Members Reviews: Quick sappy enjoyable read Though the narrators voice was annoying, and the story, at times very cliche I enjoyed the black lesbian romance of it all. There were parts that were surprisingly engaging and tender. He love story of Mia and Danielle was cheesy in all the best ways. An easy romance novel listen. A good book but quite sad at times I found the narration in this book to be done very well. I enjoyed the main characters, but the story was sad and depressing as there was suicide and characters who struggle as a result of it. I listened while in my car for only short periods of time and I was okay with it. It might be quite emotional if you try to sit and listen to the whole story at once. Some may find the doctor and patient relationship on the taboo side. Overall I was satisfied with my time spent listening to this novel. Narrator is horrible. There was no emotion in the narrators voice. It made the story dull and less than mediocre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/What-You-Own-Audiobook/B00Q71KX1W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He found a sense of belonging there during one of the hardest times of his life. With the center facing a financial crisis, he'll do whatever it takes to keep the doors open - even soliciting fundraiser donations from Langley-Quartermaine Financial. Adam Langley has a plan: survive an internship at his father's company, finish college, get his trust fund, and find his former high school best friend Ryan and beg his forgiveness. In that order, because if Ryan does forgive him, Adam believes he'll finally find the courage to come out to his wealthy, bigoted father. Adam's carefully considered plan is shattered when Ryan appears at the office a full 10 months before Adam is ready, and Ryan is just as stunned. Against his better judgment, Adam gets involved with the fundraiser - and Ryan.

Members Reviews: A Quick, Satisfying Read! Any additional comments? Story: What You Own is both a friends-to-lovers and a second-chance story. In high school, Ryan and Adam were best friends, up until Ryan publicly came out as gay, and Adam's father pressured Adam to break it off. Little did Mr. Langley know, but Adam and Ryan were interested in more than just friendship. Soon after, the two were bashed in a parking lot, and once again Mr. Langley intervenes to keep the two apart. Now, three years later, the two meet again and the sparks start to fly. There's some drama involved, but nothing too heavy (not like Arthur's newest release, The Truth as He Knows It). Fans of Arthur will love this sweet romance, watching Ryan and Adam work things out and fall in love. There's ample chemistry, a solid friendship, and a good bit of sweetness involved, especially towards the end when Adam puts his heart on the line for Ryan! Narrator: This was actually my first time listening to a male/male romance. Michael Pauley did a wonderful job. He put emotions into the narration, rather than simply reading the words. His voice would speed up during times of high emotion, and deliberately slow down for other situations. His different voices were done well, and he even gave both boys slightly different voices when reading a flashback to their high school years. My only complaint is that sometimes I had a hard time differentiating between when the characters were speaking out loud and when they were thinking to themselves (when the two would occur back to back in a scene). Otherwise, Michael truly brought this story alive and I enjoyed every minute of it. pleasent surprise I liked the way this story centers on the two boys, who just on the verge of discovering them selfes and each other, becomes the victims of violence and lies and the story actually starts when they se each other serveral year later. So they have a lot of baggage to overcome if they are to become a couple. The story has a lot of flash backs from either MC and normaly im not a flashback fan. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Capsized-Audiobook/B01M1VHRYW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I listen to a lot of books and this one just had my attention the whole way through. Loved the writing style and the narrator. I hope to listen to more from this author and narrator. when u know .. u know love this cute little story. i was simple and to the point but still entertaining. Aweful The narration was rough, hard to hear like it was recorded cheaply, and sometimes a third voice would pop in to read one sentence. Tried through half of the book to get over this fact but it was impossible, eventually gave up. Don't recommend at all! What Colorful Language! So... My Senior year of high school, my high school literature teacher, who was once had been a college professor, handed me William Golding's _The Color of Words_. I did exactly what she predicted. I focused so hard on the people and their interactions, studying them, finding their rhythm, that I forgot to blink. That is to say, Words are powerful. They are often contradictory or at one at odds... truth, when you have the opportunity, "paint her body like a canvas,". There are hidden gyms in the Words. I hope you enjoy the Words as much as I did. Water logged Although the delivery was wooden and grating the story was reasonably entertaining . worth it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Smoke-and-Fire-Audiobook/B01IAGA7FI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Overall good listen. The narrator was also decent, but at times I felt there were no pauses for effect. The love story was layed out well. The overall message is what made the book good. I recommend it!! A few cliches short of five stars If it were not for all same 'ol romance novel go to elements. There is one of the lead characters who has overcome a terrible illness or accident. The other lead character must overcome social or psychological issues and both characters carry emotional scars and baggage from past love interests. Then there is of course the "oh, she's much too good for me, she deserves a woman without all this baggage that I carry. Granted this is a staple of most romance novels and if they'd been used once or twice then put in the background it wouldn't be much of a problem. However the author kept beating those two or three dead horses repeatedly, there are enough real issues in just about every relationship that romance authors should be able to come up with something other than the old misunderstanding, miscommunications breakup 80 percent through the book. This serves to provide them a resting point that allows the story to gear up for the climatic scene. On the other hand the rest of this story is a really good listen. Loved this book. Any additional comments? I loved Smoke and Fire. It holds your attention right from the first page. Excellent setting in an oil fire suppression company. I'm sure most of us know nothing of this industry. Add a smart woman business executive and a brave, good hearted fire fighter and sit back and enjoy the book. An Inclusive story I really like that this story is centered around body images that are less than perfect. So many of these romances have characters that have descriptions that lead you to believe they are "perfectly toned." Well, we're not all like that. For one reason or another, we are not. CUDOS to the author for being inclusive and covering the common fears associated with such a situation. Good story and nice job by the narrator. Sweet story, but What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Sound quality and narration. This sounded like it was a really cheap production with sometimes much hissing. I don't know if the narrator babbled on too fast or if the technicians edited all "silence" out between sentences, but this could have been much better. Who was your favorite character and why? Brady - obviously What didnt you like about Kathleen Wilkinss performance? Hard to follow, took a lot of getting used to. Her voice is nice and she speaks clear, it may be that it's all due to bad sound/recording. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? It made me feel good, overall. It was a sweet story. Any additional comments? Audible should check the quality of the sound of this production. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mine-Audiobook/B01EIMRT0Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Almost Great This is a very well written book, with almost all characters being both memorable and likable. It is unfortunate that the exception for most of the book was the second lead character Rachel Hart who up until the end of the book seems to be too much of a pain to put up with no matter how hot she might be. Her contempt for her father and total indifference to the death of his wife of 25 years paint her as a cold, bitter, heartless automaton. In the end she reveals more of what you can only hope is her true character. The grief group that Courtney begins attending has a couple of characters who do a good job of moving the story forward. Lisa helps bring Courtney forward and contributes to her recovery and Ted who isn't utilized as much as he could be, although the reason he isn't; isn't difficult to understand by the end of the story. Courtney's brother-in-law Marky (Mark) Manneti is another really good character and the connection he and Courtney share is sweet, though perhaps a bit too shallow. I had no problem giving this one 5 stars. Sad but great story What did you love best about Mine? Great narrator, wonderful plot. What did you like best about this story? I loved the charactors and their different personalities Which character as performed by Natalie Duke was your favorite? Rachel Who was the most memorable character of Mine and why? Rachel Any additional comments? The plot starts off sad but I like how it is different from most romance stories. Predictable This book is not worth the 4+ rating that appears on audible. Predictable plot as most lesbian based novels are these days. Hints of subplots never go anywhere which makes this book suffer. Don't waste your money and time. I loved this book. I loved Mine. I had already read it. But the Audio is great. Great story w/ Courtney and Rachael. Great job on the narration by Natalie Duke. Thanks to Audible for getting Georgia Beers into your collection. Mixed Opinion I had a hard time enjoying this book due to the narration... The constant swallowing sounds and the overall lack of feeling behind it left me wishing I had read the book myself. I would recommend not getting the audio version and perhaps it will be a more enjoyable story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bonded-Audiobook/B00XYWNIE6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Bonded was my submission for 2014's Love's Landscape Event. At the beginning of the event, a story letter is submitted from a reader, asking for a very specific story. This is the letter from Tonnya. Dear Author, My soul ached for command and love, and I was lost. Until I met them. We'd seen each other at different times, but it wasn't until the night I almost killed myself trying to lift more weight than I should that our worlds finally collided. What started out as lifting partners and movie marathons turned into weekend jaunts across the city and every free moment spent together, a tension building up between us that left me holding my breath.

Sincerely, Tonnya Members Reviews: 4 Bonded Stars MM MMM Romance Ahhh Chris breaks up with his long-time boyfriend Philip, made me sad poor Chris. He is kind of lost for a while not sure what to do or why they broke up. But if he looks deep down he sees he wasnt really happy in that relationship. Chris goes to the gym a lot to feel something other than sadness and he meets Greg and Liam. I enjoyed Liam and Gregs dynamic. And it was Liam who gets the ball rolling so to speak. Liams character intrigued me and I liked the way Chris and Liam were different from Greg and Liam but how they all work. It kinda sorta perfect! I am not a huge fan of the narration it was good just wasnt what I was expecting from the cover. I kind of felt like James Talbot has an older voice and I thought of these men as younger. *You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.* Strange Connections This story is short and while it has some drama is pretty light. We get a chance to meet Chris, then Greg, and finally Liam. We get to see how their relationship developed into the special triad it becomes. We also get an idea of Liam's troubled past. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Serenading-Stanley-Audiobook/B00NPB2MMU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A little too much This is a sweet, comfort read if you don't mind paranoid, insecure geek meets Greek god and just can't accept that he is worthy of attention. On the surface, I love the concept, but not so much in this execution. The best part of this book was the narrator, who is fabulous and really took what I thought was a mediocre story and brought it to a new level. He also took Arthur, a minor character, and stole the story with his interpretation of an overweight drag queen with a heart of gold. Stanley's insecurities became a bit much at about the 50% mark and Roger was just too good. So it was more like a Cinderfella fairy tale than any realistic read. It is fine for what it is. What Sweet Music They Make... Where does Serenading Stanley rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Way up there... What was one of the most memorable moments of Serenading Stanley? When they saved Sylvia. What does Tyler Stevens bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I didn't hear Arthur's voice in my head, but Tyler's rendition is perfect. He does a wonderful job telling this story. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Many of Stanley's experiences mirrored my own. Not all of them good. They took me back to some very vulnerable times that I would not want to repeat. I certainly laughed out loud but teared up some, too. Any additional comments? John Inman has quickly become one of my favorite authors and I hope that his entire catalog of stories become available through Audible. With good narrators of course. good start Would you consider the audio edition of Serenading Stanley to be better than the print version? have not read it so can't answer What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Roger and stanly is very interesting and the story of sylvia I wanted to know more and the relationship between her and pete needed more focus. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Fortunate-Blizzard-Audiobook/B01M2DC1Y3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And with good reason; he's been on the transplant-recipient list for too long now. When he learns just how numbered his days truly are, he resolves not to take them for granted. But he won't be unrealistic, either - which means romantic commitments are off the table. Marcus Roberts seems to have it all.

When the biggest snowstorm to hit Colorado in decades leaves Marc and Trevor stranded at the same hotel, a chance encounter and a night of passion lead to more than either of them expected.

Members Reviews: A beautifully broken story brought to life. What did you love best about A Fortunate Blizzard? The way that these two men fall for each other while trying to convince themselves they shouldn't. What did you like best about this story? Aside from the amazing job the Author did when writing it, I enjoyed reading a book about two grown men acting like grown men. Very little angst, lots of emotion and passion and even a bit of heart break. What about Nick J. Russos performance did you like? Ah-Mazing! He nailed both characters voices flawlessly. He has this bravado tone to his voice that I just love, it's like honey dripping from the vine. Who was the most memorable character of A Fortunate Blizzard and why? Trevor, hands down. The decision he had to make and the affect it had on him, it tore me up. Any additional comments? Tams e-book review November 2015 What if one night, one chance meeting could change your life? Would you take that leap of faith if you have already convinced yourself that none of it matters? That is exactly the choice Trevor Morrison has to make. Trapped at a local hotel during one of the worst Blizzards on record, Trevor meets Marc, and enigmatic Lawyer with mesmerizing green eyes. The attraction is mutual and immediate so they decide to enjoy each other for the night. But when the sun comes up, Marc finds himself wanting more than just the one night stand that was agreed upon. Trevor is adamant that it's not possible, but when he can't find a flight out and faces the possibility of spending Christmas alone, Marc jumps at the chance to take Trevor to his home and show him what it could be like if he would only say yes. I really enjoyed the strangers in the night aspect of the story and the chemistry between the characters. While there is a heaviness on Trevor's shoulders because he is facing the very real possibility that he won't find a donor in time, that he will finally succumb to kidney failure, Chase balanced that level of sadness with love and passion. Marc wants Trevor in his life, but more than that, he wants Trevor to live and he will stop at nothing to ensure that, even if he doesn't remain a part of Marc's life. A variety of emotions played out in the pages of this story. Angst, passion, sadness, determination and love. It was well written, well rounded and wonderfully conveyed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dragon-Slayer-Audiobook/B00KX90102 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice fantasy I really enjoyed listening to this book. I cared for Ingram and Mallory. I can't wait for the next book. The plot has a little bit of everything - family, betrayal, dragons and magic. Also the romance was very sweet. Great fantasy tale This is a repost of a review which was deleted by Audible due to some technical issues with the book. I really enjoyed this book. Paul Morey does a fabulous job. This story is good mm romance with a lot of adventure. There was basic world building, but enough to intrigue. However, the ending leads me to believe there is a sequel as major plot lines were unresolved. I hope so. I highly recommend listening to the audio version of this book. Loved it! Loved it, the story was amazing.

Talk about timing...I literally just re-read this story three days before it suddenly appeared in my Audible feed. Which meant I wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to download it...until I saw who is narrating: Greg Tremblay. Ding, ding, ding! Instant download! This short novella is entertainingly narrated by Greg Tremblay (naturally) who subtly brings out the nuances of this hurt/comfort story. This is one of Calmes' darker premise stories and I eat it up with a spoon every time. Leo is a lovable grump, and Charlie is obviously (to everyone but Leo) head over heels for Leo. ~~ "Ive been here, living in your world, for the past three years. Ive seen you mad and happy and hurt and Ive seen it all, but never once, in all that time, have I seen what you look like when youre in love. I wanna see that." ~~ My only complaint, which is always the same with Calmes' novellas - I WANT MORE! I really like Leo and Charlie and want more of their story. All in all the story is really enjoyable and Tremblay's narration is wonderful. Recommended! Short and Sweet Another great Calmes/Tremblay collaboration. This is a really sweet, hurt/comfort story about Charlie and Leo. Charlie had a traumatizing experience while working as a porn star (yeah that's right) which has come out. Leo is his boss and the object of his secret crush. Leo is the classic Calmes clueless alpha male that doesn't think he can have someone like Leo. Leo is the insecure twink that doesn't think someone like Leo would be interested in damaged goods. Throw in a stupid ex just for good measure and you have a sweet little romance. Of course Greg Tremblay continues to make it all believable. Only complaint, it was too short. Not all sunshine and roses, well told though. Would you listen to Any Closer again? Why? Yes, even if I did feel jipped at the end. Greg Tremblay's voice is mesmerizing. What did you like best about this story? When Charlie finally decides to go after what he knows is his. What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brought the characters to life with tones, inflections and subtle nuances. Who was the most memorable character of Any Closer and why? Charlie, you just want him and Leo to end up together from the start. Any additional comments? 4.5/5 stars... Charlie Ryder has been working for Leo Foster for four years. In the early days, Charlie was skittish, scared of his own shadow. The poor guy would flinch if Leo blinked, withdrew if confronted. Leo did not treat him with kid gloves though, explaining to Charlie he had to get a grip and deal with whatever it was that haunted him. It was that honesty and the push from Leo to come to terms with his demons that helped Charlie make a life for himself after what had happened to him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Short-Stay-Audiobook/B01LXRNYEI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With help from their friends, a wily poker player, a take-no-prisoners drag queen, and a smooth-talking casino owner, they face the truth that happiness is a state of mind, not a destination where they can book a stay. What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas - it will follow them all the way down the aisle. Members Reviews: Loved catching up with the guys! This is the fourth in a series, and really, its the much needed sequel to book 3. If you remember, from my review of book 3, it was a long book that left our MCs in a solid HEA but it wasnt as satisfying an HEA as our other heroes had gotten. Well, this is their satisfying happy ending. They are still, obviously, working through some of their sh*t, but for the most part theyre dedicated to their upcoming marriage. Baz is still insecure about how Eli will take on his family and Eli is worried about how he will take on Bazs family, too. But they DONT TALK TO EACH OTHER! That was the most frustrating thing. Even their friends (old and new) tell them over and over to sit the eff down and talk! But, they finally manage to figure things out, though I think a nice long talk would have done them wonders. Theres a lot of stuff that happens in Vegas that would really only happen in a much longer stretch of time but hey they are all filthy rich so I suppose a lot of it might have happened In any case, it ends up being pretty darn picture perfect and wonderful in a way that I wouldnt have expected it to be. The boys have some (for them) pretty tame sensual times, but its so very loving at this point. It was nice meeting a new throuple and Im wondering if theyll ever have their own story told they were pretty fascinating! (Update I just realized DOH that this is the throuple from Special Delivery! Now I know what Ill be reading next!) This has to be read in order, or at least as a sequel to book 3, but definitely its best read in order of the whole series. Fans of the series will love this and I can recommend it highly. Audio Iggy Toma has narrated all the books in this series and he does another fantastic job here. Hes so good at emotion and pacing and giving everyone a subtly different voice so that its always clear who is who without any over the top weird accents. I really liked his take on Randy! Highly recommended as a way to enjoy this book. 5 of 5 stars yes! an awesome compilation I couldn't believe that our guys were going to Vegas, and the surprises and characters waiting for them were an awesome tribute. I love this universe Heidi has created. And, as always, Iggy Toma is the perfect narrator for Heidis stories. Thank you!!!

