memories would return and what would bring on the ending I was really hoping for. There is so much that felt authentic and real about this story. I don't know exactly what an TMI recovery would be like, but I thought the author nailed it. Just as I don't know what a relationship would do if one partner only remembered his past forgetting the last three years so he forgot the love of his life and thought he was still seeing his best friend or that the other partner is dealing with seriously reduced finances, care for his partner, and struggling to do what's right by said partner even while his heart is breaking. It was dramatic and emotional, but not fake or manipulated. I experienced this story in the audio format and I enjoyed Craig Beck's narration. I thought he caught the characters and the situation just right. He had a good tone and pace. I really appreciated that he didn't try to add more drama to an already emotional story. He let the story carry itself. All in all, I am completely tapped out. This story needs a warning label- wonderful, but be prepared to really feel it. I definitely recommend this m/m contemporary romance to those who enjoy difficult romance, lots of spice, and a considerate respect for the various elements. Wow! Another great story from Garrett Leigh! ****4.5 stars****Wow! I've adored Garrett Leigh's writing since I read Slide way back when. One of the things I love is how she writes about normal, everyday people.

Title: Ethan in Gold Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 183 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Johnnies: Book Three Evan Costa learned from a very early age that there was no such thing as unconditional love and that it was better to settle for what you could get instead of expecting the world to give you what you need. As Ethan, porn model for Johnnies, he gets exactly what he wants - comradeship and physical contact on trade -and he is perfectly satisfied with that. He's sure of it. Jonah Stevens has spent most of his adult life helping to care for his sister and trying to keep his beleaguered family from fraying at the edges. He's had very little time to work on his confidence or his body for that matter. When Jonah meets Ethan, he doesn't see the hurt child or the shamelessly slutty porn star. He sees a funny, sexy, confident man who-against the odds-seems to like Jonah in spite of his very ordinary, but difficult, life. Sensing a kindred spirit and a common interest, Ethan thinks a platonic friendship with Jonah won't violate his fair trade rules of sex and touch, but Jonah has different ideas. Ethan's pretty sure his choice of jobs has stripped away all hope of a real relationship, but Jonah wants the whole package-the sexy man, the vulnerable boy, the charming companion who works so hard to make other people happy. Jonah wants to prove that underneath the damage Ethan has lived with all his life, he's still gold with promise and the ability to love. Members Reviews: Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance Would you listen to Ethan in Gold again? Why? When the Johnnies series first come out I can still clearly remember reading Chase Shadow and being left with the feeling that my heart had been torn out with all the hurt. If somebody asked me to give one word to describe Amy Lane it would undoubtedly be ANGST. She is the absolute master of it!! Ethans book is also full of angst but not in the all consuming way that Chases was. At the start of this book we find out that Ethan has been abused at school, as a 5 year old, by the bad man with him bamboo. At first he is supported by his family but those feelings quickly change when they pull away and his mother stops touching him altogether. Whether in fear, stupidity or ignorance the pain this causes Ethan and the effects it will have on his life are devastating and life changing, even more so than the original abuse . Ethan craves touch and I mean CRAVES. He reminded me of a big puppy as he grew up, always trying to do the right thing, to please everybody around him, just so people would touch his arm or tousle his hair. His family fail him completely in this respect; he has a failed attempt at a sexual experience with another boy which leads to more confusion and pain and for a while settles in a relationship with a girlfriend. Although not what he wants deep down he is finally being touched, skin on skin and it settles him. After leaving his family he finds a way of getting the touch he needs in abundance. He becomes Ethan, a porn star. He has unconsciously built a new family around himself and the men in his life, his co-stars, recognise the need in him to be touched and petted and look after him well. Two years into this new life he meets Jonah who will rock his world and change everything. Jonah has no experience of the world Ethan lives in. His is a twenty something year old virgin whose life revolves around work, home and looking after his dying sister.

Title: Aftermath Author: Ann McMan Narrator: Christine Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 01-29-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 260 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Runner-Up, 2013 Rainbow Award for Lesbian Contemporary General Fiction Readers everywhere fell in love with Syd, Maddie, David, Michael, Pete, and the irrepressible Roma Jean Freemantle in Ann McMan's 2011 best seller, Jericho. Now, return to the tiny mountain town in the much-anticipated sequel, Aftermath. Over the past 18 months, Syd, Maddie, and little Henry have become a family, and things are going surprisingly well for most of Jericho's residents...if you don't count the devastating storm that whips through town. In the weeks and months to come, Syd, Maddie, and all of Jericho are forced to pick up the pieces and rebuild their homes, their lives, and their town. The task is sometimes hard, sometimes emotional, and sometimes absurd, but it is always full of smart and sassy humor and an abundance of good food and wine. Critic Reviews: "Aftermath by Ann McMan is the follow-up to her debut novel, Jericho. It manages to take all of Jericho's strengths and build on them, leaving the [listener] with a story that is often hilarious, occasionally heartrending, and entirely satisfying.... Christine Williams is back as narrator, and again, the narration is excellent. I truly can't imagine anyone else bringing these words to life in the same way." (The Lesbian Review) Members Reviews: Better than the first It's not often that the second book is better than the first. The first book had some parts that were a bit cheesy but aftermath had me cracking up. I can't wait to read the next in the series not really a sequel but great nontheless I loved Jericho. and aftermath is just as amazing. Roma - Jeanne is by far my favorite side character. And the hooters bit had me in stitches. hoping for a third book in the series loved it . I'm hoping that the story will continue to a 3 rd book there's so munch story left to say . Funny and cute The story is more about the unique people who live in Jericho after a tornado crashes through the area. There are a lot of funny and surprising twists. Absolutely Fabulous! I was laughing uncontrollably out loud at one part! Very entertaining! Again, I think the writing is amazing and the characters well developed. Can't wait for more from this author!

Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 303 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When introverted doctor Ben Hardy's high-maintenance girlfriend wants to introduce a little more kink into their love life, he doesn't expect it to come in the form of the hunky new EMT who just moved to Blackwood. Ben's not gay, but damn! He can definitely see why all the women turn to mush when he's around: tall, blue eyes, body of an underwear model. The prospect of being naked in the same room with him is horrifying. So why the hell is he considering it? Corey Butler desperately needs to leave his shady past behind, and the microscopic town of Blackwood is just the place to do it. No drama, no danger, no sleeping under bridges. What he doesn't need is a huge crush on someone who's completely out of his league. When Dr. Hardy's gorgeous girlfriend propositions him for a threesome, he knows the smart thing would be to say no. Of course it would. But then, Corey's never been known for making smart decisions. (A M/M Romance containing graphic M/M & M/F/M scenes.) Members Reviews: Even better the 2nd time with Audible! I've previously read Owning Cory on my Kindle, but when Maris Black said it was being released on Audible with J.F Harding as narrator, I just had to get the audible version and read/listen again. I'm happy to say that story with the narrative makes it even more enjoyable! This a great mm story with a little angst, a little suspense and a whole lot of hot man action with a little m/f/m thrown in to get the balls rolling....definitely worth the 2nd read. Enjoy! Outstanding read - from beginning to end! Great characters run the range of funny to intense. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a book as much! Loved this story! I was so excited to see new author on audible with so many books to come out I couldn't wait. I was not disappointed. This story was great, the narrator did a great job also.

