Author: Wade Kelly Narrator: Jason Lovett Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 190 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It's easy to become cynical when life never goes your way. Cole Reid has been a social recluse since he was 15, when he was outed by his high school baseball team. Since then, his obsessive-compulsive behavior and sarcastic nature have driven away most of the population, and everyone else hates him because he's gay. As he sees it, he's bound to repulse any prospective friends, let alone boyfriends, so why bother? By the time Cole enters college, he's become an anal-retentive loner - but it's not a problem until his roommate graduates and the housing department assigns Ellis Montgomery to move in with Cole. Ellis is messy, gorgeous, straight, and worst of all, a jock! During a school year filled with frat buddies, camping expeditions, and meddling parents, Cole and Ellis develop a friendship that turns Cole's glass-half-empty outlook on its head. There must be more to Ellis than a fun-loving jock - and maybe Cole's reawakening libido has rekindled his hope for more than camaraderie. Members Reviews: Well, Crap, It's Not Perfect, But I Still Loved It Yes, just like the characters in the story, the book title is not perfect, it's dorky. Yes, the author changes point of view here and there (and out of blue), but darn it, I really liked the characters and even though there really is nothing very original about the plot and course of the story, I really loved the characters including a neurotic protagonist with his quiet-type lover to be with their friends.The sexual scenes, again, fairly traditional were still very hot and very well done. Narrator Jason Lovett indeed became Cole, bravo! well crap! Would you consider the audio edition of My Roommate's a Jock? Well, Crap! to be better than the print version? absolutely not, I've read the book more than once and loved it but I have no desire to listen to the audio version again. Who was your favorite character and why? I love cole, he is quirky Which character as performed by Jason Lovett was your favorite? I think he did a great job but that being said, I didn't like his voice or something, it just got on my nerves Any additional comments? I think it's a great story, It's sweet, funny and a tiny bit of angst. Strange, funny, and mostly enjoyable Wow... okay... that wasn't exactly what I expected. Anyone else expect a really light, fun romance from the cover and the title? That's what I thought it would be. I was expecting another book like Frat Boy and Toppy but this was more serious than I expected. It had a lot of highs and a few lows. I'll break it down for all of you below ;) First I'll talk about the narrator because the narrator can make or break an audiobook. Jason Lovett did a really nice job with the story. He sounded age-appropriate (KEY for a book about college students!) and was really easy to listen to. He had a nice, even speaking voice that had a lot of expression to it. My one complaint is that all of his characters sounded kind of the same, but other than that, I really liked his narration. (And I checked out his youtube videos and he is adorable so, bonus points!) Now on to the story. I'll begin with what worked for me.

Title: Somebody Killed His Editor Subtitle: Holmes & Moriarity, Book 1 Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Kevin R. Free Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 01-21-13 Publisher: Just Joshin Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 568 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Thanks to an elderly spinster sleuth and her ingenious cat, Christopher Holmes has enjoyed a celebrated career as a bestselling mystery writer. Until now. Sales are down and his new editor is allergic to geriatric gumshoes. On the advice of his agent, he reinvents his fortyish, frumpy, recently dumped self into the sleek, sexy image of a literary lion, and heads for a Northern California writers conference to try and resurrect his career. A career nearly as dead as the body he stumbles over in the woods. In a weirdly déjà vu replay of one of his own novels, he finds himself stranded in an isolated lodge full of frightened women?and not a lawman in sight. Except for J.X. Moriarity, former cop and bestselling novelist. The man with whom he shared a one-night stand - okay, maybe three - long ago. The man who wants to arrest him for murder. A ruthless, stalking killer, or a hot, handsome ex-lover. Which poses the greater danger? It's elementary, my dear Holmes! **this title contains gay erotic content** Members Reviews: Somebody Killed His Editor What did you love best about Somebody Killed His Editor? I love comic mysteries. This narrator was really able to bring out the comic elements and still make the characters real. What did you like best about this story? I really enjoy series. I liked the fact that this was the start of a comic mystery series. Which scene was your favorite? The beginning of the book when the MC when fighting for his life on the bridge. It was funny and scary at the same time. If you could rename Somebody Killed His Editor, what would you call it? How Kit and JX restarted Any additional comments? I always like anything Josh Lanyon does, but this narrator really brought out the best in this book and made me laugh throughout the whole thing which I did not do when I read it. I smiled a lot but did not laugh out loud like I did with this narrator. And the killer is... I have to admit...I really loved this book. My introduction to Christopher Holmes was a bit off-setting...in fact I thought I would completely dislike the protagonist. But his self-deprecating humor and his comic perspective actually endeared me. I laughed out loud on many occasions because of Kit's perspective. The introduction of J.X. brought a picture to mind that might be a bit inappropriate to share, but I knew early that something was not right in the state of Denmark, specifically concerning Kit and J.X. Josh Lanyon's writing style engages the reader and he did a fantastic job with this tale of mystery. Additionally, the narration of Kevin R. Free was superb and added to the story. One of the better narrator's and I look forward to hearing his telling of a tale again, hopefully he will continue in this series. Great book and I enjoyed it immensely!~~ Very Well Done What made the experience of listening to Somebody Killed His Editor the most enjoyable? Enjoyed the narration by Kevin R Free, he captured Kit wonderfully. I have previously read this Josh Lanyon book and found the audio version delightful. A fantastic series! I have a confession to make I've fell blindly and unconditionally in love with the main character of this book. Kit Holmes is struggling with mid-life crisis big time: his long-term relationship has just ended, his career is going downhill, he is concerned about his health, he feels old and he complains a lot about all and everything.

Title: The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Home Subtitle: Broom Closet Stories, Book 2 Author: Jeff Jacobson Narrator: Zachary Antonioli Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-17 Publisher: NewFreedomPress.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Note from the publisher: Prior to July 2017, The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Straight and The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Home were one book, which has now been separated into two books to make them more accessible. If you purchased The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Straight prior to July 2017 and are looking for the next book in this series, then you'll want book three, available early 2018. Newly initiated into witchcraft, high school sophomore Charlie Creevey has abilities that are out of control! He can see things happening in people's homes on the other side of town, and inanimate objects fly across the room and smash into walls. With the help of his aunt, he learns to control his new skills and pours himself fully into the craft. However, his awakened abilities have been noticed by the murderous and evil witch, Grace. At the same time, he and Diego Ramirez finally admit their feelings for each other, leading to Charlie's first relationship and the challenges of gay teen love. Tiptoeing out of the closet, Charlie wants to pull Diego closer to him, but keeps him at arm's length to safeguard the secret that he is a witch. Grace and her coven continue their kidnapping and killing sprees across the Pacific Northwest, terrorizing Charlie's witch community and drawing him deeper and deeper into the evil coven's plans. Constantly outwitting Charlie, Grace eventually lures him into the full horror of her schemes. Can gay teen witch Charlie survive and save his loved ones, or will he be pulled over to the dark side and lose everything dear to him? Members Reviews: What an excellent mix of fantasy What an excellent mix of fantasy, magic,and reality. I couldn't put it down pretty much reading it straight through. I don't want to give too much away but it's about time a gay character gets to be the hero and I hope there is more to the story coming in the future. Loved it! Wow I finished the two books in one week; I can't wait for the next book. I think I have a new favorite author. But what about Diego? A wonderful roller coaster ride with a gay teenage witch! Jump on! What a thrilling follow up to Book 1 - The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Home! I can hardly put this book down. Charlie's adventure continues as he gets trained as a new witch, reluctantly embraces his sexuality, falls in love and finds out just how evil the bad witches can be. The author is a master at creating suspense and making the world of witches absolutely believable. He also show us, with such compassion, the inner world of a teenage boy. Charlie is discovering whole new parts of himself - his magical abilities and his new-found sexuality - and it's not easy. It's confusing, exciting, and disorienting all at the same time. Jacobson describes the whole roller coaster in a way that takes us, his readers, on the ride with Charlie. If you haven't started reading this book -- don't hesitate! Pick it up now and buckle up! Highly Recommended! Although this book is billed as Young Adult fiction I enjoyed it immensely (at 60!). It's a rich and complex story that kept me on the edge of my seat, yet it's also quite sweet in parts.

It's never been fun, per se. But it's not usually this annoying. Vic has just moved in with his boyfriend Jacob, he can't figure out where anything's packed, and his co-worker is pressuring him to have a housewarming party. Can't a guy catch a break? On a more sinister note, Vic discovers there's absolutely no trace of him online. No trace of anyone else who trained at "Camp Hell," either. Everyone Vic knows has signed a mysterious set of papers to ensure his "privacy." The contracts are so confidential that even Vic has never heard of them. But Jacob might have. What other secrets has Jacob been keeping? Members Reviews: Keeps getting better!! I'm a long time fan of JCP and her PsyCop series (not to mention all her other books!) but hearing them performed by Gomez Pugh has elevated them to perfection. He IS Victor Bayne. I'll listen to these stories again and again. Jordan Castillo Price, PsyCop and Gomez Pugh are the best out there. It's No Secret..... I Love This Series What made the experience of listening to Secrets the most enjoyable? As per usual, Gomez Pugh brings his 'A' game to this audio. I love the characterization of each voice. I can't imagine anyone other than him narrating this series. What was one of the most memorable moments of Secrets? I like the fact that Victor would protect Lisa from everyone, including Jacob and herself. Which character as performed by Gomez Pugh was your favorite? I love his version of Ms. Mattie. She's awesome. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Secrets and lies, much to despise.... Any additional comments? Every book gets better and I anticipate the next one even before I finish the current one. They can't be released quickly enough for me. Great job Jordan and Gomez. Next please. Love Love Love this series Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The narrator and the story. I love watching Victor grow up! Who was your favorite character and why? Victor, Cash, and Jacob Which character as performed by Gomez Pugh was your favorite? all Cripes. Would you consider the audio edition of Secrets to be better than the print version? No, I don't prefer one over the other, they are just different ways to experience a book. Have you listened to any of Gomez Pughs other performances before? How does this one compare? I have all the books in this series, and he IS Vic, this book is no exception. Any additional comments? This series get better and better as we learn more about Vic and his background, as well as the way he grows with each book. It's just getting better and better! Wow. Just. Wow. When you think you know somebody. In this story we see the boys move in together. But really that wasnt as big a deal as Id have expected it to be. Instead we get some weird stuff about Crash/Vic and Crash/Jacob. I think something is heading our way that will involve Crash more seriously in the future. Lisa comes back so Yay! I love Lisas talent and how she and Vic are so good for one another. Its wonderful that they can share the depth of their respective talents with each other since nobody else seems to be quite as psychic?- as them. Jacob was the shocker in this story.

Floodgates Audiobook by Mary Calmes

Title: Floodgates Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Michael Anthony Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 276 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Tracy Brandt considers himself a lucky man. He has a wonderful family, good friends, and a dependable job. His love life, however, features a cheating ex who, though out of the house, is not yet out of the picture - with a past that just might get Tracy killed. Homicide inspector Cord Nolan wants nothing more than to show his best friend's little brother that he's a reliable man, but to do that he'll have to get Tracy to look past the player he used to be. It'll be a tough sell; reputation is everything, and Cord's is tarnished by his past indiscretions. Tracy and Cord have spent five years trying to suffocate their fiery attraction under a blanket of grudging antagonism. When Tracy finds himself with a target on his back, Cord finally has the chance to ride to the rescue and break through the dam of Tracy's reserve. But he'd better be careful: if Cord is breaking the floodgates to wash away the past, he's going to have to hold tight to Tracy to make sure they're still standing when the tumult recedes. Members Reviews: Matter of Time Lite If you liked A Matter of Time you will like this book. It is complete with a "Jory and Sam like" MCs, namely Tracy and Cord. It has a good murder mystery and protector vibe, a loving family on Tracy's side, and all round fun listen. Although there are a couple of characters that seem to go nowhere; which leads me to believe there may be a sequel. The narrator does a good job overall and really kept me engaged. I actually like the audio better than the ebook. Worth a credit. Actually better than the ebook version. What made the experience of listening to Floodgates the most enjoyable? Yes. The narrator had a pleasant voice, he inserted some acting into his narration but wasn't over-the-top. Would you recommend Floodgates to your friends? Why or why not? I don't actually know anyone else in my circle who reads m/m romance... What about Michael Anthonys performance did you like? Pleasant voice, sounded like he actually enjoyed narrating the story, and characters were distinct enough that it wasn't hard to follow the dialogue. If you could rename Floodgates, what would you call it? It's All About Breckin. Or There's Something About Breckin Or Being Breckin Any additional comments? Story would have been a lot better if the whole thing didn't revolve around the ex-boyfriend. He wasn't even interesting or likable but everything was about him. Mary Calmes=Crack for the Soul. Would you recommend Floodgates to your friends? Why or why not? Well, I finished this little "gem" on the way home from work today. What can I say that every other review hasn't already? My Audible App: "MICH, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!" Me: "Ok, But Audible, I keep rating Mary Calmes books with like 3 stars worth of eh!... Why do you keep recommending them to me!!??" My Audible App: Because apparently you like books with 2 hot guys getting themselves in all sorts of shenanigans, HEA's, and I think cops and Russians? Me: SOB, it's a conspiracy. Well, the narrator was good. Relaxing to listen to and was a perfect fit for Tracey, the main character. Oh Tracey. He was sometimes so VOID of common sense through the book that I had to wonder how he put both shoes on in the morning. Listening to the storyline is a whole other bag of WTF.

Title: French Lessons Author: Natalie Vivien Narrator: Stephanie Murphy Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-16 Publisher: Rose and Star Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Would you have the courage to restart your life - and give love a chance - in a completely different country? Vida Toujours has struggled all of her life, working hard for everything she's ever earned, using her all-consuming job as a Chicago doctor to numb herself against the emptiness she carries inside. Overprotective of her heart, Vida pushes people away, and despite her loneliness, she's made an art of remaining detached and disconnected. Then she receives an unexpected letter from France. An aunt that Vida never knew she had has died, willing Vida a chateau in the French countryside. What feels like an impossible dream is now Vida's reality: She's an heiress, and the last living member of a family legacy steeped in secrets. When Vida arrives at the chateau, there are more surprises in store for her. She could never have predicted the effect that Renee Chanson, the fiery and captivating woman she meets at the chateau, would have upon her. And she could never have imagined how the decades-old mystery of her family's past would, at last, unfold. Can Vida learn to trust and open her stubborn heart to the possibility of a French romance? Or will she make the same mistakes her mother made and let the love of her life run away from her, leaving her to nurse a permanent broken heart? French Lessons is a poignant, passionate novel about coming to terms with the past and learning to love; a tender romance to curl up with. Members Reviews: A book for the Imaginative, Romantic Soul. For those of you that allow a novel to be a great escape and don't stop to nitpick at the probability of occurrences, then this book is for you. I enjoy books that take me away from daily stressors and this one did the trick. I found the two main characters quite captivating. secondary characters were a mystery I couldn't wait to solve. A journey well worth taking. Great stoytelling by a wonderful narrator I truly enjoyed this book. the narration is one of the best I've heard. I will listen again just because of the narration. As for the character I really enjoyed them each have their story to tell. it was a little mystery to solve that had a twist or two in there that I hadn't guessed which was fun when they revealed themselves. Maybe I'm just a forgiving person so Renee's feeling that she did something so wrong it would ruin their relationship didn't quite fit for me. Although, it wasn't necessarily unbelievable just more than what i would do. Though it did set it up for the anticipated end. I liked the premise for this story too. it was funny and sad and flirty. definitely would recommend. Weird storyline but ok Would you recommend French Lessons to your friends? Why or why not? Depends. The story was a bit weird, and it was kind of mystery that felt like it was building up to a major twist. I was intrigued till the end but I don't know if it would hold everyone's attention. Good story But Good story but when a book is titled French Lessons. The narrator should be able to pronounce French words correctly. Wonderful book and narration This is a wonderful story and the narration is great. I loved the mystery surrounding Vida's mother and enjoyed the outcome. Highly recommend this audio book!

Brooke Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 02-18-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 160 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: State trooper Brandt's new assignment to infiltrate a sex-cam operation puts him in a very uncomfortable position, especially since he'll have to perform naked on camera for his audition. Fortunately his partner and best friend, Donnelly, has his back - whether that means helping Brandt shop gay boutiques for sexy underwear or offering Jager and encouragement while he researches porn. Despite his mortification, Brandt gives the audition his best "shot" - and becomes an overnight sensation. But to meet the man behind the operation, he'll have to give a repeat performance, this time live on webcam opposite the highest bidder. Donnelly makes sure to win that auction for his partner's sake, but their plan has a flaw: faking it is not an option. In the aftermath, Brandt is a humiliated mess trying desperately to come to terms with what he's had to do for the job and his own mixed feelings. But Donnelly has been on a journey of discovery of his own. Suddenly everything the two men thought they knew about themselves and each other gets turned inside out. Meanwhile, they still have a case to solvebut it may not be the case they thought it was. Members Reviews: BEWARE: SPOILERS LIVE HERE! Any additional comments? If you hate spoilers, STOP READING NOW. Click away! Click away from this review! Allow me a moment to first say this before I begin my rant: Peter B. Brooke's narration was wonderful. He brought out the humor and passion in this. I really enjoyed his narration. 4 Stars for the narration. And now for my rant: This story makes absolutely no sense to me. The plot: State Trooper Ethan Brandt is tasked with going undercover in a sex-cam operation in order to shut them down on tax Revenue code 164.32 - not paying taxes on personal services rendered. Problem #1 Can someone explain to me how someone jerking off on camera is going to get a business's tax information? Why wouldn't you just fabricate some way to into the office to work? Or get your tech guys to send a virus and have your "undercover" guy show up to fix the computer and get your info that way? Also - there's no warrant involved so there's no coverage there, and the higher ups tell Brandt they'll make sure to get the video, if he has to do one, stopped. How? Once you do that and it's on the internet - it's out there. Finito. No going back. Problem #2 Every guy is STRAIGHT. Full on, don't even try to tell him differently, STRAIGHT. Even the ones with boyfriends. There are two sets of men in this story - the full on camp gay guys, like Bryce and Nestor (I love you Bryce!!) and the "I'm so straight a ruler is jealous" straight guys - even though they're attracted to, kiss, date, or sleep with other men. Apparently no one has ever heard of, or believes in, bisexuality. Problem #3 Brandt infiltrates the sex cam mansion and becomes very friendly with Nick, one of the guys who works there. I swear to God, I thought Nick was the love interest right up until - out of nowhere - Brandt's police partner, and best friend, Donnelly declares his feelings. Suddenly, within a weekend Brandt and Donnelly are 69ing each other, there's rimming, and they're declaring their love.

To stay close to Clay's father, the men share a hotel room near the hospital, but after an emotional day, one thing leads to another, and straight-as-an-arrow Ronnie makes a proposal that knocks Clay's socks off! Just a little something to take the edge off. Clay responds in a way he's never considered. After an amazing night together, Clay expects Ronnie to ignore what happened between them and go back to his old life. Ronnie surprises him and seems interested in additional exploration. Though they're friends, Clay suddenly finds it hard to accept the new Ronnie and suspects that Ronnie will return to his old ways. Maybe they both have a thing or two to learn. Members Reviews: Finally! An Andrew Grey Surprise! I don't listen/read Andrew Grey books... ever... they are all the same hum-drum format... so I stopped a long time ago... However... Tristan James narration.... well heck... I will listen to anything this man narrate!!! SOOOOOO GLAD I DID!!!! I came for the narration, stayed for the absolutely wonderful story!! I don't know if this is a newer Grey publishing, but dang... this was just so good! The way the two main characters circled around each other was great... They were best friends, then lovers, then enemies, then friends, then lovers again!! Awesome... Ronnie was the best character ever... He takes meds for his "head" issues...guys has got some serious OCD... a little bit of ADHD as well... but for Grey to write this character so well, and make him seem so normal... just threw me for a loop... I loved it!!! Kudo to Grey for finally writing something that kept my attention the entire time... I honestly think it was James narration... It was simply brilliant... I always love James narration... hands down one of the best male narrators for this m/m genre out there...!! Great buy, sale or credit... just get this book... you won't be disappointed...!! hot Excellent narration. Great storyline with some very hot steamy sexy action and main characters you fall in love it. 5 star narration, 4.5 star story. I highly recommend. Charo Great read, Fantastic Audio! If you could sum up Eyes Only for Me in three words, what would they be? Fantastic - Passionate - Poetic What was one of the most memorable moments of Eyes Only for Me? Taking the journey with Ronnie as he navigated the troubling waters surrounding his sexuality and accepting that. Have you listened to any of Tristan Jamess other performances before? How does this one compare? Oh heck yes, I love James voice. He has this husky tone to his voice that really fit well for Ronnie. Who was the most memorable character of Eyes Only for Me and why? Clay, of course. His love and devotion to Ronnie is unwavering, his friendship unmovable, even facing the very real possibility of losing him. Any additional comments? e-book review November 2015 4.5/5 stars... Unrequited love is a bitch, especially when its your best friend youre in love with. Clay Potter has wanted more than just friendship from Ronnie pretty much since they met. Several things keep the lust at bay.

Title: Sleeping 'til Sunrise Subtitle: Mangrove Stories Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 186 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Everyone in Mangrove, Florida, knows Fire Chief Essien Dodd is a saint. He took care of his ex-wife until she died, is raising his teenage daughter alone, and is the kind of man who pulls kittens from trees. All in all, the man's a catch. But Roark Hammond has sworn off getting involved with a man who's been hurt before because he can't guarantee he won't hurt his prospective love again. If only he could get Essien out of his mind long enough to focus on anyone, or anything, else. Strong emotions are in play. Essien is lonely but determined to focus on Ivy; Ivy wants her father to have a new life so much that, to his horror, she's trying to find him a man; and Roark is so scared of the present and past, he won't allow himself to commit. To have any chance of sleeping 'til sunrise and greeting each new day together, Essien and Roark will have to rethink how they're living their lives and focus on what's most important. Members Reviews: Easy flow and a good, quick listen. Any additional comments? Fire Chief Essien Dodd moved to Mangrove, Florida with his daughter, Ivy, from Detroit (with a short sting in Miami in between) in order to put big cities and a too-rapid pace of life behind him for a while. Essien has dealt with a lot and is looking for some peace. After moving to Mangrove he sees, and falls for, Pediatrician Roark Hammond. Roark has deep feelings for Essien, but doesn't want to act on them for a very good reason. I really, really don't want to give anything away here. I know - mind boggling for me the Queen of the Spoilers to say that...but, nope, no spoilers from me this time. I don't want to ruin it. This short novella is a classic kind of Calmes with great dialogue, delicious heat and sexy times, and a breakneck romantic pace. Sure, there are some points I could niggle over, but I don't wanna. It all just works for me. I felt like it flowed really smoothly and I enjoyed the whole thing. And not that it's a surprise, but once again, Greg Tremblay does a wonderful job with the narration.

Title: Alpha Trine Author: Lexi Ander Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-15 Publisher: Less Than Three Press, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The sole survivor on a science vessel adrift in deep space, Zeus was adopted by the Emperor and Empress of the Mar'Sani, though he is both human and blind, and seen by most as unfit to join the royal family. Though they were able to repair his vision, Zeus does not trust his eyes and the nobles of his parents' court refuse to ever trust a frail human. Dargon Kal-Turak, along with his symbiote and lover Alpha, command one of the most dangerous ships in the stars. Narrowly escaping a trap, they dock in a space port to make repairs, but find that the Psonics hunting them are closing in fast. In desperation they kidnap the port master mechanic, unaware that the man they've brought on board is more than he seems, and will bring far more upheaval to their ship, their lives, and the stars than any of them could have imagined. Members Reviews: Nice story, meh romance nice story! I really enjoyed the concept and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. My favorite part was definitely the prologue with Zeus' adoption! My only problem with the story was the romance between Zeus and Dargon as it felt almost forced and way too rushed. At times it was also difficult to keep up with the different aliens but the ones that were more thoroughly explained was very interesting - I just wish there would have been put more time into explaining some of the characters before moving on. Impossible to listen to I loved the book Alpha Trine, so when I found it & the sequal on audio, I purchased them. I just got around to listening. I had to DNF the audio because the narrator's S's kept hurting my ears. There is equipment a narrator needs to produce quality output, devices that soften those S's. Unfortunately, this book is unlisteneable. Which is sad. I truly enjoyed the book. But the audio version is useless to me. Good I enjoy this enough to listen to it multiple times. I like the different creatures and can follow them fine. The biggest criticism of others is the multiple and varied characters. That is fine for me. My problem is that the narrator is a bit stilted. I'm not sure if it's his reading or the lack of contractions in the text itself. The thing is that it would be natural that aliens wouldn't follow our casual diction and rules. Regardless, it does detract from what is otherwise a highly entertaining and a little bit weird tale. Great Sci-fi. I loved this book on first reading, Michael Stellman does a grand job of bringing Zeus, Dagon and Alpha to life. It was great fun to revisit these guys. I'm looking forward to listening to Striker now.

Every Second Counts Audiobook by D. Jackson Leigh

Jackson Leigh Narrator: Kathleen Wilkins Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Success for Marc Ryder means riding out eight seconds on the back of an angry rodeo bull and avoiding getting roped into a relationship with the pretty women she meets along the way. She's exactly the type of wild and reckless person artist Bridgette LeRoy has avoided since the senseless death of her brother. But circumstances throw them together, and Bridgette is drawn into a tumultuous ride of attraction, passion, and denial. When she realizes it's the only way to protect her battered heart, Bridgette's desperate mission to stop Marc's suicidal return to the rodeo becomes a race in which every second counts. Members Reviews: Sometimes it Just Takes One Marc is a bronc and bull rider; Brigitte is an artist and art instructor; they're hot for each other but Brigitte lost her beloved older brother to the bulls in the streets of Pamploma, Spain. So then she must escape her feelings for Marc, and thus she runs away, never bothering to enlighten Marc as to the reason; I mean seriously why would she (Marc) want or need the reason that she's being shunned. This would seem to be a bit unfair, not to mention counter productive but that isn't addressed, added to this is that Brigitte runs hot and cold, seemingly unable to love her or lose her. Finally she realizes that she, unfortunately, and yes she says it just that way to Marc, loves her. Then she throws in the whiner's last resort, emotionally blackmailing Marc by using the phrase; "if you love you'll" fill in the blank. In this case it's not ride the bull today. Never mind that this is a last minute request from Brigitte a woman who has treated her badly, even though Marc gave her a fortune in art to sell, a move that in essence saved Brigitte's job at the local university; along with the jobs of several of her colleagues. Then comes Brigitte's clinching line; "if you ride today, we're done." In about twelve hours Marc's expected to ride; she has committed to this, her sponsors are counting on her, her agent is counting on her, other females who might one day be interested in following in her footsteps are counting on her. Oh well the hell with all that, Brigitte who has treated her like something she needs to wipe off her shoe has given her the ultimatum and so she'll not not only quit and break all the commitments she's made, at literally the last second; she'll be happy about it and can't wait 'til she can be with Brigitte. The only reason I didn't quit listening at this juncture is because it all occurred in about the last three minutes. I gave it one star and would have liked to have been able to give it less.

Criss Cross Audiobook by Jordan Castillo Price

Title: Criss Cross Subtitle: PsyCop, Book 2 Author: Jordan Castillo Price Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-05-14 Publisher: JCP Books LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 427 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Criss Cross finds the ghosts surrounding Victor getting awfully pushy. The medications that Victor usually takes to control his abilities are threatening to destroy his liver, and his new meds aren't any more effective than sugar pills. Vic is also adjusting to a new PsyCop partner, a mild-mannered guy named Roger with all the personality of white bread. At least he's willing to spring for the Starbucks. Jacob's ex-boyfriend, Crash, is an empathic healer who might be able to help Victor pull his powers into balance, but he seems more interested in getting into Victor's pants than in providing any actual assistance. Members Reviews: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book and this series! Would you listen to Criss Cross again? Why? YES. This is one of my top favorite books in this series. In fact, it probably IS my favorite in the series and the narrator does a super fantastic job with all the voices of the cast. LOVE IT. I can't say that enough. Who was your favorite character and why? Crash. In this particular book, Crash gets introduced and I love his voice, and his personality. Of course, Vic will always be my top favorite character in the series because I love his voice, and his personality. Some of his inner thoughts are things I can easily relate to. LOVE Vic. What about Gomez Pughs performance did you like? He does a fantastic job with everyone's voices. Even Jackie the dead black prostitute ghost. He seemed to subtly alter Jacob's voice in this book and I did like it better than in the first book. He sounded less like a radio DJ I used to listen to a lot. :-) Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YES and NO. I wanted to listen to everything because I love this story. Yet, I wanted to make it last as much as possible. I was very sad when I got to the end and there was no more! This is one of my top, all time, favorite series, so yeah. Any additional comments? Series/Standalone: book 2 Genre/sub-genre: paranormal with a side of romance Book Format: audio HEA/HFN: YES Relatable characters: Hell YES Abuse/Rape: no Violence: sorta Ratio of sex/plot: equal Well written/editor needed: well written Would I re-read?: YES, YES, YES!!! Personal thoughts: I loved this story. This one is my favorite in the series so far. The narrator does a fantastic job with ALL the voices and the writing is superb. Couldn't ask for something better. Though more would always be nice. :-) Spot-on reading of a favorite series Any additional comments? This was a wonderful reading of Criss Cross, book 2 in Jordan Castillo Price's Psycop series. Gomez Pugh has really hit his stride here, and is a pleasure to listen to. Jacob's voice is perfect now (very toppy), but the way we hear Vic's thought process in this narration it's clearer how they are equal partners. That last love scene it one of the best read and hottest I've heard. Pugh also does a great job with Roger Burke's Stepford Husband obsequiousness. Victor is a nicer guy than he can admit to himself and that doesn't always work to his advantage. The side characters are fully drawn, also well read, and worth getting to know better. This is a series I've re-read a few times.

