Title: Takeover Author: Anna Zabo Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Michael Sebastian thought that Curacao would be the perfect place to have a little fun in the sun - and between the sheets. So far no one has struck his interest - until Sam Anderson walks into the bar. With one look at his tense body and expensive suit, Michael knows that this is a man in need of release. And Michael is more than willing to lend a hand. Shattered by the most intense sex he's ever had, Sam has to face the facts - one night with a handsome, dominating stranger is all he gets before returning to the closet he's been suffocating in for years. But when Sam starts his new job as the CEO of a failing technology company, he discovers that Michael is one of his new employees. While Michael is desperate for another night with Sam, he knows he shouldn't get involved with his boss, let alone another man who can't accept who he is. But as they're forced to work together to save the company, the desire sparking between them becomes impossible to ignore. Contains mature themes. Critic Reviews: "Recommended for those seeking a solid BDSM-tinged M/M romance with plenty of backstory." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: I absolutely loved Iggy Tomas narration! What did you like best about Takeover? What did you like least? I liked the narration the best, the middle and very end of the story least. Any additional comments? I love the boss falling for a subordinate trope, and I especially love the whole one night stand turns into something more trope, so I was pre-disposed to loving this. I absolutely loved Iggy Tomas narration of the story! Once again, Toma blends different character voices and situations brilliantly. I also loved the kinky dominating sex, even when it made me all squirmy. What didnt work for me so much was the mystery with the board member, which was interesting until it came to no conclusion, which I didnt understand at all. I mean, I would have loved to have seen a final confrontation. The story also stalls midway through and could have been greatly aided by cutting about an hour and a half of gristle from the meat. Bottom Line: The narration is rock solid, the story less so, but still recommended for those who like a little kink with their business politics. Great book I loved the book and the story was good though a little short in the ending. The characters was good and I felt as I got to know them. The voice reading was very clear and read with feelings. Well worth a read. So many M/M romances are thin on plot. Takeover has all the elements - engaging story, characters with some complexity, plus good 'romance'. So nice to find a book in this genre that isn't a basic Cinderella story. I hope to see more books by this author. Sweet, tamed MM Romance Takeover follows the story of Sam, a successful CEO, who just sealed a deal in working with a company in Pittsburgh. He travels to Curacao before he begins this new job and is then approached by Michael. They share one helluva hot night together, then part ways the next day. This doesn't mean that their one night of passion is forgotten, when they return home, the thoughts of one another still lingers.

Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A relationship-challenged actor unexpectedly finds love in the arms of his childhood best friend. "Sexiest Man Alive" and Golden Globe-winning actor Ethan Baker lights up the screen but fizzles in his personal life. When his latest girlfriend breaks up with him, Ethan turns to his one "forever" person - Jude Harrison. But as Ethan makes the familiar drive to his best friend's house, an unexpected detour and a bewildering passenger take him through places in time he'd long forgotten. Suddenly, Ethan sees Jude's actions over the years from a different perspective, but it's his own reaction that's the biggest surprise. Members Reviews: short and sweet This is a short story that recently got re-released. Ethan, a self-absorbed actor, has been best friends with Jude most of his life. Jude is his anchor in a storm, and the one place Ethan knows he can be himself. Jude has been in love with Ethan since the moment they first met, but Ethan didnt know. One night, after yet another break-up with a woman, Ethan meets a stranger on the highway who takes him on a Dickensian journey through time to show him another view-point of events leading up to the current moment in time. Luckily, he finally figures out what hes meant to see and finds Jude to confront him on his feelings. ** Its a very short, sweet story that makes you smile and sigh and just as all Cardenos stories do feel good inside. I loved that when Ethan finally figures things out, he and Jude just jump in, no questions asked. Though Ethan hadnt ever been with a man, he didnt let that slow him down one bit. Audio: John Solo did a great job with this. Nothing flashy, good when there were womens voices. Very easy to listen to and a nice way to experience this story. For both the audio and the story 4.5 of 5 stars Loved it!!! What did you love best about Places in Time? The relationship between Ethan and Judy even before it turned sexual. What did you like best about this story? That the first person Ethan thinks of when he gets dumped by his latest gf is his best friend Jude, showed me that there was more emotional attachments there than Ethan realised. Have you listened to any of John Solos other performances before? How does this one compare? No but thought this was excellent. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Ethan realizes how he really fells about Jude. Any additional comments? Just wish it was a longer story I enjoyed it so much but I so enjoy all this author's stories. Lots of love to this awesome trip! I loved everything about this book. It was short and to the point but jam packed with emotion and has secual tension between the 2 MCs in spades. It was also a lot of fun! I adored John Solo's narration. He got the tone perfect. I wouldn't change a thing... Any additional comments? Short, but sweet and really well done, this friends to lovers novella hit my sweet spot early on. Wonderfully narrated by John Solo, I enjoyed going on the journey with Ethan, who learns just how much his best friend Jude has always been there for him. John Solo does such a great job narrating both the male and female character voices of the story. I loved the byplay between Ethan and Ginger as Ethan goes through the pivotal moments of his past in order to open his eyes to his future.

For The Bite Of It Audiobook by Viki Lyn, Vina Grey

Title: For The Bite Of It Subtitle: Book One of the Orbus Arcana Series Author: Viki Lyn, Vina Grey Narrator: Chip Wood Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 11-18-14 Publisher: Vicki Gaia & Vina Grey Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A vampire, a cupcake, plus one sexy cop, is a recipe for trouble. Vincent Kamateros is an exiled vampire making a routine living as the owner of a cupcake bakery in Arizona. Until a car with a dead driver crashes through the wall of his shop, bringing after it All-American closeted cop, John Reeder. Smitten the instant he sees John, but bound to silence by the Vampire High Council, he can never reveal his true self to John. John Reeder can't control his attraction to the sexy Italian baker. But as addictive as the sex is, John can't overcome his fear of rejection for being gay, and open his heart to a man with so many secrets. Members Reviews: I'm hooked! Well worth a credit! Love this vampire tale! Especially the combination of royalty, detective, flamboyant-like best friend, loyal sisters and modern day setting. Highly recommend the series. Empowering Relationships are tricky, I loved the play of words between the main characters. I can't wait for book two. Thanks Just a teaser Do u know the feeling you got when you went to se "lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring" and was left with the feeling - that is not a movie -only the intro! Well this is kind of like that - promising story but Nothing gets resolved and it ends very abruptly - it actually was so abrupt that it was several seconds before i could comprehend "i hope u have enjoyed this audiobook" wasnt a part of the story. The narrator kind of says it without pausing first to signal the end. Other than that he is a good narrator exept (i dont know if its him or the authors) a couple of times where he says the name of the wrong MC in a couple of places. If i had to start over i would definitely wait for the rest of the story before i started listening. But i would absolutely buy it, because it has the potential of becoming a very interesting series. Not what was expected Any additional comments? I listened to the whole book, but man, I couldn't do it again. There wasn't enough interest to look for the second book, much less keep it in my library, So if you like a short story, with a plain narrative, and a hot vampire more power to you Great vampire story and wonderful romance I think this is an underappreciated series/audiobook that deserves some more attention. I read/listened to this originally last year and re-listened this year because its just so good! This is a GFY/OFY with the very staid and stoic cop, John Reeder, finding himself inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic Vincent. Not only is Vincent potentially involved in the crime John is investigating, hes a guy! Hes also got strange friends and is clearly hiding a lot of secrets ie hes a vampire! So we get John trying to deny himself his attraction to Vincent on at least three fronts. Johns family is very conservative as well, save for his sister, and he worries about their response to his newfound sexuality. As if that werent enough, Vincents family is not welcoming at all and brining a human home is a no-no. I really loved the emotion in this story. The mystery does monopolize this first book, but the emotions between John and Vincent are building and its a slow burn to an intense passion that gets set up for book two. So while book two remains my favorite of the pair, book one is no slouch. The writing is excellent, the character development superb and the physical tension intense.

Redeeming Hope Audiobook by Shell Taylor

Title: Redeeming Hope Author: Shell Taylor Narrator: Drew Rosenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Fifteen years ago, Elijah Langley's world came to an abrupt halt with the death of his high school boyfriend. He keeps his past - and his sexual orientation - hidden until he attends a fundraiser for The Center for HOPE, an LGBT youth center, where he meets Adam Lancaster, HOPE's infuriatingly stubborn and sexy founder. A survivor of a turbulent childhood, Adam understands better than most the challenges his youth face. He's drawn to Elijah's baby blues and devilish smile but refuses to compromise his values and climb back into the closet for anyone - not even the man showering time and money on HOPE. Months of constant flirting wear down Adam's resolve until he surrenders to his desires, but Elijah can't shake his demons. When a youth from the center is brutally assaulted, Elijah must find a way to confront the fears and memories that are starting to ruin his life, so he can stand strong for those he loves. Members Reviews: Well written and authentic Eli is a rich guy and a big fish in a small pond. He had a bad experience in high school that has led him to closeted life and/or identifying more bi leaning het than anything since. Adam is the polar opposite. He wears his sexuality like a badge of honor and runs a center for LGBT youth in the same small town. After a fund raiser Adam and Eli strike up a back and forth enmity of attraction and some scorn on Adams part. They end up devoting most of their time together building the Adams new center and helping one of the kids, Kollin, deal with his homophobic parents. Without giving away too much of the story, something happens to Kollin that forces Elis hand and makes him face his issues. ** Now that Ive read the subsequent books in this series, I can appreciate this book for what it has to offer more than I did on its initial reading. I absolutely loved watching Eli emerge from his past through his work with Kollin and the center. (We just got to see the amazing person Kollin turns into in Book 3 and the groundwork is laid here.) Adam was both fun and annoying in that he kept pushing Eli away then drawing him back in, but he was blunt and snarky and another great character. I was just as frustrated as Eli by his hot and cold routine, but again after reading Book 2 a lot of his actions make more sense. Occasionally I didnt feel Eli behaved as Id expect a man in his position to act, and this brought me out of the story at times. Adam, however, continually felt real if wishy-washy. For the most part I think this story does a really good job of staying in the land of possible and really feeling authentic. There were lots of ways the characters showed very human reactions and yet there was still the appropriately sweet (sometimes hot) romance taking place. As the first book in a really amazing series I think this did a fantastic job of starting things off with a bang and gives the reader a lot to both love and hope for in the coming installments. 4.5 of 5 stars Audio Drew Rosenberg is a new narrator to me, and according to Audible this is his only narration. His voice was really smooth and very easy to listen to. To me he did this very serious and sometimes heavy book a disservice in that his voices are sometimes more like caricatures than authentic people.

Stalker Audiobook by R.D. Hero

Hero Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 08-19-15 Publisher: Less Than Three Press, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Eric Holden is the hottest football player at Las Juntas College - and the straightest, but Abel Epstein never got the memo. He's always one step behind his white knight, with camera in hand, and no one's ever gotten in his way until Eric's best friend, Pacer Daringer, cast a shadow over Abel's happily ever after. Now Pacer has the little stalker in his sights, and he's determined to teach Abel a lesson. What he didn't count on was that Abel might like it. Members Reviews: okay Not bad but not good. I like books with BDSM but this authors take on discovering kink bothers me. Fiction or not my mind, on several occasions, was screaming "safe word"! I want my own personal stalker I flippin LOVED this book. LOVED IT!!! I mean, I loved it SO much that even though I just finished it, I'm going to listen to it AGAIN. And I just don't do that. Ever. I don't know who R.D. Hero is, but s/he is my m/m author hero!!! FANTASTIC LISTEN. Ok... enough fanfare.... This story is all about its title, and it is worth a credit, cash, whatever... JUST GET IT. Michael Stellman is a great reader. Ill be on the lookout for more of his stuff. As for characters, meet Abel, Twinky Stalker/Photographer extraordinaire who is stalking Eric, the typical virile college football Hercules in the flesh. And last, but certainly not least, meet Pacer, Hercules' buff BFF and football teammate, who has unwavering high self-esteem, and a persistent, dominating personality complex to boot!! Oh and he has his sights set on Abel. WATCH OUT! LOLOL Can I just say how much I admire Pacer. I certainly wish I had been just as secure in who I was, and what I wanted when I was his age. (I need a time machine!) Anyway, I won't give up all the details, but I will mention the things I appreciated most about this book. I love reading about personal growth, sexual exploration, messing up, but being an adult about it and actually apologizing! Then theres the always heart-warming idea of finding someone-- friend or lover--who you can be 'more' honest and more like the 'real' you when around him. In addition, its a delight to read stories where just as it is true in real life, 'story' life NEVER goes according to plan. How about the realization that love, or the possibility of love, can and probably will be a messy (but fun) adventure. Oh and of course, the notion that it really is OK to make mistakes -- I mean, look at me, I make a LOT of them!! Think about it, how else would you end up with a happy-ish ending? Thanks R.D!!! Abel and Pacer Any additional comments? Michael Stellman is just perfection when narrating older teens and Young adults characters. The spark of life he brings to characters, as well as, the world the author created is entertainment at its best. What a great story The author pulls you in to the story and it is nicely written. The narration was great and I plan to see what other books this author has, same with the narrator! Fabulous! Loved the story. Loved the narration. It was so good I listened to it twice back to back. A keeper.

Their love and support helped raise their adopted son. Their hard work and dedication grew their farm from raising cattle and boarding horses to expanding into therapy riding sessions. Surrounded by a loving circle of friends, Geoff and Eli couldn't ask for more. Until driven Eli loses his energy, and the doctor gives them the dire diagnosis of cancer. Caught up in never-ending doctor's appointments, surgeries, and treatments, their world turns upside down. With so many people dependent on them, they must pull together to put on a brave face, continue living as best they can, and care for their family. Geoff fears Eli, the love of his life, while a fighter, may not endure this battle, but neither is willing to consider succumbing as an option. Members Reviews: Cancer is a *itch While in some ways this was a hard book to get through because Andrews Grey lets their fears and pain show through. Yet it is uplifting because they refuse to give up or give in to cancer. They find ways through and new ways to connect. This story doesn't sugar coat the process of moving through the treatment of cancer.

He never told anyone about the love of his life, which left him to mourn alone when he found out the man he gave his heart to had been killed in combat. Now, his heart has had time to heal, but he's not sure he's ready to let himself move on. Until he meets Cam Morgan.... Without a job lined up following graduation, Cam Morgan took his best friend up on his offer to move to Milwaukee and stay with him until he could get on his feet. The last thing he wanted to do the day after getting to town was go to a party filled with a bunch of jocks. Sure, they were "professional athletes", but Cam was convinced that bigger bank accounts didn't make them any more accepting of people like him. He certainly didn't expect to meet Jason, the Mavericks' catcher who broke every stereotype he'd had. What started out as one hot, sweaty night together quickly grows into something deeper. Jason welcomes Cam into his home and his life, but now he has to teach the younger man that it's not a sign of weakness to let people help you. Members Reviews: Very confusing!!! A good story, but must say that you have to pay attention, to a lot of detail!! Disappointing Any additional comments? I was really disappointed in the characters in this book, both Cam and Jason. I was really looking forward to Jason's story also because he was such a rock to Sean with his relationship issues but he fell really short for me. My problem with Jason was: 1) why would you go after a team mates friend when you knew he had feelings for this particular person 2) You were more upset with not having someone to cook you breakfast rather than Cam not being there in the first place. 3) totally ignoring Cam when the whole team was around Cam was: 1) being a total CRAP friend to Drew/totally disregarding any of his feelings or just talking to him while he was sober plus not being there as a friend/person should be! 2) saying one thing and meaning another, how messed up is that?!?!! 3) you piss all over someone (Jason) when they are sticking up for you even though they may be outing themselves Just too many things annoyed me with the one, good thing I read the 3rd book first otherwise I would have never read any more after this book. Sorry to say this one wasn't what I expected it to be. :-( Not even sure if I should go on from here reading the series. ( I did enjoy book 1 and 3 though A beautiful story Christopher Rain has a wonderful voice and makes this wonderful book seem as though it's happening now . A solid story-- I love this books plz give me some more books on this series I can't wait any longer plz Totally enjoyable I really enjoy this series, have read them and am now enjoying the audio, which is like reading a new story. I liked the narrator except for Cam. It was strange to have this slight guy have a really deep voice, didn't feel like it fit.

Murder in Pastel Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: Murder in Pastel Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Tristan Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-15 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Ten years ago, Cosmo Bari vanished, taking with him his legendary masterpiece, Virgin in Pastel. Since that day, no one in the seaside art colony of Steeple Hill has heard from the eccentric painter. Surrounded by an extended family of Cosmo's colorful compatriots, mystery writer Kyle Bari believes he has come to terms with being abandoned by his famous father. Then his ex-lover, Adam MacKinnon, arrives with his new partner, the beautiful but poisonous Brett. Brett has an unerring instinct for other people's weak spots, and soon the quiet colony is seething with hostility and suspicion as Brett begins to hint that he knows what happened to the missing artist. Members Reviews: Summer Loving & Murder... Okay, I'll admit it...I love anything Josh Landon writes. That being said, Murder in Pastel is his best. Buckle-up, sonny-boy....you're in for one wild ride. And by the very last sentence, you'll be in tears. Adolescent crushes, murderous plots, scheming, a brilliant artist vanishes leaving behind an only child. Or did he? No one is what they seem in this quaint, yet deadly, artist's community. Two words: READ IT! Cordially, Barkley Prescott Page turner. Kept me guessing. This was a fantastic read/listen. Suspenseful and never a slow part. Kept me guessing. Spoiler: I loved everything about this book. However, I felt extremely terrible for Brett. He had a terrible life and though he wasn't that great of a person, I still can't help but feel awful. I knew his death was necessary to move the plot along and open opportunity for romance between the two protagonists, but I wish there was more closure for him. It seemed that he was quickly forgotten and casted aside. Wonderful Each time I read/hear a Josh Lanyon book I am behind thrilled. He writes so well, he gives us great stories, his books are always wonderful. This book was no exception, fabulous! One of the best I love everything Mr. Lanyon writes. Have read almost all of his wonderful works. His choice of narrators has been excellent. Thank you Josh for many hours of fascinating listening. Would love to see many of your works put on film. An Okay First Attempt What did you like best about Murder in Pastel? What did you like least? The best, as always, is just Josh Lanyon's voice. He (or she- you never know with M/M) just has a natural ear for how to narrate and present characters that sound natural and real- a skill many M/M writers lack. As far as the least pleasing aspect of the book, besides the constant use of the word 'lover' (ugh! Just stop, guys! Nobody says that anymore), I would have to say the story itself. It's not bad, per se, it's just it very much feels like a first attempt, a rough draft for a better book. To be fair, I might not have felt that way had I not already read Lanyon's Adrien English series; however, having done so, it was hard to ignore some of the glaring similarities. For instance, both this book and Adrien English feature protagonists that suffer from a heart ailment resulting from a childhood bout with rheumatic fever. Both protagonists are writers with an esoteric knowledge of vintage mystery literature. Both also take digitalis for their heart condition, a medication that features in a poisoning subplot in both story lines.

Hector and Steele's relationship moves forward with the push of the boys arrival. They have much to face that helps cement their new lives together. A truly lovely story When I first spotted this book I did not realize it was book 2. I immediately checked out book 1 and after reading the reviews was regretting that I bought book 2. The blurb drew me to read it nonetheless and I am so pleased that I did. It was filled w/ love, love between the two MCs, between their friends, between the two boys they took in. It warmed my heart and I went to bed feeling warm all over. I totally recommend this story, you will not be disappointed. great storyline excellent narrator I enjoyed the story very much it shows the compassion and love between a family and loved ones.

Aspiring writer Caden Walker thought he had the perfect life until he discovered his boyfriend in bed with his best friend. Leaving everything behind in New York, he returns to Havenmoore to re-evaluate his life from his parent's guest bedroom. When his mom offers him a job working for the charity she runs, helping people struggling with addiction, he's not in a position to turn it down.

Is Caden ready to let go of his New York dream to take a chance on something unexpected? Both men are faced with difficult times of change, but can they make it through the storm to find the shelter? Members Reviews: good book this had a good story but the conflict at the end was lame and unnecessary Sweet but unintentional Funny at times The story is good and overall i liked it. It does have some flaws (like a extremely Young Well-established family doctor, she must have skipped like 6-10grades). The Funny part is that both MCs Seem to suffer from the same character flaw, because they both Seem to have the attention span of a goldfish. They go of to do something EXRTEMELY important ("i have to find him, what if he is dead - uh theres my ex, let me go have coffees with him" kind of situations) and ends up doing something Else for an hour or Two. The mother is EVIL MAJOR and i do Think that she should have had some redeeming qualities or have suffered an entirely different fate Than she did. But looking past this, the story is a sweet love story that i enjoyed Good hurt/comfort book, great narration Elias is an addict. His last stint in rehab is court ordered when he almost died of an overdose. He blames his mothers lack of love for his addiction and his sister for being too perfect. Hes 26 and lived most of his life under the influence and on the streets. His twin sister, Ellie, is the towns perfect doctor with a thriving practice. His mother is the towns mayor and his father died before he was born. This time around his mother has set him up with an apartment and a counseling plan. This is where he meets Caden. Caden is a writer from New York who is trying to work on his novel while taking a break in Maine to work for his mothers rehab program. Though the two have no business doing it, they fall in live while working with one another. This causes no end of troubles for the two and threatens to de-rail both of their mothers careers. ** Elias is one of those characters who make your heart bleed.

Reed Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The character you loved to hate in Chaser becomes the character you will simply love in Raining Men. It's been raining men for most of Bobby Nelson's adult life. Normally, he wouldn't have it any other way, but lately something's missing. Now, he wants the deluge to slow to a single special drop. But is it even possible for Bobby to find "the one" after endless years of hooking up? When Bobby's father passes away, Bobby finally examines his rocky relationship with the man and how it might have contributed to his inability to find the love he yearns for. Guided by a sexy therapist, a Sex Addicts Anonymous group, a well-endowed Chihuahua named Johnny Wadd, and Bobby's own cache of memories, Bobby takes a spiritual, sexual, and emotional journey to discover that life's most satisfactory love connections lie in quality, not quantity. And when he's ready to love not only himself but someone else, sex and love fit, at last, into one perfect package. Members Reviews: Man Whore seeking redemption! Okay this book was a little long. After awhile I was wishing for better luck for a man who made so many bad choices in just sucking of random strangers in restaurants and letting everyone watch him have sex with multiple partners in bathhouses. Finally he gets the help he needs and even though he realize he's a sex addict he still wants random hookups. The end he finds his truce and a new romance that's normal. Then the book ends. We still don't know if he's hiv free with all the hooking up we were submitted to. Maybe their will be a third book to explain his new life. Worth a credit or Amazon book to audio purchase. A Hot Sequel Would you listen to Raining Men again? Why? In a heartbeat. Some sequels can be a little disappointing, but this is not the case with 'Raining Men', especially when you have such brilliant narration by John Solo. What other book might you compare Raining Men to, and why? Chaser by the same author and narrator. Which character as performed by John Solo was your favourite? The main character, Bobby. In 'Chaser' I absolutely detested Bobby who was so narcissistic and didn't care about anyone but himself, but in this sequel I grew to love him. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There were a quite a few, that's how good I thought this book was! Any additional comments? I was somewhat apprehensive about listening to 'Raining Men' as I didn't think it possible that this could be as good as 'Chaser'. How wrong could I be!.

Title: The Road Home Author: Michael Thomas Ford Narrator: Blake Somerset Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 06-11-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When a car accident leaves photographer Burke Crenshaw in need of temporary full-time care, he finds himself back in the one place no forty-year-old chooses to be--his childhood bedroom. There, in the Vermont home where he grew up, Burke begins the long process of recuperation, and watches as his widowed father finds happiness in a new relationship that's a constant reminder of everything Burke wants and lacks. Exploring local history, Burke discovers an intriguing series of letters from a Civil War soldier to his fianc. With the help of librarian Sam Guffrey, he begins to research a 125-year-old mystery that seems to be reaching into the present day. The more Burke delves into the past, the more he's forced to confront the person he has become: the choices he made and those he avoided, his ideas of what it takes to be a successful gay man, his feelings about his mother's death, and the suppressed tension that simmers between himself and his father. Compelling, frankly funny, and often wise, The Road Home is the story of one man's coming to terms with who he is, what he wants out of life, and where he belongs--and the complex, surprising path that finally takes him there. Members Reviews: Unusual! Satisfying! A technically very well written and superbly narrated piece. Other Amazon reviews have praised and criticized various aspects and deservedly. I appreciated the main character. I related very well to him, sometimes too much! (that is a good thing). I have never read anything else by Ford, this was the first, so that his foray into unusual territories (the pagan thing, the civil war sub-plot, ect) was a pleasant surprise. One review said this was about the protagonist and his father. No, it's not, that's secondary. The story is about a near middle-aged gay man whose trek through life has been far less than expected. He wants more and like many of us, doesn't know if, when or where that's going to manifest. The pagan sub-plot by the way was a bold bit that actually works. I have had a bit of experience in that vein myself, did not work for me, but that's the way she goes. Some of the prose was overly baked and in my view entirely unnecessary and in the beginning nearly caused me to stop the read. Glad I didn't stop, but one star subtracted from the review because of the near miss (LOL). One last thing ... I hope Ford reprises the characters and writes a Part II, I did like it well enough to want more! No need to check your scepticism at the door! At last, a book you don't need to check your scepticism at the door for. The characters feel real. The author doesn't feel the need to wrap up every minute detail, but concentrates on the the protagonist's story line. The "ghosts" in the plot didn't feel contrived, and even the naked swimming ritual at the pond, however bizarre, added to the emotion of the Burk's return home. A really fantastic book. A Great Storyline and Characters Finally a gay themed book that doest have erotic sex scenes every chapter. I love that the author spent time creating a beautiful story with even better characters. I can not wait to start reading the next book in the series. typical Ford book, I enjoy his stories This book has several plot twists that I did not expect, the ending was totally expected as far as Blake's love interest is concerned.

Title: Just Stay: More Than Friends, Book 4 Author: Aria Grace Narrator: Chris Chambers Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-15 Publisher: Aria Grace Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When Spencer agreed to help take down the leader of a Portland crime family, he didn't realize he'd end the night with the bloodied body of an unknowing accomplice in his arms. His initial interest in Dylan was purely physical, but when Dylan stepped in front of Topher's gun and saved Spencer, the lust quickly turned into something more. Something he wasn't sure he'd ever find in the fast-paced dot com world he was from. For mature listeners. Members Reviews: Short, Sexy and Suspenseful. Would you listen to Just Stay: More Than Friends, Book 4 again? Why? Yes, I would. Did you not see my headline? Who was your favorite character and why? I liked Spencer, he was stronger than I initially thought he'd be. He surprised me. Have you listened to any of Chris Chamberss other performances before? How does this one compare? Nope, this is my first. But I'll seek out more from him. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I liked that I was surprised by the content. Any additional comments? Dylan and Spencer meet and fall for each other under the strangest of circumstances. Spencer is working undercover trying to take down a Mafioso type family and Dylan is the targets friend and bodyguard. Dylan has been growing tired of Tophers manipulations for a while, so when Topher pulls a gun on Spencer, Dylan steps in the way. Over the next several weeks, Dylan and Spencer exchange phone calls and get to know one another better through long distance calls and occasional phone sex. When Tophers sins fall back on Dylan and Spencer winds up sideways involved, Dylan will do whatever it takes to keep the man hes fallen for out of harms way. I was surprised by where the storyline in the book went, pleasantly surprised. There is a mystery that slowly unravels and I was kind of on the edge of my seat throughout. I loved the chemistry between Dylan and Spencer, but Grace also took the time to let them get to know each other before they fell into bed, and eventually in love. They were sexy and passionate and sometimes surprising with where they went intimately speaking. This is the first book Ive listened to with this narrator and he wasnt half bad. There were a few characters that had the same vocal tone, so that was a little confusing, but the main characters all had their own voice, so he is forgiven. Ill be looking for more of his work, thats for sure. If you are looking for a short, suspenseful, sexy story then this one is a must read. Loved it! Where does Just Stay: More Than Friends, Book 4 rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Chris Chambers did an excellent job! He was definitely memorable and I will be looking out for his name in the future. What was one of the most memorable moments of Just Stay: More Than Friends, Book 4? The phone sex. Hot hot hot! Have you listened to any of Chris Chamberss other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't. Unfortunately but that will be remedied. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Andre's story. He was just so sweet. I hope he gets his own HEA. Any additional comments? I can't wait to get to the rest of the books in this series! **A free copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review** When Two Worlds Collide Aria Grace had done it again. She has brought the plight of sex-workers into the mainstream with Hands On.

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs Language: English Release date: 08-27-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Terrell Washington's childhood was a trifecta of suck: being black, gay, and poor in America has no upside. Terrell climbed his way out of the hood only to hit a glass ceiling and stop, frozen, a chain restaurant bartender with a journalism degree. His one bright spot is Colby Meyers, a coworker who has no fear, no inhibitions, and sees no boundaries. Terrell and Colby spend their summers at the river and their breaks on the back dock of Papiano's. As terrified as Terrell is of coming out, he's helpless to stay away from Colby's magnetic smile and contagious laughter. But Colby is out of college now, and he has grand plans for the future - plans Terrell is sure will leave his scrawny black ass in the Sacramento dust until a breathless moment stolen from the chaos of the restaurant tells Terrell he might be wrong. When the moment is shattered by a mystery and an act of violence, Terrell and Colby are left with two puzzles: who killed their scumbag manager, and how to fit their own lives - the black and the white of them - into a single shining tomorrow. Members Reviews: Another Amy Lane winner If you could sum up Bolt-Hole in three words, what would they be? Different than any Amy Lane book, she took a chance on an interracial relationship and I think she succeeded! What did you like best about this story? different than your normal m/m formula What about Nick J. Russos performance did you like? He did a great job with the voices, true entertainment, not just reading! Who was the most memorable character of Bolt-Hole and why? Colby Any additional comments? Amy always writes outside the box! great audio and book! So good! I only have good things to say, awesome story, wonderful narrator. Loved it all! I haven't read very many interracial books in the mm genre. I highly recommend Bolt Hole. "You were my best homework assignment ever." Any additional comments? SPOILERS... I am so happy with myself for giving this story a try. Talk about an interracial bromance Colby Terrell I loved that Colby was the younger man but seemed to have more experience sexually, more comfortable in his own skin, and seemed a bit more wiser than Terrell because it made Terrell somewhat endearing. "Kids get blowjobs behind bars T. Men look their lovers in the eye." I won't lie, Terrell did bother me a bit with his woe-as-me attitude but the fact that he took the time to understand and reflect on both sides of the issue of racism made me appreciate at him and his line of thinking. Colby is AMAZING! I loved everything about him. His patience, his heart, his love for Terrell. He's the type of guy that's one in a million! "Let's go have our self a domestic partnership day." Colby, Colby, Colby Special moments: **The first time Terrell and Colby made love **Colby playing Motown music for Terrell There are many more special moments but those two were the ones that really squeezed my heart. This is a journey through a love story between two men who are different in almost every way. Add in a crime mystery, humor, likeable and unlikeable supporting characters, with a fantastic narration, you have a making for a superb story. "What did the ghost say to the Vampire.

The Affair of the Porcelain Dog Audiobook by Jess Faraday

Title: The Affair of the Porcelain Dog Author: Jess Faraday Narrator: Philip Battley Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: London, 1889. For Ira Adler, former rent-boy and present plaything of crime lord Cain Goddard, stealing back the statue from Goddard's blackmailer should have been a doddle. But inside the statue is evidence that could put Goddard away for a long time under the sodomy laws, and everyone's after it, including Ira's bitter ex, Dr. Timothy Lazarus. No sooner does Ira have the porcelain dog in his hot little hands, than he loses it to a nimble-fingered prostitute. As Iras search for the dog drags him back to the mean East End streets where he grew up, he discovers secrets about his own past, and about Goddard's present business dealings, which make him question everything he thought he knew. An old friend turns up dead, and an old enemy proves himself a friend. Goddard is pressing Ira for a commitment, but every new discovery casts doubt on whether Ira can, in good conscience, remain with him.In the end, Ira must choose between his hard-won life of luxury and standing against a grievous wrong. Members Reviews: Brilliant book, Phenomenal audio experience! I'm a lover of audiobooks. Even if I were able to physically read on the bus - I can't, it makes me feel ill - there's still something so incredibly wonderful about the spoken word, and the experience of listening to a great story being told. Usually, I do this to make the time pass by on the long trek to and from work, or when I'm doing something tedious like the laundry or dishes. For "The Affair of the Porcelain Dog" I was instead scurrying around, trying to find any excuse to be able to keep listening, and even wearing my ear-buds while I did routine stuff all the way to the moment I had to open the doors for the day. I listened on my break. I listened on my lunch. I listened in the bath. I even got up early on the day of my closing shift so I'd have the two full hours of time I needed to finish the book before my work shift started. In short? Jess Faraday's "The Affair of the Porcelain Dog" was the best audiobook experience I've had in years. There are a few sides to that experience. One, the writing was so completely engaging that I was happily drawn into the narrative from step one. The setting - a Holmes-era tale in London at it's most coal-caked and financially stratified, "The Affair of the Porcelain Dog" is also Holmes-esque in its execution, pulling you into a mystery from the opening that is as steeped in the time and place and culture as it is in the richly drawn characters. The main voice, Ira Adler, is such a charming character even when he's being selfish or spoiled that I was smitten instantly. An orphan and former rent-boy, Ira is living in luxury now at the beck and call - and bed - of Cain Goddard, who despite his genteel appearance is in fact a crime lord making most of his living off the legal opium trade. Ira, no slouch in the street arts of lock picking, pick pocketing, and capable of thieving with the best of them, is tasked by Goddard to recover the titular piece of artwork, which is both ugly and apparently contains a secret that could ruin Goddard, and bring Ira's comfortable new life to an end. Of course, in a mystery as tightly drawn as this one, there are far more players than that - including the wonderfully written Timothy Lazarus, a giving clinic doctor who is after the same object d'art for his own friend - and Goddard's rival.

Heart in Hand Audiobook by Mary Calmes

His job - hunting demons - is dangerous and important, and Simon doesnt want to distract the man he loves more than life with the small stuff. But he doesnt quite get that when a Warder takes a Hearth, the Warder gives his heart without reservation. When Leith claimed Simon, Leith bared his soul, leaving himself vulnerable before the only man hes certain hell ever love. When Simon is sucked further into Leiths perilous world - and into an alternate dimension - Simon realizes that the only strength he can give his Warder is the strength of his love. Can Simon sacrifice the control he has come to treasure for the man who already owns his soul? Members Reviews: Might have been a good story What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Another narrator certainly, and perhaps better production?? Granted this is a short story, but the same care should be taken as in a longer story. Would you be willing to try another book from Mary Calmes? Why or why not? I have all of Mary Calmes books and really enjoy the stories and like her writing. However as you might know, the narrator makes it or breaks it....in this case....oh dear. Not only broke it but all the wheels fell off. I will not be buying any more books with this narrator. Very disappointing. What didnt you like about Andrew Schwartzs performance? Sorry, he needs WAYYYYYYY more practice. Reading (way) too fast, mumbling, slurring, mispronunciation, and very poor enunciation. Also maybe be some editing production problems, because it would fade out so low you couldn't hear what was said, then come back on (after you turned it up) and blast it out, making ears practically bleed, and then you have to turn it back down. Any additional comments? This one and His Hearth both read in the above manner. Action Packed This addition to the Warder series is intense. It delves the characters into a demon dimension.... I really enjoyed this story and the performance....I was hooked from the start. Love concurs all! Actually book 3 in the series Leith & Simon's story. They will suffer thru hell for each other. A great series Story great and better narration than I expected. Simon and Leith are a Harth and Warder. They knew from the start that they were meant to be, but neither has really trusted the relationship. Leith resents the time away from him when Simon has to work and Simon has a hard time leaning on Leith like hed want. Simon goes on another work trip, but this time things go horribly wrong. Hes sucked into a demons dimension and forced to help his co-workers try to survive while being attacked by one of the demons solidiers. Fortunately, at their core, his friends and lover are good people and Simon is able to use that to save the day. ** This was a really interesting story. In addition to being hot and sexy at times, it also had a bit of a psychological/ thriller component. This is a bit scary at times! Simon is snarky and sweet at the same time. His friends and lover are willing to follow him (literally) through hell, but he doesnt see his own value. Warders are super heroes but they have flaws and Leiths is insecurity despite everything to the contrary. Having Simon literally see him and love him at his worst was the perfect way to cement in his mind that Simon really and truly loved him. I love this series and have read it over and over.

His abusive stepfather calls him a fag; his friend Austin makes him realize he may be gay, but Todd doesn't want to admit his stepfather is right; and he dreams of being a chef. Three good reasons to flee his hometown and pursue greener pastures. But when Todd reaches the big city, his luck runs dry. Soon he can't pay his rent and gets evicted. In the middle of a snowstorm. Gabe Richards is a wealthy businessman with enough wounds of his own to make him afraid of ever being intimate again. But when he sees Todd outside his building, freezing to death, he takes pity on him and takes him in from the cold. To their mutual surprise, Todd and Gabe find themselves drawn to each other. "One night" turns into a week. Maybe letting a man in from the cold can melt the ice around Gabe's heart - and maybe getting evicted will turn Todd's luck around. Members Reviews: Sweet and fluffy This was a really sweet and fluffy read. Charlie David is one of my top ten narrators and he delivers again in this one. This is an insta love with a strong "pay it forward" theme. Pretty predictable, but still a nice listen. The only negatives are personal pet peeves of a lot of inner monologueing and characters "thinking" something and then saying "did I say that out loud?" Honestly, do people really do that? There is also an overuse of the fa**ot word IMHO. Worth a credit. Sweet but too compressed I was hooked from the first word spoken by Todd Burton. Charlie David's characterization was the reincarnation of Topher Manning from Brad Boney's "The Return", and that naive but smartass attitude and tone is something I could listen to all day. But then Charlie David could read the Bible to me, and I'd think it was sexy. The story is sweet, though in audio a bit confusing when Todd channels his step-father's voice or when he is unaware he's said something out loud. What tampered my enthusiasm was (something of a spoiler ahead) was that in less than one week, Todd goes from "I'm absolutely straight, though maybe a bit bi-curious, broke, jobless, lonely, and homeless" to the completely opposite extreme. And that Gabe, given his past experiences, rolls along with it. Strangers one day to "I love you" two days later? That's the part that really kept me from empathizing with and identifying with the characters. Also a little disappointed that Austin didn't appear in this one, since Todd pops up in Austin's book. Would have liked to have heard Gabe's reaction. All said though, I'll probably replay it in the near future, if for nothing more than to listen to Todd's confrontation with his step-father and mother. Thoroughly entertaining thanks to Charlie David! Any additional comments? 3.75 stars out of 5 NOTE: The rating is entirely due to Charlie Davids performance. Once again, Charlie David delivers an entertaining production that cuts some of the too-saccharine sweetness from the story, leaving only enjoyment in its wake. This is one of those times when the story itself doesnt resonate deeply but I like the narration so much it elevates the final rating much higher than it would be as if I had simply read the story. This is an insta-love heavy-dose romance (they know each other a week before the I-Love-Yous are exchanged) Cinderfella story.