Any additional comments? Beautiful love story, loved it!

As the only gay professional football player, he's in great demand for interviews and commercials, but if the Chevali Firebirds are to make it to the championship game, he'll need to play the best football of his life. Every distraction is a danger. And the number one distraction is his boyfriend, Lee. Sick over the death of a young player, Lee pushes Dev to take a more active role in reaching out to gay youth, and he doesn't take Dev's resistance well. When push comes to shove, will their love for each other triumph? Members Reviews: Emotional rush! Amazing! At first I was scared that they would get into a fight and never recover from it and then I thought that they'd break up for some dumb reason I thought a lot of things, I was so freaked out when I got to so many point in the story I honestly had to take a break before I exploded from the excitement. I'm so happy about the ending and I can't wait to start the next book! Thank you so much for another amazing book! I love it! Also Jeremy Sewell is pretty damn good, props to him! <3 Loved every second I've read the previous books and this a good edition to them can't wait for the 5th! Heartwarming and Romantic It was a wonderful and inspiring story and the characters seemed a bit more real to me than many of the characters in "furry" stories. Excellent addition in the "Dev and Lee" series I'd recommend this novel to anyone interested in gay fiction, or if they enjoy anthropomorphic characters. The two lead characters are fleshed out and the narrator does a wonderful job of giving life to the original text. great book and series awsome book and series that keeps me wanting more. I would recommend this to anyone looking for hope and guidance in your life if going though love and family issues. makes me really want a 5th book. maybe we'll get one of them being married and have cubs or one where Dev wins a championship. who knows.

Where He Ends & I Begin Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Title: Where He Ends & I Begin Subtitle: Home Collection, Book 3 Author: Cardeno C. Narrator: Alexander Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 143 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Aggressive, physical, and brave, Jake Owens is a small town football hero turned big city cop who passes his time with meaningless encounters believing he can't have who he really wants: Nate Richardson, his best friend since before forever. Thoughtful, quiet, and kind, Nate is a brilliant doctor who has always known who he is and has never been able to shake his crush on loyal, courageous, straight Jake. After a passionate night together, Nate realizes Jake isn't as straight as he assumed, but he worries that what they shared was a fluke, a result of too much closeness for too long. For Jake, the question isn't how they ended up in bed together because he has always known that Nate holds his heart; it's how he'll convince Nate that he wants and needs to stay there. Members Reviews: Sweet and OH-SO-HOT!! Any additional comments? Where He Ends and I Begin is a super-hot sexy, no angst, sweet and fluffy romance about two best friends who become lovers and are, at their core, soul mates. ~~ "We've always been almost like one person. I've never known where he ends and where I begin." ~~ Told in Jake and Nate's alternating dual POV, we learn Jake and Nate have been best friends literally from birth. Their mothers were the only girls in their big families and became best friends as children, sharing their lives together, marrying within weeks of each other, getting pregnant at the same time, and even giving birth on the same day. From the moment Jake and Nate were placed together in the hospital basinet they've been together. They've never really spent any time apart, nor wanted to. That doesn't mean they're the same, though. Jake is rough, tough and can be a dick, and Nate is sweet, smart and almost always kind. Even though Jake can be a tough nut he has always treated Nate like gold. Mainly because it turns out Jake has been in love with Nate all his life, but never known how to really tell Nate that his "love" isn't a platonic brotherly love, but that he's actually "in love" with Nate. It took me a little to get into the swing of the story. It's not only told in dual POV, in the beginning the same scene is replayed from both perspectives, which had me a little off balance. Once I got used to it though, I enjoyed seeing how each man dealt with a situation, and what his inner thoughts on it were. I enjoyed Alexander Collin's narration for the story. He has a way of pulling me in and keeping me charmed throughout. He really made me believe Nate's reluctance to believe that the one man he's always wanted really does want him back and this isn't a fluke, or a fling. I loved Collin's depiction of Jake, who's determined to make sure Nate knows he's in this relationship for the long haul and that he loves him totally and unconditionally. I absolutely love the emotion and romance in this; the way they both so vulnerable in different ways, the way Jake takes care of Nate, and how they both interact with one another...it just absolutely made me melt. I also love all the sex. And a friendly warning: there is a lot of sex. I don't think there's a single chapter without some, and it's all SUPER HOT.

If it can be. When Gem and Austin meet by chance in the midst of an approaching hurricane, neither expects their immediate connection to lead them into uncharted territory as wild as the looming storm. When word of the spill gets out, Gem and Austin find themselves reluctant allies in a race against time to divert the spill and save the wildlife refuge and its endangered inhabitants - all while battling an attraction as unlikely as it is powerful. A high-stakes race against time, the forces of nature, and the strongest power of all - the desire of the human heart. A First Responders Novel Members Reviews: Nice Thev story was nice and predictable. For me, the story lacked anything surprising or unexpected. great book I really enjoyed this book. Of course, credit does go to the Narrator, Abby Craden, for making it amazing!!!! Radclyffe had a great story in Wild Shores. A must have Audio! Sweet story Story was sweet, exciting, flowed well and had enough sexy times for a good balance. Narrator gave a great performance and did a great job with the voices. Conservation at it's best Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. I enjoy all of Radclyffe's books. This was one of her best. What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild Shores? When Austin was on the boat. Which character as performed by Abby Craden was your favorite? Austin Germain If you could rename Wild Shores, what would you call it? Don't think it needs a different name. Any additional comments? I love Abby Craden as a narrator and would listen to whatever she reads. What happened? This book is shorter than the others. It took getting all the way to the end to figure out why it was. The book is good but I wonder why the author choose to keep the book short and not finish out many aspects of the story line. It is kind of like the last chapter or two was omitted from the book.

But everything changed the moment that Sean Harding became his bodyguard. Though now he faces more danger than ever with the evil Ydrath seeking his life, with Sean by his side and guarding his back he's determined to no longer be ruled by fear. Sean Harding believed he would always be haunted by the death of his old team on the police force by the mysterious Scarred Man. But now he is ruled by a passion to keep the beautiful and brilliant Dane Gareis safe from the Ydrath at all costs. His past, however, is not so easily escaped. The danger he and Dane face is connected to the Powder that nearly took his life, but left him with inexplicable powers. Members Reviews: Another great story! I loved the whole book. I will be relistening to it. Shawn and Dane's love story is amazing. Their bond is strong, believable and enables them to not only stay together but help save the world. And continue protecting it. why?? *sigh* why the narrator change? I still like the story, Raythe is awesome, and I will be listening to it again even with the change, but I dislike Pauley's monotone narration. The distinction between character voices is done well enough but there's just something missing from his overall performance. It's also a bit jarring getting used to a whole new set of voices and pronounciation when listening back to back. I really hope it switches back to Chris Patton for the final book. he did it again the story is so much like cursed it makes you want more i will say that i love this series and can't wait for the 3rd book of this series it is so good it is worth it The artifact The bodyguard book 2 I shocked my self by how much I love these books the formula is pretty much what I expected troubled people coming together to do battle against supernatural forces and fall in love with each other but it works out Beautifully I almost forgot about the supernatural part of the story Sean and Danes caring for and about each other makes the book for me the two performances of the reader's bring everything to life yes I will listen to these books again LOVE the story HATE the voice The first book was read by Chris Patten and it's beautiful. He has the most amazing voice and it able to give each character their own voice in a way. I muscled through this new reader only because I wanted to know what happens next. The story is wonderful it has all the eerie suspense that a mystery novel needs, but just enough romance and sexual tension that a Romance novel needs. Plus the characters have very real personalities, and such scarring pasts!!! All in all I wish I had just bought the Kindle version and not the Audible. I just don't enjoy the new voice compared to the old, but it's still a wonderful novel!