Or so Marcus mistakenly believes. On a trip to Lexington, Kentucky, to celebrate Joes grandfathers birthday, that belief changes as Marcus unwittingly uncovers a paranormal dilemma and ends up revealing his identity as a warder to Joes family. Faced with a traitor, demons, and the return of an old enemy, Marcus must put his own needs aside to save his friendsthough in so doing he may lose the man he loves forever. Even living through the ordeal might not be enough if Marcus cant forgive himself and learn that his hearth and the rest of his clutch cant do without him. Members Reviews: Hard to put it down Where does Nexus rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I am a big fan of Mary Clames. This book was a great addition. I really like Joe's character. What was one of the most memorable moments of Nexus? When they got ready to go to the club. Have you listened to any of Andrew Schwartzs other performances before? How does this one compare? I am not sure this narrator is actually andrew schwartz. I think it was Paul Morri and he was great!!! Much more controlled than the other narrator. And he did the voices GREAT so it was much easier to follow. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The reconciliation. Any additional comments? This book was well done. It gave a lot more information about the characters. I especially liked how the stories all fit into each other. Well done, nothing more I can say but well done.by the way, the review before this, I almost didn't get it because of that review but then I liked all the others in the series so I did. I'm not sure what that person's problem is, but I am glad I didn't listen to it. Besides, how about saying 'what' was wrong with the book instead of 'i hate this', etc. also, the narrator is new, and I kinda like him better than the other one. sorry... I Love Audible! If you could sum up Nexus in three words, what would they be? A Great Story What was one of the most memorable moments of Nexus? One of the most memorable moments was the club scene and fight with all the Warders and Marcus saving his brothers. Which scene was your favorite? I have several, but if I have to choose one I guess I would say the airport scene when Marcus first arrives and meets up with Joe and his family. The family dynamic was wonderful. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I would have to choose the scene where all his brothers arrive to see Marcus after he was gone for over a year and they express their love to him. Any additional comments? I love Mary Calmes writing. She has a way with words. You really know her characters and she makes you invest in them and fight for them and love them. Great series I have listened to this whole series and also read the books and enjoyed them immensely. The only part of the narration I do not enjoy is the music or electronic sounds at the beginning of the chapters as it is jarring. However, that is no reason to miss this excellent series. Well worth your time and a credit. One of the best in this series - LOVE JOE! This is book 3 of the Warder Series, so by now you know that each town has Warders who protect the city from demons and things that go bump in the night.

Boy Meets Boy Audiobook by David Levithan

Title: Boy Meets Boy Author: David Levithan Narrator: Nicholas Robideau, the Full Cast Family Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-05 Publisher: Full Cast Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 372 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: What if you went to a school where it was actually all right to be who you really are? That's the enchanting place David Levithan has created in his highly acclaimed first novel. But even if the gay kids and the straight kids all get along just fine, even if it's all right for the quarterback to be a cross dresser named Infinite Darlene and the cheerleaders to ride Harleys into the pep rally, the road to true love is still a strange and winding path, as Paul discovers when he meets the boy of his dreams. Charming, funny, delightful, and utterly heartwarming, this YA novel speaks with clarity and depth about our need to love and be loved. ©2003 David Levithan; (P)2005 Full Cast Audio Critic Reviews: "In its blithe acceptance and celebration of human differences, this is arguably the most important gay novel since Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind." (Booklist) "Levithan's prophecy of a hate-free world in which everyone loves without persecution makes this a provocative and important read for all young adults, gay or straight." (School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Kudos to Full Cast Audio The first time I read David Levithan's "Boy Meets Boy," I was immediately drawn in by his stealthful command of language and how effortlessly he gave the voices of his characters meter and life. Like many people who fear seeing a favorite book turned into a movie, I approached this recording with some hesitation. It's one thing for a narrator to simply read a book. It's another for actors to take on the roles of the characters. How would this match up with how I heard the characters in my head? I was IN NO WAY disappointed. The performers did a remarkable job of capturing the nuances of the characters (or, at least how I had imagined them). I also like the interspersal of music which seemed so organic to the material. This production is well worth a listen and I'll certainly be looking for other Full Cast Audio books in the future. A wonderful and touching book Boy Meets Boy is a sweet, funny and moving story set in the Sophmore year of the protagonist, Paul. Paul likes Noah and Noah likes Paul, but everything conspires to try and keep the two apart. David Levithan has written a story that manages, in the most pleasing way to paint a picture of the world as it should be. The recording on Audible is a "full cast" production with different actors for each character; the recoding is extremely well done and engaging. This is a wonderful book that will appeal to both young and old. I loved and I highly recommend it. A decent Vacation Read As a 44 y/o gay man, I found this a pleasant, if somewhat juvenile fantasy. I guess if I were still a 15 y/o high school student, this might be instrumental to my escapism. In the 70's, when I was there, of course there was no such thing. If you're still trapped in Rural American and desperate for anything that's out there, this certainly fits the bill. I bought it for the same reason that I buy my kids overpriced candy bars to send the Band to wherever -- it supports a good cause (in this case, gay fiction), and I want to see more of it especially on Audible. It's a pleasant book to listen to, a "vacation read" that you can occasionally doze off during without missing much of the plot (at least, not so much that you're lost 20 minutes later).

Title: Better Than Chance Subtitle: Better Than, Book 2 Author: Lane Hayes Narrator: Tyler Stevens Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-03-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 171 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jay Reynolds has a crush on his project leader at work, but an office romance with Peter Morgan isn't likely to happen since Peter is straight. Worse, Jay soon fears Peter is homophobic, and his initial infatuation turns to loathing. But one fateful night, Jay is forced to acknowledge things aren't quite as they seem with Peter. Suddenly, his crush is back and unbelievably, Peter is interested too. They begin a friends with benefits arrangement, which becomes difficult for Jay when he starts falling for his sexy boss. Peter's past issues keep him from committing, and Jay has to decide if he can be satisfied with friendship if Peter isn't ready to take a chance on anything more. Members Reviews: Very nice! Almost as good as the first! A great audiobook narrator makes you forget you are listening to an audiobook. You feel like you are living the story, rather than just reading it. Hence the magic of audiobooks. **throws glitter and does a pseudo-mystical dance** Lane Hayes, or whoever picked Tyler Stevens, is a very smart person indeed. His range of voices MADE the story for me. I loved Jay's sexy southern voice and Peter's more masculine voice as an awesome counterpart. The narrator rocked this story out and made it a great listen. Now onto the story itself... I ADORED the first book in the series, Better Than Good. It was GFY/OFY heaven, and I knew it would be a tough act to follow. However, I think the author did a nice job here, with a veerrrrryyyy slow burn, enemies-to-lovers (in a mild sense), office romance. This book is very relationship-focused. It is all about the couple and very little else, which I happen to like. I don't like a lot of riffraff or poppycock clogging up my romance! (Okay, I just wanted an excuse to use those words... shhhh...) I loved how the relationship grew and progressed over time, and I enjoyed being on the journey with these two men. My only sticking point is that I didn't really get Peter's reluctance to commit. I kind of got what the author was going for, but it felt a little weak to me. He seemed fully committed in his actions, so his reluctance to say it out loud felt incongruous with his behavior. All in all, a very nice follow up by Lane Hayes with a lovely narration. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Loved, Loved, Loved What made the experience of listening to Better Than Chance the most enjoyable? After listening to the first book, I read the second one. Loved it too, but listened to it and the voices, was so much better. Cannot wait for the third book to come out! What did you like best about this story? The characters! Love Jay and I learn to love Peter, especially knowing what happens in the first book. Have you listened to any of Tyler Stevenss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, in the first book, and he is perfect for this series. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I have been checking on audible for it's release, stopped my other book, downloaded and listened. Any additional comments? Great series, You cannot help but fall in love with these characters. These are not life altering stories, but they are written well, narrated well and you feel great after reading or listening to them. Lane Hayes writes "great" characters. Good! I have to admit, I like book 1 way way better, but this was good..

Turn Back Time Audiobook by Radclyffe

Title: Turn Back Time Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Nicole Vilencia Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 12-04-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Love has a way of derailing the best of plans. Wynter Thompson, divorced with a young child, struggles to balance the demands of her surgical residency with the responsibilities of motherhood - and between the two, discovers there is little time left for anything else. She manages to convince herself that she has everything she needs, because another chance at love is definitely not in her game plan. Pearce Rifkin is a woman with a plan, and it doesnt include a serious relationship. Chief Surgical Resident is just a stepping stone to her lifelong goal - chairmanship at one of the top ten medical centers. Determined to follow in her fathers footsteps, even though she isnt the son he dreamed of, Pearce has no time for romance. Two women with nothing in common but a shared passion for surgery clash at every opportunity, especially when matters of the heart are suddenly at stake. Members Reviews: Ok book As glad as I am that lesbian books are becoming available on audible, there are many more I'd rather see than this one. It's a cute story but if you've read Radclyffe once, you need not really read more if you want a different story. They seem to follow the theme of two unlikely people meeting, not getting along, falling in love, crisis, ending with living happily ever after. Again, loving that lesbian books are available but this story is old. There are also two skips on the recording making it a bit distracting. One of my favorite romances Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Despite the short-comings of the narrator, this is one of Radclyffe's best medical romances. I've read it more than once and listened to it more than once. What was one of the most memorable moments of Turn Back Time? The entire story is really great. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narrator, unfortunately, completely missed the personality of one main character and on occasion ignored written direction, such as a whisper or a tone of voice. Unfortunate for such a great story. Any additional comments? Absolute only thing wrong with this audio book is the fault of the narrator. Even though the author describes one of the surgeons as having a husky voice, the narrator gives her a wimpy little girl voice that never should be used for a grown woman, much less an aggressive lesbian surgeon. Such a great story. I loved every bit of this story. I was so excited to learn how Pearce and wynter got together. . I also love that their story continues in Radcyffe's Trams Alert book. This is a easy read , with laughs, lots of smiles, great chemistry and build-up between the Main characters. I love the interaction between the sub characters as well.. You should read this book as well as her others.

Title: The Fight Within Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Andrew McFerrin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Book in the Good Fight Series Bryce Morton needs a change of scenery. Since his partner's death a year ago, he's become withdrawn and quiet, so his friends, Jerry Lincoln and Akecheta (John) Black Raven, convince him to go camping with them on a Sioux reservation. Though he's not immediately sure he's done the right thing, Bryce becomes more interested when he meets Paytah, the man who owns the reservation's trading post. Paytah Stillwater's life is filled with hurt, and sometimes the only thing he has left is pride. After being abused as a child and disbelieved when he spoke up, he has withdrawn into himself-but he can never truly put his past behind him, because the source of his pain still lives on the reservation. Paytah is proud of his heritage and careful with his heart, but when Bryce commits a selfless act of kindness for one of the reservation's children, the walls around Paytah's heart begin to melt. Bryce and Paytah each fight the pain within them. When Paytah's abuser sets his sights on one of the reservation youngsters, Bryce and Paytah must set their individual fights aside. Finding a way to stop the abuser unites them to fight their way forward-together. Members Reviews: Good Addition to a Good Series This is not a spoiler, Bryces Percy dies in the first pages of this book, while Bryce is planning the wedding! Bryce is crushed, starts to recover, and travels with Jerry and John up to the reservation to go camping. At the reservation he meets the grumpy Paytah and though at first they squabble, they later turn into friends, then more. While knocking down Paytahs grumpy walls, Bryce uncovers Paytahs childhood of abuse. He calls in for reinforcements to help Paytah deal with his past and together they uncover even more abuse. Though Paytah and Bryce are getting closer, the hurdle of where to live still remains, and what to do with their newfound love. Andrew Grey does an excellent job of discussin some very difficult subjects in this book. Child abuse. Alcoholism. Racism. Poverty. Death. All in all, there was a lot of tough stuff to get through for these guys. Because of these difficult subjects, I think it was good that Bryce was so light hearted (most of the time) and optimistic. It would have been difficult to have both MCs full of angst and dealing with all those dark subjects. I also appreciated the delicacy with which Andrew handles the challenges faced by the Sioux in this story. I think he really shows how difficult their situation is, trying to remain true to their heritage while not subjecting others to the racism they themselves face. I thought the Andrew Jackson story was great! Ill never look at a twenty-dollar bill the same way! I didnt like this book as well as book one, mostly because I didnt feel the connection between Paytah and Bryce as authentically as I did John and Jerry. Maybe it was Percy. Maybe it was because Paytah did such a fast 180 from grump to boyfriend. Maybe because the relationship moved through some pretty difficult subjects partner death, childhood abuse, racism pretty quickly. Im not sure.

Title: Soul Mate for Sale Author: Kian Rhodes Narrator: Alexander Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-16 Publisher: NDP Publications, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 148 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Trevor In most packs, an Omega, even one who couldn't breed, was treasured and would be revered and protected, not cast aside. But our pack was not like most packs, and I was not like most Omegas. I was human, so I understood why I was being sent to the auction. I didn't like it, but I understood it. Even if there had been affection for me, even if they had been willing to keep me as a pet (neither of these was the case, but an Omega could dream), Cal couldn't afford not to sell me. Clint Omegas were hard to come by worldwide. While I would have preferred to mate for love, it didn't seem that it was in the cards for me. I had taken over as pack Alpha five years earlier, and it was high time that I started adding to the pack population. Granted my pack is run less rigidly than some; the Betas in my pack are not just allowed to breed but actively encouraged to. Unfortunately, only a small number of Beta females are fertile enough to get pregnant, and I'll be damned if I am going to hump my way through the pack until I find the ones who are - which brought me full circle to why I was standing in line to pick up the bidding paddle at the auction house. Less even than a marriage of convenience, purchasing an Omega at the auction was more of a long-term service contract, a means to an end, so what was an Alpha to do when he found his soul mate on the auction block? Members Reviews: Mpreg & Knotting! Any additional comments? Theres knotting and Mpreg in this series!! Im so happy! I liked the story, especially how sweet and understanding Clint was with Trevor, and look forward to continuing the series. The narration thoughhad issues. From the audible intake of air for many sentences to the sometimes lilting way Collins would finish a sentence at times, making it seem like it was a questionwhile I kind of got used to both after a while, ultimately I didnt think this was even close to Collins best work. If someone was interested in Paranormal stories with excellent audio by Collins Id steer them towards Charlie Cochets THIRDS series (under his Mark Westfield brand). Short mpreg shifter story This is a very short, very sweet mpreg shifter story and the first in the series. It is like one of the better Siren books and has enough of a story not to be PWP. Pretty predictable and not a lot happens, but it But I hope we see the couple in other books as it ends abruptly with what I consider a HFN. I also had to deduct a star for the narrator. Although I have enjoyed his narration in other books, there was a very noticeable intake of breath throughout this book that was VERY annoying and really distracted me from enjoying the story. Also, some of his dialogue came out as whiney instead of "soft spoken" which is what I think he intended. It annoyed me enough that if I continue this series, I'll probably read the ebooks. awesome story I loooooved this book but I HATED the narrator. The story was really good, just what I had been looking for. ok story.......narrator did it no favors I enjoy a good shifter mm Romance or story. I think this one would have been better served if I had read it and not chosen the audio version. I could never really get into the story because of the Singsong delivery that the narrator used. most sentences ended with a question even if it wasn't a question and the last word or two of every sentence was almost sung.

Title: A Matchless Man Subtitle: Dreamspun Desires, Book 19 Author: Ariel Tachna Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Lexington Lovers None of the matches caught his eye as much as the matchmaker himself. Growing up poorer than poor didn't leave Navashen Bhattathiri many options for life outside of school. All of his concentration was on keeping his scholarships. Sixteen years later, he's fulfilled his dream and become a doctor. Now he's returning home to Lexington and is ready to prove himself to the world. In doing so, he reconnects with Brent Carpenter - high school classmate, real estate agent, all-around great guy, and closet matchmaker. Brent makes it his mission to help Navashen develop a social life and meet available, interesting men. Unfortunately Navashen's schedule is unpredictable, and few of those available, interesting men value his dedication like Brent does. Brent's unfailing friendship and support convince Navashen he's the one, but can he capture Brent's heart when the matchmaker is focused on finding Navashen another man? Members Reviews: No accents, no chemistry, not a great story Im just so surprised by this story. Ariel Tachna has proven not only her writing chops but also her immense creativity and ease with angst and danger and drama and emotion in her gripping series Lang Downs and Partnership in Blood. Id even read her other Dreamspun Desire book so I definitely had an expectation that ran toward the creative and angsty. This is the exact opposite. Its like expecting a Bloody Mary and being served warm tap water instead. The story, told from Navashens POV is more like a day in the life of memoir than an exciting or heartfelt romance. Navashen tells us about moving home, finding a new house, furnishing the house, picking out a restaurant, meeting new friends, talking to his family, etcetera, etcetera. Using way more detail than calls for we are walked through his relocation and new home set-up. None of which is terribly exciting or angst ridden. His character reads fairly blah in that he had some issues with poverty growing up and some potential issues with his Indian family but those arent actually even a thing (much) anymore. They color his decisions but have not made him an interesting character. Brent is even worse. There is nothing noteworthy about his character at all up until the very end when we learn he was married to a woman whose family didnt approve of Brent and that ultimately ended their marriage for them. (Spoiler) Brent and Navashen dont even begin to date until 80% into the story and then at 90% they break up! Only to reunite in the final pages. I never felt a bit of chemistry between these two and the ease with which Brent walked away speaks loudly for how little the two are invested in one another. I have no idea what Brent sees in Navashen (not that theres anything wrong with him but we arent really shown why the two hit it off.) Also, Navashen seems like hes interested in Brent only because hes the better option to being alone. (End of spoiler) Navashens brother and mother are the only interesting characters and they didnt have enough to them to carry the story. Listening to this was probably worse than reading it only because in addition to being not very interesting, John Solo made Brent sound like a smarmy used car salesman and he kinda made my skin crawl.

Rescued Heart Audiobook by Georgia Beers

Title: Rescued Heart Subtitle: A Puppy Love Romance Author: Georgia Beers Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 240 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Junebug Farms, a successful, well-known animal shelter in upstate New York, where every day brings something new - love, stress, heartbreak, warmth - and not just from the animals. Lisa Drakemore is in charge of intake and adoption at Junebug. She excels at her job, in large part because of her ability to keep her emotions in check. Her past has given her many years of practice and she's become a pro. But once she meets dog-walking volunteer Ashley Stiles, a distractingly attractive, perpetually late, emotions-on-her-sleeve young woman who smells like cupcakes, all bets are off for Lisa. The first of the Puppy Love Romances by award-winning author Georgia Beers. Members Reviews: Classic Georgia A nice Georgia Beers lesbian romance with one woman who is in a power position and is so emotionally cut off she's way more like a guy than a lot of guys you know. Lisa Drakemore, like Rachel Hart in 'Mine' is scarred by the divorce of her parents when she was a teenager and as a result has little or no contact with one of her parents. She has inherited a no kill shelter from her grandmother and despite most of her staff being volunteers she runs a tight ship. One of those volunteers is the very pretty Ashley Stiles who works in a bake shop and comes across as one of those people who find their niche early and stay right there. Then there is the mutual attraction that both women constantly try to minimize if not deny altogether, a staple of most of this author's works. Clark Breckenridge is the stereotypical sleazy rich contributor with an overblown sense of entitlement and at one point his overtures go way over the line provoking a confrontation with Lisa; who for a moment comes off as heroic; then blows it when she opens her mouth.. Lisa is in fact a difficult character to ever get behind; she comes off as totally self centered, self involved, and carrying a large of bucket of anger mixed with an unwillingness to forgive or even listen to an explanation. In short if you walk on two legs, she's not very nice to you. Ashley on the other hand is terribly sweet, accommodating, and has a willingness to help everyone. If there is a line between nice lady and pushover Ashley doesn't step across that line; she backs up gets a running start and leaps across it. Finally it wasn't a surprise to see more than one Junebug Farms book because there were about twenty characters introduced in this book so there had to be some reason for that. The positive thing about the author's works is that despite creating lead characters that aren't all that likable, and some strange takes on who to blame and who to excuse she is a very good writer. Though you wonder why the hell Ashley would want to hook up with Lisa, you really want it to happen. Listening to this story on my I-Pod was a nice way to distract myself from all the yard I was doing one weekend. Good escapist listening; it was fun. Cute Romance If you could sum up Rescued Heart in three words, what would they be? Sweet, innocent, positive. What other book might you compare Rescued Heart to and why? Difficult to answer. I guess something like Apples Should be Red by Penny Watson...or maybe Must Love Otters by Eliza Gordon. What about Abby Cradens performance did you like? The best narrators disappear into the story.

But in an instant, a stroke of bad luck tears down what little home he's managed to build, and Jos and Isaac end up on the streets. That's where Officer Kip Rogers finds them, and even though he knows he should let the proper authorities handle things, he cannot find it in his heart to turn them away, going so far as to invite them to stay in his home until they get back on their feet. With the help of Kip and his friends, Jos starts to rebuild his life. But experience has taught him nothing comes for free, and the generosity seems too good to be true - just like everything about Kip. Kip's falling hard for Jos, and he likes the way Jos and Isaac make his big house feel like a home. But their arrangement can't be permanent, not with Jos set on making his own way. Then a distant relative emerges, determined to destroy Jos's family, and Kip knows Jos needs him - even if he's not ready to admit it. Members Reviews: story 50/50 . narrator horrible!!! Any additional comments? Kip is a cop on the Carlisle police force and, while responding to a call, finds Jos and his 4 year old brother, Isaac, huddled in a doorway in the rain. They are homeless after losing their mother and their apartment. Kip is very nice man. But the Jos character was driving me mad! I didn't feel the connection between the Kip and Jos. Its not a bad story but not the great one ether . Narrator was so bad! The 4 years old boy was sound like an 80 years old cranky man. Jos voice was so unpleasant, it was hard to concentrate on the story Good Wonderful love story. Not really very hot, but has a lot of nice moments. The narrator did well with the characters . Once or twice there was a repeat sentence but not to bad. Love this series! Another great book from Mr. Grey . Loved listening to it , narration was a little off in some places but it was good anyways. The audio is so, so bad. Would you be willing to try another one of Randy Fullers performances? No, I will never get another one of his productions. Any additional comments? I cannot stress how bad the audio is. Both performance wise, and production issues. It's so choppy, audio leveling, sounds like an echo sometimes, and sometimes there's one-word edits that are so jarring. Comfort listen I have listened to many of AGs books and as always this one is a comfort listen that does not really impres but isnt bad either. The summery kind of says it all. No surprises, thats the storyline. The narrator could have been better - i didnt like that the kids voice was kind of nasal and irritating. Otherwise he is not bad, just mediocore.

Will gets fired for letting fifth graders read Harry Potter, and Kenny finds his boyfriend and his sex toys in bed with a complete stranger. When Will knocks over Kenny's trash can-and strews Kenny's personal business all over the street-it feels like the perfect craptastic climax to the sewage of suckage that has rained down on them both. But ever-friendly, ever-kind Will asks snarky Kenny out for a beer-God knows they both need one-and two amazing things occur: Kenny discovers talking to Will might be the best form of intercourse ever, and Will discovers he's gay. Their unlikely friendship seems like the perfect platonic match until Will reveals how very much more he's been feeling for Kenny almost since the beginning. But Kenny's worried. Will's newfound sexuality is bright and glittery and shiny, but what happens when that wears off? Is Will's infatuation with Kenny strong enough to stay real? Members Reviews: Made me laugh out loud! What did you love best about Shiny!? Tyler Stevens did a wonderful job in his characterizations! It was a sweet refreshing story by Amy Lane. I love that lady, what a great author! What other book might you compare Shiny! to and why? Maybe superhero by Eli Easton or any book by Lane Hayes. What does Tyler Stevens bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voices were hilarious! He did a great job! Who was the most memorable character of Shiny! and why? Kenny and Will. The beginning of their relationship still makes me laugh and the conversation that Will has with his mom where he blurts out he is gay, still makes me laugh Any additional comments? Great story, Great narration, you will not be disappointed! Sweet and simple, entertaining and nice Lovely characters, simple but fun storyline, the narrator did a great job! I really like this author. A happy story from the queen of angst Any additional comments? Amy Lane is known for her angst. This book has almost none! This is a very sweet and happy book about Will coming to grips with his sexuality and falling in love with Kenny. Until he met Kenny, Will just never thought of himself as a sexual being. Hes very naïve (he gets kicked out of a Christian school for teaching the kids Harry Potter) and hes a big, bulky, but gentle, dork. Kenny is an overachiever and workaholic, always dressed to the nines, who is working so hard he doesnt realize his live-in boyfriend is cheating on him a lot! When he figures it out he throws away everything they may have used together which means an entire drawer full of shiny, gaudy, outrageous sex toys and puts them in a box on top of his garbage can. Will bumps into this garbage can and is attracted to the shiny objects. Later, hes shocked when Kenny explains what the objects are. This starts their improbable relationship. Kenny drops some hints and then later some porn and dildos into Wills lap hoping to trap that mythical beast the straight guy who doesnt know hes actually gay! When the trap is laid, Will stumbles into it head first and WOW is he surprised at what he finds out! The rest of the story is a mix of Will exploring his sexuality and the developing friendship and work relationship Will and Kenny have and then later their coming together as friends turned lovers.

Notes of a Crocodile Audiobook by Qiu Miaojin, Bonnie Huie - translator

Title: Notes of a Crocodile Author: Qiu Miaojin, Bonnie Huie - translator Narrator: Jo Mei Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Editors' Choice The English-language premiere of Qiu Miaojin's coming-of-age novel about queer teenagers in Taiwan, a cult classic in China and winner of the 1995 China Times Literature Award. An NYRB Classics Original Set in the post-martial-law era of late-1980s Taipei, Notes of a Crocodile is a coming-of-age story of queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan's most prestigious university. Told through the eyes of an anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, this cult classic is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by an incisive prose stylist and major countercultural figure. Afflicted by her fatalistic attraction to Shui Ling, an older woman, Lazi turns for support to a circle of friends that includes a rich kid turned criminal and his troubled, self-destructive gay lover, as well as a bored, mischievous overachiever and her alluring slacker artist girlfriend. Illustrating a process of liberation from the strictures of gender through radical self-inquiry, Notes of a Crocodile is a poignant masterpiece of social defiance by a singular voice in contemporary Chinese literature. Members Reviews: Five Stars Book as described; prompt shipment; thanks! "A Survival Manual for Teenagers": And Adults, Too Those who follow my reviews know that translated fiction is one of my obsessions, so I was delighted to discover NYRB's reissue of the Taiwanese cult classic of queer literature, Notes of a Crocodile. Described by its translator Bonnie Huie as a "survival manual for teenagers, for a certain age when reading the right book can save your life," Notes of a Crocodile nevertheless has much to offer adults, particularly those who are cisgendered. I must confess to being confused by the book's structure for a large chunk of its relatively modest length. Qiu Miaojin moves back and forth between two narratives, with their only connection being thematic. The first story is the one I was expecting from the publisher's description: that of "the coming-of-age of a group of queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan's most prestigious university." The second story provides the novel's title: a crocodile wearing a human suit, à la the dinosaurs in Eric Garcia's Anonymous Rex series, muses on how people vehemently advocate both for and against crocodiles, despite knowing nothing about them and not even realizing that at least one crocodile lives and works among them. At the risk of stating the obvious, the common theme is separation, isolation, and the tendency of some people to make authoritative statements about a group whose experiences they do not share: "In the final analysis, our knowledge and understanding of crocodiles is but a microorganism on a fingernail. But in the customary practice of advanced nations, we will safeguard information within the grip of our metal jaws, holding on as if our lives depended on it." Sound familiar? Notes of a Crocodile concludes with a message which should be emblazoned on the blackboard in every classroom in the world, from preschool to university: "The deeper you love, the deeper your compassion grows and the more you realize that the other suffers just as you do.

Crossing Borders Audiobook by Z.A. Maxfield

Maxfield Narrator: Tobias Silversmith Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-16 Publisher: Z.A. Maxfield Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Two dudes walk into a bookstore. Tristan knows he's got issues. His latest ex-girlfriend knows it too. He can't blame her for dumping him - even though she gets her brother to do it for her. Since he can't stop staring at said brother's package, he figures it's about time to put a label on those issues. He likes guys. He heads to a local bookstore with what he's sure is a foolproof plan to find someone to show him what he's been missing. But who should crash his little adventure? Officer Michael Truax, who gave him a really expensive ticket back in high school for skateboarding without a helmet. Michael has been trying to catch Tristan for years, to give him a second ticket. Suddenly faced with "Sparky" all grown up and looking to get laid, Michael's protective instinct kicks in - and presents him with an opportunity that's hard to resist. After all, the kid must know what he's getting into, so why not? But when a man with a plan connects with a man with a hunger, the result is nothing short of explosive. Members Reviews: Sweet, insta-love, with hot sexy times! Any additional comments? Okay, so here's the skinny. This was actually one of the first M/M stories I ever read, so it will always have a special place in my heart. I loved the whirlwind romance between nineteen year old Tristan and twenty-seven year old Michael. That being said, sometimes it's a good idea not to go back and revisit some stories. The intensity of the insta-love was jarring to me with this read. The same points I loved when I first read this years ago now make me cringe a little. But I still love the sex scenes, and the terrific family dynamics, and how much Michael and Tristan love each other and work to be with one another. The narration itself was good, except I really didn't like the voice used for Tristan. Tristan is described as a sort of punk-skater-boi with long hair who has been banging chicks left and right before he comes to terms with his homosexuality and the voice Tobias Silversmith uses is...delicate. Almost feminine. It didn't match up with my idea for how the character would sound and that took me a long while to stop trying to force my expectation of the voice and just enjoy the narration. I really liked Silversmith's range, tone, and emotion. Once I stopped trying to backseat-narrate I really enjoyed it. If you like a super-sweet insta-love romance with an age difference between lovers and some really hot sexy times you should check it out. Awful Narration - Ruins a Good Story Would you try another book from Z.A. Maxfield and/or Tobias Silversmith? Yes, for Maxfield. I thought this book was perfection in kindle format. I was so excited to see it on audio - and then terribly disappointed when I heard it. Very very poor choice of narrator for this story. It was like he was reading a phone book. I'm not a big fan of Maxfield but I really liked this one (written version). What did you like best about this story? Interaction between Tristan and Michael. Would you be willing to try another one of Tobias Silversmiths performances? No, I actually avoid anything done by him. Sorry. I won't buy a book with him doing the narration - he's right up there with Jeff Gelder - I won't buy any of his audio performances either.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Ryan Trexler has devoted his entire life to his family's security business. And now that he's slated to take over the reins of the company, RT knows his life is only going to get more complicated. Add in the fact that he's lusting over one of the men who works for him, and RT realizes that there are some seriously tough times ahead. Zachariah Tavoularis - nicknamed Z - has been employed by Sniper 1 Security for a decade. Despite being known as the most loyal enforcer outside of family, Z also has a reputation for being quite the playboy, though that was based more on rumor than fact. When an assignment comes up that forces the two of them to work together, Z knows it's time to show RT he's not the man everyone thinks he is. Can they complete the mission despite the fact that it puts them in a tenuous situation, bringing them closer than either of them ever expected? And will Z allow RT to convince him that they can never be together, no matter how much they both want it? Members Reviews: Why 3 narrators? Very confusing. The story was enjoyable enough though I would have liked more plot/action or suspense. While the 3 narrators were good, I did not see the necessity for the third guy since this isn't a menage and the 3 narrators weren't all that distinctive. They are also not narrators I'm familiar with so I had a hard time telling who was speaking and who was doing the narrative portions. A waste of audio production money, IMO. Two narrators would have been great, if their voices sounded different. It surprised me...it really did... Any additional comments? Didn't listen to the first one, Nicole, but I am considering it. I am guessing I don't have to to have enjoyed this one as much as I did. Dear Listener, I liked it...the 5 stars are for the fact that I'm a sucker for alpha gay men love stories. And thank God they were openly gay from the start. As I have shared in other reviews, it gets old listening to this back and forth with trying to figure out if they should, or shouldn't, could or couldn't..this, admittedly, had the same element, which frustrated me at times, but I am just more patient with openly gay males I suppose...although I revel in joy when straight men come into the light of gay love...I'm blathering...take the time to listen...I liked it. RT and Z are awesome! RT and Z were great! Lots of action and an almost never ending supply of hot guys! This is a definite turn from Nicole's previous series' and I love it! love it No matter how many times in listen. i love this book. cant wait for the next one. A great read I loved the book. Could not put it down. The narrator's we're great. Great story line loved the cast of characters.