Members Reviews: An Art of a Story What made the experience of listening to Legal Artistry the most enjoyable? A combination of a beautiful story and great narration. What did you like best about this story? I loved the combination of the lawsuit and the romance. What about John Solos performance did you like? Everything Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I sat on pins and needles to see how the case ended. Any additional comments? Andrew Grey wrote a great story about a young man that grew up with his grandmother. He was left the house and everything in the attic finding out that there was some valuable antiques and that he had a connection to a famous painting in Austria. I love the way Dieter and Gerald bond. I love client romances and this is one of the best I read in a long time. I loved all the twists and turns as we go along the way. I cannot wait to hear Artistic Appeal. Very enjoyable This is a lovely gently flowing story. At the beginning we get Dieter's background learning about his family and friends. Dieter is a gentleman brought up by his grandmother to be so. But he is also strong and it's this strength that comes through while they try to get the paintings back. Gerald is also strong. He's had to be considering his family, especially his father and older brother, who value success highly. Dieter and Gerald are attracted to each other from the beginning and Gerald sets out to woo Dieter. Everything is kept above board especially as Dieter is Gerald's client. Neither Dieter nor Gerald would like keeping a relationship secret or do anything underhanded. I love that Andrew Grey provides a direct romance. I know I am going to get a good story with him. I love how Andrew Grey occasionally brings in characters from other stories (from Bottled up series in this case) giving you a glimpse on how their lives are going. Jon Solo's narration is good. He kept the story flowing and brought out the personality of the characters, Dieter's sweet nature and Gerald's tenacity with the case. Very enjoyable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mummy-Dearest-Audiobook/B00NJ1FQUQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short and fun Fun is not an adjective that is generally used in describing a Josh Lanyon novel, but when your leads are drunk and being chased by a guy in a mummy costume, you have to use that very word: Fun. This is titled as book 1, but unfortunately so far Josh has not come out with a 2nd book (yet) I live in hope, and wait to see where Drew and Fraser's lives will lead. Fun mystery What made the experience of listening to Mummy Dearest the most enjoyable? The banter back and forth between Drew and Fraser. What was one of the most memorable moments of Mummy Dearest? Usually cool, calm and collect Drew getting Tipsy in a shit kicker bar on Cosmos. What about Sean Crisdens performance did you like? Everything! Who was the most memorable character of Mummy Dearest and why? Fraser. I love his genial attitude and the fact that he wears converse. Any additional comments? Drew Lawson is a professor hoping to make tenure by publishing a paper on his authentication of the mummy Princess Merneiths tomb. Hes travelled all the way Wyoming and pissed his long term boyfriend off in the process to examine this mummys tomb. Unfortunately the doctor in charge of the museum has double booked the princess and left town over the Halloween weekend. Drew is forced to work with an extravagant reality show host, Fraser Fortune, who takes charge of the museum to film an upcoming episode. The authentication of the mummy is just the tip of the iceberg for Drew and Fraser who wind up spending their down time in the quiet Wyoming town together chasing mummies, bar hopping and trying to figure out exactly who is in charge of the museum. There was a sort of Boris Karloff feel to this story. If you are a fun of the movie, then youll figure little things about this short story out pretty early on. But it was a lot of hysterical, creepy fun hearing Drew and Fraser skirting around town in beat up converse, chasing the peeping tom mummy, getting wasted in a hick bar, then making out to the wee hours of the morning. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Drama-Muscle-Audiobook/B06W9M1TM3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Repetitive everything An editor was sorely lacking. Also it better than the character PJ from the first book but the way the student talk is so frustrating. There is plenty of slang and jargon amount college students but most are well spoken, not using filler words to the point of being unintelligible and definitely able to shut it off when its serious time. But the worst is that so very many of the metaphors were televangelist centered, I enjoy the general theme of religious humor as metaphors but the word televangelist stands out too much to use that often. Poor handling of what was clearly sexual harassment of the female student too. Was I supposed to be seriously disappointed with the main character? Because I was, she was saying no, it was clear. Comedy, mystery, and romance all in one! What did you love best about Drama Muscle? I love the humor. What did you like best about this story? I liked the mystery but I also enjoyed when Noah's parents came to visit, and Noah's mom is always sending pictures to her friend and comparing them to her friend's gay son. It's hilarious. What about Chip Hurleys performance did you like? I Liked Chip's performance. I think he captured Nickey quite well though I imagined Noah and Martin more reversed in their speech. I think Chip did a good job narrating and adding humor where it fit in. Who was the most memorable character of Drama Muscle and why? Nickey. I love how Nickey is always trying to snoop around and solve a mystery. Any additional comments? Drama Muscle is book two In the Nickey and Noah Mysteries. The stories stand alone fairly well, but I think you would enjoy it better if you read them in order to get to know more about them. Drama Muscle is about Nickey and Noah stepping in to help stage the Muscle competition in Tree Meadow college where they work. Suddenly the students and teachers start dropping dead, and Nickey is back to trying to solve the mystery and clear his name as he is the one always finding the bodies. If you haven't read any of this series and love a good laugh and cozy mystery you should really pick this up. The story is chock full of great characters, humor and mystery plus the romance between Nicky and Noah. I highly recommend this book and series! Great mystery Narration: The narrator for Drama Muscle wasnt the same one from the first book, and I hadnt heard anything else from him before. However, I think he did a great job narrating. He really allowed the humor that the author writes with to come through in his narration. Story: I am a pretty big fan of gay mysteries or mysteries that drive a plot in m/m romance. As far as the mystery writing, I think this author did a great job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Five-Feet-or-Less-Audiobook/B01J8E7KZQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I wasn't expecting this!!! Five Feet or Less literally had me chocking back tears several times. It's a beautiful story about a girl who loses her parents at a young age and the use of her legs. She grew up in foster care and didn't seem to have any friends after the accident that put her in a wheelchair. She didn't know it, but she always did have two friends looking out for her. As an adult, she rarely left the house so she hardly ever met anyone, so no friends or relationships. She would talk to people through online gaming and through her tech job she did from home. On one of her rare occasions out of the house she bumps into a very rude woman at the coffee shop. Later that day she bumps into the same rude woman in a lesbian bar when she gets called out to fix a wireless issue. After talking with Sarah, the rude girl, they decide to swap info and meet up again. Sarah constantly brings Reese out of her comfort zone and out into the world. Slowly, Reese starts to discover what her two friends knew all along. She's gay. Very beautiful story I highly recommend. Hollie Jackson does an amazing job with the narration! Note: Bring tissues cause you're in for a ride Where does Five Feet or Less rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? If I were to pick a rank it would definitely be at no. 2, karaoke queen being no.1, But this one came close i'll tell you that. the emotions that it gave me were something that i couldn't explain. whenever I would read the book it never fails to make me bawling like a child. the character development was something else. and now to hear it, with such a talented narrator, I cried so much as I did with Karaoke Queen. What other book might you compare Five Feet or Less to and why? I don't think I can compare this book to another. each book has an element of uniqueness to it and by simply comparing two books to one another makes it seem more of a competition rather than simply enjoying the wonderful stories, the artists put down. this book is unique in it's own right, a hurt/comfort story, with something more in between. Which character as performed by Hollie Jackson was your favorite? In this book specifically I loved how she voiced Sara's Mom, Anne. I loved the deep and spunky voice Hollie had given her and the way she talked was amazing, especially the scene with the phone. Who was the most memorable character of Five Feet or Less and why? Reese of course, other than the fact that she is the main character. I loved the fact that she is strong and that strength helps her each day to continue on. I love that she can feel weak, because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE needs a break sometimes and to let others help them in that weakness, it gets tiring holding the weight of the world on your shoulders all the time, a little rest is not bad. Any additional comments? As I've said on the Headline, remember to bring tissues because this is one hell of a ride. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bittersweet-Audiobook/B002V5H9L0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Barr has drawn on women's diaries from the Old West to bring detail to this unusual romance. The result is an intriguing story, sensitive and authentic-sounding, and far different from what is usually considered a Western novel." (The Miami Herald) "The novel...is tender and gentle in its exploration of commitment between two women, especially in days when females were expected to live out their narrow lives doing exhausting work and obeying their husbands." (St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch) "A solid, unabashed piece of writing that glows with authenticity." (Minneapolis Star Tribune) Members Reviews: A Perfect Title for a Lovely Book As with all of Nevada Barr's work, she creates a world that one wants to live in for as long as possible. I've been a fan or her Anna Pigeon series for a long time and approached this book with a little trepidation, knowing that the format and style would be completely different. My concern was unwarranted. This is one of the loveliest books I've ever read. Indeed, there is discomfort and unpleasantness, but her characters are so believeable that you push through the pain to find redemption. These characters will live in my memory for a long time. Good, but not what I expected Overall I liked the content of the book. I REALLY wish the relationship between the two women was more detailed. I am a lesbian and found myself always hoping more passion would be revealed, but thought the time period may be partly responsible. It is fairly depressing, but hey, life back then wasn't a peach! :) I definitely recommend it and hope Audible adds more to their gay/lesbian list. bittersweet I started this audiobook while on vacation in Panama City. At first I thought it was a little slow and then as I settled in and gave it a chance........well, it has been a remarkable read. First of all this is set in a time of human unrest and the way people think is interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this 'read'. I know you laugh when I say 'read', but honestly as I sit and listen to these audio books I get much more out of them by listening than I ever did from actually "reading: them. I liked the book and I will probably give this author another chance also. Interesting but slow I really enjoy Nevada Barr's books, and enjoy historical fiction. I thought it was interesting to see how these women dealt with the pressures of the time, but felt it was a bit long. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Volatile-Range-Audiobook/B00JXO8LZ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance Where does A Volatile Range rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? If there is one thing Andrew Grey does well it is cowboys! When he adds in a broken marine you know you have a winner Mario was left behind when his last lover left for pastures with his work and a new man. Ever since he has been pining for what was and what still might be. Everyone one around him believes it is time he moved on and got over David but there hasnt been anyone to move on to. Gordon left the marines after losing his two best friends and his memory of how it happened. Down on his luck and in need of the money he lets himself get involved with a group of animal activists who send him to free Wally and Dakotas big cats. Mario catches Gordon in the act and after having his wounds doctored keeps him on the ranch for the night to talk to the Sheriff. Gordon quickly realises how misled he was by the group and that the animals on the ranch are well taken care for. Mario has a soft heart and when he discovers that Gordon has been living in his car he brings him back to the ranch and offers him a job. Wally is still furious about the previous nights activities and Gordon will have to work hard to earn his trust. That Mario and Gordon manage to get together whilst battling with PTSD, activists, major trust issues and an ex that turns up out of the blue is testament to their feelings for each other. I was pleased that once Mario made up his mind he was diving straight in and offered Gordon his support. He slowly got the man to trust him and relax. This turned out to be a couple that really were good for each other. Its not all plain sailing to get to their HEA. Gordon is missing memories from an important and devastating time in his life. When he ends up in a life or death situation and they start returning he just might be able to give the military the answers to their never ending questions. Narration Andrew McFerrin is easy to listen to and speaks very clearly. I did feel his narration was a little slow which in turn sometimes made it feel a little disjointed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Prairie-Dogs-Love-Song-Audiobook/B00OZELSO4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not my favorite Eli Easton but it was decent Maybe 2.5 stars for the story, 3.5 stars for the narration, averaging to 3 stars overall. Gah! I'm so bummed. My first Eli Easton story that I haven't gone gaga for. I guess it was bound to happen sometime. *pouts* I honestly think that this story tried to do too much in too short a span of time. Imagine a story successfully blending cowboys, friends-to-lovers theme, porn stars element, and coming out all in 95 pages. It's hard, right? And picture that story with minimal sex content and a holiday backdrop to boot. My head was spinning trying to keep up. I think my main problem is that though the story was fine, I didn't actually care about any of the characters. I though that the switch from friends to lovers was way too fast with too little buildup. I didn't get to know these guys as people and I didn't care much about them as a couple. I like more slow build, more character development. I feel like I got just bits and pieces of that instead of something more complete. As far as the narration goes, I think that Michael Stellman did a nice job. He didn't have a large range of voices but I liked his expressiveness and how he sounded age appropriate. I enjoyed listening to him and I would get another audiobook by him. Overall, an easy listen but not what I expected from this author. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Short, sweet, holiday story I read the ebook version several months ago and enjoyed it. But that was before I discovered Michael Stellman, so naturally I had to get the audio version as well. This is a short story. And even though Ben is a porn star when the story starts, thee are no explicit scenes either with other characters or with Joshua. They do have a steamy make out session once Joshua decides to see Ben in Las Vegas. The HEA ending was perfectly sweet and fluffy. Will likely be listening to this one again during the holidays or anytime I feel like listening to something short with a narrator I enjoy and a decent cast of characters. Michael Stellman did a great job narrating the story, even giving characters a Southern twang. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Dark-Farewell-Audiobook/B00M8C1ESK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narrator did a great job with the voices and dramatization. I appreciate historical writing that gives me a new perspective or insights into how things may have been in that time. This showed a bit of how things were for gay men and how serious illness was understood and misunderstood. For a relatively short book, it has a lot going on in it. Awesome I can listen/read The Dark Farewell all the time. Both, the author and the narrator, give the book such a beautiful noire feel and they drag me along with the story like a row boat on a calm lake :) Love the supernatural element to it, there is just enough of it there, but it makes such wonderful addition. A good short story Any additional comments? An interesting audio short/novella. Set just after WWI, very atmospheric, fascinating characters, unique storyline. It was all going well until the abrupt ending. WTH, Josh? See, this is why I hate most shorts. Yeah, I dreamed up my own conclusions, but I would have preferred you'd done it. And please don't use that narrator again. Great story, narration a bit quiet in places Another excellent audio version of one of Josh Lanyon's books, a mystery set in the 1920s. Setting and characterisation were beautifully realised and the relationship building between the principles was very well done. The narration was very good. Each character was distinguishable from the other by speech patterns, tone and pitch and I had no problem working out who was talking. BUT, sometimes the narrator's voice dipped too low and I missed what was said. Using Bluetooth headphones I don't want to have the sound on maximum just to hear the quiet bits. Apart from that, I'm very happy overall. If you like mysteries set with attention to historical detail and with engaging characters (whether you like them or not) then I recommend giving The Dark Farewell a go. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/One-True-Thing-Audiobook/B017Y8L5FO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lovely Sequel We met Dustin in book one hes Rues BFF and he had a crush on Rues boyfriend for a moment. When Rue and Erik decide to move to LA Dustin follows to help with baby Alice. Within days of moving to LA Dustin finds himself in lust with a beautiful stranger who later turns out to be Asher. Asher has a twin, Archer, who is slowly but surely ruining his life. The bulk of the story is not Asher and Dustins story, but rather Dustins story and resolution with his family and Asher and Archers story/conflict. Asher and Dustin are pretty much a match from the start and its sweet watching that unfold, but the angst comes from their families. Audio I think I enjoyed this book more as an Audiobook than in ebook format because the narrator, Rusty Topsfield (aka Aaron Pickering) did a great job with it. His Rue is fantastic and so is Asher. I thought Dusty was just swishy enough and Erik was done very well. I think that Id give this audiobook perfect marks except for these things: I thought Asher let Archer get away with too much, Dustin was a bit too soft for me, and Rusty had moments where his voice just lilted a bit too much. But overall, its a very enjoyable book, a lovely sequel where we get to catch up with Erik and Rue, and the audiobook is definitely the way to go! Well... This book was sweet in a sort of "Blood isn't always thicker than water" kind of way. There were times I got frustrated with Dusty and Ashton at times due to Dusty being such a chick at times. I like when the bottom is a bottom but I don't want the guy acting like such female to the point that it feels like a straight book. Rusty was great with his performance though. Ashton was an idiot for constantly letting his brother take advantage of him. I guess I didn't like the moments that were so boring to the point that I felt as if the author wanted to make the book longer. The extra was of no significance. If you like drawn out romance books then buy it. Like I said the book was good but it could have been much shorter. Patriece (Mom who loves Gay Romance) Loved it! I already loved Dusty from Book 1. This made me absolutely love him even more. He went through a lot in book 1 and for him to finally get what he deserved was amazing to watch. Asher is hot and so sweet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Shy-Audiobook/B00QXIBTHQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Shy Author: John Inman Narrator: Tommy O'Brien Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Dating is hard enough. Throw in an incontinent Chihuahua, an unrequited love affair, a severe case of social anxiety disorder, a dying father, and a man-eating hog, and it becomes darned near impossible. Still, it takes two to tango - and when Tom Morgan, a mild-mannered assistant bank manager with a debilitating case of shyness, meets Frank Wells, who is straight off the farm and even shyer than he is, sparks start flying. Just when Tom and Frank's burgeoning love affair is rolling along nicely, Frank must return to Indiana to oversee the farm while his father battles cancer. Tom tags along to help Frank out and finds himself slopping hogs and milking cows and wondering what the hell happened to his orderly citified existence. And what's with all the chickens? Tom hates chickens! With Frank's help, Tom grits his teeth and muddles through. Funny what a couple of guys can accomplish when they're crazy about each other. Not even 900 chickens can stand in the way of true love. Members Reviews: Overcoming shyness with good lovin'... on a farm I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. This book was fantastic. I am a sucker for anything funny, throw in a decent plot, and entertaining characters, and I'm hooked. Oh Tom and Frank, I don't know where to begin. I just think they both are utterly adorable. I can't recount the number of memorable moments that lightened my heart, or made me bust a gut. I LOVE FLAWED CHARACTERS. And these two were flawed beyond belief, but in cute, and meaningful ways. Another thing I loved about this book was the idea of comfort... we're always feeling our best when we're comforted by the familiar and such... So when someone who's very UNcomfortable stepping out of their comfort zone, is thrust into an environment WAY beyond his comfort zone, with a jerk named Stanley (I HATE that name. HA) it's bound for some hilarity. I have to say I wanted more. Thanks John. Great Story Narration was kinda bad. But the story itself was great. Something Wonderful at that. Fell in Love with Tom, Frank, and His Father. Don't 'Shy' Away From This One Would you listen to Shy again? Why? Yes. I plan to many times. It is a hilarious, but heartwarming story about two socially disfunctional people who find each other and fall in love under very stressful circumstances. It hit all of my emotional buttons. What did you like best about this story? The love story was great, Pedro is adorable, but the coup de grace was Stanley's comeuppance. Which character as performed by Tommy O'Brien was your favorite? Frank's dad, Joe. If you could rename Shy, what would you call it? I can't think of a better title at this time. Any additional comments? The narrator used just the right tones to express what each character was like and I hope we hear more from him. John Inman is great. Please publish all of his book in audio format. Best ending ever! This is my second time listening to this book and that is a rarity for me. I loved it so much, I made both my Mom and best friend listen. the characters are so amazing and I absolutely love the animals having their own tiny voices. Or in Samson's case, not so tiny. So much better than reading it myself. I love this book enough that I bought the audible version even after having read it twice on my kindle. Tommy O'Brian is an absolute genius at vocal inflections. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/His-for-the-Holidays-Audiobook/B004HCG7B8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His for the Holidays provides four short stories that centers around the holiday season. Each story was fresh and new with romance and a bit of adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed each story, but my favorite was Mistletoe at Midnight by LB Gregg. This is a romantic holiday themed story with very strong characters and extremely witty dialogue narrated fantastically by Jack LeFleur . That said, the rest of the stories; Nine Lights over Edinburgh, I Heard Him Exclaim, and Icecapade were equally entertaining and enjoyable. Each story elicited an emotional response, whether it be sadness, fear, tears, or happiness! A phenomenal value and a must have for your library. Adorable and Fun I don't normally enjoy short stories. They either don't give the characters time to develop or just as you're growing to love the characters the story is over. I'll make an exception for this collection, though. It was lighthearted, warm, and adorable. I genuinely enjoyed every story. It was really fun getting to listen to each as I decorated my house for Christmas. :) Great readers. Worth your money. HEATING UP THE HOLIDAYS Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. These stories are classy well-written stories. I have Icecapade (last story) and loved it. The others are just as good What other book might you compare His for the Holidays to and why? I would compare it to a series of books by Andrew Grey (Uncorked & Bottled Up). What about the narratorss performance did you like? Very good. Brought the different characters to life! If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? HEAT UP YOUR HOLIDAY Fantastic Short Stories I wasn't expecting four short stories, however each story was well written and the narrators were excellent. I am alway searching for my next adventure in the Fiction genre and this section fit the bill. Each story was very different, not your typical storyline that gets old fast. For me, it was refreshing without the dread feeling of "read that!" If you are looking for; male/male sexy romance short stories, start here and let the narrator take you into four romantic stories. Nice little collection Any additional comments? I listened to this because I really liked the Men Under the Mistletoe collection. I would recommend this one too, but I prefered the stories of that other collection. I dont think I have a particular favorite this time around, all 4 stories were decent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/When-One-Door-Opens-Audiobook/B00MEW2MCQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is part of the latter - not offensive, nice listen, worth the credit and entertaining. Romance with a touch of butter... and maple syrup This was one great love story. I wanted to hug Caleb and put it in my pocket to protect him forever. As for Logan, well, maybe the pocket was not exactly where I would put him *wink* Now, seriously, the story may have been a bit slow at times, but I think it suited its purpose. I love how we were served to every emotion whirling around inside the MC's heads. There are a few pleasant surprises along the way, although the outcome was kind of predictable (but I'm okay with that. I really liked my HEAs). I like Mr. K.C. Kelly's voice and performance. I agree with some of the other reviews that his voice is more fit to fantasy than this particular book (Brute was absolutely awesome). But that's okay, nobody does a stutter like he does... and that sold me out. Overall, I was very pleased with the plot and the MCs. Highly recommended for those who like odd pairings and enjoy a sweet, angsty Sunday reading. (less) Another Strong Performance by K.C. Kelly Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is a lovely story about second chances and two people who desperately need them. What was one of the most memorable moments of When One Door Opens? When Logan reconnects with his friend Michael What about K.C. Kellys performance did you like? Just outstanding! His voicing for Logan was pitch-perfect If you could rename When One Door Opens, what would you call it? I wouldn't change the title, it is very appropriate! A Different kind of Love story Would you consider the audio edition of When One Door Opens to be better than the print version? I haven't read it, but the story itself really captured me, so I can't imagine the print version would be any less worth your while. What did you like best about this story? It was unlike any other love story I've listened to. Both men have some serious baggage including psychosis and alcoholism, it's the need they have to be together that will keep them clean and sober. Have you listened to any of K.C. Kellys other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my fires and I really enjoyed it. If you could take any character from When One Door Opens out to dinner, who would it be and why? Logan of course! Tall, dark, brooding, handsome.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Prickly-by-Nature-Audiobook/B01JNCGBXU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The narration by Iggy Toma is wonderful! Any additional comments? I really liked the relationship development in this. Whereas in Prickly Business Avery and Dylan didn't communicate well at all (and that might be the understatement of the year), they definitely put forth more effort in this installment. Which went a long way to mollifying my ire over the last one. The mystery is well balanced with the romance, and character growth and introduction makes this seem like a series that could really get some legs. The narration by Iggy Toma is wonderful! Iggy has a terrific way with character voices, tone and intonation that makes listening a pleasure. This has a good blend of romance, mystery, suspense, some light angst and action, and, of course, good sexy times makes Prickly By Nature an entertaining listen. Recommended. Annoying by nature I listened to the first book so I thought I'd try Prickly By Nature. Instead of having the freshness of the first book, it was long and drawn out with the same issues repeated. Never hire a hedgehog as a private investigator or your case will proceed at hedgehog speed which is somewhat slower than a sloth. Love this series! We met Dylan and Avery in book one, theyd finally admitted they were mates and are willing to make a go of it. Meanwhile, Avery is hot on the case of a missing wolf shifter and its turning into a career. Dylan supports Avery, but hates the time hes away from home and the danger hes in. Meanwhile, people involved in the shifter case keep ending up dead and this makes Dylan all the more worried. But the tension from the case and the unexpected reception they receive at Averys brothers wedding, force them both to finally admit their love for one another. So on the one hand, things between them are getting better and better, but all the more dangerous, nonetheless. ** So many times the sequel is never as good as the original not so here! I loved this sequel so much! These shifters are regular guys who also shift into animals, so pack dynamics play a role but its not as overarching as it is with some other shifter stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Uncaged-Audiobook/B01KGIWEP4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great shifter story; great narration I really loved this very unique shifter story. But be warned, although it has a satisfying HEA, it is not a finished story; as there are many question left open. Nevertheless, I think it is a story worth listening to. In this AU, there is a ruling shifter royal family that hasn't been heard from for years. In their place they have left the "Elite" in charge to keep the shifters in line and make sure their existence is kept from the humans. The Elite seems pretty corrupt and have formed an underground MMA fight to the death circuit with shifters that have been "arrested" for violating shifter law. This is a pretty dark element of the story as the fighters lives are really sad, as some of them know they will eventually be killed for really minor infractions. Carlin is one of three top alphas that has survived all his fights. Lucas is a shifter rising in the ranks who dreams of being free from this torture; as he hates killing his opponents. The fighters realize they are mates and plan for Carlin to fight for the right for both of them to be free. However, there are forces at work that Lucas and Carlin don't know about that are conspiring to keep Lucas away from Calin and never plan to let him go; as he is unique among shifters. And we are off . . . I thought the world building in this story was really good, but since this is just the first story, not complete. It seems there is still a lot more to tell, such as where the heck is the royal family? Do they know what is happening in the shifter world? Who are Lucas' parents? I also really liked the pop culture references in the story, that was fun. Derrick McClain's performance is fantastic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Omega-Wildcat-Audiobook/B0189D0S74 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The characters are ones you can see in everyday life. A but clichéd but still loved. Instead of the misunderstood bad boy, you get the misunderstand sweet heart. A Man who holds a lot of pain in his heart for being privileged but without much love. He has qualities I loved. Then you get the lone wolf who ends up having a lot of pain he hides from his peers. He is misunderstood in his own way. They thing about it is that it ends therr. I love the characters but the story is something that needs work. It was very monotone in many parts. Sort of like walking up to a stranger and giving them a kiss, that moment of shock in between, that's this story. You don't understand why it was done but it was. I love Noah Harris and think that like all authors he has books that are not the best. This is one of them. Still stick with him because I promise you, you has many many good stories up his sleeves. While this was extremely bland story wise I think that the characters make it worth it to finish. Don't Bother. Lousy!!!! OK. If your reading because, you have nothing better. Plot and story all over the place. You never get to really know the characters. And the timeline is crazy, What high schooled gets a summer vacation that lasts six months. Beware of the reviews many are from readers, who got a free copy from the author. A Nice read I found this book to not be this author's best work. I found errors and I just did not like the story line so much. i really don't know where Omega Wildcat came from when this Omega (Seth) was a wimp. Ray (Alpha) was not any better in his role. I found their relationship rushed and not very connected emotionally for me. This story line was a bit disjointed and just not connected. First Seth sets out to find himself, then gets spooked by a storm and finds a cabin he saw in his dream. Then Ray allows him to follow him to the circle then almost gets him killed by sending him home with a killer wolf. I did not even find Seth and Ray as a sexy or steamy couple. The story line just did not fit the title. I am just a bit disappointed and hope the next book written is as great as his first 2 others. "I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review." Being ourselves. This is a Alpha and Omega story about being ourselves. Seth is a yoyng man who feels like he doesn't know who he is. All thru his life he pretends to be what everyone needed him to be. Ouray is a chief werewolf who feels guilty about what happened to his family. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Long-Way-Home-Audiobook/B01MQGGZ71 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kevin Quinn has psychic abilities he developed after a car accident that nearly took his life. He doesn't have any control over them, and has met with limited success when trying to use them to help different police agencies. However, when his brother-in-law calls the week before Christmas, Kevin is convinced to go home to Southern California to try to find the missing boys and/or their abductor/killer. Connor Dougal is the new detective assigned to shadow Kevin. But Connor has his own demons that he wrestles with nightly, including the fact that he's really gay. The romance between Kevin and Connor is one of immediately hitting it off and falling for each other - in other words: "insta-love". I loved that Connor, seeing what Kevin goes through, is determined to help him any way he can, even if that means stepping in front of him and shielding him. The mystery is super slow moving, and sometimes got caught up with an enormous cast of characters, which got a bit confusing at time while listening to the story. I was a bit disappointed in the glacial pacing of the mystery, and felt like Keith and Connor's romantic relationship moved at a bit too fast a pace. I wish there has been a middle ground for both, though, both were quite captivating and in the end are solved quite satisfactorily. J.F. Harding does a great job overall. Harding's tendency to sound like a crime show voice over narrator really works for this story, drawing the listener in and keeping their focus. I really liked his character voices, and he definitely had a lot to keep track of with this huge cast. It was an easy listen, with good pacing, and a compelling romance and mystery. Loved it! If you could sum up The Long Way Home in three words, what would they be? Mysterious, hot, suspenseful. What did you like best about this story? There was mystery, romance and hot sex. Have you listened to any of J.F. Hardings other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, he did an amazing job as a narrator. He is great with making the voices distinctive. If you could rename The Long Way Home, what would you call it? Under the Sea. Any additional comments? The storyline was great and the narration was amazing. Just awesome! Would you listen to The Long Way Home again? Why? I would listen to this again, just for the dialogue and amazing chemistry. I don't really go for crime books or suspense novels, what got me was the dynamic between the main characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Horse-Mistress-Book-4-Audiobook/B01JQFCZJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awwwwwwww. Great for a light summer smile. What made the experience of listening to Sam Dorsey and Gay Popcorn (DoubleEdition) the most enjoyable? I think the narrator - and I also just thought the entire thing was just kind of light and sweet. It's kind of like getting to have a gay teen get to be the lead in Clueless or Legally Blonde or one of those fun 'popcorn' flicks that are just a fun, relaxing, guilty pleasure. Who was your favorite character and why? Sam - he's endearing but totally clueless. I think that almost every gay guy wishes they'd had something fun like this to read when they were a teen - and certainly wished they'd been in the marvelous Hollywood dream-tastic alternate reality of having two hot high school guys making his head spin. Molly Ringwald gets the gay spin - it's fun. Which scene was your favorite? I think it's the end of the second book.... you totally kind of see what's going to end up happening - but when I read it I actually teared up a little bit. For everybody who's a romantic it just kind of makes you want so bad to have had that when you were Sam's age. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Sam needs to come out of his shell... But his birthdays are always a major blow out... and we don't mean the candles. Endearing teen angst with cute pop culture mashup "Endearing gay teen pop-culture mash up fun." I really thought this was so charming. If you have ever seen "Beautiful Thing" it's kind of an American spin on that feel... Taking mainstream teen romance and giving the gays a chance to share in that warm and fuzzy, teen-angst, growing pain fun. Using popular pop-culture movies as a kind of loose springboard the author throws our (delightfully clueless) hero, Sam, into a kind of John Hughes set of storylines that pay homage to the movies we loved growing up - but letting gay kids take the role of the hero. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Where-You-Lead-Audiobook/B015D503Z8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? 4.75 Stars Greg Tremblay knocks it out of the park again! There's just something about Mary Calmes' writing. This author manages to bring funny, sweet, heat and feels all together so brilliantly every time, and this time is no different. Considering how short this short novella is - it's amazing just how much is packed into it. It's got humor, hot sex, deep emotions, more humor and more hot sex. It's a fantastic time - BUY IT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Easter Egg for us nerds: For those of us who loved All Kinds of Tied Down - this is the story that's mentioned during the weekly poker game. Sugar Coated Fluffiness Mary Calmes can do no wrong it seems. I was going to pass on the book originally because it was so short. I'm glad I didn't it was a very sweet short story that had be laughing at random moments, and smiling so hard my cheeks hurt by the end. Fun Holiday story! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, because it was fast and fun and I really loved the way the narrator brought the characters to life. What was one of the most memorable moments of Where You Lead? The conversation at the table between Peter and Carver's mother. That man knew he was a goner, and he couldn't even be mad about it. What about Greg Tremblays performance did you like? Everything! He can bring any character to life with his voice. If you could take any character from Where You Lead out to dinner, who would it be and why? Carver's mother. That woman is full of piss and vinegar and she almost stole the show. Any additional comments? You ever have one of those guys clingy, possessive, but loving and adoring all at the same time? Most people dont like those character flaws in their significant other, but then, Carver Fleming isnt most people. From the day these two met and Peter showed Carver just how dominant and possessive he could be, in a dark alley no less, Carver has belonged to Peter; mind, body and soul. So when Carver tells Peter that he has to move back home to Kentucky to take care of his ailing mother, Peter is none too happy. Faced with mornings waking up without Carver lying next to him in bed, what choice will Peter make? What a fun story. I am always eager to dive into a Mary Calmes story, and this novella was no exception. Peter is this large, in charge, alpha male personality while Carver is perfectly happy letting his man take that control. They really do complement each other in every way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/All-I-Believe-Audiobook/B01F9HJHCK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Even better than reading it myself I have read all of Alexa's books and will continue to do so. This is only the second she's had made into an audio version and it's great. The story is sweet with a little angst and some tension and some sexy times. Nana keeps me laughing with her antics. Luca and Nico are great together. Such an awesome story. Outrageous Fun Alexa spins great tales with lots of love, even more laughs and plenty of intrigue... The whole series is great but this Italian adventure is, as the book says, "un tesoro" (a treasure). Brilliant! Such romance mixed with fun and tension and potential danger. I cannot wait for the rest of the series to be audible. A fun book Fun to read, better to listen to. I have read several, the stories are interesting and keep you drawn in, and the scenes w/ Nana are truly hysterical. Doubtful a woman of 80 could be so active, but one can hope. Another fantastic Greg Tremblay narration! Nico is taking a much needed break from law school with his crazy Nana and ends up meeting a boy he had met years ago, Luca. Luca is everything Nico could want in a man, but he lives in Italy and Nicos life is in California. Just when he thinks he could do anything to be with Luca, he finds out Luca is more than hed been pretending to be. Nico rushes back to the states to lick his wounds at what he perceives is another betrayal by a lover only to find that Lucas family has come back to cause trouble for the Dombrusos. Nico blames Luca, but gratefully accepts his help in defusing the situation when Luca flies in to help salvage their relationship. In the meantime we get lots of Nana antics including a marriage proposal for her! and more scenes with some of the other cousins/brothers/hustands. ** While I thought that Luca and Nicos relationship was a bit too easy they fell in love so quickly and deeply and Luca was so OTT in his devotion that it got a bit trying sometimes I loved this for the peeps we got into the other relationships. Seeing the Dombruso clan re-claimed by Dante and Vincent was great and watching them all band together was wonderful. I also enjoyed the back story on the two familys feud and how that all gets resolved. Im hoping well see more from that side of the feud in the future. 3.5 of 5 stars Audio: Greg Tremblay, as always, was a delight to listen to. He did his best to give the Italian accents his best shot and succeeded in giving all the emotion he could pour in to the highly charged romance. Id listen to Greg reading anything, but its wonderful when hes given this huge cast of characters and he manages to give them all a distinctive voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Potato-Surprise-Audiobook/B07887DRVV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Brimstone series: Potato Surprise: A Brimstone Prequel Hell for the Company: Brimstone One Fear of Frogs: Brimstone Two Shax's War: Brimstone Three Members Reviews: Read after Brimstone 1-4 ... even if prequel, invest in the M/C first ... but good book nonetheless ... See my review under the compilation of books 1-3 ... I read this book after reading all of the other 4 books in the Brimstone series. I actually liked this book very much ... was very surprised to find out about Julian as his history isn't revealed when we meet him in book 4. I was impressed by the turn the writer too and pleased with Shax's response ... not quite your average demon! I'd like to see more prequels, especially the actual event(s) that led to Shax and Verden escaping Hell ... it's mentioned so often and is the start of this book that expounding on it more would bring greater understanding to our main character and his best friend. I wouldn't suggest reading this book first as it filled in some blanks after reading books 1-4: might be a bit boring to start with when you're not already vested in the characters. But do read it at some point ... the Brimstone series is well worth the time. Fun space opera I've picked up a few stories and books by this author and I've enjoyed them. She always seems to have a quirky take on things, snarky characters and great pacing. I haven't read the Brimstone Series, so this seemed like a good place to start. This was a fun piece of space opera, especially loved the AI, and I was interested enough to look for the next book in the series. Good rollicking fun. space romp Demon gay prince, big mean sidekick and flirtatious ship just trying to make a living. Charming guest stars, the jewel colored cinnamon bun eating bugs. Four Stars Funny as the previous two. Lost interest Lost interest never finished. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-the-Flesh-Audiobook/B01HFGYAOI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? Well, folks, I'm in the minority again with this one. I disliked the story and the only reason I kept going with it was because Tristan James does a good job with the narration. Cristian Flesh is openly gay and at twenty-five is one of the youngest to ever make detective. Cristian prefers to live by a strict set of rules that he's set up for himself so as to never get too attached or emotional over anyone, and he is very active sexually, having oral and anal sex with multiple partners as often as possible. He also finds it nearly impossible to be alone, sometimes lasting less than an hour alone before needing to seek someone out for sex. When televangelist, Joseph Pryor, is stabbed nearly to death Cristian and his partner, Lex, are assigned to the case and it creates a snowball effect of connected events that eventually get Cristian framed for a related murder. Eventually his partner Lex hires lawyer Colby Maddox to save Cristian and the two work together to get Cristian free. Once he's out from behind the charges, he continues to investigate the other mysteries that mount up until he finally gets all the answers. I honestly cannot remember reading a story where a character who is supposed to be so smart and capable is so egregiously stupid and short-sighted in his actions. Cristian misses obvious clues, ignores evidence, at one point refuses to hire a capable defense attorney instead initially going with a Public Defender because "he's innocent", screws around at every opportunity, including having sex with a suspect, regardless of any consequences. But then Cristian meets Colby and everything changes. Colby is rich, handsome and hung. So, of course, Cristian begins breaking all his carefully crafted rules once they begin having sex. Unfortunately, Colby is also deeply closeted with no intention of coming out any time soon, even for Cristian. And there are still mysteries to solve. It all just didn't add up for me. I didn't like Cristian's decisions and actions, some being so over the top stupid it had me literally pulling my hair at times in frustration. I got really tired, really quickly of all the completely unnecessary sex in this story. There is just so much sex in this story...to the point it frankly got repetitive and boring for me to keep hearing. I did like how it transitions from straight mystery to mystery with some romance as the story progresses and Colby is introduced, but found the writing style just didn't work for me as a whole. I didn't buy into Cristian's reasons for his behavior, and explanations came too little too late for me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hells-Belle-Audiobook/B00TYQN2PG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I liked it! Demons aren't usually my thing, but I saw this recommended on facebook and gave it a try. I'm glad I did. I was more than surprised that I actually liked it. The characters are well developed and the story very creative. It's not as dark as the title would insinuate. The main character pokes fun at herself a bit, and is sometimes a reluctant heroine. I also was doubly surprised when I actually met the author, who is legally blind, at a conference in New Orleans and she gave one of the most touching award-acceptance speeches I've ever heard. After hearing her speak off the cuff so eloquently, it was clear to me how she could write so effectively for audio. I'll look forward to reading/listening to more from her. Not all that original but still great fun. Any additional comments? A lot of LGBT books have a very thin veneer of a story which is only there to provide a frame for the sexy times. Not so with this book. It's a proper LGBT book and a proper Urban Fantasy. Get to know a real southern bell The narrator's southern accent fits this novel perfectly. The main character sets out to solve a mystery, but discovers things also about herself and her past. She is intriguing and amusing. This book is a good time, with action and romance in all the right places. An Almost Lesbian Romance novel, w supernatural Would you consider the audio edition of Hell's Belle to be better than the print version? I wouldn't know I didn't read the book, thank God- I would of throw the book across the room in frustration in many parts. It wasn't one of my favorites. I was sadly disappointment in the book for several reasons. What other book might you compare Hell's Belle to and why? The Dante Valentine books, (Sorry straight fiction) The Well of Loneliness by Radcliffe Hall in how reluctant the lead is in becoming a lesbian in the story. It was like the relationship was doomed from the start just by her attitude. What about Carly Robinss performance did you like? Her South Bell infection was perfect for a south bell, Not sure it was needed in this story. Her infection was perfect also, her dramatic pauses all came right on time. No her reading of the book was very good, If I were to flaw the book it would be the writing. (OK If you have guessed I didn't like the book) But it was an over OK book with over OK plot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/I-Spy-a-Psychic-Eye-Audiobook/B077VRNRR8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

All systems are go...until he learns his buttoned-up office nemesis is coming along for the ride. Tristan Jones isn't really the gamer type, but he knows the back end of the video game business inside out. Together he and Ravi will give an awesome presentation. If they survive the cross-country trip first. When they're tossed together in close quarters, Ravi's shocked to see Tristan's sexy softer side emerge from such a conservative shell.