Narrator: Charlie David Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-15 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 344 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Hollywood royalty Jeremy Jameson has lived a sheltered life with music as his sole focus and only friend. Before embarking on another international concert tour, he wanders into a bar in what he considers the middle-of-nowhere and meets a man who wins him over with his friendly smile and easy-going nature. Accountant, bartender, and adventure-seeker Reg Moore has fun talking and drinking with "The" Jeremy Jameson and can't say no when the supposedly straight rock star makes him a once-in-a-lifetime offer: keep him company on his tour by playing the part of his boyfriend. Listening to music, traveling the world, and jumping off cliffs is fun. Falling in love is even better. But to stay with Jeremy after the stage lights dim, Reg will need to help him realize there's nothing to pretend about their relationship. Members Reviews: One of my favorites of all time! Any additional comments? When 31 year old Rock superstar Jeremy Jameson steps into a seedy bar in Munds Park, Arizona it turns out to be the best thing to ever happen to him. Jeremy is not your typical rock startheres no drugs, or scores of sexual exploits, or crazy publicity anticshes quiet, a bit shy, and, most of all, lonely. When he starts up a conversation with bartender, Reggie Moore, he finds himself relaxed and engaged and having a great time. After closing down the bar, ending up on Regs couch for the night, and a few more drinks an idea takes root: Reg would love to travel more and Jeremy is sick of going out on the road alone, or with women who dont understand its not all premieres and glitzy eventsso Jeremy offers Reg the opportunity to become Jeremys pretend boyfriend for seven months of travel, companionship, and adventure while Jeremy plays his latest world tour dates. Reg isnt your typical bartender, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University with a degree in Accounting, but since an office job was killing him, he returned home to work and save enough money to go travel the world. Reg understands that Jeremy doesnt want a real boyfriend, but a friend, someone to spend with who wouldnt have ulterior motives or make constant demands. The offer is amazing but Reg makes two requests: ask again once Jeremy sobers up and to give him a year instead of seven months. ~~~~~~~ It was sad that he felt he had to essentially hire that function out, but Reg wouldnt complain. Jeremy was cool, his music was amazing, and touring the world would be a dream come true. I hope so, man, he said. Thatd be awesome. It would. Jeremy nodded. No more lonely nights. No more boring flights with nobody to talk to. No more girls who say they want to be with me when they dont even like me, and all they really want is a leg up. He sighed. No more. ~~~~~~~ This story is hands down one of my favorite books of all time. I played a game with a friend where I was asked to name three books I would want with me if I was stranded on a deserted island, and Perfect Imperfections easily made the list. Why? Because, to me, its perfect. Theres no angst, no miscommunication, tons of humor, and hot sexy times.

But the course of true love never does run smooth. Rand wants him home on the ranch; Stef wants an exit strategy in case Rand ever decides to throw him out. Finally, after recognizing how unfair he's being, Stef makes a commitment, and Rand is over the moon. When Stef gets the chance to prove his devotion, he doesn't hesitate - despite the risk to his health - and Rand takes the opportunity to show everyone that sometimes life's best surprises come after the sunset. Members Reviews: About time!!! Another great follow up story from a fantastic author.. And another great narration from Sean Can't wait for more fantastic stories Finally! :-) I have been waiting impatiently for this book to come out in audio format since Timing was recorded, and it's finally here! Some of the best lines Mary Calmes' has ever written is in this book. And Sean Crisden is a great narrator. It can be heard as a stand alone story, but it's so much better as a followup to Timing. Love this book!! Absolutely Wonderful Book 2 complements and concludes a beautiful love story that is believable and victorious!! Absolutely Spectacular Read!! I listen to both books over and over again. Fun, fast paced story! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Hell yes! It was just so much fun, I laughed out loud more than once, and Sean Crisden did a fantastic job telling this story. Who was your favorite character and why? Stefan! He is unapologetic and fierce and loyal and really enjoyed following his antics throughout the story. Which character as performed by Sean Crisden was your favorite? Rand. His cave man mentality might have been off putting were I reading the story, but Crisden gave him this gruff, domineering tone with that sexy southern drawl, and that coupled with his attitude made him a very endearing character. If you could rename After the Sunset, what would you call it? Why mess with perfection? Any additional comments? Stefan and Rand are adjusting well to their life on the ranch now that Stef has taken a job closer to home so that he can spend his nights at the ranch with Rand. But Rands more traditional family is still having reservations about the relationship, so when several of them show up at the ranch, with a leggy lady in tow to temp Rand, it doesnt end well. Then Stef gets a call from an annual rodeo and learns that if the ranch doesnt participate, they loose part of their land rights. Not wanting to put anything else on Rands plate right then, Stef rounds up some of the hands and heads off to the rodeo to try and save the day, Prada boots and all! While the hands at the ranch have not only accepted the relationship between their former ornery boss and his outgoing boyfriend, they welcome it, not everyone at the rodeo has the same outlook on things. Animosity and ignorance run deep, and Stef is about to get a crash course in wranglers, ropers and bull riding. The issues isnt whether or not Stef and the guys can save the ranch. Its whether or not Stef can keep his activities a secret from Rand, and make it home in one piece. I had not read or listened to the first book in this series, but I assure you, I never felt like I was missing anything.