It is an alternate retelling of how Nick and Bane meet and is not part of the main Cursed timeline. Nick Fairfax needs a sugar daddy to pay for his last year of art school. After being disinherited and kicked out of his house for pursuing his dream of becoming a photographer, Nick heads to the exclusive club, Smoke, where young men sell themselves to the highest bidder. Nick gets in trouble with a man who won't take "no" for an answer. Lord Bane Dunsaney comes to his rescue. But does the mysterious billionaire pose a greater danger to Nick than the one he saved him from? Members Reviews: Ends on a cliffhanger... Any additional comments? Note, this ends on a cliffhanger, and because it is apparently "an alternate retelling of how Nick and Bane meet and is not part of the main Cursed timeline" there is not a follow up to continue the story. Not that I'm sure I would want to, personally. There were a lot of my personal pet peeves in this (purple prose, and a lot of "older man", "bigger man", "younger man"), as well as very little character development. I haven't read the Cursed series, so I didn't understand much of what was happening, and the author didn't seem to take any time to try to explain to new readers what was going on. (i.e.: Did Bane own Smoke? Why was he "cat-like"?) and the "romance" was far too insta-loveish without really benefiting from an explanation of why Nick or Bane fell for each other, other than one erotically sexual night together. I got this under the Whispersync deal, and Michael Pauley was at least entertaining to listen to, but I wouldn't recommend the story. it is so good i loved this story so much it is so worth it you will not be disappointed i love it so much,! Satisfying and Cute As expected from X. Aratare, another wonderful, cute, and never shy story. I read the original Cursed and loved it very much and to hear this one was amazing. Michael Pauley is an amazing narrator too! Oh, I enjoyed listening to him unfold the story. I love how his voice changes. I especially love it when he reads Bane's part, it was believable! There are some parts where it got kind of awkward with the narrating, but I still enjoyed the story very much. Thank you for existing X. Aratare and Michael Pauley! So much love I cannot find words enough to say how very much I love this story and these characters. I have read the retelling and this side story was like a druggie getting their fix until the other story gets finished. Sooooo looking forward to that but this is a good fix and not to be missed. Enjoy the story it's worth it and then some. "thanks for listen,I'm Michael Pauley fox news." this was a good story although the narrator sounded like a news reporter at times I appreciated the effort, like when the story said a character laughed...he laughed, but this was a good short story and it made me want to get the actual book.

Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 94 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When Nicky Hauser walks in on his restaurant-owner boyfriend having sex with a waiter, Nicky loses his lover, his job, and his home all in one night. Although hes nearly thirty, hes never settled on a true career, and he has nothing to show for his years with Tom. Depressed and unable to find work, Nicky ends up couch-surfing with friends until he lands a house-sitting gig for a wealthy family. When Nickys clients discover that he loves to clean, demand for his services skyrockets. Word of mouth leads him to Spencer Cartwright, a busy computer consultant and a slob. Spencer and his wife divorced when he came out, but hes never found the time or courage to settle down with a man. As Nicky sets Spencers house to rights, the two men find friendship. But Nickys past experiences make him wary of risking everything on love. Members Reviews: A nice listen but not my favorite Kim Fielding *3.5 stars* Good, light contemporary story about an aimless man finding purpose as a housekeeper for a newly out divorcee. The story was easy listening. Sweet, no sex on page (drat!), and tender, I enjoyed this novella. However, I had some minor issues. First of all, I thought that the content was too heavy on the buildup to the relationship and less on the delivery. Almost the entirety of the story is the lead up to Nicky and Spencer getting together. There is a lot of focus on Nicky's breakup with Tom, which would have been great except for the fact that it made the back 1/2 of the story feel rushed and underdeveloped in comparison. I liked Nicky and Spencer together and I would have loved to read more about them and their dynamic. I also wanted to know more about Spencer, who remained somewhat of a mystery to me. In terms of the narration, I thought it was just okay. I really like K.C. Kelly, but I'll admit he was an awkward fit for this story. His voice is too old and he had too little vocal differentiation between all the characters. He is a better match for stories with more mature MCs or something more soulful, with his deep, resonating voice. I would have liked someone more fresh who could have matched Nicky's personality better. All in all, a decent listen and a nice way to pass the time. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Enjoyable Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Depends on what they were in the mood for. It's a fast, fun read, but I wanted a bit more romance. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Anticlimatic Have you listened to any of K.C. Kellys other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes I have, I love his barritone. Do you think Housekeeping needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Nope. Any additional comments? Nicky Hauser has spent the last five years with a man that not only didnt appreciate him, but cheated on him more than once. When Nicky walks in on his partner, the man he shares his life and home with, banging one of their waiters in his office, Nicky can no longer pretend not to know what Tom is doing. He couch surfs for a while until the opportunity to house sit falls into his lap. The couple is so impressed with how immaculate their home is upon their return, that they start suggesting Nicky to their friends, and Nicky turns it into a solid income from there. That is all Spencer Cartwright is supposed to be, his employer.

Trial by Fire Audiobook by BA Tortuga

Title: Trial by Fire Author: BA Tortuga Narrator: Rusty Topsfield Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 81 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: One Aussie. One Texan. One baby. One hell of a fight. When his sister and her husband are killed in an accident, Aussie cattle station owner Lachlan McCoughney rushes to Texas to rescue their infant daughter, Chloe. He expects to find his niece living in squalor with the Sheffields, a rodeo family. Instead, Lachlan finds Holden Sheffield, a salt-of-the-earth cowboy, running a huge business operation. They want to explore their mutual attraction despite the many problems thrown their way, and together, they must find a way to give Chloe a new family and find a love that spans thousands of acres and two continents. Members Reviews: Insta-romance with some suspense and humor Any additional comments? This fun and sweet romance actually has a little bit of everything: humor, insta-love, suspense, some emotionally charged scenes, action, heartache, some sexiness, and even a kidnapping! For over two years Aussie cattle station owner Lachlan McCoughney has been looking for his runaway sister. Instead of the happy reunion he hopes for he instead finds out his sister and her husband have recently been killed in a plane crash leaving behind their infant daughter in the custody of her husband's twin brother, Holden Sheffield. Lachlan immediately rushes to Texas to take custody of his niece from Holden. There's friction between the two at first, but, of course, that friction turns to sparks and the two fall in love. Lachlan recognizes how perfect Holden is with their niece Chloe, and he tries to work out how to break it to his parents that Chloe will be staying with the family she already has. However, when Chloe is kidnapped the two men must work together to bring her home. Yes, it is bit dramatic at times, and the insta-love is super fast (especially under the circumstances), but I was prepared for all of that and enjoyed it all. The only thing I was baffled by is how Holden, who runs a huge rodeo operation in the U.S., and Lachlan, who runs an enormous cattle station in Australia, would be able to make a relationship work. In the end obviously there's a solution, but I didn't quite buy it. I found myself having to suspend my disbelief a lot in order to enjoy the HEA. Rusty Topsfield is a great narrator and I enjoyed the narration overall with one glaring exception. I'll admit I didn't care for his Australian accents. Though I give full kudos for him making an effort, I felt like his Aussie needs some work. If you're looking for an insta-romance with some suspense and humor, and are a fan of the Dreamspun Desires series, I think you'll enjoy this as much as I did. Really enjoyable I I like the characters and the narrator and can't wait for the next book. Rusty's accents aren't that great but good emotion Lachlans sister Adie left her life of cloistered richness to run away with a rodeo bull rider who is the twin of Holden Sheffield. When she and her husband die they leave behind a 3 month old baby girl that nobody in Lachlans family knew about but are determined to keep. Holden is of the impression that the McCoughneys are ruthless snobs who cant possibly be good enough for his little niece even though her new uncle is a hottie. When the ranch faces some danger including the kidnapping of the baby! everyone must band together and when that happens some surprising feelings surface. ** Boy oh boy theres a lot going on in this story.

Sultry Sunset Audiobook by Mary Calmes

Title: Sultry Sunset Subtitle: Mangrove Stories Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 201 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Hutch Crowley is well-liked in the small resort town of Mangrove - he's got friends in his new neighbors, he's the owner of the town grocery, and he's building a community center - but he's still unlucky at love. Every man he's attracted to is either taken or simply not interested, including his best friend, Mike Rojas. When Mike came to Mangrove two years ago, Hutch gave him a job and a place to stay in his guesthouse, where Mike has remained ever since. Despite the rumors circulating about them, Hutch knows Mike is straight and looking for the right woman. But his friends disagree, and after some hints to the contrary, even Hutch finally has to admit that maybe the rest of the town sees something he's been missing. If Hutch wants to spend each sultry sunset with the man of his dreams, it might be time to figure out what's going on with his best friend's heart. Members Reviews: Greg Tremblay is fantastic!! Any additional comments? I feel like this was more a set up for future novellas than it was a fully realized novella itself. Hutch and Mike don't even realize they're supposed to be together until more than three quarters through, which I wouldn't mind except the sexy times lacked the heat M.C. usually brings to the party. Still, I didn't dislike it and will continue with the series, mostly because it's Mary Calmes. Greg Tremblay, once again of course, delivers a fantastic performance, so it's worth getting just for that. Sultry indeed! What did you love best about Sultry Sunset? Greg Tremblay's narration What did you like best about this story? Getting little tidbits with characters I love in the series and finding new favorites. Which scene was your favorite? I think the chase between Hutch and the good doctor after the cranky town council bitch got Hutch riled up was hysterical! Who was the most memorable character of Sultry Sunset and why? Hutch, he was so unknowingly sexy and sometimes infuriating. Any additional comments? The men of Mangrove continue to grow and pair up. Fans of this series of short stories will remember Hutch Crowley, the owner of the town grocery, from the last story and that ill-fated date. In Sultry Sunset, Hutch is still single and still in love with his best friend, but damned if hell tell Mike because hes convinced Mike is straight. While Hutch works on the community center and has run-ins with cranky old bags and confused doctors, Mike is busy bedding every available woman in town in an attempt to convince himself he is not, in fact, in love with his best friend. The thing is, anyone other than these two with two working eyes can see the way they are with each other. Subtle touches and smiles, the fact that they eat dinner together every night, and then when Hutch lands in jail, Mike is quick to come bail him out. And with that release comes a release of an entirely different nature. I absolutely love this little series of serials set in Mangrove, a quaint little beach town full of lovely gay men in search of that someone special. The community is a family of sorts with crazy old Betties, squabbling siblings and nosey neighbors to add a ton of humor to the stories. Greg Tremblay continues to carry the torch as narrator and let me tell you, hes amazing.

Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-17-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: To bond with his destined mate, an Alpha wolf must look past what he sees and trust what he feels. Bonded by their parents before they were conceived, wolf shifters Abel and Kai adored each other since they were children. As teens, the two future Alphas took the next step in their bonding process and vowed to remain true to one another until Kai came of age. But when tragedy struck, Abel felt betrayed and ran from Kai instead of completing their mating. Abel never stops yearning for the man who was supposed to lead by his side and after years without contact, Kai returns, broken and on death's door. If Abel wants to fulfill their destiny and merge their packs, he'll need to look past what he saw and trust his heart. Members Reviews: Heartfelt story with a ton of feels Ouch! Oh man. This hurt my heart to listen to. There is so much pain in the first third of this story. Most of Cardenos stories are like a blanket fresh from the dryer for me. So comforting and nice to wrap up in. But this was very prickly and I had to brace myself for the sad, sad, sad parts. I really hate it when there is a Big Misunderstanding and though thats not exactly what happened here, it is in fact the crux of the problem. Add to it years of separation and Im just a sobbing mess. What I appreciated was that once back together these two dont mess around. They talk it out and get back in the program like all those years didnt happen. Woot! Thank Goodness! In the end, as expected, we have a great, super sappy, wonderfully happy, and marvelously Cardeno story well worth the pain at the beginning. Audio I am on the fence with this narrator. He sort of reminds me of Vizzini from the Princess Bride . He has a bit of a lisp that he mostly covers up but it still slips through and to me sadly- was a distraction. I think he mostly understands and handles the emotions well. Sometimes he fell a bit flat for me especially on the non-dialog portions but there are times when he really shines in his grasp of the scene and the pacing. So while the story is a 4.5 of 5 stars and parts of the narration are as well, there are parts that are more like 3 of 5. Im gonna round down the audio and give the overall audiobook experience a 4 of 5 stars. It was good, but I think in other hands it could have been great. Robert M. Clark does a wonderful job! Any additional comments? Hurt/comfort romance with major miscommunication/misunderstanding, angst, some time apart before reuniting, bonding, hot sexy times, and getting their hard won HEA. The narration is very good and Robert M. Clark does a wonderful job with timing, character voices, emotion, and tone. He infuses the story with warmth, heat, and life. All of Me What did you like best about All of Me? What did you like least? The way Abel stayed loyal regardless If youve listened to books by Cardeno C. before, how does this one compare? It's not my favorite, but it's still a pretty good listn Which scene was your favorite? Going after step-dad Did All of Me inspire you to do anything? nope Any additional comments? Wolf shifters Abel and Kai were born mates, promised to each other by their parents. As they will both be born Alphas, their fathers (the current alphas) plan to combine their packs, therefore combining families and resources. Abel is a few years older than Kai, but they are stuck to each other like glue as children.

Unwrapping Hank Audiobook by Eli Easton

Title: Unwrapping Hank Author: Eli Easton Narrator: Tristan Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 12-04-15 Publisher: Jane Jensen Holmes Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 178 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sloane loves a good mystery. He grew up as the son of two psychiatrists, so he finds most people tediously easy to figure out. He finds his way to Pennsylvania State University, longing for a rural experience, and ends up being lured into joining a frat by Micah Springfield, the hippest guy on campus. Nothing in Sloane's classes is as intriguing as Hank Springfield, Micah's brother and fellow frat house member. Hank looks like a tough guy - big muscles, tatts, and a beard - but his eyes are soft and sweet. He acts dumb, but he's a philosophy major. He's presumably straight, but then why does Sloane feel such crazy chemistry whenever Hank is around? And why does Hank hate Sloane so much? When Sloane ends up stuck on campus over Christmas, Micah invites him to spend the holidays at their family farm in Amish country. It's a chance to experience a true Americana Christmas - and further investigate the mystery that is Hank Springfield. Can Sloane unlock the secrets of this family and unwrap the heart hidden inside the beefcake? Members Reviews: The Gift That Keeps On Giving I love all books by Ms. Easton; this is no exception. Tristan really captures the essence of both Sloane and Hank. I really like the interaction with Hank's family - Grinch stole my heart . I hope that there is a plan for Micah's audio book very soon. I really, really liked this story! Any additional comments? I really, really liked this story! The slow build-up, moving to a slow burn, then BAM! One of the best wow-I-didn't-see-it-coming sex scenes I've read in a long, long time. The chemistry between Hank and Greg is palpable even on the page. I thought Easton did an excellent job conveying Hank's struggle with wanting Greg. Though I thought, considering Hank's "struggle" takes over three-quarters of the story, he seems to get over it really, really quickly. It just felt a bit fast considering it is such a slow build-up. Regardless, 4 stars, two thumbs enthusiastically up! It's a great Christmas-themed book I'll enjoy re-reading again at the holidays. Tristan Wright does a perfectly good job with the narration. There's nothing really wrong with it, but if I'm being honest it didn't blow me away. While I found the sexual tension and UST is really palpable on page, I didn't feel it conveyed as grandly while listening. Unwrap a fantastic Christmas story! What made the experience of listening to Unwrapping Hank the most enjoyable? Tristan Wright's narration. My first time with this narrator but I'll be looking for more. He did an amazing job of making sure each character had their own distinct voice. What did you like best about this story? It was very much '10 things I hate about you' with the whole, this is why I hate you when I don't really hate you at all. Oh, and the shenanigans that ensued early on between Hank and Sloane...

Title: Tigers on the Run Subtitle: Tigers & Devils Author: Sean Kennedy Narrator: Dave Gillies Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-21-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sequel to Tigerland Young Australian Micah Johnson is the first AFL player to be out at the beginning of his career. Retired professional football player Declan Tyler mentors Micah, but he finds it difficult, as Micah is prone to making poor life choices that land him in trouble. Nothing Dec can't handle. He's been there, done that, more times than he'd like to admit. Being Simon Murray's partner all these years has Dec quite experienced in long-suffering and mishaps. As usual, Simon thinks everything is going along just fine until his assistant, Coby, tells him a secret involving an old nemesis. Simon and Dec's problems mash together, and to solve them, they must undertake a 1000-kilometer round trip in which issues will have to be sorted out, apologies are finally given, and a runaway kid is retrieved and returned to his worried parents. Members Reviews: brilliant third book Any additional comments? Just love these two. No matter how many years past, I just cant get enough. Dec and Simon, are just wonderful together. So funny, so sweet, so perfect. Dec is dealing with a trouble student, Simon is dealing with a situation at work so between them both we are lead on a merry tale of friendships, foe-ships, and a twist at the end that has me scrambling for the next audio I think what I love the most about these tales, is like spending the days with each character, like your a fly on the wall. The drama that Simon always seems to bring with him was fun and refreshing, sometimes you need this type of high drama. The love Simon and Dec have for each other just comes off the pages or in this case out of the narrators voice. The compassion Dec has for this kids helping them, guiding them. Such a great tale. Once again the narrator does a wonderful job capturing all the voices, the situations of the story. Wonderful book What did you like most about Tigers on the Run? I love the characters, Simon and Dec, the humour and the feeling of a 'real' relationship and their friends. Rich language, sexy, brilliant. Who was your favorite character and why? Simon, how could you not like someone so spiky and vulnerable at the same time. He's just so sarcastic it's very easy to relate to him. Which character as performed by Dave Gillies was your favourite? Simon again, but I have got used to the narrator now, I wasn't sure I liked him for these stories but he's grown on me. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? I can't think of anything which would be witty enough Any additional comments? I love Sean Kennedy's stories, I love the fantastic humour, the sexiness of the books without being graphic, the way in which the characters express their feelings, I am a total fan girl and any more Simon and Declan would be an automatic buy for me. Too contrived but fun Enjoyed this third instalment. But was really hoping that the reader would have finally got to pronouncing Australian towns correctly. It was bad enough that he did not take a second to learn the tune to the Richmond theme song in earlier books but it annoyed and distracted me that he never bothered to learn how to say the names of our cities.......insulting actually.

96 Hours Audiobook by Georgia Beers

Title: 96 Hours Author: Georgia Beers Narrator: Romy Nordlinger Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 198 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Erica Ryan is flying home from London after a disastrous business trip. Free spirit Abby Hayes is flying into New York City to visit her mother before jetting off again. Both end up in Gander, Canada, when their flight is diverted because of 9/11. For ninety-six hours they share a rollercoaster of emotions and find themselves drawn to one another. Will their nascent connection survive everyday life when they return home? Georgia Beers is the author of eight lesbian romances and has won the Lambda Literary Award and the Golden Grown Literacy Award. Editorial Reviews: When American airspace was closed on 9/11, many planes already in the air were directed to an unlikely location: Gander, Newfoundland. This remote Canadian town is the backdrop for renowned lesbian romance writer Georgia Beers' riveting story 96 Hours. Stage and screen actress Romy Nordlinger richly voices the emotional turmoil of Erica Ryan and Abby Haynes, very different women who wind up stranded in Gander against the backdrop of terrorist-inflicted tragedy. Inevitably, the two form a deep bond - one that may or may not last past this traumatic, history-making 96 hours. Members Reviews: Very moving and superb narration! What made the experience of listening to 96 Hours the most enjoyable? The story was a deeply woven intricate study of a harrowing time - personal relationships and the beauty of relationships. I loved it from beginning to end. What about Romy Nordlingers performance did you like? Sensitive and beautifully narrated she's also great with the accents. I really liked her for being so able to be immersed in the characters and their stories. Beautiful. I found myself very moved and wasn't sure if it was the book itself or the narration but it must be a mixture of both. Excellent Listen Woven around a very typical lesbian romance novel the author relates the story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of 9/11. During the 24/7 coverage at the time one of the great stories that was either unknown or overlooked was the way that the natives of the small Canadian town opened their hearts, their homes and their town; to the planes diverted there when US air space was closed. To see more about those events and the 96 hours in question check out YouTube's "A yellow Ribbon, Gander." The romance was the stock girl meets girl, they find a reluctant growing attraction, they fight it; then finally act on it. The good feelings are lost; they part, both are upset. Then by an act of fate they're brought back together, their hearts soar the music plays and they walk off into the sunset together. Ms. Beers is a good writer and despite the predictability of the plot you're drawn in. I highly recommend this book if for no other reason than the background story about Gander, and I thank my daughter for introducing me to this author. Thrown Together by 9/11 A lesbian romance set against the backdrop of the 9/11 attack on the twin towers? It sounds like an oxymoron but Georgia Beers knows what shes doing. I have never been so scared and on edge at the beginning of a of a book. Over the course of the book, the characters, an uptight scientist, and a wandering free-spirit, are stuck in an airport in Newfoundland, Canada, grounded by the attacks on the Twin Towers.

Wells Narrator: Cornell Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 03-10-17 Publisher: Island Tales Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: This book is an erotic gay romance, with explicit language and steamy sex between two hot guys. For 18+ listeners only. Rick Wentworth has had enough of one night stands and quickies in clubs. It takes a night of uncharacteristic hedonism to make Rick admit what he really wants - someone to love him. But for that to happen, he needs to make some changes. Rick can do that. After all, what's the alternative? And when he meets a guy who ticks all his boxes, he can't believe his luck. His boss Blake Davis, and Blake's fiancé Will Parkinson, however, aren't convinced. They want to know more about Mr. Perfect, and their instincts are keener than Rick's. Both men want to protect him. As it turns out, they needn't have worried. Rick has a guardian angel... When Angelo Tarallo sees Rick for the first time, it's a match made in Heaven, as far as he's concerned. And when he rescues Rick from danger, it gives him the opportunity to get to know the man who has captivated him. Before long, it's plain to both men that this could lead somewhere. But when Angelo's traditional Sicilian family finally discover what he's been hiding from them for so long, an ultimatum spells heartache for the lovers - and worse. Also contains a MMM scene. Members Reviews: A good sequal to Making it Personal Who was your favorite character and why? My Favorite character would probably have to be Angelo, he was such a caring person. Also, really liked how he expressed himself with his woodworking. Who was the most memorable character of Personal Changes and why? the most memorable would have to be Will because he made quite an impact in the first book Making It Personal and he makes an excellent best friend to Rick. Any additional comments? I enjoyed how this one wasn't an insta-love. These guys had to work for it & had some things to overcome. Personal Changes If you could sum up Personal Changes in three words, what would they be? Love finally found! What did you like best about this story? I loved the friendship between Rick and Will (and their co-workers) almost as much as the growing relationship between Rick and Angelo. I always felt that Rick had a great support system. What does Cornell Collins bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Well, I have only experienced the book on audio, and I feel that he did a good job giving each character a very distinct voice. When he spoke as Julian, I didn't like him at all, and when he spoke as Angelo, I fell a little in love. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes, when Angelo's family came around. His sister in particular was wonderful. Any additional comments? KC Wells is a great author with a wide range. This book, while it had seriously sexy moments, was one of her more "vanilla" stories. I loved it just as much as her BDSM stories. Cornell Collins did a fantastic job bringing Ms. Wells' story to life. Super hot sexy love story with beautiful men I loved this audio book! Superb story with plenty of twists and character development and a true love HEA. The writing was funny and clever and sweet. Rick and Angelo make such a lovely couple and their path wasn't a smooth one, but so worth it I've the end! Cornell Collins' narration was perfect for the story. Great emotion and characterisation. Highly .

Title: Out of the Blue Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Alexander Masters Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-14 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: France, 1916. The Great War. High above the carnage in the trenches, British and German aces joust like knights of old for control of the skies. The strain and tension of living every day on the edge of death leads to dangerous choices and wild risks. When British ace Bat Bryant's past catches up with him, he strikes out in panic and kills the man threatening him with exposure. But there's a witness: the big, handsome American pilot Cowboy Cooper. Cowboy, it seems, has his own ideas of rough justice. Members Reviews: Hot, hot, hot! Any additional comments? Warning: Spoilers ahead I thought this book is hot, that and well, heartbreaking. It's about World War I after all. The story revolved around British flying ace Bat Bryant whose lover Gene perished during one of their missions, and how he accidentally killed their mechanic Sid Orton, who threatened him with exposure. This book had been sitting in my audible for months as I was too nervous to read this. Because. Murder. No matter how accidental it is still murder. I know, I know, it is fiction. Still, I worried for the main character. Then of course there was the war. The pilots drop dead faster than the flies and that's saying something. Most often they lasted a day on the job then they'd be replaced by others who get replaced as well later on. Such a vicious cycle but that's war for you. As the story went deeper I dreaded the coming of a new day, because I knew another pilot will die. And that's how good of a writer Josh is, he brings the readers right into the middle of the action, make them feel dread, make them experience the war, albeit vicariously. I also loved the characters but I loved Cowboy the most. He's smokin' sexy. I could tell right away he was in love with Bat. And did I say this book is hot, hot, hot? ^__^ Haunting and Sublime Josh does it again with this memorable story narrated perfectly. I was transported back in time from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed this book. Any additional comments? I had bought the ebook of this a while ago, but for some reason just couldn't get into it. Then I saw it on audiobook and thought I would try it. The narrator really brought it to life for me. The story was very well done. I've read a few books that were preachy about how difficult and dangerous it is to be gay, but this story just brought you into the characters and their circumstances and let the reality speak for itself. It was very powerfully and effectively done. The characters are compelling as is the time period. Audible, please come OUT What would have made Out of the Blue better? This is a gay romance novel masquerading as a historical fiction. That's ok, except that I didn't purchase a romance novel, gay or otherwise, and had I known the actual intent of the author I would not have purchased it. Fair warning, in case you're in the mood to listen to a good WWI air war story and instead fly right into this little novella which is much more about cheesy descriptions of hot man-love than dog-fights.

Mile High Romance Box Set Audiobook by Aria Grace

Title: Mile High Romance Box Set Subtitle: Books 1 & 2 Author: Aria Grace Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo, Jason P. Hilton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-16 Publisher: Aria Grace Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When It's Right When Shane Greenly left his home in Casper Mountain, Wyoming, he was leaving more than just the closet. He needed a fresh start to pursue his dream of running a dog training ranch without having to deny who he really is. Meeting Alex was one of the best things that could have happened to Shane. They were at the beginning of a wonderful relationship when the unthinkable happened, and Shane had to leave. The consequences of his past mistakes could not be hidden any longer. When I'm Weak Jamie presents a flamboyant and slutty attitude to the world because he's been hurt before. Even though it's mostly an act, he hides behind his persona to keep people at arm's length. With only a small group of trusted friends, he's vowed to never allow a man to have power over him again. Power to hurt him. Power to take away his freedom. Power to label him a predator for the rest of his life. Reed and his sister run a home preschool for toddlers. His focus is on getting credentialed so he can take some of the burden from Lucy. He doesn't have time for friends, much less a lover, but when he meets Jamie, he recognizes something in the man that makes him want to get closer. Unfortunately, Jamie's past prevents him from truly integrating into Reed's future. It's not just a matter of the heart. It's a matter of the law. Members Reviews: Decent Since this consists of two books and two different narrators, this isn't an easy review to write. These books are not big on action or angst, so they're great for someone who wants fluffy romance. It's well-written on a technical standpoint, but I felt let down by how easily the issues were resolved. Despite personal tastes in novels, I wish life could be that easy. In the first book, I thought there should have been more conflict with the parents and Jacob's aunt. I enjoyed it up until they the aunt came into the picture, and then it was just too easy. On the other hand, some people really prefer that. The production quality was good, but it took me a long time to adapt to Jason P. Hilton, because his voice is deep and husky. I know a lot of people will love that, but it doesn't fit the characters on the cover. There were times when I couldn't tell who was talking. In the second book, I liked the opening. It held my attention right up until the big secret is revealed... and then it was too easy again. Just like in the first book, Aria Grace introduces characters in this one who can take the story to the next level (like Jessica) and then it just doesn't happen. I really enjoyed Michael Ferraiuolo's performance. I felt like his voice fit the characters, I could tell the characters apart, and the pacing was good. Overall, it wasn't bad at all. In fact, it is very different from most books, because there is very little conflict. I recommend this to people who want a short, angst-free romance. The chemistry was well-done and plenty believable. I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Great Story!!! Loved It!!!! I love when Shane tells his mom he is gay, and stands up to his parents that he will raise his son not them.