Members Reviews: Sweet I like how simple and sweet the story is. It's a nice change of pace. I love this series so much! (This can be a standalone, but book one was awesome so read it first!) Ravi and Tristan are two new employees at the game company where Adrian (from book one) works. Ravi is an artist, self confident, colorful, suave, funny, out and proud and an extrovert. Tristan is the PR/Business major, organized, anal retentive, quiet, nervous, in the closet and introverted. When they first meet, the sparks start immediately. A total case of opposites attract. But neither wants an office romance or any romance at all so its hands (and minds) off. Fate, of course, has a different plan for these guys, and they end up not only working together on a project, but being responsible for driving it up to Seattle for a convention. The two are obviously attracted to one another, but there are a world of hurdles keeping them from acting on that attraction: Tristans family, Ravis family, both of their past dating histories and spreadsheets? ** I adored book one (see review here) and it was great to see a couple glimpses of Noah and Adrian again, but you definitely dont have to read book one to appreciate this story. Tristan is an amazingly lovable character and he absolutely made me fall for this book! Hes so earnest and sweet and tries SOOOO hard to do the right thing ALL THE TIME. He absolutely needs someone like Ravi to shake things up and bring some color into his life. More importantly, he needs Ravi to show him how standing up for yourself is the right thing to do even in the face of your family. Ravi, on the surface, seems like he has it all together, but hes just as full of insecurities as Tristan, they simply manifest differently. Tristan is just as good for Ravi as the reverse. I loved the anchoring presence and strength he provided and how well the two complemented one another especially in the face of family drama. The smexy times were super hot, but definitely didnt overwhelm the story. I loved the gaming time nothing like a sucker punch to make you reconsider your assumptions about a person! and I hope we see Josiah in a story of his own in the near future! I read through this in one sitting, totally captivated by page one and absolutely satisfied by the ending. Highly recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Glitch-Audiobook/B06VVFBJ8B Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Loved it! This is book 2 in the Fixit Adventures. I highly recommend book 1 and suggest you listen to that before this one. This book focuses on Fixit's friend, Glitch. Glitch is artificially intelligent robot that has become self aware. The government issues a recall of his unit, more specifically just him, to see what makes him self aware. It's up to Fixit and Vashon to save him! This book asks a great question. What constitutes life? Can a machine really be "alive"? I hope to see more in this series. great story by Erik Schubach and a great narration by Hollie Jackson! She is the perfect narrator for Erik's books! ASIMOV CHIP SELF AWARENESS This was a pleasant story, with a humble character, which asks some big questions. It is all about life and what constitutes life. It is under the Gay and Lesbian category, but it should also be in Sci-Fi. The main character has a relationship with another woman, but that part of the book is so tame, as to not even mention. Her saying we slept together is about as far as the sex part goes. While I liked Jackson in book one, I did not care for her in this reading. She read fast and without much feeling. For instance she had one line, in which she says, "I liked her black hair". It should have been read with some feeling, but they way it was read seemed awkward, as if she did not know why she was saying this. great fun a truly professional narrator, skillfully acting out the many parts of good content. not groung-breaking scifi but a well crafted story with a great delivery. i really am enjoying the fixit adventures and hope the are many more. this author/narrator team has me filling up my wish list ! awesome sequel Erik Schubach has written another awesome short story the characters and story will keep you captivated for the hole book also Hollie jackson always brings the characters to life like no one else https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Elis-Reluctant-Mate-Audiobook/B017T9ZB44 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very hot, very sweet, and very nicely narrated Mac (James) and Jez (Jeremy) are two broke friends/roommates. Stuck for entertainment they stumble into a new way to pass the time. Jez has experimented with other boys while in the all boys prep academy before university, but Mac has only ever identified as straight. So when the two of them find themselves bored, a little drunk and a little hot after watching an episode of Game of Thrones its Jez who suggests they find some porn to work the tension off. At first, the rule was no touching, but a bit of watching. Since that worked so well Over time things progress from watching to touching, to sucking to you get the idea. Interestingly, its the kissing and the cuddling that make each of them wonder am I gay/bi. It isnt until they are outed that they have to face facts and admit that this might just be something more than they bargained for. ** The smexy times are really, really hot and the slow build to the love affair is rewarding and fulfilling. My only wish would be for more time in Macs head somehow because I didnt feel like I really got to understand his motivations very well. Jez was so clear but Mac more of a mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this and give it 4.5 of 5 stars Audio Id really enjoyed Mark Steadmans work on Lovers Leap and so I was excited to see how hed do here. Well he was great! I loved his version of Mac solid, steady and he does the British humor so well nice dry delivery and all that. I really like his voice and found this amazingly easy to listen to and thought it really brought the story to life. Highly recommended! Narration 5 of 5 stars Overall 5 of 5 stars Great book by great author Another hit by Jay Northcote! I absolutely loved this story from start to finish. Two men who didn't realize they were attracted to other men, but figure it out together was a nice plot. I loved the way they handled the ups and downs and awkward moments. While this rang a bit like 'gay for you' it didn't at the same time. I really loved the way it all worked together. It was a great read that was sweet and sexy all at the same time. I loved the secondary characters as they only added to the story and make it just that much better. The narrator did a good job with the story, except I specifically remember in one sexy scene he started reading it too fast as if it was a bomb going to go off instead of a hot and heavy scene. I received a free copy of this book to read for Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review. Pleasant surprise. Quite enjoyable tale I was immediately and pleasantly surprised by the story. I, too, was expecting hot sex but instead got a sweet and perfectly paced love story. Its a classic trope, and a fantasy of countless gay men, to jack off with a buddy and have it escalate. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hunting-the-Witch-Audiobook/B00DY9UH7K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dark and overcast I thought this book was NOT quite as good as some of Hart's writings, due to the fact....in my opinion there was not as much action in it as there was talking. I thought there could have been more going on, than there was. I did like the characters in the story. Cordelia was her usual flamboyant self, and she's one of my favorites.. I thought the book had a rather "dark overcast"' to it. Not the usual bright overtones Hart writes with... I have now decided I have read enough of these Separate and apart from the fact that I don't enjoy the personal life of Jane Lawless and a new partner in each one, I do not enjoy the graphic violence either. a success on every level -- The books of Ellen Hart, especially those featuring restaurateur Jane Lawless, as does this one, are like a rich, multi-layered torte. Each layer has its own variety of satisfaction embedded in it. This does not mean that I think all her books are alike. Oh, no! Nothing could be further from the truth. Well, there is one common thread in all of them: gays and lesbians are treated like ordinary, normal people. Which, of course, they are. We get to know them, and love them and laugh with them, in all their human foibles, even as we learn more about ourselves in the process, and discover the ultimate secret: how much alike we all are. In the previous book, Jane was severely injured, and needs a lengthy recuperation period to regain her strength and stability. A former lover, Dr. Julia Martinson, wants back in Jane's life, and suggests a stay at her secluded cabin--a non-rustic year-around home, north of the Twin Cities. In spite of some little niggles of her own, and bigger ones from Cordelia (Jane's long-time best friend), Jane agrees to the rest period. At the same time, an enterprising young woman, Patricia Kastner, has launched a campaign to turn an old downtown hotel into a Senior Living complex. With the help of a group of local philanthropists, she is on the verge of locking up the financing when one of the group is found dead in the empty hotel, after a meeting with the architect. Patricia, who is hoping to bring Jane into the project to supervise the food service, is also interested in becoming more than just a friend to Jane, and asks her to please investigate the death. Very much a novel of today's world, mirroring the headlines in tomorrow's paper, Ms. Hart manages to blend her characters, her settings and her plot into a very believable, totally enthralling novel. This short review cannot begin to do justice to such a multi-textured book. Read it for yourself, and enjoy. You won't soon forget this one. Hunting the Witch Author Ellen Hart has been writing for several years and her work shows steady improvement. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Eidolon-Audiobook/B00L3HL76K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Worthwhile If you are reading the whole series. If not, I'm not sure it's satisfying enough. I like the love affair. I'm rooting for these two crazy kids...we'll see where the next book takes us. Too Short Story Any additional comments? I loved seeing how Griff wanted to have a very special evening setup for Ival but things didn't go quite like planned. I just wish they would see that neither has to prove anything to each other and that they truly love each other. The story was way too short, would have liked a little bit more but overall it was a great short story.

After a year of a seemingly happily-ever-after, Troy Babilonia throws a curve ball that smacks Larson Blackburn right in the head. When Troy's debut novel, Bridge to Lonely, threatens to overshadow Larson's own success, inviting a past shadow into the light of their present, the two alphas must learn to adjust. Bridge to Lonely has garnered an unexpected success both in the literary world and in the film industry, forcing Larson to accept that he is not the only successful author in the building. But as Troy's old flame decides to make an appearance, the two alphas are forced to test the strength of their love. Let the battle of the egos recommence, where sarcasm is the preferred weapon and the testosterone levels go beyond the boiling point. Because Black Balled just wasn't enough...Smith & LeNoir bring you Hard Edit. A M/M romance with adult content. Members Reviews: Fun sequel even for new listeners This is the continuing story of Troy and Larson, who got together in the previous book, Black Balled. This story begins with Troy, whose day job is a snarky book critic, taking time off to promote his first indie book. As it becomes a best seller, it helps create havoc in the lives of the heroes because it introduces a flame from the past and complications due to assumptions and miscommunication. I havent read the first book, but the audio sample of Troys column was so bitingly funny I knew I had to read this. The story is told in alternating points of view from each hero, and each man has a distinctive voice. As there are two authors for this work, it makes me wonder if one author did all of one character so that they just meshed it together for the whole. There is a lot of sex in this story. Ive read a decent amount of MM fic before, but the sex happens often and inventively. For the audio listeners, you may want to listen with headphones unless youre a fan of voyeurism. (If you are, then theres a pleasant surprise for you in the book!) The story is paced well, and thankfully it doesnt stay mired in the topic of Troys best-selling book or the misunderstandings between lovers. A book that tries to drag out that old trope will not keep my attention because I cant get behind characters that would be that idiotic. Thankfully, Troys across the hall neighbor Ida talks some sense into the guys. I was listening to the audio (with headphones!) at work, and Larson has some of the zingiest lines. They are both funny guys, but Larsons mortification in taking his neighbors dog to the dog park made me truly laugh out loud. I appreciate good humor in a story, but it is rare for me to actually laugh at something. Both male leads consider themselves alphas, and they refer to themselves as such. I found this boorish. If you have to tell me you are, youre probably not. Ill grant that they are opinionated and want their way, but I could have done without the Im so alpha clunky writing bits. For the narration itself, the narrator did a great job keeping each voice distinct. Troy always sounded like the audio version of a swagger, but that seemed appropriate to the character. He also made it sound like the characters were in the story enjoying it. That made it easier as a listener. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Between-Sinners-and-Saints-Audiobook/B018RG11Y2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: great story, good narration Levi is a Mormon bartender who literally fucks any man willing and never goes back for seconds. Hes a surfer and when his back starts to hurt he begins to see a massage therapist in the hopes of alleviating the pain. He doesnt count on the sweet, shy, funny man who helps him with his back and later, his heart. Jaime has a tragic past involving sexual abuse. He locks himself away and wont allow anyone in, but when the outgoing Levi storms into his life he cant say no, especially when its Levi and his bed that make him feel the safest hes ever felt. In addition to navigating this sometimes awkward and painful relationship, Levi and Jaime have their family demons to overcome. Both serving as a wonderful sounding board for the other on the path to healing. ** Wow. This is another great book by Marie Sexton. Id avoided it even though Im a big fan because of the religion and the pain surrounding these guys. I have to admit that I wanted to strangle Levis family. I never got them. They made some great strides sure but they were so stubborn and ridiculous, I cant believe they thought that offering Levi chastity was a viable option. I loved that Jaime was the one who helped Levi heal with his family. His desire for the closeness they shared helped Levi to get past his own stubbornness and I think, vice versa for his family. The sexual abuse part was fairly well handled, my only issue is that I think a professional counselor really would have helped Jaime get through his issues in a better way and couples therapy would have done them wonders. Audiobook For whatever reason, listening to this was a bit easier than reading it and I really enjoyed John Solos narration. He doesnt go over the top in fact no one even has southern accents as youd expect but he does a nice job of bringing the story to life. I highly recommend this to people who have an interest in the Mormon lifestyle the author clearly did her research and she manages to describe them without villainizing them. Its a moving love story and very well done. Good narration; okay story Any additional comments? I thought John Solo did a really good job with the narration - conveying the situations presented and narrating the different character voices. I enjoyed the narration and wouldn't mind picking up other stories narrated by him. What I liked most: ~ I loved this is a hurt/comfort story that deals with some really heavy subject matters. ~ I loved the story is told from both Levi and Jamie's POV. ~ I loved Jamie and the way Sexton handles Jamie's past trauma, the aftermath, and, ultimately, his healing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Forging-the-Future-Audiobook/B016CD3B6I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A final? chapter to the Change of Heart series I so far have listened to all the previous books, they are enjoyable m/m romances with a dash of action and modern fantasy (of sorts) thrown in which is a good mix on its own. I always liked weres and gay werepanthers were a must read / listen for someone who is fascinated by big cats. First of all, I would not recommend starting with this volume as the characters and history will be rather puzzling without any prior knowledge. Thus, to the book from the standpoint of someone knowing the others (and if you don't, do try Change of Heart, it is a fun listen!): The story picks up five years after Crucible of Fate, so be prepared for quite a few things having happened in the meantime. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Heart-of-the-Race-Audiobook/B010TCEIN8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

No reinvention of the wheel, but entertaining nonetheless. SPOILERS I actually had a hard time with this story. I just could not get passed the way Brian strung along the guy he was seeing by not being completely upfront about how he (Brian) felt for his best friend Varro. It was borderline cruel every time the poor guy asked if he should stop trying and move on since Brian was clearly showing signs of his love for Varro, but Brian would give the poor guy a tiny piece of hope that he wasn't planning on anything romantic with Varro. I'm glad the guy told Brian exactly how he was acting (like a balancing 'maybe I will, maybe I won't) towards him and Varro. Anyway, I couldn't enjoy the blossoming relationship of Varro and Brian because he truly did toy with that guys heart and emotions. I ended up disliking Brian completely. The race is on. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Of course, it's Greg Tremblay! What other book might you compare Heart of the Race to and why? The Mangrove stories by Mary Calmes. Same author, narrator and type of stories. Have you listened to any of Greg Tremblays other performances before? How does this one compare? Many, he's fantastic. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The race is on. Any additional comments? Brian Christie and Varro Dacien have been best friends since the day Brian watched Varro launch a homemade contraption off his roof and subsequently wind up in the hospital. That day set the stage for their lives moving forward. Varro is the daredevil and Brian is his conscious. Best friends and foster brothers, the two were inseparable until Brian realized he was in love with Varro. While Brian tried to put distance between them, Varro continued to pull Brian closer all while tearing his heart in two with constant trysts with random women and groupies. When Brian finally has enough and completely pulls away, both men are left in stasis, not really moving on and constantly thinking about each other, both too damn stubborn to do anything about it. There is nothing like a little competition to make a man admit his feelings, in abundance. Calmes is the queen of sexy short stores, and Greg Tremblay is her court jester. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Love-on-Location-Audiobook/B01M19IPLM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I believe I read it in an anthology previously and liked it, but the narration really increased my enjoyment. I'm going to sound like a broken record, but Joel Leslie's narration was really great. The range of his accents is amazing. 4 stars for this short, but sweet audio! Really sweet and very British Theo and Eddie are both (inexplicably) in the closet when they meet but they share an instantaneous attraction. Theo is an up and coming actor and Eddie is a small town gardener, so, obviously, they have nothing in common and can never hope to find long term happiness, but in the short-term definitely! As luck and love will have it, they find themselves in love and only some clever thinking on Eddies part will show them that they can have love and happiness and remain true to themselves. ** This is a delightfully low angst, short-story of two English blokes finding love in a surprising place. Theres not a lot of relationship building and some disconcerting time jumps but the ending is a solid HFN. There are a few plot holes to be ignored, but its a simple and sweet and sometimes sexy way to spend a couple of hours. 3.5 of 5 stars Audio I was very pleased that I listened to this rather than read it because Joel Leslie gave it such an authentic flare with his accents and clever narration. Eddie is delightfully country and Theo is perfectly posh. It really made this story pop and elevated it from a nice to an excellent way to spend a couple of hours! 4.5 of 5 stars Overall 4 of 5 stars X-Rated Filming ? If you could sum up Love on Location in three words, what would they be? Daring, Romantic, Secrets What was one of the most memorable moments of Love on Location? I have to say the ending. I love when surprises sum things up. Which scene was your favorite? OMG when Theo and Eddie meet up in the guest cottage. Hot !!! If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Can gay actors make it on the big screen? I would say yes ! Any additional comments? This was a steamy, well written book. Great story line, very entertaining. Joel is the perfect narrator for this kind of story. He brings the characters to life for me, I can picture them like I am watching it all happen. Can't wait to see what Lucy comes up with next. Hopefully she will keep Joel cause he's among the best. I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for a fair review. Fantastic narration. Sweet story This is an ok story that is sweet. The narrator OMG Joel Leslie gives life to the characters. It's a re-hearing for me. A short, sweet story with wonderful narration This a very short love story that can be read in about an hour, but with the narration, you'll wish it is so much longer! Joel Leslie's performance is consistently entertaining and engrossing. he puts the same amount of care, whether the story is long or short. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/St-Nachos-Audiobook/B013PDXOF6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Book Two in the Warder series Members Reviews: Still the worst narrator... Ever. :( Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator. What other book might you compare Tooth and Nail to and why? Well, not a book but a graphic novel. Yami no Matsuei. Why? Because of the paranormal elements and the fact that the characters seem modeled after Japanese manga/anime characters. Also maybe Megan Derr's Dance with the Devil series. What didnt you like about Andrew Schwartzs performance? Everything. It was just so, so, so frigging hard to listen to. It was just extremely unpleasant. No emotion, rushing through the narrative, weird intonation, misplaced or missing emphasis, lack of appropriate pauses, no differentiation between character voices which is important with this author because she doesn't put tags in a lot of her dialogue so unless you have the actual book/ebook open you'll find it almost impossible to discern who the hell is talking. Did Tooth and Nail inspire you to do anything? It inspired me to never, ever buy another audiobook narrated by Andrew Schwatrz. Any additional comments? Release this audiobook again with a better narrator and I'd be more than happy to buy it again. Is the story good..I don't know I couldn't hear.. What would have made Tooth and Nail better? A different narrator! Maybe I'm spoiled because I just got done listening to Charles Carr narrate a book. Mr. Schwartz's voice dips so low when he's not reading dialogue to render him inaudible. His dialogue is forced. If you don't have a good narrator, you're really hurting the book. Both content, story line and narration have to be at least average to be enjoyable, but since I couldn't catch his mumbling most of the time, even after adjusting my bass and treble over and over, I flew up my hands in surrender. What could Mary Calmes have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Get a different narrator. I can't tell if the book was well done..I'm half way through it and don't know half of what's behind the closet. I think Mary and Andrew need to come out of the closet and tell us in loud emphatic words.. Would you be willing to try another one of Andrew Schwartzs performances? NO You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Seemed like the storyline was very workable Any additional comments? I'll give the author one more try as long as its a different person reading. not happy with narrator What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The narrator read the book too fast. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Imperfection-of-Swans-Audiobook/B06XKJTGW9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Superb! One of the most moving, insightful, and hopeful stories I've read (or rather, listened to ;-) in a long time. I couldn't help falling in love with Kevin and Casper, and being pulled along on their journey together. I'm so glad this book was written. Yes, it was a love story, but it was so much more . . . . That it was based upon a close friend of the authors, the real Kevin, made it all the more poignant and triumphant, and it was lovely to hear Kevin's letter to us at the close of the story. Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your experiences with Brandon Witt, and through Brandon's superb pen, with all of us. This book has it all: Wonderful characters you can't help feeling close with, a beautiful and sensitively written story, and all read to perfection. Wonderful New to me author, Brandon Witt has been on my TBR forever. I enjoyed the audio book very much. It will not be the last I read of Brandon A meaningful book This was a wonderful gay romance that ventured beyond the stereotypical story where two hunky guys meet and fall in love where everything is usually too perfect and not like real life. Kevin, our main character although he is handsome and seems to be perfect on the outside has some serious issues he is dealing with. Kevin is the product of an unusual family having two moms who are lesbians and a gay uncle Tony. Kevin has just gone through a divorce having been married to Scott, who looks like he just stepped off the cover of a men's fashion magazine. Living in Boston's ritzy Beacon Hill Kevin has lived a life of privilege with all of its trappings. His dream is to open a wedding dress boutique and get out of working for an insurance company spending his days in a cubicle. Kevin is on the verge of making his dream come true when he runs short of some money to get his new business up and running. Enter Casper, a baker who would like to open a wedding cake business but who is not quite as handsome and all together as Kevin but he's got the funding that would help Kevin to get his business off the ground. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lovers-Losers-and-You-Audiobook/B01LTDDO5E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What did you like best about Lovers, Losers, and You? What did you like least? I liked Owen and how he grew as a character from where he was when the book started, and where he was by the end. He matured and evolved a lot. What was one of the most memorable moments of Lovers, Losers, and You? That the "face value" of the characters wound up being different than one would think. How could the performance have been better? Bradley was waaaaaay too theatrical... or dare I say, satirical. Did Lovers, Losers, and You inspire you to do anything? Not really. Any additional comments? I absolutely loved the first book in this series and wanted to continue the story, though this book could be listened to or read as a stand alone. I did not care for the narration. As I said above, Bradley's tones and inflections didn't really fit with what they should have been. Of course, this is just my opinion. I could tell by the content though, that this was another amazing story of love, loss and figuring out who you are in relation to who you think you want to be. So, my suggestion would be to read this one. wonderful follow up Any additional comments? Second in the series, and I have to be honest, I listened to the first so long ago (in my audio book world, I go through 5-8 a month) that I actually didnt remember who we were talking about. I kept getting the dead brother, but until someone said bike accident did I realize who and what first story we were on about. With that being said, I didnt feel lost, in the first few chapters, until that connection (in my head) was made. This time, we are trying to heal, Owen decides its time. Its time to take a stand, in life, in love, in work. And he starts by finding out about the brother he wasnt able to meet in that life. So heading south for Spring break to the seaside, with weight of the world on his shoulders so he can at least get this one thing off of it. As Andrew, River, Marc, Tomas and Cole rebuild a life after Brenden death; Owen walks in and stirs everything up. Andrew first spots Owen on the beach, and even from that first encounter we can tell that this is going to be a fun, sweet encounter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Magpie-Audiobook/B01MQVZYIA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great addition to the Avian Shifters series! 3.5 Stars. I enjoyed both reading and listening to this story. I have to say that I truly disliked the magpie MC, Kane in the beginning. I hung in there with the story because it was obvious that his redemption was the basis for the arc of the story. He begins as a beat up thief, whore, and addict. Everet, a crow shifter in charge of security, brings him into the Nest for discipline and volunteers to become responsible for him, to become his master. Kane is a complete brat, but slowly, Everets influence changes Kane despite everyones belief that magpies are thieving whores. These was little of a D/s relationship here, just the outer shell of one-I had been hoping for more. Although I liked Duck! much better, I still found this enjoyable and got to see cameos of Ori and Reynard. Its worth your time if youve enjoyed the previous Avian Shifters books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/This-Rough-Magic-Audiobook/B00KXA5LZQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing work from a favourite author The only Lanyon book that I haven't loved. The voice - a film noir style hard boiled detective - was unconvincing and irritating. The mystery was OK but the main character did not seem real and the romance/passion was unconvincing. Overall it was formulaic and not gripping or intriguing in the least. It is the first time I haven't enjoyed a book by this author. Excellent writing! I love everything about this but the end. For some reason, Josh Lanyon always cuts the story abruptly. I love his storytelling and will continue to support this guy cause he is just an amazing gay writer. But come on man, please make the ending last for at least a chapter or two. Gay Sam Spade Well Mr. Lanyon does it again. This is a wonderful mystery/romance told by the perfect narrator for the 1930's noir-like style of storytelling. There is a slow build up of the romance while trying to solve the mystery of who stole a valuable copy of The Tempest (thus the title). He throws in lots of red herrings and action; but, for me, the mystery is really secondary to the MCs journey of self discovery. It all blends together for a truly wonderful listen. Definitely worth a credit. One of my favorites! Loved the feel of the time frame. The narrator's gruff voice for Neil and the ever so upper snobbish of Brett yo flighty Juliette. Fun Perfection! Good mystery Enjoyable listen for all the little twists but I should check if there is a sequel as many questions were left unanswered https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cover-Up-Audiobook/B00JW0EXRK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A realistic and enjoyable second part... Finishing Cop Out, I went directly to Cover Up and I was not disappointed in the least. Is this book as fantastic as the first book...not to me, but I really liked this book. Despite some less than stellar reviews, I felt that the characters of Ivan and Parker were entirely relatable and realistic. Burn did a fantastic job letting the reader/listener feel the emotional turmoil that Ivan was experiencing based on the traumatic events that occurred prior to his meeting Parker. As a former "fat kid", I can so relate to Parker's being taken advantage of by his so-called best friend. I found myself screaming at Parker to stand up to that doofus, which only speaks to the presentation of Burn's story. Again, Tristan James did an excellent job with telling this story. I was seriously impressed that there was no lay-over from Cop Out...the character's were distinct and unique and the intermingling of the characters from the first book...James did a fantastic job. Another great story in this series and I look forward to reading/listening to the next installment...definitely recommend!!! Not nearly as good as the first in the series. A swing and a miss. I'm SO upset that this book didn't rock like book one in the series, "Cop Out." I love the narrator, Tristan James, but even that deep, sultry voice couldn't make this story interesting... or make sense. The biggest problem with this book is that the concept is so far removed from reality that it was almost painful to read. I honestly have no idea why Ivan agreed to the undercover op in the first place. Who would ever think that going undercover to investigate a suspected POT dealer in COLLEGE would be a good idea?? And with no proof, no evidence. And pot dealers in college are SO rare, right? *snorts* The entire set up for the book made no sense. And, honestly Ivan, you should consider going into a different line of work because you SUCK as a cop. I almost felt bad for the guy. He got caught all the time! He was caught snooping, did a crappy job searching Parker's room (left everything in different places, you idiot!), followed Parker to class with just a baseball hat (like no one is going to spot the old guy in the crowd of 18 year olds??)... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Her-Brother-and-Me-Audiobook/B01K1B3P5Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We have Hugo, who meets his step-uncle, Elliot. Hugo's (very religious) step-mother raves about her younger brother the doctor. They give each other googly eyes and the next day Hugo shows up at Elliot's office because he is 'sick'. Doctor Elliot has a special treatment planned for Hugo. A very thorough examine. Naughty, Hot Sex...Definitely a Must If you like naughty, HOT, Raw Sex you will love this one. Hugo was a 18 year old, senior in high school, raging hormones and ready for a good hard f**k. Up to now he had only been with guys his age, not really satisfying that raging need. While going with his stepmom to the store he met her brother, his step uncle, "Uncle Elliott", the doctor. Hugo was definitely taken with him; his looks, his sex appeal, his attraction, and he felt his "Uncle Elliott" might just feel the same. After fantasizing about him that night, he decides to play sick the next day and his stepmom gets him an appointment with Dr. Elliott. As he enters the office the real FUN begins.. It's HOT, Steamy, and definitely a page turner. A beginning of MUCH MORE CUM!! It's naughty because its his uncle, but remember its his step.... young guy in need anything of experienced older guy Just what I needed to start my day. 30 minutes of hotness. Hugo is in desperate need of a good hard experienced shag. Enter his Step-Uncle, Elliott. He's evyer guys fantasy and a doctor too. The fantasy scene where Hugo jacks off is brilliant. So descriptive without bombarding you with unnecessary points and OMG could give a girl penis envy. The scene where Hugo gets to live out his fantasy is hotter than hot. It is seductive, it builds up to a very hot finish. Wouldn't mind reading more about these two.

Lover of fine poetry and lousy choose-your-own-adventure novels, Professor Sebastian Swift was once the bad-boy darling of the literati. The only lines he does these days are Browning, Frost, and Cummings. Even his relationship with the hot, handsome Wolfe Neck Police chief, Max Prescott, is healthy. When one of his most talented students comes to him bruised and begging for help, Swift hands over the keys to his Orson Island cabin - only to find out that the boy's father is dead and the police are suspicious. In an instant, the stable life Swift has built for himself hangs on finding the boy and convincing him to give himself up before Max figures out Swift's involvement in the case. Max enjoys splitting an infinitive or two with his favorite nutty professor, but he's not much for sonnets or Shakespeare. He likes being lied to even less. Yet his instincts - and his heart - tell him his lover is being played. Max can forgive lies and deception, but a dangerous enemy may not stop until Swift is heading up his own dead poet's society.

Members Reviews: Suspense (with poetry) If you could sum up Come Unto These Yellow Sands in three words, what would they be? Exciting, Relevant, Literate What other book might you compare Come Unto These Yellow Sands to and why? Any of Josh Lanyon's other novels, print or audio. They are all literate (also suspenseful, romantic and fun). Besides, Lanyon writes exciting, edge-of-your seat action scenes. Have you listened to any of Paul Fleschners other performances before? How does this one compare? Not sure. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely. When listened to all at one go, as I did yesterday on a long road trip, they may be even more suspenseful and compelling than when read chapter by chapter, which is what typically happens when one must put a printed book aside in the middle of things as the demands of daily life intrude. Any additional comments? The books title is a quote from Shakespeares The Tempest, which is fitting for Sebastian Swift, the storys protagonist, a literature professor who becomes a target when he tries to help one of his students who is suspected of murder. A great pleasure of the book is all the situationally relevant quotes of poets from Shakespeare to Eliot and e.e. cummings. One wonders if Josh Lanyon wishes he had been a professor of literature himself. Based on the evidence here, hed probably be great at it. But you wont need a poetry anthology beside you to enjoy the story, because its also packed with physical and romantic suspense. Download it for your next road trip, or for true listening pleasure anytime. Wonderful narration of a wonderful book What did you love best about Come Unto These Yellow Sands? I read the book first and then listened to the audio.This is one of my favorite books, a very emotional read for me, i love the story, the characters, the mystery, everything. And it has humor and sweetness and a bit of sarcasm. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Out-Foxed-Audiobook/B013TGBG9A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Okay I Relent... This third installment was just wonderful. After I sem-panned the narration of Joel Leslie in my review of the second Skyler Foxe Mysteries novel, I relent and say that his performance in this third installment is just wonderful. I hear myself even now, some weeks after listening to 'Out-Foxed' saying 'Skylerrr' in my head using Joel Leslie's Rodolfo voice! It's hilarious. Out-Foxed does not disappoint on the story side either. It is full of mystery and suspense whilst also being jam packed with humor. In this novel we get to know Skyler's mother a little better and come to see that she is as passionate and caring as Skyler. The only part of the novel I didn't like is when Keith was recalled because the situation had become 'too dangerous'. It didn't really gel with me that he would abandon Skyler that way and leave him in the peril that clearly he was in. Especially when it seemed that his superiors didn't prevent him coming back and clearing everything up with Skyler in the end anyway. The rest of the story was awesome. I am now looking forward to the novelette based around the Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations and hope Audible will have the next full novel 'Foxe Fire' ready for download very soon. Fantastic and fun trilogy climax Where does Out-Foxed rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I loved it - I really enjoy this series... Walsh is a delightful writer with a wonderful sense of humor. I've grown very fond of Joel Leslie's performance's - he totally embodies all of the crazy friends with such zest and comedic energy. What other book might you compare Out-Foxed to and why? I've heard people describe these books as kind of gay Scooby Doo series. It totally has that a fun campy vibe but there is also a whole lot of heart and some really tender moments. Walsh creates characters that make you laugh but also get you really choked up as well... This book sometimes takes a slightly more serious tone at times (probably because it's the completion of an entire story arc) - but I loved it and I'm itching to read book 4. Which character as performed by Joel Leslie was your favorite? Rodolofo - he cracks me up. Leslie's dialect and delivery are priceless. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I find that there is always one point in these books that has me getting teary - and I can never predict which set of characters will cause it. I think that's a testament to how much the reader becomes invested in the cast that Walsh has created through this series. Any additional comments? Keep writing more! another cute book; another FANTASTIC vocal perform I was a bit gushy in my last review about the vocal performer but he might have been even better in this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/His-Roommates-Pleasure-Audiobook/B00DMCBUZC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not My Pleasure Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I don't think so. The book is a bit simplistic, but when I saw that Mr. Gunn was narrating it, I automatically bought it. He's one of my go to narrators. If youve listened to books by Lana McGregor before, how does this one compare? N/A What aspect of Shannon Gunns performance would you have changed? This time around I could barely tolerate his characterizations. The voices were quite grating and nothing like he usually does. Doesn't seem like he was interested in what he was reading. I love his other work though. Could you see His Roommate's Pleasure being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Nope Any additional comments? If you want to hear better from Mr. Gunn, try listening to the L. B. Gregg stories that he narrates. I won't totally give up on this author, but will choose more carefully next time. Entertaining and cute in the end Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, it was diverting and fun to listen to. Which character as performed by Shannon Gunn was your favorite? Adam.I thought his voice and demeanor was perfect for a young college guy. Josh sounded too rough and condescending, even though what he said was not. That made his character a bit discordant. Do you think His Roommate's Pleasure needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? It is not necessary, but it would still be fun to follow their future. Any additional comments? Really nice listen overall, if you like that kind of thing. It is quite explicit, and I understand not everybody is open to that. I thought it was well worth the money. can't stomach this narration ok this storie on book is sexy nasty good. but on audio it's creepy as hell. the narrator really was not picked well at all. what a shame , I wish they would do a "do over" on this audible . but as it is I don't recomend this one . The book is better. Not sure what to say I read this story on my kindle a long time ago and really liked it. I think Lana did a really good job of showing BDSM positively. And I really liked both Josh and Adam. And overall, the narration was actually great. Except for Josh's voice. It was so totally obnoxious. Mr Gunn did a great job at the other voices and did emotions and passion really well. Because of that, I might try another book he's narrated. If you like MM romance with BDSM elements, this is a good story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/See-Me-Audiobook/B071ZJG6GV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Always slight, effeminate, he was the perfect victim for guys like Martin Cavanaugh, one of the high school jocks.