Into This River I Drown Audiobook by TJ Klune

Everyone called it an accident, but Benji knows it was more. Even years later, he's buried in his grief, throwing himself into managing Big Eddie's convenience store in the small-town of Roseland, Oregon. Surrounded by his mother and three aunts, he lives day to day, struggling to keep his head above water. But Roseland is no ordinary place. With ever more frequent dreams of his father's death and waking visions of feathers on the river's surface, Benji finds his definition of reality bending. He thinks himself haunted; by ghosts or memories, he can no longer tell. Not until a man falls from the sky, leaving the burning imprint of wings on the ground, does Benji begin to understand that the world is more mysterious than he ever imagined - and more dangerous. As uncontrollable forces descend on Roseland, they reveal long-hidden truths about friends, family, and the stranger Calliel - a man Benji can no longer live without. Members Reviews: Well written, heartbreakingly earnest narration! Where does Into This River I Drown rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I don't often write book reviews. I was really hesitant about buying this book as it had no reviews and only a 2 star rating. Take a chance on this book! I have a very low tolerance for awkward, amateurish, or self indulgent writing. I couldn't find a single hitch in this imaginative, well realized, and expertly executed story. Where "In This River I Drown" really shines, though, is the narration. It took only about a minute for the narrater to wrap the story around my heart and squeeze. His voice, off-puttingly childish only for a moment, somehow immersed me in the bittersweet joy of memories, the warmth of families, friends, and loves. I felt like my heart was crushed a few times through the story, felt so much relief I gasped in others, and in some points felt more rage than I've felt toward any story villains I can remember. This story, and this voice will become a part of you experience, and these characters will become a part of your psyche, and your heart. Who was your favorite character and why? Kal, without a doubt. His bright love for the world and such seemingly small things was so endearing, and paradoxically he was terrifying in his strength. Beautiful! Nina is a close second, though she seemed a bit like a Stephen King style gimmick (one I've always been fond of, though). What about Matt Bacas performance did you like? Oh my gosh! So many things I could say. I have no idea how he did it, but the earnestness in his voice somehow melted me from the start. The rawness with which he recounts joyful memories just wrenches your heart right in two! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Both, but more cry. It's not a sad book. Rather the opposite. It's a book full of such joy and warmth and tenderness that it makes you ache. Probably the best book in my library. I could go on for days about this book. Really, I was hesitant to start with. I loved "Bear, Otter and the Kid", but was completely on the fence about the follow up - it lacked something; to flippant I think. So when this book landed, I had my doubts. Boy, was I wrong.

Austin Glass seems to have it all: a loving fiancée, a future with the FBI, and a healthy-sized trust fund. At least on the surface. He also has a grin and a wisecrack for every situation. But the smile he presents to the world hides a painful past hes buried too deeply to remember, and his quips mask bitterness and insecurity. Austin has himself and most of the whole world fooled - until he meets a redhead in a pair of bunny slippers. As events unfold in the biggest case of his life, Austins carefully planned future unravels, and he finds himself pushed into making quick, life-changing decisions. But can he trust himself or anything he feels, when each event seems to be just a series of volatile reactions? Members Reviews: AWESOME! This book was awesome! M/M romance fans...you are so going to want this book! The story is what is so great, more so than the character development...but wow, there are some great, and extremely well developed characters, right down to the bevey of secondary characters... The romance is slow and engaging...not many amex scenes...but unlike most m/m romance books where u literally need the smex at times to drive the story forward...the smex was more so apart of the story and written so well you hardly notice there is smex in this book. Although good scenes, I do wish there were more...but because u learn the background of the characters so well...when they actually get around to smexy time...u understand why they only went as far as they did...made perfect sense! I LOVED the background of the 3 not brothers, but brothers! I loved the dialogue in this book....so funny, so serious and so dramatic! Just Awesome...AWESOME! Narration was great...first time with this narrator... Definitely worth the credit... Remember this is a m/m romance, mystery, suspense book...so if neither of those are ur cup of tea...well skip this and drink cola! ** I have a new love for bunny slippers! Perfect! There are days when I need a serious book, days when I need to read something relaxing, and days when I need to be shaken to my very core. There are books that are appropriate for each of those days, but only one I can think of thats appropriate for all of them. From a readers point of view, Shattered Glass is a dream come true. Austin Glass is a vice detective, a trust fund baby and an aspiring FBI agent. He is young, successful, competent, instantly likeable and engaged to a gorgeous, intelligent woman. But theres one thing Austin Glass isnt he most certainly is not gay. So then why cant he stop obsessing about a gorgeous busboy in bunny slippers? Why cant he get those darn bunny slippers out of his head? If only he could buy the man some shoes, something safe and unattractive like loafers all his problems would surely disappear. I'm not gay. That wasn't what I meant to say. Congratulations. Would you like a medal? Bunny Slippers asked. I already have a medal. For bravery, not for being gay. I think you made me gay. I made you gay? He set down the napkin he was holding. Is that better or worse than the person who made you stupid? Peter, or Bunny Slippers if you prefer, is a study in contradictions. He is rude, but has an obvious vulnerable side. He is a (former) prostitute, but he has very high standards.

Growing up in a small town in Georgia hasn't prepared him for the more liberal life of a student at the university in Athens. Add to that the teachings of his parents and his church, and you have one shy young man who feels out of his depth. Working on his daddy's farm hasn't given him any chance of a social life, certainly not one like the clubs of Atlanta have to offer. Not that Tommy feels comfortable when he gets to sample it - Momma's lectures still ring loudly inside his head. All that changes when he goes to his first gay bar and sets eyes on Mike Scott. When Mike's not behind the bar at Woofs, he's busy with his life as adult entertainer Scott Masters. Twenty years in the industry and the times, they are a-changing. Mike's not had much luck in the relationship department, but as his mom is fond of telling him, you keep fishing in the same pond, you're gonna reel in the same kind of fish. Maybe it's time for a change. And then a beautiful young man asks Mike to be his first.... Members Reviews: Sweet story, good narration Tommy is a sweet, sweet 19 year old college student who has decided its time to come out to his family and be the man he always was inside. Part of this decision is his super-stalker-crush on the hot bartender he meets, Mike. Mike is 40, a porn star and a bar tender at a local gay sports pub. Hes not really looking for a relationship as hes just gotten out of one where yet again- his boyfriend couldnt handle his career. When Tommy comes out to his family, they disown him, forcing him to re-evaluate his life and priorities. Luckily, his roommates family is awesome, and they mostly adopt him and help him with his new look on life. With their support, Tommy gathers his courage and asks Mike to be his first. His first real kiss, and everything. Mike and Tommy find themselves connecting on a level that neither expected. To Tommy, Mike is everyone hed ever hoped to find, even if hed never really defined that. Tommy happens to hit all of Mikes buttons, both protective and otherwise, despite the age gap. The big conflict comes when Tommy who comes from a very strict background with very black and white morality code finds out Mikes also a big porn star. Mike has to decide whats more important? His career or his love life? ** I really enjoyed this book. Tommy was a sweet heart and though he seemed almost too good to be true, I appreciated his ability to just set aside the non-sense from his family and concentrate on his own heart. I was glad that he got immediate support from his roommates family and that going to school was never the issue. I also though that Tommys attitude about porn and his unwillingness to have Mike in the industry felt very authentic. And while Mike never made it out like porn was anything but work, I was glad that he could see Tommys side of things. The firsts were super hot and I loved the chemistry between these two guys. This was a fun, mostly angst-free look at first love and two incongruous people coming together in a perfect fit. Ive always enjoyed KC Wells writing and find it smooth, flowing and immersive. I highly recommend this book and give it 4.5 of 5 stars. Audio Gregory Salinas Gregory Salinas is a new to me narrator.