The Boy with the Painful Tattoo Audiobook by Josh Lanyon

Title: The Boy with the Painful Tattoo Subtitle: Holmes & Moriarity, Book 3 Author: Josh Lanyon Narrator: Kevin R. Free Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-15 Publisher: JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 269 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It's moving day at Chez Holmes. Somehow, against Kit's better instincts, he and J.X. are setting up house together. But while J.X. is off at a writing conference, Kit unpacks a crate that should contain either old books or new china. It doesn't. Within the mounds of Styrofoam popcorn is a dead body. A very dead body. There goes the neighborhood. Members Reviews: Another winner This was a fantastic listen. Kevin R. Free really knocks this out of the park. He does a perfect Kit and J.X. Now as for the story itself, all I can say is at one point I wanted to strangle Kit. He and J.X. make the big move to live together and Kit is not handling it well. Their relationship really gets tested in this one, especially when Kit does some TSTL stuff. But as always, the writing is great, funny and emotional. There is even a cameo from Adrian and Jake, so great!! I loved it! Definitely worth a credit. LOL! Gotta Love Kit's Character!!! Any additional comments? What a fabulous edition to Holmes & Moriarity! Kit takes the cake in this; from bad decision to his almost delusional innocence, I just could not stop laughing. The performance was fantastic and I, of course, enjoyed the overall semi-mystery of the story! I love J.X., and feel sorry for the poor guy to be so in love with Kit. LOL. Great audio story! Just when I want to strangle Kit... for his seemingly endless whining and angst, he comes though with the solution to the puzzle. Truly, Kit can be so exasperating sometimes and I just want J.X. to apply shoe leather to his backside. Still, it does seem he is a trouble magnet, so I suppose he has a right to b*tch sometimes. Painful Tattoo is the best of the Holmes & Moriarity series yet. Lanyon's variety of red herrings and plot twists is enough to keep even the most avid mystery solvers scrambling. And, for those of us who can't get enough of Adrien & Jake, it was a nice surprise to have them meet, and provide, for Kit, a "real life" lesson on how to be a happy couple. I decided to treat myself on my 70th birthday and The Boy With the Painful Tattoo was a terrific gift! Good going! Kit is a hard pill to take. Though I have never been let down by Josh Lanyon's ability to put together a good story, I have to say I really find the Kit character hard to take. 4 hours in and i was really tired of the whining and angst. By the end of the book I was really pushing myself to finish. Beyond that the story is well paced and thought out. I've read most of Mr. Lanyon's work and have never been disappointed. I just don't like Kit as a character. At Last Another Novel Length Mystery by Lanyon Although Mr. Lanyon has written that he tires of writing novel length mysteries, I can only hope that the fire will reignite. I've read 80% of Mr. Lanyon's work and prefer his Adrien English and Holmes and Moriarity novels best. It's the traditionalist in me. Short stories are fine literary mediums, but I prefer to work the little gray cells in my own head at the same time his detectives work their's. "The Boy with the Painful Tattoo" is written in the first person through the eyes of mystery writer Christopher Holmes. Mr. Lanyon steps into his character's voice with confidence even though he has not written a book in the series for four years.

From out in the Cold Audiobook by L.A. Witt

Witt Narrator: Charlie David Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-16 Publisher: Lori Witt Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Neil Dalton's foundation is already cracking. Grief, guilt, and PTSD have ruled his life since a terrible crime tore his world apart last year, and he's dreading a holiday visit with the family he simultaneously needs and resents. Then someone from his past shows up and rattles that shaky foundation right out from under him. First a war nearly destroyed Jeremy Kelley, then his family threw him out when he needed them the most. Now he's barely holding on emotionally. He spends his last dollar to get to Chicago and prays his former best friend won't leave him out in the cold. Neil and Jeremy spend the holidays with Neil's family in their hometown of Omaha. They struggle to deal with families, flashbacks...and feelings that haven't even begun to fade since their last failed attempt at being more than friends. As they try to repair their fractured psyches and rebuild damaged bridges, they rely on each other more than ever, but they can't deny the mutual attraction that's existed since before they were both emotionally battered and scarred. If they couldn't make it work back then, how in the world can they pull it off now? Members Reviews: This book is anything but cold. Where does From out in the Cold rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's a favorite, that's for sure. What other book might you compare From out in the Cold to and why? Any other book written by LA Witt and narrated by Charlie David. They have an amazing partnership and I love everything I listen to from Charlie that was written by Witt. What about Charlie Davids performance did you like? Everything. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Neil finally let's it all go, accepts his true feelings for Jeremy and lets Jeremy in. Decent Book, Horrible Recording The actual novel is quite alright, albeit a bit formulaic. But for all its predictability, it's covers a topic that needs to be written about, namely PTSD. It's offers both sweet romance and a glimmer of hope for people who might feel hopeless. In addition to the principle relationship, there are a number of examples of grace in other relationships. I would recommend reading this book. And I mean *reading* it, because this recording of it is substandard in a number of ways. For one thing, the narrator sounds very much like a computer generated voice. Moreover, much of the time, the recording sounds as though the blank spaces between words has been removed to speed it up. Worst of all, about half way through, the treble disappears almost completely, rendering the audio nearly inaudible unless the listener goes into her or his settings to put the bass on minimum and the treble on maximum. Obviously, this made the sound quality even more unpleasant than it already was. I hate to say it, but this recording should not have been released. It demonstrates a very slipshod attitude toward production values. Wow! "It's a welcome addition to my library. I've read it twice, and , as with his/her other books, I'll probably read it multiple times. It's not often, I find an author who make a story not only believable, but enlightening. Enjoyable Good book for a simple relaxing time. What I expected.

Olive Juice Audiobook by TJ Klune

Title: Olive Juice Author: TJ Klune Narrator: Derrick McClain Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It begins with a message that David cannot ignore: I want to see you. He agrees, and on a cold winter's night, David and Phillip will come together to sift through the wreckage of the memory of a life no longer lived. David is burdened, carrying with him the heavy guilt of the past six years upon his shoulders. Phillip offers redemption. Members Reviews: Yes, you will probably cry. If you haven't read this, then do yourself two favors: 1. No spoilers. Because you have to go into this blind, okay? Seriously, please don't read any spoilers because you'll miss out on the total emotion of this story. Yes, it's heartbreaking. Sure there's a happy-ish kind of ending, but the reality of the story (of how this happens every day) left me...bereft and just kind of...shattered. And Derrick McClain? Well, he just shattered me all over again. His narration has the kind of emotion you hear from people who have lost everything. Who have hit the bottom of tolerance for the world and all its cruelty. The story is so well crafted, and seen solely through David's POV, it renders your heart in two while still giving glimpses of hope and redemption and love and perseverance. Because the not knowing was the worst thing of all. When you didnt know, you were stuck in this limbo. You didnt know who to focus your anger on. Your confusion. Your fear. Your anguish. So it went wherever it could, that focus. And sometimes, it went toward the wrong person. I just want to find David and Phillip and give them long hugs. This is not a fast paced narration. There is a deliberateness to McClain's voice work that, to some, might seem slow. The writing, for me, was brilliant. The writing needed narration that would really be just as brilliant. It needed a narrator who would pull the nuance of emotion and brokenhearted pain and weave it throughout the spoken words without crushing the listener. Most of all the narrator needed to pull off the ending. To render hope where it seemed hopeless. Derrick McClain delivers on all counts. 2. If you love a good Hurt/Comfort story and can stand some heartbreak and maybe even some wookiee cry face...buy this. Unforgettable! First, let me start by giving the best advice I can muster after having listened to every second of this 5 hour and 11 minute masterpiece: Grab a bottle of vodka, a box of tissues and buckle up because it's gonna be a looooong night! It's officially 'the day after' and I'm still recovering..... This story touched my heart on more levels than I could have imagined and without giving away spoilers, all I can do is recommend that you listen to this tragically beautiful story about life, love, loss and everything in-between. TJ Klune proves yet once again he is an amazing writer and that he's made another perfect decision to have Derrick McClain bring his characters to life. Bravo, Gentlemen!!! Emotional Incredibly heart-wrenching is how I would review this book. It left me as an emotional trainwreck by the end. Do not read spoilers before going into this book.

Chevalier Audiobook by Mary Calmes

Title: Chevalier Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 131 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Fireman Mason James thought finding out he is a Romanus - a rare class of gargoyle - would be the surprise of a lifetime, but he's proven wrong when he discovers he is the son of a comte and goji nobility. But his newly discovered family doesn't think his gargoyle lover, Luc, is good enough for a goji of Mason's stature - how could a warrior ever be? But despite the Moreaus' uncertainty and elitism, they are Mason's only chance to unravel the mystery behind his mother's death, find a solution for the class divide that might separate him from Luc, and discover what it truly means to be a Romanus. Members Reviews: Greg Tremblay gives another fantastic performance! Any additional comments? What can I say? I love Mary Calmes and Greg Tremblay. Add them together and I am one happy camper. Though you could enjoy Chevalier without first reading/listening to Romanus, I would not recommend it. Picking up a year after the end of Romanus, Mason "Mace" James is settled into his chasse (or tribe) of gargoyles, doing well in his day job as a fireman, and realizing the future he wants with his lover, Luc. I loved how, once Mace accepted his feelings and hope for the future, he was unwavering in his love and support of Luc and their relationship. I especially appreciated the history and explanation of Mace's goji roots we get in this installment. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Greg Tremblay's narration! Tremblay's character voices and accents are lovely, and he illustrates the emotions (passion, tenderness, exasperation, and even anger) in the story so well, managing to draw the listener in almost effortlessly, creating a whole world that I didn't want to leave. Greg Tremblay gives another fantastic performance! Recommended. Amazing sequel First, you must read Romanus before you read this. It wont really make sense as a standalone. We met the two lovers Luc and Mason when Mason had stumbled upon Lucs chasse of gargoyles to find out that Mason was actually a Romanus, something revered by the gargoyles. Unfortunately, they dont know much about what that means and the main driving force in this story is to find out just what it means to be a Romanus so that the tension in the chasse will let up. Theres an added element of mystery when a family comes from France claiming to be related to Mason. Some threats are made and Mason and Luc fly over the ocean to research being a Romanus with the keeper of the gargoyle history and to find out more about Masons family as well. Meanwhile, at every turn, Luc is met with derision, scorn and contempt because he is of a lower class than the Romanus at least historically. Mason will have none of this and this helps Luc and Mason to iron out their own relationship issues. ** I fell in love with Romanus years ago and was so psyched to see this sequel finally come about! It does not disappoint! In typical Mary form, Mason is absolutely perfect, Luc is tough as all get out and the bad guys are really bad and easily seen through. But theres some fascinating twists and turns this story takes that keep the storyline fresh and proves to me again that when Mary writes paranormal she really shines her brightest. I loved this sequel and highly recommend it to fans of paranormal stories, fans of Mary Calmes and fans of Romanus and Gargoyles in general. Audio Greg Tremblay rocks this - AGAIN. He's such an amazing performer.

Victim of a terrible accident, famed composer and pianist Graham Yardley loses sight, heart and soul. Wealth and fame mean nothing after the devastating loss of her beloved music; her life is reduced to silence, darkness, and bitter regret. She retreats to a bleak mansion atop windswept cliffs, her once consuming passions are now a source of anguish and fear. Then Anna, a lost woman seeking a place in the world, comes into her life and awakens feelings she thought were dead forever. A fragile melody of love is played between these damaged souls, a song made sweeter and stronger by the day. But will their blossoming romance be destroyed by an outsider's greed or will it succumb to the discord of Graham's tormented heart? Can Graham find happiness with Anna, caught up in the fiery overtures and darkly gothic strains of Love's Melody Lost? Members Reviews: Listen on slower speed The narrator seems to be in a huge hurry to get through the story. Story is okay, probably better in print. It was refreshing not to have anything harden on contact in a radclyffe book for once. Killed by the narrator... The story was nice but the narrator killed it (and not in a good way). She gave the wrong expressions at the wrong time and to the wrong parts of the story. The emotions in her reading were off and it ruined the story for me. (To the author). Stick with Abby Craden or Nicole Zanzarella, they bring your stories and characters to life. Nicely Done Another audio nicely done by Bold Strokes & Radclyffe. I enjoyed the story & thought the description of Yardley Estate, Graham, & things of a Concert Pianist was wonderful. The narrator did a good job . I highly recommend this audio. Narrator spoke way too fast. The narrator spoke very rapidly throughout the book. It felt rushed, and made me feel rushed. Will there be a sequel? Loved the story, knew that I will love it. But the narrator was in a hurry, I felt like shouting to herhey, Paige where are you running? Who is perusing you? Well I didnt I think that the Voice she has is very good, even if she chose this alarmed higher pitch Voice for Anna which I didnt care for. So next time Paige, slow down just a little and dont use this higher pitch for an adult even if she is younger than the main character Last, I am looking forward to more books like that from Radclyffe.

Instead of adapting to being the mate of tribe leader Logan Church, Jin can't get past the fact that his lover was straight before they met. He's discovered the joy in belonging to Logan but fears his new life could disappear at a moments notice, despite Logan's insistence that they are forever, end of story. Jin wants to trust Logan, but that desire will be put to the test both by a rival tribe leader and by a startling revelation about Jin's existence. At stake is Jin's life and his place in the tribe. If he's going to survive to see Logan again, he'll have to release his fear and freely accept the bond, for only then can he truly trust. Members Reviews: Wonderful 2nd book, less than stellar narrator. I love this genre and story line and was ecstatic to see the second book here. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to who the narrator was until after I had purchased the book. I was all set to hear Sean Crisden, and it was such a let down. I see that the first book has a different audio publisher so this explains the new narrator. I wish I had not purchased this book. Jeff Gelder's voice makes it difficult to follow which character is speaking at times, not to mention the monotone and dull recitation with a decided lack of inflection at times. Another problem is the difference in pronunciation of the special titles and words used here, but this just goes back to the different narrators. There are also several spots in this recording where the book just repeats itself. This just shows a lack in production control and very poor sound editing by this studio apparently. I have been an Audible listener almost since the company's beginning and isn't the first time I have noticed the quality change when audio publishers change and narrators change. Listeners like consistency and we all have our favorite authors and narrators. All in all, it is a great book and if you can get around the narrator, it is a great book in the genre. Such a shame... What disappointed you about Trusted Bond? The narration was appalling! What did you like best about this story? The story itself; as in the printed version, is excellent. How could the performance have been better? Rerecord the entire thing with a different narrator who listened to the first story. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The story is great (when you read it on your own), the audiobook was so terrible to listen to that I deleted it shortly after chapter 1. Any additional comments? I read the book which was excellent, but the audiobook was PAINFUL to listen to. If you listened to the first audiobook "Change of Heart" read by Sean Crisden and expect this one to be just as good- you're in for a rude awakening. Jeff Gelder is an awful AWFUL narrator. I got through chapter 1 and part of chapter 2 and couldn't listen to it anymore, I deleted it immediately.

Title: More Than Friends: A Gay For You Short Story Subtitle: More Than Friends, Book 1 Author: Aria Grace Narrator: Douglas Dale Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-14 Publisher: Aria Grace Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Tired of moping around after the breakup of his long term girlfriend, Ryan knew he needed a hookup to get him out of his funk. When he met Drea, he hoped she might be the one. But when he felt more chemistry with her gay cousin, Zach, Ryan felt more confused and terrified than he had in his life. He wasn't gay but he wanted to be with Zach. How could it possibly work? Book one of the More Than Friends series. Members Reviews: Meh. Any additional comments? 2.75 stars out of 5 Though this has good narration by Douglas Dale, this Gay-For-You short story didnt feel like it was fully developed. One of the things that bothered me were rapid-fire POV changes that made it a little hard to follow along even with the different character voices. If I moved my attention from the narration for even a couple of minutes I got lost and had to back-track. All in all its a quick listen that I think may have been better if it had been a bit longer. Well written and narrated "Gay For You" type story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would, the narration fit the written work well. What did you like best about this story? The way they became friends before they became lovers. What does Douglas Dale bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? There were emotions evident behind his words when necessary in the story. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? How friends can become lovers. Any additional comments? Ryan is in a bit of a funk after breaking up with his girlfriend when he meets the outspoken and lively Drea at a party. He winds up spending the night on her couch and winds up feeling more of a connection with her cousin, the gamer and all around smart geek Zach, than he does with the girl he hoped would lift the fog in his head left after the break up. Ryan and Zach become friends and start spending more and more time together studying and playing disc golf, but Ryan doesnt recognize his attraction to Zach until it is almost too late. He continually tells himself and Zach that he is not gay, they can be friends, but he is not gay. Me thinks though doth protest too much. What I loved most about this story is how you could tell from that first stare that Zach was completely attracted to Ryan. But he never really pushes the issue until Ryan opens the door. They become friends before they become lovers and that aspect of the story made it more believable when the romance unfolded. This was my first audible with Douglas Dale, but Ill find something else of his soon. I could always tell when there was a change in character, mood and setting by his changes in tone, nuance and inflection. There was emotion behind his words when there was emotion written into the story and that always makes for an enjoyable listen. Ive both read and listened to this story and enjoyed both variations. Id recommend to anyone that likes a believable and well written Gay For You type story. Short Fantasy Hot gay boy seduces hot "straight" boy. Sans complications or nuance. A quickie.

Title: Tomorrow's Promise Author: Radclyffe Narrator: Natalie Duke Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 125 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Adrienne Pierce, buffeted by fate and abandoned by love, seeks refuge from her past as well as her uncertain future on Whitley Point, a secluded island off the coast of Maine. Tanner Whitley - young, wild, restless - and heir to a dynasty, desperately tries to escape both her destiny and the memories of a tragic loss with casual sex and wild nights, a dangerous course that may ultimately destroy her. One timeless summer, these two very different women discover the power of passion to heal - and the promise of hope that only love can bestow. Members Reviews: Excellent rendition! I have always enjoyed Radclyffe's romances and Tomorrow's Promise is no exception. Tanner and Adrienne also appear in the Honor series as friends of Blair. Natalie did a marvelous job in bringing the characters to life, the pacing and intonations were beautifully done. Promise is the of Navy Commander on leave, and Rich Party Girl. Promise is story told in layers like peeling an onion, Two random woman meet, One a Commander in the Navy. The other a very out rich party girl. The two have nothing in common on the surface, but as they spend time together and the layers are peeled slowly back; they have a lot more in common and both women's dark secrets come tumbling out as well. You will fall in with them as they fall in with each other on Whitney Island. Loved this one!!! It was so good to hear about Tanner and her story. I think I will re-read the entire series while this book is still fresh in my mind. great story! I couldn't stop listening to this book. loved Tanner! I actually got teary eyed near the end. of course, glad they had a happy ending. Good story I really enjoyed following this story line. it was well written, and with some laugh out loud moments. I also felt connected to both characters on a personal level. The narration wasn't bad at all. she did a good job bring the story to life.

Title: A Kind of Justice Subtitle: A Novel Author: Renee James Narrator: Ayelet Sror Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-18 Publisher: Oceanview Publishing Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Against all odds, Bobbi Logan, a statuesque transgender woman, has become one of Chicago's most celebrated hair stylists and the owner of one of the city's poshest salons. She is finally comfortable with who she is, widely admired in her community, about to enjoy the success she deserves. Then, her impossibly perfect life falls apart. In the space of a few weeks, the Great Recession drags her business to the brink of failure, her beloved ex-wife needs help in facing a terrible tragedy, and a hateful police detective storms back into her life, determined to convict her of the five-year-old murder of John Strand - pillar of the community...and a sexual predator. As the detective builds an ever more convincing case against her, both of them will be shaken by revelations - about themselves, about their own deeply held secrets, and about the bizarre ritual murder of John Strand. Members Reviews: never read a book like this sure took me to a world that I knew nothing about. transwomen and all the prejudice. bigotry and violence to them. after read this I have a new respect for them all they want is to be accepted and loved. Interesting but often tedious This is an interesting book with a transgender woman as the protagonist. I learned a lot about a world I have had little experience with. Unfortunately, the constant obsessing over her looks and her sex life becomes tedious very fast. Please give Bobbi a story she's worthy of! First of all, I LOVE the character of Bobbi Logan. She is a transgender woman running a beauty salon during the worst recession, trying to make a go of her life, find love, maintain a relationship with her ex-wife, all while being the main suspect in a 5-year-old murder. She is a strong, beautiful woman who is very empathetic. HOWEVER, the book drones on and on and on about how Detective Wilkins personally doesn't like her and is out to prove she is the one who committed the murder 5 years ago. Page after page after page where nothing happens. Perhaps that changed, I gave up waiting when I had read over half of the book. The main point of the book seems to be that we've got a transgender main character. There has to be more to the story than that. I would love to read more about Bobbi Logan, but please put her in a book with a story worthy of her. Many thanks to NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book. Raw. Beautiful. Fully Engrossing. Rarely does a novel entertain while gently questioning serious issues of modern society. This rough but beautiful portrait of a transgender woman does both, and does them well. Bobbi Logan has not only become comfortable with her new gender identity, but she owns Chicago's most fashionable hair salon, is respected in her community, and is friends with her ex-wife. Life looks good, until the recession threatens her business and a bigoted police detective accuses her of having killed an abuser of transwomenâfive years before. But as the detective builds a powerful case against Bobbi, he uncovers a series of shocking surprises about who committed the murder and why--revelations that profoundly alter the lives of three people. Renee James has written a tense and twisting tale with authentic characters and sharp, witty dialogue. In her sensitive exploration of the human need for acceptance, readers feels every emotion from repulsion to forgiveness.

Something Like Stories Audiobook by Jay Bell

Title: Something Like Stories Subtitle: Something Like..., Book 7 Author: Jay Bell Narrator: Kevin R. Free Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-16 Publisher: Jay Bell Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Benjamin Bentley and many other beloved characters from the Something Like...series make their triumphant return in this collection of short stories and bonus material. "Something Like Yesterday" travels to the past where Eric Conroy attempts to find love against a backdrop of intolerance and political upheaval. In "Something Like Fall", Ben meets Jace's family and tries to cope with many changes in the years that follow. Allison Cross finally gets her dues in "Something Like Tonight", examining the relationships in her life during a girls' night out. "Something Like Eternity" takes the series where it has never gone before as Victor Hemingway seeks out his ultimate destiny. Also included is a character guide and a timeline of key events thus far. Laughter and tears await you in this very special anthology! Members Reviews: Much as you would expect The writing is much what you would expect from a book in this wonderful series. I enjoyed each of the stories, indeed wanted more. There are parts of the book which are unsuited to audio, so it is not quite as long as it seems. I sometimes had trouble remembering who was who, and how the main story had gone, but usually I was able to remember by the end of the short story. Kevin R Free, whom I used to think was one of the best narrators, is getting on my nerves by this point. His range of accents and other vocal characteristics is actually quite limited, and as these stories focus on the characters who are usually tangential to the story, he is not using his best voices. His women's women's voices are particularly bad. That being said, if you love the series as I do, this is a must-have to add to the collection. And now the rest of the story... Most authors can tell a good story while leaving out most of the details that link the characters and situations for a short period in time, often leaving many bits of information out of the book. This is not one of those authors. This is not one of those books. Famous science fiction authors create their imaginary worlds and universes where the reader seldom has a basis to judge the imagined space in time. Jay Bell is not one of those authors. He develops characters and situations in recent to current time with all the relationships and scenarios as vivid as the real world on which they are based. This book ties together and clarifies much of the less important but not trivial details that link it all together. But still the story continues to expand as the next book/audible book arrived just as I started this one. I hope I can find out the importance of a small Missouri college town to the author that made many of the characters what they have become, something like you and me. The best book series EVER! I think that this book series deserves some kind of an award for.. being awesome! I loved the book and the forst two chapters made me cry so hard that I couldn't go to school the next morning. Not kidding. Maybe I'm just an emotional person but the books are actually amazing. I found the book something like summer by accident and was skeptical about reading it not thinking it was good. Little did I know that I'd be reading the whole series in a year and that the books would change my life.

Super Sock Man Audiobook by Amy Lane

Title: Super Sock Man Subtitle: Johnnies Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Donnie's crush on his sister's roommate Alejandro has gone beyond childhood dreams - and it's driving Donnie insane! So when Donnie gets a chance to house-sit for his sister and Yandro, Donnie doesn't feel alone. He's got all his vivid fantasies to keep him company! Can a little dumb luck - and a little help from a magical homemade gift - help Donnie's fantasies come true? Members Reviews: A SUPER short read! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes indeed. it's short, sexy, steamy and I love Sean Crisden's narration skills. What other book might you compare Super Sock Man to and why? Blue Days by Mary Calmes. Both are short and steamy and well told by excellent narrators. What about Sean Crisdens performance did you like? I always like Crisden's chops, in fact, I've bought books just because he narrated them. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me smile! Any additional comments? Fan's of the series know Donnie as troubled character Chase's best friend. I've always wanted to know more about his character and how the relationship with Chase first formed. Childhood friends, Donnie and Chase discover a lot about themselves through their friendship. The difference between the two in high school is, Donnie came out, and Chase stayed in the shadows. Donnie is young, slightly naive and totally innocent but certain about who he is and who he wants, his sisters best friend Alejandro. It's his infatuation with the slightly older and completely open young man that helps Donnie decide to be honest with his family about his sexuality. His fantasy comes to life while he's house sitting and accidentally falls asleep in Jandro's bed. Jandro has never slept with anyone. Oh he's screwed just about anyone that would allow him, but to fall asleep next to someone, to want that type of love with someone, well that is not for Jandro. Coming home and finding Donnie passed out, naked in his bed changes things. Jandro has watched Donnie grow from a shy, awkward teenager to the more assured young man that now lies ass up in his bed, stark white sheets pooled around him. Johnnies is one of my favorite series, it is emotional and dark and angst ridden, so this short story is as contrasting to the world of Johnnies as Donnie and Jandro are to each other. This was a short, steamy story about a young man that knows exactly what he wants and when offered the opportunity to have it, grabs Jandro with both hands. It's passionate, fun and full of content for such a short story. I think Super Sock Man is a nice reprieve, a little sunshine for all us fans that are anxiously awaiting the release of Black John (book 4) on Audio. Sean Crisden continues to tell the stories of Lane's boys over at Johnnies as narrator. I love the articulate tone of his voice, how he always enunciates every syllable while managing to inflect different tones for each character. If you are looking for something fast, fun and smexy then look no further. This can also be read as a stand alone as it is solely the story of Donnie and Jandro, not a continuation. But I highly recommend the series as a whole. A Small Bit of Happy I came to this story from having read Chase in Shadow and Donnie was such a strong character that when I found out he had his own book I had to read it.

Snowbound Audiobook by Cari Hunter

Title: Snowbound Author: Cari Hunter Narrator: Lesley Parkin Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 04-04-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 129 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: "The policewoman got shot, and she's bleeding everywhere. Get someone here in one hour, or I'm going to put her out of her misery." An ultimatum that forever changes the lives of police officer Sam Lucas and Dr. Kate Myles. When heavy snowfall isolates the small English village of Birchenlow, a violent robbery shatters the community. Taken as a hostage and stranded with the increasingly desperate criminals, Sam is seriously injured during an ill-fated escape attempt. Already struggling to save the lives of the villagers caught up in the raid, Kate volunteers to walk straight into the lion's den. Cut off from help, with only each other to rely on, Sam and Kate must find a way to fight the odds and stay alive. The growing attraction between them gives them an even more desperate will to survive. Members Reviews: The perfect combination of suspense and romance. I loved it! I like mysteries and thrillers with a romantic angle and this satisfies perfectly. I'm definitely waiting for the next one! Worth the read A bit predictable but good action and worth the read. I would recommend this to someone who loves an action filled romance even if you know what will likely happen. :-) caution The reader is VERY slow throughout the book, even during action and emergency situations, she is painfully slow. It made it hard to fully enjoy the story. At times it was hard to tell the two main characters apart. This definately would have been a better experience with a different reader, but the story was good regardless. Great story Loved these characters. Extreme conditions throw these characters together, and as events unfold love grows. Read this book awhile ago. Remembered liking it, so got the audio version. Really enjoyed that the narrator was British and had all the pronunciations and inflections that as an American I just couldn't great my brain to do while reading. 5 stars all around I read ebook years ago & rated it 5 stars back then. Add 0.5 stars for the audio book's narration for a total of 5.5 stars total. I've re-read it before but decided to try the audio book this time around. I think I enjoyed it more with the excellent narration. Hearing it read with an English accent really adds to the book. I'm not knowledgable enough to know if it is accurate for the area.

Fever Pitch Audiobook by Heidi Cullinan

Title: Fever Pitch Subtitle: Love Lessons, Book 2 Author: Heidi Cullinan Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-15 Publisher: Insatiable Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 290 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sometimes you have to play love by ear. Aaron Seavers is a pathetic mess, and he knows it. He lives in terror of incurring his father's wrath and disappointing his mother, and he can't stop dithering about where to go to college - with fall term only weeks away. Ditched by a friend at a miserable summer farewell party, all he can do is get drunk in the laundry room and regret he was ever born. Until a geeky-cute classmate lifts his spirits, leaving him confident of two things: his sexual orientation and where he's headed to school. Giles Mulder can't wait to get the hell out of Oak Grove, Minnesota, and off to college, where he plans to play his violin and figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. But when Aaron appears on campus, memories of hometown hazing threaten what he'd hoped would be his haven. As the semester wears on, their attraction crescendos from double cautious to a rich, swelling chord. But if more than one set of controlling parents have their way, the music of their love could come to a shattering end. Warning: Contains showmances, bad parenting, Walter Lucas, and a cappella. Members Reviews: Sensational! It would be difficult for this Book 2 to eclipse Book 1 about Walter and Kelly, but it did. Bring a box of Kleenex, you'll need it plenty. Heidi is a dream writer for this stuff. One can only hope that she continues to write and write and write. Thanks Heidi!! Thank you too Iggy! Wonderful narration, another indispensable layer to the sweet delicious dessert that this book is. this book was everything!!! I didn't think it could be better than the last one but it was! I loved seeing characters you loved from the first book. I loved the HEA but that there were real hurdles the people you cared about had to jump over to get there. it was raw, it was beautiful. worth every penny Glee+Pitch Perfect+Boy Melodrama I think Iggy Toma did a better job narrating this than Love Lessons.... Or maybe I've just gotten used to him. This has heaps of angst, the kind you'd expect from a CW teen drama. Almost everyone has some drama going on with them. And there are parent issues up the wazoo with Aaron and Elijah winning the crappiest parents award. If you like your MM romance with a lot of teen angst, a big cast of side characters, musical jargon, and if you wanted more of Walter and Kelly from the first book, then you'll love this. Narration was really good. It was easy to distinguish which character was speaking because they're given distinct voices and the paint was good. Not too fast or slow. Fantastic OMG, what a great listen. Frequently in my audiobook reviews I praise the narrator for bring the story to a new level. Although the narrator did a wonderful job, in this case the book eclipsed the narrator. I do not believe this is not a stand alone book, you have to read/listen to the first book in order to really enjoy this one. What a great ride with Aaron and Giles. Their story was a roller coaster ride of emotion, angst, horror, joy and down right whooping fun. Put it this way, while reading I rented Pitch Perfect and downloaded Titanium; a movie and a song I had never heard before, but now love. It is hard to put into words what the story (really two stories) is about. The first half of this book made me want to tear my hair out with all the misunderstandings and angst.