Jones Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-11 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 174 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Zach Mitchell is stuck in a rut. His college boyfriend left him 10 years ago, but Zach still lives in the same apartment, drives the same car, and feeds his ex-boyfriends ungrateful cat. His Denver business, A to Z Video Rental, is struggling. He has annoying customers, eccentric neighbors, and an unfulfilling romance with his landlord, Tom. A combat boot-wearing punk with an attitude, Angelo Green was raised in foster homes and has been on his own since he was sixteen; he has never learned to trust or to love. He doesnt do relationships, so when Angelo takes a job at A to Z Video, he decides Zach is strictly off-limits. Despite their differences, Zach and Angelo quickly become friends, and when Zachs break-up with Tom puts his business on the line, its Angelo who comes up with a solution. Together with Jared and Matt, their friends from Coda, Colorado, Zach and Angelo will find a way to save A to Z, but will they be able to save each other too? (Listen to Jared and Matt's story in Promises.) Members Reviews: A good love story with plenty of steaminess!!! The characters seemed 3-dimensional, full of life and emotion. Love can be complicated, blind and all of the above. I thought the author portrayed the characters well. They were both frustrating and exciting. Definitely worth the listen but beware that the narrator is terrible and takes some getting used to. Great story, horrible narration What did you love best about A to Z? I LOVED this story. Sexton is one of my favorite authors in this genre. She gives us beautifully written love stories between 2 men with all the angst that goes with it and not more than is needed. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mark L. Jones? Anyone... No seriously, he sounded BORED reading. Paul Morey, Sean Crisden, or Sawyer Allerde would have done SOOO much better. Issues to Work Through Zach is just maybe ready for some changes in his life but he's pretty much just been going with the flow for life. But suddenly everything seems to be changing. Angelo has been hanging around the store and trying to get Zach's attention but he seem a bit too late but they still end up friends and then co-workers. Eventually, things get more involved but both of them seem to have the need to process all the changes in their lives. They also seem to have stuff that they need to work through if they are going to be able to make it for the long hall. Don't bother - unbearable narration I could only stand it for about 15 minutes, so I can't really judge the story. Returning this one, way too expensive even though it was half price. Love Where does A to Z rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I loved it. I've never really listed to a book that I was disappointed in, though. I only buy audiobooks that I've already read in paperback or eBook so I go in knowing I like the story. I've also learned to appreciate different narrators quirks and style. This one took a little getting used to, but he seems to fit the series. What was one of the most memorable moments of A to Z? I love all of Zach's odd neighbors at the shop and every single thing about Angelo. I want to cuddle him up in a blanket and keep him safe forever, which would make him run away from me in horror, of course. What does Mark L.

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The last thing Cole expects to get for the holidays is dumped. But there he is, in the airport on his way to Banff for a romantic getaway, helplessly watching as his boyfriend's ex declares undying love, proposes - and is accepted. With a few weeks to go until Christmas, Cole's mood dives from jolly to jaded. But instead of sitting at home alone and feeling sorry for himself, he goes to his favorite bar, McGregor's, for a pint and some company. The moment Owen McGregor sets eyes on Cole, he knows there's something wrong. So he takes it upon himself to ensure that Cole has a happy holiday: 12 outings for the 12 days before Christmas. Even if he can't quite think up 12 activities that don't involve getting the forlorn hunk into his bed. With each outing they take together, Cole realizes that the love he thought he'd shared with his ex was less than perfect. And that Owen might prove to be more than just his rebound remedy. Members Reviews: Sometimes bouncing back is just what you need. Would you listen to Rebound Remedy again? Why? Oh yes, multiple times, such a great story and add to that great narration and it's a book I'll be ready to listen to again, soon. What was one of the most memorable moments of Rebound Remedy? The beer tasting and what took place just after. What does Nick J. Russo bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brought the characters to life with the perfect voices. If you could take any character from Rebound Remedy out to dinner, who would it be and why? Can't I take them both???? Any additional comments? I really love it when a book I've read and enjoyed comes out in audio and is even better. It helps when it's a well written story and a well versed narrator. Russo took these characters as written and made them three dimensional, gave them a life above and beyond the Cole and Owen that I fell in love with on paper. Perfect tones and inflections, subtle nuances that he could create with voice that were lost in the written version of the story. Tams e-book review December 2015 When Cole is left standing at the airport, holding the bag, watching his boyfriend be whisked off into the sunset by another man... well he's about done with Christmas. Stumbling into a local bar, getting punched and catching the eye of the sex on wheels bartender was just a happy circumstance. When Owen, said bartender, offers Cole an option to either of them spending their Holiday's alone, Cole refuses at first. There is something so open, honest and alluring about the bartender with his scruffy beard and bedroom eyes that has caught Cole's attention though, and he is intrigued. But when Christmas comes, the distraction goes, and Cole will lose another man, or will he? If you are looking for a Holiday story without all the eggnog, parties and fluffy happy ever after, then this just might be the book for you. Cole and Owen are anything but traditional. While they are both family men, they are both perfectly flawed, and therefore utterly irresistible. It was refreshing to read a story where both male leads struggled with their circumstance. There was just a little bit of angst and indecision, but it fit perfectly with the storyline and the characters.

Members Reviews: Another happy ending Thank you Andrew Grey you NEVER disappoint! Loved the entire story from beginning to end. Felt the hurt when he was not believed by the priest, lost his best friend, found the love he always wanted, then the closure desperately needed. Great ending! Thank you for using Sean Crisden he's amazing! A Sweet Boy's School Romance This book made me smile. The reader is wonderful and the story had real depth to it. It wasn't just about sex. I've noticed that a lot of the gay/lesbian genre available on audible presents stories more focused on sex or scandal. I was thrilled because this is a sweet story about the characters and about love. Grey presents wholesome relatable characters that you will grow to love. The story isn't perfect, but it's fun to listen to and closer to what I'd imagine a male/male relationship is really like. It feels real to me. I suggested the book to a dear friend of mine who is a gay male and he enjoyed the story as well and agreed it felt real unlike most in the genre. Grey writes some of the best gay romance on audible. I highly recommend him. OK story. Narrator needs to execute punctuation. Is there anything you would change about this book? I would have read it instead of listening to it. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Kind of jumps over time but that could have been the way it was narrated. See next item. How did the narrator detract from the book? He ran on without regard to commas, periods, exclamation points, or obvious changes in time. From one scene to another there is a ten year jump but because the narrator ran it like a stop sign, it was not evident at first. Sometimes, it was difficult to tell which character was What would have made this romance irresistible? I'm not sure. I like other Andrew Grey novels and they all seem to have similar themes but this one just didn't grab me. Great Story below average narration Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I would recommend this book but probable not the audio book version. What didnt you like about Brian Millss performance? Brian Mill's voice was very mellow-tone and did not get into the story as other narrators have done. This made it challenging to get in to the story. Brian's Accent made this story hard to place as a British man read a story that was to take place in and around Milwaukee. i really enjoyed this book loved it, it gives me hope for the future very close to home for me

Title: Lessons in Love Subtitle: A Cambridge Fellows Mysteries, Book 1 Author: Charlie Cochrane Narrator: Phil Mayes Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-16 Publisher: Charlie Cochrane Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: He didn't think he had a heart. Until he lost it. St. Bride's College, Cambridge, England, 1905. Jonty Stewart is handsome and outgoing, with blood as blue as his eyes. When he takes up a teaching post at the college where he studied, his dynamic style acts as an agent for change within the archaic institution. He also has a catalytic effect on Orlando Coppersmith. Orlando is a brilliant, introverted mathematician with very little experience of life outside the university walls. He strikes up an alliance with Jonty and soon finds himself heart-deep in feelings he's never experienced. Before long their friendship blossoms into more than either man had hoped. Then a student is murdered within St. Bride's. Then another...and another. All the victims have one thing in common: a penchant for men. Asked by the police to serve as their eyes and ears within the college, Jonty and Orlando risk exposing a love affair that could make them the killer's next target. Members Reviews: Ruined by narrator Sweet story ruined by the narrator. Jonty and Orlando are in their late 20's, not last 70's. I thought I could get used to the slow, old voice, but couldn't do it. Liked it Where does Lessons in Love rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Not sure What aspect of Phil Mayess performance would you have changed? Nothing really it was good Who was the most memorable character of Lessons in Love and why? They all had things I liked about them Any additional comments? I wasn't the biggest fan of this book, but the plot is good, and the voiceover was smooth. I would read it again, and I'm happy I gave it a chance. I was given this free copy, in return for my unbiased review Excellent Mystery! Would Reccommend. What did you love best about Lessons in Love? What I loved most about this story was the relationship between Jonty and Orlando. They are so sweet together. I also loved the fact that I did not know who the murderer was until just before the end. Finally I have loved this series for years and am so glad the first book and hopefully not last is in audio format. I love Orlando and Jonny. unreadable/too dull to listen to I was voluntarily provided this free audiobook to review from the publisher, author or Narrator

After Ben Audiobook by Con Riley

Title: After Ben Subtitle: Seattle Stories, Book 1 Author: Con Riley Narrator: JP Handler Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-13 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 111 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A year after the sudden death of his longtime partner, Ben, Theo Anderson is still grieving. The last thing he's looking for is a new lover. But as Theo soon discovers, sometimes life has other plans. While Theo experiences a powerful physical attraction to fellow gym member Peter, it's his new online friend, Morgan, who provides the intellectual challenge to make him come alive. Morgan is witty, brave, and irreverent, and Theo is ready to take the plungeuntil he discovers Morgan might be half his age. Theo's late partner was significantly older - enough to strain Theo's relationship with his family - and the potential of another relationship being cut short leaves him gun shy. Theo needs to lay Ben's memory to rest, reconcile with his family, and rekindle neglected friendships if he's to start afresh with a new lover. But Theo isn't the only one with a past. His biggest challenge, in living after Ben, might not be his to face. Members Reviews: Beautiful prose and characters with depth Would you listen to After Ben again? Why? No, I couldn't journey with Theo in his memories of Ben again. Too painful. What was one of the most memorable moments of After Ben? The online banter between Theo and Morgan after they started communicating away from the forum. Some of it was hysterical. What about JP Handlers performance did you like? The genuine emotion he brought to the story. He got choked up more than once, which of course brought me to tears repeatedly. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. I listen to audio books while in my car, at work, and while riding my bike. Any additional comments? My review: Theo recalls in heart-wrenching detail his life with partner Ben over 15 years. It's been a year since Ben's death and he still struggles with everyday life...until he meets Peter and Morgan. Peter works out at the same gym, and Morgan is a constant online presence on the debate forums in which Theo participates. Both urge Theo on, to live in the present, to see a future full of hope and love without his Ben. But only one eventually captures Theo's heart. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Even the narrator was choked up at times. I found both the characters and the storyline believable and completely engaging. I loved Con Riley's lovely prose, the sheer depth of her characters, and her ability to make readers feel almost like voyeurs. It's my first book by this author and certainly will not be my last. Highly recommended. Engrossing, Heart-pleasing, A++ Unusually satisfying, well-written and superbly narrated piece. The narrators Italian accent and interpretations are wonderful. The characters seem alive, like they all live next door to you. The story does start out slow, so give it some time, but when the interns arrive, lookout, the thing just launches into the sky and never comes down! Loved this one...its a series!? where's the rest?? What made the experience of listening to After Ben the most enjoyable? good narrator..

The Servant Audiobook by Mary Calmes

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/609/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Servant Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: After saving his younger brother's child, Daemon Shar is cursed by a witch and runs far from home, a stray who will seemingly never be anything more. But destiny is hard to outrun, even for a man who is now more cat than man beneath his robes and cowl. A chance battlefield meeting between him and Ehron, a foreign lord, gives him purpose amid the darkness of his accursed life. Soon Daemon finds that his true nature cannot be corrupted no matter the form he inhabits. As Ehron's consul, Daemon plots and plans to shape his new lord's future so that he may leave it blessed when he runs away yet again. But he never counted on his soul hungering for Ehron's brother, Gareth, or for his past to catch him by the tail at last. Members Reviews: It was hard for me to follow along... Any additional comments? I was lost, confused, and befuddled for most of the story. There are a lot of characters, and they all have difficult names, and the places are all fantasy-named and it was all really confusing for me. Listening to this was my first time with the story and I just found it difficult to follow along with everything that was happening. Puss In Boots has a hot new plot! What did you love best about The Servant? As I recall reading this book from 2011, it was part of a collection of stories where authors rewrote a classic fairytale and made the MCs both men. A fun collection to read for sure! The Servant seemed loosely based upon The Master Cataa, or Puss in Boots. Daemon hides his secret away after being cursed by a witch, sacrificing family and brotherhood to live out his life in the shadows, serving the best causes he can find. So he makes it his life goal to do whatever needs be done to promote the wellness and advancement of Ehron. Much like the prince who was shoved in the river with no clothes to gather the attention of passing nobility in Puss In Boots, Daemon does many fantastical things to ensure Ehron gets noticed by important people too. There is plenty of adventure, fantasy, and action in this book, and the plot diverges enough from the old fairytale to become an original. I enjoyed the romance, the humor and the nail-biting tension in this story. I also enjoyed the steamy connection between Gareth and Daemon, that would have changed this childhood favorite for sure! The only downside, which did slow things down for me, was the extensive list of proper nouns. The plot could have been much smoother if some locations, country names, unnecessary character names, could have been generalized. There were too many to keep track of. I think a quarter of this book was spent introducing names, ranks, and country names of characters and places that really did not hold a significant role in the plot. But that is my only complaint, so if you can speed read/listen past those stagnant introductions and just pay attention to the main characters, youre going to love this. True fantasy romance! Swash buckling, superhuman feats, and bonds of love that stand the test of time and turmoil! What more can I ask for? Oh yes, I can ask for an amazing narrator! Did I mention Greg Tremblay is a rock star? He gives wonderful variations to each character and breathes much passion into the dialogue.

The preacher's son and the lord who's rejected his former life in England feel the heat of attraction from the moment they meet. Open-hearted Jonah is willing to risk hellfire and damnation for brief moments of pleasure with Rafe, but the older man is frozen in a past he can't escape, no matter how far he runs. As Rafe struggles to choose between responsibilities of his present and his past, mysterious accidents assail the close-knit carnival community. Will the perpetrator be revealed before the traveling show is ruined? And will Rafe finally reveal his true self to Jonah or continue to mask his identity like the changing images in a house of mirrors? Members Reviews: Pretty good Better than average historical MM romance. Some of the language was anachronistic but otherwise it was pretty well done. Not too many sex scenes, which often become boring and repetitive, and thankfully the era prevented the tedious trope of the inevitable wedding at the end! Loved this! When I read the blurb for this book I was immediately interested. I love romance books, carnival books, and books that have a little added mystery to them. This book had it all. Tie in that it's M/M and I couldn't have asked for a better listen. The relationship between Jonah and Rafe was sweet and hot and i was routing for them the entire time. I also loved all of the secondary characters. I was drawn in pretty fast and the writing kept me there. This was the first time I have listened to the narrator and the first time I've read these authors and was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'd definitely listen to this narrator again as well as the authors. Wonderful love story! This is a wonderful story of finding love, friendship, and acceptance in a traveling carnival in the early 1900's. Jonah is a small town preacher's son, and he has been kicked out of his home and beaten for the "perversion" of being attracted to another man. Rafe is the owner and leader of the carnival where Jonah takes refuge, and he has his own secret past and reasons for trying to escape. The two men are instantly attracted, and they quickly begin changing each other's lives for the better. I found this story thoroughly entrancing. Jonah, Rafe, and the other carnival workers, are all brialliantly brought to life, through both the authors' words and the fantastic narration. There were moments that brought me to tears, and there were times I smiled happily. I enjoyed this world and the people who inhabited it. Jonah and Rafe stole a piece of my heart. I was provided a copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Blind Space Audiobook by Marie Sexton

Title: Blind Space Author: Marie Sexton Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-15 Publisher: Marie Sexton Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Captain Tristan Kelley enjoys the luxuries of Regency service, as well as the pleasure of his prince's bed. It's an easy life, if not a happy one. When the prince decides to take a trip through the perilous Blind Space, Tristan must go with him, but somebody in the prince's guard is a traitor. Blind and held prisoner, Tristan finds himself at the mercy of Valero, a pirate who bears no love for the Regency. Valero is determined to seduce Tristan, and Tristan fears his resolve won't last. His duty is clear, but so is his desire. As the days tick by with no word or ransom from the Regency, Tristan begins to question what loyalty means to his prince, the Regency he's sworn to, and to the man who holds him captive. He begins to realize that being a prisoner may actually set him free. Members Reviews: Intriguing story Marie Sexton writes a wide variety of genres within MM and is great at all of them. This story is somewhat sci-fi though it focuses more on romance than outer space action. Tristan and Valero are a great couple and their interactions were wonderful. The sex scenes are incredible. Hot and erotic. I loved the ending. Fantastic! I was a little nervous when I heard that Blind Space had been made into an audio book because I really like this book and re-read it regularly. My nerves were totally unnecessary, as the narrator did an amazing job. FALSE ADVERTISING: Transvestite Sex Crap I like gay men in fact I like them so much I am one. This story is about a transvestite with a womanly desire for lacy panties and silk female undies. If travestititism is your thing or if you are one then cool. That's your thing and I respect it and am glad to have the "t" in lgbt. However it is NOT my thing. The blurb for this book does not mention that the hero of this story is into transvestitism. If it did I would never have purchased this book because silk lacy panties is a TURN OFF for me. Shame on you Marie Sexton. I bought the audio book because I trusted you as a writer. I will never trust you again.

For once in his life, Ori finds himself happy, and in that happiness, he finds he might just trust this mysterious stranger. And Ori has a tendency to follow his instincts. For better or for worse. Members Reviews: Skip 1; This is Book 1 Improved ! This isn't actually a second book in the series. It is a rewrite of the hot mess that is "Werebear: Trace: Hunted MM Bears, Book 1". The Only reason I even gave this a chance is because the new narrator, Craig Beck, did such an EXCELLENT job w/ Indra Vaughn's M/M romance "Patchwork Paradise". The basic story is still the same, but it has been expanded and most of the plot holes mended. There are still some issues w/ mating heat/pregnancy, but the story flows now. The characters and their world are much better developed. The improved narration helps as well. This is a HUGE improvement over Werebear: Trace & a sweet little story now Omega Bear wild life I read Werebear Book 1, only to discover book 2 was the real story. This version was so full filling. It kept me listening till it ended. The details reaffirmed my belief in Noah Harris' great ability to spin an awesome story. My only concern was Beck's accent. The way he would say the word "Omega" was distracting to me. All in all great story. Feel good quick read. characters needed more development but it was enough to be an enjoyable quick read. it's one of my go to's when I just want a feel good slightly humorous quick read. Wonderful read Awesome book, looks like I have found another great author. I loved the omega he was so feisty. I had a hard time putting the book down. Can't wait to read more of this author's works. slave whore beta bears An alpha-phobic werebear escapes from slavery and meets the first kind and gentlemenly alpha werebear ever in this shifter story written with a happy nod to fairytales.

He's stunned when the owner, Maggie, who's a close friend, bequeaths him the post office and the Station House. The rest of her estate is left to an American writer, Jason Young, and when he moves to the village, Robbie is thrown by the attraction he has for the man who has more of a claim on the Station House than he does. Then, there's a box that holds several rare first editions and a cookbook. Only when the secrets of the ingredients in a particular recipe are finally revealed does everything begin to make sense, and a love cut short 70 years earlier is finally discovered. Members Reviews: English Love Story with Historical Element Any additional comments? Tails of the Curious Cookbook is the series name for an anthology of five short stories by five great writers. The writers, R.J. Scott, Amy Lane, Marie Sexton, Amber Kell, and Mary Calmes have written vastly different M/M romance stories with the unifying theme of a curious cookbook entitled Recipes for the Heart subtitled Mystical Meals and Dangerous Desserts hand written by the anonymous Granny B. The stories come in either a Kindle e-book or audible format. The cookbook is depicted as very old, tattered, faded, leather bound, and rich with notations from its users adding clarifying notations and reactions to the varies magical recipes. The recipes when prepared and served is intended to aid in sorting out some confusing romance aspect of the stories or make one feel better after a broken heart. These books will appeal to those with a romantic soul and believe in the magic of comfort food served with a side of the power of suggestion of magic. I have written five separate reviews for each of the five stories. Please refer to the list below when looking up the appropriate review: 1. For a Rainy Afternoon by R.J. Scott 2. Food for Thought by Amy Lane 3. Lost Along the Way by Marie Sexton 4. Cookies for Courting by Amber Kell 5. Just Desserts by Mary Calmes For a Rainy Afternoon: Tails of the Curious Cookbook by R.J. Scott narrated by Ian Gordon. This tale is set in a small English country village named Barton Hartshourn. It has a nostalgic element of two brothers who meet two English sisters and fall in love during World War II. Sadly one brother is killed in a bombing raid over Germany and the other sister marries her yank and returns to America. The remaining English sister, Maggie, becomes an author and resides in Apple Cottage. Years later Maggie befriends Robbie MacIntyre, a recent un-rooted University graduate, and sets him up in a small tea shop, library, and post office business in an old Station House. Upon her death she wills the Station House to Robbie and Apple Cottage to her American grandnephew Jason Young (also a budding author). Through the device of the magical cookbook Maggie match makes romance beyond the grave between the two main characters. This is an utterly charming story well narrated by Mr. Gordon. Feel Good Story! Any additional comments? This story will have your heart smiling and feeling in love. No angst, no drama, just a feel good story for a rainy. B rating... My Quickie Review: Overall: 3.5 Performance: 3.25 Story: 3.5 This was a quick, quirky little story. Robbie lives in a tiny little English village where he runs the local post office.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Veteran police chief Eli Gallagher doesn't ask for much, but he does insist that his officers uphold the "serve" part of "serve and protect". Conscientious young Deputy Stan Leach takes Eli's moto to heart, maintaining a high standard of personal accountability. When Eli's long-distance boyfriend, Gilbert Nees, telephones from Philadelphia, Eli thinks he intends to further cement their relationship. Unfortunately, Gilbert's news is anything but good. But Eli doesn't have time to wallow, because a violent act results in murder in the small town of Morristown, Mississippi. But as Eli and Stan uncover evidence, their personal lives begin to unravel. Stan, working closely with Chief Gallagher, grows increasingly attached to Eli and learns what it really means to be an advocate of justice. Members Reviews: I'm so confused. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A better storyline and a more coherent narration. What could J.S. Cook have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Maybe actually reading this book might have been better. I was very confused, more than once, who's pov I was in. The majority of the book, which is a novella already, the two MC's were with other people. When they did finally get together I wasn't even sure why and then the book was over. Would you be willing to try another one of K.C. Kellys performances? The backdrop of the book was Mississippi and I've lived in Mississippi, they do NOT sound like whatever dialogue Kelly was using that sounded more like an audition to read the credits for the movie Deliverance! What character would you cut from The Winter Dark? All of them? Any additional comments? Yeah, sorry, I tried I promise. I listened to the entire book thinking "Okay, next chapter they'll get together and the story will iron itself out." Nope. I don't like having to hunt down my characters and that's how I felt this story was conveyed. i was left underwhelmed by this one. This is the story of police chief Eli Gallagher and his deputy Stan Leach. As a violent crime rocks their little town their personal lives are unraveling. This story was super short, too short to wrap up all the plot points that would make it a complete story. At the beginning of the story the author spent a lot of time developing the relationships of Gallagher and Leach with other men. This was more than half of the story, and at this point I assumed there wouldn't be a relationship between the main characters. Both of those relationships ended abruptly and we moved into the mystery part of the story. The mystery ended up not being so mysterious because we knew who the culprit was from the get go, but because of the stress of it Eli and Stan hop in bed together. Next thing you know the book is ending and the epilogue has the couple making serious relationship steps without any relationship growth throughout the book. For me, the plot was really choppy and didn't flow well. With some polishing and added detail it could make a good full length novel, but it definitely needs more detail about the budding relationship between the main characters. I grew up in Mississippi and I was hoping the narrator would have an authentic Mississippi accent. I was hoping it would take me back in time and add another dimension to the story, but speaking slowly isn't a substitute for an accent. K.C.

To complicate matters, Eric finds it more and more difficult to hide his attraction to his best friend. When the opportunity arises, he needs to decide whether to risk their friendship to pursue his feelings, but maybe Jimmy will see there's more for him now than ever before in his hometown. Members Reviews: Internalized homophobia masquerading as fiction This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? For a supposed gay novel this is amazing condescending to the effeminate male character. The narrator used a ridicules country accent that was not believable and when he did the voice of the effeminate partner it was unbearably patronizing. Do not buy this book, you will not be able to get past the first chapter! Holy horrible accent Batman. Not sure if the reader has ever been to the South, their accent is awful. Also the dialogue written was clearly not written by a southerner. If you don't mind those things, then go for it. Story seems good...but the Narrator is horrendous! What did you like best about My Hometown? What did you like least? I didn't get to finish the audio book. It seemed like a decent story but I couldn't get past the narrator's horrible attempt at a cowboy drawl. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I can't really tell you How could the performance have been better? A completely different Narrator. Was My Hometown worth the listening time? I feel bad because I couldn't get into it enough to give a thorough review. Hometown Boys What did you love best about My Hometown? The story was a good GFY love story about two best friends, Jimmy and Eric reconnecting after Jimmy took off to Chicago for college to become a doctor, while Eric stayed close to home. After the years apart, Jimmy moves back home for his residency, bringing his flamboyant boyfriend Oliver. Having to work through some changes between the two and overcoming a few misunderstandings, Jimmy and Eric find their back to being friends, even though it's obvious that they are meant for more. What did you like best about this story? I really liked Oliver's character, even though he was a little shit and not right for Jimmy. He definitely needs his own story and hopefully, a better fit for a narrator. What three words best describe Ronald Ray Stricklands voice? Not right for the story. While he had a southern drawl, it just didn't fit right for a character who spent 8 years in Chicago. The southern tone didn't sound like a Tennessee accent, where the story takes place. Additionally, all the characters sounded the same, even the Mom. Sweet GFY / country boy story This is a very sweet friends to lovers story with a little bit of city boy/country boy thrown in.

O'Shea Narrator: Tom Vilot Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 04-17-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Rock Bay: Book Two Drew McAuliffe has lived in the small town of Rock Bay most of his adult life. He'd like to be happy, but not at the cost of having his private life under his nosy neighbors' microscope, so he keeps his bisexuality under wraps. After a messy breakup that caused him to pack up and move to Astoria, on the Oregon coast, Mason Anderson decides to avoid drama of the romantic kind. All he wants is to start over - alone. But Drew and Mason were meant to meet. The long looks and awkward half hellos chance offered were never going to be enough. But when they do finally come together on the worst night possible, misconceptions and problems from their pasts get in the way. Until Mason learns to trust again-and until Drew learns to let go of who he thinks he is - a real connection is nothing but a pipe dream. Members Reviews: Like Visiting Old Friends You Love Like going home to visit old friends, Letting Go takes readers back to Rock Bay and re-acquaints us with the characters from book one. They are fun and sweet and full of personality, each bringing a uniqueness to the book. With the beginning of the book focused on the main character's past -Drew and Mason- it started quite slowly. If their background could've been integrated within the present-day story, the flow might've been smoother but regardless, there was so much to love about the characters. Drew and Mason's love story was sweet - their obstacles never too much for them to overcome. I enjoyed listening to the narrator bring life to the author's words, and am eager to read about more of the characters from Rock Bay. Not as good as book 1 I think this m/m romance has got the curse of 2nd book "filler" blues! It was a good book... the whiney characteristics of both male leads were just annoying... I would return it if I wasn't so anal about having a complete set in a series! Narration was fairly decent... Nice sale book... Save your credit for something a bit more fulfilling... Actually I would just buy this because it's pretty cheap... Under 10 bucks!

Ford Nixel has two law offices, two fancy condominiums, and all the right connections. In short, he has everything he wants. The last thing he needs is his Uncle Ty's stake in the Leaning N, a ranch that's been in the family for generations. Ford hasn't even been to the ranch in over a decade, not since he left his boyfriend Stoney behind and headed back to college alone. Ford arrives at the Leaning N to find Stoney, now a single father, right where he left him. A fist fight, a snowstorm, and a stolen kiss in the barn later - Ford knows none of the heat between them has dissipated. Members Reviews: Fun way to experience this western love story I think this book has just a few too many people and a few too many story threads to work really well. BA Tortuga excels at giving us real people with strong country backgrounds in rural setting. In this case, Colorado, on a ranch. Geoff, the chef (ha-ha) absolutely steals the show as the most interesting character in this story, but hes not one of the MCs, unfortunately. While I thought Ford got the shaft from his uncle and Stoney, he didnt much move me as a character. I also think Stoney needed to have done more to earn Fords forgiveness than what we saw. Im a fan of the authors unique, more stream-of-consciousness writing style, but this one seemed a bit all over the place. There were a few too many characters and side stories and the main romance sort of got lost in the shuffle. Im not a big fan of second chance romances but I like single-father stories and Quartz is a good kid. The cowboy part will definitely be attractive to some readers and, obviously, fans of the author will want to check this out. I like BAs The Release series better, but this wasnt a bad read, and it has a lovely epilogue which I adore. 3 of 5 stars Audio UGH! First crack out of the bag: its pronounced like the metal lead Leadville, not like the verb to guide (leedville). Sorry, but that bugs me. John Solos accent on the Spanish words arent great either. But, I like his female voices, though. In general, I like his Western accent. Hes got a lovely slow drawl for Stoney. Quartzs voice is okay. Its hard to do children and he makes a respectable attempt. Ford and the many other cowboys are all voiced well. I think Geoff is hysterical and I like the voice he chose for him. I think that this is a great way to experience this story, and to me, made it more fun. The authors dialog is her best feature and Johns narration showcases this. There are so many characters and John does a really nice job of differentiating them all. His voice is easy to listen to and he has a great sense of timing and emotion. 4.5 of 5 stars Overall 3.5 of 5 stars

Climbing into the Winnebago his father left him, they set out across America in search of the sites his father had captured through the lens of his Nikon. As an aspiring photographer, Justin can think of no better way to honor his father's memory than to scatter his ashes at the sites he held sacred, and there's no one Justin would rather share the experience with more than Landry. But Justin knows that he can't escape forever. Eventually, he'll have to return home and join his mother's Senate campaign. Nor can he escape the truth of who he is - and the fact that he's in love with his out-and-proud travel companion. Contains mature themes. Critic Reviews: "Equal parts sexy and sweet, Trust the Focus is full of heart." ( RT Book Reviews) Members Reviews: okay but I was not too keen on the mc Any additional comments? I sort of enjoyed this, but was also annoyed by a few things. Since its in the romance package Im going to give the series another chance, but I would probably not if I was to pay a credit for the next book. The mc annoyed me somewhat. I didnt really get his over the top explosions. I know there were some explanations, but perhaps he is just too different from me, I just did not get him at all. Im sorry to say that the narrations grated my nerves a bit too. It felt like the words were drawn out and pronounced too carefully. Not sure Im making sense. But in conclusion there were good parts and annoying parts. Tamer than I expected Sweet friends to lovers story. Well written but very tame- so if you are looking for more sweet than sexy you will like this audiobook. Narrator was okay. Good story Good story. Performances was easy to listen to. Like the idea of in the store. Would listen again. Perfect! This version of the book was just as perfect as the written one, the performance was incredible and it really helped me get into the story really fast. this is one of my favorite books and I'm so glad that I get to listen to it over and over again. Wonderful story, quality audio The story is wonderful. The quality of the narration, different voices, appropriate accents, and correct pronunciation, is great. But I don't love the sound of the narrator's voice, and I particularly don't love it for these characters. It's definitely worth listening to, but I never was able to engage completely like I am when the voice fits. Perhaps the voice fits perfectly for others however, and I hope that is so.

Growing up in a wealthy family, Silver had it all: money, fame, and any man he wanted, but that was never enough. Silver wants more. Greyson Black is a coffeehouse barista in one of the Silver Coffee chains in downtown Manhattan. Greyson is finishing school and determined to find the best path for his life. When Brian Silver makes a "surprise" stop at the franchise, he's more than intrigued by the young, gorgeous Greyson. Silver knows that there's only one thing that he must have now, and he will do whatever it takes to get him. When Silver and Greyson get together, sparks fly. Silver is perfect in Greyson's eyes, but is love blind? A mysterious stranger is out for Greyson, and the mind games have just begun. Greyson starts to question everything, including Silver's advances. When danger is lurking around every corner, no one is safe. Greyson will have to determine if love is worth the danger and excitement. Members Reviews: A fantastical tale... Though the premise of the story is a bit far fetched, I found myself getting pulled into the story and I found that I enjoyed it a lot. Rich guy pursues poor guy...only in the movies, right!?! But one can get lost in the fantasy of it all. Several things I seen coming and a few things caught me by surprise, which is probably why I really liked the story. There was little doubt that Greyson and Brian would not get together but the path is full of bumps and hiccups, adding to the journey. Not sure about the comparison to FSOG, never read it or seen the movie, but from what I understand there truly is no comparison...different types of books. All-n-all, a good fantastical story! Amazing in every way! The story is compelling, the Characters drew me in right away and the erotic scenes were just that! Silver and Black just melt my heart, they are sooo good together. My favorite part, hard to say the story just sucks you in and you can't stop listening. But probably the birthday weekend. The narrator is one of my favs by far, all the voices are easy to tell apart and Silver's voice gave me chills (in a great way). The only thing I didn't like about this book, was when it ended. I want more of Brian Silver & Grayson Black, because the are so sweet together. I want a sequel! I have listened to this book 3x already and I just can't put it down. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed! Undecided I am completely undecided about whether I enjoyed this book or not. Firstly, the premise of the book is that a rich guy financially supports another younger guy he never met without his knowledge and then by chance, meets him and becomes interested in pursuing a relationship with him. Now, this is really quite far fetched to begin with, however the way the rich guy pursues the younger guy and the way he 'woos' him come across as kind of creepy. The author tries to weave some kind of intrigue into the plot by having the main character stalked and setting the reader up to believe that 'something' just doesn't seem right with the rich guy, but to be honest, by the time all is revealed, I was shouting at the device playing the audiobook as I had had enough of the story being unnecessarily drawn out and prolonged.

Brooke Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: This is a sequel to Out of the Darkness. Jeff, Evan, and Dan have been living happily together for the past two years. They still have problems, especially between Evan and Dan, but they're mostly able to convert the interpersonal disagreements to sexual tension - and then resolve it - so nobody's complaining. Then Dan's long-lost sister shows up seven months pregnant and on the run from the law, and the situation goes from complicated to overwhelming. Jeff and Evan want to help, but with Evan fearful for his own sister's safety and Jeff struggling to keep his health issues under wraps, they're a little distracted. As Dan's sister struggles with her past, Evan's seems intent on gambling with her future. With emotions and family ties pulling them in different directions, the threesome have to hold together - or the people they love may tear them apart. Members Reviews: Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance What made the experience of listening to Of Dark and Bright the most enjoyable? This is less than half the length on audio than the previous book but still just as good. This chapter in the boys lives is a lot more melancholy than the first two books. I dont think anyone that reads this series can fail to fall in love with Jeff. As I have said before he is the glue that holds the three together and an integral part of the relationship. At the start of this book he is questioning whether he is of any use to Dan and Evan and whether they would be better off without him. His self doubt is a little bit heart breaking. When he also decides to keep his health worries to himself he is not in a very good place. Dan and Evan are just the same. One minute everything is fine and the next they are behaving like petulant 5 year olds and waiting for Jeff to sort them out. When Dans sister turns up after an absence of 15 years, 7 months pregnant, the sparks really fly. Evan is never slow to use his money to get what he wants and this situation proves no different. I have loved Evan throughout the three books but his behaviour in the barn when arguing with Dan left me wanting to smack him round the head, he was cruel and you begin to wonder whether the cracks are going to be too deep to fix this time. I cannot recommend this series enough. It is the very real life struggle of three men and a slightly unconventional relationship. It is not all sunshine and roses but when they get it to work it is fantastic. I felt the first time I read it that it would have been great to see another book, I felt it was left a little open ended, just my personal opinion. I became invested in Dan, Evan and Jeff and would love to see how life worked out for them. Narration Peter B Brooke did another excellent job. His strong point is still not the female voices but he can be forgiven that I think as he does the three main characters so perfectly. Love the series I'm in love with all the books in the Dark Horse series- even the short ones, which should also be in audio. This book is one of my top go to when I need something to ease the day, I've listened to ODAB so many times, I've lost count:) enjoy Book 3 of the Series Would you listen to Of Dark and Bright again? Why? I want MORE, what happen next ? What about Chris ? How is life now with a baby in their lives ? What did you like best about this story? Every thing What does Peter B.