Members Reviews: Enjoyed this story Any additional comments? 3.5 - 4 Stars I liked this story, it's one of forgiveness and growing as a person. Both Adrian and Marty have issues that need to be addressed and both learn a lot from each other, about standing up for who you are and about love. Adrian was severely bullied as a teenager and Marty was a part of it and it certainly left a lasting impression on both men. Adrian has become an incredibly strong person, confident and proud and a total Drag Queen star so imagine his surprise when he discovers Marty in the audience. Marty doesn't have an easy life, he hides who he really is and lives a very lonely life. He doesn't have friends or even connections to other people. He does have the Drag shows though, but when he gets called out one night it makes him question and re-evaluate who he really wants to be. I really did feel bad for him and his struggles even though I didn't really expect to. I think he really has a good heart, but he thinks his family expectations matter more than what he feels and wants. I liked the relationship these two build once they sort through their issues, they seem to really bring out the best in each other. They both have felt an attraction to the other since their ill-fated high school days and it's sweet to see it finally work for them. I loved the confidence that seemed to grow in both men as well. I would have liked to see more in the growth of their relationship, I felt like the story did jump ahead a bit, but in the end I was happy with the way it all turned out for them. I think Joel Leslie does a great job bringing this story to life and giving it the right amount of feeling. Overall a great an enjoyable story to listen to! See Me: Lightning Tales, Vol. 3 Would you listen to See Me again? Why? Yes, I enjoy the story and the narration. What did you like best about this story? I love drag queens! And I enjoy the combination of a KC Wells story with Joel Leslie's voice. What about Joel Leslies performance did you like? He did a much better job than the narrator of the first 2 books. I never wondered who was speaking, and I thought he did a good job with the regional dialect. If you could rename See Me, what would you call it? Second Chances Great Audio I enjoyed the story of Adrian / Adrienne & Marty. From a history in high school, they meet again as adults and it doesn't go well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Tutor-Audiobook/B01LY3H9DL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was very impressed- at first- because there seemed to be so much more to the story than has generally been my experience with this particular genre, where the sexual is the main thrust (so to speak!). But even here, I felt that the sex scenes were WAY too overdone for my taste. TOO graphic, and TOO much. I am not a prude and am not offended by sex scenes, but so much of contemporary writing these days overdoes it to the point where it is no longer titillating but becomes just BORING, BORING, BORING. Also, it seemed a little preachy to me with its politically correct message. This is why I only gave it three stars. However, there were definitely redeeming factors to this audiobook: I enjoyed listening to the narrator who was quite good. And the story otherwise was pretty good, especially with the young twins. A thoroughly enjoyable Gothic tale This lovely story reminded me why I fell in love with Gothic romance way back when I was a teenager in high school. Granted that was in a different lifetime, but the Gothic romance is still wonderful. We have the unique twist of the "governess" who has fallen on hard times instead being a tutor who fudged on his resume to get the job. But is didn't seem to matter. There was still the poor neglected children who need a firm, but loving hand. The bitterly unhappy "Master" of the manor who glowers and growls and also needs a firm, but loving hand. Things that go bump in the night. Let us not forget the "ghost" in the tower. All the elements of a old fashion Gothic novel are here, and put together very well. A thoroughly enjoyable Gothic tale that any fan of the genre would enjoy. Nice ghost storie. Very good storie with a good narrator, is suspenceful and scary at times. Nice listen and good book. Entertaining A really enjoyable Paranormal tale just perfect. Ghosts and romance who could ask for more close to Halloween! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Just-Business-Audiobook/B01LX790RZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Listen! The story was interesting and the characters insightful. The book started off fast and then slowed down but it didn't hurt the story line. I wasn't overly happy with the ending, felt it could have been fleshed out a little more. Overall good book. All over the place Stilted narration. Stilted writing. Waste of a credit. Find an average fic online and it will be better than this book. worth the credit this book was great. the author brings the characters to life and it's one of those old books your so into your feeling the pain the characters are going through n are rooting for them. Good Book, lack of ending The book itself was pretty good, it's the ending the completely fizzled, that kind of made me sad. good hard story The story is a good one but hard too. the pain felt real. The narration is good but I rated it low for production values. All but one chapter had a persistent background hiss. the tone on the good chapter made the rest feel inconsistent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Low-Road-Audiobook/B009VIHME4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Rollicking Riotous Adventure-Comedy of Profligacy Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No! It is a idle down time amusement thing. The M/M sense are frequent and a bit repetitive. It is easy to put down and pick back up again. Any additional comments? The audio version of this book has the charm of a gifted narrator, Mark Bachman. He successfully mimics a Scottish brogue and well as French and English accents. The material is a bit farcical, and Mark keeps the tone light and playful. His voice has that deep rich resonance and with this material; it will melt you socks off. James Lear was fortunate to get this narrator. The Low Road is the first James Lear M/M genre novels I have reviewed. It has solid structure, solid plot, and devices used (the love letters come to mind) are clever. It made me wonder; who is James Lear? ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James Lear was born with the name Rupert Smith in 1960 in Washington DC [Not to be confused with General Sir Rupert Anthony Smith, the noted military author, born in 1943]; Lear grew up in Surrey and moved to London in 1978 where he still lives. After a few years in an academic career, which really wasnt his cup of tea, he got into journalism where he stayed for over 20 years, writing for a wide variety of dailies, weeklies and monthlies in the UK and elsewhere. He still does bits and pieces, but now fiction is his full-time job. He also writes under the name James Lear (M/M erotica) and Rupert James (blockbuster chick type, bodice ripper, stuff like Fly on the Wall, Silk and Step Sisters). BACK TO THE BOOK: Getting back to this offering by Mr. Lear; for my tastes, the M/M action is a bit over the top like any good farce. It is more like a sporting marathon where the characters collapse after being stuffed, stretched, poked, prodded, abused, and humiliated only to pop up, fresh as a daisy, and be ready for more within hours of a maximum assault on his person. With this much exposure the innocent good-hearted Charlie Gordon will be left with no more sensitivity then the inside of an old leather army boot; if he lives at all. Dont get me wrong, it is a fun M/M karma sutra like variety exorcise of the imagination. However, no one but a masochist could endure these scenes and crave more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sunrise-Audiobook/B077VWR6D6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Read Sunrise before Sunset As I said in my review for Sunset, I highly recommend to read/listen to this book first before starting with book one. Sunrise is where it all begun and you get the answers to so much that arnt even mentioned or just slightly hinted at in Sunset. This book is where it all begun for our menny main charachters and how they end up where they are in Sunset, and the menny flashbacks goes into contex and makes sense (finaly). This is by far my favorite in the series, but there are a lot of events in this book, so at times I had to take a break to absorb it all. Just like the other books in this series this is a light m/m fantasy with no real erotica, stays at kisses and toutches but with no sex scenes. Its a really good book and Greg Tremblay did a awesome job to keep track of them all like in Sunset! Really recommend this book! Great book. I really enjoy this book. I got hooked and could not stop listening. I really enjoyed the will they won't they story line as well. I do recommend this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bound-by-Nature-Audiobook/B00O1GBFBC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This love story surpassed my expectations I have to admit that this story was not what I expected. It was so much more. I love the entire concept of mates for life. I wish that human beings were created that way, but alas, I have to read my mm books to get my mate-lust sated. Between carefully placed flashback sequences, we get a clearer understanding of the love that exists between Joshua and Hayden. Both alpha males and heir apparent for both of their packs. Something happens that sends Hayden to prison. In the present, Hayden, once an awkward, but confident, and highly intelligent man, is now angry, resentful, and hateful. The love he felt for Joshua seems to have dissipated and he's lost his way.... well, I guess you can probably figure out that they are each other's destinies. But, the only way for Hayden to overcome his anger, is to remember his past. Once he does, it's all about forgiveness, love, and allowing time to heal old wounds. I have to say that of all the mate theme books, this one transcended the entire concept. I have to admit, there is one scene that I just could NOT take. I had to fast forward through. So, be forewarned that there is a scene that, while I'm sure was essential for us to understand the full extent of the love between these two men, it was too much for me to bare. Regardless, this book confirmed my faith in the love of one's mate, and I am eager to read more by this author. Wonderful read. Credit or no. It's a must-get. Incongruous Main Conflict in a Shifter World While the writing wasnt terrible, much of the book came across as generic shifter fare. I get the feeling that the amnesia inciting incident was an idea for a contemporary book, but shifters are a hot topic so the author slapped a relatively weak plotline for a human story into a paranormal book and decided to ignore the gaping plot holes and WTF illogical decisions created when you move this kind of story into a paranormal setting. ************SPOILERS**************** Considering the two MCs are the heir apparents of their respective packs, that they are repeatedly described as strong, large, etc and Haydens pack/family have money, it makes absolutely no sense not to go to the police. Had Josh told the truth, the physical evidence on his body and at his home would have backed him up and the police would have offered protection, which would add to the protection Hayden would have had anyway since hes in a PACK and the next alpha. Josh decides Hayden is safer in jail, thinking he killed a man, which is shaky logic by itself because AGAIN they both have packs with territories that are patrolled and no strangers could enter their lands without being scented but ok. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Guns-Hoses-Audiobook/B00U6LT78O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worth reading This was a fun story to read, well written, interesting, and both guys were likeable. The sex scenes were hot, not overdone, and made me wish I could have them both. Horrible head-hopping! It was a tough story to follow in the ebook and worse in audio. The head-hopping makes it near impossible to tell who was speaking. Don't buy this in audio without reading the ebook first. Then decide if it's worth the audio price. Fun sexy voice and a good story. firefighter and cop a tasty combo, with an enemy to lover story, Fun story sexy listen. it was terrible What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? it was terrible Would you ever listen to anything by Brenda Cothern again? no it was not what I thought Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Vasicek? it was terrible What reaction did this book spark in you?

Small town southern characters and a super story kept me listening long after my bedtime! yet another interesting continuation many hours of enjoyment listing to this one - and of course like any great story it demands that you go on to #3 - love Sweetie the dog - could do without the ghost - but all in all it's a great listen keeps getting better sarah is a today woman, without the forensics, without a plerhora of romance, ut believably real, she still manages to solve some very good conundrums as a fledgling pi...glad there are more... If you like cozy mysteries - Get this book! Great characters & narration! I have enjoyed previous books by this author & narrator. Well done! Southern, Sassy and Soulful Fun Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I want all my Daddy Girl friends to get hooked on these Southern, Sassy and Soulful fun characters. I loved this book. It's one of those relaxing fun reads where you get laughs and entertained throughout the book. Sarah Booth Delaney with her family antebellum home complete with haunting of Gitty the ghost , best friend Tinky and her ability to sleuth in and out of trouble, leads readers in and out of hysterical situations. What other book might you compare Buried Bones to and why? This book is a mixture of Sweet Home Alabama meets the YaYa Sisterhood with a little Janet Evanich crazy antics of Stephanie Plum series! Which scene was your favorite? I loved the idea of Moon Lake casino with its historic setting of an old riverboat gothic architectural casino from the 1960's being filled with scrapbooks of famous people and preserved antiques and mystery of its own. Who was the most memorable character of Buried Bones and why? There were many interesting characters but the way Gitty, the ghost , interacts in her ever changing wardrobe with the main character Sarah Booth as her guide to life and her family history, and guides her through so many thought provoking moments makes her my favorite. Any additional comments? I can't wait to continue the series. Everyone needs a little Sarah Booth and friends escape from reality. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Gay-50-Shades-of-Gay-Audiobook/B01CKIFHLQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Shade Stars I am all for a first timer, haha that sounds naughty and it isnt. Ok it is but its allowed with these stories right? I dont know what to say about Allen and Bill other than read this short its sweet and hopeful. I really like how Allen was the shy one and Bill took charge but in all the right ways he didnt push Allen but he helped guide him. I love stories like this one, can you tell. =;-) I like the deep tone the narrator used the best, he really brought Bill to life for me. *Given for an Honest Review.* Short, but sweet story I enjoyed this story. The two main characters needed to be fleshed out a bit more, but were both likable. Narrator did well distinguishing the different characters, but was slow and a bit flat. I think the narration took away some from my over all enjoyment of the story. Sex scenes were good, but not what I would consider to be "erotic". Actually, they were very tame, but not unpleasant. A pretty traditional and tame "first time" story. This book had a lot of potential and I think that with some tweaking of the narration, some more detail to the characters and a substantial plot it could be much more. The over all plot was weak and non-climactic. I will read/listen to another book by this author and the narrator in future books. Both have a lot of potential and I'd like to see how they do in future stories/ narration. I don't believe the author or the narrator should be given up on at this point. I'm looking forward to seeing how both will do in the future. I received this book for free in exchange for a honest review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Deadline-Audiobook/B016UWF6TG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A girlie romance, shallow predictable characters detract from a good story line. One of my FAVORITE audio books! Would you consider the audio edition of Deadline to be better than the print version? I never read the print version so I can't really say but I loved the audio book. Who was your favorite character and why? Sam Perry, I found her to be the right amount of capable, talented and intelligent. She was a fantastic protagonist! Have you listened to any of Julia Farhats other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't but I may give them a shot. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Sam Perry will beat the Deadline to catch a killer. Any additional comments? This was a great mystery mixed with a great lesbian love story. However, the mystery aspect was stronger than the love story which I didn't mind, because you can find many a good lesbian love story but not very many that incompasses both (mystery and love story) as well as this author does. pretty darn good this is a who-done-it with a few twists and a little (read a very limited)lesbian storyline. Some of the mystery is predictable, but much is not revealed until the end. overall, it is entertaining. Secrets Kill A pretty good mystery with multiple inter tangled relationships and at least two, perhaps three story climaxes. The literary narrative is done by reporter Samantha Perry who after witnessing the aftermath of an entire family killed and tortured has semi-retired to the desert to do bingo fixing features for a small local weekly. Then Sam is sent to do an initial report on a dead body located in the desert and the scent of a major crime has her investigating instincts alive again. While doing her sleuthing reporter thing she meets a gorgeous Hollywood A Lister who is currently running for mayor of Palm Springs. Sam, having pushed down her lesbian desires after a bad experience as a teenager is energized by the intelligent, talented, beautiful actress. As usual in books, television shows and movies, human nature and realism are stretched past the breaking point in pursuit of drama a time or two. In spite of those limitations this one rates as a solid 4 star read/listen. Interesting This is a well written and very complex mystery with lots of twists and turns. However, I felt that there was too much going on within the dynamics of the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunted-Heart-Winter-Audiobook/B00OAOHA8M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is the first book in a series. It is primarily a ghost story with a underlying budding romance. But I think this is going to be a slow burn romance, similar to the Adrien English series. Both men have demons to tackle and they are not really address (or in Kirk's case even revealed) in this book. But the ghost story is very compelling and I was freaked out a couple of times. The narrator does a great job with all the voices and the inherent creepiness. Can't wait for the next book. Definitely worth a credit. Gripping psychological ghost story What made the experience of listening to The Haunted Heart: Winter the most enjoyable? The story is compelling and Lee Samuels' narration beautifully conveys all the suspense and emotion. What other book might you compare The Haunted Heart: Winter to and why? Josh Lanyon's "Dark Farewell," in which spiritualism is the focus: can we communicate with the dead? What does Lee Samuels bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Emotional context; drama. He made the characters, including a dead one, come alive. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was mesmerizing. Any additional comments? A full-blown ghost story and mystery. It raises the question does Josh Lanyon believe in ghosts? Whether or not he does, even if you are a total materialist, at least while you're listening, he'll make a believer of you. And it made my six hour road trip fly by. Did you see that ghost? A new twist for Josh and I cannot wait for the next installment. This is a ghost story, but not about a ghost hunter. Flynn's pain and heartache call to a ghost caught in a mirror, can they figure out who she is and how to help her move on? and more importantly: Can Flynn learn to love again......?We'll have to wait and see. Another Josh Lanyon treat I enjoy Josh Lanyon, and this book was fairly typical for him. It's a short book, and the narration is very good. Great !

Members Reviews: Sexy Shifter story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Depends on whether or not they enjoy Paranormal Romance that's super spicy. What did you like best about this story? The world that O'Riley created, vividly described and conveyed. What about Craig Becks performance did you like? Everything! Who was the most memorable character of Whiskers of a Chance and why? I simply cannot chose just one, I have to say Jason and Keith. Jason wishes for something more and finds it not only in, but with Keith. Any additional comments? This is one hot tamale. Wonderful world building, the story flows well and the plot is carefully laid out as the story progresses. Neither man knows what's in store being mated to another man, but they are oh so very happy to figure it, together, as often they can and in as many positions as they can. If you're looking for a well written story that is narrated precisely and perfectly with a whole lot of lovin goin on... step right this way please. Really gifted narrator, fun shifter story Keith is a lynx shifter who suffers under the thumb of his autocratic father, who is also his alpha. In 3 years he will have a chance to stand on his own and challenge him, but for now he must either follow his rules or work around him. Keith is positive he has no mate, as far as he knows there are no gay shifters, so hes almost worried when he scents something mate-like on the air as hes moving into his new house. Hes ecstatic to find that it is his mate and his mate is a man! Jared is a little bit gun-shy in the love department. Hes been burned in the past and has a low self esteem as a result. When he spies his new neighbor moving in next door, he wants to be friendly and introduce himself. He is overwhelmed when he realizes that not only is this hot guy gay, but hes totally into him! There are quite a few things these guys have to work through to make it to their HEA. First theres Keiths very conservative (and controlling, evil, manipulative) father. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Backward-Audiobook/B00W3RQZZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sounds like he has a stopped up nose! Would you try another book from Andrew Grey and/or John Solo? I always enjoy Andrew Grey's books, and even loved reading Backward. Also, John Solo is a very good narrator and his narration of the book's text is fine. But the voice of Tristan is awful! He sounds precisely like he has a stopped up nose, which is incredibly unsexy. Also, Harry's voice sounds a little like an old man and has no sex appeal. Very disappointing character voice choices and performance by the usually strong team of Gray and Solo. I'll certainly listen to the preview of any of their future joint efforts before buying. Good but... The narration was excellent. Varied voices kept all of the characters organized. I like Andrew Grey books and have listened to several. I would like hear more compelling dialog from the characters. Dialog that might make me scratch my head and think. I found some of the subject matter repeated throughout the book in slightly different words. I would also like to hear dialog that would be typical for the age group of the characters. For example...at one point Tristan is getting dressed while Harry waits. Tristan says "let me finish dressing..." I struggled with that choice of words. A normal conversation might have had him say "let me get dressed...or...let me finish getting dressed". The author's choice reminded of a snobbish old woman. But of course I'm not the author. Nice story. Author brought me in to story and had me care about characters. Would change some voices though. Good read nonetheless m Love the Broncos Boys! I love the Broncos books! Another great story by Andrew Grey! Not my favorite of Andrew ' s narrators, but I still loved it! Love the series, BUT I like the series but the main character tristen I did not like. I like the narrator a lot for this series but the voice he did for tristen only exasperated the writing which was that of a sniveling whining brat. I really dislike whiny characters in any book. I am not going to give up on the series, but this was my least favorite book in the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Kindred-Hearts-Audiobook/B008AJZ3EQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amazing writing and narration What other book might you compare Kindred Hearts to and why? In genre it reminds me a lot of the late Barbara Cartland books, though that should not be set as a guideline for the story. Which character as performed by Paul Morey was your favorite? Gibson, I loved his accent. In general Paul Morey was excellent at performing voices, as they only changed slightly in tone, instead dialect and accent were used to describe the individual characters. Any additional comments? The story had a great diversity among the characters, Charlotte and Tristan were probably those with the best descriptions. The initial description of Tristan's life, not only as a child but also leading up to his marriage quickly stirred my sympathy. The changes that transpire for him through his life are well described and I love the initially slow moving romance. Charlotte was a delight to listen to, though I often disagreed with her decisions she has a calm way of looking at things. During the first quarter of the book I often found myself smiling at her odd inputs. I might have continued to do that through the rest of the book, but when you do it all the time you stop noticing. All the main characters had pretty well-developed backgrounds as you moved on through the story. The stigma of sodomy at the time is handled very well in the book, both how society views it and how the protagonist deals with it. The language is also generally kept in the right language, very few times is new slang used instead of the more proper form of speaking. It does not make the book hard to understand in any way, but it creates the atmosphere of that time. Only slips I noticed was during the sex scenes, which there weren't too many of. There was more focus on the romance and what it meant to their lives than the sexual part, which I found very refreshing from a lot of gay romance audiobooks. Well Done! I am a fan of Rowan Speedwell because she is able to present psychological problems in her characters very realistically. I read this book before listening to it, Paul Morey was able to add to the story via character presentation. Definitely recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lawrence-Frightengale-Investigates-Audiobook/B078JN99PC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I also grew up watching classic movie "horror hosts" in the 1970s, and that cultural phenomenon is an important element of how this tale weaves its magic. You won't forget meeting Lawrence and Myrna.