Now that his mother has died, he needs to make friends for the first time in his life. He catches Gavin Walker's eye, but the sexy, confident, bad boy hipster intimidates shy Davy so much that he throws away Gavin's number every time he offers it. When Gavin defends Davy from a rude guy, Davy begins to warm to him. However, with his limited experience, he thinks he and Gavin are too different, and anything more than a casual acquaintance will end in complete disaster. Members Reviews: so sad...this is one of my favorite kade books this is one of my favorite kade stories but the narration was terrible. the narration was monotone and i couldn't tell the difference between each character. there was little to no pausing during the story...like there was no punctuation even though i know there was. i highly recommend reading this story, not listening to it. It took everything in me to finish it. The narrator sounds like Christopher Walken reading a bed time story. The pacing was terrible. It got really slow. I have read fan fiction that has had less sex in every chapter. About halfway through it is just mostly smut. I think the story had a lot of potential and there were some characters that would have been interesting had they been fully fleshed out. Overall awesome Both the story and the narration were great! The narrator put a lot of emotion into the narration and characters. Each character was given a distinct voice and were easily discernable Grabage! Would you try another book from Kade Boehme and/or Sean Lenhart? First and last book from Kade Boehme. Sean Lenhart speaks like he's running out of time. Has Trouble & the Wallflower turned you off from other books in this genre? No How did the narrator detract from the book? I won't be looking for books he narrated. What character would you cut from Trouble & the Wallflower? All of them. Even the wallflower who should have been the most interesting character, had no depth at all. Trouble & The Wallflower This is one of my Favorite books. Definitely my favorite book by Kade. This book is really sweet and pulls at your heartstrings. I love cute shy Davey and how opposite Gavin is, being so outgoing, pulling Davey out of his shell. The way Davey makes Gavin work for his attention is perfect and I think it makes them work better as a couple in the end. Such a cute story. Audio - I love how outgoing this narrator is, his voices and narration for the story and characters is pretty spot on with how I think in my head they should sound. But this narration felt a little rushed at times, there were a few times I had to rewind to listen again. But overall good job and this will definitely be a re-listen in the future.

Within days, Randall's illicit affair with the professor is about to be revealed in the local press. Then, an old mystery emerges from the shadows - the discovery of a co-ed's corpse in a frozen creek 20 years before makes these accidents of the past and the present look a little too closely connected. Gradually, the three friends find themselves snared in a web of lies, a web spun long before their days at Atherton. Snowbound on the university campus, they are unwitting captives of a malevolent force that drives them inexorably toward the "snow garden" of the title - a place of nightmares that is all too real, and all too near. Critic Reviews: "In his second novel, the author, who is the son of novelist Anne Rice and poet Stan Rice, expertly builds suspense." (Booklist) "The Snow Garden offers finely nuanced character studies as its pages whiz by to its chilling conclusion." (The Advocate) "Daniels's low-key, clear voice electrifies the angst of the youngsters and increases the mood of foreboding and menace created by Rice." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: left me I tears rarely am I both horrified and moved by a book in this way. Christopher Rice manages to do both within a few pages evoking a hopeful longing usually reserved for lost friends and the missed potential futures we might have shared . He evokes the awkward transition and escape from an unsettled hometown high school experience into a new independent college life for two freshmen battered and scared by events that lead them to flee from family and friends and move across country to find themselves at a prestigious university Rice skillfully spins a tail of the social. political , and emotional pitfalls that touch his charecters in profound ways. one of my favorite thriller/mysteries from the dawn of the 21st century it is cinematic in its description of events and emotions . . Murder, Mystery and Mayhem at it's best! Where does The Snow Garden rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 10! Great storyline and characters with a mystery at the edge you won't figure out until the end. What other book might you compare The Snow Garden to and why? Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Both are very suspenseful and intriguing. What does James Daniels bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I haven't read the book so I can only speak to the audible version, but I will say I loved how he was able to convey the story and the characters well. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Murder, Mystery and Mayhem. Any additional comments? Atherton University, freshman year. Kathryn, Randall, and Jesse come from different worlds, but find themselves drawn together in unexpected ways. For each of them, college promises a bright future and a way to disconnect from a dark, haunted past. But as winter sets in, their secret histories threaten to disrupt the layers of deceit that protect their fragile new lives. Kathryn along with her roommate April, her openly gay best friend Randall, and his roommate Jesse who gives new meaning to the term promiscuous are just a few months into their freshman year at the prestigious Atherton University.

Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-15 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A premier lion shifter, Hugh Landry dedicates his life to leading the Berk pride with strength and confidence. Hundreds of people depend on Hugh for safety, success, and happiness. And at over a century old, with more power than can be contained in one body, Hugh relies on a Siphon lion shifter to carry his excess force. When the Siphon endangers himself and therefore the pride, Hugh must pay attention to the man who has been his silent shadow for a decade. What he learns surprises him, but what he feels astounds him even more. Two lions, each born to serve, rely on one another to survive. After years by each other's side, they'll finally realize the depth of their potential, the joy in their passion, and a connection their kind has never known. Members Reviews: awesome telling of an awesome story. Any additional comments? Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books. This book had several things going for it before I started. 1. Cardeno C writes (enough said!) 2. Lion shifters (I love different shifters!) 3. Its different (anything different is good in my book!) 4. Its on the longer side (224 pages) 5. The audio version is narrated by Greg Tremblay. and it did not disappoint! Hugh is a Premier Lion in a large pride. He needs a Siphon to, quite literally, siphon off his power so his head doesn't explode. Said Siphon is not happy and attempts to end his life. When Hugh realises something is terribly worng with the Siphon, lions are sent to the Siphon's room and cut him down, just in time. What follows is a journey of intense self discovery for Hugh, of discovering who this person really is who has been his shadow for ten years. The Siphon didn't even have a name before Hugh gave him Johnnie. Johnnie's upbringing had been secluded but he learned as he went along, as and when he could. His life up to that point where he really had had enough, consisted of following the Premier around, being close to him, wherever he went, whatever he did. And Johnnie really decided that enough was enough. Hugh and Johnnie's journey is beautifully written, in a way only CC can. It has drama, action, love and passion. It has new way for thinking for Hugh and Johnnie, a new concept for their pride, for shifters in general. Falling in love. There is no mating, no mate bond as such, it really is as simple as Hugh and Johnnie falling in love with each other. Its also on the longer side. Now, had I been feeling 100%, it wouldn't have taken me 3 hours to finish and I would have finished it in one sitting, but feeling under the weather meant I really had to sleep. **AUDIO REVIEW** Greg Tremblay narrates. And he does a stunning job! I have listened to Mr Tremblay's work before, but its limited to a single series, Cole McGinnis, by Rhys Ford. THAT series is told in the first person, and I was worried I'd get Cole coming through. I need not have worried at all. This book is in the third person, and Johnnie and Hugh sound just like I thought they would. I've found, if I know I might get to LISTEN as well as READ a book, I focus much more on the voices, that characters have in my head. Greg pulled both Hugh and Johnnie off perfectly, and they sounded just as I thought they would. His story telling voice is clear and even, and every amount of emotion came over in all the right places. Johnnie, with his total and utter shutdown before his attempt to end his life.

Do you believe that somewhere there's person who makes you whole? If you ran into each other at a coffee shop or on the street - would you know her? Would you have the courage to put yourself out there - to risk it all for love? Zane was sexually assaulted just days before her high school graduation - targeted because she was a lesbian. The horrific nature of that violation has left her unable to engage in intimate relationships. They were bullies and as far as she's concerned, they destroyed her life. When Jaina's mother was incarcerated, she and her brother were placed in foster care. The years spent lingering in that system have left her battling lifelong issues of abandonment. Jaina trusts no one enough to risk being hurt again. Sex is fine, but relationships are out of the question. When circumstances result in Jaina embarking on a search for her bio-family, her path will cross with Zane's. Both recognize the other as a soul mate, but will their love be strong enough to overcome a lifetime of baggage? Members Reviews: Great read Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, because the characters have real character flaws. What about Michele Mussos performance did you like? I wish she would have pause between ending the chapter and announcing the next chapter. Any additional comments? It is a good listen. If you haven't purchased one of KA Moll's books, do yourself a favorite and give this one a try. Great reading This was a great book to read. It is about the great LB GT family. It has valuable information that you can incorporate into your daily life. Great book Any additional comments? I enjoyed Soul Mates. Great story. I felt the narrator was in a little bit of a hurry. horrible narration the narration is too fast, I can't follow story. can I get a refund on this purchase? Really good story I enjoyed the story a lot. wonderful plot, easy to like characters. real life issues with a great resolution. However the narration killed it. I'm sorry but the narrator was void of emotions, she read real choppy, and made it hard to listen to. I would recommend this book to everyone, but i would by the book or read it on kindle. don't get the audio version.

Gregg Narrator: Shannon Gunn Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-06-12 Publisher: Carina Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 279 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: "Coming home from work to find my boyfriend banging our hairy, married landlord - in our bed - was bad enough. Discovering Jamie had also cleaned out my bank accounts made it officially the worst day of my life. I think I can be forgiven for wanting revenge, even if a few little laws (and possibly Jamie's nose) got bent in the process. "Fortunately, the law is on my side in the form of my oldest friend, Tony Gervase. I've tried to deny my attraction to the sexy trooper for years. After all, he made it clear long ago that he wasn't interested in me that way. But if the hot encounter in his kitchen is any indication, he is now. At least the day is ending a whole lot better than it began.... "But the morning after, the Jamie situation goes from bad to seriously messed up. The jerk's in more trouble than I could have imagined. And as it turns out, I don't know Tony as well as I thought I did, either." Members Reviews: Funny but I didn't like one of the voices **3.5 stars** I think I would have liked this better on my Kindle and rated it a solid 4 stars instead of 3.5 stars. This was my first audiobook and I'm not completely sold on it. Most of my friends loved this narration. I think the narrator did a great job except for the voice of Tony, which kiiiillllleeeeddd me. He sounded like a constipated Tony Soprano, and I couldn't feel much for him as a character because I hated the voice so much. This book had many things that I like. It was funny, it was paced well, and it had a lot of action. It confirmed that L.B. Gregg is an author to watch for me. However, I didn't like how the romance part of the book went down. I didn't really get why either of them didn't make a move until now, and I certainly didn't feel the love from them. I wanted more development of their romantic relationship. Also, Mark, who I thought was really funny and endearing, bordered on too-stupid-to-live some of the time. I honestly thought he was going to get his butt killed for most of the story. Silly man. Too stupid to live Tony of Mark and Tony is an intelligent, sweet, hot cop. Mark of Mark and Tony is childish and impulsive and no way these two are a love match. Mark makes so many irresponsible decisions throughout this story from beginning to end that it's impossible to find him attractive. Shannon Gunn is awesome as usual. But skip this one. One stupid protagonist wrecks the whole thing. At least it did for me. Not Bad Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I would say that yes, the majority of the time I spent listening to this book was worth it. Why? Because it had a good blend of a strong male who wasn't DOMineering. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? That Mark saved his sorry ex. The least interesting were some of the accents. How could the performance have been better? I enjoy accents, just not this one...it was like I enjoyed some of the accent but then there were times when I was just like 'uh no'. Did Men of Smithfield: Mark and Tony inspire you to do anything? Reminded me that I need to make sure I KNOW who I am dealing with. Gobsmacked - In a Good Way Would you consider the audio edition of Men of Smithfield: Mark and Tony to be better than the print version? Yes. I read this story a couple of years ago when it was entitled "Gobsmacked".

Title: Backwoods Asylum Author: Megan Derr Narrator: Paul Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-14 Publisher: Less Than Three Press, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 58 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Skylar is used to the way people think of him as frightening, mean, and dangerous. Snakes are not the most popular shifters around and the fact he grew up wild doesn't help. He knows the way he's chosen to live alone in the woods only makes things worse, but he didn't think it meant people thought him capable of killing a couple of wolf puppies. Determined to find the real monster who left them to die, Skylar calls up the only wolf he knows, a man he always wished would see him as more than a snake.... Members Reviews: Love Paul Morey's accent as Skylar... ....that sweet southern twang of male strength and kindness was charming. The entire story was a bit fluffy but so dang on charming and endearing. I was left smiling, my heart all beaming in happiness.lol What a great idea to create a shifter snake and werewolf romance. I wish the story had been longer because I've never come across a shifter snakes story. Skylar's history was interesting to me and I wanted more of it. I loved the inter-species romance. And, I loved when Hansel and Gretel attacked Skylar's love interest pants leg, it was adorable. They were protecting their daddy snake, too cute! Nice, sweet short story Would you consider the audio edition of Backwoods Asylum to be better than the print version? I own the ebook and that was the first book by Megan Derr that I ever bought and which led to me buying all her other titles. I bought the audiobook because I liked the ebook. Is it better? I'd say it's about even. What did you like best about this story? I liked how the story had a fairytale-like element to it. It has a contemporary setting but the characters are shifters. The narrative is easy to listen to and follow, would probably be great to listen to when you're just settling into bed. Which scene was your favorite? When Skylar's protectiveness kicked-in because of the puppies being in distress. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Some parts of it made me go 'awwwwwwwwww' just because of the sheer adorableness of the puppies and Skylar. Cute!!! Just a cute little story!!! Short and sweet!! I love Paul Morey. He does great narration. Fast paced fun read! Where does Backwoods Asylum rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Right at the top. I'll definitely listen to this one over and over again, just too much fun. What was one of the most memorable moments of Backwoods Asylum? The surprise that Brady has for Skylar at the end. What about Paul Moreys performance did you like? EVERYTHING! Seriously , this man could just sit and read the phone book out loud and I'd be entranced. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The way the pups saw Skylar for who he really was, no judgement. Any additional comments? Skylar is a snake shifter and a loner by nature. He lives alone and secluded in the woods, its the way he prefers it. But his self imposed seclusion is about to abruptly end when he wakes one night to the soft cries of a couple wolf shifter pups. Skylar reaches out for help from the only wolf shifter he knows, Brady. Skylar and Brady have always been uneasy around each other, each thinking the other disliked him, when in fact it was a mutual attraction that made them unsteady.

Love Comes in Darkness Audiobook by Andrew Grey

Title: Love Comes in Darkness Author: Andrew Grey Narrator: Max Lehnen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-18-13 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Senses Series Story. Howard Justinian has always had to fight for his freedom. Because he was born blind, everyone is always trying to shelter him, but he's determined to live his life on his own terms. When an argument with his boyfriend over that hard-won self-reliance leaves Howard stranded by the side of the road, assistance arrives in the form of Gordy Jarrett. Gordy is a missionary's son, so helping others is second nature - and he does it in such an unassuming manner that Howard can't say no. Life is barely back on track when Howard receives shocking news: his sister died, leaving him her daughter to care for. Howard now faces his greatest challenge yet: for Sophia's safety, he'll need to accept help, but will he learn to accept it from Gordy, the one man who will not curb his independence? Members Reviews: Hate the narrator/reader. Story is good. Like characters. Reader does not fit story and doesn't do the characters justice. Prefer a different reader. A Light Enjoyable Listen I liked this. I listened to it over a few days on the to-and-fro work trek. The narrator felt a bit off sometimes, which was a minor issue, but to judge the story itself, it was light and sweet. When Howard - who is blind - is left abandoned at the side of the road by his boyfriend after a fight, a stranger pulls up and helps him while he waits for the friends he has called to come pick him up. This stranger - Gordy - has an immediate attraction to Howard, and the two of them have a chance to reconnect a short while later. But dating a blind man is a no easy task, Howard knows, and having just come off a relationship with someone very controlling has been hard - Howard values what independence he has managed to create for himself. If that had been the sole source of stress in the story - these two men navigating the give-and-take issues made all the more difficult with the inclusion of Howard's blindness, then it would likely have fallen a little short. But Love Comes in Darkness goes further, and throws a massive new event directly into the life of Howard, and shakes everything to the core. Being independent is no longer the primary concern for Howard, and everything else might have to go if he's to do the right thing by those he loves. Well told, and I have realized since that this is actually book two, and that some of the supporting characters were the main pair in book one. I'll be adding it to my queue. nice, however. ... I love the story however it would have been nice for the narrator to pronounce the names of places properly Nice story I liked this when I read it, and have enjoyed the audio. Max does a good job. However I've never noticed before how many "asked" and "Saids" there are in it. Eventually it became a bit of a nuisance. Overall however you can't go wrong with an Andrew Grey.

Safe in His Heart Audiobook by Renae Kaye

Title: Safe in His Heart Author: Renae Kaye Narrator: Randy Fuller Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Andrew and Paul learned about God and Jesus in different churches and realize their views of spirituality are worlds apart. Andrew was raised Catholic and was told his homosexuality was a sin. For his entire life, he hid the truth. He married and had children to present a facade to the world that of a straight man. It's not until he has an affair with Paul, who shows him a different side of Jesus, that Andrew realizes he can be gay and still believe in God. Paul's Jesus is one of acceptance and love, and in Paul's church, being gay is not a problem. For Paul and Andrew, falling in love is the easy part of their journey. They must make it through the fires of cheating, being discovered, Andrew's wife leaving, the necessities of childcare and family life, the demands of their jobs, and working on their commitment to each other. Only then can they be safe in each other's heart. Members Reviews: 5 stars = I freaking LOVED this book!!! I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen to and review for Wicked Reads. I adored Safe in His Arms. Although its not the first of Kayes books Ive enjoyed, I didnt realize that she was the same author who wrote The Blinding Light, at least not until I started writing my review. But now that I know, I cant say that Im surprised that I enjoyed Safe in His Arms. I found the authors writing to be fluid, moving the story along with just the right amount of information provided, while withholding key pieces of info so that they could be dropped like little bombs in the relationship in a realistic manner by that I mean that neither Casey nor Taylor are very secure in what they are to one another, so theyre both hesitant to unload all their baggage for the other to see because theyre afraid of sending the other man running. While the book starts off with a bang (or should I say a blow?), Caseys need to feel safe and protected quickly propels what could have been a one-night-stand into just a bit more. Casey is needy without being clingy, or maybe I should say smothering. Despite the abuse Casey suffered as a teen at the hands of his father, he is drawn to large men, men big enough to protect him, bears and while this physical type could also do him harm, he trusts his instincts when it comes to Lon, feeling quite literally, safe in his arms. As for Lon, he tends to avoid twinks because they often want him to be their daddy while spanking and dominating them, none of which appeals to Lon. Contrary to his intimidating appearance, Lon is a nurturer and something in Casey calls to him, making him overlook Caseys twink appearance and their age difference to give him a chance a decision that benefits both men more than either would have ever anticipated. Caseys need to feel safe and protected complements Lons natural caregiver and protector instincts wonderfully and their sexual chemistry is intense, especially once Lon accompanies Casey to one of his therapy sessions and Caseys therapist is able to give Lon the reassurance and guidance he needed. In addition to the ghosts from both Lon and Caseys pasts that they must deal with, Mother Nature decides to make an appearance, adding a realistic element that had me worried (even as I knew I really didnt need to worry).

But Tom has researched beep baseball, where balls and bases make sounds to enable the visually impaired to participate in Little League. Tom spearheads an effort to form a team so Davey can continue to play the game he loves. But when Greg's ex-wife shows up with her doctor boyfriend, offering a possible cure through a radical procedure, Greg must decide how far he'll go to give Davey a chance at getting his sight back. Members Reviews: selfless love Selfless love from a dad of a newly blinded son and also from the dad's boyfriend are the hallma rks of Love Comes Home. So Good! Andrew Grey does it again! I am totally fan-girling this "Senses" series! Love the characters, love the delicate topics and the intricate stories woven together. I feel like I "know" these characters! This book can be enjoyed as a standalone but you will enjoy it more if you start at book one in the Senses series! You just can't go wrong!

Title: Tipping the Velvet Author: Sarah Waters Narrator: Juanita McMahon Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-25-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: 'Piercing the shadows of the naked stage was a single shaft of rosy limelight, and in the centre of this was a girl: the most marvellous girl - I knew it at once! - that I had ever seen.' A saucy, sensuous and multi-layered historical romance, Tipping the Velvet follows the glittering career of Nan King - oyster girl turned music-hall star turned rent boy turned East End 'tom'. Critic Reviews: "An unstoppable read, a sexy and picaresque romp through the lesbian and queer demi-monde of the roaring Nineties. Imagine Jeanette Winterson on a good day collaborating with Judith Butler to pen a Sapphic Moll Flanders. It's gorgeous" (Independent on Sunday) "She is an extremely confident writer, combining precise, sensuous descriptions with irony and wit. This is a lively, gutsy, highly readable debut" (Observer) Members Reviews: Victorian London brought to exuberant life 1888 the eye-opening journey of an innocent teenage girl from the seaside village of Whitstable to smoky, sleazy, sensuous and bawdy London. Her crush on a performer at the local Music Hall takes her from a family making a traditional living from oysters into an exciting but scary world of the stage. The title of the book gives a clue to one aspect of this cautionary tale its apparently a Victorian term for cunnilingus. This caused a stir when first published in 1998, but the book has many other dimensions and is a thoroughly absorbing view of life and love in the Music Halls of the time. Waters fast-flowing writing, beautifully delivered by Juanita McMahon, brings an unfamiliar, shadowy world to exuberant life. An extraordinary debut novel, very self-assured and great fun. P.S. I am irritated to see that Audible has labelled this and Waters other titles as Gay and Lesbian. This narrow classification belies the mainstream appeal of a modern classic. Beautifully written. I just love the way Sarah Waters writes. I got this as I really enjoyed the fingersmith and it did not disappoint. The language of the time is so authenticity written it's like stepping back in time. It gives a valuable insight to society in London in that era. I loved hearing about all the old music halls many of which just don't exist now. It was read really nicely by Juanita McMahon too. All time favourite! I could read or listen to this book over and over and never tire, every time it's new to me. A slow start but in the end a tremendous read Would you consider the audio edition of Tipping the Velvet to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version What did you like best about this story? The story becomes fascinating and is very well told. All the main characters are really well drawn and believable. Their moral dilemmas and choices are ones that ring true. The juxtaposition of a private lesbian life and the late Victorian public life of the city makes for a richness of of narrative and imagery that is constantly engaging. It is sort of like Dickens with a modern touch. However the first few chapters need a bit of persevering with. Have you listened to any of Juanita McMahons other performances? How does this one compare? I haven't listened to any others. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? For me the story provoked quite a range of feelings and thoughts.

Intense and aloof, she hides dark secrets and unhealed wounds beneath her warrior's exterior. Sean Gray is the young psychologist and senior student who threatens to bring down the barriers Drew has erected around her heart. Battle hardened and world weary, Drew discovers that Sean wields a weapon she has no defense against - tenderness. Together, two women who have accepted loneliness as a way of life learn that love is worth fighting for - and a battle that neither can afford to lose. Members Reviews: Not for me This was hard for me to finish. The story was not interesting or engaging. The characters one dimensional. The narration was fine except for when Janet spoke, it was like introspective slow asian??? It was really annoying . I also did not care for the constant use of the "hearing the characters thoughts" just too much. Maybe I have reached my Radclyffe saturation limit! Second time reading, so here's a new review The first time i listened to this book honestly i wasn't impressed. The storyline for me was hard to follow with the narrator. So whats different now, I choose to listen to the words more carefully. Drew is ex military and has suffered great loss. Susan and Shawn are twins with hidden issues themself. the backgrounds of these ladies are not exposed right away, but are casually brought out in conversations. for some this would be frustration. However, i undersrand this is more about Drew and Shawn finding eachother dispite their past. Susan's brief relaps is what finally pushes them together, and from their they can no longer hide their feelings I really enjoyed this book this time around. I felt sad and heartbreak, I felt passion and chemistry between the two main characters as if i was right there witnessing them interact personally. This book was well written full of love. So this is one of those, dont judge right away , truly take the time to listen this wonderful love story. Loved this book. Great romance and story telling. Love Radclyffe I'm always taken away. Thank you for writing this book. Good Listen and Interesting Story I enjoyed the narration and the characters. The story was interesting as well. Great romantic build up between the soon to be lovers. Warrior is a heart touching story of love, with a vet. Drew was a marine who taught self defense in the core, she also carried a dark secret that prevented her from finding love. Sean is a young therapist by day, but by night all her efforts have going to get her black belt, and now she was on the last steps to making it. Strangely on first glance they are drawn together.

Kelly Narrator: Robin McKay Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-14 Publisher: Ride the Rainbow Books Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: This is a compilation of nine lesbian short stories including: "The Old Woman": Jessica is a pretty good best friend, but she goes too far when she dares Rachel to ask an old woman on a date. Rachel has no choice; otherwise Jessica will do the asking, and Rachel has no intention of humiliating the old woman. Turns out maybe Jessica's idea was not so bad after all. There is a lot more to Ada than her age. "Funeral": Olivia takes a drastic step to combat lesbian bed death. "The Lesbian Curse": Becky and Katy are in middle school and tussling over a boy. Becky curses Katy, saying Katy will become a lesbian. "Polly Wanna Cracker": Polly is a bird. A parrot, to be exact. She follows the goings-on of her human family, especially Faye, the daughter, and Glenda, the mother. Polly knows their secrets, too. Will Polly spill the beans when she finds herself able to talk after bonking her head against a window? "What Girlfriend?": Bobbie hopes her one-night stand won't pull the U-Haul trick. "Haunted": Haunted people? Sure, they're everywhere. Haunted houses? Oooh, spooky. Good movie fodder. Excellent for campfire scares. Haunted cars? They're not unheard of. But haunted pens? Yep, they exist, as Linda and Victoria find out when such a pen brings them together. "Fortune": Best friends Jackie and Emma go to a fortune teller. Emma is shocked when the teller reveals to Jackie that Emma is her secret admirer. "Lili from the Future": It's a dream many people have; your future self visits you and f--ks you. "Lizzie": Twelve-year-old Shel is not sure if her best friend means it when he says he's going to kill a person. Members Reviews: The Old Woman and Other Lesbian Stories I really enjoy Q. Kelly's books but this book of short stories I did not like at all. I am so glad that this is not the first book of hers that I came across. I would have never given her other wonderfully written books a chance. She is a very good writer, I don't know what happened when it came to this book. Unfortunately only her short story books are available on Audible. I had the joy of reading her other books. And the narrator in my opinion did not help this book. Her voice story after story remained pretty much the same. I will be sure to stay away from any of books she is narrating. I try not to give a bad review but this book and it's narration I felt were bad.

Add that to the fact that his dream guy was his best friend's jerky older brother, Levi Baxter, and it made hooking up virtually impossible. Now home from college for winter break, Toby is a different person. He left Coburn for San Francisco, where he wasn't the lone gay guy and the only black kid in town. And yeah, he took advantage of what the city had to offer. Apparently Toby isn't the only one who's changed. Levi's not acting like the self-centered guy with all the answers that Toby remembers from growing up. Oh, and Levi's realized that he's bisexual, which makes things a lot more interesting. Heading back to college, Toby doesn't expect to meet up with Levi again, despite him being in med school not far away. A surprise visit from Levi blows that assumption out of the water. As they spend more time together, Toby sees Levi as more than just the fantasy; he's complicated, unsure, and real. But if Toby can't get out of the past and find the words he keeps locked inside himself, he'll lose his chance at Levi for good. Members Reviews: Liked the story very much and LOVED narrator The story is very good. Not surprising but still moving. It kind of reminds me of Bear otter and the kid (in the general story-Line not the writting) and since that story is one of my all time favorits in gay romance, i liked this one too. There is no humor in this one though, but you get to know the characters Well and feel for Them when they are in pain and cheers for Them when they are happy. I really love the narrators voice - so pleasent to listen to and he is good at making the stories Seem Real to the listener. He makes the story better. So worth a listen if you dont Want many surprising twists in the story but just Want to listen to a sweet story told by a great voice. Brilliant, the story was touching and felt real Would you listen to A Hundred Thousand Words again? Why? Yes! I was really touched by the story and how the characters were trying to figure out their lives. But at the same time I was constantly a bit worried about possible sudden overdramatic Hollywood moments occuring. Now that I know what happens I want to go back and really enjoy the way the story unfolds without the worry of what may come. What did you like best about this story? How it felt real and focused on the feelings. I love that the main story happened inside and between the main characters. Its not that they were not affected by external forces, but it never felt forced or like the rest of the world was just there to push them along. I'm so tired of how I feel many romance stories does not trust the relationship and personal development to be the center of the story. I hate half assed crime plots, or family and friends giving ultimatums or other overly simple scenarios. Any additional comments? This was the perfect book for me at the perfect time. I was really moved and fell in love with all the characters.

Members Reviews: Romance with a Brain The series is captivating and riveting. Ms. Bramhall always does a great job of showing as many sides as possible while challenging our intellect. love it The Writer is amazing. I loved every minute of the book. keeps you on the edge of your seat!! Frightening Plot could be seen on CCN This without a doubt was the best story of this genre I have ever read/listened to. This is the first of Ms Bramhalls' offerings that I have read/listened to and I am totally blown away. The story involves two couples who are tied together without really knowing it. Ms Bramhill kept a great balance through out the book. It was almost like reading/listening two separate books until she weaved them together seamlessly. The pace was fast without being overwhelmed. I see this as Rizzoli and Isles, Cagney and Lacey, in a James Bondish type setting. The plot lines could have been taken directly out of news sources of today, frighteningly so. Being prior military and a cop to boot I found the story is believable and pretty much accurate. The only issue that I had dealing with the audio portion, and not necessarily her fault, was when she referred to the Britishs' MI6 as M(Sixteen) very minor. I was not aware of her previous offering of "Ladyfish" and as far as I am concerned, even though this is a sequel it can stand on its own. With that being said I will definitely read/listen to "Ladyfish." Wonderful job Andrea!!! I truly enjoyed this book it was a surprise when I bought this book that it was a continuation of the other one Lady Fish, which was great. the narration was good , funny at times when it came to some.of the characters. his book was engaging, exciting, lots of awww moments and some sweet tears. there is a part that should come.with a disclaimer. as some could find it to be a trigger. the violently told rape is relived in this book more that when it's brought up in Lady Fish. However this book was well written, very likeable characters and enjoyable story line. Ho Hum Overall I was able to finish this book - so it wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. The Narrator's pronunciation of "Baby" grated on my nerves. It is supposed to be a term of endearment but she made it sound like an accusation.