Title: Half Moon Chambers Author: Harper Fox Narrator: Tim Gilbert Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A cop and a recovering addict - no chance for romance there. Yet Vince, a street-hardened narcotics officer, is having to reassess his life. Six months ago, he hit rock-bottom. A bullet brought him down, and his beloved partner Jack betrayed him. Badly disabled and in constant pain, Vince is flying a desk these days, and it doesn't suit him at all. His world is looking grim when he meets Rowan Clyde, sole surviving witness to a vicious drugs-related killing. Rowan doesn't want to talk. He's vulnerable, trying to hold his own life together in the wake of a crippling addiction. Vince should have no time for him, and Rowan certainly shouldn't trust a cop with an agenda to get him onto the witness stand at any cost. Yet despite their differences, there's an instant pull of attraction between these two damaged men. Their new bond is put to the ultimate test on the tough streets of Newcastle during a dark northern winter, as each turns out to hold the keys to the other's survival - and to his destruction. Members Reviews: Sublime in every way I spent and enthralling several hours caught up in Rowan and Vince's conflicted Newcastle world. This is one of my favorite books by Harper Fox. It's a lovely combination of sensuousness, grit, heartbreak, and determination - full of tense action, and much love. The audio performance by Tim Gilbert is nothing short of brilliant. Gripping, raw, and profoundly nuanced. Tim voiced both Vince and Rowan to perfection. I couldn't have given them better intonations in my head. He takes a gorgeously written story to new heights. It makes for an unforgettable experience -yet one I want to experience all over again. Beautiful story, fabulous performance!! My goodness what a treat! This book just hit all the sweet spots, law enforcement, hurt/comfort, wonderful writing and a hard fought HEA. Harper Fox is just a master writer. If you don't mind her use of the slang of Northern England, which can be a little hard to decipher for an American listener, her stories are magnificent. Tim Gilbert is a perfect narrator for this love story, and it is definitely a love story. The MCs are very complex and finding and loving each other is a struggle due to their own internal demons, as well as some external ones. Tackling something like addiction is always a tricky subject, but I think she does it beautifully and honestly. And again, Mr. Gilbert puts in a truly magnificent performance. Highly recommend! Just lovely! A wonderful blend of elegant words and eloquent narration. The story felt a bit like a snippet from the characters lives a but it was enough to build a good tale! loved it! perfect narration. even a few bit of tears towards the end. a beautiful story with a lovely ending.

Jacob's Ladder Audiobook by Z. A. Maxfield

Maxfield Narrator: Thomas Fawley Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jacob "Yasha"" Livingston is having a bad day. First there is the head cold. Then the orgy, the fight, and the hospital. Between that and the bus driver who ejects him - after accusing him of transmitting the Swine Flu - the rest of his day seems fairly vague. Now he's stuck in a small town called Santo Ignacio and he has a whole lot of thinking to do. One thing is, when fate speaks in the form of an EMT, maybe it's time to listen. One man in particular, EMT Jason "JT" Lents, with his shy smile and jade green eyes, seems more like an angel than a paramedic. But Jason has a date with a newer, prettier girl every night, despite the fact that he seems to return Yasha's interest. What will make JT happy? If JT is afraid of his feelings it might be Yasha's chance to heal the healer. For this couple to find their way, it's up to Jacob, his new friends, and the magic of St. Nacho's. Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some listeners may find objectionable: Male/male sexual practices. Members Reviews: Ms. Maxfield Has Done It To Me Again Ms Maxfield has done it to me again. She grabbed me by the heart and rocketed me through this book with a smile on my face and a song in my soul. I know I'm rhapsodizing here, but I can't help it. Not only is she a great writer, she is also a gentle, passionate and totally subversive one. Even when she occasionally adheres to standard M/M memes (there has to be a hospital, doesn't there?), she does it so uniquely and vividly that it all seems original and new. I found her books just 36 hours ago, and I've been binge-reading ever since. I just finished my third, and I can't wait for the next one. Although he's fit and recently served in the Israeli military, Jacob (Yasha) gets beaten to a pulp by his ostensible "lover" when Jacob catches him in the midst of an orgy in their bedroom. He was only able to do that because Jacob was weakened by a really bad case of flu. Typical abuser, Sander blames it on Jacob, the victim. Jacob is laid off because of his flu and then fired when the boss' lover takes over. So he heads out on a bus to stay, for a while, with his beloved (and very successful) brother, Dani, when the bus driver, hearing him cough, kicks him off the bus in the middle of nowhere - a little town near the California coast named "St. Nacho's" (short for San Ingnacio). And here's where Ms. Maxfield gets seriously subversive. Both Jacob, and the lovely boy EMT who rescues him when he fails to leave his room for three days, are Jewish. For those who may not know about it, there is a lovely word in Yiddish for "happiness", "pride in your children" and other good things called "Nachas" (or Naches, in some transliterations). Coincidence? I think not, since much of the rest of the story revolves around Jacob, Dani and their grandfather's (tzeyde's) family life, and their unbreakable bond of love and support. I won't go into much of the rest of the plot - it's yours to discover and savor. But this author is just brilliant at describing place and character through evocative metaphor.

Then, at a small drag show, he comes face-to-face with his sexual fantasy in the form of Trixie LaRue, a drag queen so exquisitely convincing she scrambles Jamal's hormones - and his resolve to nurse his straight side. Trixie LaRue, also known as Trevor Landry, hides more than his genitals. A mathematician so brilliant he can't be measured, Trevor disguises his astronomical IQ and his quirk for women's clothes behind his act as a gay activist undergrad at Southern California University. To Trevor, Jamal is the answer to a dream - a man who can love and accept both his personas. When he discovers Jamal's future is threatened if he's seen with a guy, Trevor becomes Trixie to let Jamal pass as straight. But Trevor risks his position every time he puts on a dress. Is there a closet big enough to hold a football pro and a drag queen? Members Reviews: Solid Performance Any additional comments? A story about a hot football star falling for a gorgeous cross-dressing genius? Oh, hell yeah. I. Am. Riveted. Add tons of humor and sexiness with the delightful narration of John-Paul Barrel...and you have one happy girl here. I really enjoyed John-Paul's narration. There were a couple of breathy points and some editing drops, but they go by quickly and don't make a great many appearances, certainly not enough to diminish the enjoyment of the story. Unfortunately my Big Pet Peeve "Miscommunication" makes an unwanted appearance. Thankfully, the miscommunication is corrected in a timely manner and was handled well enough my head didn't explode. Other that that there weren't any over-the-top unnecessary drama moments, which I was grateful for, because the narration really is all the entertainment you need. John-Paul Barrel made me laugh, get a little teary-eyed, and gave enough heat to the sexy times to have me glancing around to see if anyone was looking at me...you know what I mean? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* And can I just take one more moment to drool some more over that FANTASTIC cover by Cover Artist Anna Sikorska? Bottom line: I was thoroughly entertained with only minor bumps in my happiness highway. Recommended! Some highs and lows So much to say about this one! I have to just start spewing things out before I forget! I want to talk about the narration of the audiobook first because I think that that was key to my overall feeling/rating for the book. This was a very difficult book to narrate, both because of the range of voices required and how much they needed to differ in tone. John-Paul Barrel did a very nice job differentiating between voices. In fact, I was really impressed how he managed to go from the super deep voice of six foot seven inch, 300 pound Jamal Jones to the higher register of Trixie LaRue. This narrator tried soooo hard to get it right! I want to really applaud him on his effort. However, though his range of voices was really good, I didn't really like his cadence. The narration was very choppy feelings with lots of pauses and hesitations.

For 26-year-old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He's become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left, as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he has yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago. Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He's every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter - but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have - but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Choices This is a tale of Dylan and his journey to acceptance and love. Coming to grips about life and the effect of choices has never been told so eloquently. Other principle characters, Shane and Conner, each offer Dylan life experiences that shape his perspective. This book is well written and offers the reader a ride on an emotional rollercoaster that includes pain, shame, excitement, love, sorrow, regret, happiness, tears, sadness, and more love. I found this to be an enjoyable journey to learn and grow from... Though the book is part of a series, this book is a stand-alone and I certainly recommend for MM enthusiasts. Enjoyable M/M romance in a M/F series I really enjoyed this story. I read it as a stand alone because I have no interest in the earlier stories of the series. After seeing reviews for the other books I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I did. And conversely readers who are just buying this as part of the series should note that unlike the other books this story is a romance between two men. The dual narration is good enough not to be distracting. The story contains both the tragedies of the main characters' past as well as how they grow past the them in the present. Overall I was surprised but pleased that this was a credit well spent. My new favorite book! What did you love best about Let Love Live? The dual narration. Having two different narrators voice these characters that are completely different mind sets, it was genius. What was one of the most memorable moments of Let Love Live? All of it! I really liked part 3 though, seeing the possibility of Connor and Dylan finding their happy ever after. Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden and Marc Bachmann s other performances before? How does this one compare? I have, and I always enjoy their abilities to tell stories and capture an authors words with their voices. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was but it took me a few days. I will say, I was so enthralled with this story that I had my head phones in every moment I had the chance. Any additional comments? Dylan Hopkins found love at an early age with his best friend Shane. But the path to happiness is far from paved for these two young lovers. Shane's father is verbally, emotionally and physically abusive and Shane carries those marks daily.

Title: Finally Found Subtitle: More Than Friends, Book 8 Author: Aria Grace Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-16 Publisher: Aria Grace Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Trey's story. For the past six years at the University of Oregon, Trey has been completely focused on studying. With no time for relationships, he's had to rely on the occasional hookup to fulfill his physical need for companionship. Now that he's almost done with his master's degree in biology, his attention is on his career. Relationships will have to wait. Again. Chuck is hitching his way across the country, doing what he must to survive while trying to stay off the radar of an abusive ex. He just wants to get to L.A. in one piece so he can start over. His job skills are limited, but anything will be better than what he's running from. Hiding is hard but Chuck isn't ready to be found. Members Reviews: No More Running Chuck, a fugitive from a physically abusive relationship, runs away but meets up with a wonderful surpise when he finds himself in Portland, Oregon. In Portland, Chuck finds friends, people who really care and want to help. He also meets his Mr. Right, in an adorable and sexy geek named Trey. Sometimes when you run from a bad situation you run smack into something good. Aria Grace has done it again. Her characters are well developed and I don't necessarily mean physically either. Her books all have excellent plots and scenarios, not to mention the steamy love scenes. Love on the Run The story of Trey and Chuck is so sweet. Chuck is on the run from a psycho ex determined to see him dead and Trey is a geeky forensic scientist with serious relationship issues. Trey appears in several of the other books but in this one we finally get a chance to know him. He is a bit jaded, callous almost but determined and committed to creating a good life for himself. He has no time for love and romance and having been on the receiving end of rejection has built up walls of protection that make him appear douchey at times. But when he meets Chuck he tries and after a few mistakes that will have you screaming he finally manages to get it right and the feels you get by the end are worth the sometimes bumpy ride. The narration is great and I go back and forth about which of the narrators of this series I like best but I guess that's a good problem to have. Good listen Story was ok and of course I'm head over heels in love with Michael Ferraiuolo performance. good good story, it just ended too soon, and the antagonist is dealt with so quickly I almost missed it, I had the same complaint with another book in this series "my name is luka" if the book would have been maybe another 2 hours long I could have had a more satisfying wrap up, but they deal with it like it's nothing, and the bad guys in the book are doing some serious stuff too, I don't know if I want to continue the series because of that even though the narrators are great the stories are great but it reminds me of a Disney special where they have a bad guy, but because the good guys team up and let's say dump a bucket of water on their head then we never hear or see from them again. I love What the ever loving hotness did I just listen to? I just. I feel like. I loved it when. Omg. This one had a lot of excitement and action than the others, which I enjoyed. I love how Aria can create such an intense connection from me to the characters in no time at all. By the end of a 3 hr narration, I care more about the characters than other books 3x as long. The narrator was fantastic.

The Complete Lockpick Pornography Audiobook by Joey Comeau

Title: The Complete Lockpick Pornography Author: Joey Comeau Narrator: Teddy Hamilton Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 01-21-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Combining two novellas into one volume, this collection explores the effects of prejudice and the ramifications of violence with a slightly unhinged sense of humor and unexpected tenderness. Lockpick Pornography, originally published in 2005, is a gender-queer adventure story that was not widely available until now. We All Got It Coming presents the experiences of a young couple dealing with the aftermath of an act of violence. From kidnapping the son of a "family values" politician to violent confrontation, these are characters who fight back. Members Reviews: Give it a second chance I needed to read it twice to get over the shock of the words written on the page. Comeau wrenches the reader for the first page and made me experience a visceral hatred for the primary character. I hated the way the characters were portrayed; their behaviors atrocious. But, I felt like I was missing something vital. After over a week I started the journey of reading this book for the second time. I found myself identifying with the characters I had hated so deeply only a few days ago. It is not easy strolling through a meadow easy. It is hard and rough. Comeau makes you think; makes you respond to what is at first sight unloveable characters. I will be reading this again and again. How I Imagined My Childhood I have read many of Joey's books and short stories and have truly enjoyed the majority of them. The Complete Lockpick Pornography takes the proverbial cake. It's a very tasty cake too, none of that supermarket overly-sweet business. This is a cake baked with truth, compassion, honest exploration, secrets, human error, friendship, and sexiness. Probably because Joey is honest, sexy, and full of secrets...OR so he seems. The first story is pretty much how I remember my childhood, my friends, sex, and identity. I'm sure it was actually nothing like in the story, but that's how I remember it and isn't that what is really important? None the less, you should read the story. It's inspiring, challenging, and fun. The second story reminds me of my relationship with my partner, but I'm not the main character...my partner is. Once again, you should read the story. Then hug someone. You don't have to love them, but maybe you should consider it. Loving people can be tough, but really exciting and rewarding too. Maybe just start with a hug first. Thanks for the great adventures, Joey. A novella about genderqueer terrorism and writing children's books. It is my firm opinion that Joey Comeau will be remembered with the likes of Patricia Highsmith and Albert Camus as one of our most idiosyncratic and important novellists. He repeatedly strikes a certain balance between whimsicality and darkness that I believe is present in all of us, but is so infrequently expressed. The two novellas collected here - his first, Lockpick Pornography, and his latest, its thematic sequel We All Got It Coming - demonstrate just how versatile Joey is as a writer. The same theme is dealt with in the most opposite ways possible, yet presented with the same trademark offbeat humour and unflinching honesty. Both of these books are absolute joys to read, despite also being ostensibly depressing. The wit is biting, but it's a love bite. There is gut wrenching hilarity within these pages, but it serves to strengthen the genuine messages.

Worth Waiting For Audiobook by Kim Dare

Title: Worth Waiting For Author: Kim Dare Narrator: Joe Arden Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When Colby earned a swimming scholarship to the Falconer Institute of Training, he expected to spend all his time either training or studying, but that was before he looked out of his living room window and straight into the dance studio opposite. It's taken Noah years, but he's finally got his life in order. He teaches dance classes all day, hits the clubs every night, and he's not looking for complications - especially not in the form of overly-innocent swimmers who like to spy on him from across the street. The first time Colby approaches him, Noah has no trouble turning him away. It's only when Colby returns years later, to collect on a casually delivered promise, that Noah finds himself incapable of keeping Colby locked out of his carefully re-constructed life. Their kinks may match up perfectly, but their lives and their pasts couldn't be more different. Years have passed, but will what they have together turn out to be worth waiting for? Members Reviews: Making the Right Choice Noah has had a hard life full of some risky behavior and tough choices. But he is a beautiful dancer which catches the eye of the teenager across the street. Colby knows what he wants but Noah is honorable enough to send home until he's grown up. Three years later Colby is back and he's smart and caring enough to want things to be different and special for Noah. Their romance is sweet, caring, and hot by turns. They find that somethings are worth waiting for. Super steamy with a side of sweet I was pretty nervous for this book and didnt pick it up several times before I finally did and Im so glad I did! It was such a steam little surprise. The story felt complete despite its length and really gave me the chance to connect with and love the characters. Colby is so sweet, I adore him. Noah and Colby together are hot hot hot! This book was a steamy surprise. And as always Joe Arden is phenomenal. Story was ok, but felt too long and drawn out. Would you try another book from Kim Dare and/or Joe Arden? Yes. I did like the narrator and the story was ok. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Shorten it. Have you listened to any of Joe Ardens other performances before? How does this one compare? No. I did like the narration, it was one of the better that I've listened to. Was Worth Waiting For worth the listening time? I did listen to the end, but I would have like to have read the book instead so I could skim over parts. I wouldn't recommend the audible version.

Title: Awakening Subtitle: Drakon, Book 1 Author: Erik Schubach Narrator: Hollie Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 08-12-14 Publisher: Erik Schubach Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 124 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Doctor Myra O'Connell is researching myths and folklore. In a strange twist, she discovers that she is one of the legends she is researching. Then all hell breaks loose. Myra and the woman assigned to be her protector, Special Agent Quinn Trask, must fight for their lives, and those of the people of Denver and the world, against a madman bent on obtaining immortality. Only the dragons can stand in his way. Members Reviews: Another Mythological adventure for me! Would you consider the audio edition of Awakening to be better than the print version? hmmm... well i can't really say. i love both reading and listening with stories and the fact that the voice was amazing. the accent had a little change over the course of the book but still overall great! What was one of the most memorable moments of Awakening? oh it has to be when Myra's mother was on tv... that just made me laugh like crazy! my aunt thought i was going nuts Which scene was your favorite? when Myra kicked Reginald's ass!! wait can i say that? i mean butt! :D Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Myra was deathly afraid of height! or flying! and yet... she swooped down with hesitation to save her soul bond Quinn Any additional comments? loved the overall sass' (did i spell that right?) from both characters the story was engaging and always kept you at the edge of your seat. i little unscheduled pauses from the voice actress here and there. but not really that bad. still giving this 5 stars all the way! Another winner I just can't stop listening to Erik Schubach stories. Love the narrator, love the author's style, love the stories. This is saying a lot, considering I rarely latch onto an author who "fades to black" when it comes to sex scenes...in fact, none that make my fav list do... until Erik. His tales are rich and made to be audible. I'm not sure I'd enjoy them as much if I read them. The narrator really does a great job with his characters, especially the accents in this story. Looking forward to listening to the next in this series. "Watch That Claw" Would you try another book from Erik Schubach and/or Hollie Jackson? I do not buy too many paranormal books. This was good, but #2 if there is one, is not for me. Lots of good dialogue and humor. H.J. is good and I have many of her books to be listened to that I have purchased. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? this was a short good listen with an inventive story line. It had fun good humorous dialogue so it was a good buy. The author eluded to a lesbian relationship, which did not make much sense to me. No erotic descriptions, more of 2 pals going to last into the ages. The ending does lead you to book #2 if author wrote one. Have you listened to any of Hollie Jacksons other performances before? How does this one compare? AKA: Sophie Eastlake, Erin Mallon, Julie Walean and a few other names does a fab job on Irish, Aussie accents. Not to be missed. The sample clued me to the AKA. on this book which was why I purchased. H.J. name seems to denote more erotic or paranormal stories. She can read too slow in some books, so listen to the sample. Could you see Awakening being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? N/A Any additional comments? Audible, I would love an AKA list.

Signal to Noise Audiobook by Talya Andor

Title: Signal to Noise Author: Talya Andor Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 06-19-14 Publisher: Less Than Three Press, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It's been three years since the Incursion; three long years since Bastian and his twin brother Theo became the sole survivors on the planet Noise. Their distress calls have gone unanswered, and they are running out of supplies. They have no one but each other. And when the long-awaited rescue finally arrives, it brings with it complications that make being alone and forgotten look easy. Note: This title contains explicit content and features a relationship between twin brothers. Members Reviews: Starship Troopers + Aliens + Gay Psionic Twins Who was your favorite character and why? I really liked Bastian. I thought he was sweet and tough at the same time. Also, I have a thing for guys who can wear eyeliner while toting s big gun around. Have you listened to any of Michael Stellmans other performances before? How does this one compare? I've only listened to one other performance by Michael Stellman (Stay With Me), and I thought he did a better job narrating Signal to Noise. His voice suited the story, and he was able to give more variation in the character voices. I had a hard time putting this down because I really liked Michael's tone and wanted to keep listening to it in one sitting. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Theo and Bastian thought they were going to die as bombs were being dropped on Noise. Any additional comments? I actually enjoyed this quite a bit although would have preferred less time spent on the (very) explicit sex scenes since they kind of messed with the pace and tension of the story. I mean, there are scary alien parasites turning their victims into zombies! The last thing the boys need to be doing is sexing each other up. This is not the critically acclaimed book Would you try another book from Talya Andor and/or Michael Stellman? Nope What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? All three: Anger, Sadness and Disappointment. Anger at myself for purchasing the wrong book. Sadness that this was not the critically acclaimed book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. And disappointment when I was expecting an awesome fantasy novel and I ended up with incest, gay porn.

Strings Attached Audiobook by Nick Nolan

Title: Strings Attached Author: Nick Nolan Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-26-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Closeted teenager Jeremy is sent to live with wealthy relatives after his mother enters rehab. Struggling to fit into the posh world of Ballena Beach, Jeremy joins the high school swim team, dates a popular girl, and begins to think he may have landed in paradise - until his great aunt Katharine starts to dictate his every moveand a late-night phone call insinuates that his fathers accidental death was not so accidental after all. As Jeremy grows accustomed to the veneer of a fabulous life, so grows his need for answers - as well as the danger of immeasurable harm. Weaving together a murder mystery, sexual ambiguity, and characters with hidden identities and agendas, Nick Nolan offers listeners a deliciously witty novel about the "puppet" who wishes only to be a real boy. Strings Attached is also a surprisingly heartfelt story about coming-of-age and coming out - not necessarily in that order. Members Reviews: A surprising treat! Luke Daniels has become one of my favorite narrators. He transforms this story from just an OK coming of age/coming out read, to a truly wonderful experience. I don't think I would have enjoyed this story as much if I had read it. The POVs constantly changed and the story drags a little. But Mr. Daniels made me really enjoyed tagging along on Jeremy's journey and tragic adventure. I look forward to the next audiobook in the series, Double Bond, which is Arthur's story. Wasn't expecting to like it so much I really enjoyed the play with the Pinocchio story threaded throughout the book. It was subtle and well executed rather than an obvious "re-telling" of a fairy tale set in a modern setting. It was a bit slow to start, and there were a few kind of tedious trope moments (denial of orientation long past when it is reasonable, crush on the hot jock, etc.). In spite of those things, once it got going I found that I was sucked in. Maybe it is my own "daddy" issue's, but I felt that the sore subjects that Nick Nolan touched on in so far as relationships with parents and finding substitutes when biological parents fail really resonated. I fell in love with Arthur. This is for sure a coming of age story, and not awash in hot gay erotica, though it does have a few good moments. Luke Daniels is one of the narrators that I think I always enjoy. Just for the economics of it, I wouldn't spend a credit, but it is worth the whyspersync reduced pricing deal for sure. Teenage identity story : ( Nope, not my kind of story. It was too teen oriented with adult themes. It was definitely a teen type of story about a teen guy realizing that he was gay. I feel they should have labeled it as a "young adult gay fiction." Furthermore, I felt a little insulted the way that the author portrayed the female characters in the book. I absolutely hated the way the the narrator, Luke Daniels, used a high pitched irritating voice when he read the female lines. The end of the story is open for a follow-up novel, however, I am confident I will not want to read it. Badly written, banal and boring.

Zach's Secret Audiobook by Matthew W. Grant

Grant Narrator: Luke Avery Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-13 Publisher: Granite Gate Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Can a young man come out, find love, and survive senior year all at the same time? Zach Denham, the editor of a small town high school newspaper, struggles to act like a "normal" guy by dating a female friend. Key, the schools newly arrived attractive jock, forces Zach to confront the truth about his sexual identity. Friends will become enemies when an explosive issue divides the school community. As Mrs. Trevott, Zachs trusted and sharp-tongued English teacher advises, some of them will stand up for what they believe in even if they are standing alone. Members Reviews: A lesson in being true to yourself ... What did you like best about this story? I liked that the story focused on Zach, Key and their friends and the relationships among them. This is also a romance but it is written in a sweet way with no overt sex scenes to make anyone uncomfortable. What does Luke Avery bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? While Mr. Avery could be a little 'dry' at times, I felt that there were moments when he gave the characters and the scenes the emotion that they needed. He did draw me into the story and kept me entertained. I would listen to another of his works to see what he does with other genres of books. If you could take any character from Zach's Secret out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would love to go out to eat with Ms. Trevott. Her back story was sad but she endured on and was making a difference to her students. I appreciated that. There always seems to be that one teacher in every school that just connects with the students in a way that makes it all ok. Any additional comments? Zach's Secret is the story of a young man, a senior in high school, his coming to terms with who he is. This is a book that everyone should listen to or read. I would highly recommend it. Many things can be learned from this story. I received a copy of the book for free in exchange for an honest review. Horrible story, a chore to finish Would you try another book from Matthew W. Grant and/or Luke Avery? The narrator, yes. The author, probably not. Would you ever listen to anything by Matthew W. Grant again? Doubtful What aspect of Luke Averys performance would you have changed? Completely wrong choice of narrator for a high school student If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zach's Secret? The whole story with the headmaster was stupid, but I could have lived with the OTT drama, if there had been some emotions! Loved and Hated it! Narration - Luke Avery - Pretty good...he's a good narrator, although he did sound very much like an adult. Which I guess these guys are 18 and adults, but he just sounded a lot older than I would perceive these young men to sound. But other than that, he has a great voice, capable of voicing several unique character voices and it seemed to be a pretty good production. The story, I loved and hated. I hate that there are people in this world that have to go through what these kids had to go through and I know this isn't just a story, but crap like this happens every day and well, that just makes me mad. I agree with some other reviewers that Zach seemed a little emotionless at times and that there was room for this story to go so much farther with this whole topic, but it was still a really enjoyable book for me.

Fool for Love Audiobook by Timothy J. Lambert, R.D. Cochrane

Cochrane Narrator: Roman M. Wagar Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In an age of hookups and cybersex, who has time for a little romance? For all those who think love's gone the way of the 8-track tape comes a collection of new gay fiction designed to reignite their belief in love and romance. Follow the travails of a dog walker enchanted with his new client, a restaurant owner who catches the eye of his most loyal customer, a blind date fix-up, and other seekers of the lost flame as they stumble upon romance and a possible chance at love. Showcasing new work from some of today's best-known gay writers, including Trebor Healey, Felice Picano, Joel Derfner, Andrew Holleran, and Greg Herren, the stories in Fool for Love are a funny, sweet, and sometimes wrenching reminder of the joy romance brings to the human heart. Members Reviews: Fool For Love Iâll be honest. This may be only the second anthology Iâve ever read cover to cover. I was never a big short story reader until I started writing more of it a few years back. I find anthologies (esp. genre anthologies, which is what I normally read) such a mixed bag. Some stories pull me in with a strong plot and fascinating character. Others just donât catch my attention. It was illuminating for me to read an anthology not based on genre but on a theme. Fool for Love not only gave me a collection of well-written, character-driven stories, but it also challenged me to look at love and romance in a new light â several new lights in fact. "Thai Angel" David Puterbaugh What a great way to start an anthology! Somewhere in the first scene I realized how little description I was reading and that it was almost entirely dialogue. My background is in theater and reading this story reminded me more of a script than literature - which in no way is a criticism. Attempting to develop character and conflict almost exclusively through dialogue is not an easy task and any author who can pull it off is very gifted. David Puterbaugh is one of these guys. His characters were a blast to read, especially Kamaâs mother, with her cantankerous personality. She wasn't the only one though. Kama struggling to make a go of his family's restaurant while hiding his sexual identity from his Thai mother, his wannabe actress sister who only wants what's best for him, his potential love interest, and his eventual love interest â they were all so clearly drawn through the dialogue that extensive description wasn't necessary. I enjoyed reading about these folks so much, I only wish it could have gone on longer. âLove Tapsâ Mark G. Harris Okay, Iâm embarrassed to admit that the passive aggressive nature of this coupleâs relationship completely appealed to me and the evil tricks they played on one another had me laughing out loud over and over again. Itâs like Edward Albee had Martha and George give birth to a pretend dog instead of a pretend son. Genius. Although a little confused at first, I got into the groove of the narrative quickly and, as Iâm writing this, Iâm still laughing as I recall pizza boxes attached to walls and late-night prank calls. The mischievousness, the paranoia, the dead-on shorthand dialogue of lovers whoâd been together for years, the freakinâ jealousy over a non-existent dog â all of it, I am ashamed to say, I could appreciate and relate to. I loved this thing.

Title: Sade and Mischa Author: Scarlet Butler Narrator: Melissa Sternenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-16 Publisher: Love Spells Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sade shook her head, blushing. Though this was what she had hoped for, a part of her wanted to delay the moment. She wanted it to go on forever. A melancholy feeling spread throughout her entire body, knowing that once the sun rose in the morning, this would all be over. What then? Would they continue to see each other - or was this just a one night stand? Her questions were premature, for Mischa got off the bed. Sade feared that she had ruined the moment between them, but her worries were unfounded. Mischa peeled her top off before removing her jeans. A hot pink bra and panties clung on to her taut body, as she stood at the edge of the bed. Without waiting for Sade's request, Mischa then undid the clasp of her bra to release the most wonderful pair of breasts Sade had ever seen in her life. She stared as they bounced outwardly, released by its undergarment prison. Her thumbs tucked into each side of her panties, and pushed them down to reveal her pubic area - shaved to delightful smoothness. Members Reviews: A great romantic (and erotic) lesbian love story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would if they are looking for a story from the perspective of someone in the gay community Have you listened to any of Melissa Sternenbergs other performances before? How does this one compare? I have listened to her performances in other mediums but this is my first time I've heard her do an audiobookShe has an excellent voice for narration and did each part of the story extremely well, from describing life for a homosexual in South Africa and the violence and bigotry they face to the romantic/erotic scenes. I would love to her more stuff from her Any additional comments? The ending leaves me wanting to know what happens in the next book

But Sonny is desperate, and although Ace isn't going to take him up on his offer of "anything", that doesn't mean he isn't tempted. Instead, Ace takes Sonny under his wing, protecting him when they're in the service and making plans with him when they get out. Together, they're going to own a garage and build race cars and make their fortune hurtling faster than light across the desert. Together, they're going to rewrite the past, make Sonny Daye a whole and happy person, and put the ghosts in Ace's heart to rest. But not even Sonny can build a car fast enough to escape the ghosts of the past. When Sonny's ghosts drive them down and run their plans off the road, Ace finds out exactly what he's made of. Maybe Sonny was the one to promise Ace anything, but there is nothing under the sun Ace won't do to keep Sonny safe from harm. Members Reviews: 4.75 Stars! Any additional comments? 4.75 Stars 4.5 stars for the story, 5 stars for Nick J. Russo's excellent narration! Told in first-person from Jasper Ace Anderson Atchisons point of view this story is beautiful, crazy, messy, wonderful, and consuming. Rather like the characters. Ace is unequivocally in love with Sonny, and Sonny has an all-consuming, possessive, jealous, love for Ace. They would lay down their lives for one another. They would kill for each other. The story begins in the present and then segues to the past to Ace meeting Sonny in the military and follows their life together. Nick J. Russo's narration is phenomenal! I was riveted by the second sentence. My name is Jasper Anderson Atchison. People call me Ace. I am a murderer and a thief, but if Sonny still wants me, I will call myself a good man. There are moments in the book, moments where I held my breath and prayed for the safety of a written character. Moments where I wondered how broken is broken, and how crazy is really crazy? Because Sonny is broken. Seriously broken. Sold at fifteen for two bricks of meth to a drug dealer who treated him worse than a dog on the streets, Sonny eventually ran and remade himself. He joined the Army to keep him but once he met Ace, he had opted to go with him instead. I will never want to leave you. I promise I will always want to keep you, I told him...I couldnt let him down. I couldnt. I promise, Sonny. I will try to be what you deserve. I absolutely loved the story and the narration. Even though this story and the characters pushed my boundaries and my limits, I was enthralled and know it will go into my rotation to listen again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Blue Collar Wonderful The blurb says that Ace will do anything for Sonny and he does. This is another winner from Amy Lane. The story is told from Ace's POV and he is a wonderful, funny, tell it like it is character from a loving blue collar family. Although he has hid the fact that he is gay for a long time, wanting Sonny has made him determine to be with him and nothing is going to stop him. He is magnificent. Sonny is another story. He has been traumatized in the worst way for many years and has MAJOR trust issues. Neither of these MCs comes across as entirely mentally stable, but it is what it is and they make if work. Sometimes painfully.

When hiring a contractor to renovate his kitchen sends Sandy barreling into his life, Everett is only too happy to accept the chaos - until he realizes he's in over his head.

The story just leaps out at you in the best way possible, you will see! Michael and Kate's talents come together to make an audiobook you will enjoy again and again! I love Sandy, he just walked right into my heart!

I really love this story, and Michael brings it to life in a way I don't think someone else could! Grab your copy today friends! You will love it too! Almost perfect. Any additional comments? There were some truly tender moment in this story and I truly did love Sandy and Evan together. There was just something missing, something... I don't know. This had the potential to be a beautiful love story. The narrator was decent and I appreciated that he did sound around the age of the main characters who were 35 and 40. His voice was smooth and easy to listen too.

An Unconventional Courtship Audiobook by Scotty Cade

Title: An Unconventional Courtship Author: Scotty Cade Narrator: Finn Sterling Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 02-13-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 133 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Tristan Moreau loves his job as chief administrative officer and personal assistant to Webber Kincaid, President, Chairman, and CEO of Kincaid International. It would be the perfect job...if only he hadn't fallen in love with his boss as well as the work. After two years, he's still doing everything in his power to keep his feelings hidden-mostly because he wants to protect the reputation of his famous boss but also because he wants to keep his job. Webber Kincaid has stayed in the closet, using his best friend and confidante as his beard. Everything in his life was working out just fine until he met Tristan Moreau. Within months, Tristan stole his heart and became his lifeline. But Webber knows the rules of the workplace better than anyone, so he's kept his distance. But two years is too long to wonder what if?-especially when business takes them to a private Caribbean island. When Tristan and Webber succumb to the tropical heat, their professionalism starts to backslide. It's a seemingly impossible relationship, making a go at it under the paparazzi's microscope. It may be the best-or the worst-business decision they ever made. Members Reviews: Wonderful Romance If you could sum up An Unconventional Courtship in three words, what would they be? Sweet, moving, romantic What was one of the most memorable moments of An Unconventional Courtship? I love their interactions in the Virgin Islands. Webber went out of his way to romance Kincaid. It was beautifully written. Which character as performed by Finn Sterling was your favorite? Webber. I loved his soft southern accent. He also did a very passable Caribbean patois. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but I had to work the next day. Any additional comments? Please give Finn more work. I am very impressed with his narrative skills. If more books were read by him or other narrators with his talent, I'd be broke from buying them. When good narration happens to a bad story Any additional comments? Though it has a promising premise - office assistant in love with his boss for years - the execution was lacking. This is what happens when good narration happens to a bad story. It didn't matter that Finn Sterling delivers a good performance. The story grated from early on, ruining any opportunity for me to really enjoy it. Full disclosure on why it didn't work for me: It's overly descriptive for everything, it's a giant miscommunication plot early on, which takes more than half the book to correct, and the "twist" at the end was far too predictable. I actually marked this DNF at 52%. However, after taking the night (and having errands to run around town) I decided to go ahead, try it again, and, if not enjoy it, then at least tough it out and finish the audio book.

She's always been a good girl, the kind who kept her clothes clean and got straight A's in school; and she's spent the years ever since working dutifully as a secretary. Kind and gentle, Lily is the sort of person everyone wants for a friend. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of her boss. Intelligent and successful, James Dominick has always craved success - and when possible, he makes sure other people bear the cost of his actions. So it's hardly a surprise that when hitmen show up to take him out, James has disappeared...and the only person in his house is Lily. Kidnapped and terrified, Lily has become determined to talk her way out of this. The gang that's captured her can't possibly be so ruthless as to kill an innocent woman, can they? In fact, she'd bet that Liam and Cameron, the ringleaders, are a lot nicer than they want to admit. She's pretty sure they don't want to kill her. And Lily is exactly right. Liam and Cameron don't want to kill her. Not at all. What she doesn't know? They've both fallen for her...and Liam and Cameron have always shared everything. If she's not careful, Lily is about to discover just how good it can feel to be bad. Members Reviews: It was good a read up until it abruptly ended It was good a read up until it abruptly ended.

Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes? Amara Young has always been on the outside looking in. She's the one lightning-struck woman out of her group who has never felt as if she's belonged. She lost a year of her life caring for her dying friend, but now it's her turn to find out who she is. Only when the time comes, two men stand in her way - two men who claim her as theirs. Tristan Archer, fae royalty and Conclave member, has waited over 900 years for his fate. And now he has two chances. While one knows his path, the other seems blind to what they could have. It will take more than a simple risk for Tristan to finally have what he desires, that is if Amara and Seth can overcome their own uncertainties. While the other two in his life are fighting themselves and their futures, Seth Oceanus knows exactly what he wants. The younger brother of a Conclave member and relatively young in his realm, he knows he'll have to prove himself so others see him for who he truly is. As the triad succumbs to their cravings, they will have to fight more than their overwhelming feelings in order to survive. Members Reviews: Braver Than You Believe!! Amara Young, one of the lightning struck women has always felt like she didn't belong, her friends never had any idea she felt that way. She made the decision to move one which meant leaving her friends and town behind. She needed to find herself. Before she got a chance to leave, she was faced with the fact that she not only had one true half but two halves who were just waiting for her. What was a woman with uncertainties to do? Tristan Archer was a fae and one of the newest Conclave member, he had been awaiting for his mate for over nine hundred years only to find out that he had two mates whom he really wanted to get to know. If only his goddess, Amara would give herself a chance and see how great they could be together...He'll just had to show her. Seth Oceanus was a merman and the youngest brother of a Conclave member, he knew what he wanted. While his mates were fighting what fate had planned for them. Seth made sure that he was worthy of his mates. Amara finally let go of her insecurities, decided to take a leap of faith, found love and fought for what she needed....Which was a FUTURE with her mates. When their bond and family were threatened, Amara showed the enemy never to underestimate her. And not to mess with her loved ones. AN IMMORTAL'S SONG was enchanting, Carrie Ann Ryan did it again, she had me hooked from the start until the end of the book. 5++++ Looking forward to Malik and Eliana's story in the next installment....PROWLED DARKNESS. Hot men, Surprise event and loving ending I was given this book for an honest review. Amera was one of the eight caught in the lightning strike, however, one the other found they mates they became something totally different. Amera wondered what was taking so long for her mate to find her and claim her. Little did she know she was in for the ride of her life with not one but two men that were totally different.