The author is quite amazing at narration, which is quite rare. "It WAS bitter; like biting into memory itself" says Harry when, late in the book, a Cree two-spirit healer (maybe) has him chew roots hoping to trigger a healing vision. Oh, and what bitter memories he has to bite banished from home and family in England he lands on a Section on the Canadian plains working through every waking hour to fulfill the terms of the Grant; fence and cultivate 160 acres within 3 years. I loved the secondary story of the settling of the Canadian wheat basket and the hard lives of the homesteaders. We had just finished reading "Little House" to our youngest. But this is a story about discovering love, surviving and transcending abuse, emotional and physical. Mr. Gale's narration is good but not so much of a range and somewhat variable. It's much better than an average narration but not as good as one done by a skilled voice actor who could have made the audible version richer than the written one. I'd read it again. Bonus points for the sensitive discussions of transgender (and coincidental timeliness). beautiful story I don't know how to describe this book except that it held me from the start and made me feel the full spectrum of emotions from beginning to end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Midsummer-Curse-Audiobook/B00N4DX87W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you could sum up Midsummer Curse in three words, what would they be? Different, fantastical, shifters. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I would have allowed Brayton to pound the living shit out of Ferdie, since he thought or talked about wanting to at least a dozen times. What about Paul Moreys performance did you like? Flawless, as usual. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Brayton woke up after the wolfsbane knocked him out to find Ferdie asleep on the floor by his bed. Any additional comments? Brayton is a natural born shifter, a lone wolf and a jack of all trades. He winds up in the mostly supernatural inhabited town of Midsummer at a friends request to help a cursed gremlin find out who and why he was cursed, and hopefully, break it. The last thing Brayton expected was to fall for the sexy little shy gremlin that he lovingly nick names Itty Bitty five minutes after they meet. Ferdie is a gremlin, mechanically inclined by nature, but someone has cursed the poor guy so that every time he tries to tinker, everything he touches falls apart. This, in and of itself, is pure torture for a gremlin. It doesnt help that his ex-boyfriend is a tool that is trying his damndest to get Ferdie to forgive him and take him back. And then he finds himself insanely attracted and drawn to the shifter that was sent to break his curse. This was just a fast, fun read. Megan Derr and Paul Morey have become somewhat of an unstoppable team in the MM romance audio book department. She writes these intricate stories, usually shifter and/or magic oriented, and Morey tells those stories with flawless narration. His voice is like honey dripping off the vine, its mesmerizing, sexy and fluent. While I enjoyed this audio, I did have one issue with the storyline. At least a dozen times, if not more, in less than three hours; Brayton talked about wanting to bang his itty bitty. I dont think the man went more than fifteen minutes without talking or thinking about it. But they never do. There is one two minute scene at the very end where a couple heated blow jobs are exchanged, but thats it. I felt cheated in that aspect. But aside from that, it was an awesome story and I cant wait to hear more from the town of Midsummer. Awful This is a romance story between a warewolf and a gremlin. The plot is predictable. The characters are flat. The dialouge is crude and vulgar. Overall, I could not connect with the main character. Waste of time forme and I did not get through half the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Two-Spirits-Audiobook/B00LEQ7CAK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another stellar perfomance by Nick J Russo We start out meeting Buck and Ari at their first meeting in elementary school. Buck slightly outcast, overweight, other, lonely and Ari new kid, hyperactive, petite and friendly to everyone. They form an instant bond that sticks with them all through high school until suddenly, just when Bucks life is falling down around his ears, Ari leaves town for Hollywood not to be heard from for the next 5 years. As the story progresses we learn that Buck has fought the attraction he felt for his best friend for years and never voiced it aloud. Hes crushed when Ari abandons him and is unwilling to just let bygones be bygones when Ari suddenly returns as his new neighbor. Ari, meanwhile, has grown up and found himself in a lucrative acting career. Hes ready to come home and wants to be back in Bucks life. ** This book was a solid 5 star read for me up until the ending. Unfortunately, Ive found this to be true with several of the authors books. Its like once the couple has even a hint that things might be on the path of happiness the story ends. It feels like slamming into a brick wall! There is no way this feels like a resolved story to me. Yes, the boys are in a good place and yes it feels like it might be forever but we just spent all this time with them apart and just as we get a glimpse of happy BAM the storys over. Sure, I found the writing to be engaging and well done Buck is a fun character and I loved being in his head at times! but I also wished wed seen a bit more from Ari. Hes barely a character as this is so much a Buck story and less a Buck and Ari story. In any case there was much to like about this story but I really wish thered been more to the ending. Book 3.5 of 5 stars Audio I picked up the audio because Nick J Russo is one of my favorite narrators and I couldnt wait to see how he could help this story along for me. I was right. I definitely felt better about the story after listening to it because he adds so much to the overall experience. I love his take on emotions and when things are funny hes at his best. I highly recommend his narrations and he did a great job with this one. Audio 5 of 5 stars Overall 4 of 5 stars Well.... To me this story wasn't what I expected. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Crucible-of-Fate-Audiobook/B00MU0UQRU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 5 Stars for John Orr's narration! Any additional comments? 5 Stars for John Orr's narration! 4.5 stars minus one full star for unnecessary miscommunication = 3.5 Stars for story. I will start by saying this - 5 Stars for John Orr's narration! His narration was absolutely fantastic. Orr was an absolute pleasure to listen to. This should have been a slam dunk 5 star story for me. I am a sucker for this trope where a young gay man with a tragic past comes to a small town and gains love and acceptance. The story flowed well and everything was going great until...but I'll get back to that. So this story is about Oliver Parrish, a former foster kid who's had a pretty hard life without a lot of love or help. He's all alone in the world and his only dream and ambition is to be an Executive Chef one day. When he trudges home after yet another exhausting fourteen-hour day he finds Owen Macklin "Mack" on his stoop looking "emotionally broken" and asking for Oliver, Oliver reluctantly lets Mack come up to his apartment. Mack delivers the news that the sister Oliver never knew existed, Maggie, had died and left Oliver her bakery and apartment. He asks Oliver to return with Mack to Hope Cove, Maine in order to close out Maggie's things and get to know the sister he never got a chance to meet. Just an aside - the emotion Orr brings to the scene where Mack tells Oliver about Maggie's death is heartbreaking. Maggie had been Mack's best friend since fourth grade, and the utter devastation that Orr weaves through Mack's voice...was breathtaking. Once Oliver returns with Mack to Hope Cove he decides he isn't comfortable staying at Maggie's apartment, so Mack offers his guest room for the night until the B&B opens the following day. But the two men get along, and that one night turns into a few days...and the two find themselves falling in love. Their relationship grows and the sex is HOT! The narration keeps the story flowing really well, everything was going great...and then. Then there is a BIG MISCOMMUNICATION detour. Oliver gets some news and runs back to Seattle without telling Mack where or why he's going. It turns into a thing. Honestly, I felt this entire section was completely unnecessary and served no good purpose. Thankfully it's not a long period of stupidity and the romance and story gets back on track. Personally, I thought Mack forgave Oliver waaaaay too quickly and should have made him grovel. Seriously grovel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Colorado-Wild-Audiobook/B00HW1KDZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I will honest, it took me almost an hour to get use to the narration. The vocal inflections almost reached the degree of screeching on a chalkboard for me. The voice of Billy was horrid (in my opinion) and it seemed that the narrator confused the inflections a number of times. The story was all over the place, making it difficult to understand the premise behind the story. When the story first began, with the introduction of Ray into the fold and Grant mulling over his departed partner... I thought the primary characters were going to be Ray and Grant but then Billy and Tucker jumped in there and I gave up trying to determine who the primary characters were. Too many and too much... Loved the books, the audio not so much This is an interesting one for me to review because I did find the experience of reading the book and listening to the audio version different. I really enjoyed the book, and the rest of the series I have read so far - 4.5 stars for all the action and the simmering relationships - but the audio didn't sit as well with me. I wonder if this is because I read the books first and one impression of the characters in my head and it didn't match the narrator and the accents he provided? Anyway, if you are unsure if the narrator, Stan Jensen is for you, do check out the audio sample before buying the book. But if you don't go down the audio path, definitely buy the books! From my original review....."You need to suspend the disbelief that a high proportion of these elite military men are gay or bi, and just accept that Wild Bluff Ranch is a totally hot place to be!" horrible voice for this book Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Book yes. Audio book no. What did you like best about this story? The action and love story is great. How did the narrator detract from the book? the voice was old and It didnt match any character but Duff. What would have made this romance irresistible? more one on one with the couples. It is a great story. I thought it could have been a longer book. It seemed rushed in some parts. Any additional comments? I listened to the first book but read the second. I enjoyed it better when I read it. Terrible Narrator What would have made Colorado Wild better? A different narrator Would you be willing to try another book from Sara York? Why or why not? Not if it is the same narrator How did the narrator detract from the book? The voices he used gave you the impression of old men.. You didnt love this book... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Eastern-Cowboy-Audiobook/B0117TM8SE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amazing story!! What made the experience of listening to Eastern Cowboy the most enjoyable? The narrator did a great job telling this story. He made it a very easy listen and really brought the characters to life. What was one of the most memorable moments of Eastern Cowboy? Any time Brighton told Tanner he perfect even with his stutter. It showed true emotion and really kind of hit home for me because I used to have a stutter. Tanner was kind person and people didn't see that because of his speech impediment. Which scene was your favorite? The scene where Brighton and Tanner we talking about the farm and Brighton said it was "our farm". Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? If I could, I would have listened to this in one sitting. I usually listen to audio books to/from work but this one was on play for my most of my work day! if you like slow, tedious and boring charaters So. I did not enjoy this book and would not recommend it. The performance is slow and monotone. I cannot tell you how many time I just plain feel asleep. Both characters are tedious and boring. There is one sex scene that verges on interesting. But really it's not worth the credit. One of Grey's Best. I can't say that I've read too many of Grey's books - most of the books' summaries just don't grab my "I have to read this" attention, but I do keep the author in mind when looking for new stuff. The first book I picked up from this author was "Love Comes Silently," which is a good book if you overlook a horrible narrator and vanishing characters. But that's neither here nor there for this review. "Eastern Cowboy" really came together for me - nothing felt forced, the characters made me care about them, and the plot had an eastern twist, which was different from everything else I've read about cowboys. Andrew Grey is a great world/character builder, but so far there's always been something missing, something important that doesn't get resolved, important side characters that fade away, etc... This time there's none of that; it's a well written, complete story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-Search-of-Saints-Audiobook/B01NBFIB5J Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: beautiful, as always -- As always, I love Fox's prose. One random example: "I tried to speak. Something was wrong with my throat, as if the rain had got in. Rain and rust and shame, enough to drown me." This isn't my favorite Fox tale. For the best of Fox, try (in ascending order of length) Life After Joe, Driftwood, or Scrap Metal. But even though this doesn't rank at the top of her work, it's still plenty good. For one thing, it has plenty of that trademark Fox sense of place -- I swear, you'll have to search long and hard to find anyone who creates as much feeling of locale as Fox does. And, of course, there's that Fox prose. Gotta love it. Fox seems to specialize in MCs that have been emotionally devastated in some way, and her bold....meaty?...strong?....emphatic?....vital?...prose always does a wonderful job of bringing that devastation to life without becoming maudlin or sappy. So what didn't I like about this story? Well, I'm not a big fan of paranormal -- and that is a definite element here. Also, I generally prefer longer stories -- there just isn't enough time to establish either character or plot in a short story. Third, both the MC and the "bad guy" undergo significant changes that, IMHO, happen too quickly to be easily swallowed -- another side effect of the short story form. Overall, though, this is still a fine tale. Everyone should read more Harper Fox! We Need a Sequel Mitch and Owen are two characters I would like to see again. They get through this novella by discovering more about each other by being themselves, which in the case of Mitch is almost as selfish as his ex-lover, and in the case of Owen coming to the conclusion that he is better than what some people think of him. Especially Mitch. The harrowing action scenes toward the end of this book are brilliantly worked out, and the resolution to several of the major issues, including those of the romantic kind, are somewhat surprising. But, we need more of these two men--they are a terrific couple and they have many adventures ahead of them, hopefully. another gold medal by this author wow, just wow! This is another wonderful work from an artist so accomplished and talented that there aren't any superlatives or phrases adequate to describe her writing - although Harper Fox could do it, were she inclined to write about herself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Darkling-Thrush-Audiobook/B009LQPAJK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Magical Story What did you love best about The Darkling Thrush? Lanyon's lyrical descriptive writing. Who was your favorite character and why? Colin. An appealing mix of stubbornness and youthful hope. What does Max Miller bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His amazing, distinct vocal characterizations of all the characters in the book. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes, when Septimus, who has been assigned to kill Colin even though he loves him, says "I would do anything to save you." Any additional comments? The story is a heady brew of fairies, brownies, witches, humans with magical powers, an ancient monster from the Deep, Celtic legends, and magic spells. Of course, its also a suspenseful mystery and a romance. Lanyon places his story in the haunted, wind-swept isles off the northwest coast of Scotland, a location which inspires some of the best, most lyrical descriptive writing he has produced. The storys title is a reference to the poem of the same name by Thomas Hardy. Appropriately for the story, the poems last lines are: I could think there trembled through His happy good-night air Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew And I was unaware. Learn to Observe the Omens... When I began this book I was a bit unsure of what I had gotten myself into. I had to listen to the first chapter twice in order to get both a sense of the story as well as a back-story to some of the mystical characters involved. Additionally, the time frame of the story continues to elude me. As a huge fan of Josh Lanyon's, I was a bit surprised at the lack of back-story regarding the mystical...but I digress. With all that, I must admit that I did get into the story and enjoyed it a great deal. Colin's outlook was interesting and the whole thing with Septimus caught me off guard, which is always a good thing. Max Miller did a great job and added differing perspectives to the list of characters within the story. I do recommend, but if you are a bit uneducated to the mystical, you may need to prepare to listen very closely or perhaps twice. Good story... A Dark Treat Where does The Darkling Thrush rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Very high. The story was a wonderful surprise and the narrator is outstanding. I don't know where they found him, but I do hope that he gets lots more work. Who was your favorite character and why? Septimus. You could tell that he had ambiguous feelings for the hero and when the truth was finally revealed, he morphed into a darkly sensual (not just sexual) man that I wish was present in more m/m novels. Which scene was your favorite? The train's journey to Scotland. If you could take any character from The Darkling Thrush out to dinner, who would it be and why? Septimus. He was quite mysterious and I would have wanted to unravel him. Any additional comments? Max Miller - Bravo and ENCORE!!! Enjoyable Highly enjoyable. I really liked the ebook and hearing it read is a real treat. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Music-of-the-Soul-Audiobook/B00JG5YU2O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Nice Twist That Partially Delivers Mandy Harris; rock 'n' roll's bad girl comes home with a big secret and a determination to live a different life. Instantly she meets the girl of her dreams; sickeningly sweet platitudes and then the relationship is ripped asunder and Mandy goes back to the bottle; then back on tour, but she has been changed. The scenes from the road are well written and ring true. While still portraying Mandy's growth there is no devolving into the cliches that encumber Mandy's inner thoughts and her dialogue with Bella. Her ability to be among both the masses and the press while avoiding hearing anything about what's going on in the town she left behind strains credulity it sets up the one of the classic cliches of lesbian romance where the story once again devolves into smarmy saccharine inner dialogue. For all the scorn I've heaped upon it this was a good listen and I won't hesitate to purchase the next book in the series. An amazing ride Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I purchased this book after reading the reviews, and it sounded similar to another book i enjoyed What other book might you compare Music of the Soul to and why? It does remind me a little of Dangerously Close, by Dee J. Adams another author i enjoyed listening to. Which scene was your favorite? To not spoil the book i have to say the first voice mail she listens to... Who was the most memorable character of Music of the Soul and why? Temping to say Anabella - shes an amazingly strong and amusing character, but i definitly have to say Mandy herself, shes exceptionally well rounded and being in her head was definitly alot of fun Any additional comments? For any Scifi Fans i strongly reccomend Return of the Asgard by Erik Schubach as well i definitly hope to see more of this authors works on audible in the near future - worth every dollar in my book Love it I absolutely love this book! The narration was spot on. The story is well told. If you are looking for a feel good book I would choose this one :) Awesome =) Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is the first time I use an audio book and I can definitely say I can recommend the experience. By listening to the story you get a new perspective and even get to experience emotions that when you only read the book you might have even missed. I was able to just close my eyes and go on the wonderful journey the story brings us. What did you like best about this story? I actually liked everything about the book, the characters dept and development, the way the story evolved and simply pulls you in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Stranger-Audiobook/B01E7E6OG8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: it was it was great I love it.i what more it really was to shot needs more Waking, but not alone. All to short a Book 1 of 5, so far. With the minimum of a book description and what was thought to be at least a 2nd, very pleasurable, sexual mutual climax for both men, the last words as the man left the space was his reponse to the embarrassing question for his name: the stranger. The stars are for a good start, but too short a book 1 to be graded as a book or the first homework for a writing course. The title states (Unabridged). Shortened and it would be the length and as informative as this review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Artifact-Audiobook/B00GOZJDLC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: eerie , if a bit slow If you could sum up The Artifact in three words, what would they be? Complex, haunting, eerie Who was your favorite character and why? Sean, the inner dialogue and perhaps the catalyst Have you listened to any of Chris Pattons other performances before? How does this one compare? I adore Chris Patton's narration. He pauses in just the right place, delivers the dialogue crisp and full of emotion. I have begun looking at all the books I notice he narrates. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was like a great old fashion horror movie. one where it wasn't just about mutilation, where the story rolled out with enough " mysterious incidents" to continually drive the story forward. Any additional comments? X. Aratare writes a fascinating scintillating horror story, that also has haunting realistic characters with depths of intrigue and flaws . I'm looking forward to hearing the next installment. Unfinished Story What did you love best about The Artifact? I really love the characters and the story line has promise. Just wish something would have been resolved in the book. Any additional comments? It is as if the story stops in the middle. There are no answers and apparently book 2 is not available at this time (audio or ebook). I would recommend you wait to listen to this one until book 2 is released. Wow... unexpected I can't wait until the next book comes out... this was pretty good... It is m/m romance... and not actually romancing has taken place between the two main characters as of yet just two really erotic daydreams about each other; however, the story is really interesting... And is something moving in that museum... Boy O Boy... I want to know.... Narration was great! Good sale or credit book.. Only Book 1 is on Audible... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Clockwork-Tangerine-Audiobook/B01FIC05ZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's so sweet and I love the world it's set in. My only regret is that it's so short. I would love to see more of this world and especially of Marcus and Robin. Oh... and Greg.... I can't get enough of his voice! Steampunk that even I can love! Westwood (Aka Marcus Stenhill) finds a man being beaten nearly to death in an alley one night and saves him. Little does he know hes rescued the notorious toy maker, a scientist punished for blending science and magic, a man whose creation, in fact, killed Westwoods own father. Robin (aka the toy maker) is constantly fighting against a society that doesnt understand him or his work. Hes punished for being a sodomite and for his work, but he wont stop because people are helped by his inventions. After saving Robin and learning more about him, Westwood cant help but fall in lovebut how in the world would that work in this society and will Robin return the feelings? ** So Im not a fan of Steam Punk but Im a huge fan of Rhys and Greg so I had to take this opportunity to check out this audiobook, even though I was a bit worried. I shouldnt have worried. Rhys fills this short story full of magic, poetry, humor and love. Poor Robin is so misunderstood, a man ahead of his time, and its obvious that once someone learns what his true heart is, they cant help but love him. Westwood wastes no time holding a grudge and we move quickly from the point of the story where he might hate Robin to a point where he really understands him instead. Though this is a very short story we get a lot of world building, a fair bit of crazy contraptions and magic, some humor, a few heart string pulling feels, a bit of passion and, all in all, a delightful little romance. I loved the grandmother and felt the believability of these two having a relationship in this time period was really well explained. Greg, as always, does a wonderful job with the narration giving us an unobtrusive British accent more a hint than full blown- and he absolutely added to my overall enjoyment of this story. For fans of the genre I think youll love this, for people out there like me maybe a bit scared to try it dont be. It was really sweet and wonderful and worth the exploration. For both the story and the narration 4.5 of 5 stars Steam Punk, Dystopian-esque What did you love best about Clockwork Tangerine?

Ive read the ebook version before but decided to get the audiobook to complete the set since I bought The Mating of Michael (it was narrated by Michael Stallman I had to) and I did enjoy how Tommy OBrien narrated The Trouble with Tony. This story involves Daniel, a workaholic, somewhat ruthless, businessman who believed his entire life that he was straight, who suddenly realizes hes attracted to his old college roommate and current business partner, Nick. Nick is a bisexual man trapped in a loveless marriage, with two kids, and hasnt had sex with his wife in more than three years. Hes always been attracted to Daniel but never thought anything would come of it since Daniel was straight. Some people might be bothered by the fact that Daniel and Nick get together before Nick is completely free of his wife, but its not written as a sordid affair, and the guys dont actually sneak around. They get discovered fairly quickly, too, so its not like it was a long running deception which is why it didnt bother me even though I hate cheating spouses (plus, the wife has her own secrets).It was also nice that the wife wasnt completely vilified, unlike a lot of m/m romances where the women are evil with no redeeming qualities. Although she does start off pretty horrible, she becomes one of the more sympathetic characters. It helps that the story is told from multiple character POVs (though the majority of the narrative is Daniel and Nick, so dont worry if you dont like headhopping. Its not like the first Cut & Run book which was terrible when it came to switching POVs) so you have an idea of whats really going on in her head. I even felt sorry for her when Daniel uses, what will be to some, quite a ruthless tactic to get her to release Nick, but everyone gets their HEA in the end and it was almost necessary because she was being completely unreasonable with denying Nick a divorce. I know the premise of this story has all the elements of heavy drama-Llama, but it actually remains fairly light and never got too heavy. This is not never-ending angst. It helps that the characters are likeable and relatable even when you want to slap them, and there are splashes of humor here and there. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Let-the-Wrong-Light-In-Audiobook/B01KZNJCU0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fantastic characters and and excellent story If you could sum up Let the Wrong Light In in three words, what would they be? interesting, unique & hot What was one of the most memorable moments of Let the Wrong Light In? totally can't answer that without spoiling something... Which character as performed by Derrick McClain was your favorite? Malin Who was the most memorable character of Let the Wrong Light In and why? again, Malin - what an amazing life he has led, and how he grows through his relationship with Avery is so well done... really a terrific story. Any additional comments? Read it or listen to it, Let the Wrong Light In is a fantastic book. Don't Let The WRONG Book In What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Nothing romantic about this story and I don't get the whole domination thing. Call me old fashioned, but there's nothing erotic about slapping, choking, gagging, etc. etc....One guy is a player and the other an abrasive ass. The characters are superficial at best and totally unlikable. Has Let the Wrong Light In turned you off from other books in this genre? The genre of bad books? Well sure. What does Derrick McClain bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? No issues with narration. The guy can only do so much... If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Let the Wrong Light In? After 4 painful hours, I did play editor and quit, which takes me back to not enjoying the whole BDSM thing. Any additional comments? Major disappointment. I've read other books by this author that were very good. Some major issues, but I ended up liking it. Wooooah, this one was a DOOZY! Lots of stuff to cover here, folks. When I give 3-stars, it's usually because I liked a book but didn't really like it. In this case, the 3-stars is because there were parts that I really liked and parts that I hated, and those balanced each other out. I didn't know much about this book when I started, to be honest. I don't read blurbs that often or that well, and I just saw Avon Gale's name and I knew that I had to have it. I love Avon Gale's Scoring Chances series (Breakaway), and I really wanted to read more from her. To start, I had issues with the third person, present tense format. I really don't like present tense, and it sounded awkward in audio. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sweetwater-Audiobook/B01JO7GPZS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: SO full of angst! Ok. So, first if you know Lisa Henry, she writes dark stories, full of angst and pain. This is NO DIFFERENT. Im not sure what I was thinking I guess I got suckered in by the deaf part and saw that Dorian Bane was narrating and figured it would be good? Ok, its not that its not good it is. Lisa Henry can really write. But man it was painful. Really, really, really, really painful. Especially for someone who doesnt like/appreciate BDSM. Elijah only feels shame at his desires, so he uses pain in his sexual encounters to help atone. Even with Grady, who treats him nicely, he wants it rough. For me, thats uncomfortable. So be warned. Since its the Wild West, the gay thing is kinda accepted sort of. Elijahs upbringing makes him feel guilty like going to hell guilty but hes got all sorts of other things going on to make him feel even more guilty so yeah. More pain. Their courtship is what youd expect from two guys living on the verge of death. They cant really spend a lot of time and energy on feelings, but there are some. Again, sort-of. I guess this is like a hurt/comfort romance without a lot of comfort. Grady tries, but Elijahs pain runs deep and Grady only has so much he can do. Couple it with the fact that Grady lives outside the law for most of the book and he cant make a lot of promises or do a lot to change things for Elijah. When Elijah finally takes matters in his own hands in a way that was very unexpected! he sort of has an epiphany that things will have to change and he wants to do that for them both. Dorian Bane has the best western accents and he did a great job setting the dusty trail, saloon-door bangin, twang that youd expect from these guys. He shines with dialog, and does a fair job with the non-dialog parts. I wish hed done more to alter Elijahs voice Elijah wasnt born deaf but I do think hed sound different But thats a small niggle. All in all, I think if you know the author and what that means as far as a story line goes, expect only a HFN because really, with the time period, etcetera, only a bald fairy tale would offer anything different and you dont mind/like BDSM type stories this will be up your alley. If you were expecting anything remotely light and comforting, keep looking. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Midwinter-Prince-Audiobook/B01MTYKZ5L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Loved it the second time around! Would you listen to A Midwinter Prince again? Why? I read this novel when it was first released and posted this review on GR Another memorable read by Harper Fox. Laurie is an extremely engaging character as is the dark and mysterious, Sasha. This story is part fairy tale, part mystery, with a healthy dose of Harper Fox angst. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it without hesitation. The audio version performed by the amazing Rusty Coles brings these characters to life. Once again, I was caught up in this beautiful tale. Highly Recommended. very enjoyable listening experience Ruzty Coles does a wonderful job of bringing the words of Harper Fox to life. Highly recommend this audio book. Sublime performance. Gritty, emotional story Would you consider the audio edition of A Midwinter Prince to be better than the print version? A well chosen performance artist will enhance a wonderful book every time. That is certainly the case here. Listening to it, I definitely felt as though the characters were actual people putting on a play in my ears. The narrator, Rusty Coles, did a superb and deft job of voicing each character distinctly and putting the perfect emotional inflection in all scenes. What did you like best about this story? The beautiful, flowing prose with which Harper Fox weaves her stories. The events in this story are unexpected, difficult to predict - yet surprising in the best way. The two characters of Laurie and Sasha are contradictions, yet are very much the same at heart. They make for convincing couple that I was rooting for all the way. I felt each moment of heartbreak, each triumph, each hug. Which character as performed by Rusty Coles was your favorite? Laurie. It's his story and he's in every scene. Coles voiced him just as I would have hoped. If you could take any character from A Midwinter Prince out to dinner, who would it be and why? It would be the detective from Interpol. He was a real stand up guy to Laurie and Sasha and imagine the stories he could tell. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lesbian-Pulp-Fiction-Audiobook/B007JMZOLC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the overheated prose typical of the genre, this collection documents the emergence of a lesbian subculture in postwar America. These stories had one drawback. They were excerpts from full novels, so they never felt as if you got the whole story. But each one clearly described an earth-shaking event in the life of a particular woman.

What made the experience of listening to Tart and Sweet (Candy Man) the most enjoyable? The combination of Philip Alces' narration & Amy Lane's writing style for this series is perfection. What did you like best about this story? I really enjoyed seeing all the previous characters from the other books. Also, I love how this series was written. Such a great combination of funny, light hearted romance combined with just the right amount of conflict & angst. Have you listened to any of Philip Alcess other performances before? How does this one compare? I have listed to a few other books narrated by Philip Alces, so far they have all been a very good listen. Any additional comments? Definitely recommend this audiobook, but listen to the others in the series first or you'll be missing out. Another great addition to this series:funny, sweet This is book four in a series and I guess in theory- you dont have to read these in order but ya should! Without reading about Adam and Finn, you really cant truly appreciate Robbie and why its such an AMY thing to do to give him his own book! Also, Ezra and Miguel's book also gives you insight as to why Ezra has to be the one to help Robbie. On Facebook we had a long discussion Mary and Amy and all the peeps about whether or not Robbie even WAS redeemable and a lot of people thought he wasn't well she managed to find a way. At first you think Robbie was a true a-hole. He dumped Adam in the middle of a war-zone and left him high and dry, knowing what that could potentially do to him. And we, as readers, are already very invested in making Adam (and Finn) happy so how can we look at Robbie and root for him? Well---- there are some things we learn that help for sure but I think the most important lesson Amy teaches us is that anything (I guess within reason!) can be forgiven if you really mean it and are determined to not be that guy anymore. Thats awesome because who doesnt want to believe they can outgrow their mistakes, right? In any case we now get to see just what makes Robbie tick and learn more about the bi-sexual and oh so tempting Cy (who briefly thought about pursuing our Ezra). And for me this is HUGE we get to see Mickey and Shane again!!!! WOOOOOT! Of course I devoured this in one sitting the minute I got it and I loved every last bit of it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bitter-Taffy-Audiobook/B017OAK9U4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