A return to the Gulf Coast life and a chance to reconnect and reclaim what really matters leads to unexpected passion and a final chance at true love in this tumultuous summer romance from best-selling author Gerri Hill! Members Reviews: Typical Hill; Predictable But Still Good I'm a huge fan of lesbian romance and for all of it's weaknesses this one rates on the high end of the genre for me. The first Gerri Hill book offered on Audible was Snow Falls, and I loved it despite a number of those weaknesses. To a large extent this audiobook was Snow Falls goes to the beach, the two main characters were again a tightly wound, successful career woman, and a late blooming wallflower who still considers herself straight, and has a domineering mother. I liked it almost as much as I did Snow Falls and as always there were several passages that brought big sloppy tears to my eyes and down my cheeks. One problem that I have with this author and many other baby boomer writers who attempt to write millennial characters and their families. They deal with all the old prejudices and mores that they had to encounter and deal with in their twenties as if the social and political landscape hasn't changed since then. Both lead characters are practically virgins (the author is a bit vague about Jordan's sexual history) and the attitudes that exist, particularly those of Annie's mother are over the top. I'm not saying that people like Clara no longer exist, but I'm in a community in the rural south and I don't come across very many people who are living that far in the past. Also Jordan's big time job in Chicago is never referred to in any specificity, all we're told is that it's in finance and she has to deal with a client in Tokyo. Then both lead characters, one in her late twenties the other in her mid thirties who never seem to comment on each other's bodies. It sounds to me like Annie's pregnancy took her from a barely B cup, to a heavy C and Jordan addresses it as if she were Annie's obstetrician. In any case despite the repetitive plot and those issues with detail, if like romance, particularly lesbian romance; get it. great book I love all of Gerri Hills books. great, warm love stories. I just wish, in real life, parents eventually warmed up to their daughters lesbian lifestyle. One of the best At first I had a hard time following, however by the end of chapter one I was fully invested. it was a laugh out loud, very sentimental, romantic book that is going to make you want so much more of it . Every part of this book represents someone out there in the Lbgt community. the stress, the fear, the fight within us to want to be who we are and just be in love with the special person. The family drama..its real. The crazy Ex.. yup that's real too. tell me who hasn't had one of those? This was such a sweet book.. I can't wait for Hill to write a new one or expand on some of her old ones... This is a must read over and over.. Win Once again, a nice story, and the narrator wasn't good. Gerri Hill does a great job and I love her stories As always GerriHill's books never disappoint, this was a great book. Carly Robins narrated it perfectly. Looking forward to reading more great books like this one.

Stupid idea, but simple. She'd done it a dozen times before. Kristin Walker, doesn't want to go on this trip, be the perfect hostess, or be the boss's wife anymore, but finds herself trapped in all three. When an unexpected turn of events transforms their three days in paradise into a fight for survival, both women struggle against the odds and their own fears. However, the biggest challenge is their growing attraction toward each other and the question of who will rescue whom? Members Reviews: GAAAAH! Narrator is so bad! Can whomever casts the voice actors for lesbian romance novels at Audible please be moved to another department STAT. They have absolutely no idea what their doing and they are ruining perfectly good books. This narrator is so woefully miscast (her voice sounds like some uptight, society snob and is also grating). This is so annoying because so many of the lesbian romances I buy are just narrated badly. Do they just use any narrator that is available? Because that's what it seems like. Enjoyable. I enjoyed Rescue Me. The narration is good. I thought the end was very abrupt. Are you setting us up for a sequel? Needs more It was a good story, it just needs a full ending. I am so tired of the use your imagination as to what happens next endings.

David, Renewed Audiobook by Diana Copland

Title: David, Renewed Author: Diana Copland Narrator: Michael Pauley Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When interior designer David Snyder buys a beautiful century-old house in eastern Washington, he is reeling with heartbreak and looking for somewhere to put down roots. Unfortunately his new home comes with a laundry list of problems: electrical, plumbing, heating...things David knows nothing about. When his mother offers him the business card of a local handyman, David pictures an overweight, balding man in his fifties. But Jackson Henry couldn't be further from that stereotype. Dark-haired, muscular, and handsome, Jackson left a large construction firm in Seattle to take care of his sick mother. However, his hometown still has an active "good old boy" network, and finding employment in construction is almost impossible for an openly gay man. Determined to persevere, Jackson takes odd jobs as a handyman. He's exactly what David needs - in more ways than one. David isn't ready for his attraction to Jackson, not considering the way his last relationship ended. But as the two men get to know each other, it becomes clear that the heart often knows best, and it rewards those willing to listen. Members Reviews: Beautiful love story Great interaction with friends and family. Enjoyed the feeling of a real life setting with the background characters, plus neighbors. Really lovely book and an excellent performance! What a sweet, sexy and sentimental book! I just loved this so much! This is kind of a mutual hurt/comfort story about two guys whove had it a bit rough. Davids ex is really an asshole and he (later) really turns out to be more than just a bad break up. Jacksons family makes his life hard and makes him feel inadequate. Together, with the help of their wonderful mothers, the two find their place in life and love. I thought the romance was sweet, organic and sensual. The bit with Davids ex was a bit OTT but it also reminds us that this stuff can happen in real life and it pays to be safe. The stuff about the houses was interesting too. Having been a homeowner, I could relate to the never ending list of fixes and thought that having a new handyman boyfriend would be any homeowners secret fantasy! I loved Davids mom and that David was unapologetic about it and that Jackson appreciated it too. The solution that they find at the end is perfect and we get a lovely sense of the coming couples (Im talking about you Gil!) in future books. If you want a fairly low angst, high romance story this is for you! 4.5 of 5 stars Audio Michael Pauley is an excellent narrator. He has a great sense of timing and emotion and knows how to give the right emphasis on words and phrases to really draw a listener in. I liked the voices he selected for David and Jackson and felt the females and other secondary characters were excellent as well. This is a great way to enjoy this great story. 5 of 5 stars Overall 4.75 (rounded to 5) of 5 stars Amazing One of the few I couldn't put down. Enjoyed it from beggining to end. The writing and narration were fantastic. A beautiful, erotic story of love . I have to admit , I was a bit reluctant about picking up this audio book . Usually these "gay" romance books are very poorly written and have razor thin written characters . I was very pleasantly surprised to find this book completely engrossing.. The characters well thought out and the story well conceived. I found myself enraptured by the pure romance of this book.