He meets Peter Montgomery at the funeral. The American seems nice and captures Luka's attention when he offers to help him with his English. Peter has spent most of his life believing he shot his father at age six, and his family uses his regret and overwhelming guilt to keep him under their proverbial thumbs. Peter does his best to make up for what he did by helping others, and agreeing to help Luka with his English yields something amazing when they hit it off. When Peter opens up to Luka about what happened when he was a child, Luka senses some holes in the story and suspects Peter needs some help, so he approaches the head of the psychology department at the college where he works. Neither expects to open a long-barricaded door to secrets, denial, and family manipulation. Members Reviews: The Power of Truth... As a fan of Andrew Grey's writing, I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I've not heard one like it before and as with most of Grey's stories there is a happily ever after. But the journey to getting there is always a lesson to learn. Truth is a wondrous thing and can things into motion that brings forth growth and learning! Luca and Peter's come together with a past, each learning the truth and dealing with it and in that course find love with one another. A sweet story that causes the pitter patter of this hopeless romantic's heart to swoon with glee...a definite recommendation...As far as the narrator, Michael Ferraiuolo, I am not sure if I have heard him before, but he was excellent and brought life to the characters within the story. I'm looking forward to hearing more from him... Another Home Run! Andrew has a way of captivating and harnessing your heartstrings and tugging them. Each story is a work of art,and this one is no exception. Good story but kind of boring..... the concept for this story is good but the execution is a bit on the boring side. I liked the love story and the resolve the characters have near the end but, the story just dragged along for me in between and I could barely finish. I like the narrator, he did fine in this story, when things got emotional he really really made me feel like I was listening to a real person grieving. I am sad to say I cannot recommend this book even though it does have a interesting premise, it was bogged down with way too much exposition and mediocre dialogue. Not bad The story - like most of AGs stories - is not bad, but just not amazing either. There is no insane drama or highs and lows but just a steady story of two men falling in love and some issues that needs to be resolved. I do not know why AGs stories rarely moves me, but they dont and this is no exeption. If u are a fan, u will probably like the story, but the most i can say for it is that it isnt bad. Andrew draws you into his created world Written to entertain, while keeping you grounded in the world. Funny, sad, you'll love the new characters

A Serving of Love Audiobook by Andrew Grey

Title: A Serving of Love Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Jeff Gelder Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 01-11-13 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 78 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Taste of Love Story Sebastian Franklin has waited a long time to prove himself as front of the house manager at Cafe Belgie, but his first night in charge while Darryl, his boss, is on vacation is less than a success. The restaurant is robbed at closing time, and the Good Samaritan who foiled the robber comes with his own complications. Robert Fortier is the countys newest judge, and a reluctant one at that. He is well aware that a public life is not always easy, especially when your personal life makes you the target of a media frenzy. Still, Robert enjoys Sebastians company, and Sebastian is never without a serving of happiness and flair for his favorite public figure. But Sebastian is not without his issues either - family chaos and an ex in trouble will put the pressure on as they struggle for even footing in this new romance. Members Reviews: Just okay! while the narrator was good, the storyline was not enough to make this listen more than "just okay". If you are looking for a read which keeps your interest and has you wondering what will happen next then this is not it! Had to warm up to the narrator - but a good story! Where does A Serving of Love rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Although I thoroughly enjoyed a 'Serving of Love' some of Andrew Grey's other writings (the 'love means...' Series) a bit more. Overall, a good read! Have you listened to any of Jeff Gelders other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my first time listening to this narrator. It took me a while to warm up to him But once I did, I found that I enjoyed the story more & more. Any additional comments? I loved that Andrew Grey wrote a current story - which allowed me to relate to the characters well. He's a good author & I look forward to reading more selections by him. Not as good as the others Is there anything you would change about this book? The story isn't as engaging as the others by Andrew Grey. The emotions of the characters didn't feel genuine and the entire romance was too fast. There wasn't enough time (calendar-wise) for the internal struggles of a guy coming out of the closet and dealing with public life. The story makes a point of Robert's height and then doesn't use it in anyway. It notes Gregory's illness, but that moves from mild to severe too quickly to be able to identify with him or others nearby. And the love scenes don't feel realistic, especially for a first love. What didnt you like about Jeff Gelders performance? The entire performance felt like someone had cut out fractions of the seconds, or was playing it at 1.25. Without the worded cue (Robert said, Billy said, etc...) the characters were indistinguishable. Any additional comments? Overall, like the author's works, but this one felt flat. Uplifting Very nice love story! I enjoy listening to stories like this that do not focus on negativity and despair as if we do not have enough of them in the real world! Good light reading Exactly what I was expecting. Good, light reading. The story can be more realistic but it is pleasant enough. Money well spent.

The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity Audiobook by St. Sukie de la Croix

Title: The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity Author: St. Sukie de la Croix Narrator: Kory Getman Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Lethe Press Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Has something gone amiss at the home of the Clam sisters? In the early years of the 20th century, one sister purchases a rare blue spong from a songbird dealer without realizing its strange provenance. Soon, the aristocratic sisters and their staff find themselves exposed to a flying koan, provoking them to cast off their commonplace mores, their staid lives, for something altogether bold and ribald: criminal activities, same-sex affairs, even political agitation! De la Croix's The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity is a humorous novel that showcases the follies of heteronormative, misogynistic, repressive life. Members Reviews: This book is itself a break from mediocrity Being familiar with previous writings of the author, I was looking forward to this new novel; and I must say that I'm not disappointed. As might be expected from the book title, St Sukie's writing style is anything but mediocre. To describe it as imaginative would be a grave disservice. A fantastical melange of the bizarre, the exotic, and the taboo is more like it. Some might even describe it as weird or insane, but I suspect he might perceive such terms as compliments. If so inclined, one could easily find something to be offended by--be it an irreverent stance towards religion, bawdy language, or ribald descriptions of sexual encounters. Yet in relatively short order, the characters (including minor ones) are sufficiently developed and the evolving story line so titillating that I felt compelled to read the book in one sitting to see how the loose ends were tied up. They were but, perhaps not unsurprisingly, not necessarily in neat and tidy ways that more traditional storytellers might choose. To be sure, this book wouldn't appeal to everyone. Those who thrive on linear, logical, analytical mental processing wouldn't "get" this book. However, those willing to transgress the mundane; and to entertain alternative realities and perspectives would likely enjoy it. Well the Clam sisters found a way out if mediocrity when one of them buys the Blue Spong at her favorite pet store Are you mediocre? How does one exit a mediocre life? Well the Clam sisters found a way out if mediocrity when one of them buys the Blue Spong at her favorite pet store. And then the fun begins with the reading of this book by St, Sukie de la Croix. Strange episodes take place and people begin to change whenever the Blue Spong stretches its blue lights outward. The characters are bizarre and fun; the plot is developed in a fantasy type world which changes one's perception of fantasy. This reader who has dealt with literature all of his life can say nothing but positive things about this work, It is fascinating to follow the line of thought the author puts into crafting this work. It is well written, something expected but not always found incurrent works. Sukie is to be congratulated in the development he has put into this. If one wants to lose themselves in a time away from mediocrity, this is the book to read.

Using electronics and desperation, Anderson creates a family to keep him company, but family isn't always a blessing. When Anderson finally arrives, C.J. Poulson greets him with curiosity and awe, because anyone who can survive a holocaust and reinvent holo-science is going to be a legend and right up C.J.'s alley. But the more C.J. investigates how Anderson endured the last 10 years, the deeper he is drawn into a truly dangerous fantasy, one that offers the key to Anderson's salvation - and his destruction. In spite of his best intentions, C.J. cant resist the terribly seductive Anderson. Their attraction threatens to destroy them, because the heart of a man who can survive the destruction of his people and retain his sense of self holds a solid core of alpha male that will not be denied. Members Reviews: Another Solid Story from Amy... Amy Lane continues to be at the top of her game. The trials of Anderson and the dedication of CJ are just the topping to this great story. Family, survival, love, pain, joy, sadness...it's all here. Highly recommend... Excellent!! One of the best books I've listened to in quite a while. Lots of great story and fantastic ideas. I found it so good that I listened to the whole 11 hour story with only a short break. Kept me interested right to the end, and was able to evoke a very emotional reaction...both by story and the way it was narrated...unusual in today's writings. The narrator, Paul Morey, was superb! I will look for other books with this narrator! More layers Than you Think at first I listen to this story the first time as just a good story - which it really is. But when i listened to it the second time i put On a different set of glasses so to speak and listened while thinking of the splitning of ones personallity the Way Anderson did to create the friends he needed in the ten years he was all alone. The story became something Else and even better - Amy Lane did an amazing job with this story and it has become one of my top ten. Narrator is - as he allways is - very good. Absolutely worth your time if you like m/m romance and especially if you like your stories a little more Than meets the eye. Allthough is is kind of sad too because your heart will break repeatedly for the little lonely and very smart boy Who breaks into pieces. God I love Amy Lane! I was skeptical about this book and didn't buy it for a long time - the description and genre did not appeal to me even though Amy Lane is one of my favorite MM authors. I am glad I finally got around to this one though. It has become one of my favorites. Paul Morey is a kind of hit-or-miss narrator for me. For some books I really love him, and in others I struggle with his pronunciation and inflections. He was a really good fit for this book though and I enjoyed the life he breathed into this cast of characters. I really just don't have the words - the blurb didn't do it for me, but I honestly couldn't write anything that would do the book any more justice.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Two years after the Civil War, Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow has gone undercover with one of the weird West's most dangerous outlaw gangs - the troop led by "Reverend" Asher Rook, ex-Confederate chaplain turned "hexslinger," and his notorious lieutenant (and lover) Chess Pargeter. Morrow's task: get close enough to map the extent of Rook's power, then bring that knowledge back to help Professor Joachim Asbury unlock the secrets of magic itself. Magicians, cursed by their gift to a solitary and painful existence, have never been more than a footnote in history. But Rook, driven by desperation, has a plan to shatter the natural law that prevents hexes from cooperation, and change the face of the world - a plan sealed by an unholy marriage-oath with the goddess Ixchel, mother of all hanged men. To accomplish this, he must raise her bloodthirsty pantheon from its collective grave through sacrifice, destruction, and apotheosis. Caught between a passel of dead gods and monsters, hexes galore, Rook's witchery, and the ruthless calculations of his own masters, Morrow's only real hope of survival lies with the man without whom Rook cannot succeed: Chess Pargeter himself. But Morrow and Chess will have to literally ride through Hell before the truth of Chess's fate comes clear - the doom written for him, and the entire world. Critic Reviews: "(A) boundary-busting horror-fantasy debut.... fully delivers both sizzling passions and dark chills." (Publishers Weekly) "Files' poetic prose is pitch-perfect: languid, precise and full of dark imagery..." (Justine Warwick, Rue Morgue #102) "Gangs of New York rubs against the cross-genre cheek of True Blood, mashed with a healthy dollop pf J.R.R. Tolkien by way of a dusty, mud- and semen-caked Deadwood... truly one-of-a-kind, violent, carnal and creepy." (Fangoria) Members Reviews: Good book but way too explicit. Would you consider the audio edition of A Book of Tongues to be better than the print version? Yes. The authors work is often over flowery and ponderous but the narraotr is excellent and makes it work. Who was your favorite character and why? I liked the reverend. It was interesting to witness his fall from grace. What about Gordon Mackenzies performance did you like? He has great range and adds emotional quality to the book. Who was the most memorable character of A Book of Tongues and why? All the characters are distinct and memorable. No one in the series is nothing less than well developed. Any additional comments? The big problem with the series is the sexual content. This has some of the most graphic male homosexual scenes you could find in a non-porn book. I am not talking about one scene, it is throughout this book and all the rest. The story and setting was good enough I slogged through it, but it is very likely to disturb a lot of readers. DO NOT LET ANYONE UNDER 18 LISTEN TO THIS BOOK! You have been warned. the author has a good story. Why she feels the need to devlove into porn at regular intervals makes no sense. Still it is worth a read if you can get past that. worst book I have read in a looking time horrible book with base and shallow characters. If you like open or erotic readings with no story line or at least a bad story line you might like this book.

Title: The Merchant and the Clergyman Author: Bonnie Dee, Summer Devon Narrator: Noah Michael Levine Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A village clergyman. Curate James Fletcher is content shepherding his parishioners through the good and bad times of their lives. If he sometimes dreams of making a deeper connection with a man who truly knows everything about him, it is an impulse he ignores. A devoted businessman. Declan Shaw solves problems at his family's many business enterprises. Recently, he's considered ceasing his travels to pursue a few desires of his own. He'd love to explore his secret love of cooking and perhaps have a relationship with a man that lasts longer than a night. The event that brings them together. In town for his cousin's wedding, Declan meets James just as he's bested the annoying groom. Intrigued by the mild-mannered cleric's surprising spirit, Declan asks James to help him discover if his aging aunt is being mistreated by her spouse. As their paths repeatedly cross, the men reach an intersection of attraction they can't ignore. Will they dare pursue forbidden passion and continue to journey together into the future, or will their differences tear them apart? Members Reviews: Unmet potential This story has potential to be interesting because of the plot & characters aside from the romance. Unfortunately the romance itself was predictable and boring. The narration is pretty good. It's rare that an American narrator can get so close to getting British accents right. If this were my first book from these authors there wouldn't be a second. Simple story Loved the story. Set in a small village, Love story between a business man and a man of the clothe. Simple and fun. Narrator new to me was amazing.

Gambling Men Audiobook by Amy Lane

Title: Gambling Men Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 06-10-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Quent Jackson has followed Jason Spade's every move in business and in poker since their first day as college freshmen. Eight years later, when Jace finally decides Quent is the one man he can't live without, he sees no reason for that to change. But as much as Jace believes that poker is life, no one gave Quent the same playbook. After their first passionate night, the real game of love and trust begins, and Jace has been playing alone too long to make teaching the rules easy. Jace only speaks two languages: one of them is sex, and the other one is poker. Between the two, he needs to find a way to convince himself to take a chance on love - and Quent to take a chance on him. It's a lucky thing they're good at reading the odds, because they're playing for keeps, and this is one high-stakes relationship that's definitely worth the gamble. Members Reviews: Very enjoyable story and superb narration Im a fan of Amys writing style and have thoroughly enjoyed the stories Ive read of hers so far. In fact, Ive actually listened to most of them rather than reading them. For me, Beneath the Stain, The Locker Room, and Chase in Shadow particularly stand out as superb pieces of gay romance literature; all high on the angst scale and with memorable characters. Gomez Pugh is also one of my favourite narrators. I adore his voice and the terrific way he performs every story Ive listened to. His husky voice for Quent is low and growly, and so, so sexy. His pace and technique are spot on here and added to my enjoyment of the story. I love stories that show the slow build of a relationship and Amys stories always work wonders with this. Jace and Quent are two very different personalities, but they gel together wonderfully. Its a friends to lovers story. The guys have been friends for the best part of eight years and at the beginning of this story that changes to something more. So, most of the story focuses on them learning to be in a relationship as they continue to work with each other and spend time with their friends. Their connection is possessive and intense, with the chemistry sizzling between them. Its out and out hot and steamy with lots and lots of sex scenes. The sex in the stationery cupboard/print room was smoking. Theres also some lovely, slightly angsty moments as they forge their way along the relationship pathway. I especially like how needy Jace becomes and the effect the fear of losing Quent has on him. Gah! I love these deep and raw emotional scenes. By the end of the story, I could see these guys still being together when they are in the eighties. Partners for life and forever. And Quent is such a considerate and caring partner. So, the story is mostly about them dealing with something that is new and different for them both. They grow as a couple and sort out their problems. Theres no major miscommunication or fall outs. I love how Jaces character changes and adapts with regard to his feelings and responses to Quent over the course of the story. Yes, things happen to these guys, but theres no overriding conflict apart from their budding relationship. But I suppose thats true to life for most couples. The interaction with the friends at their poker games and colleagues at work added humour and helped to lighten the story.

Breaking the Ice Audiobook by Kim Baldwin

Title: Breaking the Ice Author: Kim Baldwin Narrator: Kim Baldwin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 12-09-15 Publisher: Dog Ear Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 80 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Nothing is easy about life above the Arctic Circle. Except, perhaps, falling in love. Bryson Faulkner embraces the challenges that come with making a home in one of the most beautiful but unforgiving places on earth: the isolation of the endless wilderness, the harsh and unpredictable climate, and the predators that lurk about her remote cabin. And even the most perilous dangers of all - those that await her when she takes to the skies as one of Alaska's most daring bush pilots. The only thing missing is a special woman to share it all with, but she's resigned herself to the fact that few people can thrive in such an extreme environment. Everything Karla Edwards thought she knew gets called into question when a series of events turns her comfortable and well-ordered life on its ear. Her partner leaves her, her mother dies, and Karla learns she has a sister in Alaska she never knew. She takes a leave of absence from her job as an ER nurse in Atlanta and heads to the far north, seeking answers and adventure. She finds all that and more when she crosses paths with a sexy bush pilot who opens her eyes to new possibilities. But can she open her heart as well and learn to trust again? Members Reviews: A complex enemies to lovers lesbian romance novel What did you love best about Breaking the Ice? It deals with difficult themes like grief and hereditary disease but still delivers a satisfying romance. Who was your favorite character and why? Bryson is not your typical lesfic lead, but everything about her is interesting and wonderful. She loves her cabin without running water or TV/internet, shes a woman in a typically male dominated profession, and shes a perfect blend of pragmatic and kind. Which character as performed by Kim Baldwin was your favorite? I didn't have a favourite. She did a great job with all of them. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I wouldn't say I laughed or cried, but I enjoyed it very much and had a hard time pausing it. Any additional comments? If youve ever talked to me about lesfic or taken a peek at my Goodreads shelves, itll be no surprise to you that Im a huge fan of Kim Baldwins books, and Breaking the Ice is one of my very favourites. I love her Alaska books because she perfectly balances action with romance, giving enough detail that I can imagine the setting, but not so much that I get bored. How she does it, I dont know, but I admire it every time I pick up one of her books. I received a free copy from the publisher for an honest review at The Lesbian Review. My Hat's Off to Kim Baldwin Over the past few years, it seems that every romance I read has left me disappointed and uninterested, until listening to this one. For the first time in ages, I was listening to a romance with characters that not only held my attention, but that I can picture so fully, it is hard to believe they are not people I know. From the first description of Bryson, her association with the wild elements around her, turned her into a romantic hero who drew me like a magnet, from the first chapter to the last. I won't rehash the story line, but it is well worth the price, and fascinates on so many levels, I cannot recommend it to you highly enough. One thing I personally connected with and followed closely throughout the book was the serious health problem that loomed over the lives of some of the characters.

Only Love Audiobook by Garrett Leigh

Title: Only Love Author: Garrett Leigh Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 04-15-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The diagnosis of a chronic stomach condition leaves 32-year-old Sergeant Jed Cooper with little choice but to call time on his Army career. Then on the dusty streets of Kirkuk, an ambush gone tragically wrong decimates his team, and he returns to the US with a shattered leg and the memory of his best friend dying in his arms. Life in his sleepy hometown proves intolerable until he finds solace in a lakeside cabin with vivacious young carpenter, Max O'Dair. In the shadow of the epilepsy that periodically plagues Max, he and Jed form an unspoken bond. After a late night episode, Jed realizes how much Max means to him, and life has taught him not to waste time. But the lines between contentment and complacency are blurred. Things left hidden resurface to tear through their world, and before they can repair the damage, death comes to call again. Faces, past and present, rally around them to weather the storm, but before long, they are left with only love. Members Reviews: Very well written and narrated. As a vet of Iraq this story was well written. The author knew all the nuances of American military life and did a great job of brining it to the listener. Nice slow burn I really enjoyed this military hurt/comfort read. Ms Leigh is a really talented writer and this is a really good story. Be warned it has some horrific war scenes and a lot of flashbacks. Sometimes it made it hard to tell whether something was a flashback or present day. But not too bad. It only lost a star because it was REALLY slow for me and a lot of men not expressing their feelings to each other, just in their heads. I'm not a fan of that; I like feelings being expressed verbally to the person you are suppose to love. But if are a fan of the slow burn, you will really like it. The narrator does a great job and has a little more diversity in his voices than other books I've listened to by him. All in all worth a credit. Enjoyable... Enjoyed this story and the writing techniques of Garrett Leigh. The narrator did a great job bringing this story to life. The angst in the story is profound and the reader sympathizes with the characters but perhaps there was too much inner turmoil. Maybe not. I guess it depends on everyone's preferences...for me, just a bit long in certain points in the book...but it didn't deter me from enjoying the story. (Listened 5/14/15) Who am I, if not a soldier? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I would. Leigh is an amazing writer that has this uncanny ability to write damaged and broken characters, sometimes the dregs of society, and give them their own kind of happy ever after. In addition to that Stellman is a truly talented narrator that did an amazing job bringing these two broken men to life. Who was your favorite character and why? I'd have to say Jed. I thought the way he was written and portrayed was very convincing. Which character as performed by Michael Stellman was your favorite? Again, Jed. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Several actually. I think my favorite moments were the times when Jed and Max helped each other through something painful. The way, at different times, each of them were a shoulder for the other when nothing or no one else could help. Any additional comments? As I stated above, Leigh has this knack for writing characters that are flawed, broken, imperfect and sometimes even seemingly a lost cause.

Crime Wave Audiobook by Adam Carpenter

Title: Crime Wave Author: Adam Carpenter Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-07-16 Publisher: Linden Corners Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jimmy McSwain returns to help his sister's boyfriend fight a murder charge - and finds he may just have a lead on a cold case. Hell's Kitchen private investigator Jimmy McSwain returns in a twisting tale of past sins and present-day vengeance. Jimmy McSwain isn't thrilled about taking a case for free - but when his sister fears her boyfriend, Rocky, is cheating on her, he has no choice. But the case takes a deadly turn when Rocky is standing over the body of a man he was just seen kissing, and he's holding the gun. He begs Jimmy to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, as a sweltering heat wave claims New York City, a gunman with a thirst for blood is targeting Manhattan deli owners and has already claimed two victims. Jimmy knows a thing or two about those - 14 years ago his father was killed outside a deli, and it's possible today's killer could be linked to that unsolved murder, one that continues to haunt Jimmy. Enlisting the aid of sexy NYPD Captain Francis X. Frisano, Jimmy finds himself torn between the two cases, as well as the heat simmering between himself and the hot cop. Suddenly a quiet summer has erupted into a full blown crime wave. Members Reviews: 4.5 stars!!!! If you could sum up Crime Wave in three words, what would they be? u-maz-ing. :) Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes!!! Any additional comments? I was provided a complimentary copy of the audio in exchange for an honest review. I am becoming obsessed with this series! I was extremely fortunate to be provided a complimentary audio copy of Book 1 Hidden Identity, and it was really, really good! Book 1 wasn't a romance; it focused on the mystery aspect but there was romance (sex) in it. Crime Wave, which is book 2, hints that Jimmy McSwain and "sexy NYPD Captain Francis X. Frisano" have a romance. They certainly have a spark of something. But Jimmy has sworn to never fall for a cop, and Frank can't be a publically out gay man and still fulfill his cop career dreams. I have to say that Joel Leslie's narration was PERFECT!! He is able to give the characters their own voice [I will admit that some of the characters sounded alike but that was ok (hide spoiler)] and I knew when it was Jimmy speaking, when it was Frank speaking, or when it was "Terry Cloth" speaking. ;) I particularly thought Joel's ability to express the characters emotions - be those anger, fear or lust - was simply amazing. I am still new to the audio world and I've not come across any other narrators who put so much emotion into the written word. I felt these characters come alive, and when Jimmy becomes involved in yet another murder, I was rooting for him to solve it and to also find love. Crime Wave is very different from Hidden Identity. I will admit that I had figured out who the killer was, but I had the motive and everything else related to the murder case completely wrong. I was surprised, which is always cool in a mystery. This one has a twist I really didn't see coming. Jimmy is begged by his sister to spy on her boyfriend, Rocky, because she thinks he's cheating on her. He is, Jimmy finds this out, but it's not with a woman; he's with a man - and is in fact in love with this other man. But as Jimmy is working his case, Rocky's lover is killed and Rocky arrested for it. Jimmy knows Rocky didn't kill his lover and is determined to prove it.

Having created an environment where he's feared and admired by his classmates, Kevin finds pleasure in using his good looks and violence to control and manipulate those around him. Secretly he cruises the gay club scene, turning tricks to earn money so he can party and get high. As Rick's dad becomes increasingly violent and abusive at home, the two form a surprising and volatile trust. In this battle of wills, their precarious friendship will either keep their lives from blowing up around them or possibly light the fuse that will cause the explosion. Disclaimer: This audiobook contains extremely strong language, graphic violence, and sexual situations. It is not suitable for young audiences. Members Reviews: Powerful and Heart wrenching... What a powerful story and a powerful message! Not wanting to share too much and spoil the essence of this story, I'll just say that the author's ability to describe the emotional quagmire that exists in certain environments brought back some painful memories and fed into my desire for obtaining a happily ever after. Though the ending was not how I had hoped, it fit with the message of this story. The writing techniques of PT Denys and the expert narration provided by Bryant Sullivan made 11 plus hours fly by. A definite recommend... Wow... This Book Took My Breath Away This was a depressing book. Good but depressing. It just reminds you that their really is some crazy people out there in this world. I have to listen to a happy story after this one, to help balance my world view. Amazing What did you love best about Violence Begets...? The characters draw you in from the very beginning. My heart broke over and over throughout the book. What did you like best about this story? It is heart wrenching and you find yourself wanting to fight for the characters. Any additional comments? This is a real tear jerker! Absolutely loved it! loved it!! this definitely kept me enthralled, just wish the ending could have gone a different way I hate you Said with love. But I still hate you. Love your hateful reader. When's the next book?

This is a steamy, short gay romance M/M novel. If you are looking for a full-length novel, please do not purchase this book. Members Reviews: 3 stars It was quick, it was hot and it had a few missing words (nothing major). While I have never experienced this, I was always under the impression that lube was your friend when it comes to anal. No lube to be found here... OUCH! ***** POV... third person Standalone or series... quick standalone Did it give me a hangover... no Would I recommend it... if reading of free, sure Would I read it again... maybe The Priest and Me Hot hot hot. What a great story. This story was written so well I wonder if this really happens. Jamie's writing has got me. So well written he writes his stories like he is right there. Temptation vs Need/Want....Which way would you go? Father Gregory, a Catholic Priest, was destined to live a life of loneliness. He constantly fought his thoughts and temptations of wanting to enjoy another man. He was still a virgin and knew he was gay from early on, but he knew he could not act on any of this no matter how much he wanted to. Then Owen, a beautiful man, who Father Gregory had seen at mass, came to confessional one day and admitted to his obsession to another man. As he talked, Father Gregory knew he was talking about him and Owen admitted to it. He was Owen's obsession. When confession was over Owen left without Father Gregory not even knowing his name. That night Owen shows up at his window. Temptation has never been so strong for the Father. What does he do now? He knew what he should do, but fate sometimes seems to change the path. Jamie inputs the right amount of drama and emotion as well as Hot, Hot Sex. These real life characters are so believable, you know exactly what they are going through. If you enjoy MM Hot Romance, you will love this. This short story has everything that Jamie does best.

When an unknown threat intrudes on his peaceful life, he's sent with the general of a neighboring army on a quest to find answers, and maybe even save his people. Members Reviews: I must say I love the slow build up in romance between the characters The authors did an outstanding job building the world in which these characters live in. Olix and Tayrd are both princes from neighboring kingdoms. Prince Olix is physically big and strong and was sent to assist in protecting the prince Tayrd's kingdom. Tayrd is smaller in size but gifted in magic. He at times comes off snobbish but you can feel the attraction growing between the characters. I must say I love the slow build up in romance between the characters. It's sweet to read the interaction between these two men. They bicker back and forth but also have each other's backs when trouble strikes. This is only part one in this series and I cannot wait to see what happens next. There was so many unanswered questions that leave me guessing what is really going on in Fyrnli Valley. It recommend this book to readers looking for a bubbling romance with a bit of mystery. Great read! I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Maxfield Narrator: JP Handler Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 08-14-14 Publisher: Lauralyn Thompson Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 109 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A retired marine, Logan is methodical and conservative. Richard is a liberal pacifist who is pathologically afraid of guns. Yet the minute Logan sets eyes on Richard, his heart turns over like an old car engine, and it isn't long before his motor is revved and Richard is in the driver's seat - even if it seems like each man is driving a different car. Richard Hunter is parenting his grandson, and the kid - Nick - has had it rough. Richard vows nothing will stop him from creating a loving and stable home. Not even a tempting, red-hot relationship with a very attractive man. However, when Richard looks into Logan's blue eyes, it's tough to stay focused. It's never easy to become a family, what with a temperamental eight-year-old, disapproving outsiders, and outright extortion attempts. But when push comes to shove, both Logan and Richard are committed family men who want to make a loving home for a little boy who needs them. Together, they're planning to form a Family Unit, and they won't let anything stand in their way. Members Reviews: I loved that the characters were real I'm not an overly huge fan of audio book in that, if given a choice, I'd rather read a book that listen. That being said, there are times that I can't read so I'd rather listen than miss the experience altogether. Driving is one of those times. I work in varying locations with different length commutes. But usually I'm driving 30-60 mins each way a few times a week. So this can be 6 hours of 'reading' time. Some audio books I've loved, others I've enjoyed, a couple I've hated. Sometimes it's the story and sometimes it's the narration and sometimes it's hard to separate the two. The narration was good. I liked the accents, inflections and the general voicing of the characters. At parts it was a little slow but I think that's more a factor of the level of description in a book that sometime just doesn't translate perfectly into a slower narration - when you speed read, it doesn't slow things down, but it can when listening to a book being narrated at a nice, even pace. Anyway, the overall narration was good and didn't detract from the story. I liked the interpretation of the characters and could picture them in my head. They sounded just like I thought they should. But what really stood out for me was the story itself. And the highlight? It was the older characters - Richard was a grandfather (admittedly a young one) I loved to see an older man who'd maybe made some mistakes in his youth and eventually sacrificed so much of his own life, get his own man. His man is hot - ex-military and a wonderful guy. Together - perfect! These guys are so realistic. They aren't necessary toned and terrific. They shows the signs of their age and the life they've lead. They make mistakes, they argue a bit - they are real. And the age adds a lovely touch of humour.

His job in London takes all his energy and commitment. When he goes to Cornwall to stay with his terminally ill uncle, Edwin, love is the last thing Leo expects to find. Tris lives in a cottage on Edwin's land. Gay, but still half in the closet, he and Leo bond over their affection for Edwin, and the pull of attraction between them proves too strong to ignore. In Tris's arms, in the wilds of Cornwall, Leo finds a peace he'd forgotten existed. On his return to London, Leo finds himself grieving for more than just the loss of his uncle. When some unexpected news gives Leo the chance to return to Cornwall, he's afraid it will be too late to rekindle things with Tris. But having learned much from his stay with his uncle, Leo doesn't want to look back and wish he'd done things differently. It's time to seize the day - if it's not already too late. Members Reviews: Nice comfort listen This is a wonderfully sweet romance with some sadness mixed in. Leo is a 40 year old workaholic who visits his beloved elderly uncle who is dying. There he meets Tris who is picking up his life after his breaks up. Leo's uncle makes some family revelations that causes Leo to question his choices. The story is sweet and poignant. It has a little angst and a tear jerk moments in the telling of his uncle's story and life. The narrator does a great job in bringing all these men to life. It is always great when a British narrator performs a book based in England. Overall a good comfort listen. Edwin's story just as great as Leo's Leo temporarily moves to Cornwall to spend time with his dying uncle. While there he meets Tris, a closeted gardener who is renting a house from Edwin, Leos uncle. The premise of this story is simple: boy meets boy, boy kisses boy, boy loves boy, boy leaves boy, boy misses boy, boy returns to boy. But. There is way more to this story. Each of the men in this story has a history they need to wrestle with in order to become the happiest they can. Tris needs to come out of the closet, forgive himself for his divorce and for deceiving himself and his family for so many years. Leo needs to realize that he is more than his job and that happiness cannot be found working 80 hours a week. Edwin, probably the most touching story of all, gets to finally tell his story and embrace the life he couldnt for all these years. ** On the one hand this story has very little angst for our two MCs. Their love story moves fairly quickly and without a lot of drama. What I loved about this book was Edwins story. Its both heartbreaking yet romantic and sweet at the same time. I loved how his love helped Leo and Tris appreciate what they have (or could lose). He was an amazing character. All in all this was another very well written story by one of my favorite authors, Jay Northcote, who consistently gives us wonderful, well-formed, three-dimensional characters and a tender and sweet love for them to find. Audio Matthew Lloyd Davies narrates a lot of Jays books because of his lovely English accents. Everyone has a very distinct sound including the nurse! Its a great way to experience these books and really immerses you in the story. An okay story I bought this book because I loved Law of Attraction but this was just okay. Great book to make you think This is an EXCELLENT book by Jay.

Title: A Sinner Born Subtitle: Brooklyn Sinners, Book 3 Author: Avril Ashton Narrator: Renard Pasquale Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 02-18-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 97 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Syren Rua is at war. He battles painful childhood demons and his intense need for the first person who makes him feel. As Faro, Syren makes deals with the worst while taking the steps necessary to bring his familys killer to justice. He isnt one to indulge in selfish needs, but hell make the time in this instance. Syren has been watching Kane Ashby, craving the grieving man for his own. Hes always stayed away from temptation, but thats about to change. Kane isnt over the death of his longtime partner. Hes certainly not ready for a relationship, sexual or otherwise, but Syren isnt a man who takes no for an answer. The unpredictable Syren offers nothing but secrets and brings with him memories so dark, they could wipe out any chance the two might ever have. Syren brings Kanes heart back to life. But it is also Syren who could inflict the most damage. Inside Scoop: One of our heroes has a panty fetish. And its hot. This book also contains brief references to rape and child abuse. Members Reviews: Hanibal Lecter is not sexy to me! Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Overall, I enjoyed most of this installment in the Brooklyn Sinner's Series but the narrator's portrayal of Syren was not to my liking. Sounding like Hanibal Lecter isn't sexy to me and it pulled me from the story. Syren is supposed to be sensual not creepy. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I enjoyed seeing the MC's from the previous books books quite a bit. I found that there were many plot holes and "the big misunderstanding" in this book was annoying as hell. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Renard Pasquale? I have enjoyed Renard Parsquale's narrations in all of the Brooklyn Sinner books, just not his voice of Syren. I would keep Renard and beg him to give Syren a new voice. Woah! FYI: This is m/m romance.. and graphic violence... It's a gang member/cop romance... so be warned! Ok... Out of all the books in this series... This one always makes me cry!!!! I feel so bad for Syren and Kane... for different reasons of course..but still!!! Syren is Farrow, which we learned at the end of book 1... but his backstory was simply sad and outrageous! Plus Syren as Farrow... dang he is still suffering!!! I really liked Kane, but I after a while I just wanted him to give in..but he was so hung up over his last lover.. C'mon already... it's been 3 years! Loved the ending... Great buy/credit/sale Narration, yet again...superb! Syren's voice was bad. i do wish I read this one rather than listen to it. The story was good but the narrator's voice for Syren was not enjoyable. This story featured Syren Rua (the man with many identities) and his quest for revenge and reclamation of his true self. We learned in the prior books that Syren was working as a double/triple agent against his employer, Ricardo De la Torre, who murdered his family and sold him to slavery. As Syren worked as Faro, he had come into contact with Federal Agent Kane Ashby (brother of Gabe Ashby). Kane was still mending from the death of his partner. But the both of them shared an attraction that they couldnt deny.

Can Sean come to terms with his past and present to move into the future? Or will his dream of love end before it starts? Critic Reviews: "[A] charming and moving novel with some suspense mixed in." (Romance Junkies) "The writing is really very good and I really liked the characters." (Rainbow Reviews) Members Reviews: Andrew Grey has done it again! I have read two other Andrew Grey novels and I thoroughly enjoyed them. This is no exception. He masterfully mixes a touching story with very real-to-life experiences (both in and out of the bedroom). Just as his other novels have done, he doesn't create an impossible situation or tear anyone down. The story is not overly complicated and is very easy to follow. Also, the main characters are fully fleshed out and are the kind of people I would very much like to meet. His books make me want to be a better person! My only complaint is that I fell in love with R. Kirstein's deep timbre reading of the other books. That does not mean that Jeremy Klavens' narration was lacking in any way. I can't wait to listen to the next one in the series! Three Cheers for Something Better This book made me smile. The reader is wonderful and the story had real depth to it. It wasn't just about sex. I've noticed that a lot of the gay/lesbian genre available on audible presents stories more focused on sex or scandal. I was thrilled because this is a sweet story about the characters and about love. Grey presents wholesome relatable characters that you will grow to love. Bottle Up isn't perfect, but it's fun to listen to and closer to what I'd imagine a male/male relationship is really like. It feels real to me. I suggested the book to a dear friend of mine who is a gay male and he enjoyed the story as well and agreed it felt real unlike most in the genre. Grey writes some of the best gay romance on audible. I highly recommend him. Liked it! This is a relatively quick story made quicker by the narrator. I've found that the narrator can really make or break the book and Jeremy Klavens almost blew this one. If I had to give him any advice it would be to slow it down a bit and add a little more expression. I liked the story. I don't expect perfection and this one has its flaws but they are easy to overlook. I would recommend this one. HOOKED ON THIS BOOK! This is one of those books that just grabs your attention and holds it. I found myself delaying other things I needed to do so I could finish the next chapter. The book is extremely well written.

The Burnt Toast B&B: A Bluewater Bay Novel Audiobook by Heidi Belleau, Rachel Haimowitz

Title: The Burnt Toast B&B: A Bluewater Bay Novel Author: Heidi Belleau, Rachel Haimowitz Narrator: Dorian Bane, Tobias Silversmith Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: After breaking his arm on set, Wolf's Landing stuntman Ginsberg Sloan finds himself temporarily out of work. Luckily, Bluewater Bay's worst B&B has cheap long-term rates, and Ginsberg's not too proud to take advantage of them. Derrick Richards, a grizzled laid-off logger, inherited the B&B after his parents' untimely deaths. Making beds and cooking sunny-side-up eggs is hardly Derrick's idea of a man's way to make a living, but just as he's decided to shut the place down, Ginsberg shows up on his doorstep, pitiful and soaking wet, and Derrick can hardly send him packing. Not outright, at least. The plan? Carry on the B&B's tradition of terrible customer service and even worse food until the pampered city boy leaves voluntarily. What Derrick doesn't count on, though, is that the lousier he gets at hosting, the more he convinces bored busybody Ginsberg to try to get the B&B back on track. And he definitely doesn't count on the growing attraction between them, or how much more he learns from Ginsberg than how to put out kitchen fires. Bluewater Bay stories can be read or listened to in any order - jump in wherever you'd like! Members Reviews: quirky fun with dual narrators! I love it when a book surprises you, and this definitely did! What better way to make someone confront their gender issues than make them attracted to someone who is transgender! Excellent plot device! Ginsberg thinks bottoming is not masculine. He thinks cooking and cleaning is not masculine. So his job, his sexuality, his desires all not masculine so he hates himself and his life. The dialog is great, the emotions are really poignant without being uncomfortable, and I (for one) learned some things about being transgender. The storyline is not typical in that it covers a less often discussed part of LGBTQ transgender. Its quirky and sometimes dark and painful. Though we have seen storylines where gay men who hate themselves, I havent seen it quite this fiercely before. Anyhow, when our MCs do finally connect physically, its amazing and awkward and funny and tender again not your typical hot and horny man on man action. (I, for one, would have liked to see some more of this if only to really emphasize how love and sex are unique to each couple and not constrained by societys normal. I love the bonus hole! and wish it could have seen more action ;) All in all I thought it was a great book, a lovely continuation of the Bluewater Bay Storyline (we get to see some of the old characters like Eli and Carter), and a really nice look at subjects not normally seen. 4.5 of 5 stars Audio I love dual narrations! Though they didnt do a strict duo there are times when Dorian has to do both MCs as well as Tobias, but they separate them by POV. Dorian has this great deep western feeling voice that matches Derrick superbly and Tobias higher, more feminine but still very masculine voice and pacing is wonderful for Ginsberg. I really loved listening to these guys take turns and highly recommend this as a way to enjoy this story. 4.5 of 5 stars Sweet story with trans MC This is a hard book to review. I am generally not a fan of dual narrations, but these were two great narrators, so I thought I'd give it a try. It didn't work out for me.