Cooper Narrator: Guy Veryzer Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 150 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A Being(s) in Love Story Arthur MacArthur needs a job, and not just for the money. Before he dropped out of school to support his younger sister, he loved being a research assistant at the university. But working for a dragon, one of the rarest and least understood magical beings, has unforeseen complications. While Arthur may be the only applicant who isnt afraid of Philbert Jones in his dragon form, the instant attraction he feels for his new employer is beyond disconcerting. Bertie is a brilliant historian, but he cant find his own notes without help - his house is a hoard of books and antiques, hence the need for an assistant. Setting the mess right is a dream come true for Arthur, who once aspired to be an archivist. But making sense of Berties interest in him is another matter. After all, dragons collect treasure, and Arthur is anything but extraordinary. Members Reviews: I got bored... Got bored pretty quick into the story... stopped it. tried to re-listen like 3 times... but no.. this will be a return for sure... Narration was horrible.. I just don't like Guy Veryzer narration... Slow narration I enjoyed the story itself very much but the purposeful slow way the narrator read made it really had to get into. love the novel, narrator in audio could be better What did you like best about A Boy and His Dragon? What did you like least? I love the book and got the audiobook at a discounted rate.. It's quite an interesting story and love the characters. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I do not like the "acting" in the narration. I do not know how old the narrator is but he sounds old(the way he reads and voices speech). The narrator's voice makes the characters quite a bit older than they should be(especially Bertie). They could have found a better match in terms for the book. Was A Boy and His Dragon worth the listening time? I listened to it so i could multitask. but it wasn't the best audiobook I have download. I have heard worse.. but it was bearable. This is one of my favorite books! What made the experience of listening to A Boy and His Dragon the most enjoyable? I have listened to this book at least 3 times. I love the characters, they are really well developed. The story is very entertaining. Definitely worth the money or credit. I would highly recommend. it is so worth it the story is a lot of romance and lots of steam i love this story it is one of my favorites

Ex-gang member Mica Butler is running from a past that just may kill her if shes ever caught. Paramedic and ordained priest Flynn Edwards struggles to recover her faith in herself and find absolution for her greatest failure. Sheriff Reese Conlon fights to embrace the joy of new life while a dark threat bears down on her partner, Doctor Tory King.In one explosive night, the destines of all involved change forever as a man with nothing to lose threatens to take anyone in his path with him to the grave. Seventh in the award-winning Provincetown Tales. Members Reviews: Radclafee Times Seven Gets better each time! Where does Sheltering Dunes rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top of the list! First it's Radclyffe at her very best. Second it's book 7 in the P-town tales and each book has gotten better than the one before it. I love learning more about this town and now she has crossed the P-town series with her Justice series and brought in Dillion Mitchell to P-town. How much better can you get than that! What other book might you compare Sheltering Dunes to and why? Man that's a hard one, without comparing them to other Radclyffe books, There is a 1960's book called The Group. (Barbara Walter's I think was in the movie version along with Candice Bergmin) and that's not even close. Maybe Stoner MacTavish only in how the writer deals with mystery and people but again that's way off. I am trying to think of a book that has a people driven story with cops, a mystery yet is more about the quirky people and there love life's. No can't do it. Have you listened to any of Nicol Zanzarellas other performances before? How does this one compare? All 7 of them now, She is awesome. Love how she does Tory and Reese's voices. And Parkers and I love all Radclyffe's world From Carter Wayne to Dillion Mitchell and How Nicol make's them all sound different! A+ Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was Awesome! Of coarse I had read the book before but listening to it made it come alive. I was on my sit when Ally didn't get to Flynn and Marie in time after she has a bad feeling. You want her to save the day but then... Any additional comments? It's just awesome but first start with Safe Harbor and work up to this book. By the time you get to Dunes you will be crazy with love for Tory Reese and the rest of the town, what a story
This book like all the others was so good. it had the edge like book 1 had the love , and struggles like book 3 . it was full of emotions and showed strong women coming together to fight against evil. ity also had a crossover witth Del , fry, and slone from the Justice Series. I do wonder why it cut short at the end. it was a slight open end to the ending I hope Radclyfe gives us a bit more. it's a series you must read. Fantastic series. I love this series! I've listened to these several times. Nicole Zanzarella did a great performance. i truely enjoyed this series why i feel so sad now. its like im leaving the town.

Doing it alone is overwhelming - especially when that loved one is a child. But ever since Ken Brighton's partner left him, Ken has spent his days at the hospital with his daughter, Hanna, hoping for a miracle. Maybe the mysterious care packages that appear for Hanna don't qualify, but they bring a spark of hope into his and Hanna's tired life - and so does Ken's neighbor, former singer Patrick Flaherty. For two years Patrick hasn't been able to focus on anything but the life he should have had. An injury robbed him of his voice, and the idea of introducing himself to new people intimidates him. But over the past months, he's watched as his neighbor nursed his sick child, and once he meets Ken, Patrick starts to crave a life with him-a life he isn't sure he can have. Ken doesn't realize he's fallen in love until the doctors send Hanna home, saying there's nothing more they can do: Hanna will either recover or succumb. Ken's heart is set on a new beginning - with both Patrick and Hanna. But Patrick's silence leaves Ken wondering what Patrick wants. Members Reviews: One of my least favorite narrators **2.5 stars** Audiobooks are extremely subjective. When you read a book yourself, you have your own idea of how the character sounds, but when you have an audiobook, the will of the narrator is forced upon you. This can be hit or miss, and I have really visceral reactions to some narrators. A few narrators have made books that might have been mediocre into absolutely fabulous reads. I have also had the opposite experience. This is one of those. I kept trying to place the age of the narrator of this book as he was reading. I even attempted to look him up online mid-book to see what I could find out about him. I finally guessed his age to be around 65, though I never got confirmation. The narrator has that ever so slightly wobble to his voice and kind of a formal accent that gives his voice an elderly feel. That is not a good nuance for this book. The narrator read this book more like a children's book than an adult M/M romance and I actually cringed at the sex scenes. It felt like watching my grandparents have sex. It really took away from the story for me. Now, the story itself was cute, if a bit melodramatic. I thought that the romance was sweet and I love a character with a disability. I had some issues with the pacing of the story (it felt very slow, but that might be an issue with the narrator again) and the lack of a story arc. I also had some slight issues with the character of the child, but I am pickier than most on that because I have a daughter about the same age and I know exactly how a kid that age acts. In addition, the way Mark was kind of forgotten about towards the end of the book bothered me (what happened with him??). Though this book is a big hit with all of my friends, I just wasn't feeling it. I think it had potential, but whether it was the narrator or the content, it just missed the mark. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** My new favorite Andrew Grey What made the experience of listening to Love Comes Silently the most enjoyable? I have read or listened to a LOT of Andrew Grey titles. I love that so many of his are available for audio.

Not a Game Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 124 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A new job, a new city, and hopefully a new life. When chubby gamer Oliver Barnaby receives a job offer from the best boutique game developer in the country, he leaves his family and his less than spectacular existence in Oklahoma without a second's hesitation. Determined to change more than his career and his geography, Oliver implements a plan to finally land a boyfriend. Step one is improving his skills in the bedroom. Attractive, successful, charismatic Jaime Snow has a life other people envy. His already booming business is growing. He isn't lacking friends. And he has no trouble finding a date. But there's an emptiness in Jaime's heart and a hole in his life that only the right man can fill. When Oliver and Jaime end up at the same bar at the same time, they each see something they want in the other. Going to bed together that first night is easy. Building the lifetime relationship they both desperately crave will require trust, time, and a little understanding. Members Reviews: Perfect fluffy goodness! Any additional comments? I honestly didn't think I could love this story any more than I already did. Easily on my favorites shelf, this is a perfectly fluffy, low angst, feel good romance that is absolutely, impeccably captured by Michael Ferraiuolo's performance. I loved every minute of it. Ferraiuolo's choices for Oliver, Jaime, and Jack's voices were faultless. He precisely captures Oliver's shyness, Jaime's infatuation, and even Jack's wistfulness. The narration is a brilliant complement to a really wonderful, lovely story. This is a perfect romance for anyone looking for a lighter, low angst, feel good story with great characters, hot sex, and a perfect sigh-worthy HEA ending. Highly Recommended! So Effin' Sweet!!!! 6 stars! Oh my goodness this is SO effin SWEET! The blurb tells the basics: Oliver, an overweight game designer, has moved to Seattle and has decided to do a make-over with his life.. He hires an escort to teach him how to be a better lover since he was told by an ex that he lacked skill. When Jaime, a very attractive older man, comes over and notices the book hed brought in to signal the escort, Oliver assumes Jaime is the escort. Jaime is just a man whos finally realized his passion leans toward bigger men and hes finally embracing it and he approaches Oliver out of real interest, not professional, but he realizes that Oliver needs the paying for it to overcome his shyness. Just as can be predicted from the beginning the deception can only go so far before someone gets hurt. But its so much more than that. There are layers, and a sad ex and growth and laughter. ** Unlike SO MANY books with overweight characters this is NOT A MAKEOVER STORY! Thank GOD! Oliver is PERFECT as he is and Jaime shows him that he can be loved exactly as he is. Even disguised as just getting healthy, books that show the MC changing their bodies and finding love are really telling everyone that only the physically perfect can find love. Even if the author tries to show differently. Cardeno C doesnt do that and its so beautiful! Another GORGEOUS part of this story is that there is no BIG MISUNDERSTANDING! Instead of drama and angst, we have two grown-ups having conversations about their concerns. Despite the way they met. It was so refreshing! The writing is excellent as always.

The Road to Amazing Audiobook by Brent Hartinger

And it's not because we want to destroy marriage, like some people say. It's because we really, really want to get married!" Russel Middlebrook is gettin' hitched! The wedding is taking place in a remote lodge on an island in Puget Sound. Russel and his husband-to-be have invited all their close friends to spend the whole weekend together beforehand. And for the first time in his life, Russel is determined to not be neurotic, and not over-think things. But that's before things start going wrong. Who expected a dead killer whale to wash up on the beach below the inn? And what's this about a windstorm approaching? Then there's the problem of Russel's anxious fiancé, who is increasingly convinced the whole thing is going to be a disaster. Meanwhile, the wedding is taking place near the ruins of a small town, Amazing, where, a hundred years earlier, the people supposedly all disappeared overnight. Why does it feel like the secret at the end of the road to Amazing has something to do with Russel's own future? Can Russel's friends Min, Gunnar, Vernie, and Otto somehow help him make it all make sense? The Road to Amazing, the final book in the Russel Middlebrook Futon Years trilogy, is a story about endings and beginnings, and also about growing up and growing older. But mostly it's a story about love and friendship - about how it's not the destination that makes a life amazing, but the people you meet along the way. Members Reviews: So happy my favorite characters are back! Any additional comments? I basically binge listened to first The Thing I Didnt Know I Didnt Know then Barefoot in the City of Broken Dreams. While I liked the first, I didnt particularly connect with the second, so I started The Road to Amazing with a bit of trepidation worried I might not like it. I neednt have worried. Hartinger brings back all the characters Ive loved and sets a really sweet tone amidst the chaos of a wedding weekend where so much goes wrong. Dead Orca on the beach below your wedding venue? Check. Huge storms knocking out power? Check. Wedding guests not being able to get to the island the wedding is happening on? Check. However, through it all Russel keeps his cool (with a lot of help from his friends) and calms nervous groom Kevin (with a lot of help from their friends). For me, its truly the supporting cast that makes this series fun, but what makes it really enjoyable is narrator Josh Hurley. Ill say it again, Josh Hurley really does an excellent job with the different character voices. I also love how he portrays the myriad of expressed character emotions. And can I just give a shout out to my boy Gunnar? You may not be easily understood, but you are definitely one of my favorite characters! Love you, boo! Ive enjoyed my time with Russel, Kevin and the gang. My wish for the future? I hope, if there are more installments, that Hartinger will open up the points of view to include Kevin and Minh, Gunnar and/or Otto. The best series I have read in two years! This was for me a sad googbye. After six books if the most adorable and interesting characters it was really hard for me to say goodbye.

Choosing Happy: M/M Romance Audiobook by Aria Grace

He has alienated the people he cares most about by making bad choices that continue to haunt him. When he meets a kid who's in a bad relationship and needs some help, Steve reluctantly offers it, knowing it's his chance to redeem himself. What he doesn't expect is to find happiness. It's there; all he has to do it choose to accept it. For mature listeners. Members Reviews: Good Read... Erotic Fiction with an Emotional Side This book is far outside what I would normally be listening to, but I gave it a chance.... I didn't think I would like an erotic fiction, but was happy to have been proven wrong. Just in case it wasn't clear from the description, this is a very explicit book... But not all that unrealistic. I found the main character to be quite real and understandable. The story while right on the edge of believable (and sightly cliché), was still enjoyable and worth the time. The main character, Steve, owns a street-side waffle stand. Everyday, he watches his secret crush walk by with his presumed boyfriend. He goes out of his way everyday to make sure he is able to be there when they walk by. One day, he tries to offer him a free sample. When his boyfriend yanks him back suddenly, and returns the next day with bruises, he is infuriated when he realizes the dangerous nature of their relationship... When he arrives at his business the next day to find that his crush is there waiting for him (lacking any other options), he does everything he can to hide him from his powerful, rich, and unstable ex-boyfriend. As I said, there were a few times that I knew I was reading a make-believe story, but the writing and characters were strong enough that I was actually disappointed that it wasn't longer... I definitely enjoyed this book. Hope you do too! I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work. Narration bumps the story up! Good short story (that continues in the next installment of this series. Story is akin to a soap opera, but the narration makes it better and makes for an overall entertaining listen. The Ace and the Little Duck A love story dealing with sex trafficking and a victim named Joey and his desire to escape from his captor. He is helped by the owner of a Waffle House owner named Steve who with the help of some friends helps Joey escape. It is a story of trust and a blossoming love affair between two kind and sweet men, one a bit rough and the other mild mannered and how they find love and happiness in a broken world. Steve & his Little Duck Since I read/listened to these books out of order, I started this knowing more about Steve than we saw in book 2. That said, it was interesting for me to see Steve from the beginning, to learn about his Little Duck. I loved the growth Steve went through, the self realizations & control he learned. Joey's story pulls at you, giving a glimpse into a life that is too often overlooked. Both men have scores of baggage to unload before they can learn to trust what is starting between them.

For 5,000 years she has fought and evaded the Ragnarok race on Earth, just waiting for her people to return. A human woman, Kate, joins her fight, showing as much conviction and valor as any Valkyrie. Their friendship quickly becomes something more as they hold the line on Earth in battle, to herald the return of the Asgard. Members Reviews: Excellent Book! Great twist on Norse mythology. I absolutely loved this book. Comedy, romance, action, and aliens! Whats not to like? In this book, the Norse Gods aren't Gods at all. They are an alien race and they're coming back to Earth for Ragnarok which is actually another race of aliens. Hollie Jackson does an amazing job with the narration. Absolutely AMAZING Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It would be hard not to, an awesome blend of humor scifi and romance i cant wait to see more of the series on audible Have you listened to any of Hollie Jacksons other performances before? How does this one compare? Unfortunatly no, im definitly going to be keeping an eye out for her other performances Who was the most memorable character of Return of the Asgard and why? Kara stole the show for me, and i think id love to see more of her story in a prequal or series of prequals to Return of the Asgard, a character with alot of potiental Any additional comments? Well worth a credit keep an eye on Erik Schubach definitly an amazing up and comming author great new series I am so glad I gave the novel a chance. Great take on Norse mythology , with grand characters. It is wonderful to have the Valerie take centre stage, rather than the usual Odin and Thor stories. I like the blend of sci-fi, fantasy and mythology, set within modern parameters. A few scenes made me smile and one or 2 actually made me laugh. It isn't as funny as the iron druid series, but it definitely holds its own. Can't wait for book 2! Great book I was totally captured by the story. I had to listen all the way to the end. Good to have strong female leads in a story that normally would have gone to a man. Can't wait to listen to the next book. Originally Refreshing It is about time someone wrote great science fiction with a strong female character who happens to be a lesbian. The story is great and does not have sappy sex. what it does have is a strong story that integrates with legends and folklore. It is a refreshing reminder, there are still good science fiction writers. Isaac Asimov Quality.

Maxfield Narrator: Greg Boudreaux Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 11-15-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 213 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Re-release of best-selling 2009 novel - What happens when Rory travels halfway across the country to meet the girl of his dreams? Certainly not what he expected. Rory's just a simple southern boy from St. Antoine's Parish, Louisiana, but he knows what he wants - the girl of his dreams, reclusive and mysterious artist Ran Yamane. He's loved her since junior high school, and now he has the chance to meet her. He chucks everything and travels 1,500 miles to Anime Expo in Long Beach just so he can tell her. He's determined that nothing and nobody are going to stand in his way. Turns out, Ran Yamane isn't a girl, but he gets that a lot. People come to him with teddy bears and chocolates and disappointment by the truckload. He's trusted fans in the past and paid the price. So when he meets Rory he is understandably wary, but resigned. He isn't prepared for his magnetic attraction to the young man, Rory's apparent willingness to overlook his gender, and the chaos that ensues when his number one fan (and psycho stalker) shows up to get revenge. Members Reviews: Almost Perfect !!! The cover of Drawn Together caught my eye, I liked the synopsis, I've had good luck w/ ZA Maxfield and Audible Studios; but it was Greg Boudreaux (Tremblay) who made it an immediate download. So, even though it was 1am and I needed to be conscious in the morning, I couldn't resist a quick listen. ZA & Greg had me hooked from the first sentence. Sometime after 4am I managed to tear myself away for a few hours. I REALLY don't like angst in my fiction or thrillers or books with psycho stalkers who torture & kill. I REALLY don't like plots where a character makes a "difficult decision for the good of them both" and "big misunderstandings" ensue. I LOVED this book anyway! How can you not love a book where one character is described by a friend as being 1 part John the Baptist, 1 part John Holmes and 1 part Elmo; while the not girl of his dreams turns out to be an anime artist who personifies Bishnen? A lot of stereotypes get flung around, but the characters alternately own & defy them. ZA Maxfield has created a wonderful, humorous, dramatic, romantic, & fun M/M story. Add to that Greg's Exquisite performance, and you have a book that's nearly impossible to pause for bothersome details like food or sleep. Thank you Audible Studios for bringing us this! It's not perfect, but for me the only thing that would make it better is seeing Ran Yamane's art. Greg Boudreaux rocks this! Any additional comments? Drawn Together was one of the first M/M books I read. I have really fond memories of this story and when I found out it was being re-released as an audiobook...well, I was happier than a pig in mud. Then I found out Greg Tremblay, performing under his steamier "Greg Boudreaux" moniker, was going to narrate and my excitement knew no bounds. I absolutely loved the narration! Greg does not disappoint with his wonderful southern drawl for Rory, Yamane's lighter tones, the pure creepiness of Amelia, and the perfectly pitched side characters. I'll admit I did some eye rolling and teeth gritting at the story this time around. This is one of those times I had a hard time re-reading a book I loved years ago. I completely credit my ability to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the story and flow directly to the awesome narration by Greg.

Arina copes with being a new type of Valkyrie and defies Odin while reminding the ruling caste what the ideals of the Asgard are and what they should all aspire to be. She must help a young Ragnarok, who was sent to die at the gates of Valhalla, to learn the truth about the Asgard and her own people. Old enemies and lost friends weave a web that could spell the end for one of Odin's own. Members Reviews: Can't wait to listen to more Where does The Valkyrie Chronicles rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Definitely near the top of my library. Have you listened to any of Hollie Jacksons other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, definitely as good as the first book fans of the first won't be disappointed. Any additional comments? My only complaint is that i really can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.... ;) Loving the series so far! This series keeps getting better and better! I love the different take on Norse mythology. The characters are great and the narration by Hollie Jackson is superb! Looking forward to the rest of the series! 2nd Book in Valkyrie Chronicles one word FUN! If you could sum up The Valkyrie Chronicles in three words, what would they be? Tacky Funny Soap/Drama. Sorta of cheated on the last word. But the story is a little B-Movie Tacky yet amazingly FUN soap opera-ish Drama that pokes fun in it's own way at the whole genre while being tenderly interesting. Radclfyee good this is not. The woman in the story might get a kiss here or there and a funny passionate feeling there but there is not one real sex scene in this novel yet the whole thing is about a group of lesbian women saving the day for Asgar. There is even a few bits of mythology tossed in on the side but it remains a true science fiction story. Still it's a fun story and you find yourself liking these Valkyrie. What did you like best about this story? Mostly the parts that made me laugh because they where so tacky. The little lines about "but first I have to take care of my passionate mate Kate" And when Whispering breeze is recovering from near fatal wounds Cara or maybe it's Kate says to her "You can't die because if we were to take a third to our bed it would be you." Just off the wall lines that make it tacky but oh so fun to listen to, and have a good laugh. Which scene was your favorite? When the Ragnar girl claims the Whispering Breeze as her mate, or finally admits she wants her and is willing to fight of anyone who comes near her dying mate. It was a kind predictable scene but fun and funny. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? In the future where the earth is hopelessly out number and out gun, Earths only hope is a handful of Valkyrie who have landed Asgar on Earth to help out. OK TOO LONG, Short version Space Monster attack Earth but Earth is Saved by Valkyrie. Any additional comments? This a well written piece of fluff but it's fun fluff with lesbians in a positive light. It made me smile if not laugh. If you enjoyed the first book you will love the second but read/listen to the first one first. bloodlines A vary good second book of the series.

Favorite Son Audiobook by Will Freshwater

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Born into a blue-collar family, John Wells beat the odds and came out a winner. As chief of staff to Patrick Donovan, a US senator and aspiring presidential candidate, he enjoys all the power and privilege of a DC insider. But while riding high on a wave of success, he's blindsided by a series of betrayals from the people he trusts the most. In the space of a single day, John's perfect life unexpectedly unravels when his career falters and his marriage implodes. Following a final, devastating blow, John assumes a new identity as "Peter" and flees to Provincetown, where a tight-knit community of eclectic characters slowly transforms him. Peter finds himself drawn to Danny Cavanaugh, an enigmatic carpenter who is struggling to come to terms with his own troubled past. As they work together to renovate a local landmark, the two men forge an unlikely friendship that blossoms into love and becomes the foundation for a new life they hope to build together. But when a reversal of fortune pulls John back to DC, the treacherous world of politics he thought he'd left behind threatens to destroy his chance at true happiness. Members Reviews: Outstanding I have checked three times, and it seems this book really is published by Dreamspinner. It's hard to believe because it so well written, so mature and intelligent, and features actual gay men. It's basically story of a grief-stricken man, filled with regret, having a mid-life crisis and reinventing his life. He finds a simpler and more authentic life in a small community, as well as finding new love (eventually). This is literary fiction featuring gay characters, rather than romance genre writing. If you like a saintly suburban housewife in the guise of a gay man who dreams of little beyond marriage and children, this book isn't for you. If you like realistically flawed and believably gay and male characters, written intelligently and convincingly, then it is. There is little more to say, without giving more away, than this is an excellent book with excellent narration (apart from a woeful attempt at Scottish accent). I hope to hear many more from this author soon and pre-order anything that he got published. I just didn't connect with the story Any additional comments? First, this is tagged in some places as m/m romance. It is not. It's a contemporary fiction novel. Second, my review is entirely subjective based on my emotional response to the story. Obviously, other reader reactions will, and have, vary. John Peter Wells is the out and proud chief of staff for Senator Patrick Donovan. John enjoys his career success, but his relationship with his boyfriend, David, is a casualty of his career. He and David split, and further shock comes when his career and the life he's built is also ripped away from him within a single day. Hurting and reeling from everything that happens, John leaves DC and winds up in Provincetown where he transforms himself from career-centric and focused "John" into "Peter" who takes each day as it comes. He lives in the quiet town dealing with his pain and grief, meeting and getting to know the other inhabitants of the town. Peter ends up falling for local carpenter, Danny Cavanaugh, who is dealing with his own loss and past. For six months Peter lives and learns to love, until John's unexpectedly called back to DC to the world of politics he left behind. The narration is good. Nick J.

Title: Nowhere Ranch Author: Heidi Cullinan Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-15 Publisher: Heidi Cullinan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 319 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Love will grow through the cracks you leave open. Ranch hand Roe Davis absolutely never mixes business with pleasure - until he runs into his boss, Travis Loving, at the only gay bar within 200 miles. Getting involved with the ranch owner is a bad idea, but Roe's and Travis's bedroom kinks line up against one another like a pair of custom-cut rails. As long as they're both clear this is sex on the side, no relationship, no interfering with the job, they could make it work. Shut out by his family years ago, Roe survived by steadfastly refusing to settle into so much as a post office box. As his affair with Travis grows into more than just sex, Roe's past catches up with him, threatening the thin ray of happiness he's found, reminding him it's well past time he went on his way. Even a loner gets lonely, and at this point, there's nowhere left to run. The shame and sorrow of what he's lost will stay with Roe wherever he goes - until he's ready to let love lead him home. Members Reviews: Don't listen to this one in Public. Whew. What made the experience of listening to Nowhere Ranch the most enjoyable? Iggy Toma. He is a fantastic, very professional-sounding, talented narrator. If you could rename Nowhere Ranch, what would you call it? I think the title is perfect, to be honest, and wouldn't change it. Any additional comments? I bought the ebook version of Nowhere Ranch a while ago but it was languishing in my TBR queue because while I loved Heidi Cullinans Love Lessons series and bought all her other books after finishing it, I quickly found out after reading a few of her backlist titles that her older stories veered more toward the BDSM spectrum which I generally dont go for in Romance. Nowhere Ranch definitely falls in the BDSM category, though it does have well-drawn characters unlike the empty, cardboard ones that proliferate in most of these types of stories. I liked Roe, which is a good thing because the story is told entirely from his POV, in first person. My main problem with BDSM stories is that I have a hard time wrapping my head around how someone would get off on being humiliated by someone they love, or humiliating the person they love, but thats a personal hangup. There are long, detailed explicit scenes in this story, especially in the beginning and the middle, and they are seriously K-I-N-K-Y, definitely not hearts-and-flowers (and thankfully not marinated in purple prose) which gives way to what Ive come to expect from Heidis works. Solid characters, family drama, good supporting characters, and while not on the same level as Love Lessons (since this is after all, a completely different kind of story), a decent romance between Roe and Travis which was still believable regardless of how their relationship started as a purely sexual one. Now, the narration. At this point I have to say I love Iggy Toma and I bought the audio version mainly because of him. Usually I tend to read the ebook version of a story first so when I listen to the audio and get distracted, I dont get lost. But with really good narrators (like Iggy), my attention is focused on the story. He has such a pleasant reading voice and enunciates each word really, really, well. Even when Im doing other things while listening to him, its still easy to follow whats happening in the story. There are no distracting sounds, like breathing or swallowing, or background noise when I'm listening to him.

Alec Rowland is a high-flying lawyer in a London firm, whose career is his life. He doesn't have time for relationships, and his sexuality is a closely guarded secret. After picking up a cute guy on a Friday night, Alec's world is rocked to its foundations when his one night stand shows up in the office on Monday morning - as the new temp on his team. Ed Piper is desperate to prove himself in his new job. The last thing he needs is to be distracted by a crush on his boss. It's hard to ignore the attraction he feels, even though Alec's a difficult bastard to work for. Both men strive to maintain a professional relationship, but tempers fray, passions ignite, and soon they're both falling hard and fast. If they're ever going to find a way to be together, Alec needs to be honest about who he really is, because Ed won't go back in the closet for anyone. Members Reviews: Who would've gussed!! The plot was brilliant from the beginning. Unforeseen adventure at every turn. unforseen realization around every corner till that one moment of instant realization that took hold. very well written and narrated. With how HOT some of the scenes was so could the performances. Hence the 4 I gave for performance........ Not interesting. Not cute. The WORST thing about this story is the narrator. There's a Spanish character and I swear he makes her sound like a cheap vampire. It's horrible. The story is just, super cliche. They both have lady best friends that know ALL their secrets whom they gush to and giggle with and-just shoot me. This was a struggle to finish. And don't get me started on spiders. From start to finish there was just nothing original about this. The writing isn't bad, but since the author never takes us through anything lawyer-y I wonder why that career was chosen for the characters, except maybe for the title. It's just lazy writing. Would not recommend. Frustrated I wasted money on it. Enjoyed it! Where does The Law of Attraction rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I did enjoy it. It took me a bit to get used to the narrator but then I loved it! What other book might you compare The Law of Attraction to and why? I don't have a comparison to another book. Which scene was your favorite? The spider in the bathroom scene was was very funny! If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The boss and me! Any additional comments? Loved Ed's character immediately and then Alec grew on me! My new fave for a rainy day! This books hits all my fluff and sap buttons. And I love it! Bossy and cheeky and low angst and hot sex! When you want a HEA, light listen, this is it. It's not an insta-love story but almost. Just enough angst to carry the story and thank gawd there is no "miscommunication" story line. (I am so over those!) There are no real surprises in this story, but I fell in love with Ed and Alec and their banter. After my 3rd listen, I bought the book. For once we have a strong bottom who believes in himself and isn't willing to settle for less. And a strong top who needs someone to lean on. This has become my favorite rainy day read. The narrator does a pretty good job.