Fated Love Audiobook by Radclyffe

Title: Fated Love Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 380 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: What do you do when your carefully planned life takes a wrong turn into hell? When Quinn Maguire, a dashing young trauma surgeon, unaccountably accepts a position as an ER physician, her new boss, Honor Blake, suspects that Quinn is hiding a dark secret. While the two declare an uneasy truce in an effort to work together, both struggle with mutual, and unexpected, attraction. Honor, however, has more than one reason to resist her growing feelings for the attractive newcomer - not the least of which is that her heart belongs to the woman whose wedding ring she wears. Amidst the chaos and drama of a busy emergency room, Quinn and Honor must contend not only with the fragile nature of life, but also with the mysteries of the heart and the irresistible forces of fate. Editorial Reviews: Paging Dr. Love? Fated Love tells the story of two beautiful women - both skilled doctors in a Philadelphia emergency room - who dont realize theyre falling in love with each other until theyre beyond a cure. Author Radclyffe shows off her gift for crafting believable characters and then throwing them into challenging situations in this smart medical romance. Her two heroines are dedicated, admirable characters who glimpse a future in each other that the losses in their pasts had made them think was impossible. The nuance and depth Abby Craden brings to these characters will keep them in your head long after the audiobook has ended. Members Reviews: Great characters! I found myself not wanting the book to end. The tenderness and sincerity of the exchanges between the strong female leads was touching and yet raw. The narrator did a great job of conveying the feel of the words. Repeater What made the experience of listening to Fated Love the most enjoyable? Great story & perfect narration. What did you like best about this story? I love the story and the depth of the characters. What does Abby Craden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She's my favorite narrator. She brings the characters to life. Any additional comments? I've listened 8 times so I guess it's my favorite book in the genre. Can't bring myself to take it off my phone yet! Sexy and romantic One of my favorites so far. The narration is extremely well done and very sensual. The story is passionate and hot but also amazingly sweet and full of emotion. Love it. Not Her Best This one isn't a big personal favorite of mine, the characters are too iconic, a little too good to be true. Still in those times when you're between relationships or recovering from the loss of a love, reading, hearing or watching about a love this deep is therapuetic to the heart. Honor and Quinn are the type of women that everyone would like to be loved by; especially Quinn. Arlie (I'm guessing at the spelling) is a sweet irresistible little girl who will steal your heart and Linda is the friend that all of us would like to have. This book isn't filled with the most realistic women in the world, but they're both likeable, and lovable (not always the same thing) and it's a nice way to pass a few hours. Hopeless Romantic Favorite First Radcylffe book and I wasnt disappointed! narrator was perfect! Great book & listen....story was addicting - hard to stop listening....wish there was a sequel!

When her business partner drags her out of hiding to attend the wedding of one of their successful client matches, she meets a dancer with a dark past and a penchant for secrecy who excites her in a way she hadn't thought possible. Samantha wonders if Lucinda Moss is the key to solving not one but two matches that have eluded Samantha since everything around her fell apart, or if she is destined to find love for everyone but herself. In a world where nothing is constant, Lucinda has learned to keep herself emotionally at arm's length and given up on the chance to find true happiness. Can the notorious Miss Match help her forget her troubled past? Members Reviews: Highly Recommend Sweet love story that unfolds beautifully. If you love romance, this book is for you. LOVE this story A nice little romance with two spunky women. The narration was good too. I would recommend the story to anyone looking for some light hearted entertainment. AWESOME!!! GREAT BOOK!!! I loved it!!! Closest version to a real lesbian relationship I have read in any book! Great story and the Narrator is pretty good too I really like this book and when it became available for audio I was all about it. The story itself is great and the chemistry of the characters in paper is very well read. in the audio version you can still feel it and it's always nice to just sit back and listen. the narrator's voices were pretty good but at times I felt Sam and Lucinda's voices were too similar I got confused. also, maybe it's just my speakers but I could here a little speaker feedback like the volume was too high when it was recordered. regardless, this is worth the but whether audio or written. Enjoyable read. I enjoyed the story, but thought the conflicts were a bit of a stretch. Narrator was just ok - she read the story, but all characters sounded the same.

Cooper Narrator: Robert Nieman Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 178 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: On the run from his old-blood werewolf family, Tim Dirus finds himself in Wolf's Paw, one of the last surviving refuges from the days when werewolves were hunted by humans and one of the last places Tim wants to be. Kept away from other wolves by his uncle, Tim knows almost nothing about his own kind except that alpha werewolves only want to control and dominate a scrawny wolf like him. Tim isn't in Wolf's Paw an hour before he draws the attention of Sheriff Nathaniel Neri, the alpha-est alpha in a town full of alphas. Powerful, intimidating, and the most beautiful wolf Tim has ever seen, Nathaniel makes Tim feel safe for reasons Tim doesn't understand. For five years he's lived on the run, in fear of his family and other wolves. Everything about Wolf's Paw is contrary to what he thought he knew, and he is terrified. Fearing his mate will run, Sheriff Nathaniel must calm his little wolf and show him he's more than a match for this big, bad alpha. Members Reviews: A sweet story I really enjoyed listening to this story...although at times I wanted to just smack some sense into Tim, aka Little wolf. Nathaniel was a dream and the cast of characters were awesome. The narration was great and the story was fantastical. Definitely recommend. Looking forward to reading more from R. Cooper I cannot recommend. Any additional comments? I can honestly say I did not enjoy one single part or moment of this story, either listening or reading. There is a gross miscommunication between the two main characters. Tim is actually Nathaniel's mate, which is known by Nathaniel and the whole town, but no one actually tells Tim. This goes on for 90% of the story, because everyone thinks Tim will eventually figure it out. Maddening doesn't even begin to describe it. The audio book for the story is eighteen hours and fifty-five minutes long. I tapped out with 12 hours to go. The narration was stilted, filled with pauses, and Robert Nieman reads with such a lulling tone and with so little enthusiasm I had to fight to stay awake. There were no discernible character voices used, which is a complaint I've made before about Nieman. Adding all of these points together caused me to DNF the audio at 35%. I just couldn't listen to a minute more. But I still hoped for something, anything, to validate the time I'd already put into this. I switched to the ebook from audio in order to try and finish the story, even though I hadn't enjoyed a moment of it until that point, because hope springs eternal. I thought maybe something would break and the story would get better for me. It didn't. I cannot recommend it. DNF I have to give this book a DNF. I chose the audiobook because Id enjoyed this series so far and I really like Robert Nieman as a narrator. I owned the book, but was always a bit daunted by its length given what I saw was a pretty cut and dried premise. Unfortunately, I could NOT get into this audiobook. I guess I have a pretty big bias and that is the call of the MATE. To me thats what makes shifter stories great. That huge, compelling, drive to find and Mate who is the other half of your soul. Thats not in here. From reading other reviews and skimming the end of the books I realize that its not til the last 10% of the book that Tim and Nathanial acknowledge that theyre mates. I gave up was near the 50% point when Nathanial essentially pushes Tim into bed with Albert.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 99 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: William Lyon's past forced him to become someone he isn't. Conflicted and unable to maintain the charade, he separates from his wife and takes a job as caretaker at a former mental hospital. Jelley's Valley State Insane Asylum was the largest mental hospital in California for well over a century, but it now stands empty. William thinks the decrepit institution is the perfect place to finish his dissertation and wait for his divorce to become final. In town, William meets Colby Anderson, who minds the local store and post office. Unlike William, Colby is cute, upbeat, and flamboyantly out. Although initially put off by Colby's mannerisms, William comes to value their new friendship, and even accepts Colby's offer to ease him into the world of gay sex. William's self-image begins to change when he discovers a tin box, hidden in an asylum wall since the 1940s. It contains letters secretly written by Bill, a patient who was sent to the asylum for being homosexual. The letters hit close to home, and William comes to care about Bill and his fate. With Colby's help, he hopes the words written 70 years ago will give him courage to be his true self. Members Reviews: Wow A poignantly told story blending the past atrocities perpetrated to "cure" homosexuality with a modern romance. Such a tale could have been gruesome but Kim created a wonderful, awful way of highlighting our less than savory past, while telling a sweet love story. Much more than a romance. A must read. There are many layers to this story. The almost delicate way that it is told makes it that much more powerful. Sometimes a simply told and not overly embellished story can really make you think. You have to buy this! I buy 3-4 books a week on Audible but I have never written a review until now. Both the story and narration were so moving. This book just hit me right in the heart! Buy it! Amazing! Heartbreaking but hopeful Would you consider the audio edition of The Tin Box to be better than the print version? The performance of this is so good that I would say he adds something above what you can get from just reading it. Which character as performed by K.C. Kelly was your favorite? I think he does Colby the best. Colby is such an animated character, and he captures the emotional range really well. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I definitely cried in this book. Any additional comments? It's been a long time since I've encountered such a beautiful and inspiring book. I wish there were more stars to give. I've read Kim Fielding before and enjoyed it, but this gives me a whole new appreciation for her writing. This story is both heartbreaking and hopeful. It's a story of injustice and cruelty, but it's also about personal growth, identity, compassion, and love. The story is immediately engaging. The characters are very real and relatable. It was such a pleasure getting to know William, Colby and Bill. The reading by K.C. Kelly is great, and the voices suit the characters perfectly. All in all I highly recommend this book, especially for those with an interest in LGBTQ social and historical issues. And don't forget the tissues! *I received a free copy of this audiobook to read for Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review.* Moving--Haunting--PERFECT! What made the experience of listening to The Tin Box the most enjoyable? I really enjoyed K.C.