Outing the Quarterback Audiobook by Tara Lain

Title: Outing the Quarterback Author: Tara Lain Narrator: John-Paul Barrel Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Novel in the Long Pass Chronicles Will Ashford lives in two closets. He meets his wealthy father's goals as both the quarterback for the famous SCU football team and a business major, but secretly he attends art school and longs to live as a painter. And he's gay. But if he can win the coveted Milton Scholarship for art, he'll be able to break from his father at the end of his senior year. In a painting master class, Will meets his divergent opposite, Noah Zajack. A scarred orphan who's slept on park benches and eaten from trash cans, Noah carefully plans his life and multiple jobs so he has money and time to go to art school. Will's problems seem like nothing compared to Noah's. Noah wants the scholarship too and may have a way to get it, since the teacher of his class has designs on him--a plan about which Will isn't happy. Members Reviews: Not the best narrator Will is in his last year of business school (to satisfy Daddy) playing the straight, star quarterback for SCU. What he really wants is to be a gay painter, but he cant afford to be honest with either his sexuality or his preferred profession. His goal is to win a scholarship for next year and be honest then. Noah is an out and proud artist, working 3 jobs to pay tuition, hoping for the same scholarship Will is after because hes so broke hes having a hard time paying the bills. In the meantime hes having an affair with his teacher, who is also a judge for the scholarship. So you can guess what happens. Will and Noah meet. They start a relationship. Noah and his professor end their relationship (this isnt taken well by the prof.). Will gets outed by the media. Noah loses the scholarship (sort of) due to sour grapes. Will and Noah make a go of it and with some razzle dazzle Noah ends up with a scholarship, Will ends up in art school and we get a really lovely HEA. ** Im a huge Tara Lain fan and this book just sort of underwhelmed me. It took several starts for me to finish, I just wasnt swept overboard by any of the elements. The attraction between Will and Noah wasnt spectacular. The storyline was predictable, which can be fine if there are other things to hook you in, but I just didnt feel any zing with this story. I really liked the secondary characters, Jamal and his sister Ev, and am excited to read Jamals story in the next installment, however. I thought the writing was excellent, it was edited well, and of course I loved the happy ending, but overall, I just wasnt wowed. Audio John-Paul Barrel is a new narrator to me. I really appreciated that he tried to differentiate each person with a unique voice. Some of the voices were better than others. I didnt care much for his intonation and emotionality (acting) and didnt like his overall narrator voice much. For me, unfortunately, it detracted from the overall listening experience. Writing/Editing 5 Romance 3 Sex/Heat 3 Storyline 3 World Building/Characterizations 4 Audio 2 Overall 3.3 of 5 stars Good story, not a good narrator I don't know what entails getting a narrator but I'm guessing it's not hearing them read something. He read the whole book with this dramatic voice. A bad acting dramatic voice. If you can get past that, it's a good story. Great Story about being in the Closet This was an awesome book. I really had a hard time putting this one down.

Cards on the Table Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: Cards on the Table Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-14 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Fifty years ago, a glamorous Hollywood party ended in murder - the only clue a bloody Tarot card. Timothy North is trying to find out what happened that long ago summer's night, but when a Tarot card turns up pinned to his front door, the only person Tim can turn to for help is his ex-lover, Detective Jack Brady. Note: This novella contains scenes of gay erotic content. Members Reviews: Vintage Lanyon Any additional comments? A nice tight little mystery about a 50-year old Hollywood cold case. In addition to delighting in some very colorful secondary characters, I loved both main characters. Especially Tim, a writer whose perception of his own limitations almost hold him back from a meaningful connection with his policeman neighbor Jack. This would have been all the better had it been a full-length novel. It certainly had the foundation for "more". Lanyon's wonderful shorts always end too soon. The fabulous Sean Crisden narrated. Highly recommended. Absolute fabulous audio to listen to while working What made the experience of listening to Cards on the Table the most enjoyable? The relationship between Tim and Jack. I love how Mr. Lanyon is able to bring two characters together, create just enough angst to keep your heart in 'worried mode' and then reward you with a heart stopping breather. It is now a fact that I am completely and utterly in love with Mr. Lanyon, well...I mean the characters he creates anyway. I think I have most of his books now and have been consistently reading his stories the last couple weeks and have yet to be disappointed. Oh, and when you have a great narrator, I suppose that makes for an extremely enjoyable listening experience. Which character as performed by Sean Crisden was your favorite? Tim was my favorite character because of his condition, and how he was able to handled it. I'd be living in fear everyday but he just lived his life as though he was invincible. If you could rename Cards on the Table, what would you call it? Mystery of The Tarot Card The Lady and the Tarot Card Murder by Tarot Card. <----- My moms favorite :-) Who killed Eva Aldrich? <----- My favorite LOL. I can come up with many different titles for this. The original title is good though. Any additional comments? A wonderful mystery romance, with a great performance. Definitely a recommended read or audio from me to you! Another hit by Lanyon!!! I am beginning to think that Josh Lanyon can do no wrong. I'm not kidding. I love EVERYTHING he writes. How the hell is that possible? While I ponder that one, I will continue with my review. We meet Tim, who's an author writing about a Hollywood star's 50 year old murder mystery. It's clear that someone, somewhere, isn't too keen on Tim completing his story. But while we're engrossed in the mystery of who killed the starlet, and the more recent mystery of who wants to shut Tim up, we're also trying to figure out what issue plagues Tim. It's clear that there's chemistry between Det. Jack and Tim, so why aren't they getting their 'love' on. Well, I won't spoil it for you, but I do have to say that once we're told, it made me question how I would have reacted to being faced with such a situation. Both Tim and Jack were likable characters, and I have a thing with all of Lanyon's 'flawed' characters (ie.

Point of Dreams: A Novel of Astreiant Audiobook by Melissa Scott, Lisa A. Barnett

Title: Point of Dreams: A Novel of Astreiant Subtitle: Astreiant, Book 2 Author: Melissa Scott, Lisa A. Barnett Narrator: Mark Mullaney Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 08-15-14 Publisher: Lethe Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The city of Astreiant has gone crazy with enthusiasm for a new play, The Drowned Island, a lurid farrago of melodrama and innuendo. Pointsman Nicolas Rathe is not amused, however, at a real dead body on stage and must investigate. A string of murders follow, perhaps related to the politically important masque that is to play on that same stage. Rathe must once again recruit the help of his lover, former soldier Philip Eslingen, whose knowledge of actors and the stage, and of the depths of human perversity and violence, blends well with Rathe's own hard-won experience with human greed and magical mayhem. Their task is complicated by the season, for it is the time of year when the spirits of the dead haunt the city and influence everyone, and also by the change in their relationship when the loss of Philip's job forces him to move in with Nicolas. Mystery, political intrigue, floral magic, astrology, and romance - both theatrical and personal - combine to make this a compelling listen. A winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best LGBT Speculative Fiction! Show Less. Members Reviews: Exciting from start to finish! Would you listen to Point of Dreams: A Novel of Astreiant again? Why? From what I understand this is only one of many books written by the authors that follow the same two protagonists and exist in the same universe. This book stands alone just fine I had not read the first and was able to follow the plot and characters just fine. After reading this book I am very interested in seeing what other mysterys/debacles these two found themselves in (and these prior cases are occasionally referenced). What was one of the most memorable moments of Point of Dreams: A Novel of Astreiant? I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, but there was a confrontation between the main characters and the villain towards the end that was particularly exciting to listen to and experience. It's a mystery, after all...I don't want to give it away!! What does Mark Mullaney bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It made the story more exciting to hear it told in the different voices of many characters; I counted more than 40 characters in this book and it felt like each of them had a unique voice and personality. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I loved the dry humor in the story and I found myself chuckling while listening to certain parts. The subtlety of this book, though, is really one of its strong points. Any additional comments? The book is basically one part classic full-of-detail murder mystery, one part character driven, and one small part steampunk/sci-fi. I love this book, disappointing performance Melissa Scott is one of my favorite authors, but I don't like this narrator. He's especially bad at women's voices and his accent sounds fake.

Quinn Narrator: Stella Bloom Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 104 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It should have been simple, but life has a way of getting complicated. When correspondent Tate McKenna broke her own rules and took navy pilot Lieutenant Commander Evan Kane home from an embassy dinner in Bahrain, she knew all the reasons why it wouldn't work. Long, unpredictable work hours. Extended absences. The dangers inherent in their jobs. Yet after being with Evan once, it was inconceivable she wouldn't be with her again. When they finally have a chance to get things right, danger follows them home from Afghanistan. Now, Tate and Evan must stand together in a show of force or risk losing everything - including their lives. Members Reviews: Story was good, Narrator was AWFUL If you could sum up Show of Force in three words, what would they be? Interesting. Sweet. Fun. What did you like best about this story? That no one had to get hurt for the two main characters to realize how much they love each other. How did the narrator detract from the book? Her voice was very breathy, and the pace was so frantic regardless of what was actually going on. Tate continually sounded like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, even when all she was doing was walking across the room! Any additional comments? Again, the pace of the narrator was just ridiculous. Good thing I enjoyed the story, because listening to this reader was painful. meh. it was ok. lagged a few times. big buildup. short, too fast pay off ref villain. romance was good. Suspenseful romantic adventure. I like a tough hero. Both women are heroes. This book was a bit scary, but a good read. Ver good. This was a great story-wasn't my favorite narrator, though. It did keep me interested to the end. awesome I love this book! This is a great story and was told so well. I loved it!

Title: Going Up Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Paul Woodson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 02-27-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 141 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Every dreary day, Zach Driscoll takes the elevator from the penthouse apartment of his father's building to his coldly charmed life where being a union lawyer instead of a corporate lawyer is an act of rebellion. Every day, that is, until the day the elevator breaks and Sean Mallory practically runs into his arms. Substitute teacher Sean Mallory is everything Zach is not - poor, happy, and goofily charming. With a disarming smile and a penchant for drama, Sean laughs his way into Zach's heart one elevator ride at a time. Zach would love to get to know Sean better, but first he needs the courage to leave his ivory tower and face a relationship that doesn't end at the "Ding!" Members Reviews: Going Up Would you listen to Going Up again? Why? Yes, it was a fun and happy book. It had a Happy Ever After ending that I like. Who was your favorite character and why? The lead character and his love interest. What does Paul Woodson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The enthusiasm for life and change. The fun of learning how to be a friend and lover. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Learning to live. Any additional comments? This was a really fun book and I have listened to it several times. Paul/Philip is ACES in this! Zach is thirty-something. Hes a union lawyer living in a high rise owned by his father. Hes gay but only the rent boys he frequents knows that about him. Hes socially awkward and shy and hes lonely. Very lonely. Sean is a substitute teacher also living in a high rise, but hes got 5 roommates! Hes colorful, quirky, out-going and spontaneous. He sometimes dates, but mostly works trying to make ends meet. They meet when the express elevator breaks down and Zach is forced onto the regular elevator that runs for those not in the pent-house. Zach is enthralled by Sean. Sean is color in Zachs black and white world. Heat to his cold, chaos to his order. Over a year these two meet for thirty seconds of dating on the elevator. It takes a lot of effort. If Zach is too early or late hell never catch a glimpse of Sean and he has to ride Seans elevator which isnt his norm. In fact he gets a bit conflicted when he makes friends with Jace and Quent (yay!) who also ride the express elevator so he splits his time between the two elevators. But he doesnt approach Sean for more. Sean has to invite Zach over for a party for the two to actually start something real. Zach sees Sean as his knight in shining armor, come to rescue him from his tower of loneliness and bring him to the land of the loving. Fortunately, Sean is a knight in shining armor and he does and its wonderful! ** This story is quirky, funny, sweet, tender and heart-breaking. My heart broke for the inner dialog in Zachs head. Hes so lonely and feels so useless. Sean is his polar opposite and they mesh so beautifully together. I love Amys light fare, because she always gives us at least a taste of the angst, but without the horrible separation/death/bad decision making/curse that the heavier stuff includes. The chemistry is pretty hot, but mostly its tender and touching. Sean isnt a perfect model of a man, but hes absolutely worshipped by Zach. Zach who probably fits that model definition to a T but hes so broken on the inside. The secondary characters are superb.

It's a fast-lane life of danger and excitement. John loves every minute of it, but he's facing one big problem now: his feelings for Mike have flared up from friendship into a passion he can no longer hide. And Mike, although the bravest and best of partners, doesn't feel the same. Their one sexual encounter leaves them baffled and alienated from one another. Mike is a haunted man, shaken by flashbacks to his past life as an MI5 agent and a mission in Russia that went terribly wrong. He's been left with a need for violence between the sheets, and John isn't prepared to hurt him. Not everyone has Mike's best interests at heart. Their ruthless boss hires a ghost from Mike's past to help track down a Russian war criminal who's planted a nuclear device in the heart of London. Anzhel Mattvei knows all of Mike's dark secrets, and soon regains his former sexual thralldom over him, leaving Mike locked in battle for his will and his soul. Anzhel has turned Mike into a human detonation device. Only John's love can pull him back from the brink - and save millions of lives in the fallout zone. Members Reviews: If you have a free credit..get this...it's ok... you have to get past the coldness of the narrator, and his British accent which does not add to the story at all, but if you have a credit to use, I liked this one once I got into it. I don't know what happened to the second book in the series but I had to return it. Could not get half way thru, didn't care if I finished it, and goodness knows I tried...I tried for hours of repeat...what a disappointment. listen to in a day not only did it have a great story line to it, and get me listening to book 2 in the series as soon as book one finished ( which I listen to in a day while I worked). but the narrator is one of the best I've listened to, to date! he is excellent at individual accents and can switch between the characters so fluidly that is almost like having a narrator and cast. certainly going to be hunting out other books he's the narrator of.

Just when I think I have a handle on her writing style she throws me another character and storyline that seems to come out of the blue and rides that line of over the top and unbelievable, yet it still works and leaves me feeling fulfilled. Raven and Dennis came from two very different backgrounds and yet they were both struggling with the same basic issue, pleasing their parents. However, the spin on this was totally different for both men. Raven had expectations to live up to in terms of honor and upholding Native American traditions. His family pressure was in the form of guilt in order to bring wealth and notoriety to the family and tribe. Raven was expected to ignore his own desires for the sake of others. It was not easy to see him suffer but at the same time, he had so many people in his corner. There was always a ray of hope lurking beneath his misery. On the other hand, Dennis was caught in a very horrible situation. Pleasing his parents was on a whole different level than Raven. There was no hope in sight and I honestly didnt know how poor Dennis survived. His parents were atrocious and just really horrible people. And other than a few people who could see his pain, Dennis had no one in his corner. This was not the storyline I ever anticipated for Dennis, but it was well done and kept me on the edge of my seat needing to know how things turned out. These men were fascinating and while their individual stories were painful to listen to at times, their romance was relatively low angst and uplifting. It was a bit hard to believe, since I truly think Dennis was not in a place for love yet, but then again, maybe he needed that love to pull him out from under his evil parents. I liked that this story took me by surprise and how well integrated all parts of the story were. The Native American culture and history, the football, the filmmaking, and Denniss struggles all worked together to give me a very entertaining listening experience. I loved the Native American History that was interspersed into this story.

Kelly pretends to her office mates that her "girlfriends" advances are perfectly normal - even as she feels her resistance to the beautiful woman melting away. The Beard is a comedy with sexy scenes and some explicit sections. Members Reviews: Defiant Mediocrity This novella contains a weak plot; broad unrealistic caricatures; a totally ridiculous core concept; yet I can't bring myself to dismiss it completely. Our main character Kathy interviews for a job with an LGBT lobbying group and despite a myriad of federal regulations that would prohibit such discrimination, she has to be a lesbian to work there. Badly needing a job she invents a girlfriend by referencing a friend of a friend that she's never spoken to. There is a nosy know-it-all employee who's sure she's posing and she wastes no opportunity to announce her views to everyone within listening distance. When Kathy's boss tells her that she will be expected to produce said girlfriend at the company Christmas party she knows she has to get creative. Anna is convinced to play the part of her paramour and the resulting events at the party are as over the top teen movie like as they are unlikely. Still there is a likable quality to this story that makes it a worthwhile listening experience.. Cute story about A LIE Would you consider the audio edition of The Beard to be better than the print version? Never read the print version What was one of the most memorable moments of The Beard? When Kelly had to bring her pretend lesbian girl friend to the Gay-Lesbian lobby office she works for in DC.

But when Caught by the boss in the ladies room having sex......Kelly thought she would loose her job....I won't tell any more What about Tillie Hoopers performance did you like? I never heard her before but she did an ok job she gave the right emotions and reactions to what ever was happening. Who was the most memorable character of The Beard and why? Sylvia the office bitch who was trying to get Kelly Any additional comments? It was a cute story about telling a lie to get a job. And we all know it's always best to be honest because lies always have a way of catching up. I got this on sale and it was a nice cute story. Not a romance or erotica, but more about Growing up and learning experiences. Funny story!!!! This was one of the funniest stories I've heard!!!! If you want a good laugh, you should definitely listen to this book!!!! The Beard is an amazing Book that makes you laugh Where does The Beard rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks very high, not as high as Radclyffe, but almost up there with a B+ book grade.

If in the process, he hurt his best friend Sol, well, he can make it up to the wolf later. Things get worse when the ghost, an old Siberian soldier, demands that Alexei give up his gay life, which Alexei fled his home country for. The young fox is resolved to send the ghost away--until his sister, left behind with their abusive parents, falls into mortal danger from which only the ghost can save her. Now Alexei must choose between living the life he risked everything to have and rescuing his beloved Caterina from death...or worse. Red Devil follows the characters from the acclaimed book Green Fairy in a brand-new adventure. Members Reviews: A fantastic modern day ghost story This audiobook exceeded my expectations, even surpassing the prior one for Green Fairy. The narrator's performance was wonderful, and really brought to life each individual character's voice and mannerisms. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the gay themes of the story, even if they're not already interested in the furry nature of the book. Master peace!! Makes me want to cry knowing there's only 1 last book please kyell gold write more let this series return Worst of Kyell Gold What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Very disappointed in this book given that Kyell Gold has written other books that are great. Any additional comments? As a fan of other Kyell Gold's books, I found this one to be very disappointing in comparison. It is very hard to get into. I found Green Fairy to be alright, not his best but still enjoyed listening. This sequel (and I use that term somewhat loosely) was dry and seemed to drag on needlessly in several points. An amazing sequel If you could sum up Red Devil in three words, what would they be? Scary, honest and bittersweet. What other book might you compare Red Devil to, and why? Best comparison would be Green Fairy, as this book is the sequel to it, it follows the same characters but from the point of view of Alexei, previously a side character, and the in depth parts about his home country are really fascinating. What about Jay Maxwells performance did you like? I love the accents he gives to characters, they all sound perfect and fit them so well, I'm glad he narrated this sequel. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I had to remind myself to sleep on multiple occasions, but I just felt so strongly for the characters I had to keep listening for another chapter or two! Any additional comments? Red Devil is an excellent sequel, it is highly recommended that you listen to/read Green Fairy first however, as otherwise you may find yourself confused at certain points, but I am also greatly looking forward to the sequel Black Angel which will be releasing next year!

If the prisoners dont kill each other, theyll die slowly and painfully from mining the poisonous drug chojal. Yet Aleron still hopes that he can escape. Only 30 Athaki guards keep the chaos of Tantoret in check, a race of aliens stronger and faster than their human charges. Most intimidating of all is the head guard, Jasak, who has his own reasons for being sent to Tantoret. Amidst the darkness and desperation, Aleron and Jasak share an unexpected attraction. An attraction neither can resist when Jasak claims Aleron as his mate to protect him. Then they discover that both guards and inmates are planning a coup, while a traitor from an enemy nation threatens the whole planet. Suddenly, escape from Tantoret isnt just Alerons dream - its a matter of survival for them both. Members Reviews: Awesome! Completely amazing! After listening, its easy to see why this book won awards. And, Jack LeFleure does a fantastic job narrating I wish hed read every book from now till the end of time! I loved it so much I visited the authors website looking for other Jasak/Aleron stories but, sadly, there arent any others as this is the first book (in what I hope will become a lengthy series). Forget the phobe reviews here and download you wont be sorry! Definite Recommendation! I bought this book in pdf form and read it in hours. I could not get it out of my head, I loved it so much that by the next day I came to an important realization. I couldn't be away from it, so I bought it here in audio format and took it to work with me. Whatever I had missed in my initial read, came across amazingly. The narrator is perfect. Ten+ delicious hours of listening and I started listening all over again. The world that the authors (Jamie Craig are two authors) build is so vivid you can hear and feel everything described. The despair, the fear, the hate, the love, the determination that the characters show is portrayed brilliantly. I recommend this as one of my top 5 best and favorite gay romance novels! you know where your going but love the ride there! If you could sum up Outcast Mine in three words, what would they be? i cannot limit this work to simple words. the story grabs your attention and will not release it till the end and then you find your self listening yet again. even though i didn't have the timeto do it i listened to the whole story in ONE DAY!!! i could not tear myself away from it!!! Who was your favorite character and why? both lead characters. they are good seperatly but together they make every scene memorable and u want to listen again and again! Which scene was your favorite? every scene is wonderful and i don't want to ruin it for anyone but if you get this the scene close to the end brought tears to my eyes and the ending is wonderful even though you don't want it to ever end!! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? yes! many!! Any additional comments? i usually go for the parnormal books and i was never much for sify but this book has me hooked!!! Delicious romance! I just finished listening to the last chapter a few minutes ago while relaxing in a bubble bath. This book was pure delicious romance. For 10 amazing hours, I was invited to enter the incredible love story of Aleron and Jasak.

Turkish is a lot like his photographs: vapid, popular, and over the top - the perfect target for James' snarky criticism, but somehow James is unable to reject the man as easily he rejects his art. Members Reviews: James Turkish Any additional comments? The more audibles Michael Stellman narrates, the more I fall in love with his voice. His voice is especially wonderful for stories like this one. Turkish wasn't a likable character at first but he slowly won me over the same way he won James over. Of course there was a bit too much sex for me, but Mr. Stellman's voice has matured so beautifully, It was impossible not to be enraptured in every part of this story. I loved how Turkish true personality presented itself with his patience for James and really enjoyed the two of them getting to know each other and falling in love. And for once, a story is written where the best friend's are not obnoxious and annoying, I honestly liked the best friend's, they were all pretty cool! This was a sweet story and Mr. Stellman's voice truly brought it to life for me. Ok I liked the premise of this one, for me it dragged, and was a bit slow. The narrator did a nice job. For me the MC James's character a bit on my nerves. He was just to crotchety and whiny, so much so it detracted from the story.

The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights Audiobook by Redfern Jon Barrett

Title: The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights Author: Redfern Jon Barrett Narrator: Fiona Thraille Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-22-15 Publisher: Lethe Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Redfern Jon Barrett's novel is a satirical romp through the lives of 20-something queer ne'er-do-wells in Wales. Caroline and her Dom live out their normal lives among the poverty, alcoholics, and street preachers of Swansea. But when Dom and his straight roommate fall in love - a passionate, secret, nonsexual love - their lives are transformed into a queer chaos of cross-dressing, gender bending, and free love. Will Dom hold on to his relationship? Can religious fundamentalists be adopted as pets? And just what are the lesbians up to? The battle between preachers and drag queens, skinheads and sex workers, boyfriend and girlfriend, is set to change the city forever in an inventive story that embraces queer life today. Members Reviews: Looking for love in unexpected places What did you love best about The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights? It's very well written, of course. It's a great look into the changing faces of love and sexuality and how one doesn't always correlate with the other. They also give a wonderful look into the edges at least of polyamoury and how it affects not only the lives of the people involved in the relationship, but the relationships around them. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights? While the actual "linear" story is quite good, there are several flash forwards as well which, while they may spoil a bit of the story, they're very effective and brought me to tears. What about Fiona Thrailles performance did you like? Excellent job! Her accent put you right in the midst of Swansea, and definitely makes you feel like you're there. She also never leaves any doubt about who is speaking, differentiating the characters effortlessly. Any additional comments? Phenomenal account of the changing face of relationships in the 21st century. Brought me to tears several times (which isn't good when you're listening while driving!). If you're not used to gender-neutral pronouns, it can be a bit distracting at first while you try to parse them, but trust me, they're there for a very good reason. Well done! Perpetually In Search of a Book This Wonderful I loved this book inimitably. Sweet and funny, complicated but clear, and narrated by one of my favorites. If I had to describe this story in one word I think it would be "unafraid". Unafraid to delve into the the spectrum of inner experiences and interactions of the characters, getting deep into the heart of sexuality, polyamory, identity and expression, while never losing sight of the inextricable ways the characters were affected by cultural pressures as current events shaped the world around them. At the same time it filled me with joy and connection, heartbreak and hope. It was a wonderful. Gay? Straight? What now?? Surprisingly enough I enjoyed this book a lot. I listened to it on a sunny day in the Peak District (no, not in South Wales) and I had a few laugh-out-loud moments. First I thought it might be one of those 'gay' books but it's not actually. The book is about this random bunch of gay and straight people, and one who can't decide. It's about friendship, love, social acceptance of homosexuality and everyday life in South Wales.

Aid comes from a surprising source: Chloe Homestead, Olivia's ex-girlfriend from 13 years ago and the only girl Olivia has ever loved. Chloe, a self-made millionaire, offers to finance and manage the shelter's repairs and operations - a gesture Olivia is in no position to refuse. Working intimately together to provide loving care to homeless animals, Olivia struggles to keep her composure in Chloe's fun and flirty presence. As Olivia's walls start to crumble, the past catches up to them. Chloe has a dark secret that she's been carrying around for 13 years. Will Chloe's secret threaten the future of the shelter and the relationship she has worked so hard to restore? This book delves into the selfless world of dogs, animals, puppies, animal shelters, philanthropy, and family. Members Reviews: Confusing This story should have been emotional powerful and moving. But all the parts that should have been emotional or dramatic were filled with whiplashing emotional and moral stances that just left me wondering what any of them were really feeling. Honestly it felt like it should have been a love story between Chloe and the brother with Olivia as the complicated emotional issue that kept them apart. Chloe even says, He made me strong and stand up for myself while your kindness and control made me weaker everyday I was with you. The big confrontations throughout the end were also bizarrely carried out. apart from the above statement Chloe basically said that Olivia never really loved her and just transfered her pity into love. And yet her love is real? She entered that confrontation like someone trying to make a stand and cut ties not someone trying to explain a difficult and hurtful time to someone she loved and was supposedly trying to win back. At every turn it was made to be Olivia's fault, everything was her fault and everyone else was just paying for her failures. And Melanie was a character that confused me as well she kept giving wildly differing advice and attitudes towards love, bisexuality, commitment, and herself. So just confused and a bit frustrated at the end of this one. don't waste a credit plz trust me the narrator is bad along w the audio quality to much background noise. you can even hear her phone vibrate n receive email. then there are massive blank audio spaces it's not the narrator taking a pause the audio just stops for long long pauses in the middle of the story with out even an announcement of a new chapter so your left wondering what's going on n wondering if you missed something. the actual story isn't good either way to much detail in some spots n not enough in others. I'm confused about all the rakey treatment talk to seems more like an advertisement than moving the story forward. I've listened to over a 100+ audio books some horrible some great but this is the first one I haven't been able to finish I finally gave up on chapter 15. plz don't waste ur time or money An enjoyable story read by a good narrator. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. I would definitely recommend this book, the story is a nice one. I really liked the characters and was pulling for them from the beginning.

Title: Michael's Awakening Subtitle: The Awakening Series, Book 1 Author: Jaclyn Osborn Narrator: Richard Banfield Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-16 Publisher: CHBB Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 68 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: One moment...that's all it takes for life as you once knew it to change irrevocably. For Michael Kingston, that moment was when he first laid eyes on Gabriel. In his life, Michael had only known darkness, leaving behind a broken shell of a man. Unspeakable memories of his childhood constantly plagued him, causing him to disconnect emotionally from the world. No one had ever shown him love; therefore, he believed that he was unworthy of it. And then everything changed. Gabriel Greyson had always been different. Growing up in a small, Bible-thumping town, his preferences for men, makeup, and fashion made him an outcast. But, with the support and love of his family, he overcame obstacles that were thrown his way and rose above the intolerance. He danced to the beat of his own glammed-out drum and refused to believe that he was anything other than ultra-fabulous. Working as a beautician, he had a job he adored and felt that everything was perfect in his life. Everything except for true love. When these two unlikely men meet, sparks fly. For the first time in Michael's life, he feels like he can overcome the darkness inside him. Gabriel gives him hope and slowly brings him out of the shadows, showing him that even the darkest of souls can be redeemed. But there are secrets that Michael keeps locked away. Michael's fear is that Gabriel will turn away from him when he discovers the truth. After all, who could ever love a beast? Members Reviews: Great performance and really good story I really enjoyed this listen. The contrast between Michael and Gabriel really worked for me. I loved the way Michael loved Gabriel. And Gabriel was just what Michael needed to start to address his brutal childhood trauma. Gabriel's character was over the top flamboyant, light drag, with a great supportive family. And Michael was super dark, alpha, attorney, introvert with PSTD. The author made them make total sense as a couple. The narrator's performance was stellar and he really brought the story and characters to life. I look forward to the next book. FELL FLAT This book had lots of potential, but because of the mediocre and sometimes juvenile dialogue it completely turned me off. first off the characters say certain things way way too much like " oh I'm such a beast" or "look at my fabulous self" the conflict in the book was a good idea but it was very superficial for me I think we spent too much time with the MC self loathing and the opportunity to make a strong solid healing book was missed, and in some parts of the dialogue I questioned if a high schooler wrote it. this book left me wanting, very shallow. The narrator did a below average job, some parts sounded like he recorded in a studio and others sound like it was in a bathroom, one point I heard something drop in the background and it scared the crap out of me because I was listening at night and I thought someone was in my house. I would say save your money on this book however, I have high hopes for the brother in the next book, maybe it will deal with a lighter subject that the author can handle. Not bad just one thing.. I did enjoy this book, and i Think it is a classical HEA story. One ting irritated me and that was the fact tha the abused MC refer to himself as a beast and tha is why noone Wants him.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-22-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When a funeral calls his friend Martin away, sunbelt resident Chris is left alone in Martin's cabin in the dead of winter - and in a blizzard to boot. When the power goes out, Chris thinks he's going to freeze to death. Luckily, Horace drops in to check on him - and then runs out after a few kisses, leaving Chris upset and feeling used. Horace does come back with explanations, but is their time together keeping each other warm enough for them see they belong together? Or are these sudden emotions the product of being snowbound? Members Reviews: Little bit sweet, Little bit moody romance. What did you love best about Snowbound in Nowhere? The connection between Chris and Horace. What other book might you compare Snowbound in Nowhere to and why? Stardust by the same Author. Characters are quite similar. What does K.C. Kelly bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His laid back, smooth voice. If you could take any character from Snowbound in Nowhere out to dinner, who would it be and why? Chris, so I could slap the stupid out of him. Any additional comments? Stranded in a blizzard at his best friends cabin, Chris is settling in for another lonely Christmas. That is until a neighbor stops by to make sure Chris is okay and gets stuck when his snowmobile wont crank. Alone by the fire, bundled up to keep warm, one thing leads to another and before long, Chris and Horace no longer need the fire to keep warm. While Chris tries to tell himself he shouldnt get involved, its hard when Horace has made up his mind that Chris is what he wants. Chris is determined to go home at the end of his supposed two week stay. But what, exactly, is he going home to? I really like the easy, laid back, husky tone of Kellys voice. It was the perfect melody to tell this story, especially for the character of Horace with his Minnesota accent, which Kelly conveyed quite well. This was a short sort of sweet, sort of moody story, a bit of a May/December romance with Chris being several years Horaces senior. There was some steam of course, and not just from the hearth. I think I knew Horace was a goner when they decorated the tree, but Grey keeps you hanging until the very end to know whether or not Chris wants to stay stranded in nowhere with his gentle giant. Love the narrator, not so much the story Chris is stranded in a blizzard. Hes been burned by love and is reluctant to get involved in a relationship anymore, but hes lonely. While stranded, Horace the neighbor helps him survive. Within a couple hours the brusque Horace and the worldly Chris have gone to bed but it freaks Horace out and he flees. Chris is a little heartbroken, but really, what did he expect from someone he knows next to nothing about? Fortunately(?), Horace returns and the two resume the relationship (if it can be called that) despite Chris misgivings. First: Horace is only 21 but acts like hes 14 at times. Hes been very sheltered and taught that gay loving is wrong (and so is masturbation, apparently). Two: They live in complete opposite parts of the country, and though I honestly couldnt tell you what Chris does for a living, Chris isnt inclined to live where its cold. Three: Chris is worried he might get his heart broken by a man who may be only picking him because hes the only one around/has ever met. After spending nearly two weeks together, the two are in love but Chris is still conflicted.

Title: Forgetting Elena Subtitle: A Novel Author: Edmund White Narrator: Ken Kliban Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Combining glittering wit, an atmosphere dense in social paranoia, and a breathtaking elegance and precision of language, White's first novel suggests a hilarious apotheosis of the comedy of manners. For, on the privileged island community where Forgetting Elena takes place, manners are everything. Or so it seems to White's excruciatingly self-conscious young narrator who desperately wants to be accepted in this world where everything from one's bathroom habits to the composition of "spontaneous" poetry is subject to rigid conventions. Members Reviews: Narrator not for me I am a big fan of Edmund White's non-fiction, and I was excited to dive into this novel. However, the narrator's style put me off, and I found it very difficult to get through this one. Unbearable narration Can't judge the writing as the narration was insufferable. I was worried when I saw his name as he ruined another book I tried to listen to. Never again. Such a shame.

Blunt Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-16 Publisher: Lily G Blunt Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A male escort takes on an inexperienced client and breaks the first rule of rent boys: don't get attached. After updating his Rent Boy blog profile, well-endowed porn star Ty receives a text from a sexually inexperienced client. Andy, the client, asks Ty to provide him with the necessary know-how so should he ever get a date with the guy he's attracted to, he'll be fully prepared. Little does Ty know that this hookup will lead to a friendship that will subsequently change his life. Members Reviews: Hot and Sweet If you could sum up Finding Love in three words, what would they be? That was unexpected! Who was your favorite character and why? Ty was my favorite character because the story was told from his point of view. You see him as not just a "rent boy" but a real person who finds love when he least expects it. Which scene was your favorite? When Andy tops Ty for the first time because I believe that is when he realizes that his feelings for Andy are changing. Who was the most memorable character of Finding Love and why? The old lady at the senior center who recognized him as a porn star and told Ty his videos were "hot"! Any additional comments? A quick, satisfying listen! Loving the love......... What made the experience of listening to Finding Love the most enjoyable? I think with a story line and finding a narrator that is perfect for a story is essential. I think Sean Crisden always on point with his stories and he makes him part of the story. It doesn't sound like he is reading it but actually living the story. Have you listened to any of Sean Crisdens other performances before? How does this one compare? I think this is as good as Acrobat..... Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wanted to but couldn't. Family expected me to actually feed them.... Any additional comments? I love Lily and Sean and think its an awesome combination..... I hope to hear more of Sean in the future. great fast read! I took off a star on the story only because i wish this was longer, it was that good of a listen. the twists that this took in such a short time were unexpected and yet fit perfectly with the flow. i can only imagine what she coukd come up with if she had more time to play around with the story line. i will have my eye out for more stories by Lily. Short and sweet A cute story about a slow growing romance between a rent boy and a college boy. The narration was great, as I have come to expect from Mr. Crisden. I will look for more from Ms. Blunt. Sweet and sexy I tend to avoid sex worker stories because so many of them involve people who turn to the work out of desperation, and not 100% freewill. That feels icky to me. I was happy to find this is not the case with Ty. He comes off as a guy who likes sex and is perfectly happy to turn it into a business. In fact, I had to chuckle a bit at him updating his advertising. Andy is a shy guy who hires Ty so he can learn what to do before he asks his crush out. Ty takes things slow, and as a result, he finds himself thinking of Andy as a friend. And eventually more than a friend. It actually was a very sweet story. For such a short book, there was a lovely slow-built to the romance. The narration was good, but then Sean Crisden always is. Lily G.