Love Lessons Audiobook by Heidi Cullinan

Title: Love Lessons Subtitle: Love Lessons Series, Book 1 Author: Heidi Cullinan Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-15 Publisher: Insatiable Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 402 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Love doesn't come with a syllabus. Kelly Davidson has waited what seems like forever to graduate high school and get out of his small-minded, small town. But when he arrives at Hope University, he quickly realizes finding his Prince Charming isn't so easy. Everyone here is already out. In fact, Kelly could be the only virgin on campus. Worst of all, he's landed the charming, handsome, gay campus Casanova as a roommate, whose bed might as well be equipped with a revolving door. Walter Lucas doesn't believe in storybook love. Everyone is better off having as much fun as possible with as many people as possible - except his shy, sad little sack of a roommate is seriously screwing up his world view. As Walter sets out to lure Kelly out of his shell, staying just friends is harder than he anticipated. He discovers love is a crash course in determination. To make the grade, he'll have to finally show up for class - and overcome his own private fear that love was never meant to last. Warning: This story contains lingering glances, milder than usual sexual content for this author, and a steamy dance-floor kiss. Story has no dairy or egg content, but may contain almonds. Members Reviews: Seeing what's in front of you... I really enjoyed this story. The narrator brought the characters to life and I became engaged in the story of Kelly and Walter. Though at times I wanted to smack Walter upside the head, I understood the aspects of his life that resulted in his perspective on love as a lasting and true construct. A very nice, sit down to relax story with a happy ending... This was one of my favorite ebooks last year. What did you love best about Love Lessons? I originally bought this in ebook format and read it last year. I loved Kelly Davidson and his unabashed love for Disney movies because that was something I'd never encountered before in a male character. It made the character cute, and endearing for me.Walter Lucas, however, reminded me a lot of myself. Even his favorite movie (The Fight Club) was also one of my favorites. He's cynical, and yet a complete romantic. I love how he tries (unsuccessfully) to hide his vulnerability, and how he takes care of the people he loves. What did you like best about this story? I liked that it was about two people falling in love, in a normal setting, with no over-the-top drama and purple prose. And I liked how Heidi Cullinan was able to convey both Kelly and Walter's feelings through the narrative. The first time Kelly realized he wanted Walter, I could actually feel his yearning. When they were dancing and Walter was working up to kissing Kelly, you could feel their anticipation and nervousness, I could even hear the music in my head. Did Iggy Toma do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Yes, it was easy to tell who was speaking since he gave them different voices. Wasn't too crazy about his voice for Walter, though, because it sounded rough to my ears at times. And initially I thought (when he was reading the narrative) he sounded too stiff and formal, even had a slightly angry/curt tone. If you could take any character from Love Lessons out to dinner, who would it be and why? Kelly Davidson. He is just completely adorable. Genuinely nice, polite, a ray of sunshine.

Hazaar has it all: beauty, talent, and brains. What she doesn't realize is that Hazaar's future has already been decided, and Charlie has no place in it. Hazaar desperately wants to break with her traditions and stay with Charlie, but when forced to choose, she chooses her family over love. When she realizes the choice she made is the worst one possible, it's too late. Years later, while working in Pakistan as a diplomat and negotiator, Charlie receives a phone call from a woman who says her British sister-in-law is to be killed for the family's honor and asks if someone can save her. Charlie and Hazaar are on a collision course with destiny. If they make it out alive, can they believe in their love once again? Members Reviews: Bramhall is king! If you love Melissa Brayden and Radclyffe much as I do , then you have found the perfect blend of emotion, humanity, and the ride of your life. This is an absolute MUST read. I have read everything by Bramhall and this book will stay with you as a gorgeously haunting journey of a lifetime. Anyone I have recommended this book to has become a Bramhall addict. Brace yourself for an unforgettable romance that will touch your soul, a suspense thriller worthy of Gillian Flynn, and a book you will look forward to getting up in the morning to hit play to over anything else ! Excellent. Andrea does not disappointed. Well written suspenseful story. Couldn't put it down , really. Zehra did a beautiful job of reading this book. amazing a must read I was kinda worried about the plot but wow amazing book can't say enough good things about it Very unique book Loved the narrator and the accents she gave the characters. This book truly came to life and I plan to listen to it again in the near future. Wonderful story and definitely worth the credit! Amazing! Would you listen to Nightingale again? Why? Yes, the storyline was very well-constructed. The way the opposing timelines and settings built up to the apex of the story was brilliant. Really thrilling at many points. What other book might you compare Nightingale to and why? The Honor series by Radclyffe, because of the nature of the love affair and the constant pursuit despite danger of protecting said affair. What about Zehra Jane Naqvis performance did you like? She was absolutely brilliant. So glad that she was the narrator on this. The accents were flawless and she really knew where to put emphasis in order to inspire anticipation. Who was the most memorable character of Nightingale and why? Hazar, because of her honor. She was also brought to great life and light by the author through Charlie's eyes. Any additional comments? This has been one of my favorite romances in a long time. Can't wait to hear from Andrea Bramhall again. What a truly talented creator!

Title: Trouble Comes in Threes Subtitle: Fur, Fangs, and Felines, Book 1 Author: M.A. Church Narrator: Ronald Ray Strickland Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: A snowstorm in the South - on New Year's Eve - is a perfect recipe for a catastrophe. After two soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk's waiting for disaster number three to strike when, naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep during the storm and decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets them stay, even though there's something decidedly odd about his overly friendly felines. Out of the punishing weather and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to be snug in Kirk's house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no choice but to reveal themselves. Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They're cat shifters - and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough for Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that doesn't believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would be trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead. Members Reviews: Cute but bad I would have loved this book if I had read it. The narrator was terrible and at times almost ruined it. However, the author's story was different and strong enough to keep me going. With a baby at home I don't get time to sit and read but I wish I could have with this one. Not great audio. Any additional comments? 1.5 Stars for Narration It makes me unbelievably sad to give this rating - because the story is fun, sexy, dynamic, and definitely worth 4 stars - but the narration was HORRIBLE. I feel terribly that the author's very good, very interesting, and very well envisioned work was showcased as badly as it was by Ronald Ray Strickland's narration. Yes, I said it. The narration is all capitals BAD. Strickland's timing, lack of character voice delineation, the editing, hell...everything was bad. It was like Strickland has never read a book aloud before, got put in a sound booth and told to go crazy, and someone was hoping it might pay off. Well, guess what? It did not pay off. Strickland has odd times where he doesn't enunciate particularly well, but then will suddenly over-enunciate. His speech is halting and then flows almost unnaturally. Also, there were too many times where the audio was badly edited/spliced and suddenly the sound would explode. Now was it abysmal? No. I've heard worse and, luckily, the story itself saves it from being completely unlistenable. I kept listening because I really wanted to know what happens with Dolf, Tal and Kirk. But I would not recommend anyone get the audio for this. I would definitely recommend the story - just not the audio. Really inexperienced and bad narration What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A better narrator. One who can actually read the words. He had horrible diction and no character distinction. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Liked the shifter m/m/m aspect. That was cool. How could the performance have been better? See above. You need a way better actor and performer. This guy was a total amateur. Good story, but the narration was not enjoyable. Good story but the narration took away from my enjoyment of the book. Very disappointed. Great Story, Bad Narrator I really enjoyed the story, but the narration left a lot to be desired.

Title: Last Salute Author: Tracey Richardson Narrator: Maxine Mitchell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: From the author of The Campaign and No Rules of Engagement... Pamela Wright will never forgive her sister for dying in the Afghanistan war or the army for Laura's death or anyone else for making it okay for Laura to go halfway around the world to fight for reasons Pam has never fathomed. Numb with grief, she buries her sister but not her rage. Among the mourners is Trish Tomlinson, who loved Laura long ago and has found the news of Laura's death sharply painful. She remembers Pam as an unwelcome third wheel but now finds comfort in the company of the young medical resident and in the details of Laura's journal that Pam shares. Brought together by grief, something more grows. Guilt and anger cloud their feelings and jeopardize any chance at a future. How can love blossom in the shadow of death? Members Reviews: Sister, Sister As with Melissa Brayden's How Sweet it is an older sister dies and her partner soon hooks up with the little sister of her woman; one who still carries the remnants of a childhood crush. In this case Dr. Laura Wright is killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Her younger sister Dr. Pam Wright returns to their hometown of Ann Arbor, Mi. for the memorial service and there she's reunited with her sister's first love Trish Tomlinson and away we go again. Pamela's crush which has basically been kept alive by her childhood memories for twenty years is resuscitated but so is Trish's attitude towards Pam as her girlfriend's little sister, will Trish's attitude ever change and if so will it work out for them? By consensus this one ended up getting a 5 star rating from the cadre; though if possible I would have rated it at 4.2 to 4.4. There were a few jarring turns and inconsistencies in the narrative that left me scratching my head. The story itself was quite stirring emotionally and the Afghanistan scenes feel real. The manner in which the protagonists came together felt forced and unrealistic however the conclusion was excellent. Still I can only wish that those plot twists that elongated the story needlessly had been avoided and the narrative would have been allowed to proceed without all the excess drama. Loved the book. this book was great. Loved the story line. this book is a great read for everyone. Absolutely fantastic story and narration Wonderful character development of three women's lives intermingled through the years. For those who do not have any experience of family or friends in the military it opens a window into their perspective of life. The tension between characters is believable. The narration I thought was perfect for this story. Listened to it three times. Excellent, but tearful book. I just wanted to write a short note and let readers know, that with his book, I was in tears part of the time, laughed a lot, and was very much in love with the characters Pam and Trish. The handling of military matters was well done and I learned a few things. As far as the characters, Pam and Trish, I felt their pain and anguish, as well as their love and hope for the future. I absolutely loved the story and definitely want to read more of her books. The reason this one caught my eye is I love reading about the heroes of our military and the second was it was on the romance package of audible. I have read a couple of her other books and enjoyed them, but I think this one tops those, at least, until I read another one by the author.

Title: Cub Author: Jeff Mann Narrator: Geoff Moonen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-14 Publisher: Lethe Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Not every gay teen yearns for fashion and popular culture. Some boys are pure country folk and like the feel of flannel and the smell of the farm. And they're neither lithe nor muscle-bound but stocky boys, the ones who develop hairy chests, arms, and faces years earlier than their peers. One such seventeen-year-old is Travis Ferrell, shy among most of the other kids at school, but proud of his West Virginia roots. He has not yet admitted his passion for handsome guys - and his idea of what handsome is and what handsome does is not much different from him. Soon he'll learn that he's not unique; gay culture has a name for young men like him. Cubs. Lambda Literary Award-winning author Jeff Mann has written a touching romance for the outsider in us all. Members Reviews: Missing important parts of book...be aware! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I was enjoying the book...and then it just skipped almost a whole chapter...missing important dialogue. Please fix. I had to go get the actual book to read that chapter. Bad production Any additional comments? This is a great story. The narrator is ok. But the production is very bad! Vital parts of the story are cut out. There are background noises like people talking, air planes and machine sounds. For instance; the end of part 7 (chapter 6) is just cut before it's finished. Several places there are odd pauses. Simply a production with errors.

Title: Seti's Heart Author: Kiernan Kelly Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-15 Publisher: Torquere Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Cursed by the god who shares his name, Seti was an Egyptian king who lost everything: his name, his kingdom, even the man he loved more than anything in the world. For centuries he's waited in a dusty, forgotten sarcophagus, until Logan came along. Logan is a graduate student who stumbles upon Seti in the basement of a museum and accidentally awakens him. Logan figures any way he looks at it, a missing mummy is going to be bad for his career, so he takes Seti with him until he can decide what to do. He doesn't want to be accused to theft, but who's going to believe in a mummy coming back to life? Seti and Logan have a lot more to worry about than the modern day police. There's a group of scientists that want Seti for more than decoration and a vengeful god with an agenda to get Seti gone once and for all. Logan has to deal with all of that, but his biggest problem might just be Seti himself, who's trying hard to get into Logan's pants and his heart. Members Reviews: A little off the wall...but darn sexy. Imagine "A Night at the Museum" but way hotter. A museum apprentice accidentally awakens a 5,000 cursed mummified warrior king, who happens to be gay and look like an Armani model. It sounds wacky, and at times (when the Egyptian gods come into play) it might get too far fetched.... but this is a really fun story with great characters and some seriously sexy scenes. The narrator does a nice job navigating the various tones of the book... bringing out the humor in the supporting cast, giving the right tone to the m/m action and also navigating the challenging scenes with the Gods. I really enjoyed it and I think it would actually make a great beginning for a series. Logan and Seti have great chemistry and they make a super sexy spin on the odd-couple idea. I thought Logan was a wonderful character - and I also thought it was pretty cool that the characters were vers. Entertaining! What did you love best about Seti's Heart? The fun, lightness, interesting , adventure.. Who was your favorite character and why? Seti!! I love his power, good sense of humor ,and haughtiness. What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Im always looking for great narrators, he is very good. Any additional comments? give it a try, is a great entertaining audible ( and the voice does not grain on the ears) One hot mummy. Would you consider the audio edition of Seti's Heart to be better than the print version? I think so... I loved the narration. Logan's friends are all very fun and lively - you got a real sense of personality. The narrator also does a great job with the villains and he brings out a lot of humor in the main characters... He embraces the somewhat goofy aspects of this mythological adventure and brings out the playfulness. It's a great listen. What did you like best about this story? I actually though the sexual dynamic between Logan and Seti was really great.... I loved that it changed and it really charted character development. I think that is something that isn't explored a lot in m/m romance... and I enjoyed it. I think the book has some great steamy material, but the humor in the book and the character of Logan were my favorite. What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He has a really vibrant theatrical approach to narration...

A wilderness kayak adventure brings together two very different women - Chaz Herrick, a laid-back outdoorswoman, and Megan Maxwell, a workaholic news executive. As they battle the challenges of nature for survival, they discover that true love may be nothing at all like they imagined. A romantic adventure in a wilderness wonderland. Members Reviews: Good enough for a second reading This is my second time reading Whitewater Rendezvous, a few months after reading it the first time. I love how Kim Baldwin's descriptions of Alaska make you feel like you're actually there. The book is good from start to finish, and of course the love story is phenomenal! Disappointment all around Not a single dialog that made me feel this book was worth reading. I felt like each sentence was taken from another story. Nothing unique or above average. When a writer uses the phrase "her full lips" more than once ,it can't be good. Brilliant romance with a sprinkle of wilderness adventure What a lovely romance. Baldwin wrote a splendid story and it was perfectly narrated. I would absolute recommend it Sound quality is too bad. Sound quality is too bad. I have a headache when I hear the strong way of speaking of the narrator. Though it is a good novel, I am disappointed. Great Story and Romance Enjoyed listening to the story and Romance develop. I love kayaking, so the story was intriguing.

Title: A Date with Angel: And Other Things That Weren't Supposed to Happen Author: J. Judkins Narrator: Kendall Taylor Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-16-15 Publisher: Asylum Inspirations Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 115 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Kim could tell at a glance Angel wasn't the average attractive yet poorly disguised extraterrestrial scout sent to assess Earth's defenses before the inevitable alien invasion. Angel's memory loss cover story? Lame. Robbing a passing ruffian of his shirt to cover her naked body? NOT a good way to avoid attracting attention! As a science fiction geek, Kim felt herself uniquely qualified to watch Angel and thwart her dark mission...once the alien got around to it. But Angel had her own questions. She couldn't help but wonder, why would Kim invite a stranger home? Surely, it could only be for romance! Kim didn't dare correct her, not without giving herself away, and so both found themselves in an escalating romantic relationship neither actually wanted. Is it possible lies and deception could lead to true love? Could projected feelings designed to fool the other become genuine? A Date with Angel is a romantic escalation comedy full of misinterpretations, grand theories, and devious, romantic traps...and a suspected alien woman doing her best to meet a sci-fi paranoiac's expectations. Members Reviews: An absolutely different sci fi lesbian story. I loved listening to this book. found my self laughing and loved the fact that Kim is a gamer and inverted basically. and at first I didn't like angels voice... but it grew on me. so I recommend this book you'll like it trust me. Awesome Premise. Great Humor. Little Else. Not your typical lesbian romance. Very funny, underhandedly sweet, good chemistry. Once the premise is set, though, the story stays there for 14 hours before a quick wrapup and a hint at a sequel. The main character's headspace, which we never leave, is like Woody Allen with Asperger's and an extreme case of paranoia. It's funny, but Jesus does it wear you down after a while. Despite this, I will happily buy the sequel, as well as anything else this author puts out. The narrator was wonderful, though her choice of voice for Angel, a blonde, blue-eyed, sex kitten, was too manly, I thought. She handles the humor delightfully, regardless,and is perfect as Kim. Funny and unexpectedly sweet! Any additional comments? This is billed as a romantic comedy, and I must say it delivers. Kim is a paranoid introvert, zealous in her goal to keep her private life private, and making sure she allows no one close to her. As the book opens, Kim encounters a naked woman in a convenience store parking lot. The woman is putting on a shirt she obviously took from the unconscious man lying on the ground. The two women look at each other, and finally Kim engages her in conversation. That conversation leads to all the events that occur in the book. Because that conversation is weird. And it rings all sorts of alarm bells in Kim's mind. This woman is an alien scout! And Kim might be the only thing standing between Earth and an alien invasion. Which, let's face it, is ridiculous. The comedy is that this gamer girl geek believes Angel, as she declares her name to be, is an alien. There are several things that back this theory up, from the obvious lies Angel tells about herself - her cover story, to things that Angel does that just don't add up to normal. Kim's struggles to maintain her own cover lead her to accept and agree to things with Angel that she had no intention of doing.

Dance with Me Audiobook by Heidi Cullinan

Title: Dance with Me Author: Heidi Cullinan Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-15 Publisher: Heidi Cullinan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 195 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Sometimes, life requires a partner. Ed Maurer has bounced back, more or less, from the neck injury that permanently benched his semi-pro football career. He hates his soul-killing office job, but he loves volunteering at a local community center. The only fly in his ointment is the dance instructor, Laurie Parker, who can't seem to stay out of his way. Laurie was once one of the most celebrated ballet dancers in the world, but now he volunteers at Halcyon Center to avoid his society mother's machinations. It would be a perfect escape, except for the oaf of a football player cutting him glares from across the room. When Laurie has a ballroom dancing emergency and Ed stands in as his partner, their perceptions of each other turn upside down. Dancing leads to friendship, being friends leads to becoming lovers, but most important of all, their partnership shows them how to heal the pain of their pasts. Because with every turn across the floor, Ed and Laurie realize the only escape from their personal demons is to keep dancing - together. This novel has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Members Reviews: Iggy Toma once again captivates me entirely. Any additional comments? Iggy Toma once again captivates me entirely. So much so I was resentful of intrusions that made me have to put it on pause. He manages to create a whole world that sucked me in and made me laugh, cry, and sigh. I can't ask for more than that with a story. The story centers around Laurie and Ed, who couldn't be more different in some ways and more similar in others. The dichotomy of Ed and Laurie's personalities perfectly explain how well they ultimately compliment each other. They are yin and yang to each other, perfect in their opposition, and in what they bring to each other. One of the things I loved so much about this story is the realism that's portrayed, woven seamlessly through the romance, so that it's not heavy-handed or brought me out of the lovely romantic story-telling. There were so many things that spoke to me personally, particularly of learning to live with the pain you have, to accept the limitations of your body after an injury, of being afraid you'll be less for it all... Then ultimately learning to live with your own limitations and how to not just deal, but bloom under the strain of it all because of the love and acceptance of your own and your partner's. I love this and know it will go into my rotation for re-listen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Most Enjoyable I was moved to tears more than once. 'Twas a beautiful story that moved me greatly. Sweet story with definite Cullinan stamp on it I have enjoyed every Heidi Cullinan book I've listened to. I enjoy how Cullinan threads pop culture into her stories and often utilizes them for more than just back ground. I was first introduced to this couple as part of the cast of characters in Lonely Hearts and was excited to get to hear their story. I have to say that I was just a *little* disappointed in this story after the Love Lessons trilogy. I wish that Laurie, in particular, had a little more depth to him. I didn't fall in love with these guys in quite the same way that I fell in love with each of the couples in those books. I felt like the "conflict" and disparity in their personalities and backgrounds was written off a bit too easily ...

Camp Hell Audiobook by Jordan Castillo Price

Title: Camp Hell Subtitle: PsyCop, Book 5 Author: Jordan Castillo Price Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 05-27-15 Publisher: JCP Books LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 329 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Victor Bayne honed his dubious psychic skills at one of the first psych training facilities in the country, Heliotrope Station, otherwise known as Camp Hell to the psychics who've been guests behind its razorwire fence. Vic discovered that none of the people he remembers from Camp Hell can be found online, and there's no mention of Heliotrope Station itself, either. Someone's gone through a lot of trouble to bury the past. But who? Members Reviews: Camp Wow! JCP kicked the series up a notch when Camp Hell was released and Gomez Pugh does the same! Every familiar voice is more nuanced and the new ones just terrific. Well done! My favorite PsyCop yet! When I saw the length of this book I was already happy. I love falling into the PsyCop world and letting it take me for a ride. The longer length works great for me. I think my favorite thing about this book was the progress made between Vic and Jacob. Both of them made incredible leaps forward in their character arcs, and it was exciting. As always, the description and the crafting of the prose was spot on. The scene in Crash's apartment was so vivid, I feel like I've actually been there. Excellent book! Nothing but love for this Was excited when this was released on Audible. I loved everything about this book. Jordan Castillo Price is a brilliant writer. But Gomez Pugh is FAST becoming one of my favorite readers. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Kudos! Camp Hell: Hell Yeah! What made the experience of listening to Camp Hell the most enjoyable? As usual, Gomez's narration is on point. His new voice, Stephan, is perfect. Can't wait to hear more from Crash. What did you like best about this story? That it is over 10 hours long. Have you listened to any of Gomez Pughs other performances before? How does this one compare? I have almost every audio book that he's narrated and they're all great. If you could rename Camp Hell, what would you call it? Hell Hath No Fury.... Any additional comments? I want the next one NOW. Loved it I love PsyCop. This book is my favorite so far but they are all excellent. I like them because not only are the stories entertaining and fresh, the MC's and peripheral characters are all thoroughly engaging and fun. I am so glad I found this series and I can't wait for book 6. One thing that was a tiny bit disappointing in this book was the sex. In the previous books Phil was a verbal participant in the enjoyment, which added to the hotness of the scene. This time it's more one sided with Vic's voice being the only one heard during and upon completion of the sexy time. It might read better, but in the audio version it's a bit flat. Also the narrator Mr. Pugh is excellent. Great voice and inflection. I can listen for hours and not get sick of hearing his voice.

More than Everything Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Narrator: Ezekiel Robison Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 194 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Time might not heal all wounds, but with two motivated and strong-willed men on a campaign to win him back, Charlie will get more than he ever thought possible. As a teenager, Charlie "Chase" Rhodes meets Scott Boone and falls head over heels in love with the popular, athletic boy next door. Charlie thinks he's living the dream when Scott says he feels the same way. But his dreams are dashed when Scott unexpectedly moves away. Years later, Charlie meets brash and confident Adan Navarro, who claims all he wants is a round between the sheets. After eight months together, Charlie is convinced Adan returns his love. But when the opportunity comes to be open about their relationship, Adan walks away. Time passes and life moves on, but when Charlie learns the only two men he's ever loved are now in love with each other, his heart breaks all over again. Scott and Adan tell Charlie they want him back, but Charlie doesn't know if he can trust two people who have hurt him so deeply. Time might not heal all wounds, but with two motivated and strong-willed men on a campaign to win him back, Charlie will get more than he ever thought possible. Members Reviews: YES!!! Another Cardeno C. 5 Star Book! Cardeno C has become a favorite M/M author, but I also find his work frustrating because too many of his stories are just one good final rewrite away from excellence AND they don't get that rewrite. Also his work bizarrely comes & goes from Audible and isn't released in order. HOWEVER, More than Everything is one of the Really good ones that keeps me coming back for more! The performance is excellent, Ezekiel Robison's best one yet. Charlie/Chase is narrated just as the character is described without ever becoming a caricature. Scott & Adan have completely different voices and sound like the men the are. The women even sound female. The story builds across a long period of time but keeps your attention for the whole journey. By the time all the strands are twisted together their relationship seems absolutely reasonable as well as incredibly sexy. I love how in his best books Cardeno makes the most unrealistic premises Completely viable! More than Everything is not only dangerously hard to stop listening to, it is a book I will keep re"reading". Is it perfect? no. Is it worth 5 stars & a credit? YES!!! Emotional and heavy at times, fantastic narration. Would you listen to More than Everything again? Why? Yes, I would. As emotional and angsty as it was at times, the story and the characters really drew me in and kept me engrossed throughout the book. What other book might you compare More than Everything to and why? Any other book in this series, they all have the same feel and narrator. What does Ezekiel Robison bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brought the characters to life, literally. I could always tell how each person was feeling by the tone he gave them. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? What's wrong with the title of the book? Any additional comments? Charlie Rhodes is in his thirties, going through the motions in life. Work, sleep, eat he loves to dance, always has, but his love of dancing is the only love that has stayed with him through life. Charlie has loved two men, his high school sweetheart Scott, and a college lover Adan.

Sinders and Ash Audiobook by Tara Lain

Title: Sinders and Ash Subtitle: Pennymaker Tales Author: Tara Lain Narrator: Kale Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 02-29-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 102 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Housekeeper Mark Sintorella (Sinders) works diligently at a resort hotel while designing clothes anonymously, hoping to get into fashion school. Then his carefully planned life is upended with the arrival of Ashton Armitage, son of the fifth richest man in America - and the most beautiful guy Mark has ever seen. Ash must find a wife or he'll lose his grandfather's inheritance, and he settles on Bitsy Fanderel. But secretly Ash is gay, and the guy who cleans the fireplaces sets his heart ablaze. Further stirring the pot is the little elf of a man, Carstairs Pennymaker, who has Mark wearing his own designs and masquerading as a girl to impress the fashion investors in the hotel. When the clock strikes 12, two beautiful princesses line up for the wedding - but one isn't a woman. Will the slipper fit? Only Mr. Pennymaker knows for sure. Members Reviews: Definitely a Fairy Tale Any additional comments? Mark Sinders Sinterello is a housekeeper who dreams of being a fashion designer. Ashton Armitage is a closeted millionaire in search of a bride in order to satisfy the terms of his grandfathers will. The will states Ash must marry prior to his twenty-fifth birthday in order to receive his $500+ million inheritance or it all goes to charity. Ash has procrastinated because hes gay and doesnt want to marry a woman and he literally only has weeks before his birthday to meet and marry someone. Enter Carstairs Pennymaker, a tiny elf of a man, who acts as a sort of Fairy Godfather and takes Sinders under his wing, and works diligently to steer the two men together. This is definitely a fairy tale and it requires almost complete suspension of all disbelief. Ill be honest and say, for me, it was alright, especially the narration by Kale Williams, but the story didnt really thrill me. Bottom line: The pacing is good, the narration better, it has some nice sexy times, and a hard won HEA. Definitely not the classic Cinderella story What made the experience of listening to Sinders and Ash the most enjoyable? Mark and Ash's resolve to not only be true to themselves regardless, but to love each other without regret. Who was your favorite character and why? Mark. I loved the way he was written with this hard exterior shell, but vulnerable, beautiful and unique underneath. The only person to ever crack the surface is Ash, and Pennymaker just a smidge, in a father figure sort of way. What does Kale Williams bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He breaths life into the characters. If you could rename Sinders and Ash, what would you call it? Dear audible, can you remove this question from any further reviews I do please. I don't understand it, I don't understand why you'd want to change an Author's title. Any additional comments? Definitely not your classic Cinderella story. Lain adds her own twist to the tale that gives the story an extra edge. So you have Mark/Sinder (Cinderella) who works as a Housekeeper as well as a rent boy of sorts behind the scenes. Ash/Prince Charming keeps his sexuality a secret, only being true to himself behind closed doors. He's a show pony, preparing to marry a woman he doesn't even really know, much less love, to gain his inheritance. Everything change for both men when their paths cross.

Then she discovers not even that truth can be counted on. Tess' stepfather has kept important secrets, and Tess' dream of breeding a line of organic dairy cows suddenly goes up in a burst of smoke and flame. R. Clayton Sutter is an expert at managing just about anything - money, businesses, and people. Getting NorthAm Fuel's newest shale refinery operational in the rolling hills of Upstate New York shouldnt be much of a challenge, but then, she hadn't counted on dealing with vandalism, petitions, and a woman shed never expected to see again - one who still haunts her dreams. When Tess and Clay square off on opposite sides of the heated debate, past and present collide in a battle of wills and unbidden desire. Members Reviews: WOW Radclyffe as the writer and Abby Craden as the narrator never disappoint, The story is great, loved the characters and as always loved Abby Craden sexy voice. This was a great story I truly enjoyed the book, I loved the Narrator. Abby Craden did a wonderful job with all the Characters. This book is about a situation many towns in the Midwest deal with alot. Big oil companies wanting to come in a drill. Effecting thousands of lives. Radcyffe is amazing showing both sides of the story and how they work together for the best out come. another part of this book deals with lost live, painfull memories and hidden passion. There is a HEA.... but it's a long fight getting there. This is must read for sure, you won't be disappointed. Nice break away from the norm. Nice venture into the country . A little light on story depth. That is to be expected more often than not. This will be better if you have not listened to a lot of Radclyffe stories or reads from Abby Craden. Radclyffe drops the Fbomb !! bout time! Great unique book! This book was just as well written as Radclyffe's other novels, but with a very different story-line than I'm used to reading from her. I loved the story and feel like it gave me a greater appreciation for farmers (as strange as that might sound). The narrator was wonderful and brought the book to a new level! But for the ending Good book. Genre outside the ER and the police station was awesome. Ending wimped a little - just a little too fast and tidy. But I loved the story and the topics it brought together. I would recommend this book

So into You Audiobook by S.E. Harmon

Harmon Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 08-23-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 153 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Screenwriter Noah Ashley has a few four-letter words for his agent when she suggests he improve his script by shadowing a PI. Still, because he's an artist dedicated to his craft and she knows where the bodies are buried, he agrees. Then he spends a little time with the gorgeous PI, and suddenly it seems like a really good plan. The PI doesn't seem to entirely love the idea, but Noah has never been afraid to go after what he wants. PI Drew Rodriguez is used to people depending on him. He's the classic rock for his family. Responsible. Dependable. The classic rock would never succumb to the borderline sleazy temptation of friends with benefits, no matter how sexy that temptation is. Drew is looking for something enduring. Despite Drew's misgivings, it's not long before they've got all the requisites for friends with benefits going. Friendly, good conversation? Check. Fun times in and out of bed? Check. Hot, electrolyte-sapping sex? Double check. Falling in love? Yeah. About that.... Members Reviews: A Great Story... I so enjoy a story in which the author provides a plethora of backstory that endears the primary characters to the reader/listener and Harmon does a great job in this book. Noah and Drew are such great characters and of course I was routing for this pairing. The wit and sarcasm of each character is great and one cannot help but want a HEA. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing this story to life. Great second edition to this series...looking forward to the next installment. Great Listen, great story I enjoyed how the pulled the listener into the story and made you care about the characters. The narration was great as well. I can foresee myself listening to this story again. Great narration made an ok story fantastic. What made the experience of listening to So into You the most enjoyable? The narration. Michael Stellman has a youthful, vibrancy to his voice that truly encapsulated the characters in this story. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Aside from the narration I enjoyed following along as both Drew and Noah grew exponentially from where the story started to where it ended. Have you listened to any of Michael Stellmans other performances before? How does this one compare? I have and it was just as good. As I said above, his vocal tones really fit for younger characters and storylines. He doesn't do a ton of different voices per say, but he manages to change tone just enough to make it easy for the listener to know when there's a change in POV. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? So Into You is perfect. Any additional comments? I really enjoyed the push and pull between the two MC's and how there was a role reversal in a way toward the end. Both men have pasts that make it hard for them to trust in love or commitment. They also both share parental issues, though for different reasons. Noah was adopted, though he's reconnected with his birth mom. He just can't understand why she is happy with twin girls and getting ready to get married, and yet, she couldn't keep him. And then Drew has the day late, dollar short dad that's in and out of his, his brother and mother's lives more than he's in and out of prison.