From Candy Man we meet Rico, Adams cousin who is in New York doing an internship who has just admitted to Adam that hes gay and has found his love in Manhattan. The book opens with Rico and Ezra (the lover) breaking up spectacularly when Ezras dad discovers their relationship. Rico moves back to Sacramento (almost 2 months early) heartbroken, happy that Adam and the miraculous Finn are there to help him heal. And of course theres Darrin, the psychic candy shop owner who knew Rico was on his way before Rico did. Rico gets hooked up with Derek, the provider of Art jobs for Adam, both romantically and as an employer. But it doesnt always go smoothly, Rico is seriously cautious and doesnt want a repeat of his last workplace romance. In the end, Dereks perfection and his persistence pay off and we get another HEA. ** What I LOVED about this story, besides seeing so much of Finn and Adam, was how much healing we got to see Rico go through. His family is SO toxic and it takes some serious balls for him to come out not just for himself but for Adams sake as well and he does it so well! I loved how steadfast both Derek and Finn were and what good examples their families provided for both Rico and Adam. Of course the pets are wonderful as are Darrin and the other secondary characters. Reading this is EXACTLY like a trip to your favorite candy store. You know you will be sad when the book/candy is over/gone but you just have to devour it as quickly as you can because its so enjoyable! I cant wait for Ezras story and for these to come out on Audio. So, so wonderful! 6 of 5 stars Audio Philip Alces is seriously growing on me. I really love his character voices for Finn and Derek and though I wish hed done more for the Hispanic accents of Rico and Adam, he overcomes that with his wit and humor and his timing. I highly recommend this audiobook and the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Shattered-Door-Audiobook/B014I2RKF8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Prior to listening to this story, many of the reviews kept using the word powerful. After experiencing the journey of Brooklyn Morrison, powerful is the only word that describes this story. The author addresses many misguided perspectives and intertwines that with little bits of truth, hope, and love. As horrific as Rose is (not going to give anything away), she is an all too familiar character. That can be said about most of the characters that Brandon Witt created to tell Brooklyn's story. The religious components of the story explored and explained many aspects that run parallel with my own viewpoints. A powerful story by Witt as well as exceptionally delivered by Andrew McFerrin's narration. From my perspective, A Must Read/Listen. I'll Read Anything Brandon Witt Writes Would you consider the audio edition of The Shattered Door to be better than the print version? I've not read the text copy, but I imagine I would have heard it the same way it was read by the narrator. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Shattered Door? For me, it was the moment in which he'd gone to his mother's to air his grievances about her actions. Have you listened to any of Andrew McFerrins other performances before? How does this one compare? I don't think I'd heard him before. He did great. If you could rename The Shattered Door, what would you call it? A Purgatory Named Mother. Any additional comments? Fantastic book. It leads away from cliche's and stereotypes, much like Witt's other book, Then The Stars Fall. His style is impressive and thorough. His characters speak believably, as opposed to other gay novelists that try too hard. Brandon Witt is amazing The Shattered Door hit me deep inside when I read originally read it and the audio version had a similar affect. Its a deeply emotional tale that I believed included a lot of the authors soul. I think the plotting is bit off and was more interested in Brookes life in El Dorado then his life before he came home. Early parts of the book dragged for me, but I was enthralled once Brooke came home. The book deals with tough subjects such as homosexuality in religion and parental abuse but Witt does an amazing job with the issues. He has a stellar skill that is displayed here and it is amazing. Brooke is a unique character and I loved reading about everything he had to deal with. I also loved Brookes family members, especially Donny. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Aden-Audiobook/B01BG84S3E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Aden, a handsome young nurse, is destitute after his new boyfriend rumbles away in his semi with everything Aden owns in the back. He has no money, no clothes, and no car. Nothing. Maybe his boyfriend really didn't intend to take him to California to live happily ever after. Dr. Dare O'Roarke has everything.... Dare has the perfect life - a lovely home, nice things, a fulfilling job as a surgeon in a New Mexico community where his services are desperately needed. He has it all...but someone to share it with. The young man huddled at the side of the road needs help. And Dare is happy to provide assistance in reclaiming his belongings and offers his guesthouse to rent...and a job recommendation. But someone is after Aden.... Someone terrifyingly determined wants to take him away from his happy life and the growing attraction between Aden and Dare. Soon, the sheriff's department, the FBI, Aden's mother, and two new dogs and cats are trying to protect Aden. Will it be enough to protect Aden and Dare from a madman? Members Reviews: A truly wonderful story. This has to be one of my favorite stories ever. Aden started off as a guy who was kicked out of his home at a young age because he told his mother he was gay. He then ran into trouble trying to find himself and the love and affection he was lacking in his life. He then runs into a wonderful doctor by the name of Dare and he helps him in more ways than one. There in the small town of New Mexico Aden finds that he is worth more than he thought he was. He also finds that a man that he thought was a sleeze ball of an ex was actually someone much worse. Aden finds he will need the new friends and the help of the sweet doctor to help him survive the life threatening trouble to come. I can't wait for the next book! Jeff narrated this story so well so I hope he continues narrating AC's books! This is a must-have! Strong Men This story is very full of wonderful strong caring men. I wasn't sure when I started if it would be too dramatic but I'm so glad I stuck it out. This story moves at a good clip with stated time gaps to show elapsed time so the building relationship between Aden and Dave makes sense while still keeping the story moving. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Formulaic and a bit melodramatic I was okay with this book - it wasn't anything amazing or awful - it just kind of is what it is. The story-line is incredibly formulaic, the characters are pretty two-dimensional, with a clear effort by the author to keep them from being that. I have some real trouble with the wounded soul/survivor who is also so naive as to be painful nature of Aden's character, and I think that much of the dialog borders on hysterical (and not in the ha-ha I can't stop laughing way). If you are in the mood for an old-school harlequin romance featuring two men instead of the traditional het couples of the books they churned out in the 70's and 80's then this book might fit the mood. Not s good story. Narrator was not very good. Storyline is weak. Might not want to waste your money or credit. Good book Good story I can not wait for the chapter installment and went is next one is https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Worth-the-Coming-Home-Audiobook/B00IRI2L5E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? No. The narration was not very good (see full review below) What other book might you compare Worth the Coming Home to and why? L.C. Chase's pick up men series, as far as the writing and storyline goes. Both are similar with stories and topics. Would you be willing to try another one of John Solos performances? No. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? no comment Any additional comments? Tams e-book review May of 2013 Josh Brooks is the dedicated horse whisperer on the Ranch hes called home for over half his life. He and his brother, Jesse, live with their aunt and uncle having lost their parents when they were children. He hides his sexuality from everyone except his best friend for fear of their reaction. Dane is Jesses best friend, the guys met while in the military serving in Afghanistan. Having separated himself from dont ask, dont tell all Dane wants is to live his life a little more open than the military allowed. He travels to Montana per invitation from Jesse and begins working with the brothers on the ranch. The attraction between Dane and Josh is electric and downright explosive. Can two closeted gay men maintain a relationship when they cant even be honest with their friends and family about who they are? Hell, they cant even be honest with themselves! Their only saving grace might just be the fact that they can actually be honest with each other. Someone is watching. Someone has targeted Josh and his precious horses. After Josh is outed very publically and painfully, he withdraws from everyone and everything. Except his horses. Owens has managed to blend several highly debated topics within an engrossing storyline and keep it in good taste. Homophobia, hatred, ignorance and PTSD coupled with love, compassion and family values. But after Josh is hurt not once, but twice, Dane leaves feeling like hes failed and he cant protect him. Can Josh convince the man he loves that hes worth coming home to? I will warn you, if you arent a fan of dominant/submissive relationships, this may not be the book for you. It is in no way, shape or form a bad thing in this storyline. Dane is the alpha male, the dominant in the relationship. Josh is submissive and he loves it, he wants Dane to take control and I assure you, hes never forced into anything. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Foreign-Range-Audiobook/B00CMEU0MA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Just Enough Andrew Grey kicked the hay out of the paddy on this one. I would have rated it 5 stars, except the song lyrics were kind of hokey, but the story line was flawless. There was just enough stardom, music, suspense, connection to Range Series, love, pain, honesty and sex. All the characters from Maria to Steve and Willie were outgoing, perceptive and kind enough. The story seemed real enough, to me. I got to a point, I couldn't put the book down. I laughed, cried, hated and loved it all, just enough. It honestly makes me want to find my own home on the range. Kudos! He sings of the range, now he is falling for the range A Foreign Range: Stories from the Range #4 By Andrew Grey Mr. Grey does it again! He takes us back to the wild ranches of Wyoming and brings new characters to life and makes them so loveable you want to make them your best friend. He has created a new ranch, this one with horse training, and a scared young man that knows what he wants and a world weary country singer that thinks he can't have what he wants. Wilson Edwards wants to just be himself; he wants to be a cowboy, living on his own land, doing the things he has only sung about for the past ten years as Willie Meadows. So he buys a little spread in Wyoming and totally upsets his manager and friend, Howard by moving out there and selling all his LA holdings. Oh, the catch that really upsets Howard... he isn't allowed to move out there with him. He also has to find his own place with Wilson selling off his LA holding, where Howard has been living the past ten years, he thought rent free. Steve Peterson came to the ranch expecting to find a working horse farm, but he found nothing, everything had been cleared out. He is running from his fanatical father who thinks he can be `cured' of being gay. With all the empty stalls he finds at the ranch, Steve also finds Wilson, who offers him a safe place to sleep and some food. Then when the only place Steve has to go is back to the empty stalls till he plans his next move, he finds a job offer being handed to him, by his dream man. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Heat-Under-Fire-Audiobook/B01CITJ4IE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice addition to the series This is part of a series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. Justin is a young police officer who has a hard time picking up guys because he gets a dry mouth and freezes up. When he ends up helping EMT Rock to rescue a bus load of kids, he finally finds someone who helps him to crack through his shyness and lets him be himself. But their road isnt easy. It takes several exposures to Rock before Justin can talk and they keep running into dangerous situations! On top of that Justins mom is absolutely evil and tries to keep them apart. Eventually, Justin (whos a virgin!) and Rock find their HEA and Justin finds a way to tell his mother off, too! ** I am a fan of Andrew Grey and most of the time the way he writes, the characters he creates and the feels he elicits hit the mark for me. In this case, there were a few elements missing to really grab me and pull me into the story. I think the short length forced the story to move at a pace that was more telling and less showing. Justins shyness problem is really over developed and were told that its a big problem but were not really shown that very well. We are also told that Rock is interested in Justin and he definitely butts into his life very quickly, but we arent shown why hes interested. When Rock confronts Justin it seemed too intuitive for the amount of time the MCs had spent together. It also felt too soon when Rock confronts Justins mother, for the same reasons. I thought the number of dangerous situations these guys were in diminished the time they could have been building their relationship, and sometimes I wondered at their motivation. For example, when in the diner, only Justin goes investigating while the clearly-more-dominant Rock sits quietly and waits. When the MCs do begin to explore their relationship it went from zero to sixty (I cant talk to you to ILY) again with minimal build up. I also thought the mothers intervention was a bit OTT and unbelievable given the rest of story. So, by the end, while I was really happy for the HEA and pleased that Justins mom got told off, I didnt feel the feels I usually do when I finish a good Andrew Grey book. Audio Paul Morey does his always-reliable job of giving Rock a nice deep alpha voice and Justin a nice, but not-too-twinkish voice. He definitely enhanced the story with his ability to relate emotion and I always enjoy his work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Life-after-Joe-Audiobook/B004BCX3TI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: love the story, not the narration I own both the text and audio versions of this story. Although it's a short story, it's still one of my favorite of all romances. Harper Fox is a very talented writer -- and you can see that here in her depiction of Matthew's despair and desolation, as well as in the vivid descriptions of Newcastle, the helicopter, and the oil rig in addition to the romance itself. Unfortunately, the narrator doesn't do any justice to this great story. He is working hard to present a "Geordie" (Newcastle) accent, but it's pretty obvious that he isn't a native (I've been listening to a lot of genuine Geordie accents, and this one just doesn't cut it). And in his attempts to replicate that accent, the narrator has completely forgotten about the character of the story. Matthew, the main character and narrator, is in the final stages of complete disintegration -- he's coming apart at the seams. As another character tells him, he's "in bits". Yet the narrator here makes Matthew sound nearly cocky and bouncy. It's all wrong. And it's quite disturbing to hear a fine story being distorted in this way. My advice is to stick with the text version on this one. If you appreciate good writing, you should check it out. Don't give up on Harper Fox just based on the bad narration here. Good Story, Terrible Narration Would you try another book from Harper Fox and/or Sean Crisden? I love Sean Crisden, but I'm just not sure this is the same Sean Crisden I love. This was terribly difficult to understand. What didnt you like about Sean Crisdens performance? Very hard to understand Another wonderful story I really enjoyed this book. The narration was a bit difficult to understand the first four or five times I listened to it, but after you get used to the accent it is a wonderful ride. It is now on my favorites list of books I listen to every few weeks. Just lovely Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? At first the narration was a bit difficult to follow, but it was certainly worth it. Enjoy! great gem If you could sum up Life after Joe in three words, what would they be? Like opening a gift box to find a diamond, rather than a tie. great characters , altho I have to confess the first audio scene bothered me and I almost gqave up , not into exhibitionism etc. but wow once it progressed and I learned the reasons behind the occurrence; I'm glad I pressed on. It was a gem What other book might you compare Life after Joe to and why? trick of time. It had the same surprise under the wrapper. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Art-of-Peeling-an-Orange-Audiobook/B01NBAZ3BG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I know I will listen to it time and time again. What other book might you compare The Art of Peeling an Orange to and why? I'd compare this story to The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and Fingersmith by Sarah Waters in terms of the feel and atmosphere as well as the twists and turns of the plot. Any additional comments? I just finished listening to The Art of Peeling an Orange last night--and started it again this morning--and WOW! What a great book. It was exquisitely written, superbly paced, and the characters so well drawn, I feel like they are people in my life.. It truly is one of the best books I've read in a VERY long time. I do have to say, for my sentimental heart, I appreciated the alternate ending, but having said that, I also feel it simply made it a different book, not a better one. The original ending, whereas it was unexpected and left some grieving to be done, was powerful and gave the story the element of a reminder that not all stories in life end happily by conventional standards. Victoria Avilan is a fantastic writer. She conveys the characters and details of the plot in such beautiful writing and depth that I couldnt stop once I started. There are so many different experiences that she portrays in ways that make the reader feel the experience rather than simply read about itart, from the artists perspective; the torment of perceived betrayal; heartbreak; the all-consumption of love; the destructive nature of secrets; to name just a few. There is one element in particular that I found so vividly accurate from my own experience, but if I mention it directly, a significant plot point would be revealed. So I wont. Suffice it to say, Avilan definitely has a gift. I highly recommend this book to readers who love the rich texture of a deep, well told story. Now, back to my second time through The Art of Peeling an Orange. Unique This is very well written...what an amazing mind to come up with such words. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Good-Fight-Audiobook/B00OZ4ZTSK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Compelling story well researched Jerry is a computer whiz who left San Francisco to move in to his late grandfathers house in South Dakota after a bad break-up. John is a Native American trying to regain custody of his twin sisters kids and he ends up working for Jerry. The beginning is a short flirtation period that quickly results in a passionate relationship. The majority of the book is the couple working together to fight CPS for Johns rights to adopt his own niece and nephew, followed by a small hiccup when the couple must decide where to live. John and Jerrys love story is very passionate and deep and develops with little effort. Most of the struggle in this book is the fight for the kids. I found it fascinating that this is based on real stories where the government tried to keep Native American kids from their families. I know Andrew does a ton of research and it shows in this book. As a romance, I would rate this book in the 3.0-3.5 range because it didnt have a lot of strife but the chemistry was hot and the couple was really devoted to one another. Because the Native American stuff is so interesting, as a story I give it an overall higher rating of 4 stars. Audio: Andrew McFerrin did a great job with Johns accent and a nice job with the overall emotions in the story. Sometimes he is a little too much with the childrens voices but I really enjoyed listening to this and would give it 4 of 5 stars. Overall Impression: 4 stars I really liked it https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Between-Ghosts-Audiobook/B01N9E8G0J Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Bloody Brilliant one of the best audios of this year, any year.,this is tied for number one Gripping story, awesome narration Garrett Leigh is a gifted writer who knows how to reach into your chest and drag your heart out. Even her light stuff has some width and breadth to it. One impression I am left with, outside the romance, is the strong feelings about war and the military and the perspective from another standpoint. Beyond just being about Connor, Pogo or Nats experiences overseas, its also a bit of a commentary on the whole Middle East as a political issue. Not to say its preachy, its more subtle than that, but it doesnt shy away from making it clear just how brutal and often senseless war can be. The other impression that sticks with me is how very British this is. Especially since I was listening to this (with an amazing narrator!) I really felt immersed through the language and the slang. (I have to admit that sometimes I wasnt exactly sure what the slang was referring to, but I got the general gist.) I didnt love the connection between Nat and Connor I think Id have needed to see them more as a couple in a non-life-or-death situation for me to really feel that they have what it takes. I also thought, despite the super dramatic ending, their reunion was a bit blasé for me. I really wanted them to feel it when back in each others arms and instead it was a bit flat. I think that fans of war romances, and the author, and for fans who love their angst this is a great story for you! 4 of 5 stars Audio I had avoided the book originally because Im not a fan of war romances. I just dont have a heart for the pain and suffering and so I tend to veer more toward the light and fluffy. But I LOVE this narrator. Hes absolutely amazing! He is so good at making the listener feel like part of the story. His accents are just so authentic and varied and do a lot to make the language (slang etcetera) ring true. This is SUCH a British story and having Craig Beck narrate it really gave each of the MCs and the secondary characters a solid presence. As a way to enjoy this story I think the audiobook is a MUST. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/What-Can-Be-Audiobook/B01AB0IBYK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A novella from the Dreamspinner Press 2011 Advent Calendar package I'll Be Home for Christmas Members Reviews: Emotion packed novella Any additional comments? I love that there's quite a bit of emotion packed into this novella and that it also includes a sprinkling of angst and some heated sexy times. If I have one complaint it's that I would have liked for the end to have been fleshed out a bit more, but that's more about me being greedy and wanting more of these characters than anything else. Please note: This is classic Calmes - where the main character - Eli/Jake - is beautiful and beloved by all, and...well if you're a Calmes fan you know how it goes. Just sayin'. Robert Nieman is a new to me narrator. I enjoyed his style; he was really good at conveying the emotional depth of the story and characters and he brought out the angst of the storyline without making it a caricature. I'm a bit bummed that he didn't really do character voices, which would usually worry me, but he delineated enough in his tone that I wasn't confused when multiple characters were conversing. Sure, I would have preferred a bit more on that end, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of the narration on a whole. All in all I enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. -shaky sigh- Just a Beautiful Story Any additional comments? "When love trumps passion, you knew you were with the right guy." This tale of loss and found is exactly how I need and want my romances to be. I mean I sighed, I actually freakin' sighed with this feeling of 'everything is right in the world' once the last word was spoken and that short music theme that reminds you you've just listened to a Mary Calmes tales. This story lovely, heartbreaking tale of Jake/Eli love loss and found had the exact amount of emotion, love, self loathing, understanding the true meaning of true love (my god, Eli's mom, I can't even imagine), and acceptance. Robert Nieman was perfection in his narration of this story for me. -sniff...sniff- I think I fell in love with his voice a little bit. Wow, great story Eli leaves with his mother for a summer vacation and disappears for 13 years. The story evolves and you are sucked in for the ride. Great story, great characters and Robert Nieman does a wonderful job of the narration. dramatic and emotionally draining story Any additional comments? What I don't like, the way Eli refuses to talk about his past is a tad too long after several chapters. Plus, I have to admit that the story is a bit melodramatic. Not my favorite from Mary Calmes . Too much randomness and everything was too convenient. Not her best but I enjoyed it Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This is a fun quick listen to book when you just need to close your eyes and relax. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Good-Bones-Audiobook/B0182SLX0W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: New shifter series great narration Dylan is an architect in Portland, OR who lives for his work and longs for romance, but hasnt found it. One night he hooks up with an enigmatic man, Andy, who ends up being an evil werewolf that attacks Dylan, making Dylan a werewolf as well. Now, once a month, Dylan has to lock himself down or end up on the streets of Portland, killing innocents. Chris is a country bumpkin with a past. Hes poor white trash and lives basically on a shoe string budget doing various handyman type jobs. When Dylan moves in next door hes sure that hes being judged by the uppity hipster but cant refuse the extra cash offered to help with renovating Dylans new cabin. Eventually both men succumb to their attraction for the other but both are hiding some deep, dark secrets. The question is, is what they have strong enough to survive those secrets coming to light? ** This is a shifter story more like the werewolf stories of old. Dylan isnt part wolf, he only becomes the monster once a month and he hates it. Chris feelings of inadequacy and his shame stemming from his past keep him from allowing Dylan in. Dylan wont let anyone close for fear he might hurt them. Kim Fielding is an amazing writer and this book is no exception. Shes developed a plausible world wherein things do go bump in the night. She found a way to keep Dylans experience a tragedy, yet with a silver lining. (I loved all the Portland references! Yay Stumptown! I totally cried laughing at the womens house SO PORTLAND it needs to be green, and exotic, but not too exotic and make a statement, but not too much of a statement and youll know its right because it will FEEL right so spot on!) Audio: Nick J Russo narrates this and his voice is DIVINE. He does a lovely growly Dylan and a perfectly hick Chris. Together they have some serious chemistry. Nick always does an excellent job with his acting and I really loved the final scene where Dylan and Chris admit their feelings to one another. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Glen-Tylers-Honeymoon-Adventure-Audiobook/B00DD61ZXY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Who was your favorite character and why? Glen! I love Glen..he is so sweet!! Have you listened to any of Brian Rollinss other performances before? How does this one compare? No, but I would, he is very enthusiastic! I like that in a narrator!!! If you could rename Glen & Tyler's Honeymoon Adventure, what would you call it? Honeymoon Hi-jinks!!!! Any additional comments? ** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ** Ok, These guys make me totally LOL!!!! This is a sweet love story of 2 really great guys, who have been besties for years and discover that they really are meant for each other....Glen offers to marry Tyler to help him get his inheritance....not knowing that they would really fall in love...well they do and it is so sweet...They are all over each other through most of this book and I loved it! I could of done without some of the hockey stuff..but the adventure was super great! There is an erotic story of there wedding night that I bought and am going to read...its a short novella...and I bet its sweet and sexy!! Go into this book with an open mind, and just enjoy the ride...it is well worth your time and a credit...I will continue this series!!!! Thank You Audiobookblast(dot)com A fun romantic comedy What did you like best about this story? I loved the fact that the book was light and happy. Yes, there was drama re: Tyler's family but for the most part it was just good fun. What does Brian Rollins bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I liked the fact that Glen and Tyler were just normal guys who happened to by gay. No biggie! Mr Rollins' narration is perfect for this book. He gives the guys each their own voice and has a knack for drawing you into the story. I look forward to listening to more work by Mr. Rollins. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? In the beginning when Glen was coming around to his feelings for Tyler. In fact, Glen went back to an old friend whom he used to tease for advice. Glen was just wanting to be sure of his feelings. Any additional comments? Glen and Tyler's Honeymoon Adventure is a great way to start a series. We meet Tyler just when he is about to turn 25 and needs to get married to inherit his trust fund. With no prospects in sight, Glen asks Tyler to marry him. Once they are married, Glen and Tyler both realize that this feels natural and are happy with the marriage Tyler is shocked to find that his trust is worth more that he ever expected. They are both getting used to the amount of money that they now have when attempts on their lives start to happen. Who is behind these attacks and will they be caught? I really liked this book. I feel like Mr. Sanders knew that we needed a m/m romance that wasn't all tragic or where one of the characters came to the relationship 'broken'. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Making-a-Comeback-Audiobook/B01DE31346 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I loved the ability of the characters to use music as metaphors. Jazz is an amazing source of story and emotion. Character voice consistency is so very important to audio adaptation of a stories words. Jac, dad, Hannah, etc. were all consistent. Liz went from high or alto to basso when she was away from Jac, almost like listening to Jac speaking Liz's parts. For that matter, opposite female voices sounded like Jac or one of the males. It was distracting. Otherwise, I say again, it is a great story. Fantastic story, meh narrator I loved this story. Good writing, good pacing. The narration was distracting, though. Jac sounded so robotic, I thought it was one of those computer generated voices. Still, I got used to it after a while. Toward the end of the book, however, the narrator missed the voice switch a few times and read another character's part in Jac's voice. The producer should have caught that and re-recorded that segment. Indecision May, or May Not Be My Problem I was attempting a witty headline but it really is hard to rate or review this book. I almost gave up on this selection a couple of hours into the story; partially due to the deary nature of the text, but mainly because of Fray Maxwell; aka, the monotone narrator. Except when she did Jac; a supposedly hot woman with a voice deeper than 90% of the dudes I know. Thankfully I stuck with the story and there were moments of writing brilliance and the narrator had some moments when she was actually competent. I suppose the answer to that question depends on how much you like lez fiction and how much you already have. A memorable book There are some books that you read and they just stick with you. This is one of those books for me. I am a fan of many types of music, but I really haven't listened to jazz music. The way that the author made the music it's own character of the book is what made this book stand out from others that I have read recently. As all books both of the main characters have a past to recover from, but this author has a great way of teasing you along the way to want to stay and hear/read the story. I would definitely read this again and recommend this for a great read/listen. Great story I loved the story, the characters were well developed and interesting. But the narrator gave a robotic voice to Jack, and I didnt like that, I understand that she wanted to portray someone who is reclusive but it was too much... I would have preferred she read in one voice without changing for the different characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dinner-at-Fiorellos-Audiobook/B01C4T4OD8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Warm and Wonderful. This is a gorgeous little gem of an audiobook. And the performance gave it a very cinematic feel... i could really imagine it at as a movie in my mind. Silver spoon raised Henry loves to cook and is torn between taking the law firm internship set up by his father or a dishwashing gig at a homey Italian restaurant. The chef, Vito, happens to be a brooding, mysterious hunk of Italian hotness (with a crazy sexy accent) who keeps Henry at a distance. There is a lot simmering beneath the surface and Reed does an amazing job developing the relationship and the damaged personalities of both lead characters. You find yourself rooting so much for these too and really invested. It's a beautiful story - and I loved how the story developed to make this relationship something much deeper than just two hot dudes hooking up. Leslie's performance, as usual, is excellent. His characterization as Vito is wonderful and handles the dialect beautifully - earthy and so sexy. I loved the matriarchs in the story - Vito's mom, the restaurant owner and Henry's housekeeper. I'm certainly going to look out for more from Reed... this was a fabulous story and a great performance. The narration is well done & the writing lovely Any additional comments? Henry Appleby is eighteen and basically has his life laid out for him: he'll intern at his father's Chicago law firm, go to NYU in the fall, and eventually become a lawyer just like his father. However, Henry doesn't want that life. He dreams of being a chef, and is at his happiest around food. While struggling with the possibility of disappointing his parent's expectations, he's also dealing with the betrayal of a friend, and finding out his parent's are fallible as well. Vito Carelli lost everything one night over a year ago. He draws his grief around himself like a cloak and keeps everyone at arms length. He lives for three things, his mother, his two beloved dogs, and his job as Executive Chef at Fiorello's. When Henry takes a summer job working as a dishwasher/busboy and sometimes sous chef at Fiorello's, it's not just his resemblance to Vito's lost love, but his persistent pursuit that begin to melt away the ice around Vito's heart. There were two things I loved about the story: first, is the vivid imagery Reed uses in creating this world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/New-York-Christmas-Audiobook/B0189OKJDQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good narration, wasn't feeling the romance This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? It was pretty light. If you want a light story about a man in need of being rescued, this might work for you What could RJ Scott have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I thought the protagonist was a bit too easily defeated and passive. I wasn't into the tongue-tied gibbering schoolkid crush he had on the other character What didnt you like about Sean Crisdens performance? I thought his performance was one of the few things I liked about this story. However the voice he used for the main character was the same voice he used for another story I listened too where the character was a minor. So it threw me off as the voice of an adult man. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I thought the author captured some of the joy and fun of the holidays. Short and Sweet Short and sweet. Holiday romance some. Set up as days before Christmas. Good cover. Great narrator. Sean Crisden did a good job. A good story. Some romance and some mild drama. Lots of different types of muffins. Nothing fabulous and nothing bad.. If you like short sweet romances told with good voice, this is a good choice. Sweet rediscovery of the one that got away. If you could sum up New York Christmas in three words, what would they be? Sweet, hopeful, festive. What did you like best about this story? That the two men wanted each other, but didn't know how the other felt. It took Daniel ten years to be ready to track down Chris, but it was so worth it! What does Sean Crisden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Sean's voices are amazing, he brings a real genuineness to the performance that is so enjoyable. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Daniel woke from the medically induced coma asking for Chris. Beautiful. Any additional comments? Such a great book, and so perfect for this time of year! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Green-Fairy-Audiobook/B00ETA04A8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It left me feeling speechless. What did you like best about this story? I'm not even sure where to begin with this one. Everything about this story is 10 layers deep. I don't want to say too much, because every detail is just so engrossing. It held my attention from start to finish, and not once did I feel board. As someone who is no stranger to the impending feeling of hopelessness life sometimes brings us, I felt very much for the main character. I was saddened, and even angry on his behalf. My feelings were a direct projection of how he himself felt about the book Confession. This is something I think everyone should read, and I think it could be appreciated but just about anyone. I strongly recommend it. Which character as performed by Jay Maxwell was your favorite? He did a really good job with all of them. The protagonist was probably best preformed, but I liked mostly all of them. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The whole thing really. It resonated very well with me. Any additional comments? What are you waiting for? Buy it already, you will not regret it. Why did I wait?! What made the experience of listening to Green Fairy the most enjoyable? OMFG Just finished the audio book version. Totally wishing I hadn't waited so long. The narrator did an excellent job! At a few points I wasn't totally sure there wasn't a second voice actor. His vocal range seems to be the spoken word equivalent of Freddie Mercury. I'm kind of ashamed to say I did avoid buying Green Fairy because it seemed a bit dark, but I'm glad I waited for the audio version. There are some stories that truly are better with the right voice behind them. Couldn't Stop Listening What made the experience of listening to Green Fairy the most enjoyable? Going into this, I had not read Kyell's "Green Fairy" yet. I was interested to see what it would be like hearing it before reading it. I was not disappointed. I am sure that if I had read the book I would have enjoyed it as well. Kyell is always great at making his characters seem so real. Listening to this audio rendition of the book took those seemingly, real characters and actually blew life into them. Jay Maxwell does an incredible job narrating the story as well as having unique voices for all the characters that fit well. Where ever I was in the story when I would pick it back up, I would get completely swept into Sol's story immediately. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-the-Eyes-of-Mr-Fury-Audiobook/B077KCX4CY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Devil's real name was Judge Martin, but Concord's mother called him the Devil. She said he boiled babies for dinner and made lampshades out of human skin. So why did she, who hated him so venomously, have a key to his house? The key will unlock more than just Judge's front door. It will also unlock a multitude of stories - where magic children talk to crows, men disappear in piles of leaves, and James Dean lookalikes kiss in dark alleys - and reveal a secret history that will change Concord's life forever. Philip Ridley's second novel (following the sexually charged tour de force Crocodilia) was an instant cult classic when originally published in 1989. Now, for this new edition, Ridley has reimagined the story, expanding the original novel into the world's first LGBT magical realist epic. A vast, labyrinthine, hall-of-mirrors saga, its breathtaking imagery and stunning plot twists - covering over a hundred years - reveal Ridley to be one of the most distinctive and innovative voices in contemporary fiction. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Philip Ridley) Wed, 22 Nov 2017 16:05:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-the-Eyes-of-Mr-Fury-Audiobook/B077KCX4CY thebookvoice.com 12:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

So why did she, who hated him so venomously, have a key to his house? The key will unlock more than just Judge's front door. It will also unlock a multitude of stories - where magic children talk to crows, men disappear in piles of leaves, and James Dean lookalikes kiss in dark alleys - and reveal a secret history that will change Concord's life forever. Philip Ridley's second novel (following the sexually charged tour de force Crocodilia) was an instant cult classic when originally published in 1989. Now, for this new edition, Ridley has reimagined the story, expanding the original novel into the world's first LGBT magical realist epic. A vast, labyrinthine, hall-of-mirrors saga, its breathtaking imagery and stunning plot twists - covering over a hundred years - reveal Ridley to be one of the most distinctive and innovative voices in contemporary fiction.

Members Reviews: Unexpected Gift Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Wholeheartedly, yes. This book is an experience and study of the human condition and the affects of romance and attraction on the lives of human kind. It was stunning to learn theses lessons with Concrod. Who was your favorite character and why? I have 4 favorite characters that I cannot seen to choose between. Mama Zep has a way of making someone feel at home and I enjoyed her character very much. While Concord had his own appeal in the story, despite being rather naive for the most part. He was the window by which we were given a view into the lives of people far too tangled together to ever truly be separated. I also have a great love for Cromwell. He is a breath of fresh air, a hope, a true future. And last, but not least, Petra. She may not be as important as some of the others, but she is courageous and true to herself and a true fighter. Mama Zep, Concord, Cormwell, and Petra were so important to me. Some throughout the whole story, others, I only came to see the importance of at the end. But they have all captured my heart fast and true. What does Matthew Lyon bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He gave a new life to the stories being told within this bigger tale. To be told these stories by Mama Zed, in her raspy, old lady voice, was a treat in the audiobook. While it is not impossible to hear these things when physically reading the book, Matthew truly gave me a chance to experience everything on a much deeper level, for I wasn't distracted by visual words. I was able to close my eyes and feel his voice bring life to these diverse, but no less important characters. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It make me thoughtful. There have been very few books that have truly given me pause to better take in the messages and lessons I've been enlightened with. I felt pity, anger, sadness, bitterness, regret, hate, self-assurance, pride, suffering, acceptance, understanding, and hurt. Sometimes I've felt most of these all at once. The journey was am amazing one and I was truly enraptured. Any additional comments? I went into this book questioning if I would actually enjoy it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mavericks-Mate-Audiobook/B00O7ZF5TA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Start of an epic series This is the 1st installment in the Brac pack series; and holy crap there are 32 books in this series. As I have said in previous reviews, I grade Siren books on a 1 - 3 scale b/c they are very basic, formulaic stories that follow a set pattern. However, some storylines and characters are better than others and I did enjoy this particular first installment and will continue the series. You really have to suspend belief with Siren books and just listen to the story as a fairytale and not have any expectations of realism. It has lots of mm sex, instalove, mate in danger, must save mate, HEA. That is the story, don't expect more. Now the narrator for this series is a whole other matter. He did a really good job and really makes the listen more enjoyable than reading the book. Finally, now where are the good ones in the series Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, I love this series by lynn hagen. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Made it longer with more detail on the characters and a little more build up. Did Johnny East do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Yes he did. Good job sir! Could you see Maverick's Mate being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Nope, that would be a porno. First and not the last. This is my first audiobook and I did not what to expect. I have 90% of the authors Ebooks and knew how this should flow. I was not disappointed. I will get all Lynn's audiobooks to match the ebooks I have gotten so far. Keep them coming Lynn. Read Hawks Pretty Baby Instead This book in the series is just before Hawk's Pretty Baby which covers the same content in a much more fun way. So buy Hawks Pretty Baby instead. A Sweet story If you could sum up Maverick's Mate in three words, what would they be? Interesting, sweet, great What did you like best about this story? It had a good story line. Which character as performed by Johnny East was your favorite? The lead role alpha Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? This was a great short story. It actually had a plot not just some steamy romps in the hay. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/5-Lesbian-Books-Series-Shondras-Lesbian-Love-Audiobook/B01JB2LH3Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Pullum took a step back and gave Shondra the once over, from her curly hair, to her chest, to her bare knees, down to her stilettos. Her eyes were neutrally discerning, as though appraising an empty wall. Mostly, Pullum stared into Shondra's eyes, trying to bring out words and thoughts Shondra had never dared express aloud. Instead of answering, Pullum turned her gaze from Shondra back to the painting. "What do you see in my painting, Shondra?" the beautiful female artist asked. Shondra did not answer. How could she tell Pullum that she wanted long, dainty fingers to clasp at her breasts? The wild vertical and horizontal lines gridlocking the women in the painting were like tender caresses of the fingers on one's body. How would Shondra be able to tell the lovely artist, it was exactly how she wanted another woman's fingers to travel up and down her voluptuous, curvy body? She derived no pleasure from men. The determined gaze of the woman in pleasuring her partner turned Shondra on even more. But how could she possibly bring herself to tell Pullum that? "I feel completely and totally naked under its artistry," Shondra admitted, quietly. Pullum smiled and nodded, satisfyingly. It was the correct answer.

Ashling Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Olympic figure skater Emory Lowe falls in lust the moment he lays eyes on his new neighbor, hockey player Nikolai Vetrov. On the surface, Nik is a typical badass enforcer, intimidating and dangerous, on and off the ice. The only son of Ukrainian immigrants, Nik has been groomed from childhood to fulfill his father's dreams of seeing him in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Igor guides his son toward that goal with a controlling - and abusive - hand, steering him clear of anyone who might ruin his chances. Although Emory is the US National Figure Skating champion, he's in-your-face gay, and his audacious persona rubs Nik and his family the wrong way. Raised by supportive and loving parents, Emory is Nik's polar opposite in every way but one - his desire to succeed. Underneath the fluff and glitter beats the heart of a fierce competitor, and this side of Emory's personality begins to close the distance between the two athletes. While the attraction is one-sided in the beginning, Nik finds himself responding to Emory's flirting. But before the incongruous pair have a chance at any sort of relationship, they must survive the pressures of career, separation, and most importantly, Igor's ruthless homophobia. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mickie B.

Members Reviews: actually pretty good wasn't sure if like it at first, but listened straight through till the end in one day. Solid story with solid narration Emory and Nik meet when Nik moves into the neighborhood. Emory is a teenager living at home and training for the Olympics. Nik is a professional hockey player in the minor leagues (or whatever word they use in hockey). Emory is 18 and Nik 20. Both still live with their parents. Both fathers are bigoted though Emorys dad gets over it and Niks dad is psychotic. Nik is engaged to a woman and in denial of his sexuality (and a gay-virgin!) and Emory is super-flamboyant to the extreme and NOT a virgin. The boys feel instant attraction and though it is fairly dangerous for Nik , they begin a relationship. There is a lot of drama about the families and their approval. Danger surrounding Emorys Olympic games and his risk as a homosexual in a homophobic country. Danger surrounding Niks career (hockey) and his coming out to his father. Lots of steamy sex. Some very sweet and tender moments between the boys. And a nice if unrealistic ending that will make you smile. The storyline of this novel is unique in that the relationship develops fairly quickly so most of the struggle is the couple working out how they can be together given the obstacles they face. I enjoyed Nik and Emory but the fathers felt a little too much like caricatures to feel real. Though I enjoyed the resolution it felt a bit rushed at the end and a little too easy. All in all it was a good book and I enjoyed it. audio John Solo tries to do a Russian accent and he mostly succeeds. John has a great general narrators voice- good with emotions, timing and his voice is nice to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Planting-His-Dream-Audiobook/B01IAFMTGO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It soon becomes clear his father hasn't been doing the best job of running it, so not only does Foster need to take over the day-to-day operations, he also needs to find new ways of bringing in revenue. Javi has no time to dream. He and his family are migrant workers, and daily survival is a struggle, so they travel to anywhere they can get work. When they arrive in their old van, Foster arranges for Javi to help him on the farm. To Javi's surprise, Foster listens to his ideas and actually puts them into action. Over days that turn into weeks, they grow to like and then care for each other, but they come from two very different worlds, and they both have responsibilities to their families that neither can walk away from.