Forgiving Thayne Audiobook by J. R. Loveless

Loveless Narrator: Derrick McClain Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A True Mates novel Nicholas Cartwright has done everything in his power to forget that night six months ago in Senaka when his true mate rejected him, leaving him shattered and disillusioned. Burying himself in his work, he pushes himself to the point of exhaustion while finding the touch of another unbearable. Suddenly his mate needs his help, and he may be asking for more than Nicholas can find it in himself to give. Thayne Whitedove has always been a wanderer, spending his days on the road and his nights wrapped in the arms of whatever random hookup he meets, until a fateful mistake sends him rushing for the comforts of home. To his utter dismay, the only way to correct his error in judgment is to accept the one thing he's never wanted: his mate. Thayne must decide whether to keep running or to stay and fight for Nick's forgiveness. Members Reviews: Forgive me, but.... I really tried to like this, but I failed. Thayne and Nick were too broody and whiny for me. I hated that Nick was portrayed as weak willed and needy and hate that Thayne was too pigheaded to call his best friend and discuss something that they agreed to as youths and selfish to boot. This premise annoyed me. The same points seemed to be reiterated over and over. The story could have probably been wrapped up in half the time. The concept of ' the Created' was interesting, but not used in the best way. The narrator was okay but couldn't save it. 4 stars for the story 5 stars for the narration. Where does Forgiving Thayne rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It was quite good, I'd listen to it again. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Loved the ending, more so than the book version I think. Which character as performed by Derrick McClain was your favorite? The Chapter where they have to face the created one. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Nope. Any additional comments? e-book review Nov 2013 Thayne Whitedove is a loner, he doesnt rely on anyone but himself and pushes away anyone that threatens to get close. When he was a boy, he and his best friend and fellow shifter Dakota, found Dakotas father dead by a self inflicted gunshot wound after the mans mate had die. Thayne and Dakota swore an oath that day to never succumb to the mate bond, to never let themselves be that vulnerable because of their love and loyalty to another. So Thayne has spent his entire adult life hopping from one bed to another in a quest to quench the thirst the loneliness leaves in its wake. Hes brash, standoffish and contemptuous at best with just about everyone. When Nicholas Cartwright steam rolled his way into Thaynes life all those months ago, Thayne rejected him, rejected their bond and did what he does best, he ran. When Thaynes past and poor choices come back to haunt him, he has no choice but to accept help from the one person he hurt more than anyone, Nick. Nick is everything that Thayne is not, everything about them is a contrast of colors and personalities. Thayne is big and broad with long, dark hair and equally dark eyes that match his almost black personality. Nick is lithe and lean with dark blonde hair and mesmerizing green eyes. Hes smart, successful and committed to everyone in his life. He was the protector of his best friend Seth, Thaynes brother Kaseys husband, for many years.

Title: Cherish & Blessed Subtitle: Faith, Love, and Devotion, Book 4 Author: Tere Michaels Narrator: JP Handler Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: After several years of happy coupledom, Matt and Evan can relax in the knowledge that their little family has survived the worst of it. The two older girls are away at college, the twins have yet to fully hit teen angst, Matt is doing well with his part time security consulting, and Evan is about to be promoted to captain - it seems like things are calm and bright. Until they aren't. As the holidays approach, Evan and Matt get a shock no parent is ever prepared for: feisty Miranda, Evan's eldest, has a new boyfriend Kent, and they are talking marriage after just three months together. In fact, Miranda wants to bring him to Thanksgiving dinner - along with his parents Blake and Cornelia. Blessed: Lives are in transition as everyone gathers at the stunning Hamptons beach home of Daisy and Bennett to celebrate the christening of their new baby. Griffin and Jim - secretly growing tired of their rootless lifestyle - are in a rocky spot in their relationship. And as the godfather, Griffin finds himself yearning for something he's sure Jim won't be interested in. Fatherhood. Matt and Evan are looking to reconnect during the long weekend, as their respective careers pull them in separate directions. With less time spent together, Evan grows concerned about what will happen when the last two kids leave the nest. Members Reviews: Don't bother with this one What would have made Cherish & Blessed better? Above all this book needed a plot and something for the reader to care about. It seems even the author couldn't manage to raise an interest in it. The 'story' in this book is almost non-existent. It's more a series of scenes in which couples have (formulaic, unconvincing) sex and tell each other how much they love them. Oh, and of course, being gay men, they spend the few minutes a day when they are not have sex and telling their partners they love them, thinking about children and marriage. This is definitely a book written for and by women. There is a poor attempt at creating some tension with a miscommunication between one couple and the behaviour of one of the children. But I found it unmoving and uninteresting, probably because it was so as realistic as a Dynasty bitch fight. Would you ever listen to anything by Tere Michaels again? I would give the author another try because I have enjoyed the previous books in the series, but I will be much more cautious and read any reviews carefully first. How did the narrator detract from the book? This narrator is terrible. He seems to be getting a lot of work in this genre, which is very unfortunate. He has two traits which are a constant distraction. The first is that he reads English in a way that suggests that it is not his first language. Not accented, but the emphasis is very often on the wrong word in a sentence. Worse is the way that no matter what the subject matter or character, he reads in a voice of high emotion, his voice cracking as if on the edge of tears. It is almost always inappropriate and very distracting. There is also no distinction between the voices of different characters, which often makes it hard to distinguish which character is speaking (not that it matters in this case as they all say the same things for the most part). You didnt love this book...

Title: After the Fire Author: Emily Smith Narrator: Margaret McCormick Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 05-27-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Paramedic Connor Haus is good at two things - saving lives on the streets of Boston and holding her past against every firefighter she meets. The tragic loss of her partner, Kam, has left her bitter and angry; her work and fellow EMT Jake O'Harrigan the only pieces of her life she still cares about. Until rookie firefighter Logan Curtis moves to town, and onto Connor's scene, and threatens to rattle the walls Connor has long since put up. Hotshot Logan has never had a problem getting women to notice her. But when Connor trips her radar, she realizes Connor may be more than just another notch on her bedpost. But how could anyone compete with Kam's memory? Sometimes, you have to wait until after the fire to see just what's worth saving. Members Reviews: What A Letdown This is the second of the author's books I've tried and unless changes a great deal there won't be a third. There were far too many scenarios occurring that didn't manage to move the narrative forward at all. Then there is the matter of Connor one of the book's two lead characters who for some reason the author portrayed as the consummate bitch. It's good that the author made no attempt to portray the lead characters as too good to be true, but neither is it realistic to have the one lead character presented that way, while the other has seemingly fallen for a woman who does nothing but insult her. I made it to about the halfway point before I threw in the towel; even if Connor managed to change her behavior the fact that Logan had put up with all her rude, anti-social behavior, mixed in with multiple put-downs and insults was enough for me. Verbal abuse and bullying are ugly whether they are perpetrated by a man or a woman. I wanted to like it, I really did.... What disappointed you about After the Fire? Connor had no redeeming quailites at all - What was most disappointing about Emily Smiths story? The characters Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Margaret McCormick? Narrator actually did a good job. Any additional comments? Based on the premise of the book, and the jobs of the characters, I really wanted to like this book. The story line had such potential, however the complete lack of redeeming qualities of Connor had me struggling to even finish listening. Previous reviews doesn't make it justice. Connor is portrait in the book and by previous reviewers as a jerk/bitch who is always in the wrong. I disagree, life makes a person and stereotypical behavior is not always something to aim for. Connor has reasons and people keeps pushing her against her will. I would also be annoying with a bite if I was partnered with Jake and his jackass attitude. He keeps pushing Connor around and for some reasons everything is her fault. That's what's making me somewhat mad. His banter and matchmaking is never at fault apparently. cute story This book was an easy book to get into. the drama was real enough that the reader can get involved and truely care about the cast of characters, and their lives. there was a time where I felt Hoss was being a bit hypocritical, being mad at Logan for seeing other people when she was having her own one night stands so to speak.

Swamped with student loans and unable to pay rent, he is literally at his wit's end when he meets Guy Winters. Everything about Guy is fascinating: his lifestyle, his appearance, his generosity. So when Jason faces potential homelessness, he agrees to move in, but it isn't long before he realizes that Guy seems different. He's vague about where he works, the temperature is always freezing in his home, and his touch renders Jason breathless beyond what any passion should. After a home invasion leaves a man dead, a horrifying truth comes to life. Guy isn't human, and another of his kind is in Austin, leaving trail of bodies in its wake that frames both men for murder. With Jason's fingerprints in the apartment and a gunshot that will have sent the police department scrambling, there's no time to explain. The only thing they can do is run. Members Reviews: Enjoyable Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Definitely! I enjoyed both the story and the narrator How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I think the book is fine as it is What about Joel Leslies performance did you like? I thought he did well portraying all the characters in their own way Do you think His Touch of Ice needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes. I would love to see more of what happens. Any additional comments? I have to say there was one point where I actually laughed pretty hard. And it wasn't even intentional. It was an editing error with the audiobook. The narrator messes up a line about 2/3 of the way in and he stops and says "Oh my GOD I can't..." Then he starts the line over and gets it correct. But still that one burst of annoyance was so unexpected it made me laugh. **A free copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review** Very entertaining, a great story What made the experience of listening to His Touch of Ice the most enjoyable? how easy it was to get involved on the story, also how easy was to undestand what was going on. English is not my first lenguage and i was able to undestand it well enough, i didn't get lost on who was talking since the change of voive was very clear. What did you like best about this story? the plot, it was very unexpected, full of twists and action Which scene was your favorite? there wasn't one, there were severa of favorite scenesl, mostly the ones when a major plot twist was explain, like the moment before they runaway or when Guy explain some stuffs to Jason but I'm not going to say more to leave the review free from spoilers Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes, but i didn't have the time so ot took me a while.

But when he finally gets the chance to show Quinn how he feels, his heart gets broken in the most unexpected way. Quinn doesn't believe in miracles, especially not Christmas ones. When he decides to win Nate back he knows it won't be easy. The last thing he expects is a health scare, a road trip and a vicious snow storm to work in his favor. In the end, a cabin in the woods turns out to be not only the shelter they desperately need, but also Quinn's very own Christmas miracle. Members Reviews: Intense, passionate and intriguing. What made the experience of listening to Snowed In the most enjoyable? To have these two characters brought to life by the narrator. What did you like best about this story? There was a lot of content in so few pages and I was drawn into the story from the start. Which character as performed by Dan Rider was your favorite? Nate! My heart broke for young Nate, to have the one thing he has always dreamed of, then to have it snatched away while he lay dreaming. If you could rename Snowed In, what would you call it? Snowed In seems to fit just fine, and it's the title the Author gave the story, why mess with it? Any additional comments? Tams e-book review December 2015 At just fifteen years old, Nate not only knew he was gay, he knew exactly who he wanted his brothers best friend Quinn. Several years later on an annual Holiday trip to their family cabin, Nate finally gets what he has wanted for so long. But he is left stunned, confused and broken hearted when he wakes up the next morning to find Quinn gone. Two years later Quinn is back to beg for forgiveness and to finally explain to Nate why he snuck out of the bed theyd just shared, like a thief in the night. Quinn is back to lay claim to Nate, but what he finds is not the energetic, full of life young man that Quinn fell in love with. Nate is pissed off, defiant and wants nothing to do with Quinn. Will an unplanned trip to the cabin and a couple of days alone be the answer to Quinns prayers? Short, Sexy and wait for it Steamy! Kostova has delivered yet another fantastic Holiday story full of meat for us to sink our teeth into. (pun intended) Seriously, there was a lot of content in so few pages and I was drawn into the story from the start. My heart broke for young Nate, to have the one thing he has always dreamed of, then to have it snatched away while he lay dreaming. It really hits Nate hard and just by the dialogue in the story between Quinn and Bran, Nates brother, you know how hard the years have been on both men. I knew though, I just knew there had to be a reason. Ill say no more, youll have to read for yourself. Definitely the perfect little short story for this time of year; Snowed In is intense, passionate and intriguing. I devoured it in a little over an hour, just could not put it down once I started. Stupid story The central element of the story - what kept these two apart for so long - is stupid. It makes no sense at all. If that had been thought through and a more reasonable explanation provided perhaps I would not have viewed the rest of the story through a lens of 'Are you kidding?' The narration was confusing because all characters sounded the same. not for me Any additional comments? I was never able to make a connection with this story. Neither the characters nor plot were my kind of thing.

Seems Grainger has gotten into yet another fight. When he walks into the principal's office, he's shocked to find his son has been fighting with a little girl named Randi. A little girl with one blind dad and one dad who recently passed away. Dixon has lost his sight, his career, and his husband. Thank God for his brothers, Momma and Daddy, and his little girl, or he would simply give up. The last thing he needs is for Randi to start trouble at school, especially trouble that puts him in contact with another dad who might expect him to be a functional human being. Dixon is struggling to live as a blind man, Audie is terrified someone might see he has a closet to come out of, and everyone from the school to both men's families is worried for the men and their children. Unless they get themselves together and commit to change, neither of them stands a chance. Members Reviews: Really sweet comfort read It is the story of Dixon, who lost his sight and his partner in an accident. He returns home to his family with their young daughter and meets Audie, the father of his daughter's schoolmate. Dixon is having a hard time adjusting to being blind and Audie is a wonderful cowboy looking for love. The kids play a big role and there are also well meaning but overbearing moms. Not a lot of drama or angst. The narrator is a favorite and does a great job. The only issue I had was a production error. Throughout the book, at random points, the narration suddenly sounded muffled. Like they went back to correct some dialogue, but the sound quality changed dramatically. It was only for a second or two but it was enough to draw me out of the story. It was very annoying. Poor sound quality; choppy editing! Any additional comments? I loved the plot, the characters Audie and Dixon and their character development, and the story on the whole. What I didn't love was the choppy editing of the narration, the sound quality, and the rushed ending. This story has a trope I really enjoy: hurt/comfort. Dixon has lost both his husband and his sight in a horrific car accident. He's forced to move home with his parents because he can't do for himself, and needs time to get better and regroup before going to a special school that teaches people how to cope with their blindness. His daughter, Randi is having a really hard time adjusting to the changes in their life as well and acting out, particularly at school by hitting another child, Grainger. Grainger's father Audie is called in and is surprised to find out that his son has been fighting, and that the other child is a girl and a little spitfire. Audie is surprised again to find out that Dixon is gay and very out with it, particularly as his own homosexuality is a closely guarded secret. The children were well characterized, and, thankfully, not present enough to be a bother to me. I liked both Audie and Dixon, especially that they were both human and flawed and just trying to do the best they could, and in Dixon's case, making the best out of a truly shitty situation. The two men begin to spend time together because of the children and slowly begin building a relationship.

He focused on his job as a truck driver and put his own needs on the back burner. Georgie is a favorite at Paddles, providing personal entertainment to anyone looking for a sexy femme boi. When they meet at a party, it doesn't seem like more than a superficial connection. Neither expects to find actual happiness from each other. Members Reviews: A Journey from Loneliness to Love Have you ever wondered what would happen when a male escort meets a truck driver? Well read Looking For Home: More Than Just Friends. You'll meet Georgie, a flamboyant male escort and Evan, a truck driver who hauls potatoes from Boise, Idaho to Portland, Oregon. Both are lonely men but when meet at a mutual friends New Years Eve Party/Wedding sparks begin to fly. Follow their journey from attraction to the ripening of a serious relationship. Aria Grace, who is famous for addressing realities of life on this modern world, has done an excellent job of addressing HIV awareness in this beautifully crafted novel. Georgie! I've been rooting for Georgie to find his person for what felt like forever. He's been one of my favorite characters from Paddles, always so happy and full of life. Unfortunately behind the smiles, there is a sadness that all too often isn't seen. We met Evan briefly in a previous book, but he touches something and stuck with me. Maybe it was just the way he cares & nurtures without judging. The chemistry between Georgie & Evan is off the charts. They are drawn to each other, feeling more than just the usual attraction. Self control isn't high on Georgie's list, yet he finds himself trying, wanting to do more, be more for Evan. When Georgie has the chance to leave his job at Paddles, it may give them the push needed. Tim Todd really brings Aria Grace's books to life! He showcases the personalities, gives added dimensions to already wee developed characters. Like this one I like those book better then the other book in the series I understand people have to live there lifestyle the way they see fit however I did listen to the last book I was no interested All the feels Ok now this one really was my favorite. I needed to hear Evan's story after what he did for Chuck and so I jumped to hear Looking for Home. Then when I saw it was Georgie's story too... Omg! Perfect. This one has so much more angst and emotion, I was sobbing by the end. Loved every minute. I'm so bummed that book 10 is next and then I will be done. I was happy to see Tim Todd back as the narrator. He is the perfect choice!

Jeremy Porter is still grieving over his mother's death, and Paul McClellan is a lonely divorcee just trying to make it home even though the only one waiting for him is his cat. It may seem like a miserable combination, but when Jeremy saves Paul from being hit by a car during a nasty snowstorm, their connection and chemistry are undeniable. It's easy to cuddle up with a stranger when you're snowed in but can a holiday affair turn into more if being together feels like home? Members Reviews: Another sweet holiday short story Jeremy is sad this Christmas because its his first without his mother, who was a friend too. He ends up helping Paul by saving him from being run over, then gives him shelter during the storm. They end up celebrating a pre-Christmas and making good use of the time by learning about each other both emotionally and physically. They discover they have a pretty intense connection and when the snow clears they decide to make a go of a relationship, even though it might take some extra work. ** I enjoyed the emotion and the chemistry in this story and felt that, by the end, the couple had a good chance of making it go. Since it is a short-story, we didnt get a lot of time to get to know them, but what we did see looks promising. Michael Stellman did a nice job with the narration, letting the story tell itself with a style that is easy to listen to. Short, sweet story for the season What did you love best about Feels Like Home? The Holiday theme What did you like best about this story? The Holiday theme Have you listened to any of Michael Stellmans other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my first, but I'd listen to him again Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and I did Any additional comments? Jeremy Porter is on his way home just a few days before Christmas when a sexy stranger catches his eye. Paul McClellan is stranded with a flat tire just outside Jeremys apartment when a would be hit and run driver comes dangerously close to ruining Pauls Christmas. After pulling Paul to safety, Jeremy invites him up to his apartment to warm up and wait out the snow before they can safely change the tire. There is a connection between them that cannot be denied and almost as soon as they are inside and in wrapped up in warm clothes, they are out of them and wrapped up in each other. They spend the next two days wrapped in a world wind romance getting to know more about each other. They are both single but Jeremy is still mourning the loss of his mother and his ex-boyfriend while Paul has been divorced for close to six years, but his ex-wife can still make him feel like a petulant child. Jeremy is amazed at how quickly he acclimates to having Paul around, thinking being with Paul feels like home, feels natural. And yet, he wont tell Paul, or ask him to stay. When the storm clears and they replace Pauls tire, will he go? Or will he stay and make a home with Jeremy. This was a cute story about finding the one in the oddest of ways. My only complaint would be I wanted the author to decide between adult and YA. Words used were definitely descriptive, but then it was more of a fade to black than actual details of what these guys were doing. I would have rather had one, or the other, instead of teetering between the two.

Family Subtitle: Farm, Book 7 Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-12 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 78 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Four months ago Robert Edward Arie Hawkins lost his sister and the rest of her family in a plane crash. Now his parents have decided its time for him to marry and carry on the family name. Arie knows its most likely the grief talking - especially from his mother, whos taken to putting more than ice in her iced tea - so to escape Mississippi, Arie calls his best friend, Robbie, and arranges for a visit. Life is always changing at the Michigan farm where Robbie lives. Owner Geoff Laughton and his partner, Eli, have started a therapeutic riding program and adopted a little boy, creating a family. Its while feeding Jakey that Arie meets Officer Hunky. Officer Hunkys real name is Deputy Duane Keenan, and he has troubles of his own, but not enough to stop him from pursuing Arie. But Duanes and Aries families are pulling them in opposite directions. Trying to build a connection to support their mutual attraction may prove to be more than difficult.... It may be impossible. Members Reviews: Beautiful Music Arie is dealing with the loss of his sister and he's found a good spot to relax. But even Arie is surprised by how well he fits. Duane finally has a chance but he understands time is limited. I appreciate that they have to work to find a solution that will work for each of them individually and as a couple. I loved the sound of the violin music between each chapter. Simple and linear plot. Bad narration. Bad writing style. Writing style: 1) It is like listening to an audio-described soap. Every action is described. He did this, he did that. It's frustratingly lacking any proper description. For example, there's a scene where they are having dinner. What did they eat? "Food" apparently but not one piece of information is given about the cuisine, the restaurant the mood of the restaurant. And it's like this all the way through. It's more like a story a 2 year old will write. "I went to the shop. I bought some crisps. I went home." 2) there is so much name dropping in this, that it's quite possible that around 10% of the book is people's names. The narration is bad: it's quite fast (which in hindsight is a blessing to end it quicker). The accents were pretty basic but nothing to be intrigued about. The plot: I suppose this might be considered pulp fiction but the plot is so simple. The part of the attempted murder could easily be stripped out without any affect on the story. I was unimpressed.

Biochemistry Audiobook by Andrew Grey

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-27-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When his college biochemistry class turns out to be much more difficult than star quarterback Freddie Samuelson imagined, his lab partner, Kurt Maxwell, agrees to help. They're very different: a rich kid athlete and a hardworking openly gay scholarship student. But Kurt slips past Freddie's defenses, and little by little-despite Freddie ignoring his own sexuality in the past - Freddie realizes he wants to get to know Kurt, especially when Kurt helps him through more challenges than their science class. But it isn't long before rumors begin to fly, and the obstacles Freddie will face may block him from both the future he planned on and the future he didn't know he wanted. Members Reviews: Good narration, story not as good as first book In book one, we met Josh and Brendan, a coach and a professor/genius who fall in love. Josh is here as the coach of Freddie, the star quarterback, and acts as a counselor for Freddie as he navigates his decision to come out. Kurt is out and proud in his new college but hes already been the victim of bullying so hes a bit gun shy of jocks, especially closeted jocks. So when Freddie tries to strike up more than just a tutoring relationship its understandable that Kurt is a bit reluctant to take a risk. Freddie, on the other hand, is captivated by Kurt and thinks he might be the reason itd be worth facing his family and friends with his new truth. ** I loved book one so much! Brendan and Josh were really sweet and adorable and I was hoping for something like that here. Instead we get Freddie who has trouble in school, has trouble making decisions and has self-esteem issues when it comes to his family. Im not sure what he sees in Kurt or vice versa and it was hard rooting for them as a couple. Kurt is a bit of a bossy bosserton who waffles and gives in pretty easily in the face of only a very minor bit of pushing on Freddies part. Besides his physical appeal I didnt see what he saw in Freddie nor did Freddie give any good reasons for Kurt to trust him. Freddies actions didnt feel authentic and I wasnt really feeling any chemistry between him and Kurt so this wasnt a romance that let me believe theyd still be together in the long run. 3 of 5 stars Audio Nick J Russo is a great narrator and really seemed to hit Freddies football persona on the head! I LOVED Freddies roommate the drawl Nick gives him is pretty funny and it actually added a bit of much needed color to this somewhat drab romance. I definitely enjoyed listening to this more than reading it as Nick was able to draw me in to the characters with his well-done narration. 4.5 of 5 stars Overall 3.75 of 5 stars Great story Great writing and great Narration. Author had me drawn in to the story and caring about the characters and what would happen to them. Fun Jock meets nerd college coming out fantasy Kurt Maxwell, nerdy, out & outspoken, scholarship student from a poor Pennsylvania family, transfers in his junior year to a more prestigious school and is determined to do well. When he's teamed as a lab partner with Freddie Samuelson, the studly closeted/clueless quarterback, scion of a wealthy east coast family, who shares a name with several campus buildings, friction is inevitable, and in the case of m/m fiction some sweaty wish-fulfillment fantasies. This is a fun, if periodically incredible, romp in the hay, centered on the modern college experience.

Waiting for Rain Audiobook by Susan Mac Nicol

Title: Waiting for Rain Author: Susan Mac Nicol Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The village of Stamford, the quintessential chocolate-box English scene, seemed an impossible dream for foster kid Toby Prentiss. Now he's found a home among the haystacks and village fairs as the general manager for the Duck and Drake Hotel. With the fears and demons from his youth hidden away in this bucolic oasis, he's very protective of who he lets in. Until he stumbles across shirtless carpenter Rain Engel building the hotel's new custom-designed bar. Working in the countryside, Rain prepared to face his biggest fear: sheep. He didn't expect to deal with his second biggest fear: commitment. Toby's controlled tough-guy façade coupled with his "find happiness where you can" optimism calls to Rain like nothing before. While Rain may be an exhibitionist, his romantic history forces him to hold his emotions close. As their relationship develops, secrets from their pasts drive a wedge between them: the ex-boyfriend who tore apart Rain's trust and Toby's history with the law. But can the secrets hiding among the quirky villagers bring them together? With missing sheep, pole dancing at the winter festival, and a crippling drought, everyone is waiting for Rain. Members Reviews: Hated the character voices! Any additional comments? WARNING: This is an entirely subjective review. While I will not, and rightly cannot, deny Matthew Lloyd Davies delivers a good narration performance, I absolutely loathed the voices he used for the main characters. I thought he made Toby sound like a 50+ year old poncy twat, and Rain, who was supposed to be South African, at times, to me, sounded way more Germanic or Italian than South African. So it kind of ruined the whole thing for me. That being said, the rest of his narration was quite good. Timing, inflection, performance all fine. Told in alternating first-person POVs, we are introduced to Toby when he boots his boyfriend to the curb after the dickhead hits him. I literally cheered at this scene. It was so refreshing to see someone defend himself the way Toby does. Some months later, Toby meets Rain when Rain and his partner, Lucas, come to the Duck and Drake Hotel (where Toby is the General Manager) to build a custom pub. After a rocky start, Toby and Rain begin seeing each other (read: blowing and jacking each other in the garden shed). While the physical part of their relationship is immediate and WHITE HOT, the emotional side is a bit of a slow burn. Both men have secrets and things they are hiding from each other, which take some time to come to light. This story is chockablock full of sex, in every way, shape and form. Its also chock full of a bunch of bloated side plots involving homophobic assholes, weird sheep phobias, sheepnapping, humor, pole dancing, TSTL moments, more humor, and more sex. It was a glut of extra everything, which admittedly served at times to move along the relationship between Toby and Rain, but got old. Fast. Honestly, with as much as I was hating the narration by the time it was only halfway through I was wishing it was over. Surprisingly though, it wasnt the narration, but the story itself that managed to trip my rage switch at around 54%. Spoilers removed Aside from that though, its a funny, quirky, bit-long-winded, romance with a lot of sex. I think I might have liked it more had I been reading rather than listening. Maybe not, given the things I was ragey about though. Yes! I loved this book.

The Guy from Glamour Audiobook by Skylar M. Cates

Cates Narrator: Matt Baca Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 170 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Anthony Carrino loves his big, gregarious Italian-American family, even if his sisters are interfering, and his dad, the local sheriff, knows everything going on in town. He's happy as a middle school guidance counselor. Despite helping kids and their parents fix their problems, Anthony can't manage to get his own love life right. If only everyone would stop calling him the "nice" guy. Dean Pierce doesn't do relationships. A tough-minded military man, he is dedicated to his job as a Night Stalker, flying Chinook helicopters and not speaking much to anybody. He certainly doesn't want to deal with a mess of emotions. But when tragedy strikes, Dean finds his hands full with his troubled niece, her irresistible guidance counselor, and a meddlesome family, which includes a rather large puppy. Members Reviews: Sweet comfort read This is a great comfort read. Dean is a Special Forces soldier who is forced to take a hardship discharge in order to take care of his niece when his sister unexpectedly dies. He travels to the small town of Glamour, AZ and meets Anthony, the local guidance counselor. One of the best things about this book is Anthonys family; a big Italian family that loves and supports each other fiercely. It is always great to see that in an mm romance. Dean on the other hand has past demons he is trying to conquer. He was not out in the army and has a hard time adjusting to civilian life and his feelings for Anthony; he doesnt think he is worthy of someone as beautiful and good as Anthony. The narrator does an amazing job. He has great voices and really brings emotions to the characters. There is a little angst and not a lot of drams. Overall, worth a credit. Ugly Cover But a GREAT BOOK! I didn't quite understand the name. That is why I passed it up several times. Now I get it Glamour is the name of a town not a prissy beauty school. This was actually well written a story about a man in the military who has to leave to care for his niece and the guidance counsellor who takes her in. The narration was great especially the sibling bickering. I downloaded the next edition @audible and plan on reading the last book since it's not offered as an audiobook. I hope you give this more a modern cover. The teacher in his hot glasses and the giant pilot gazing at each other. Just saying. Good story! Any additional comments? Matt Baca has the most sweetest voice ever! He sounds so d@mn adorable, which would fit for a novel about a teenager. For this story, his voice just did not match the main characters and I could not listen to the erotic scenes at all. LOL. Now, the story was decent and I was entertained, plus Matt Baca is a fabulous performer. But for this story, it sounded like a teenager playing grown-up. Anyway, good story. Wonderful series expertly narrated Dean gets called from active duty in Afghanistan to return to Arizona when his sister is killed to take charge of his 13 year-old niece.

Title: Frankie & Al Author: Sue Brown Narrator: Max Lehnen Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Dumped by his boyfriend, Frankie Mason goes out with the girls, gets totally trashed, and ends his night by falling in front of a taxi. He's rescued by a man with beautiful green eyes who takes care of him until he's put into an ambulance. Frankie curses himself as he realizes he doesn't have the man's phone number. Still in pain a few days later, he is dragged out to a club only to be saved by Green Eyes once more. This time, he isn't letting the man go. Unfortunately Frankie has to attend a team-building exercise, nicknamed Womb Weekend, organized by his company. Al is working so he doesn't mind, until he discovers who the team leader is. Al has a lot of explaining to do! Members Reviews: It's A Dance They seem to spend a lot of time dancing around each other but as they connect they bring special things out in each other. Al gets more dominate and Frankie settles into the care. Both men are also able to give to each other. Surprisingly good! Frankie is a hot mess. He gets dumped by his boyfriend via text, gets so drunk he needs the help of a stranger to make it into his hotel room to puke, gets run into by a cab and then ends up at a retreat for team-building with the guy who rescues him each and every time. Al is fascinated with Frankie from the start and somehow ends up at the sight of each disaster in time to lend a hand. The two find themselves in a relationship with very little fan-fare and after spending the weekend of the retreat together find a HEA. ** This was a short, sweet story filled with British slang and quirks. The romance moved fairly quickly, but, in a way, the speed seemed to make sense. Al was in a really sensitive position, his mother is dying, and Frankie is on the re-bound. Al is a care-giver and Frankie needs a lot of care. The two needed each other. I wished we could have seen more of their relationship unfold as the ending was pretty quick, but it left you feeling like things could really work out. Audio: I am shocked to say that I actually really liked Max Lehnen here. The audio really does the book justice. Max does a great job with the British accents and that really adds to the overall UK flavor and made for a really enjoyable read. Since the author is British, the characters all British and it occurs in the UK, I would have liked for Maxs accent to continue throughout the story, not just the dialog. It kind of brought me out of the story to hear the British sayings in a flat American accent when the dialog was accented. I really enjoyed the story and give it a 4 of 5 stars, the audio a 4 of 5 stars for an overall of 4 of 5 stars Overall Impression: 4 stars I really liked it boring story, bad narrator Any additional comments? This is one of those stories that kind of slips away from you as soon as you are done with it. Felt like it was just events that kept happening with Frankie with other characters thrown in instead of a flowing story. Story felt unfinished. Love the story, hate the narrator God, it's terrible, listening to the fake accent, give us some English narrators for goodness sake, there's loads of ex pat in the US. Like the narrator normally, but couldn't finish the story that I love to read, would have returned it but this damn thing won't let me despite the claims otherwise.

Title: Love Means No Fear Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-11 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 137 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Raine Baumer is living the party life in Chicago, indulging in short relationships with little emotional commitment. But after hes severely injured in a gay bashing, close friend Geoff arrives to take him to the country to recuperate. There, Geoff and his partner, Eli, treat him like part of the family, and Raine meets Jonah, Elis brother, who is exploring life in the world outside his Amish community. Jonah and Raines mutual attraction draws them together, but they may not have a chance to explore it. Jonahs father is making ultimatums, and the police believe that the attack on Raine may not have been as random as it initially appeared. Raine and Jonah will have to face what they fear most in order to have any chance at a life together. Members Reviews: Love Means....A Great Listen Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I recommend all of the Love Means.....books by Andrew Gray Have you listened to any of Sean Crisdens other performances before? How does this one compare? Sean Crisden narrates with great feeling in his voice. Any additional comments? I have all of the Love Means...books. Both in print and in audio format. Perhaps the Laughton Farms scenarios are a bit too idealistic, but they are so uplifting and entertaining that the reader/listener is transported to this wonderful place, if only for a few hours. Sweet I was cheering for Jonah's and Raine's relationship. They come from completely different worlds and a happy ending seemed remote.... the development of their relationship and personal battles is engaging. Another great instalment to the series. Andrew Grey If you could sum up Love Means No Fear in three words, what would they be? Good love story What did you like best about this story? Jonah and Randy's interaction and banter What does Sean Crisden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I have many books that Sean Crisden has narrated and will sometimes base my decision on whether to buy the book or not because of the narrator. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Not a clue Standing Up For Yourself It is time for Geoff's friend Raine to get his story. And it is involves Eli's brother Jonah. I loved much of this story. The fact that Jonah is working at figuring out for himself what he wants. Raine having to re-evaluate his own life for different reasons. I really love how much Jonah grew in this story from being shocked about his brother's life to being a strong man who knows his own mind. Raine I felt didn't really grow as much because in the end his life remained large unchanged. I get the feeling that as time goes on we will hear more from these two or at least I hope so because I think there is more in their life that needs to be settled. Another Andrew Grey/Sean Crisden Great What made the experience of listening to Love Means No Fear the most enjoyable? As usual, listening to Sean Crisden. He doesn't make the story, just makes it better! Who was your favorite character and why? I have no favorite. All the characters are so interesting I wished I knew "real" people like them. Which character as performed by Sean Crisden was your favorite? Geoff Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No, the whole book was very moving. Whenever I read something (or listen to) a book by Andrew Grey I feel the whole spectrum of the emotions.

Gods and Monsters Audiobook by Christopher Bram

Title: Gods and Monsters Author: Christopher Bram Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Previously titled Father of Frankenstein, this acclaimed novel was the basis for the 1998 film starring Sir Ian McKellen, Lynn Redgrave, and Brendan Fraser. It journeys back to 1957 Los Angeles, where James Whale, the once-famous director of such classics as Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, is living in retirement, haunted by his past. Rescuing him from his too-vivid imagination is his gardener, a handsome ex-marine. The friendship between these two very different men is sometimes tentative, sometimes touching, often dangerous - and always captivating. Editorial Reviews: Gods And Monsters climaxes with a body floating face down in a swimming pool, that familiar symbol of the fatal lure and excess of Hollywood. The events that lead to this tragedy are a fugue-like journey through the memories of a forgotten master of cinema, as the story flits from James Whales Hollywood success, his grim upbringing in North England, and his deteriorating grasp on the present. Christopher Brams book (originally titled Father of Frankenstein) is an elegant work in which the darker themes are counterbalanced with light, often comic touches, including cameos from Charles Laughton, Greta Garbo, and Tallulah Bankhead. But the motif at the heart of the story is how people make monsters of their past, and Bram links Whales iconic horror films to his long-buried background. He makes the claim for the films as shards of autobiography, psychological inner portraits, and this deliberate confusing of the films and fact is embedded into the narrative itself: Several chapters begin in the unmistakeable style of exterior-establishing script directions. ("Night. Rain. A hissing of wind, lightning strikes.") Joe Barrett brings a seriousness to the experience which works in the storys favor what could read as mannered or brittle on page becomes something a little more everyman. James Whale may well be the main character, but Barrett seems closer in temperament to Clayton Boone, the awkward gardener looking for a great drama that would take him out of his dead-end life and justify his existence". An added bonus: Just at the very edge of Barretts voice is the familiar tone of movie-trailer voiceovers, that gravelly earnestness promising violent explosions, but tempered here by a gentler compassion, as Boone chooses not to be Whales monster who destroys his creator, but instead chooses the other path suggested by the books title. Critic Reviews: "A touching fictional portrait of old Hollywood and of one of the curious geniuses who made it what it was. (All Things Considered) Members Reviews: Movies marry literature and spawn a monster Movies marry literature and spawn a monster. Several in fact. This audio version is stellar too.

Cates Narrator: Matt Baca Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 119 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Aaron Weiss knows how to escape. Years ago, he ran from a romantic disappointment and impulsively joined the Army. Now, he's forced to take a medical discharge, and readjusting to life at home proves a challenge. Jesse Ross knows how to hide. He realizes he's an oddball, and that he's an outsider within his own family. He also knows his secret love since childhood, Aaron, only wants his good-looking, favored older brother. Yet Jesse could never completely abandon his intense feelings for Aaron. Over the years, Jesse was a faithful pen pal to him. Still, he's shocked to his core to find Aaron on his doorstep. As long-buried secrets and past hurts take center stage, the two are overwhelmingly drawn to each other. But it's their future that may force them to risk everything. Members Reviews: Not as good as the first one Any additional comments? *** 3 okay, then meh stars *** Audio edition, narrator Matt Baca. 7 hours 47 minutes Overall: 3 Performance: 4 Story: 2 Sadly I didn't like this as much as the first one. It started out good, but the last 20% was not so good. It kinda ruined my impression of the book. Narrator Matt Baca does a good job with this one too. I did hear one mistake, though. When Jesse looks at the old letters from Aaron early in the book, Baca says "Anthony's letters" instead of "Aaron's letter". Anthony is the main character from #1. Good series. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I like this one better than the first, though I did enjoyed that one too. It had a nice build up with the past relationship. And no meet-cute (I say this as a good thing) though I guess it would be a remeet cute. Good low level angst. Which scene was your favorite? The Jesse's parents party where Aaron finally starts seeing things clearly. I also like that the characters from the other books are carrying on their lives in a "realistic" fashion. Things are changing for them even when they "off-screen" and their actions aren't necessarily effecting the main characters of the current book. Any additional comments? I liked both Jesse and Aaron (though at times I wanted to slap Aaron upside the head). They were sweet together. It's a nice romance with some family drama and angst. I did like that no everything was wrapped up in a perfect bow. BUT I do wish there had been a bit more resolution with Aaron's family at least. Aaron's mom put the s on mother. But she was sweet with him but then was SUCH a witch to Jesse, who'd already had enough parent issues. I would have like to see her eventually welcoming and apologizing to Jesse and seeing what jerks her "friends" were. But it's very nice read. Sweet story, a little better than the average I like the fact that you accually feel like the MC are real peope with real problems. I especially liked the fact that the entire background story isnt told right upfront and as the story unfolds, you begin to get a better feel for the MC. Other than that it is also an ever-after lovestory. Worth a listen but not in my top ten Narrator fine. Overrated The publishers summary is misleading, making the book sound far more exciting than it is. This is not a book about risking anything.

Even his dreams are boring; the most exciting dream he's ever had involved folding laundry. But then, in the middle of a dream about eating cereal, everything changes. A faint memory of an unseen visitor, impressions that vanish upon waking, become dreams that leave Jonah exhausted, afraid, and determined to figure out who is turning his boring dreams into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Members Reviews: Different, but good The blurb really doesn't give much info and there weren't any written reviews, so I had no idea what to expect. I really couldn't tell that it was a romance from the blurb, nor that it was MM, even though it showed up in my recommendations along with other MM romances. The mystery of who is chasing Jonah in his dreams is solved pretty quickly. The rest of the story is essentially the love story between Jonah and Morpheus. The sex scenes are more alluded to or fade to black than is my preference, though that really doesn't detract from the story. I enjoyed it enough to try more from this author.