Dr. Tory Kings pregnancy forces her to examine her personal needs and goals while her partner, Sheriff Reese Conlon, struggles with her escalating anxieties over conditions she cannot control. Twenty-year-old Brianna Parker makes a sacrifice for love that threatens not just her happiness, but her life, when she returns home as the newest member of the Sheriff's department. A life-threatening accident, a suspicious fire, and the appearance of more than one woman vying for Bris attentions makes one Provincetown summer a time of transformation as each woman learns the true meaning of love, friendship, and family. Members Reviews: Better second time around So I was a little harsh with the first book so I must redeem my self and say that I enjoyed this one much more and will continue to read the next one in the series ,I still don't love the overly breathy narrator but I got over her and was lost in the lives of the strong doctor and sexy sheriff , every available lull in this story is filled with sex so if that bothers you this is not for you ,but I have a feeling if your a Radclyffe fan it wont. Good drama and Radcliffe seance of humor is alive and well ,I'm falling for these characters and I'm looking forward to seeing where the their all heading . As Good As The First Where does Beyond the Breakwater rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Right at the top. The first book in the series, Safe Harbor was good and so I wasn't expecting the second to be as good but I'm happy to say that I was wrong. What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond the Breakwater? When Carr saw Bri dancing with Allie. I thought that Nicol Zanzarella captured the emotions of Bri and Caroline wonderfully. What about Nicol Zanzarellas performance did you like? Without a doubt, Allie Tremont. I love the southern accent. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. It was just a very good story that was well told. Any additional comments? This is the second of the Provincetown tales where Reese and Tory are trying to start a family while Reese is trying to catch an arsonist. We're introduced to Allie Tremont. A sexy and alluring cadet that has her sights set on Bri. Once again the narration is top notch and the sex was hot as ever. I fell in love with Allie and loved the way that Nicol Zanzarella captured her southern accent and personality. A great read as well as a great audio. Highly recommended. BEYOND THE BREAKWATER I read these novels years ago and now I am enjoying them again on Audible. It just doesn't get much better than this. Just Brilliant I don't know how she keeps amazing me? This is only book 2, and I'm still on this emotional rollercoaster. I can't wait continue on to book 3. This book was so well written, she was well balanced , a plot that was well developed. characters were well rounded and each had their own place in the story.

Title: Unthinkable Subtitle: Tate Pack Series, Book 1 Author: Vicktor Alexander Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-13 Publisher: The Rooster & The Pig Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 121 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Richard Tillson was happy with his life... well... sort of. He has spent the last few years of his life making a name for himself in the dance community, has a very expensive apartment in Manhattan and he knows he's gorgeous. So why is he so miserable? Enter Vernon Vet Tate. The older brother of Richard's best friend Amanda Lynn. The first time the two men meet it's when Vet is saving Richard's life from an oncoming vehicle. Moments later Vet is turning Richard's life upside down by telling him that his baby sister, who had passed weeks before, left her three newborn children to Richard, to share custody with Vet. Things wouldn't have been so bad for Vet if Richard wasn't also his mate, his very human mate. So how will Richard cope with becoming a father, giving up his sophisticated New York lifestyle for a ranch out in Wichita Falls, Texas, and finding out that not only do shape shifters exist, but he's the mate of the Alpha? Members Reviews: Short, Sexy and Steamy! Would you consider the audio edition of Unthinkable to be better than the print version? I've only listened to the story but I do believe that Crisden's performance made the content better. If youve listened to books by Vicktor Alexander before, how does this one compare? I haven't but I've listened to the narrator and I love him. In fact, I bought this book because it is narrated by Sean Crisden. What about Sean Crisdens performance did you like? Everything. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Short, Sexy and Steamy. Any additional comments? Richard Tillsons mundane life is turned upside down when his best friends brother shows up on his doorstep with a letter announcing that Richard has been named co-guardian of Amandas triplets. Richards best friend Amanda was killed in a hunting accident and for whatever reason, decided her three babies would be best left in the care of Richard and her brother Vernon. Richard teeters back and forth between accepting this, following through with Amandas wishes, and having a nervous breakdown. He doesnt know that Vernon, or Vet as everyone calls him, as well as Amanda and the triplets are Wolf Shifters. And he doesnt know that he is Vets mate. Sure, Richard is insanely attracted to Vet on an almost animalistic level, but shifters? Over the next 48 hours, Richard moves to Texas, learns the truth about Vets nature, becomes a father, a lover and a mate to Vet. Talking about moving fast! I actually quite liked this little short, sexy, shifter story. There was a level of disbelief when it came to certain aspects of the story that I usually turn my nose up on. But then there were elements of reality that kept the story grounded, so it balanced out in the end. I absolutely loved Vet and his larger than life presence, that good ole boy accent Sean Crisden gave him, and the way he cared for Richard and the triplets. This is a very sexual story, be warned it borders porn on paper, but the connection between Richard and Vet as I said was very animalistic, almost primal. So it was understandable that they were going at it on every flat surface they came in contact with. Narrated by the great Sean Crisden, need I say more? I think this would have been a 3 star read for me had I read the print version. Crisden gave the story so much color with his tone inflections and nuances.