Members Reviews: Seeds of Love Would you listen to Planting His Dream again? Why? Maybe, I'm not sure. It's rare I have occasion to listen to books more than once, but I might. What was one of the most memorable moments of Planting His Dream? Watching the seeds of love, these two men's hearts, grow and become one solid unit. Which scene was your favorite? Their special place and subsequent events, in the back of the truck. Who was the most memorable character of Planting His Dream and why? Javi was so endearing. I was choked up listening to him struggle with his feelings for Foster and how that was affected by his father's bigotry and his duty to his family that fell on his shoulders when he was born into his culture. Any additional comments? Tams E-book review... Foster wanted a life away from the Dairy Farm his family owns, but when his father dies, Foster has to step up and accept responsibility for a Farm that is far from debt free. Javi is a seasonal worker on the Farm, he and his family travel to Farms across the country, following the work as it's needed. Though Foster doesn't have the money to pay Javi, he recognizes the dire need the young man and his family are in so he hires him on for the season. The two click straight away, both having great ideas that could increase the revenue for the Farm and hopefully, pull it out of the red. When the friendship slowly evolves into something more, both men are scared. While there lives are very different, sadly, there is one thing that is exactly the same to spite their different cultures... bigotry. The start of a new series for Mr. Grey and it's off to a great start. I really enjoyed the slowly evolving relationship between Foster and Javi. They've actually known each other for several years, Javi's family coming back to the Dairy Farm every year for work. They are both adults now and are searching to find their place in the world. Foster already decided to take on the Farm and make sure his family legacy thrives and grows. Javi is far more torn. His culture alone negates him leaving his family, it's all he knows, his responsibility as far as he is concerned. Both men will have to decide what is important, what is right. If you are a fan of Grey's Farm or Ranch series, you'll love this new series he is starting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Valencia-Audiobook/B00DY8Y2Z4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dreary A dreary journey through the underbelly of San Francisco's lesbian scene. A girl who gets crazy crushes on strange girls who do not appear to be all that attractive; plus seemingly afflicted by assorted mental illnesses. As a country bi girl; (leaning hard towards the L option) I've moaned often about the extremely limited opportunities available in my rural locale; this side of the urban lesbian scene gives me a much better opinion of my situation. Perhaps I'm just too old at 34 to appreciate it, but if this were the extent of the urban scene, way more of us would stay home. The Mission Dyke's Great Gatsby This rent girl memoir is dangerous. Unrepentantly sexy. As if Scott Fitzgerald was a dyke and lived in the Mission before Google ate its soul. Michelle Tea has been a part of the San Francisco writing bohemia, sex worker activism, and queer scene for years, one of the founders of Sister Spit, and boy, she has some stories to tell. Blood-spattered love affairs, corporate sh*t-heads behind closed doors, and friends who stick with her through it all. Abby Craden reads Valencia with searing bravado. Hold on tight. Don't get it.... I love Abby Craden as the narrator. It was the only reason I purchased this audiobook. I just couldn't identify with any of the characters in the book. *shrugs* It's a Lifestyle What did you like best about Valencia? What did you like least? I'm an East coaster who had a stint in Cali and spent some time in San Fran. It was nice to know the areas Tea was talking about and seeing them through someone's eyes who was a local. Despite not personally relating to her rough lifestyle, I knew people like her and found myself shaking my head at times reminiscing. But the life became too big sometimes. Wanted to call an intervention for her and the other main characters. Have you listened to any of Abby Cradens other performances before? How does this one compare? I am an Abby Craden fan and she was in great form. Was Valencia worth the listening time? Eh...not as a whole for me. I was glad, and confused, when it ended. Any additional comments? If you want to read something over the top, self indulgent, and unbelievable, this is the book. dark and seedy Not really a story more of a diary of a central character and her different relationships. This is not the light reading. The writing is very observational and at times witty with a lot of emotive descriptions. But there is not real plot or story line. There seems to be an expectation that the writing and detail of gritty relationships and environment will carry the reader, as if this is 'novel' and shocking gritty life, emotive turmoil of the main character will keep your attention, but I only found it demoralizing but a bit a addictive, 'like endlessly playing with a sore hang nail' (that last phase is my example of the sort of descriptive through the novel). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Due-Diligence-Audiobook/B01IIKUYN6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ups and downs I love Iggy Toma - he's an auto buy for me. There were parts of this story I liked. I liked the idea of two ex-boyfriends find each other again 15 years later. I liked Todd. Fazio was a character that started out okay but over the course of the book, I grew to hate him. I know, strong words. His whining and his need for ego-stroking (and expecting Todd to be the one to take care of that) got on my last nerve. I enjoyed the hot times between Todd and Z. SPOILERS I was very angry when Fazio went back to Seattle. I was angry about how he treated Todd. It was deja vu of their high school days. Shutting Todd out was a s*itty thing to do. I also didn't like that Fazio expected Todd to be a mind reader. And finally, although everything ends well, I still didn't like the lack of responsibility that Fazio took for any of his actions (now or then). Love this series! And as always, Iggy nails it. Do yourself a favor and get all of them. Fantastic!! Just enough kink and Tech, and diversity and hotness to keep you not wanting to stop. Listened all in one sitting. Now I'm sad it's done. Hope there are more? Forced The story was forced and way too focused on the "hot sex" which took away from the potential story. Characters went round and round for no good reason, and the conflict felt inflated for dramatic purposes. Good performance, good pace, very listenable. It was ok It was an ok story. Heard it before. I would probably give another one of her books a try Love it Nerd kink alert Iggy's voice is perfection for this book I absolutely loved it. This book does not have a Bdsm theme like the others in the series but it's still a little kinky, just a very soft nerdy kink. I loved it, it was funny and sweet and more about the relationship than anything else. Like the previous books you can get a little lost with the business/ tech talk. Still great buy :) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Me-My-Vampire-Audiobook/B01KGNEHWM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: don't get this audiobook Of all the things that you could possibly say about this book, the short blurb written about it is possibly the most misleading thing you could have. This is a very dark themed book with no romance, sex that is at BEST considered highly dubious and it was given without any warning. It is poorly written, poorly read by a narrator who probably would rather be gargling rocks than reading it (I don't blame him one bit for that) and seems to believe that confusion, and terrified lust is a valid substitute for actual consent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ice-Cream-Man-Audiobook/B078JYNZFD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In Another Life Without revealing what happens Shiloh is shown at 18 and 36 then again at 18 and 36. He gets shown a couple different variations of how his life could be and we are left when he finally figures it out right! Travis is his savior and whom he saves and finds true love with in the end. Its a bit like a morbid, gay, choose your own adventure and it has some funny lines, a bit of hot smexy times, and a very sweet HEA. This is an unusual story and though its short, tells a lot. There are a lot of plot inconsistencies without explanations, but overall its a very sweet holiday story that, like all of Cardenos works, is delightfully ooey, gooey, sweet and tender. John Solo does the narration for this and he does a nice job especially with all the coughing! He doesnt use any accents or do anything OTT, just delivers a nice narrative. For the story and the narration 3.5 of 5 stars Eight Days Maccabe is the nerd and Josh the jock. They hook up in college but when Maccabe wants to come out and Josh doesnt, they split for years. It takes Hanukah to bring them back together. On the one hand I loved Joshs explanation about who he is and why he didnt want to come out its unique. But I didnt really understand why hed let things go as long as he did. Then when he comes back in to Joshs life, Josh doesnt really offer up much of a protest, despite all the time gone by. Its another lovely holiday story with a bit of hot smexy times and some very sweet Cardeno lovin. Nick J Russo did a great job with all the unique words and his voice for Josh felt very authentic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Everything-I-Know-Audiobook/B015ERMFK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? Who wrote this? Really. Tepid characters, no world building, no atmosphere, none of the beautiful prose for which Lanyon is known. The storyline was mediocrity personified. Thank goodness it was short story; so disappointing. One saving grace... Michael Ferraiuolo was a wonderful narrator. Enjoyable, but not awesome Any additional comments? I mostly love Josh L's audiobooks. She has a way of building love through everyday drama, as well as through the art of mystery and suspense. This is a contemporary romance - no crime drama or mystery involved here. Just an everyday type of drama that regular people deal with in the real world. The narration is professional and entertaining. I had a bit of an issue with the plot holes. There were a few things that bugged me, and I felt like I wanted to argue with the story at times. I am not going to go into details because I would spoil things with too many specifics. And here's a weird thing - I felt like Wes should have been the name for Conner's character, and Con should have been the name for Wes's character - I kept getting them mixed up. Thankfully the narrator was good enough to do the voices differently and consistently. Their names just didn't fit who they were. So weird to say, I know. I also thought that Wes's character could have been developed more. Because he was kind of a dick to Con, and his motivations may have been solid, but the reader didn't see that really. I am glad I listened to it and for the most part I was well entertained. Good to the last drop Any additional comments? It's a Josh Lanyon story with an absolutely fantastic narrator.

This was a terrific vampire story with lots of interesting characters. I found it completely original and entertaining. Some parts made me a little ill, then others made me laugh out loud. Both the author and the narrator did a great job here, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to other adult fans of vampires and campy yet dark humor. The whole vampire thing is soooo overdone that its hard for anything in this genre to catch me anymore. This was fun and more than a little campy. I enjoyed the writing style and characters quite a bit. A fun easy read. The narrator did a brilliant job. Wonderful performance. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. An audible gem When a series of gory murders threaten to destroy the peaceful existence of the liberal inhabitants of West Hollywood (California), a befuddled Becky O'Brien, City Coroner, decides to call for help to his old University friend, Christopher Driscoll, who seemed to know a lot about strange murderers, even back then. But Chris knows much more than what Becky expected, and he soon identifies the murderer as a vampire, because Chris is a bloodsucker himself. With his irrepressible boyfriend Troy as companion, and with the aid of a series of bizarre beings, both human and inhuman, Chris sets to stop the dangerous immortal who threatens them all What a great story! I must recognise this audio gem kept me entertained and laughing out loud for most of the more than twelve hours of its duration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Nothing-Like-Paris-Audiobook/B01LZQGJ8N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jack Tarkington's life is in the toilet. He was supposed to be spending his junior year studying someplace cool, like Paris or Rome. Instead, after taking out his anger on the campus golden boy, whose dad ripped off his parents, Jack is facing possible expulsion. Sure, it's all his own fault, but coming back to the small Iowa town he thought he'd escaped, after crowing about his admission to a prestigious school, has been a humbling experience. When he runs into Miguel, Jack braces for backlash over the way he lorded it over his old friend and flame. Instead Miguel offers him friendship - and a job at his growing farm-to-table store and café. Against the odds both guys bond over broken dreams and find common ground in music. But when Jack's college gives him a second chance, he's torn between achieving a dream that will take him far from home and a love that strikes a chord he'll never find anywhere else. Warning: This book contains a humbled guy who's on the brink of losing it all, a determined entrepreneur who seems to have it all together, apologies issued through banjo-picking duets, and two lovers who can play each other's bodies like virtuosos. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Amy Jo Cousins) Fri, 07 Oct 2016 04:25:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Nothing-Like-Paris-Audiobook/B01LZQGJ8N thebookvoice.com 08:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nothing like Off Campus I REALLY (5star) liked the first book of this series (Off Campus) and was eagerly looking forward to hearing another book by Amy Jo Cousins. Unfortunately Nothing like Paris doesn't live up to the quality of the 1st book. The main character Jack, the "nemesis" from book 1, is written in such a way that you don't feel any real interest/sympathy/liking for him until 3/4 of the book is over. His ex Mike is likable enough, but the familiarity of the two & chemistry between them falls flat. And not that it ultimately matters, but who thought that cover was a good idea?! In Off Campus, All the characters, even Jack, had more depth & chemistry. The reader wants to stay w/ the story even when they characters are doing something stupid. w/ Nothing like Paris, I kept waiting for the story to really get started until finally I was waiting for it to end. Because Off Campus is excellent, I will hope Nothing like Paris was just a fluke & try more of the Bend or Break series when its available, but even Cooper North's strong narration didn't save this installment for me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Vampires-Heart-Audiobook/B015EUMPCG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: great concept horrible story line What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? a completely different story line and caricter development What was most disappointing about Mark A. Roeders story? the main caricters where 12 and 13, no where dose it tell you this is for pre teens How could the performance have been better? the reader was great You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? NO great story It was good and actually a true story not some steamy read. A little too woe is me but it was good. no one wants to be alone starts off sad then it makes you happy your first love a new beginning makes you want to be young forever Very good book. This particular book is not a typical book for this author. It follows the path of a very young ostracized boy Who is generally i'm excepted by everyone. Then he meets this mysterious stranger at school and everything changes completely. Things are not as they appear Quite the opposite actually. A very good read that that is completely unrelated to any of his other books. It does not follow any particular series that Mark has written. It's an excellent book to introduce someone to his work for the first time reader. I follow all his books regularly and have read many of his books regularly. He is an excellent writer for this particular kind of genre. I am in my late 30s and his books are usually easy reading but they intended for a younger audience but that does not take away from what he had written and make any of his books less enjoyable. I have enjoyed every book, some more than others that he has written. I so enjoy his books as they typically are a coming-of-age stories. So most of his books are easy reading. I believe that Mark is not only providing entertainment but he is providing information to the young gay audience who grow up in a stereotypical ideology heterosexual world and are taught that there is something terribly wrong with them which is specious. These books provide information that are contrary to this and indicate it's OK to be gay. Reads very "young" Any additional comments? This is a Young Adult story that reads very young. Graham is thirteen, just figuring out he's gay, has no friends, is super small and "puny", and exceedingly lonely. After deciding to take his life one day he's stopped when he sees a wolf in the forest where he hangs out by his lonesome. After he goes home and realizes what a huge mistake he almost just made, Graham decides to turn things around and try harder to make a friend and maybe get a boyfriend. When he goes back to school there's a new student, Josiah, who immediately captures his interest and attention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Running-Wild-Audiobook/B01LXLMCQD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Running Wild the most enjoyable? I'd already read the e-book so getting to listen and have these characters brought to life was so much fun. What other book might you compare Running Wild to and why? Perhaps the Matter of Time series by Mary Calmes. Ryker is very liken to Sam Kage in the big, brooding, you are mine period department. What about Dorian Banes performance did you like? Everything. Who was the most memorable character of Running Wild and why? Sean, for me at least. He grew and evolved a lot throughout the story. Any additional comments? This is one of my favorite books to read, I've read it multiple times, probably because SOA (Son's of anarchy) was a favorite TV show of mine and I always had this desire to see what would have happened had Jax and Opie gotten together. This story brought that fantasy to life for me. When I was listening I could actually picture Sean as Jax and Ryker as Opie and that only made the audiobook that much better. I've listened to other stories with the narrator previously and it's been hit or miss. Definitely a hit this time around what with the deep, smokey, lust laced baritone voice he gave Ryker that completely fit every facet of his larger than life persona. Then you have Sean who is cocky, abrasive and standoffish. Mostly, that's an act he puts on to keep people at arms length. But Ryker has his number from the start and patiently waits it out until Sean figures out that the harder he fights it and tries to push Ryker away, he only winds up reeling him further in. If you like stubborn alpha male bottoms and equally stubborn, self assured tops that wear leather and ride around on motorcycles and protect what belongs to them ferociously, then you'll LOVE this book! Perfect pairing - Great story and Narrator! SE Jakes has done it AGAIN. This series may even top/tie with the Hell or High Water series for me. Ryker is absolutely on par with Prophet for hot, bad a**, awesomeness but maybe I should compare him to Mal or Cillian he is so bad ass that he always knows what to say and when to say it and what he does is ALMOST always right. Almost. Ryker is a S** GOD and yet so amazingly sweet that you just want to take him home with you. He. Sends.

Would you listen to The Heart of Frost again? Why? Yes I would. Loved the narration, the story and the characters. What other book might you compare The Heart of Frost to and why? Mending Noel, the first book in this series. What does Robert Nieman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I haven't read the book, I thoroughly enjoyed the audio book. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Christmas with a twist. Any additional comments? Jack Frost is known for his volatile temper throughout the kingdom. Since Rudy Reindeer and Jack become lovers, Jacks heart has grown warm and his bedside manner is much more friendly. When Rudys plane is sabotaged and Rudy is almost killed, the Frost Prince of old makes an appearance, but at what cost. While Jack will stop at nothing to uncover who tried to kill his lover, the cold begins to seep its way back into his heart, and Rudy fears he will lose Jack to the power he has learned to keep at bay. This story was much more gripping and detailed than the first. I liked that Tim and Noel were characters in the background, but Jack and Rudy take center stage. You know that saying, absolute power corrupts absolutely? That is sort of the moral of this story. The power Jack can wield is absolute and destructive. With Rudy in his life showing him he is worthy of love, Jack has learned how to turn the darkness off. But Jack resorts to that darkness to try and uncover the plot to kill his lover, and he just may lose the thing he loves most in the end, Rudy. I dont know about anyone else, but I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book. It was a Christmas caper mystery! And I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love this fantasy world that is wrapped in holiday cheer that Cochet has created for the series. Im happy that Robert Nieman continues to sit in the narrators chair as well. He has already given voice to many of the characters that flowed effortlessly over into this book, and having listened to the first book, I knew who was who just by the tone and nuance he used, even before their name was mentioned. This is just a fun little series with amazing characters, somewhat suspenseful storylines and fantastic scenery. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Old-Poison-Audiobook/B00GR3S47A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Taylor and Will are quickly becoming a favorite couple. They have great adventures and this series focuses a lot more on the relationship than other Josh Lanyon series. It great seeing the passion and insecurities warring with each other. And in typical alpha male fashion, the lack of communicating the depth of feelings. Overall, a great balance without being overly dramatic. On to book 3. A solid 2nd installment Taylor's history catches up to him in this convoluted tale. His and Will's relationship gets tighter. A favorite! Would you listen to Old Poison again? Why? Old Poison is my favorite of the series. I enjoy re-reading this series and i enjoy re-listening to it too. Adrian Bisson's narration, especially his Taylor voice, is fantastic, i just love listening to him. What other book might you compare Old Poison to and why? - Old Poison is the second book in the Dangerous Ground series, so i recommend the other books in this series (first four are in audio). I'd recommend reading/listening to them in order for the character arc. - Fair Game by Josh Lanyon. Suspense, mystery. - The I Spy series, also by Josh Lanyon. Suspense and romantic suspense as well. Which character as performed by Adrian Bisson was your favorite? Taylor. Adrian has captured his voice just as, even better actually, than i imagined it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Taylor's reactions in particular triggered similar reactions in me, there were moments when my heart ached with what he was going through and moments when his enthusiasm made me as happy as he was. Struggle to connect Josh Lanyon is definitely my go-to author but I'm struggling to stay connected to these characters. Maybe because I only feel we know them superficially with no real background or support cast besides the bad guys. After reading the Adrian English series, I was hoping to connect like that to Will and Taylor but it's just not happening. I think I'm going to have to move on to other Lanyon work. Also, I'm not liking this narrator at all. sounds too robotic. The 1st book I thought it was a digital voice. He's gotten marginally better this book but still not great. I'm hooked It's Josh Lanyon.. that's all that needs to be said. It's a great sequel to the first book in the series. The character development is fantastic, I really like that we are slowly learning more about Taylor and Will and the action had me hooked from the beginning. Can't wait to see where they head next! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Change-of-Heart-Audiobook/B01HP1OE7Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She's successful, wealthy, and a highly sought after Washington lobbyist. At first glance, one might think that she has it all. She doesn't. Not even close. She lives life in the fast lane without a moment to spare. She leaves no time to smell the roses. She's consumed by work in a world of politics and power brokers. She has money, her job, booze, and nothing else. In quiet moments, against her will, her mind drifts back to her days in high school and to all that she gave up. Jack Camdon is a complex woman, and yet not at all. She earns her living as an entomologist, has a passion for bees, and the environment. She's an Ojibwe healer and someone who has a good grasp on the things that are most important. Jack is also a woman who has never moved beyond the sudden and unexplained departure of her high school sweetheart, her lover, and her soul mate. When circumstances bring Courtney back to town two decades later, their paths will cross. Can high school sweethearts, apart for the entirety of their adult life, rekindle their flame that still burns hot?

This is such a poorly written story. What was missing for me was any sort of build up of characters, or emotions that I would expect to feel with the characters. Listening to it was like watching a really bad teen movie. What do you think your next listen will be? I *might* give KA Moll another chance, just to make sure this book isn't an unfortunate accident. Otherwise, it's back to my favorites - Radclyffe, Georgia Beers, Julie Blair, Melissa Brayden, Kim Baldwin, Julie Cannon, Jae, Gerri Hill, Erin Dutton...and several others. What does Michele Musso bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I thought the narrator did a good job with the reading. Every character has their own distinct voice. In some places, there was no delay where I feel like there should have been - between scenes, if you will. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the narrator or editor, though. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Annoyance, and lots of eye rolling when things seemed to happen randomly without any background, or when people were single-mindedly stereotypical. Characters weren't well-rounded and scenes skipped ahead, leaving out important information. Any additional comments? I don't recommend this book. Too many other good lesfic books out there on audible. But if you do start it, you probably will listen to the end. Just like you'll watch until the end of that teen movie... A detailed character study Any additional comments? KA Moll has once again delivered a detailed character study of women who are struggling with their past to make a future for themselves. Change of Heart carries less burden than the backstories of her characters from "Haunting Love" but still deals with issues of alcoholism, desertion, family and rejection. On the surface, its hard to believe its a love story. Narrator Michele Musso seems unphased by the complexity of KA Molls well-defined characters, delivering an emotionally complex reading that breathes life into the tumultuous worlds of Jack and Courtney. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rattlesnake-Audiobook/B019N3ZTLO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A drifter since his teens, Jimmy Dorsett has no home and no hope. What he does have is a duffel bag, a lot of stories, and a junker car. Then one cold desert night, he picks up a hitchhiker and ends up with something more: a letter from a dying man to the son he hasn't seen in years. On a quest to deliver the letter, Jimmy travels to Rattlesnake, a small town nestled in the foothills of the California Sierras. The centerpiece of the town is the Rattlesnake Inn, where the bartender is handsome former cowboy Shane Little. Sparks fly, and when Jimmy's car gives up the ghost, Shane gets him a job as handyman at the inn. Both within the community of Rattlesnake and in Shane's arms, Jimmy finds an unaccustomed peace. But it can't be a lasting thing. The open road continues to call, and surely Shane - a strong, proud man with a painful past and a difficult present - deserves better than a lying vagabond who can't stay put for long. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kim Fielding) Tue, 22 Dec 2015 12:12:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rattlesnake-Audiobook/B019N3ZTLO thebookvoice.com 08:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful story and performance Ah Kim Fielding, just when I think I've got you pigeonholed you break out something like this. I have primarily pegged this author as a "fantasy" writer and I love her for it. Then she writes this and all bet are off; she is just a great writer and storyteller. There is not a drop of paranormal or fairy dust in this story, although there is lots of other dust as it takes place in a desert town. This is a story of a man finding himself in a most unique and unlikely way, through a dead man. And another man proving to himself and his family that he is a fully functioning human being despite his disability. Jimmy is a great character and the emotional depth the author gives him is wonderful. It is a slow drag to learn about Jimmy's life and struggles, but so worth the effort. Shane has had a very different life; surrounded by love and support. His demons are different but no less harrowing. This is the type of story that makes you smile through tears. K.C. Kelly's slow drawl is the perfect voice for these men. He gives a wonderful performance and really conveys the depth of emotion the story demands. Worth the Wait!!! I heart Kim Fielding and I adore KC Kelly. I waited months for this book to make it to audible and I was not disappointed. 1) I loved the character-rich storyline. Jimmy and Shane are two men who seem to have very little in common. Dig a little though - or better yet - let the story unfold through the eyes of Jimmy and Shane...it's a slow but satisfying burn. 2) KC Kelly is a natural storyteller. He has such warmth in whatever character he voices. KC is an autobuy for me because anything he reads is going to be good. A Deadman Riding Shotgun D@mn how I loved this low key romance. Just a d@mn good story of a wanderer in need of a home he didn't realize he needed and man in need of his own forgiveness. How romance should be created! 4.5 stars for this gem! Any additional comments? This is beautifully written and even more beautifully narrated. I cannot think of another narrator I would have preferred to listen to this by other than K.C. Kelly. Kelly takes this tale of a drifter finding a home he didn't even know he was looking for and gives it a depth that elevates the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/How-I-Met-Your-Father-Audiobook/B0192731W0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fabulously Fun Imagine that you see a woman walking down the road laughing hysterically at seemingly nothing. This was me, walking my dog, getting strange looks by passersby. This had exactly the right amount of angst, humor, and smut to make me a very happy person. Love Nick J. Russo! Any additional comments? Nick J. Russo is quickly becoming an auto-buy narrator for me. I love his character voices, his tempo, inflections...he just rarely goes amiss for me and this time is no exception. It doesn't hurt that I also like the story; it's quick, fun and hot with some really good humor sprinkled throughout. Which anyone knows is my crack. Recommended! Funny and Entertaining. Entertaining, funny story but too rushed for the material. It was a good story that could have been excellent had it been longer. Excellent narration by Nick J. Russo. Love it! This was an absolute delight for me. I laughed out loud so many times! I am quickly becoming a fan of Nick J Russo. His narration is always on point and he just makes the story that much better. This was a quick listen. There was some conflict but it was resolved nicely. There wasn't any penetrating sex in this book but there was sexual content. All around a really nice short story. I would have loved a little more story but I still finished this book feeling satisfied. :) Too short but narrated well Justin is the former leader of a boy band. Hes gay, but in the closet. Hes headed to the Caribbean to watch his best friend and former band mate get married. While on the puddle jumper to the island he experiences some turbulence and gets a helping hand from an older (hot!) guy in the next seat. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Prince-of-the-Playhouse-Audiobook/B01GJQW5K6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For that, he's given up any semblance of privacy and the right to say no to the thousands of people who depend on him and the millions who love him. He sees everything he's ever wanted just outside the bubble of his life, but how can he make the compromises needed to embrace it? When Ru's shady past crashes into Gray's paparazzi-haunted present, both men have to learn that sometimes the only acceptable compromise is the truth. Members Reviews: Truly a great read I have come to really enjoy this author and this story was no different. It was great. I loved the narrator who really added to the enjoyment of the story which was totally enjoyable. To listen or not to listen, that is the question.. Any book narrated by K.C. Kelly automatically goes into my wish list. I love the inflection of his voice, the superb and very recognizable voices he creates for each character, even the sighs and huffs he makes are perfect and add so much to the story he is telling. Ive listened to the two previous stories in this series and thoroughly enjoyed #1 Knight on Ocean Avenue. We were first introduced to Rupert Maitland (Ru) in that story, although I didnt take to him as much as I did in this one, even though he offered support to his friend and work colleague, Shaz. I adored Shaz from the start and was thrilled to see him popping up to offer Ru his comfort and advice in this story. My heart went out to Ru as the story unfolded. He turns out to be such a wonderful character; kind and considerate as well as OTT and gregarious at times. Hes adorable and well on his way to becoming a superstar in the fashion industry. For one so young, he is incredibly gifted. The mystery of his past took its time to reveal itself and had me wondering for much of the story. I kept expecting it to conflict with his developing relationship with Gray Anson, the super hot (and deeply in the closet) movie star. When they finally get the chance to make out, the sex scenes are smoking hot. I didnt like that Gray kept his affair with Ru a secret and still dated women to keep up his public hetero image. In fact, I found it difficult to get a grasp on Grays character. I loved Chris, his bodyguard/chauffeur, though. The story was well-written, but for me the storyline didnt work as well as #1. But still it was an entertaining, low-angst story overall, made all the more enjoyable by K.C. Kellys fabulous narration. KC Kelly does another AMAZING job with great story Loved this so much! This is book three in the series Love in Laguna and I highly recommend reading all three in order to really appreciate this book though technically it can be read as a standalone. Ru is Shaz BFF and assistant. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fin-Matt-Audiobook/B01ATJ24XM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He was set, at least by the traditional standards. On his very first day, he saw him.... If there was a God, he made Matt DiFiore personally.