Roeder Narrator: Andy Babinski Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-13 Publisher: Mark A Roeder Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Better Place is the story of two boys from two completely different worlds struggling to find themselves amongst a whirlwind of confusion. Will the strength they find in each other be enough to overcome the hatred and abuse of others? The unlikely pair struggle through friendship and heartbreaks, betrayal and hardships, to find the deepest desire of their hearts. Casper, the poorest boy in school, goes through life as the "invisible boy", and Brendan, the captain of the high school varsity football team, has it all; muscles, money, fame, and popularity. So, when Brendan takes an interest in Casper, their friendship goes in a direction that no one would have ever guessed. The two boys share nothing on the surface, but underlying each boy's reputation lies a yearning to be free, a yearning to find a better place. Mark A. Roeder has written and published some two dozen novels in his Gay Youth Chronicles, a continuing series not only for gay youth, but readers of all ages and sexual orientations. Since the age of fifteen, Roeder has been turning out articles, columns, and novels, but for the last several years has dedicated his life to writing heart-warming stories about gay youth. He currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana. Information on his current and upcoming books can be found at markroeder.com. Members Reviews: Hang on for the ride... Now I do not think this is a bad book and I would recommend to others, especially if you get it on sale. Roeder's writing style is in need of a serious editor. He was all over the place and at times it was hard to follow or muster up the energy to follow. I know that sounds harsh and I do not mean for it to be. The tale of Casper and Brendan is a sweet coming of age story but the intense drama experienced by both characters was a bit unrealistic and a bit contrived. The story could have used some editing. I am not doubting that some of the horrific things that occurred in the story occur, but all at the same time. Towards the end of the book we are introduced to two more principle characters, Nathan and Ethan, with their baggage and lo and behold it was hard for this reader to relate to any of them...perhaps the tornado. Just kidding...though I am not giving this tale a rave review, I do see where and what Roeder was trying to do...but I think there was way too much. The book could have been broken into a series which would have allowed for more insight into the real life drama's presented. Of course, this is just my take... Worth your time Would you listen to A Better Place again? Why? No. It was a good story, but once you know what's happening, it's kind of pointless to go through it again. Who was your favorite character and why? Casper. The author did a good job describing him and I felt like I understood his character best. Hate-Listening is the new Hate-Watching What didnt you like about Andy Babinskis performance? For some reason he only gives 1 character a distinct voice, everyone else is the same. Why even put for the effort for one character? Any additional comments? Do you know what hate watching is? It is when you find a television show that you hate, and you know you hate it, but you still continue to watch it. Usually it's because the show is over the top, ridiculous, and filled with unbelievable characters and situations.

But he's much more attracted to human males than to his own species. Eager to explore his forbidden longings, he steals a ship and heads to Elora Ki to see if he can find the right human guy. Darien robs the corrupt to give to those in need, but now he needs a ride off Elora Ki, stat. Pursued by drug lords, he accepts help from the amorous stranger who calls himself Ricky. As they fly together along Darien's route, their friendship quickly turns into passion. But when Ricky is injured, Darien must contact the embassy to get his alien lover the medical care he needs. As Darien finds himself accused of kidnapping, and Ricky fears his family's disappointment, can the two protect their growing relationship? Or are their differences just too great? Members Reviews: So dang good! Man, I have not read/listen to a really good m/m romance in like forever. This was awesome with a capital A! I so did not expect this... but I love how Ricky was really and truly an Alien. I love the moving penis and inner balls in the butt! So great... OMG...I laughed soooo hard... I almost cried. It wasn't sick either... just so funny. And the noises that Ricky make when he is angry or horny is just hilarious. So good. A straight through listen too... Totally unexpected. Buy or Credit.. well worth it. Narration was good. The ONLY audiobook I'll listen to more than once What did you like best about this story? The alien's balls. Seriously, I was like wtf at first but it got funnier... Have you listened to any of Chad Maxwells other performances before? How does this one compare? Never heard him before. He did pretty well. Any additional comments? To be fair, the reviewer before mine is not lying, there are some corny parts in the beginning of this book, but I implore you to push through them, it's well worth it. This isn't a book that will one day become a movie but that doesn't mean it's not a good book. The writing is well done, the narration is well done, and the story is cute. There's just enough fluff, just enough action, just enough sex, and just enough heart. By the middle of the book and the end, the fluff fades and it takes on a more serious tone. I won't lie, I read romance for romance, and I am well aware that romance sometimes comes with cheese but this one was lightly dashed with it, and not covered in it Velveeta style like others I've heard or read. I am VERY pleased with this purchase and this story. It was worth way more than I paid. The characters were sweet and well put together. Thumbs up to the author and narrator. I shall look out for more by them in the future. Bravo! A nice sci-fi romp Would you listen to Alien 'n' Outlaw again? Why? I think I would prefer to read the book over listening to the audiobook. The narrator seemed to me to be an amateur. What was one of the most memorable moments of Alien 'n' Outlaw? When R'kos was injured and Darien realized he loved him. What does Chad Maxwell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Over all he is a mediocre narrator and I would not look forward to another story performed by him.

I wonder how Zack handle their son leaving with his parents? that ending though.... ok I wasn't expecting much from this story and it was ok, the narrator was not the best. the story is short and pretty much to the point, then the end happened and I was like.....WHAT!? I don't know if I'd be spoiling anything but * SPOILER ALERT!!!* how in the world is the farm hand just going to run away with this young man and the story just end with him saying "oh don't worry about your parents I'll take care of it." WHAT!? Fast and fun! This was a quick fun listen. If you are looking for something believable this is probably not for you but to me being believable wasn't the point. Its a good, fast, sexy audio book for mm lovers. Good. I enjoyed this short piece of M/M erotica. The story was good and so was the narration.

The change throws Larrys life into limbo until he meets Joshua Langdon. To Joshua, Larry is a lion: growly and strong, but too proud to ask for help. Joshua gets past his defenses and finds a place in Larry and Angus family, but Larry's pride gets in the way. Can they turn their holiday romance into a relationship that lasts into the New Year? Members Reviews: The perfect companion to the written version. Where does A Lion in Tails rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? At the top, I think I'll listen to this one again, regardless of the season. What did you like best about this story? Everything! Which scene was your favorite? Larry and Josh's first time. What Larry says to him, AhMazing! Who was the most memorable character of A Lion in Tails and why? Little Angus, he is just so adorable. Any additional comments? Original e-book review December 2013 Short, Sexy and Steamy wrapped up in a pretty red bow! My three favorite colors, oh how Ive missed you!! Larry Kincaid inherited the responsibilities of being a father to his young nephew, Angus, when his sister passed away. Every day is about going through the motions with Larry thinking of what is best for Angus. All that changes when he takes Angus to a local shop to get a tux for their annual Christmas party. Angus is immediately enamoured with the shop worker, Joshua Langdon, as is uncle Larry. Circumstance leads Larry to invite Josh to the Christmas party, and the two share a very heated, very passionate night for an after party. But when Josh leaves in the night without so much as a word or a note, Larry is hurt. A past relationship that went bad left a sour taste in Larrys mouth and he jumps to conclusions about why Josh left, then refuses to hear his explanation. As fate would have it the two meet again by chance, shopping for Christmas trees. Can Larry let go of the past, be a father to Angus and have a relationship with Josh? Trademark Andrew Grey with the perfect plot and precise character development. The flow from start to finish was steady and graceful. Larry is a lion when it comes to his role as a father figure and his business, but when it becomes more personal with Josh, he acts like an unsteady kitten. Until Josh calls him out on it, and then its on! What he has to do is find a balance between being Anguss father and Joshs lover. This book seriously made me laugh, cry and swoon. If youre looking for a fun Holiday read that is equal parts sexy and sweet, then this is the book for you. Updated Audio review December 2014 I do love when a narrator can take a story Ive already read and enjoyed and add just that little something more to it. There were actually little things in the story that I either missed or just didnt quite catch when I read it, or perhaps Kellys rendition of the written word just brought something new to it. Larry lost his sister and became the sole guardian to his young nephew and he constantly worries that he cant give little Angus what he needs. Josh sees the man that Larry truly is. A fiercely loyal, strong single father, and the perfect partner for him. Through Christmas parties, fancy suits and decorating trees these two men fall in love and show a promise of becoming a family.

Christopher Waters is a recent graduate who is looking for work, and he has secret fantasies of being bound by his lover. Both men feel heat from instant attraction when they meet for an interview, but Chris questions his feelings because he has a boyfriend, one he has been with for years. So how is it that Tatum makes him doubt everything he has? After Christopher's boyfriend viciously betrays him, he flees to the firm and Tatum takes him away to regroup. A relationship quickly forms when Chris expresses interest in BDSM. It's difficult for Christopher to learn trust, but after Tatum willingly submits himself to Chris for a night, he knows that he will give the man anything he asks for. After their first official scene at Steel Cuffs, Tatum's favorite BDSM club, Tatum and Chris realize that what they have is more than just sex - it's love.

Tatum's family has never approved of his sexual orientation, and they are determined to never allow a public relationship to tarnish their family name. Tatum has to risk everything in order to save his boy from death. Members Reviews: loved this book and narrator I loved the storyline between tatum and Christopher. The Story begins with Christopher having a domineering boyfriend who doesn't respect him or can be faithful that's when Tate walks in and changes his world and Christopher's World at the same time. Great start in a series! I had read this book previously so I knew the story but David Ross brought this story to life in a way that was amazing. Tate and Christopher were alive in a way that pulled you in and did not want to let you go. Though, I would recommend to turn it off when going through the drive-thru. That poor cashier still has difficulty looking at me without blushing.

Roeder Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Elliott is the new boy in school - again. He lives in a creepy house. His classmates ignore him. His bedroom is haunted. And, he just might be losing his mind. Elliott isn't pleased about being exiled from Chicago to the sleepy town of Verona, Indiana, but he's determined to make the best of it. He meets Marshall, who is undoubtedly the most bizarre boy in school, but who is the only one, other than his grandmother, that Elliott can trust not to be freaked out by the ghost in his bedroom and the strange dreams that might not be dreams at all. Marshall introduces Elliott to a mismatched lot of companions: a jock, a skater, a bookworm, and a boy who dresses as if it's still the 1930s. Elliott is delighted to have friends at last, but there's something rather odd about Derrick, Cory, Jared, and Keaton. Nothing is quite as it seems in Verona, Indiana - in the present or the past. Members Reviews: Great and wanted it to be longer. This is one of Mark Roder's novellas and it is right up there with his other short novels and long ones as it is a good mystery story that I enjoy by this excellent writer. I wish that this story had gone much longer. The characters are well develped and the story hos a twist that may be expected by those readers who follows Mark Roeder's writings as i do. I enjoy rereading Roeder's books over and over. They open more and more story to me by doing this. I just love his writings. Dead Boys of Verona exceptional read. The author has done an excellent job, on this excellent book. This has to be one of Mark's best writings that I have read. I read this book twice in one day. The story is well written, the characters are very believable. One does not suspect anything out of the ordinary until about half way through the book. Mark gives you plenty of subtle hints as to the real situation. I loved the main character Elliot. Thank you Mark for a really exceptional read. Keep up the good work. I hope that we will get meet Elliot in another exceptional book some time in the future. Interesting I really want to know what happened to all of them.

Knitter in His Natural Habitat Audiobook by Amy Lane

Title: Knitter in His Natural Habitat Subtitle: Granby Knitting Series, Book 4 Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Philip Alces Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Stanleys life took a left turn at a knitting shop and hit a dead end. The closest thing hes had to a relationship breaks things off to date a "nice boy," and none of the pretty young things in Boulders limited gay scene do it for Stanley. He needs to reevaluate whether working as a floor designer for a series of craft stores is really where he wants to be. Then Stanley does a peculiar thing: he starts to live the life he fell into. Stitch by stitch, he knits his life into something meaningful. Just when he does, Johnny, the stores new delivery boy, walks in. Johnny is like no one Stanley has ever met: he doesnt believe in quickies in the bathroom and has a soft spot for theater and opera. There has to be a catch. When Johnnys dark past comes back to haunt them, Stanley realizes how much he loves his cushy life in the yarn store - but hell give it all up to keep the man who makes his ordinary life extraordinary. Members Reviews: Philip Alces does a fantastic job Any additional comments? Philip Alces does a fantastic job with the narration. Between his character voices and overall performance it's a real treat to listen to him with this series so far, and this installment is no different. I loved his Stanley! Alces brilliantly conveys Stanley's snarky, bitchy, vulnerability. I loved Stanley as a character, his humor is right up my alley. I cracked up so many times at the things he thought and what flew out of his mouth. When Stanley, who is tired at 35 of the club life, decides to give both knitting and being a "nice boy" a shot, the results, and snarkiness, is hysterical. When Johnny, who we met at the end of How to Raise an Honest Rabbit, makes a delivery to Stanley's yarn store it's instant love at first sight for both of them. I'll admit I had to suspend my disbelief more than once in this one, with the insta-love, the confession of Johnny's past to Stanley and the others, the mob finding Johnny and Stanley, Stanley's flight, and finally Jeremy's stand. But I let all of that go, because ultimately the writing is fun, flows brilliantly and Amy Lane knows how to tear out my heart and piece it back together like a patchwork quilt, somehow making it stronger than when I started. As far as characters in this series go, I loved Craw and Ben, then Aiden and Jeremy, and now Stanley and Johnny. They are so real to me, I just want to wrap them up in a thick quilt an insulate them from further harm. It makes me sad that I've lost the happy fluffiness of the first book, I mean, a little darkness crept in for How to Raise an Honest Rabbit, but A Knitter in His Natural Habitat took a full turn to the oh my god! dark side. It makes me wary and worried about what will befall my boys in the final installment. Though I know, in my heart, Amy Lane will not let me down and will, eventually, give me a happy ending. Recommended! Philip Alces at his best! Depending on your ordering system this is either book 3 or 4 of the knitters series. This is one of the more intense books in the series. Stanley is an aging bottom boy and Johnny is in the Witness Protection Program after ratting out the mob.

Ashling Narrator: Paul Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-12 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: What should have been a brief interlude turns into something deeper when Lil Lampert meets Grier Dilorio at the Taste of Chicago. Lil is in town visiting good friends Jody Williams and Clark Stevens, and he didnt plan to hook up with a younger man and discover a mutual love for architecture, interior design, and a unique sexual kink that keeps Lil coming back for more. By all appearances, Grier is the quintessential bad boy who loves speed, tattoos, and leather, but Lil slowly uncovers another side: selfless, responsible, and tender, especially for Luca, the son hes had to deny. With Lils love and support, Grier will make a decision key to opening the door to a possible future together, one that includes fatherhood, something Lil has dreamed of but has never dared to explore. Members Reviews: Glad I kept listening Would you listen to Taste again? Why? I probably will in a few months when the next story in the series is released. Any additional comments? The first few minutes of this story made me stop and download another. Unfortunately, that one was even worse. I went back to this story and once I gave it a change (after about 10-30 minutes) I was completely enthralled. A surprisingly wonderful story that kept me engaged until the end. Uncharacteristically, I kept listening to the story even after leaving work and finished it in one day. I even looked for the next book in the series. Can't wait until the next book "DADDIO" is available! Leather and Lace Let me start out by saying the only reason I got this book was b/c Paul Morey was the narrator. However, I didn't realize this was Book 2 in the 3 book series. Especially since Book 1 is not on Audible. I love Paul's narration, so that was 5 stars. However, the story was a little weak and not as engaging as I like; I didn't really feel a connection to the couple. It also didn't help that I'm not into Leather and Lace, which is a big part of the relationship btwn the MCs. I didn't really get that from the description. There is no BDSM, but big men in lace underwear and cross dressing is really not my thing. There were also small unrealistic things like a MC who lives in San Francisco but is scared to death of earthquakes. And b/c I live in Chicago, I was sensitive to some inaccuracies in the story about Chicago. I didn't read the 1st book, which I would like to have read before this one b/c that couple (Clark & Jody) have a large influence on this story. There is a 3rd book that looks like it is a continuation of this story; and probably Clark and Jody's. Overall, it was OK if you can get past the lace panties. Really liked It I was not so into it at first but as the book progressed and the characters and storyline blossomed I really started to enjoy the book. I felt so bad for Grier with the situation he found himself in and was rooting for him throughout the book. The narrator was good as always, Paul Morey is one of my favorite narrators. Great story, even better narrator I love to hear Paul Morey narrate. This is a well-crafted story brought alive by the reader.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Derek Sawyer thinks he has it all - a high-salaried position, a boyfriend, a dog, even a new cabin on the lake - until a business trip with his manager and best friend, Victor, shatters his world. One night of drunken horsing around in their hotel room leads to the most intensely personal violation Derek has ever endured. As if the humiliation of working under his attacker every day isn't enough, Victor reports Derek for sexual harassment. Now he's without a job, without a boyfriend, and the mortgage on the cabin is due. Officer Russ Thomas has worked with rape victims before, and it doesn't take him long to sort out the truth in Derek's tale. With his support, Derek finally reports the crime, months after it happened. But restraining orders and lawyers further Victor's anger toward him, and even though a relationship develops between Derek and the policeman, Russ can't be there to protect him all the time. Members Reviews: Honest Violated is a well written story and a very accurate portrayal of someone whohas gone through this level of trauma. The story also touches on the additional social and legal traumas of this kind of experience, but still allows the characters a positive future. Aside from Performance which never detracted or got in the way of the story, I had a REALLY hard time deciding how to apply the star ratings. On one hand it is important to acknowledge that this Does happens and just how strong and lasting an impact it has on the survivor's life. Once it gets going, this story does that w/ grace and honesty. It seemed to me that it took half the book to really get started but then it is excellent. On the other hand I am extremely disturbed by just how often sexual violence is part of our culture's "entertainment" in books, movies and TV. Because it is honest, well written, about healing & gives voice to experiences that need to be acknowledged, I gave 5 Overall. Because the of the very slow build up & adding to the ubiquitous sexual violence, in fiction I gave the Story 3. [Yes, I understand the irony of my having purchased the book] Totally enjoyed listening to this This story was very interesting. It was about male rape which we don't often hear about, because men do not report these rapes not wanting to expose their vulnerabilities. It was very informative and revealed the criminal justice system with all of its flaws. The story was well written and I recommend it. Very tough subject handled beautifully This is a tough, tough story about a man whose identity as a man has been amazingly distorted not just once but many times over. Its bad enough that hes endured a rape at the hands of his best friend, but the fact that it was anal sex in particular strikes a chord in him due to his fathers horrible abuse. In addition to that, his boyfriend doubts him, the people at work doubt him, and frankly, he doubts himself. What makes this a good book is that it doesnt try to make anything perfect or fixed. Even at the end, its a work in progress. Though its lovely when all the ends are tied up neatly by the end of a story, its rarely realistic and this acknowledges that fact. The epilogue shows our MC two years later and hes still far from perfect.

The Protector can shift into a weredog, and the human partner is his Handler. They are incredibly rare and highly valued, but people also fear them for their mystical abilities. No Protector in living memory has outlived his Handler - until Alex Taylor. Now a widower, Alex lives a lonely half-life and faces day after day of grief with no hope for happiness in the future. When he unexpectedly bonds with the young and vibrant Handler Marcus Stephanek, Alex is angry and unwilling to leave the memory of his former Handler behind. He pushes Marcus away and tries to distance himself from their bond. But then a mysterious villain who has been secretly shadowing Alex for years sets his plan in motion. Alex and Marcus must learn to trust their bond and love each other, or risk not only their own lives but the lives of those closest to them. Members Reviews: Narration is great Any additional comments? 3 Stars (Story = 2 Stars; Narration = 4 Stars) I would have actually rated this much higher if it weren't for two things: gross stupidity and the ending. Would you like to hear of this stupidity? Well, then, kiddies, gather up close for I have another story to tell you... Our story actually begins really well. Alex Taylor is a "Protector" guardian, able to shift into dog form. Alex is super special for a great many reasons, some of which are that he first presented as a guardian at eight years old (well before other children present), he bonded with his "Handler", Theo, earlier than usual as well, but the most special thing about Alex is when his Handler (and Husband) Theo is murdered, Alex doesn't die with him. You see Handlers and Protectors usually bond sometime in their late teens, but no later than early twenties, and a kind of empathic telepathy develops. There is also a biological and neurological need for daily physical contact (doesn't have to be sex) so the pair bond is strengthened and if a Handler dies their Protector dies as well - though if a Protector dies the Handler may survive. I enjoyed the world building. It's actually quite interesting most of the time. After Alex survives the death of his Handler everyone waits for him to die. Thing is, he doesn't. So over the next three years while Alex mourns Theo he's tested regularly to give the scientists some idea as to why he survived. On one of the testing weekends Alex notices the scent trail of another Handler, Marcus Stephanek, and realizes this means he's going to bond with another. This is not joyous news. Alex is gutted by this. Marcus is ecstatic at having finally found his bond-mate, being that he is twenty-six, well past the age Handlers normally find a Protector to bond with. He's happy until Alex makes it clear that he's not a welcome bond, that Alex doesn't want Marcus. It's difficult because the pair is now bonded, no matter that neither is happy about it, and Alex is determined to shut Marcus out. That's how the story goes for a good three-quarters...with us drowning along with Alex in the grief of having lost his husband, of having this interloper in their home, and struggling against the bond, and we are additionally grieving with Marcus over being bonded to a shell of a Protector after wanting nothing more in his life that to find his other half. All of this was really well-written and flows well.

Title: Love Means No Boundaries Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-11 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Joey Sutherland has found a home with Geoff Laughton and his partner, Eli, living and working at the farm that has become a refuge after a motorcycle accident left him with a scarred face and a lot of insecurities. When Geoffs aunt Mari convinces them to take in a musician from the National Youth Symphony, Joey is reluctantly roped into picking him up, already anticipating the disgust hell see on the mans face. But Robert Edward Jameson surprises him: hes outgoing and friendly; hes willing to try just about anything around the farm; and hes blind, which goes a long way toward easing Joeys nerves. Joey and Robbie become inseparable and discover the beginnings of love. But summer is coming to an end, and Robbie will be returning to his home in Mississippi, where his family and servants see to everything he could want or need. Joey can only hope Robbie will take a chance on love and escape the boundaries that have shaped his sightless life. Members Reviews: Great Love Story What made the experience of listening to Love Means No Boundaries the most enjoyable? Sean Crisden is a great narrater What did you like best about this story? The realness. Andrew Grey writes about real people Have you listened to any of Sean Crisdens other performances before? How does this one compare? Everthing that he narrates is enjoyable. If the story is a little weak he strenghtens it with his narration Passionate, evocative, great characters! Each of the love means series has wonderfully written characters, provocative and evocative storyline, and a great message throughout of acceptance, and understanding. A wonderful passionate escape. You'll fall in love with Andrew Grey's "family"! Seeling Yourself Joey is now grown and dealing with the effects of an accident. He is a strong and hard working young man but not confident in how others seem him. Robbie comes to stay and his blindness makes the first meeting go more easily. When Robbie goes home it becomes clear to Joey how he feels and he is willing to take a chance. He also has the courage to let Robbie know how much better it could be for him to live a more independent life. It was great to see each man give the other the courage to truly seeing themselves. Handicap treated according to reality In this book I was especially looking forward to the handicap issues that would hopefully arise. I had already listened to three of his the other farm books where one has made my top three, another is a nice listen, and a third was returned because I seriously disliked the story So I had the whole spectrum to go from. While Love Means No Boundaries doesn't go on my frequent listening list it is difinetly worth checking out as it keeps the sweet romance from the Farm series while it still deals with issues sorouding blindness. I do not suffer from a handicap but sometimes it annoys me that magical solutions just show up for such things. That isn't the case in this book which pleases me. The most heart-warming part about the book was probably to experience the world and self-discovery through Robbie's eyes and the issues he had to deal with in his old settings in connection with that. Sean Crisden is a favourite narrator of mine and I have probably grown so used to his voice that I can no longer find any fault with what he reads. Even if the summary doesn't sound all that interesting I'd give it a try just to have something different by him.

Lucky for him, the man behind the wheel is Chance's best friend and onetime lover, Jaxon. Jaxon wants Chance. He has since the first moment he set eyes on the sexy librarian. Unfortunately, Chance always has bullshit going on, standing in their way. Most men would consider Chance more trouble than he's worth - not Jaxon. He can't get enough of Chance's constant drama. When Chance's life spirals out of control - the way Chance's life always seems to do - Jaxon rushes to the rescue, only to end up screwing things up...again. These two independent souls might drive each other mad, but there's no denying their love or the fiery hot passion brewing between them. If only Chance could stop lying to Jax, maybe they'd stand a chance. Undone is a short introduction to Charity Parkerson's new M/M series, Hooked. Members Reviews: Great intro to what could be another great series! What did you love best about Undone? Other than a new series with new characters? The hints of characters/places from previous books were fun. I always enjoy the way Charity is able to bring so much to a character is such a short venue. Who was your favorite character and why? Chance is just too darn cute! I love the way he can play Jackson into doing what he needs him to do. What does Hollie Jackson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? With so many men introduced into the beginning of a series that features m/m romance, Hollie does an awesome job of giving each man their own voice. You can tell who is speaking at anyone time easily. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed out loud several times. Any additional comments? Any book written by Charity Parkerson and narrated by Hollie Jackson is always an instant purchase for me. hard to pack enough of quality into a short story the story was ok. it hit all the key points- angst, shame, perceived obstacle, lust and brevity.

Maxfield Narrator: Shannon Gunn Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-27-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Re-release of 2009 novella - Fire cost Jared Kenny his home and all his memories of the man he'd loved for over half his life. But it also brought him firefighter Adam Collins and the purest blue eyes Jared had ever seen. Despite the best efforts of his department, Adam had to watch with Jared while Jared's house burned to the ground. Something about the man touched Adam and made him want to follow up and protect him. Later, when the two of them gave in to their passion, it burnt and bared them both. So Jared ran...from Adam, from his past, and from everything their future together could hold. He tried to start a new life, taking only his newfound passion for glass and his obsession for a finding a particular shade of blue, the blue of the heart of a flame. It took a near-tragedy to teach him that the blue he sought, he'd had all along...in his firefighter's eyes. Members Reviews: It was a nice book, I had a good time with it Where does Blue Fire rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the middle, It was very good, memorable enough. Perhaps not the best, but it's also very far for being the worst. I had a good time with it Would you recommend Blue Fire to your friends? Why or why not? Yes. I had a good time woth it, The story is sort of sad, but the narrator did a great job transmitting the emotions. What about Shannon Gunns performance did you like? Yes, a great job in the protray of emotion. Very appropiate and I enjoyed how nice his diction was. I have hard time with some audiobooks trying to keep track of the story becoause english is not my main lenguaje, but I didn't had any problem with his narration. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I really can't answer that question.Mostly for lack if imagination :( Any additional comments? About the narration, it was very good. It had a nice pace and one of the things I appreciate the most is a good diction that make it easy to understand. I dont generally listen to audiobooks because I get lost in the translation sometimes, most of audiobooks are narrated in English and I speak Spanish, it always requires extra attention for me to keep track on the story, but this time it was easy enough.

Title: Until September Author: Chris Scully Narrator: Michael Pauley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: As a teenager, Archie Noblesse clawed his way out of the poverty, heartache, and abuse of the reservation and left his family behind. Desperate to shake the shadow of his past, he reinvents himself as Archer Noble, an outspoken blogger and controversial author who lives only for himself. But when his beloved sister dies, Archer is saddled with guardianship of his niece and nephew. Elementary school teacher Ryan Eriksson is devastated when his best friend Marguerite is killed, leaving her two young children orphaned. Helping Archer with his new responsibilities eases his grief, but when Archer offers him custody of the children, Ryan's left with an impossible choice: get the family he's always wanted, or respect Margie's wishes and convince Archer to give parenting - and his heritage - a chance. To buy time, Ryan promises to stay for the summer, hoping that Archer will change his mind and fall for the kids. But Archer's reluctant, and the growing attraction between him and Ryan complicates matters. Legal decisions must be made, and soon, before Ryan returns to school. But with hearts involved, more than just the children's future is on the line. Members Reviews: Moving story with great narration Archer is the anti-monogamy blogger who thinks gay men are trying too hard to be straight guys and deluding themselves that marriage is for them. He also feels gays shouldnt be parents! He makes good money saying these things, too. When his sister dies, leaving him co-guardian of two small children, his world is about to be rocked. Ryan is the exact opposite of Archer. All he wants is a house, a husband, and a family. Hes a teacher and only recently out of a relationship where they were fast-tracking marriage but got de-railed because Ryan was pushing too hard, too fast. So its oil and water when Archer and Ryan meet or gas and flame! Archer is a big jerk and Ryan is pretty judgmental. They agree to disagree for the kids sake and to work on teaching Archer what he needs to know to eventually be the sole parent to the kids. Of course it doesnt really work out as planned ** I really like Chris Scullys characters. They are usually very real and three- dimensional. In this case, Chris explains all the research that went in to discussing the aboriginals in Canada and their plight and the research shows in the very well-developed characters. This story, like her others, is a slow-burn romance with not a lot of heat. There is a boat-load of sexual tension and oodles of feels developing, but she doesnt emphasize the sex as a way for these guys to get close. There is a lot of deep soul searching and a lovely growth process for both men. The children seem pretty realistic if a little too easy and the love that grows between the family is the most beautiful part of this story. Though the Epilogue doesnt leave a big window for a sequel- Id sure love to see these guys after they decided to plant roots together. We spend so much time watching them avoid each other itd be nice to see them together at least for awhile. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. 4.5 of 5 stars Audio Michael Pauley did a great job with this including the inflections to Archers voice giving him just enough other to suggest an exotic background without a cheesy accent. I think he does best with emotional stories like this.

Title: Seven Minutes in Heaven Author: Kat Fletcher Narrator: Stephanie Murphy Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-15 Publisher: Kat Fletcher Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 83 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: With her marriage in ruins and with nowhere else to go, Megan escapes to her family's summer house on Cape Cod to lick her wounds, but even in that haven from reality, she finds the past catching up with her. Enter Andi, an old friend she's all but forgotten. Sixteen years ago Andi was the independent local girl with short, blond hair and a reputation for kissing other girls. Megan's family disapproved of Andi, both for her attitude and her unapologetic sexuality, but the girls became quick friends. When Megan's cousin locked them in a closet for a game of seven minutes in heaven, it was meant to be a cruel joke to drive them apart. Instead it led to Megan's first kiss...with Andi. Now adults, neither woman has forgotten their brief but tantalizing game. Slowly they edge their way toward each other once more, but is being together in the adult world only a game...or heaven? Members Reviews: Really Good Lesbian Romance Only slightly longer than the average novella this is a lesbian love story that avoids much of the driftwood that floats into most of this genre's works. There is of course the requisite breakup; this time though not for all the usual specious reasons occurring only in romantic literature. Set on Cape Cod during the offseason, where a chance occurrence at age thirteen culminating close to two decades later this is a quick and easy lesson for fans of romance novels. Dull and overly predictable The story was too predictable and the plot boring. Girl divorces husband, moves back home, rekindles romance with high school girl crush, resistance from said high school girl for fear of broken heart and then happily ever after. Perhaps if the story was longer and had more time to develop it would be better but I found myself bored and waiting for it to end so I could look for another read. Also, the reader's voice is not distinguished enough between characters. Many times I felt as though personalities were crossing over or exaggerated too much to make a clear distinction. Made the story less believable over all. awesome!! I hate auto books but this one fucked me up and got me hooked on them know A nice time A sweet little tale, my only complaint being that the end came too soon. I wasn't ready to let go of the characters. Well written, well read, HEA, what more can you ask for? Cute Story! What made the experience of listening to Seven Minutes in Heaven the most enjoyable? I think it was overall well-done, from the writing to the performance. I really appreciate the writing, because many stories that have erotic scenes aren't well-written. This story was written beautifully. What about Stephanie Murphys performance did you like? I really like Stephanie's performance. She has good pacing and speech as well as pronunciation. Her tone throughout was really well-done and she's pleasant to listen to. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely! I was sad whenever I had to stop listening for some reason. It's a short story so I was able to listen to the entire story in 2-3 sittings, but would have finished in one if I could have. I really wanted to know what happens next to the characters. Any additional comments? I would definitely recommend this story to anyone. It's short and sweet, and heartwarming.

Maxfield Narrator: Thomas Fawley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When Jordan Jensen moves to St. Nachos he has one goal in mind: starting over. He wants to reconnect with best friends Cooper and Shawn yet is uncertain of his welcome. He has the skills to get a job, but isnt sure any prospective employer can get past the time he spent in jail for alcohol-related vehicular homicide. Hes past the worst part of his life but knows it will haunt him forever. So Jordan plans a life of quiet service. One thing he knows for sure: finding love is entirely too much to ask. On the first day of his new job, Jordan meets Ken Ashton. Ken has every reason to hate Jordan for his past and only one to seek him out: Ken's baseball career was shattered in a drunk-driving accident. But for some reason he cant explain, Ken needs Jordans touch and finds healing within Jordans warmth and strength. Jordan wants to give Ken everything his new partner needs. Without entirely understanding it, Ken and Jordan develop a powerful emotional and erotic connection, but Ken must help Jordan find the faith to trust it. Unexpected help comes from the people of Santo Ignacio - and the town itself - a place where Physical Therapy can be a path toward spiritual healing and powerful, passionate love. Publishers Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations some listeners may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices. Members Reviews: Frustrating story This is Jordan's book. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first. Although I appreciated his struggle with coming to terms with his past, his back and forth with Ken was eye rolling. I thought Ken was a jerk and treated Jordan pretty bad. I get he was all self-pitying because of his accident, but that only went so far. And the fact that Jordan kept acknowledging the bad treatment but went back to him time and time again drove me crazy. But I gritted my teeth hoping it would get better. It didn't. The narrator did a good job bringing the romance to life and it was great visiting Cooper and Shawn again, but the story just didn't work for me.

I loved how compassionate and love Phoenix is and how he wanted to take care of Wade. I loved how sweet Wade was. Which scene was your favorite? The ending was my favorite. I loved that Phoenix found and rescued Wade again and that Phoenix told Wade he wanted to take him home. Any additional comments? The chemistry between the characters was hot!! I can't wait for more!! Very Cliche' ever I can't. Its just so ........ Cliche. It was predictable and cringe worthy. Again, I can't.

But Hunter is determined to get his Ari back. Bonds are put to the test and unexpected alliances are made as Hunter and his clan set out to protect their own and end the spreading heartache. Members Reviews: Nick and Charlie - great combo First you MUST have read book one for this book to mean much to you. We met Hunter and Ari in An Intrepid Trip To Love, the mates who couldnt mate because of politics and were then separated by an evil mother and a clan war. This book is about their back-story and their coming together. ** Charlie Cochet has to be one of my favorite authors! She is so witty, so giddy and yet careful with her dialog. I adore her characters and find her creativity astonishing. I was so glad to see that she didnt keep Ari and Hunter apart for long in this book and was grateful for the back-story it was sexy and hilarious at the same time. The evil in this book is REALLY evil and I am looking forward to seeing more about this clan war and possibly another match with our wolf leader in the future. audio Nick J Russo is a fantastic narrator. He has a great sense of pacing and his voice is so easy to listen to. He gives Ari and Hunter different voices and makes this a great way to enjoy this story.

Title: Lancelot and the Wolf Subtitle: The Knights of Camelot Book 1 Author: Sarah Luddington Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 07-28-15 Publisher: Mirador Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: "King Arthur has dominated my life for decades and now I am banished from his side. I am not certain either of us can survive this torment..." Lancelot, the greatest Knight of Camelot is almost flogged to death, exiled, and stripped of the King's grace. Separated from the man he loves and the kingdom he calls home, he travels from England to Europe to begin a lonely, desperate life when he meets someone who will alter his perspective forever. Suddenly, he is trapped into a fate which forces his return to England. He must fight to regain his honour and his King's life. From a world beyond ours but bound to us throughout time, the Fey hunt Arthur. They want him dead and only Lancelot can save him. Together they travel from Camelot, to Avalon and into Albion on a quest to save Arthur's soul. They must also retrieve Merlin and redeem a love which both men find hard to bear. Lancelot and the Wolf is an adventure story of the old school, all sword and sorcery. It is also the tale of two men who have loved each other beyond all reason. This book will open your eyes to the real meaning of knightly chivalry, sacrifice and love. Lancelot is the bravest of men but can he understand what it means to love Arthur with more than just words... This is beautiful romance story which shows a new side to the love between Lancelot du Lac and Arthur Pendragon. Members Reviews: Fabulous. A wonderful beginning to what will hopefully prove an epic and incredibly sexy series. Lancelot is the first-person narrator of this very grown-up spin on the Camelot saga. Lance is torn between his love of a mysterious new hanger-on named Else and his long-denied passion for his King. In the novel, Lance has passionate encounters with both men and women and Luddington writes love scenes with great skill. The characters fit beautifully into the Arthurian world and her take on Lancelot and Arthur have the reader very invested in the characters and their relationship. The narration by Joel Leslie is excellent - brooding, sexy and with great character range. Not strictly m/m erotica - but a complex and exciting fantasy that delivers. A sexy, smart tale fit for a King. A surprising delight. Sarah Luddington has taken all the latent sexy qualities of the Camelot legend and bumped them up with amazing results. The story is told from Lancelot's point of view, which I loved. The character is dark, dangerous and very, very sexy. The character relationships are complex and lay the foundation work for what could be a very exciting epic saga. Lance has amorous adventures with women while trying to escape a life-long forbidden obsession with Arthur. The writing is sensual, exciting and while there are great steamy moments - the storytelling and character development is what leaves the reader hungry for more. If you're turned off by m/m romance then this isn't the Camelot for you - but for readers like me, it's got Merlin's magic touch. The narration is excellent - he provides clear, strong characterizations with humor and right touch of wry wit. Bi Lance and his passionate king in epic tale. Would you listen to Lancelot and the Wolf again? Why? I would... I loved the narration. It was a great story presented entirely as an internal POV from Lancelot.