Title: Sloe Ride Subtitle: Sinners, Book 4 Author: Rhys Ford Narrator: Tristan James Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 284 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sequel to Tequila Mockingbird Sinners series, book four It isn't easy being a Morgan, especially when dead bodies start piling up and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. Quinn Morgan never quite fit into the family mold. He dreamed of a life with books instead of badges and knowledge instead of law - and a life with Rafe Andrade, his older brothers' bad boy friend and the man who broke his very young heart. Rafe Andrade returned home to lick his wounds following his ejection from the band he helped form. A recovering drug addict, Rafe spends his time wallowing in guilt, until he finds himself faced with his original addiction, Quinn Morgan - the reason he fled the city in the first place. When Rafe hears the Sinners are looking for a bassist, it's a chance to redeem himself, but as a crazed murderer draws closer to Quinn, Rafe's willing to sacrifice everything - including himself - to keep his quixotic Morgan safe and sound. Members Reviews: Review in total for the series. So I've had the first book of the series for awhile but kept finding other things to read. I often find myself not finishing a series because I get bored. I started this series on Monday and finished all of them by Friday morning. I was mad that I had to work and sleep. Yes, it was that awesome. I really can't gush over Tristan James enough. He did an amazing job keeping all the characters distinct, even with all the different accents. I will definitely be following his work. As far as the stories, Rhys Ford made each one unforgettable. I know they will be on repeat for me. I generally don't like a lot of angst in the actual relationship of the main characters. I prefer my angst to come from outside forces that help bind the characters together and strengthen their bond. And that is really how all these books are. Though the sex scenes were plentiful and sizzling hot, the story and plot were the best part. I loved how all the books intertwined but really focused on each different relationship. The supporting characters were awesome. Especially Mum and Da. I now have 8 new book boyfriends and I really can't choose one over the other. I wish this series could continue forever. Murder, Mystery, Music and Mayhem! If you could sum up Sloe Ride in three words, what would they be? Intense, Passionate, Deadly. What did you like best about this story? How Tristan James brought Rhys Ford's words to life and gave readers a new version of the story when listening. Which scene was your favorite? I actually love the little openers for the chapters. Mickie and Damie crack me up! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Oh yeah, I was so engrossed that someone could have dropped a house on me and I wouldn't have noticed. Any additional comments? Where there is a Morgan, trouble is likely not far behind. Quinn Morgan is the odd man out when it comes to his very loud, very large Irish Catholic family. His father is a high ranking official with the police department, most of his siblings, of which there are many, are cops as well. There is the black sheep that became a fireman, teenage rebellion and the need to be different than his brothers and sisters. But Quinn, he has always had trouble trying to find his own place in this world. The one thing that kept him grounded, centered as a youth was Rafe Andrade.

Title: The Front Runner Author: Patricia Nell Warren Narrator: Christian Rummel Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: First published in 1974, The Front Runner raced to international acclaim - the first novel about gay love to become popular in the mainstream. In 1975, coach Harlan Brown is hiding from his past at an obscure New York college, after he was fired from Penn State University on suspicion of being gay. A tough, lonely ex-Marine of 39, Harlan has never allowed himself to love another man. Then Billy Sive, a brilliant young runner, shows up on his doorstep. He and his two comrades, Vince Matti and Jacques LaFont, were just thrown off a major team for admitting they are gay. Harlan knows that, with proper training, Billy could go to the '76 Olympics in Montreal. He agrees to coach the three boys under strict conditions that thwart Billy's growing attraction for his mature but compelling mentor. The lean, graceful front runner with gold-rim glasses sees directly into Harlan's heart. Billy's gentle and open acceptance of his sexuality makes Harlan afraid to confront either the pain of his past, or the challenges which lay in wait if their intimacy is exposed. But when Coach Brown finds himself falling in love with his most gifted athlete, he must combat his true feelings for Billy or risk the outrage of the entire sports world - and their only chance at Olympic gold. Members Reviews: A Surprisingly Great Love Story This is a great love story and the reason I say surprisingly is because of the time frame in which the book was written. Patricia Nell Warren's tale of Harlan and Billy is sweet and tantalizing and most certainly relatable. I will admit that some of the terminology used, such as 'The Gay' made me laugh a bit, but keeping in mind that this book was originally written in 1974, it is fairly accurate to the times, although I do not believe I have ever called myself 'A Gay'. :-) The narration by Christian Rummel is fantastic and certainly adds to the intensity of the story. The book allows the reader to embrace the best, suffer in the tragedy, and long for a better tomorrow. A must read! Great listen, tear jerking romance This was a great listen which I could not put down; even cried along the way. Narrator did a good job well worth a credit I really wish I liked this more First let me say the narrator of this book does a wonderful job. I am actually glad I listened to this book because I think I would have hated reading it. The narrator at least brought the characters to life and made a bad story and mediocre writing at least bearable. I should qualify my review by saying this book was written in 1975, so I really tried to keep my opinions in that context. That was a very volatile time in the gay rights movement. As an exposure to that time and the challenges that gay men had to face, I think the book does a great job. However, as a romance/love story I did not enjoy it. Not because the love story wasnt poignant and beautiful, but because of the direction the author chose to take it. It was like she took the reader on this wonderful ride only to pull the rug out from under us in the end. I realize the shock value of what she did, but I really dont think it was necessary and it seemed almost cruel. Also, in my opinion, the aftermath wasnt executed well enough to gain the acclaim this book seemed to have. Maybe in 1975 it was considered great art, but in 2013 I don't think it survives the test of time.

While I'm usually sick of gay romance novels that have D/s, not for the topic but because they are overdone to death in this genre, the topic is handled gently in this book. What's more, I liked it! Not everything has to be about leather and whips, and this book isn't. The relationship is portrayed very intensely with strong themes of addiction, promiscuity, and D/s, but I advise that if you read and don't hate the book, then reread! By the second read it will be better. By the third, you will love it. I've grown to love every word in this novel, but I agree, understand, and even warn that not everyone will feel the same. The reader, Max Tatch is brilliant by the way. He makes the characters 3 dimensional and gives perfect voice to them, conveying each man's dialogue and feelings in a hauntingly gorgeous way. A Great Romance... Crow and Fox provide an excellent love story in which one can get lost in. The story of Nick and Hollie are what one dreams real life could be like. 'You keep the ring and I'll keep you'...what a great line. Max Tatch, the narrator, adds realism and emotion to the characters and his soothing voice allows you to get lost in the imagination of the story. Can't say enough about this book...great all around!!! one real thing This book is one of my fave it has everything , and it's not just sex it has that little some thing that just put it over and narrator is one of the best i have heard so far .you can't go wrong with this one .I hope audible get some more This was an amazing story! So... I read the review for this book... and several people liked it. They said nice things and caught my interest... but they all seem to just like this book... so so... Nothing amazing... I don't understand why! This was one of the most refreshing stories I have listen to in a long long while. This is a m/m romance, but it is so much more than that... Nick and Holly are two awesome characters... Especially Holly! And yes, Holly is a guy, short for Hollister. I really like how the dom and sub thing was never really stated in the book, but it all seem to come naturally for both characters. Even before they started their smexing, the dom/sub thing was there. When Nick life began to go crazy, I simply loved it that it was Holly who got him back on track... when Holly was the f*ckup for sooooo long. And Holly's bosses!!! Loved it... And her shoes! WHAT...