I don't normally do this...but here's my two cents: For those who like a more sentimental insta-love romance, I'd totally recommend this story - just STOP before reading or listening to the epilogue. Seriously. DO NOT READ THE EPILOGUE. Twenty-three year old Fin has moved back to St. Louis after graduation. Fin doesn't need to work, he's a trust fund kid and his parents lavish money and presents on him constantly, but he wants to feel useful, so he accepts a teaching position at a local private high school teaching music and theater. On his first day he meets thirty year old Phys Ed teacher Matt DiFiore. The two hit it off and begin seeing one another. Told entirely from Fin's POV, we do get a bit of angst in the story, mostly from Matt. Matt comes with quite a lot of baggage; he's a board certified Sports Medicine doctor unable to practice in his field (for reasons) and he lives under a very tight budget paying off old debts, so there's some money friction between the two as well. The story revolves entirely around Fin and Matt's whirlwind (read: insta-love) romance. There are some pretty hot sexy times, and, though there were a couple of times when the romance started reading far more like a het-romance and I would side-eye it, it generally got back on track pretty quickly, and was a really enjoyable listen. Charlie Winters is a new M/M writer, and you can tell this was a first attempt at times. There are some stumbles, but on the whole the story is mostly enjoyable, I was really digging the whole thing. There are times I really like a sappy romance and this was ticking off all my boxes...especially with the narration. I really, really enjoyed the narration by, new to M/M romance, narrator Luke Itzvic. He was sexy, saucy, swishy, masculine...all of his character voices were great, I liked his pitch and timing, and his tone. I'll definitely be looking for more audios narrated by Itzvic in the future. Then came the one glaringly huge exception: THE EPILOGUE. The epilogue almost ruined this story for me. Seriously. In my opinion, if you like your romances with a HEA then DO NOT READ THE EPILOGUE. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Guarded-Audiobook/B01L2UAOWU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not for the faint of heart This story is filled with ghastly, horrific tortures and evil intent. It is not for those who like their romances light and fluffy. There are few scenes that are wholly comfortable in the ways of traditional M/M romance tropes. The writing is outstanding. The characters are fresh and not the usual images we see in M/M writing. In fact this is more of a gay love story hidden in a fantasy historical book. Excellent narration and a happily ever after ending. A story of love, honour, and bravery This story was written as a part of the Goodreads M/M Romance Groups Loves Landscapes event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors selected a photo/prompt that spoke to them and wrote an accompanying short story. I enjoyed this beautiful tale of honour, bravery and love. It is set in an alternate world, the Kingdom of Weydata, which is sort of a mix of medieval and Georgian times with fantasy. There are stage coaches and inns, fortified castles and sword fights, kings and princes, mention of wars and political intrigue. Theres no magic or fantasy creatures, so the world Kim Fielding created almost appears historical. I particularly liked that a persons sexuality and partner were not an issue in this reality. Any relationship was accepted without question and seen as commonplace. The sights and sounds of this kingdom ooze from the tale, painting a clear picture of life for these people. There's plenty of details about the culture and costumes woven into the story, which we see as events unfold. This enemies-to-lovers story follows Volos, a war hero and guard in the kings castle, who willingly risks his life to rescue Berhanuthe rude prince who apparently despises himafter he is kidnapped while on a secret peace/trade mission to a neighbouring country. The journey and search for the prince culminates in a tense and exciting rescue. Theres a gang rape scene during this time that Volos witnesses. Ive wondered about the purpose of this plot point because Berhanu appeared to suffer only from the physical after-effects of this ordeal. I think it helped the two men connect because Volos had received similar brutal treatment previously while in prison. Perhaps it was also there to justify Volos slaughter of the captors. Volos ensures Prince Berhanu succeeds in his original peace mission and gradually the prince moves from treating Volos with cruelty and contempt to showing him love. Their early sexual encounters are very much like their relationshiprough and desperate. Yet as they become friends they gradually grow closer. Theres more tension when the two men return to the castle. But we are treated to a happy ending which includes a beautifully romantic scene. I liked Volos noble character from the start and gradually came to like the prince as he showed his more tender and compassionate side. I did wonder early on if Mato, the innkeeper, would win Volos affections. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cut-to-the-Chase-Audiobook/B00FEIB60G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Urgent Message; new reader needed I'm not sure if this was a well written book or not. the reader was so god awful that pretty much any work would have been overshadowed by her. Teachers in kindergarten reading to five year-olds do a better job than this narrator.her dull flat monotone and her tendency to stumble over words made a couple of chapters almost painful to get through. I gave up and moved on. Story Pulled you in Where does Cut to the Chase rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Not the best but not the worst. What did you like best about this story? the store was well written and beyond a few roll my eye moments that seem to be in every book of this genre, i enjoyed the book. What didnt you like about Kim McKeans performance? I actually has to start this audiobook twice as I was put off by Ms McKean's breathy reading style. I zoned it out as the store continued and was able to focus on the story and not how it was read the second time i tried to listen. The distinction between main characters could have been better as there were points I was confused as to who was speaking Any additional comments? Overall I enjoyed the book the second time around. Narrator ruined this! I have no idea if this book is good or not. The narrator was so horrible that I couldn't even get through the 3rd chapter. If she can't even pronounce the word "hyperbole" correctly, then she should stick to preschool books. my humble yet righteous opinion Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? i always like listening to books on tape. better than watching t.v. as i can do other things. this particular book i found myself really not enjoying the reader, the voices just did not suit the characters. How could the performance have been better? all around i felt like i was simply listening to someone read. i didn't feel the beauty of the characters. not a lot of differences in the characters in voices. i would like to hear the story again but read by someone like abby craven. i think then i would know if i liked the story or not. If this book were a movie would you go see it? no, maybe... i don't know. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Holiday-Hoax-Audiobook/B015HQB6OA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 4.5 stars for narration...2 stars for story Any additional comments? 4.5 stars for K.C. Kelly's narration...2 stars for the story. Let me start by saying I absolutely adore the whole fake boyfriend trope! I love it. Usually. Evan Goodman has been recently dumped by his not-quite boyfriend. Unfortunately he's bragged a lot to his family about him and they are all expecting to meet the new boyfriend over the holiday break. While quietly freaking out in a coffee shop about going home dateless, Evan witnesses the coming out and rejection of JD Laurens by his only family. Evan sort of knows JD. JD's a quiet science major who lives in Evan's dorm and after JD is abandoned right in front of him Evan cooks up a scheme to bring JD home with him for the holidays killing two birds with one stone...he gives JD a family and home for the holidays and Evan has a boyfriend to show off to his family. And if that had been the story, I would be giving this 4, maybe even 4.5 stars. BUT. But it isn't. Instead Evan makes JD lie and say he's the sort-of boyfriend who just dumped Evan. That's where it lost me. That whole storyline did absolutely nothing for me. Turns out I hate a story where the fake relationship is based on one of the characters lying about who he is and, wow, that whole bit went on way too long. How could you ask a guy who had just lost his family and home because he wouldn't lie about who he is - turn around and quite literally LIE ABOUT WHO HE IS?! So bottom line: This had loads of potential, the narration by KC Kelly is terrific and fans of the fake boyfriend lying about being someone else entirely trope should adore this. It just didn't work for me personally. Warm Holiday Feels Evan is dating this self-centered, cheating, popular guy from his major who drops him right before Christmas. He goes to the Donut Shop to fuel up for his trip home for the holidays and sees JD out himself to his very mean, hateful brother, who tells JD never to come home ever. (And it turns out JDs brother is his ONLY family- big jerk!) Evan hatches a plan to save both JD and himself from a horrible holiday. JD can play Evans boyfriend, Tyler, (who the family was expecting to meet) and JD can have a place to go over Christmas. Needless to say the tricking doesnt fool anyone, and mom is suspicious of Tyler/JD. But as you can imagine JD is a far better boyfriend to Evan than Tyler ever was and what started as a hoax ends up as a HEA. ** Your heart will bleed for JD and the way he just shines in the face of Evans family is so touching. Neither Evan nor JD have much experience so the smexy times are pretty tame, but very sweet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Matter-of-Disagreement-Audiobook/B015TU0UXW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Trailer Trash Author: Marie Sexton Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It's 1986, and what should have been the greatest summer of Nate Bradford's life goes sour when his parents suddenly divorce. Now, instead of spending his senior year in his hometown of Austin, Texas, he's living with his father in Warren, Wyoming, population 2,833 (and Nate thinks that might be a generous estimate). There's no swimming pool, no tennis team, no mall - not even any MTV. The entire school's smaller than his graduating class back home, and in a town where the top teen pastimes are sex and drugs, Nate just doesn't fit in. Then Nate meets Cody Lawrence. Cody's dirt-poor, from a broken family, and definitely lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Nate's dad says Cody's bad news. The other kids say he's trash. But Nate knows Cody's a good kid who's been dealt a lousy hand. In fact, he's beginning to think his feelings for Cody go beyond friendship. Admitting he might be gay is hard enough, but between small-town prejudices and the growing AIDS epidemic dominating the headlines, a town like Warren, Wyoming, is no place for two young men to fall in love. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Marie Sexton) Wed, 19 Oct 2016 11:45:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Trailer-Trash-Audiobook/B01M5BJSL9 thebookvoice.com 09:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great coming of age, coming out NA romance Cody lives in the trailer park in Warren Wyoming. He is in his senior year and wants nothing more than to get out. He knows that's not gonna happen with no job or money. His mom works in a truck stop 40 miles away, drives a piece of crap car that barely runs, and they don't make enough to pay just utilities and hardly any food. Cody meets a new guy at the convenience store in the summer before school starts. Nate is preppy and lives in the wealthier part of town but wants to hang out. Cody doesn't delusion himself that it will last after school, that Nate will group off with his own clique. Nate isn't what Cody thinks. He has his problems too, not wanting to leave his mom and come to a hick town with nothing to do or no friends. Nate is angry with his father for several reasons. Nate soon finds the Orange Grove kids are the bad crowd, doing drugs and stuff and he wants nothing to do with them. He likes Cody and would like to hang with him. The story has many twists and turns, some sad parts and evokes lots of emotion. Ths is my first book narrated by John Solo, and I fell in love with his voice immediately. I loved the narration, the voice and how he drew me into the action and kept me hanging. This book is now on my favorites list. If you're looking for something both happy and sad, about life, love and growing up, and an all over fabulous story. Trailer Trash is definitely for you. I highly recommend it if you love a good New Adult Romance. Low on steam high on feels This is a very unexpected book. Marie Sexton definitely knows how to write some angst and this has it in spades! but she also knows how to give us the warm feels to make the angst less painful. She gives us two boys in rural Wyoming in the 80s. Not a gay friendly time or place. UGH! Theres no internet to help them figure things out, no community to help, and lots of scary AIDS information out there. In addition, we also have some distinct class issues and then theres the individual family dramas playing out as well like theres not enough to angst about! Nate, stuck in Nowhere Wyoming from the relative hip and large town of Austin, TX is stuck in his last year of high school who does that to a kid? having to make new friends. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Plan-B-Audiobook/B00I8TCN64 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narration Gone Wrong The story itself is 5-stars. But its the first time listening to an audiobook that the narration bothered me so much, it brought down the rating dramatically. If I hadn't agreed to review the audio book for the publisher, I would've switched to eBook. I'm a HUGE fan of Jo Peterson but I might just stick with reading her books instead of listening. Sticking to Plan A -and reading it on ebook- would've been a better choice. Not sure I like this one? Is there anything you would change about this book? It is rare that I dislike the MC and this time, I found Danny rather annoying in what could have been a nice story Could you see Plan B being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No - although there is nothing wrong about a series similar to this plot Any additional comments? It might be the narration but it made the MC come out as a total selfish person sometimes. I have the book version which I started reading a while ago then stopped. I am not sure if it is worth revisiting after this. Too many other books to read. I preferred the book Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend the book over the audiobook. But it was still mostly fun to listen to, sweet in places yet angsty in others. The writer is talented and I would definitely read or listen to other books she's written. What was one of the most memorable moments of Plan B? The epilogue. Did Andrew McFerrin do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Yes, a very good job. But I didn't like his over-the-top performance and inflections for Danny. I quite liked the ebook and, most of the time, Danny. In this audio version, he came off even more self-centered with an occasional mean streak. I think someone like Shannon Gunn or Sean Crisden would have been a better choice for narrator. If you could rename Plan B, what would you call it? Diva Any additional comments? Summary: This is one of the very rare times that I liked the ebook better. The narrator was way over the top and portrayed Danny is such a way that I truly did not like him some of the time. He was a self-centered diva with an occasional mean streak. I didn't feel that way when I read the ebook, so I know it was the narrator. 3.75 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

This story introduces another set of characters in the same universe as Stake Sauce, but either book would make a good starting place for this series. The crime is the same as in Stake Sauce, supernatural arson and murder, and the main character also doesn't know about the supernatural. But he does get some information here which gives some insight into what's going on in the series. The characters are all very appealing, and the setting of 19th-century Venice is pretty great. I look forward to continuing with the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cast-Off-Audiobook/B00KX92WWC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Best of the series! Would you consider the audio edition of Cast Off to be better than the print version? Haven't read it, but I absolutely loved the Audio book. What was one of the most memorable moments of Cast Off? Ian calmly listening to Rick tell his story, then refusing to walk away. Which character as performed by Tristan James was your favorite? Ian. I loved how he was always so cool, calm and collect. But when he does finally lose it Rick doesn't know what to do without his always calm and in control Ian. If you could take any character from Cast Off out to dinner, who would it be and why? Ian, he was such a doll setting up all those "dates" with Rick. Any additional comments? Rick Haviland doesn't do attachments. He does one night stands and occasionally, finds a friend that is willing to share the benefits of a hook-up only kind of relationship. But as soon as a guy starts acting like a "keeper", their name is scratched off the list. Meeting Ian O'Donnell changes everything. Rick keeps his past tucked away, never revealing his whole self to anyone, not even his best friends. That shadow that looms over Rick is what has kept him from getting to close to anyone, but Ian slowly breaks down all Rick's barriers and he finds himself wanting more with someone for the first time ever. Ian is no stranger to keeping secrets, he hid his sexuality from everyone he knew until recently. When his brother, Curt, who is also Ian's best friend, came out to their family Ian was pissed. Not at Curt mind you, but at himself for not having the courage at the time to do the same. From the start, Ian wants more than just a casual hook-up kind of relationship with Rick, but he recognizes the look of sheer terror in Rick's eyes at just the mention of anything to do with any type of commitment. So Ian works the friends angle instead. The man is actually courting Rick, and Rick doesn't even realize it. But darkness in your past is never forgotten and not easily washed away. When Rick's past invades his present, it could destroy them both. This is probably my favorite book of this series. Ian was definitely the stronger of the two men, both physically and emotionally. That being said, I liked that he was the one that kind of had blinders on when usually, it would have been the other way around. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Boy-and-His-Wolf-Audiobook/B00QKOXQY2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cute m/m shifter romance Why the bad reviews? This was cute... I totally liked it. I hope audible puts the rest of the series on here. First,if you don't like m/m romance...when then don't listen to this... and second, if you don't like sappy shifter books, when you know the couple will eventually get back together... THEN DON'T LISTEN!!! DUH!!! Anyway... I loved the two main characters... Tanner and Dash... Tanner was all tough human guy in the beginning...but O NO.... once your back in Dash's neighborhood...he got all sappy again... CUTE!!! There was a pretty decent shifter clan vs. rouge shifters scenario going on... but other than that it wasn't a WOWZA story... but well worth the listen... I enjoyed it.. Worth a buy or sale... Save your credit... this is pretty cheap... under 5 bucks! The boy and his wolf a good book I love the book boy and his wolf was a very good book I just wished it was a little bit longer but it was really good I'm looking forward to listening to the next book hopefully soon Love!!! I have a soft spot for gay paranormal romances. That being said this one really worked for me. I instantly connected with Tanner and found myself hoping for his happiness. My only wish is that there was more.... Amazing It was so good I would love to listen to more like this! Full stars great story love the storyline. and the narrator did a superb job. I can't wait until the other book of the series comes out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Knave-of-Broken-Hearts-Audiobook/B018EZPWMS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 124 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Love in Laguna Novel Jim Carney has a full time job - running from himself. Since he walked out on his wealthy family at 16 because he'd wrecked his best friend's life over some yaoi graphic novels, Jim has lived a macho, blue-collar existence of too much booze and too little responsibility. Then Billy Ballew, the man Jim most admires, gives Jim a chance to come through as his construction supervisor. For once, Jim is determined to make someone proud.

Members Reviews: Good Story Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this BUT I just felt the ending was rushed and not really satisfied with the loose ends with Jims family but I was glad to know what became of his high school friend. I also became more frustrated with Jim through the middle to end of the book, I wanted to strangle him myself! I do want to read Billy's story and can't wait. With the narration I LOVED the narrators voice for Ken Tanaka, so sexy!!! Good story Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator. It was difficult to differentiate the characters, they sound the same and the female voice was not very femenin. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? It was understandable Could you see Knave of Broken Hearts being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No. Not together I am 21 chapters into the book and the main characters are still not together. I am not liking this story. The situation(s) that Jim suffers thru border on the absurd, Ken's situation is more believable, but it's hard to understand his decisions. How Jim & Ken are supposed to have a relationship let alone a HEA is wearing on me. Still slogging thru the story but know I will not listen to this one again. KC Kelly is a good narrator, and the only reason I am still listening Better than the last book! I just loved it. My heart hurt when it ended. I must say that the slow burn for these two lovers was a little to slow. This was a book about feelings and learning how to fight for what you want out of life. Both characters grew a lot. Both played the field and didn't want to settle down until they met each other. There wasn't a lot of sex but you don't notice it because the dialogue is just that good. Can't wait for the next one. Good I like this book it was cute and finning the tow characters could have had more time together as a couple https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Love-Hypothetically-Audiobook/B01GW5WJCS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: AWESOME narration and a fun, easy listen! **New audiobook rating: 4.5 stars** I'm a HUGE fan of the Theta Alpha Gamma series by Anne Tenino, and I had nothing but good memories of this book, which I read originally over three years ago. Love, Hypothetically features one of my FAVORITE tropes in romance EVER, which is the enemies-to-lovers theme, but more specifically, the former-betrayer-to-lover theme. This is a cousin to the former-bully-to-lover trope, which... gah, gets me every time! I love when someone has to truly grovel after formally wronging a love interest. It sparks deep emotions inside of me, and it usually leads to me really loving a book. It is always interesting how my opinions change about a certain book over the years and as my reading tastes change with time. On re-read, I found myself wanting MORE from the plot. This book is novella length, and I realized that I really needed about 100 more pages to feel fully satisfied. I wasn't really ready to fully forgive Trevor, the jock who strung along, outed, and then ditched Paul. I could have used pages upon pages of Paul crying and torturing Trevor. (I'm really sick, huh??) I still loved how light this book was and how unexpectedly SEXY it was. I love Anne Tenino for that. I even really enjoyed Paul of the prickly personality, whose snarky attitude I found to be really enticing. This book is truly happy, comfort reading for me, as is this whole series. If I had to rate this book on content alone, I would probably give it 4 stars, which means that I really liked it. However, the audiobook narration by Nick J. Russo EASILY bumped it up 1/2 a star. Nick J. Russo is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators, and he KILLED it again with another amazing performance. His voices for both MCs were perfection. I hope and pray that Anne Tenino continues on with this series because it holds a special place in my heart. There are few books that I'll re-read, and Love, Hypothetically is one of them, especially now that Nick J. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Making-Promises-Audiobook/B00AUW9OVO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another Journey to take... The 2nd book in the Promise Rock series, I really enjoyed this book. I inadvertently read book 3 (Living Promises: Keeping Promise Rock) first but I don't think the reading order was too detrimental to the stories presented by Amy Lane. Learning of Shane's story, Mikhail's journey and the eventual joining was a delightful experience. Though maybe not as gut-wrenching as the first book, the story still evoked a mass of emotional responses and was still worth the read. I do recommend this book! Great Story and good listening Where does Making Promises rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book has such a great story line and a lot of really great sex scenes in it that come across as totally believable and stirring as well. I would encourage anyone to purchase it that is into gay male romance. Great story line and it actually kept me up listening long into the evening! Sweet and Painful and Perfect Would you consider the audio edition of Making Promises to be better than the print version? I'll admit, hearing the brief bits of song that Mr. Morey was oh so kind enough to actually sing in his narration was was very nice touch. Please, DSP, please keep this man. He narrates like he gives a damn. What was one of the most memorable moments of Making Promises? Mikhail's lonely (but not really) week from hell, if I want to avoid spoilers. It tore at my heart reading it and I was sitting at work listening to the audio in tears. Just. So. Sad. Which scene was your favorite? I'm a sucker for every scene where someone asshole was getting punched. If you could rename Making Promises, what would you call it? Big Stupid Cop meets Irritating Russian Diva and Fall in Love. Thank you, Amy Lane. Any additional comments? I worried before I started this. Mainly because it's over fifteen hours long and after "Keeping Promise Rock" I honestly didn't know if I had it in me if this story took the same kinds of twists and turns. I swear - Amy Lane can rip out my heart like few others. This story is beautiful in its simplicity. It's all about redemption, love, and, ultimately, finding home and family. I loved every aspect of this story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Eddie-Grime-Doesnt-Pay-Audiobook/B0147R917Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another sweet love story... I thoroughly enjoyed this book, so much better than I did the first one in this series. Eddie is such a loveable and sweet character, I just wanted to give him a great ole bear hug! Eddie and Andrew's journey had a few hiccups but for the most part, there was never a doubt that the two would not have a happily ever after. Each has to come to terms with certain issues and accept that the other will be there for them. Eddie's heart and Andrew's charm just made this a great book. Z.A. Maxfield gives you a story that all can relate and Joe Arden's narration brought the characters to life and encouraged the listener/reader to care for the characters.

The book has so many things that I usually love, like age difference and the hurt/comfort theme. To my surprise, though, I found myself rolling my eyes more than just a few times as I listened to Touch me Gently, and I almost turned the audiobook off several times. It makes me sad, because I really wanted to like this book. I usually love age and size difference between lovers, but Kaden just...never seemed like a man to me. In the whole book, I kept imagining him as a young, young boy and sometimes even as a little girl! At the very beginning of the book, his physique is described as "almost effeminate, and the way the teen flinches, shivers, gasps and winces when men come close to him makes me think of a scared little girl not a man whos about to start his twenties! If I wanted to listen to a straight romance, I'd have bought a straight romance! Instead of feeling sympathy, I kept rolling my eyes when Kaden's reactions to men and memories went way over the top. I won't spoil the main plotline for anyone, but even if a man has been raped in the past, I doubt theyd literally drop to the floor and curl up, panicking, if a woman simply asks where they got the scar in their face. Despite this he goes out to dance wearing sexy leather pants (that I doubt hed be able to afford, since hes been living in a dingy and dirty building with hobos laying at the bottom of his staircase??) later that week. Not to mention how his scar supposedly makes him ugly and insecure (which I normally would love) , but the first day at his new job, a man comes up to him, tells him that he's easy on the eyes, and asks if he wants to have sex! He isn't the only one: Logan, who's straight and has only been dating women up to that point, is described to be attracted to him from day one! While I know Kaden's supposed to seem pitiable - even lovable - he just seems pathetic to me. As for Logan; I don't really like the whole "Gay for you" thing. He's been a straight man all his life, and when he's suddenly attracted to a guy much younger than him he just shrugs it off and doesn't give it another thought No one else seems to think it strange that hes suddenly dating a teenager either! The story just seemed too unreal and inconsistent for me. Maybe someone else will like it, but I did not. Good narration but the story falls far short Any additional comments? The narration by Jeff Gelder was very good, as I have come to expect and enjoy from him. Unfortunately, the story in no way, shape or form worked for me. This story requires the complete and total suspension of disbelief for every single part, which is impossible. You can have one or two things require suspension of disbelief in a story, and still have it work, but EVERY element? NO. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/All-the-Colors-of-Love-Audiobook/B00I45X1QI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

At home, Harry spends half of his time getting medical treatments and the other half tied up in his father's underwater lair. It was different when his mother was alive, but she disappeared when Harry was six. He can't seem to stay out of trouble at school, and his new roommate, Antonin, thinks hes a spaz, but somehow Harry has to find a way to stop his father's evil plans.

Members Reviews: Fantastic Gay YA story Would you listen to All the Colors of Love again? Why? Yes. Paul Morey is the best narrator! What other book might you compare All the Colors of Love to and why? Us Three and The Red Sheet by Mia Kerick. All three are really good Gay YA stories, and those are hard to find. What about Paul Moreys performance did you like? His ability to change is tones, nuances and voice from one character to another. And when a specific character has various emotions. If you could take any character from All the Colors of Love out to dinner, who would it be and why? Antonin, I'd love to pick his brain. Any additional comments? The description of this story is a little bit misleading, or I missunderstood. I was expecting a darker type of Sky High (the high school for super hero's kids disney movie) with a gay twist. What I got instead was definitely dark in some places, but also an uplifting story about a young man trying to find his way in life, separate from his evil father, equating everything he feels to colors. Harry's mom left when he was six years old, supposedly on a trip with his father, but she never returned. His life from that day on was the content of nightmares. He had already been a medical gunie pig of sorts, enduring 'life saving' injections and now abuse across the board; physical, mental and verbal, all at the hands of his father. Harry bounces from school to school as he lashes out at everyone and everything that isn't his father, wishing that it were, resulting in nothing but trouble. He's just been dumped off at his latest school with the threat of being locked under the sink for the rest of his natural life if he steps so much as one toe out of line. Antonin is a model student, graphic artist and openly gay. And now he is Harry's new rommate. Antonin comes from a loving, overprotective and sligtly psychotic family. He's very talented with his comic book with the writing and the art, he's also very inquistive by nature. Harry see's him as nosey and dorkish at the start, but when Antonin steps up to some bully's in defense of Harry, the two become friends. Antonin accepts Harry as his friend and trusts him to spite his shady past, the two grow closer with each passing day. Harry seriously fights the attraction, but not for the reasons one would think. He see's being gay as wrong but he is in no way hateful or hurtful to Antonin because of his sexuality. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Into-the-Wind-Audiobook/B010WHJ42U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More amazing mermen This is no book for the un-initiated! Though I feel you could read it as a standalone, I think youd be confused and missing a lot! Shira Anthony puts SO MUCH detail and description into these stories. Her most powerful weapon is her world-building. It is complete, full and gorgeous. She is not afraid to give our guys their love story and then yank it from their feet a few times before letting them be happy, either. From book one we know that Teran and Ian have a history far beyond this life-span. This story explores that history. There are several new characters, Odhran being one another pirate captain who shows Teran more about his past. There is an epic I mean EPIC battle, some sadness and then some wonder. If you are a fan of the series you wont want to miss this installment and follow our Teran and Ian through their adventures. Audio Michael Stellman narrated book one and does another excellent job with book 2. Story I Liked this series so far, hope there is a lot more in the series!!! Beuatiful and Breathtaking This is the second book of the series and you do need to read them in order as each picks up where the other left off. High fantasy isnt one of my favorite genres though I love a good well-written one from time to time especially if the subject is myths. This an absolutely amazing take on merfolk. This story picks up with Taren and Ian exploring their newfound love and Ian teaching Taren the ways of being a Merman. Taren is also learning to use and embrace his powers by the leader of the Mainland people that is a powerful mage. Taren realizes he will have to go find the Rune stone to save his people. This book Taren spends a lot of time meeting Odhran and a little more about Treande, the soul he shares. We learn some secrets and backstory about the merpeople. There isnt as much excitement at first in this book as in the last, but I found it intriguing and interesting. I will warn you Odhrans story is sad. I again love how Shira works the title into the story. Where this book was a bit steadier paced throughout towards the end it picks up speed and goes out with an epic bang. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Who-Knows-the-Storm-Audiobook/B00TYQRP3G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Be forewarned that the ending, while a HEA, doesn't wrap up all issues. I really enjoyed this book overall, although there are some glaring world building holes. In a nutshell, NYC has experienced a catastrophe and becomes this lawless din of sin and crime. The problem is, apparently the rest of the U.S. is intact but turns a blind eye to NY and let's this happen. Maybe this is explained away in future books. But if you can ignore that, the romance and underlying mystery are quite good. This is an enemies to lovers romance between Cade and Nox. Nox is a vigilante trying to fly below the radar for the sake of his son, Sam. Cade is a high priced prostitute who mistakenly falls into a bigger mystery that changes his life and brings Nox into his life. It is very well written and I look forward to the next installment. The narrator does a great job of bringing these characters to life. Worth a credit. Jonathan Young does a great job Any additional comments? Nox is a vigilante in dystopian New York after a massive flood has left the big Apple in ruins. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bad-Idea-Audiobook/B00JEMQ888 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great for a comic book lover but too long for me Let me start out by saying Damon Suede is an absolutely awesome writer. Anyone who can weave into a story that unicorns are just weaponized ponies has some kind of paranormal muse whispering in his ear. This book is beautifully written, especially if you are a comic book fan or movie geek. He gives shout outs to, Marvel, DC, and other obscure comic book publishers, as well as, Bruce Campbell, The Tick and other obscure pop cult icons. There is some amazingly detailed background on all things comic, movie and TV geek. On the romance side, the MC get together fairly early in the book, so very little angst and a lot of very hot smex. The story is mainly about their rollercoaster ride of a relationship. Charlie David does a fantastic job as usually in bringing the characters to life and drawing the reader into these characters. That said, Im afraid I am NOT that into comics or the movie and TV industry and was kind of bored with it at about hour 8 of the 14 hour narration. Although that stuff is interesting, 14 hours of it gets REALLY old. There is really nothing happening in the story except interesting industry knowledge and the two MCs living their geek dream and trying to communicate with one another. Which is sweet, but again 14 HOURS!! I'm afraid I like a little more drama in my romance books. I would say if you want a really intriguing, well written listen about the comic and movie industries (there is even some gaming stuff) and a just OK romance, it is worth a credit. Fantastic Brilliantly written. beautiful and sexy. my only complaint is a minor one with Charlie David. He does superbly well but every once in a while mispronounced a word and it can be a bit jarring. But overall a great book. I look forward to many more books by Damon Suede. Entertaining listen.. except I read the book and loved it so decided to listen since it had been a while. I loved the story and my favorite characters is Silas. He is so sweet and lovable. The narration was... odd. He did a very good job for the most part but he repeatedly mispronounced words. Not just the difficult words but simple ones too. It was just weird from a professional narrator. It would not stop me from listening again. underwhelming basic story, nothing really exciting about it. I was not a fan of sounds given to auxiliary actions of objects. did we really need the sound of the door closing to be written or the sound of paper falling. I fast forwarded the book so I can be done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Purgatory-Audiobook/B00ECZ9LMM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/358/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Best first person narration I've ever heard What did you love best about Purgatory? I can't add anything to previous reviews about the quality of the story itself, so I won't even try. Suffice it to say I agree with it all. I'll keep my review to the quality of the narrator. Not only does he get the accents dead right, but I could hear a distinct difference between the voices of the southern characters. There are parts where Naramore is voicing Drew, who has a gag in his mouth, and I swear he can express more emotion through muffled grunts than most people can with their clear voices. (I can't help but wonder if Naramore actually put a gag in his own mouth in the recording studio.) An especially memorable scene is where Ian is tending to Drew after a particularly cruel session of torture, and Drew has lost his short-term memory as a result. I closed my eyes listening to it and could imagine myself in Ian's place, Drew's head in my lap as he described how he felt, his voice slurred and scared. Part of the quality of the narration is the quality of the writing. This is a book I downloaded without reading it first, and although physical books can easily move me emotionally and drag me bodily into the story through print, it is rare that a narrator can do so without my having read the book first. Mann is definitely an excellent writer, but without an equally excellent narrator the story would definitely lose something just being listened to. Historic Gay Fiction- Must Read! Would you listen to Purgatory again? Why? I'd waited until the last minute to select a few books for a long trip and would probably have passed this by if I'd had more time (not really into pain). The book is so much more than just a story about two guys into BDSM.The story is hauntingly beautiful, intense, provocative, often disturbing, and impossible to put down. What did you like best about this story? The historical setting & insight we're given into the thoughts and actions of the characters. The unexpected plot twists showing our capacity for hope & kindness even in the face of adversity. What does Mikael Naramore bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator is incredible! One of my initial concerns after beginning the story was if the deep south, Virginian accent would get annoying after a while. No worries. Mr. Naramore has quite a range of voices for the characters.