He just needs his big break. So when he hears that Blue Horizon Records is holding auditions looking for the next big thing, Danny jumps at the chance. It doesn't turn out exactly as he imagined, though. Instead of getting solo contracts, Danny and four other guys are put into a boy band. Innocent, idealistic Elliot Price thinks he's headed for college. An impulsive decision to sing in the local talent search changes all that. A bigwig producer happens to see him, hands him a business card, and turns Elliot's life upside down. Elliot and Danny are close from the beginning. They love all the guys, but it's different with each other. Soon their friendship turns into feelings more intense than either of them can ignore. The other three boys only want Danny and Elliot to be happy, but when their management team and record label discover two of their biggest tween heartthrobs are in a relationship, they're less than pleased. Danny and Elliot find themselves in the middle of a circle of lies and cover-ups, all with one bottom line-money. They have to stay strong and stick together if they don't want to lose themselves... and each other. Members Reviews: Didn't really work for me. Any additional comments? I'm going to be honest with you - the story is well written, the narration is really well done, and it's got all the parts that make a whole including a bit of angst that to spice things up. However, my review is going to be totally subjective because I have to be honest and say this story bored the ever-loving stuffing out of me. Seriously. It's almost twelve hours long - and it felt. every. single. bit. of. it. Further, I was blown away by how immature these characters were, and by "immature" I mean that both literally and figuratively. Danny and Elliot are supposed to be eighteen year olds. I swear I have never met two eighteen year olds who act as clueless, giggle-prone, and child-like as these two boys. I take that back, I know an Amish kid who's like that. But these kids were raised in modern day California. They act far more like they're fourteen, maybe fifteen? I kept thinking, maybe O'Shea wrote it for them being really young, but she was forced to edit them older later because of the (tame) sexy times? Which, that was another thing - the not quite fade-to-black sex? Grr. I know so many people who gush over this story. GUSH, I tell you! So I don't know, maybe now that I'm pushing forty I just don't get the YA side anymore? I normally LOVE YA/NA, including O'Shea's own Unintended (which, BTW the characters are also eighteen, and behave far more maturely than Danny and Elliot do). So I don't know. The characters were just really "young", the whole beard plot really annoyed me, the producer being the ultimate bad guy struck me as cliché, and everyone in their inner circle and friends being okay with them being gay struck me as inauthentic. Maybe I'm just too old for this? It just didn't speak to me at all. Then again, maybe it just got me on bad day? Because the bones are here.

Members Reviews: A bit of BDSM added to the series Alex is the teams tracker. He gets seriously injured in a rescue and is facing a lawsuit! He meets Leo in the hospital hes the cousin of Tony and a famous playboy chef. As per usual, once Leo spots Alex he instantly knows hes the one but Alex wavers a bit. ** This is a little different from the others in that Leo and Alex have a serious D/s relationship too, so they have to work out those particulars in addition to the normal getting to know you stuff. I love this series and Darcy Stark never disappoints in his narrations. This wasnt my favorite only because I really dont like the dynamics of BDSM even though its done to only a light degree here. 4 of 5 stars

Maxfield Narrator: Caleb Dickenson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 05-07-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: There's no leverage like seduction...until love takes a bite of his plans. As the Indiana Jones of historical erotica, there is no document existing - or just rumored to exist - Adin Tredeger can't unearth. Why he would risk the biggest coup of his career to join the mile-high club is beyond him. But the disarming, dark-eyed man who somehow enters Adin's locked airplane washroom has him completely nude and coming apart. All without a whimper of protest. From that moment Adin and Donte Fedelta engage in an international battle of wit and cunning. The prize - a priceless, 500-year-old journal with illustrations so erotic it could make the Marquis de Sade blush. Yet Donte's desire for the journal goes far beyond simple possession. The undead nobleman wrote it. And he's not above using every trick in his otherworldly arsenal - including seduction - to get it back. Chemistry draws them together even as fortune tugs them apart. But when a third party joins the chase, they must unite to fight an enemy with a deadly goal - to erase Donte from history. This audiobook is a rerelease of a previously published book, with substantial rewrites. This title was originally released as Notturno. Warning: This product contains one cocky college professor, one centuries-old vampire who is out to show him who's at the top of the food chain, and red wine. Because it goes so well with humble pie. Members Reviews: Better in audio format Any additional comments? 4.5 stars I read the ebook several months before the audio version was released. It was 3.5 story for me, which I upped to 4 stars in my review. Upon experiencing it on audio, I'm upping the rating to 4.5 stars for a perfect narration that truly brought the story to life. I still appreciated the nicely developed characters and colorful secondary characters, that it was very well written and edited, and was dark without being morose. The long journal passages from Notturno that nearly bored me to death in the book took on a wholly different light when read aloud in a decent Italian accent. They were so beautiful presented this way and changed my perception of Donte. More enjoyable in audio format! Well I loved it!! It was an easy listen good drama action a great start to the series I hope all the books will be in audio... Narration was good really enjoyed, as this is first time I have heard from this narrator I was a bit iffy in buying but have to say I really was happy with the work he did. I'm not sure what the other reviews were about, yes it wasn't the best story for this author but what do you expect for vampire story they are all corny when it comes down to the HEA, I would listen or read again I think it's just the beginning for these characters and there is so much more to tell.. Awesome work please put the rest of this series in audio as you can't have the teaser at the end of this and not finish.. Worth the $$$ Good, not Great! This was a good m/m vampire story... not great... not even a repeat listen. There was a fair amount of action, but the romance was... well lets just say boring... Even the bad guy turned out to be a decent guys... so eh... IDK... maybe a credit... not a sale or even a buy... Narration was ok...

Late one night, Ollie catches Hank Mellinger, a streetwise hood down on his luck, about to rob his car. Ollie soon discovers that appearances aren't necessarily what they seem. Hank isn't a criminal caught red-handed, but a hungry young man trying to make a life for himself and the four-year-old niece he's trying desperately to take care of. Instead of calling the cops, Ollie offers Hank a job and a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Together, they discover they can really cook...and that their shared passion for food just might lead to a passion for each other. Members Reviews: a little slow but a great story I liked the story and the recipes. but I felt it moved a little slow. I think it was the narration more than the story it self.

Even soul mates can stumble on hard times and have marital difficulties. At 47, both are successful professionals. Jaina is an associate professor in a renowned school of social work. Zane is the pastor of a large congregation. They have two kids, one in juvenile detention, and the other anxious. When Zane joins the faculty of a seminary, in addition to her full-time job responsibilities, she's short on time, and neglects Jaina. Enter Amelia, a new faculty member in Jaina's building. She's new in town, young, and very pretty. She's also not at all how she seems. Oh, and she's very interested in Jaina. When an argument with Zane causes Jaina to storm out angry, she reaches out to Amelia. Of course, she seizes the opportunity. And for a moment of indiscretion, Jaina could lose everything. Members Reviews: Great follow up to Soul Mates. Would you consider the audio edition of For a Moment's Indiscretion to be better than the print version? Not sure, I enjoyed the book and the recording. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes, it is a great story. Have you listened to any of Emily Beresfords other performances before? How does this one compare? I have a few a few of her recordings, she is fabulous in all of them. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me cry, it was heartbreaking, but finished very well. Any additional comments? Another great book by Ms Moll, I have read all of her books, and this one is one of my favorites. Enjoyable. Any additional comments? I LOVE Emily Beresford's narration. Great job with the narration. There is a lot of unhappiness and angst in this book. Not a lot of lightness. Excellent audiobook I love how KA Moll managed to write a complex story in such an accessible and entertaining way. The cheating happens in the first few moments and thereafter it becomes a thriller about stalking and a drama about finding your feet and rediscovered love: this was Moll's best work to date and I loved every moment of it.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-16 Publisher: MadeMark Media Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: First came Murder at Pride Lodge, where murder met mayhem in the Pennsylvania countryside. Next was Pride and Perilous, the collision of high art and low death at Manhattan's Katherine Pride Gallery. And now, the Pride Trilogy concludes with Death by Pride. It's Gay Pride weekend, the most festive weekend of the year in New York City. Hundreds of thousands of partygoers arrive to show the world how to have a good time. Stalking the party is the most successful serial killer the city has ever seen. He claims his victims in threes and has just begun his newest spree. Detective Linda Sikorsky comes to town to visit Kyle Callahan and his husband Danny Durban. It's her first Pride Parade and may well be her last. Harmless fun turns to terror in a frantic effort to stop the killer once the first body floats to the river's edge. This time it's personal, and this time one of them might not make it out alive. Members Reviews: Scary good! OK, so I reeeeally hate getting into the head of a sadistic serial killer. Aside from that, this was a tightly crafted incredibly engrossing suspenseful mystery which totally bypassed the NYPD. The denouement was a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad, nail biter! K.C. Kelly is simply too good at audio portraying the villain. He is very good at capturing the essences of the other characters as well. Death by Pride: Kyle Callahan Mysteries, Book 4 This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. I am sorry to say I missed the first two books in this trilogy. I approached this as a stand alone since I didn't find out about the first two books until I finished this one. The characters were personable, even the antagonist could be likable if you ignore the fact he was a predator and serial killer. The author hides nothing from the listener, while building suspense to the end.Lots of twists in the plot to keep the story flowing. The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. A stunning performance of a fine mystery! What made the experience of listening to Death by Pride the most enjoyable? K.C. Kelly's narration quite frankly was brilliant! His performance and inflections of the characters was spot on, but it was his creepy, surreal depiction of serial killer, Dietrich Keller that brought this novel to life! What was one of the most memorable moments of Death by Pride? K.C. Kelly's performance of psycho serial killer, Dietrich Keller. Have you listened to any of K.C. Kellys other performances before? How does this one compare? No, but I will certainly seek him out! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Frankly, every reading that involved serial killer, Dietrich Keller. Any additional comments? A well written, perfectly spaced mystery told in three-povs; Kyle Callahan, an amateur sleuth; his partner/husband Danny Durban, and owner of a high end restaurant that figures centrally in the story; and the diabolical, psycho serial killer, Dietrich Keller. Highly recommended. Gripping Mark McNease is growing as an author. I have enjoyed his books but this one really is a page turner. Where as the protagonist is typically in the right place at the right time for mystery solving, he instead seeks out this mystery making it more believable.

Or will she face losing Charlie instead? Members Reviews: Not what I expected I am not to picky when it comes to lesbian romance stories but this was by far my least favorite. so predictable and annoying. I found myself rolling my eyes every few mins. Good story. It was a good story. A little cheesy at times but overall pretty good. Nice ending. Can't do it. Can...not...listen to this Going to ask for my first refund ever. There's no way I can listen to this. Giving the book three stars because I can't submit without something but I didn't listen to it so can't go below the average mark Hate this narrator I need to start paying attention to the narrator before I buy an audio book, because I'll never buy another read by this one. A medium rating was the best I could give the story because the narrator irritated me so much, I couldn't finish listening to judge whether the story is good or not. Maybe I'll revise the rating after I read the printed version for myself. This narrator made me feel like a third grader at story time. Her sing-song tone never changed, even when the two main characters were dealing with the death of a patient. To make matters worse, she gave one character a girlish voice when the character described was anything but childish. fab book loved this book, narrator good, would recommend it and defo read it again, well done

Title: Conquer the Flames Subtitle: Lang Downs #4 Author: Ariel Tachna Narrator: William James Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 83 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Thorne Lachlan knows a thing or two about getting himself safely out of a blaze. For years he fought in the world's hot spots, a commando with the Australian Army. Now, retired, he fights flames for the Royal Fire Service. When a grassfire brings him to Lang Downs, the next sheep station in danger, Thorne meets Ian Duncan and sparks fly that neither man can put out. But both men have ghosts from the past that stand in the way of moving beyond mutual attraction. While Thorne longs for the home he could share with Ian at Lang Downs, he fears his own instability might make him a danger to others. And Ian's always believed that the foster care nightmare he escaped before coming to Lang Downs would make any relationship impossible. Trust doesn't come easily to Thorne or Ian until the fire's aftermath forces them to see past the scars keeping them both from healing. Members Reviews: Hopefully the final instalment. My issue with the final (hopefully) instalment, is believability. How many more gay romances can one sheep station have? The chances that the two preteen boys in book one, would grow up gay and in love by book four, seem pretty remote to me. Fantastic twists of fate aside, the writing and narration are as good as the first. You'd be better served wrapping up your Lang Downs series at the third book in my opinion. On the plus side, the narrator finally gets "Dry-as-a-bone" right. Bye bye "drizza-bone". Angst, passion, fire( literally) and True love The Langs Down Series just gets better and better. This is book 4 and though each book has new characters it does focus on a recurring theme and characters and is probably best read in order. Trust me it is worth the read. Conquer the flames is about Thorne an ex-military man that has been wounded and retired working as a firefighter. He is sent to warn and access the help needed on the Lang Downs Station and finds himself drawn to the men, the story behind them and the land. He hasn't felt welcomed or found a home since he was eighteen and joined the military and is surprised he is welcomed here especially with his PSTD. This is Ian's story. He is one of the original characters, a crew boss and Niel's best friend. Until now I wasn't sure of his orientation. ( well, I kinda was since I had snuck peeks at all the blurbs...so I knew his story was coming up). I absolutely fell in love with Ian. His story is quite sad and I love a good survivor story and man is his good. William James does a fabulous job narrating this series. He brings each character to life, and can really add the excitement to the already fabulous story. He makes the sex scenes breathtaking as well. If you like stories set in Australia, sheep stations, Jackaroo, Firefighters, military men, lots of angst, and a very sweet romance this one is fabulous. Favorite so far! I received a free copy of this book to read for Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review. I have to say that this was by far my favorite installation of this series. I absolutely fell in love with and felt for both Thorne and Ian.

Now that their son is off to college, they want to put their days of routine, vanilla sex behind them and bring back some of that spark. Realizing that they're emptynesters, Trevor begins to notice their age difference. He suddenly feels old and unsure of himself, and isn't confident Derrick still desires him. When Trevor decides to keep his health issues and gray hairs down there to himself, Derrick is hurt by his partner's secretive behavior and thinks Trevor must be having an affair. Nothing could be further from the truth, but Trevor doesn't know how to communicate his fears to his partner. He desperately wants to reconnect with Derrick and rev up their sex life, but will it be enough to reclaim their marital bliss? Members Reviews: short cute little angsty story Any additional comments? A bit short for my liking, but otherwise a cute little story mostly focused on sex and insecurities about growing older. First time... This book was cute. It had a good story line, kept you wanting to know/hear the rest. And The narrator did a good job. Glad I took the time to listen to this one. Short and Sweet I love how this story is short and romantic. Even though it's less than three hours long, nothing is lost in the plot. Charlie Belmont did a great job narrating this book. I would highly recommend it. Delightful Short Story This is a great little short story about the fears and insecurity of an established couple when they become "empty nesters." It is really sweet and I enjoyed listening to it. The narrator did a excellent job, but Charlie Belmont always does; he is one of my favorites. I wouldn't use a credit for it, but if it is on sale, worth it. Thank you Charlie Belmont I LOOOOOOVED this book. Truly. I did. Enter Trevor and Derrick. They've been married for several years and Trevor is hitting the big 4-0 and he suddenly starts to feel old. Derrick is 6 years younger and completely unaware of Trevor's fears. So, the story goes back and forth with Derrick and Trevor giving their perspective of different issues, fears, wants, desires. I cannot say enough about this wonderfully written story. I was entranced. K.C. Burn enveloped me into this world where I felt like I was experiencing EVERYTHING with both of them. The love and intense feeling that each had for each other was so beautiful. It made me love how people who've been married for a while could still feel that intense love for one another. And isn't it important to retain the passion and lust in a relationship when you've been together for a few years? I do have to say that the video scene. *sigh* had me perspiring, but also feeling a bit sheepish. Perhaps I'm just not ready for sex tapes. LOL But, the sentiment was appreciated. HA. I laughed whole heartily at so many scenes and as I was listening to it on audio, I know people couldn't help looking at me as I laughed out loud like a crazy person. OH WELL. They didn't know what they were missing!!! Charlie Belmont is a fantastic reader!!! He can come whisper in my ear anytime! I for one will be reading more from K. C. Burn. Thankyoumuch. Wonderful. Invigorating read.

Body and Blood Audiobook by Michael Schiefelbein

Title: Body and Blood Subtitle: A Mystery Author: Michael Schiefelbein Narrator: Soren Grey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 04-26-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: As a 16-year-old Catholic seminarian, Chris Sieb had a deep crush on fellow student Jack Canston. Now, 25 years after parting ways, Jack has transfered to the Kansas City diocese where he once again encounters Chris - now Father Sieb - a devoted priest and closeted gay man. After seeing each other for the first time, the two rekindle their boyhood yearnings, beginning a secret relationship. Their reverie is brief, however, abruptly shaken when another closeted priest in the diocese, a former classmate of the two, dies suddenly, an apparent suicide. Shortly thereafter a letter arrives at the archbishop's office claiming that more was going on than anyone ever expected. As his secret affair continues, Chris begins to realize there is something horribly wrong with Jack, some dark secret he's withholding, one somehow connected to their deceased classmate - and that the threat it represents is closer than he could ever guess. Now his one chance to survive lies in finally uncovering the truth. Members Reviews: Intelligent and emotional mystery The story involves two Catholic priests who met and fell in love as teens at seminary, who are reunited in their mid-30s. Can they have a relationship as adults? What would be the consequences if they do? The context is one of a growing anti-gay priest witch hunt following the exposure of child abuse. It seems that gay priests had been quite well accepted until now, so long as they were celibate, but they were to become scapegoats. As the two lovers reunite, there are many secrets that come to light, and there are mysteries that abound, which mostly stem from the shadows caused by hypocrisy, fear of exposure, and so on. Different priests respond in different and interesting ways to the challenge presented by being a gay member of a homophobic institution. These in some ways mirror the different approaches taken by the Church itself at different times and in different contexts. Some attempt to reform the church and change the rules. Others are deeply troubled by breaking vows and of perpetuating damaging lies. Some feel they must leave, others can maintain a dissonance between their words and actions, adopting a twisted legalistic approach to the letter rather than spirit of the rules. The book is intelligent, well written, and emotionally engaging. The narration is great too. It came up as a recommendation based on my collection of MM books, but this book is of much higher quality than the usual MM fare. It is harder to find quality literary fiction that involves gay characters on audible than it is to find pulp MM genre romance, unfortunately. But this book certainly deserves much greater prominence among intelligent readers interested in MM relationships.

Good stories with stereotypical tropes. You can always count on a good fluffy romance with this line. Have you listened to any of Johnny Macks other performances before? How does this one compare? No This is my first. If you could take any character from Stranded with Desire out to dinner, who would it be and why? Maine. I would like to see why he hid all these years and how he felt about who did the mystery and why they did it. I would also like to ask him more about his and Colby's future. Any additional comments? Stranded with Desire is a good story with the Boss/ Coworker trope, survival trope and a touch of mystery. Its all pretty stereotypical and easy to figure out but that is what this line is, just a fun, fluffy romance easy to read and enjoy line. In other words with this line, you know what you are getting. I love Rick R Reed ad Vivien Dean so you also know the story is well written and enjoyable as well. Maine is running the company his brother wants to run. Maine is off o a business trip with his personal assistant when he is called to come back a little early and not tell anyone. The weather is bad but the pilot says they can make the flight, yet there is an issue and the plane crashes. Maie and Colby survive but are stranded alone in the mountains and have to find their way home. They also find that thier secret fantasies are harder to hide. Johnny Mack's narration was good. The voices clear and pacing good as well. If you like Boss/Coworker, coming out, mystery suspense, a light romance with an HEA you will like this 5 stars = I freaking LOVED this audiobook!!! I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen and review for Wicked Reads. Stranded with Desire has a bit more of an edge to it than the previous Dreamspun Desires books Ive either read or listened to. Then again, when the main characters nearly die in a plane crash and then have to survive the wilderness, even if only for a day or two, it shouldnt have surprised me. What did surprise me was that the authors didnt go straight to the happily ever after once Colby and Maine were rescued. Nor did they make Maines decision as to whether or not it was time for him to come out of the closet, an easy one.

Touchy Subjects Audiobook by Emma Donoghue

Title: Touchy Subjects Subtitle: Stories Author: Emma Donoghue Narrator: John Cormack, Daniel Coonan, Caroline Lennon, Maggie Mash, Jennifer Woodward Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In this sparkling collection of 19 stories, the best-selling author of Slammerkin returns to contemporary affairs, exposing the private dilemmas that result from some of our most public controversies. A man finds God and finally wants to father a child - only his wife is now 42 years old. A coach's son discovers his sexuality on the football field. A roommate's bizarre secret liberates a repressed young woman. From the unforeseen consequences of a polite social lie to the turmoil caused by the hair on a woman's chin, Donoghue dramatizes the seemingly small acts upon which our lives often turn. Many of these stories involve animals and what they mean to us, or babies and whether to have them; some replay biblical plots in modern contexts. With characters old, young, straight, gay, and simply confused, Donoghue dazzles with her range and her ability to touch lightly but delve deeply into the human condition. Members Reviews: Lovely, Diverse Collection of Stories Of Donoghue's short story collections to date, I think this is the best. "Touchy Subjects" offers 19 takes on contemporary topics from babies and family life to art, writing, brief encounters - sexual and non-sexual - and death. Some stories are poignant, some are laugh-out-loud funny, one is deliciously erotic, all are thoughtful and entertaining. The diversity of topics and moods is what made this one so satisfying for me. Among my favorite stories: the title story "Touchy Subjects" involves a male-female rendezvous in a hotel with a surprising twist; "Pluck" reveals how one man reacts to something really annoying about his lover; "The Sanctuary of Hands," is about a lonely tourist finding unexpected companionship in the caves of southern France; and "Speaking in Tongues" is a hot story about a one night stand told cleverly from the alternating viewpoints of two people in the grips of desire. "Touchy Subjects" is a great intro to Donoghue in terms of her style and range. Like all her work, it exhibits real depth and understanding of people at the same time that it thoroughly entertains. The writing is simple and clear and should be accessible to all readers. I highly recommend it. Also, it's a great gift for a loved one's birthday or the holidays. Donoghue's other collections includeAstray,The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits: StoriesandKissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins(fairy tales). **TOP NOTCH PROSE ** If you are looking at this review to consider reading a new author for you, what have you waited for? If you are her to read another Donoghue book, why do you hesitate? Irish born, Canadian Emma Donoghue is simply put, fabulous!! For me she is up there with or above the word smiths like Thomas Sanchez that are not widely known. READ THIS AUTHOR!! TOUCHY SUBJECTS is a collection of short stories, amazing little tales about life and discovery. Start here then maybe HOOD or SLAMMERKIN ( a classic already), or THE ROOM all wonderful books. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Magnificent! Emma Donoghue's latest collection of short stories is extraordinary. Each story is a perfectly polished gem, with the depth of characterization and emotion that you would expect from a great novel. And she's funny, too.

Title: The Bridge: Trolls Subtitle: The Bridge, Book 1 Author: Erik Schubach Narrator: Hollie Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-14 Publisher: Erik Schubach Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 122 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Evangeline Kane is thrust into a world and a role she never asked for. She finds herself questioning her sanity as she finds herself bound to a bridge as its Troll when the previous champion died in her arms. The gateway from the Under-Veil to the city of Cincinnati lies unprotected, open to malicious fae intent on chaos and corruption of the mortals that dwell in it, if she does not stand against them. Members Reviews: Fantastic book What made the experience of listening to The Bridge: Trolls the most enjoyable? Hollie Jackson is one of the best narrators going combine her with Erik Schubachs story telling and you have a winner. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bridge: Trolls? It's all about the "Cow Tipping" What does Hollie Jackson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I have read the book and the narration adds a new and exciting layer to the story. Who was the most memorable character of The Bridge: Trolls and why? Kane, but Rupert is a close second. Because they rock. Worth every penny.. Erik's done it again, I can't recommend his books highly enough, if The Bridge: Trolls interested you I strongly recommend Drakon. If Scifi is more your thing Return of the Asgard will definitely be for you, I'm personally a huge fan of the Music of the Soul contemporary romance series and I can't wait to see more of Eriks books available in audio, spend a credit you won't regret it. Another great book from Erik Schubach. This book was great. And it was a fun read since I'm from Cincinnati, I found myself looking for Trolls and fays while out and about in the city. Surprised This is not the first time I have said that a book written by Schubach I can say I truly like. This book took me by surprise and I love it when a book does that. Happy to say Schubach and Jackson has done it again. Such a cool concept! Mr Schubach has a very particular style and many of his characters can be a little too similar at times but I absolutely adore them all the same. This is a pleasant change from the Music of the Soul series and different from the Fairytale series and I love the concept and characters. I think I'm pretty much in love with Hollie Jackson. She has a great voice and she always nails the characters. I can (and have) listen to her voice all day. All in all I smiled alot and that's what I hope for when I pick up one of Erik Schubachs books.

Title: Ironhearted Subtitle: Hope Cove, Book 3 Author: Cate Ashwood Narrator: John Orr Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Haydn Prescott stood by and watched his friends fall in love, something he hopes never happens to him. It's too much drama. He just wants a hot guy to roll around with every once in a while. No muss, no fuss. Out for a night of dancing, he meets Trevor Ryan and the two are explosive together. The next morning, Haydn wakes up alone. Trevor is gone and Haydn thinks he's seen the last of him...until months later when Trevor walks into Haydn's bakery in Hope Cove. Entanglements and complications ooze from Trevor, but Haydn can't ignore him - Trevor won't let him. Haydn always believed he wanted to be free and single forever, but now he's torn: Does he want to be with Trevor, or should he play it safe and stick to what's worked? Members Reviews: What the heck happened to Hayden? Although I love this series I have to say I was disappointed in this 3rd book. Hayden was one of my favorite characters in the 1st book. He was confident, flamboyant and seemed to believe and want love. In this book he came off as an insecure, immature, sex starved twink who is running from love. And there is much more sex in this than the previous books, which transformed the story from sweet to something else for me. Usually this kind of "afraid to love" storyline comes with some past trauma, but not here. The reasons for his antics seems really weak. Trevor is a great character but a little too perfect, if you know what I mean. He puts up with a lot and still comes back for more. Overall, boring and disappointing; no drama at all. The narrator was the only thing that made this bearable. John Orr knocks the narration out of the park! Any additional comments? Once again, John Orr knocks the narration out of the park! This was, by far, my favorite of the series. Seeing snarky, sarcastic Haydn fall in love was worth every fail and flailing moment. Party boy Haydn's best friends have all gone the way of coupledom and he's determined he won't be lost on that ship. One night stands and hook-ups are more than fine with him because he's seen his share of "crazy in love" and wants NO part of it - thank you very much! Trevor Ryan is different from all Haydn's other hook-ups when he first gives Haydn the best night of sex he's ever had. Ever. Then when Trevor keeps coming back around for more, it starts to melt that icy reserve of Haydn's. Because even though Haydn is determined that he won't fall into the trappings of a relationship, he finds himself falling in love with both Trevor and his daughter, Violet. OH! And the sex... well, the SEX is HOTTER THAN HOT! Then, of course, there's some miscommunication... Yet, even the miscommunication in this installment didn't dampen my enjoyment. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but it was the extremely awesome sexy times and FANTASTIC narration that put me over the edge into loving it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Love the narrator! Have you listened to any of John Orrs other performances? How does this one compare? John has to be one of my fave narrators. He keeps a good pace that's not too slow, which a lot of other narrators are guilty of. He didn't overdue character voices. Excellent job!

Fire Inside Audiobook by Dawn Douglas

Title: Fire Inside Author: Dawn Douglas Narrator: Randy Fuller Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: After 10 years as an active-duty marine, Captain Eric Ramos is rejoining civilian life. His first job is chauffeuring, assisting, and generally keeping track of NBA young gun Tyler Haley. Tyler's had a rough few months, and his team owner is convinced he needs some hand-holding if he's going to keep delivering wins for the St. Louis Fire Foxes. Instead of the arrogant, overprivileged athlete Eric expected, Tyler is a big, blond, 23-year-old who needs more than just an employee to keep him in line. While taking care of Tyler, Eric changes from employee to friend to something more. And when Eric realizes that something is burning the kid up from the inside out, he's determined to find a way to help him before Tyler's carefully constructed facade turns to ash. Members Reviews: Loved the book, enjoyed the audio version. Would you listen to Fire Inside again? Why? Probably not. Not to say it was bad, there are just so many, many, more audio's in my library that I enjoyed more. Who was your favorite character and why? Ramos, his tone very much matched his rugged exterior and the way I pictured him when I read the book. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes, it just didn't match the age for Tyler. If you could take any character from Fire Inside out to dinner, who would it be and why? Ramos, he's sexy Any additional comments? E-book review from June 2014 Short, Sexy and Steamy! My three favorite colors!! Retired Marine Eric Ramos is taking on civilian life as the personal assistant/bodyguard for a Professional Basketball player that hasn't had the best of luck with his staff. After fighting for our country as a marine, suffering from PTSD and dealing with 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military... Eric is pretty sure he can handle one spoiled basketball player. Boy does he have his work cut out for him. From the first meeting Eric is mesmerized with the tall, lithe basketball player with white blonde curly hair and sad eyes. Tyler Haley is very much like a child. Perhaps growing up in the system robbed him of something that he is now starving for, a life unlived. Eric quickly learns how Tyler works, his little ticks and what sends him over the edge. Tyler suffers from panic attacks and he is oddly very shy and withdrawn. Over the first few weeks that Eric and Tyler work in close quarters, Tyler stars to let down his guard and get more comfortable with Ram (what Tyler calls Eric). Little by little Eric begins to peel back the layers that Tyler hides under and they get under one another's skin. But just when Eric thinks that he's figured out how to care for Tyler and keep him safe and happy, the damn bursts. The one promise Eric made to himself, that he wouldn't fall for his client, is about to become a very easy promise to break. I loved everything about this little story! Eric is this large and in charge semper fi ex marine that storms into Tyler's life and makes Tyler feel something he never thought he could feel, safe and comfortable. Tyler is a conundrum. Very strong and confident on the court but so childlike and insecure at heart. When you learn Tyler's story, what he went through growing up, it will break your heart.

Once upon a Summer Audiobook by Bridgette Jensen

Title: Once upon a Summer Subtitle: A Western Lesbian Romance Author: Bridgette Jensen Narrator: TJ Richards Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-16 Publisher: FamiMK Media & Publishing, LLC Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Charlie Brooks is used to the city life - not the slow, easy pace of small-town Wyoming. She's going to have to get used to it if she's going to last the summer in this tutoring job she's just taken, but maybe there are a few good reasons to stay. First and foremost, there's Sally Sinclair. A training veterinarian who's a ray of light in the otherwise super-conservative mountain town, Charlie can't get enough of her company. Trouble is, for all her liberal views, Sally's still holding out for Prince Charming instead of Princess Charlotte. Can Charlie stand the suffocating, claustrophobic pressure of closeted life in Bingham - and is it even worth it? Will Sally ever stop looking for Mr. Right and notice that Mrs. Right is right in front of her? It all remains to be seen. All Charlie knows for sure is that it's going to be one hell of a summer. Members Reviews: Really Good Author We, our little group here, all loved the writer's others works on Audible, North Star in particular. That made getting this one fait accompli. Although Ms. Jensen isn't at her best here, her skills as a writer keep this one at a level that make it a good listen. When it comes to romance, I found the storyline of Once Upon A Summer pretty weak, the main storyline being the relationship between teacher Charlie Brooks and her eight year old student Luke. This wouldn't have been an issue either were it not for the ridiculously unrealistic ending and the feeling that the ending having been written at the beginning of the creative process was a difficult place to get to; thus the awkwardness of the narrative in getting there. This is the fourth book I've purchased by this writer and is the content the weakest of the four, however with this author it speaks more about the other selections than it does this one; while falling short of her previous efforts this is still a good listen. Good book Good book really well narrated by TJ. pity the ending jumped so far a head Great short. This was a very different short. I've not had the opportunity to listen to a lot of Lesbian writing, but I'm not shy. So this was a great short, but it was just that. I could really see that this could be something much longer. However, I enjoyed both the narration and the story. Of course, it was a little exotic, and the characters were deep, which really made them stick in my mind because in a short you don't always expect them to be. Well done to both the writer and TJ because together this was very entertaining. I'll be looking for more from both writer and narrator. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

One Promotion. Two Applicants. The Alpha's 9 Inches. Who Wants It Badly Enough? Audiobook

Who Wants It Badly Enough? Author: R.P. James Narrator: Karl Michaels Format: Unabridged Length: 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-15 Publisher: ACZ Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: I'll go through hell and back again if it gets me this promotion, and more importantly if it gets me closer to my boss.... I've always been pretty damn nervous around my boss, Mr. Atkins, and understandably so. Although I'm sure everyone tends to get antsy around their employers, the case is especially severe in Mr. Atkins' presence. There are widespread rumors throughout the office that Mr. Atkins likes men, and that he likes them A LOT. I think because of that, I've always had this sort of weird sexual tension with him, even though I've always considered myself primarily straight otherwise. At any rate, one day my co-worker Eric and I are called to Mr. Atkins' office for a surprise meeting. I'm nervous as hell given a round of recent cut-backs at the company, and am hoping against hope that I come out with a promotion instead. Eric is called in first, and moments later, moans and violent thuds begin to emit from behind the door of the office, giving me a very clear impression as to what exactly is expected of me in exchange for a foot in the door of this company.... Members Reviews: Good Book Wow this book was different from the other R.P.James, books I've listen to. It was an interesting book to listen to . I kept saying wow lol. "I was provided this audibook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com. " One Promotion. Two Applicants. What did you love best about One Promotion. Two Applicants. The Alpha's 9 Inches. Who Wants It Badly Enough?? Even tho I would have preferred that the book was longer, I enjoyed the fact that it was all action, never a dull moment. What was one of the most memorable moments of One Promotion. Two Applicants. The Alpha's 9 Inches. Who Wants It Badly Enough?? The most memorable would have to be the 3 of the guys together near the end of the book. The dialogue and writing were very exciting. Have you listened to any of Karl Michaelss other performances before? How does this one compare? His voice sounded similar to several male narrators from my reading past, maybe I did but his name does not ring a bell. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Three way in the Office.

Now a grown man with a military career behind him, Rock continues to deny his true desires, even while working security at The Den, the most decadent sex club in town. But after a year of watching gorgeous Carter Montgomery come and go on the arms of other men, Rock can no longer resist the cravings he's denied for so long. Carter has just four months left on his contract with an escort agency, and he doesn't know whether to feel relieved or afraid. Being an escort is all he knows. Adding to his confusion is the way his latest client, the sexy but stoic Rock, makes him feel things he hasn't wanted in years. One charmingly awkward date turns into two and soon the men are meeting off the clock. But with Rock in the closet and Carter unsure how to pursue a real relationship, how can they build a future both in and out of the bedroom? Members Reviews: Good narrator but average story McKenna's voice is rich and compelling but, unfortunately, the story gets boring after a promising start. The scenes between Rock and Carter are repetitive and as a listener, I was stuck with that. At least with an ebook or hard copy, I can skip those parts easily. Not possible with an Audible audio because I don't even get chapters and it's a pain to get to where I want, or return to my last spot. There are heaps of better rent-boy/hooker stories out there. WOW! I waited a long to buy this book. I've listened to all the others in this series. I'm sorry I waited so long. I really didn't think I'd like a gqy man's novel, but boy was I wrong. The story is so well written. Dealing with all the struggle of society's views and coming out and how will your patents take it. The romance is hot! I'm glad the author chose a male narrator for this story. He did a good job. I wished for a little more difference in the characters though. And, quite frankly, he sucked at the female voices, but there aren't that many in this book so it wasn't to hard to over look. Great love story of learning who you are and what you want and how to trust. Try it! Wickedly Great!!! (M/M) Romance for Lovers. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The reviews don't give this book justice. It works as a stand alone or In the series. Granted it's not about BDSM. Just a love story of two strong handsome men finding their way to love. This is the most honest male on male book I have read that focused on just them and that's kind of great. What did you like best about this story? The characters a retired military man who works at the Den and drools over a sought after escort and trying to face his demons, the twist is who is actually helping who? They both need each other and become stronger together. I wished this book was longer I hope their is a part two or a back history on the escorts perspective. Which scene was your favorite? Too many to list. The love scenes were hot however just them coming together for the first embrace was enough. The author doesn't rush their feelings it grows on you. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened twice back to back because I was so drawn in that I started searching for other male on male romances. Lynda your fabulous and keep writing this series.

This Christmas, hes finally worked up the courage to go home, where he's surprised to find they've taken in a boarder. Ryan Bennett is just a couple years younger than Will, cute, sweet...and openly gay. As Will deals with his jealousy of the man who's been receiving the love and acceptance he was denied, Ryan finds himself falling for Will's brooding good looks. But Ryan also suspects the Sutherlands may be using him as a pawn in their long-standing conflict with their son. Will this Christmas finally tear the family apart, or is there a chance they can put their hurt and anger behind them. A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2013 Advent Calendar package Members Reviews: Sweet holiday story This is a short holiday story about love and forgiveness. Will hasnt been home since the Christmas when he came out to his family. There is a mystery as to why hes stayed away, but you can guess why. When Wills family extends an olive branch, he decides to try again but is mystified by the boarder they are sharing their house with. Ryan is a young gay man who was kicked out of his home by his religious family and is now being supported by Wills family. At first Will is jealous and guarded with the virginal Ryan, but as the eggnog gets drunk and the inhibitions loosened the two find they might have a bit more in common than they think. ** Since this is a short story, a lot happens in a time line that feels unrealistic to me, but is acceptable given the parameters of a holiday love story. I didnt really feel Will ever had a reason to love Ryan or vice versa, though I was certainly rooting for the relationship. I thought the physical stuff and the I love yous were rushed but sweet nonetheless. Audiobook: I thought Robbie did a nice job with the narration, this was his first narration Id heard and I would definitely look for him in the future. He didnt do a lot with the voices but he certainly seemed to understand and translate the story well. Overall I give the book a 3 of 5 hearts and the Audiobook a 4 of 5 hearts for a total of 3.5 hearts. The Healing Power of Eggnog This book has it all! When I first came a cross the title, my first thoughts were one what a funny name for a Christmas story cause we all know that eggnog is a powerful drink if NOT controlled properly and two this won't end well After listening to this hart warming Christmas story I had a lot of empathy towards the two main characters Dick the hall's What made the experience of listening to The Healing Power of Eggnog the most enjoyable? The fact that the sex was not the main point of the story, it was the relationship with the child and parents and the understanding or better yet lack there of, on what made will who he is. What did you like best about this story? The egg nog and how it was almost made into a magical potion. What about Robbie Ravenas performance did you like? how well he made the voice's different If you could take any character from The Healing Power of Eggnog out to dinner, who would it be and why? will, I think he would be so kool, to talk to and to get into the head of a writer would be neat