When he finally decides a fling might be exactly what he needs to move on, he expects to find it in a woman. But when he meets Drea's hot cousin, he feels an attraction that he's never felt before. But Drea's cousin is a guy... and Ryan isn't gay. In book two, Drunk in Love, Ryan and Zach have been together for eight blissful months. Just as they are about to take their relationship to the next level, a visit with Zach's ex changes everything. They each make mistakes that could destroy everything they've built together. In book three, Choosing Happy, Steve lives his life in a cycle of work, hookups, and regret. He's ruined every relationship he's been a part of and knows he's not cut out for love. The highlight of each day is seeing the hot college kid that walks by his waffle truck every evening. When Steve suspects abuse, he steps in and makes the situation even worse. He has to fix what he's screwed up, and maybe he can fix himself in the process. Members Reviews: Really Good Series This was a really good series. At first I was disappointed when I realized the third book had nothing to do with Zach and Ryan, but really got into the drama of Joey's (Little Ducks) horrible situation and was extremely relieved with the ending. Awesome story I like that I got to listen to more than one part of the story and how the three story mix very well together, super love stories of friends and ex-lovers. A must read and listen too!! Good Story Would you consider the audio edition of More than Friends Collection to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version, but I enjoyed listening to the story. I felt like the story was a little over the top, but good overall. Such a fantastic start to a series. I happened to come across book 7 in this series first and I was immediately hooked. I had to go back and start where it all began. From what the author has said, these are her first books but you can't hardly tell. Book 1 was slightly different than the other 2 and not quite as deep but that's only being nit picky because it was great and 5 star for me. The deep, emotional and angsty trials that a man must face when being gay out in the world... Aria Grace really does these characters justice. I felt their pain and the new, exciting love as they build relationships. Let's not even talk about how incredibly hot and steamy they are, because Aria can write that scene and make anyone's temperature rise. The first narrator, Douglas Dale, I wasn't crazy about. I felt like he was reading a book. Not reading the story of his life. With Michael Ferriola, it was the opposite. I really felt like it was his story that he was telling. I seriously can't wait to continue on with this series, I am binge listening to all of them. I was able to purchase on Amazon for cheap and add audible narration for cheaper than what the books were on Audible directly. Check that method before purchasing through Audible but absolutely purchase them. They are worth it. Well Done! The narrator for this story was wonderful! His voice was so easy to listen to! This is my first experience with an Aria Grace book and definitely won't be the last!

Determined to do the right thing, Kurt offers the mourning Davy his assistance. Helping Davy through his grief helps Kurt deal with the guilt that his partner didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth, and somewhere along the way Davy stops being an obligation and becomes a friend, the closest friend Kurt has ever had. His growing attraction to Davy complicates matters, leaving Kurt struggling to reevaluate his sexuality. Then a sensual encounter neither man is ready for confuses them further. To be with Davy, Kurt must face the prospect of coming out, but his job and his relationship with his Catholic family are on the line. Can he risk destroying his life for the uncertain possibility of a relationship with a newly widowed man? Members Reviews: Loved it! *Audiobook edition* Okay, I won't beat around the bush. I loved this. But will you love it too? I don't know. This book fits my very particular and specific tastes. I'll read almost anything, M/F, M/M, paranormal, historical, sci-fi... you name it, I'll read it. However, my true love remains a good old fashioned gay-for-you. I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times- give me a gay virgin and I'm a happy camper! "Cop Out" was 100% in my wheelhouse. If you are looking for a cop story with a lot of detective work or a romantic suspense plot, look elsewhere. The fact that one of the MCs is a cop is more background information than anything else. There is no mystery and little focus on the job. If you are looking for a book with lots of sex, also look elsewhere. While the sex scenes in this book were squirm-in-my-seat hot, they were very infrequent. If you are looking for a fast-paced read, pass this one up. It is an agonizingly slow burn romance with a plot that takes its sweet time to develop. However, if you are like me and you love the struggle, the inner tension of a GFY, the slow, slow burn of a romance, and some amazing chemistry between two men going through some extreme life changes, then you should not let this one slip through your fingers. What really made this perfect for me was the narrator, Tristan James. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I'm very picky about my narrators. This narrator was awesome. He had a perfect voice for the part and I'd rank him as one of my favorite M/M narrators to date. An excellent GFY and another 5 star audiobook for me. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Captures your attention... I loved this book. I fell in love with the character Kurt. He wanted to do the right thing and in the process he met Davy and something happened within that changed everything. Kurt's goodness lured me in and I decided that "this is the sort of man I want". His internal struggles added drama to the story and was realistic. Burn did a fantastic job writing this story and Tristan James' narration added so much to the characters. A great combination here. Though each character was struggling, there was a time I wanted to reach through my ear buds and slap the fool out of Davy...but I can understand some of his actions, it just didn't make me real happy.

Locey Narrator: Ron Welch Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-16 Publisher: Torquere Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Templeton Reed has been hiding his inner polecat since he was a child. Keeping his animal secreted is hard for a shifter, especially when one is living in a secret community of mystical beings. It's the wolf shifters that cause Templeton the most trouble with their darned sensitive noses. Templeton has a run-in with the Lake Erie pack and their alpha, Mikel Lupei, at the Office for Transmogrification Registration (OTTER). Templeton has a desk job checking registration papers and dealing with wolf shifters is not part of his job description. After that upsetting meeting, the meek and mild office worker suddenly finds himself in the center of not only civil unrest among the shifter community, but a violent plan for a coup aimed at rousting Mikel. Templeton and Mikel, a skilled tracker of rogue shifters, are soon not only fighting for their lives, they're also fighting the rigidly archaic rules of their kind, as well as the person responsible for trying to take over Mikel's pack from the inside. Can this magical odd couple turn a passionate attraction into a full-fledged love affair? Members Reviews: Pepe Le Pew Meets the Wolf-man Any additional comments? An Erie Halloween is an amusing re-imagination of the shifter genre of romance novel. The plot uses an illogical absurd coupling of wolf-shifter and a skunk-shifter that is reminiscent of the Pepe Le Pew cartoons of childhood. However, in this incarnation, Le Pew a sarcastic wise cracking character played off against a big powerful bad boy wolf shifter with a scholarly refined side to him. It is a reductio-ad-absurdum of the genre. I smiled and chuckled my way through the entire book. a fast, fun-filled Halloween story. Do you have a couple hours to kill that you need a short story and want something light-hearted and fun-filled? I have the story for you! An Eerie Halloween is the tale of Templeton a Skunk shifter( yes you heard me right a skunk shifter) How he meets and falls for a wolf shifter, a mystery where he finds himself the prey and some hot man-sex. I loved this story in book form, but Ron Welch really brought the characters to life. You know from the first sigh that he is not gonna just read but put great inflictions and life. I loved Mikel's accent too! If you like paranormal romance with a touch of humor, Lycan's,skunk shifters, a little mystery and some hot man-sex. This is for you! Short & Sweet: a cute story full of errors. This is a fairly short story so world-building, characters & plot come together a little too abruptly. However, if you want a short, sweet little love story w/ a request for tolerance of differences, this will do nicely. Its biggest issue is the narration. Ron Welch has a pleasing voice, performs well and his character voices are fine, BUT he constantly mispronounces words. (I'd give him a 4 if he had a reasonable spoken vocabulary) This happens throughout the entire story, w/ a variety of words, which was Extremely distracting! Some of the time it sounded like the problem might have been an incorrect word from using auto-correct on the text.

Turkey in the Snow Audiobook by Amy Lane

But when Justin, the daycare worker at his gym, offers to do something incredibly nice for Hank - and for Josie - Hank is forced to reconsider. Justin may be flamboyant in his speech and gestures, but his heart and kindness are as rock steady and dependable as anyone, even Hank, could ask for. Can Hank trust in his dramatic turkey in the snow to offer his heart the joy he and Josie have never known? A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2012 Advent Calendar package Evergreen. Members Reviews: Lovely holiday story Some stories work better in audiobook than in print, and I think this is one of them. The main complaint of most readers seems to be the over-the-top language of Justin, but in audiobook form, he was positively charming. If sweet, family-centric love stories with a butch/fem pairing are your thing, than this is the audiobook for you! This was an unusual Amy Lane for me. It has almost no sex content whatsoever, which is REALLY rare for this author, and it was pretty low angst. Apparently, this is Amy Lane: Holiday edition. And, I'll admit, I enjoyed it. It was an adorable, quick listen (nicely narrated by Gomez Pugh), and while it lacked a bit of relationship development and a lacked a lot of steam, it was a very satisfying novella. If you are looking for a little something to put you in the holiday spirit, then you can't go wrong with this one. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Wow! Any additional comments? Wow. How have I not read this before? I loved this! Gomez Pugh does a terrific job with the narration of this sweet, and short, novella. A departure from Lane's usual modus operandi, this story has very little angst or sexy times. Not that I felt the lack. I enjoyed this thoroughly from start to finish. Usually my big complaint with a novella is I want more, I want the story to be more fleshed out...not so with Turkey in the Snow. I thought it had a very satisfying ending. Like I said before, Gomez Pugh was terrific, and I loved the narration. Recommended! A wonderful story that made me laugh and cry! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? When I was coming out late in life I was in a gay men's support group for coming out. One of the issues that was discussed was "flamers". You can't be in public with a flamer and people not know you are gay or at least believe that to be the case. Being the naive person that I am that never came to my mind, but I could see that was an issue for some of the men. Of course there were flamers in the group and they told a horrible story of being rejected and bullied all their lives because they are so obvious. Now, I don't have a problem with flamers. Though I look and act so straight I truly have to advertise who I am at times, just to indicate to another man I might be interested.Now you are asking me why am I telling you all this? To me this is one of the main themes of this story. The straight looking gay man gets involved with a flamer and all the drama that is part of that. It is a really cute story and understanding what that all means is an important part of this story. The other part of this story is the love for a 4 year old girl.

The Stolen Suitor Audiobook by Eli Easton

All of Clyde's Corner, Montana, knows local dandy Chris Ramsey will marry Trix Stubben, young widow and heir to the richest ranch in the area. But one woman isn't too keen on the idea. Mabe Crassen wants to get her hands on that ranch, so she sets her older son to court Trix, and her younger son, Jeremy, to distract Chris and lure him astray. Jeremy Crassen thinks his mother's scheme is crazy. But he wants desperately to go off to college, which Mabe will agree to - if he seduces Chris. How will shy, virginal, secretly gay Jeremy attract Chris, who seems determined to do the right thing and marry Trix? Jeremy can't compete with a rich female widow. Or can he? Members Reviews: What would you do for your mother? Jeremy and Eric's mom must have lost her mind. She is insisting that Eric quit drinking, smoking and partying and woo Trixie a grieving widow. She also Wants Jeremy to make it easier by stealing Chris, Trixie's best friend and current boyfriend because she thinks he may be gay. Already sounds good doesn;t it... but there are a few secrets to uncover and some near deadly action to toss in to make this an even more intriguing story. The narration is good. Rusty Topsfield has a calm clear voice and makes the story come to life. He even manages to make Trixie's part cute. And Yes I listened to it all in one day! If you are looking for a fun romance with some humor, drama, twists and turns, plus a bit of action and drama, and a touch of hot man-sex this is for you. Toss in horses,and an adorable le 4-year-old and it's awesome! I highly recommend it. ^I received a copy for an honest review* Fun, light, full of accents Jeremys mother Mabe wants Jeremy and his brother Eric to disrupt the romance between Chris and Trix so that Eric can win the hand of Trix and inherit the ranch her late husband left her. Jeremy is to seduce the obviously gay Chris even though Jeremy himself is not exactly out. In the end things end up quite differently than anyone planned and through many twists and turns everyone ends up exactly where they need to be with a delightful HEA. ** Eli Easton is a terrific writer. She always makes me laugh (and sometimes cry!) with her moving characters. Jeremy is far more than he seems on the surface and though I really, really didnt want to like anyone in the Crassen family, I ended up loving them all perhaps the loser Eric the best! I didnt ever get quite a good handle on Chris, however. He had some bad experiences in college that made him look upon all gay relationships in a bad light and is now determined to settle in to a sexless if not loveless marriage all before hes even 30! Trix turns out to be a dark horse in this story. She ends up showing a lot more depth than I originally thought she was going to have and I really ended up rooting for her part of the story more than even Chris and Jeremy! There were some parts of this story, however, that just didnt sit well with me. I wanted to see more of Jeremy and Chris together on page than we did and maybe a bit fewer POV shifts. Though I enjoyed Trix and Erics story as well as Billy and Mabe, I really wanted to understand Chris more and follow him with Jeremy after the big drama. Janie didnt ring true to me as four year old, Mabe felt far older than her forty-two years and Chris also seemed far more jaded than his years would account for.

Title: Wild Pitch Subtitle: Homeruns, Book 1 Author: Sloan Johnson Narrator: Christopher Rain Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-15 Publisher: Sloan Johnson Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: There's never been any question in Sean Tucker's mind that he'd do whatever it took to make it to the major leagues and be one of the best pitchers of his time. The day he acknowledged to himself that he was gay was also the day he vowed to stay in the closet in order to chase his dreams. The problem is, he never counted on Mason Atley. Sean showed rookie short stop Mason Atley the ropes, both on the field and off. The two forged a friendship, which continued as both of them moved through the ranks of the farm system and into the majors. Unfortunately, there's always been one secret Mason never felt he could share with Sean - until now. For seven years, Sean lived with the fact that he loved a man who would never reciprocate. When Mason admits that he's always known he was bisexual but has never allowed himself to pursue a relationship with a man, will Sean be able to put aside his reservations about starting a relationship with the friend he'd always assumed was straight? And, more importantly, will they be able to find a way to stay together when their careers keep them apart more than they can be together? Members Reviews: Horrible narration! I wish I had listened to the bad review one reviewer gave about the narration. It was slow with individual words said instead of flowing sentences. The narrator mispronounced so many words I couldn't keep track of them. Common words. "Rescind" does not have a long "i" sound in it. A few other words: haphazard, strenuous, and the Cy Young Award is not C. Y. Young! Brutal listening. Decent story - Bad Narration It wasn't a terribly original story, but was sweet and well told. I liked the characters enough to give it an overall favorable review and overlook the fact that I've basically read this story before. This narrator has potential, but didn't hit it on this book. This was not the worst narration I've ever heard and I did listen to the whole book. (I've been known to quit after a chapter with a few bad narrations.) He has a nice enough voice, *bad* female voices though. His pacing/timing was off though and yes, many many mispronunciations - for me the worst was wrought as in wrought iron. I don't know what he said but it definitely wasn't wrought. I can forgive or overlook one or two stalls in pacing or strange pronunciations but this book was SO full of them I don't know that I will be able to listen to it a second time, even though I liked the story well enough. I hope if Christopher Rain is to continue as a regular narrator that he learns as he goes. I'd give him a second chance, but probably not a third unless things improve. Wish I'd waited for it to be on sale or available through the lending library. Luckily, I purchased the kindle version. What would have made Wild Pitch better? The narrator was not desirable. He's voice sounded as if he was choking, flat. Mason's ex-wife's voice was cringe-worthy. The other women voices were bearable. Has Wild Pitch turned you off from other books in this genre? No. How did the narrator detract from the book? YES. YES. YES! You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The story line wasn't bad. However, the narrator did not do the story justice. Terrible Narration! Liked the the story. But the narration was utterly terrible. Robotic. Cold.

Title: Hawk's Pretty Baby Subtitle: Brac Pac 2 Author: Lynn Hagen Narrator: Johnny East Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 07-16-15 Publisher: Siren-BookStrand Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 92 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Hawk Magnar, commander of twelve sentry wolves, never thought he'd discover his mate in a hospital for an anxiety attack. Under the illusion he was going to comfort a young child the alpha's mate, Cecil, had befriended, he finds a man who needs more protection than even anyone realizes. Treated as a simpleton all his life, Johnny Stone has never had anything to call his own - until he meets Hawk. Hawk must keep his emaciated mate safe from a sadistic brother while teaching Johnny to trust him. Hawk is quickly running out of time to convince Johnny that he isn't out to hurt him when his mate inadvertently starts the mating ritual. Will Johnny give Hawk the trust he needs to bind them together or suffer the consequences that fate's wicked sense of humor has unleashed? Members Reviews: like a fantastic, sexy,soap opera, comic book! This is perfect little cheesy story of true mates, happiness, sorrow, tears and cheers with lots of fun and funny stuff. If you listen to the excellent narrator and freeze frame a part of the story like buying the pink coat and wallets, little guy beating the big alpha werewolves at the games they play on his first try or even the six foot four 260 pound alpha mate crying and laughing over his "baby's" trip to o a happily ever after love bonded life and turn that scene into a comic book cartoon in your mind, you can get a lot of fun out of this mostly cheery and yet very sexy romp of a soap opera. It's a rags to riches story and the triumph of good over evil. It does have a few sentences at the end that can lead you to the next book in the series but this story can easily be read as a standalone with great satisfaction. ANOTHER GOOD READING Any additional comments? Johnny East is just a really good pick for this series. He changed the way I looked at this story when I first read it. He brings more depth to the book an characters. For fans of the series a must First, again I ask you to ignore the cover. Its kinda skeevy but the story is really very sweet. Second, I will warn you that parts of this especially in audiobook format are kind of disconcerting but if you stick with it it gets less awkward? and is really kinda heart-warming. We met Johnny earlier, hes the special kid at the center Cecil volunteers at who is good friends with Cecil. He calls himself mildly retarded (funny how that word just sounds so terrible in these times of PC language isnt it?) and is definitely on the slower end of the learning curve. (Without it being a spoiler, Ill tell you that Hawk kind of surmises that its not so much retardation as that Johnny just needs things explained very carefully and that he needs a lot of patience because hes prone to panic attacks. I suspect its more autistic than anything else.) In any case, Johnnys brother is abusing Johnny and Hawk and his pack mates rescue him. Johnny has been starved so it takes a lot of intense work to build him back up so that hes even strong enough to be bonded with Hawk and this ends up being one of the hurdles. The brother also ends up being a thorn in the side of the pack and ends up causing a crisis. Hawk is sappily devoted to Johnny and the rest of the pack soon falls under his thumb as well. At one point Hawk refers to himself as daddy but is acknowledging to even himself that its a little weird.

Working the door night after night, he's seen it all. Though tough on the outside, he's a little hurt that people find him unapproachable. Then he pulls a cute twink out of line to perform a random search, and he's surprised when the guy giggles and squirms. Zach Spencer, graphic artist, twink, and seriously ticklish, isn't intimidated by Bull. He's in awe, and when Bull saves Zach from being trampled on the dance floor, Zach finds his inspiration for the superhero in his graphic novel. Soon Zach wants more and makes his move by asking Bull on a date. Though small, he has a backbone of steel. He'll need it-their happily ever after is thwarted at every turn, including by Bull's interloping mother showing up unannounced and enemies from Bull's past threatening to pull him to the other side of the world. Members Reviews: Nicely done!! It met my Andrew grey expectations.. Love the way he writes it's a bummer the narrator was a bit of a let down, at times the characters sounded as though they were a bit stupid and slow only because of how he has narrated the scene and it wasn't just one character it was all of them ,don't get me wrong he wasn't the worst I've listened to but not even close to the best.. I was a bit surprised he didn't use Sean Crisden I think he narrates Andrew stories the best because of the characters Andrew has in his books.. Nice easy story line to follow bit of action thrown in and always the HEA.. All in all great start to series just hope the rest are going to be in audible Really good story Would you consider the audio edition of Inside Out to be better than the print version? I haven't read the book, but the narration of the story was really good. What was one of the most memorable moments of Inside Out? When the two main characters meet. What does John Solo bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He has a warm and pleasant voice and makes the characters come alive. I really enjoyed listening to him. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The book made me laugh. Nothing was really extreme just very pleasant. Any additional comments? This is one of the books that I will listen to again and again. I may even get the e-book version one day. a light, cute story Any additional comments? Just love the Bull character!!! Bull, he may be growly but he really is such a good guy. Big, strong and a bouncer at a club, his inside is very different to his outward appearance. "He's like, hard as rock on the outside, but like melty chocolate on the inside." Bull has had his heart broken and has a hidden past. Zach, he is young but goes for what he wants and he isn't afraid of Bull's intimidating exterior. Zach brings out the best in Bull with his passionate outlook on life. "I love how you throw yourself into whatever you like. Whether it's dancing, your drawings, your food, you immerse yourself in what you do. That's attractive." Zach is also dealing with the pain of losing his parents and being rejected from his community for being gay. Fun Definitely enjoyable- rather exceeded my expectations. John Solo did a fabulous job with the narration.

Thirteen short stories, five never before collected, written between 2007 and 2013. Sexy, sweet, and occasionally strange, these brief but emotionally powerful stories encapsulate everything listeners of Male/Male romance have come to love most about Josh Lanyon's work. Members Reviews: Awesome!! This is a collection of maybe a zillion of Mr. Lanyon's short stories. Every one I wish was longer. This author just has an amazing gift for creating MCs that are smart, witty, vulnerable, endearing and any other adjective you can think of. There are different narrators for each story and they were all fantastic; not a bad one in the lot. How is that possible?! Does he have a stable of great narrators on retainer? Mr. Lanyon, please share them with the rest of the audiobook world!! Anyway, as I said, my only complaint was that the stories were not longer and were all HFN endings. Josh Lanyon doesn't believe in HEA; he just leaves you satisfied, but still wanting more. Excellent collection Josh Lanyon portrays "real" people. I always feel like his characters could be a friend or neighbour. I often forget I am reading/listening to fiction... I have read many of the stories in this collection, but I enjoyed several of them more this time due to great narration. An exceptional group of stories... This is a book of short stories by the fantastic writer, Josh Lanyon, and he continues to entertain and enthrall me with his story telling. I'm hoping to meet up with Chance someday and try some of his chocolate's. Almost 14 hours of storytelling and the narrators did a fantastic job. They credit four narrators but with the mix and mingle of the characters in the various stories, I would have suspected even more. A definite must read/listen. Lanyon is an excellent writer and he does it again with this culmination of intriguing stories... Excellent, and the narrators are well chosen Josh Lanyon is one of the best writers in M/M, but more to the point here, he does the best audiobooks in this genre. I don't see a list of narrators with their stories in this collection, so here it is: JM Badger: Perfect Day, In a Dark Wood, Other People's Weddings, Critic's Choice Rob Granniss: A Limited Engagement, Until We Meet Once More, Sort of Stranger Than Fiction Adam Chase: In Sunshine or in Shadow, In Plain Sight, Just Desserts Michael Oaks: The French Have a Word For It, Heart Trouble, Slings and Arrows All of the narrators are really excellent, but I particularly impressed with Michael Oaks, who captures the intensity and determination of some of Josh's younger protagonists. So lovely! What made the experience of listening to In Sunshine or in Shadow the most enjoyable? The stories - i love these stories! I've read and reread them and now i can also listen to them which is lovely. Plus, the narrators are very, very good. I also liked the fact that the narrators alternate so that each story has a new voice, and I like the short story format - i can fit these stories between daily tasks and it's relaxing and satisfying to hear a story from beginning to end. Who was your favorite character and why? One of my favorite characters is Ford from Heart Trouble. This is such a sweet little story and he's such a sweet guy. Also, Angelo Faust's butler from Critic's Choice.

Sasha is working for the Immigration Guidance Council, and Laurie is landing theatre roles he could once only have dreamed of. Best of all, they've spent the past two years enjoying the love they snatched from the jaws of Sasha's violent, dangerous past. But Laurie has a history too. He's on edge, his talents increasing beyond his ability to deal with them. And although his father is dead, Laurie can't deny the turbulent genetic heritage the old man has bestowed on him. Only Sasha's love is keeping him anchored and sane - and Sasha is vulnerable, shaken by bad dreams about his life on the streets. Then Laurie learns that Sasha's Romanian gang-lord father is on the loose in London, and his deepest fears boil to the surface. The last time Stefan's shadow fell, Sasha made a run for it, and Laurie can't bear the thought of losing him again. When Laurie lands a part in the latest Hollywood blockbuster, he abandons England for a dream of safety in the States, persuading the astonished Sasha to come with him. But the dream becomes a waking nightmare for both of them beneath an alien Californian sun. Laurie must meet his demons head-on, and Sasha must confront the inner barricades that have kept him from treating Laurie as a comrade as well as a lover and a friend. The frosts of a midwinter London brought them together - will this blazing summer crack them apart, or forge enduring love from first romance? Members Reviews: Wonderful Story Any additional comments? This was a wonderful continuation of The Midwinter Prince series. This book was from both Laurie's and Sasha's POV. The words of Harper Fox combined with the narration of Rusty Coles make for a very enjoyable listening experience. Highly recommend this. Simply magnificent story of love and atonement What did you love best about The Lost Prince? This book has everything. At its heart is a strong love story between diverse, extremely compelling characters - Sasha and Laurie . There is sort of a role reversal when Laurie takes on the protection of Sasha - he has stalwart intentions but blunders it so badly with such misappropirated aplomb. They both care so fiercely for each other they don't always make the best decisions. I appreciate that the story took some unexpected twists such as Laurie falling into substance abuse issues as a coping mechanism, rather than being honest with Sasha. What Laurie thought were protections led to worse problems. I also like that the story ran the full gamut from happy career, happy home life, to turbulent upheaval, culture shock, emotional betrayal, and the action/adventure climactic scenes. The secondary characters are all clearly presented and very pivotal to the story. Such wonderful escapism for this reader. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Prince? Hmm, so many. Many of them are reveals, so I can't be specific. I do like how intense both Laurie and Sasha are about their work, and in their feelings for one another. Although Laurie's intensity gets him into trouble at times -to say the least... I did love how when how all seemed hopeless, a figure from the past appeared to lend a very big helping hand.

Members Reviews: Better than the Narration of Trusted Bond but not Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes it was but not because of the narration but because of the story. What other book might you compare Honored Vow to and why? Trusted Bond that Honored Vow's narration was only slightly better but still have the same problems of not much diversity in the voices, so it was easy to mix up who was saying what and what was being narrated if you haven't read the book. Also in every single chapter start the name of the book was mentioned like there was a chance of the listener ever forgetting it so it bear repeating. The thing that made it better than Trusted Bond's narration was the fact that we didn't had to hurry along to follow what was going on, this narration was better paced. One of the bad things was the name Yusuke -and who knows what other name- was read wrongly. It's Yu-su-ke not Yu-suk! That almost had me going back to the book and checking to see if I remember correctly that the tribe of Reshep was from Japan and not another country! The other book I will compare it too is Change of Heart that Sean Crisden's still remains the best of all. How did the narrator detract from the book? Really the narrator did detract from the book. His narration was just not rich enough.

When a Los Angeles project prompts him to relocate to Santa Monica, he welcomes the change of scenery.

Alex Reyes is a retired professional soccer player turned West Hollywood business owner with an insatiable lust for life. He loves his family, friends, and work. But there's one life challenge left to accomplish: coming out publicly. Respect for traditional Latino values has kept him in the closet, but Alex begins to think he and his new neighbor might help one another combat their fears. As Alex and Nate forge a strong friendship, they soon realize facing their personal demons will take more courage than either man bargained for. The reward is immeasurable...if the timing is right.

Title: My Hero Author: Max Vos Narrator: Jared Bradford Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 08-21-15 Publisher: Max Vos, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 120 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: This is a gay male romance with explicit sexual situations between men. When he was 16 years old, Rich Miller saved a young man from drowning at his local pool. Little did he know that years later, as a senior in college and Olympic diving hopeful, Rich would meet up once again with Johnny Milloway, now a big football player - and when Rich says big, he really means "bear". The shy jock remembers his saviour, and the two men become friends. Johnny isn't put off by the fact that Rich is gay. In fact, the more time he spends with Rich, the more curious he becomes. Johnny wants to know all kinds of things - what it's like to kiss a guy, for instance. Only it doesn't stop there... Rich finds it difficult to believe that this relationship can go anywhere. Johnny is straight, and Rich isn't prepared to deal with the heartache he knows will come his way in the future. He has enough on his plate as it is - the worlds are just around the corner. His father would rather watch a football game than spend time watching his son dive. What he doesn't count on is Johnny, who can be very determined. And having Johnny in his life proves to be a catalyst for some pretty earth-shattering changes. Members Reviews: Gay for you story with a raunchy edge. What did you love best about My Hero? The slightly raunchy edge Vos gave the story that sets it apart from other GFY type stories. What did you like best about this story? The way the two characters were with each other for the most part. Which character as performed by Jared Bradford was your favorite? Johnny's mom, that woman was a spitfire! And his cousin Anita, I want to be her best friend. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was and I came close. I couldn't put it down or focus on anything else, this book had all my attention. Any additional comments? When Rich Miller, the dorky, openly gay, Olympic hopeful diver is befriended by Johnny Milloway, star football player slash super jock Rich is a bit dumbfounded. Until Rich learns that the big, burly football player is the same lanky teenager Rich saved at the local pool when they were teenagers. Johnny is overly protective of Rich from the start, and Rich doesnt quite know how to act around him. The two become fast friends, taking trips home together and working out in the mornings at school. One kiss changes everything. Johnny is confused and curious all at once. He doesnt understand his bodys reaction to Rich, but he wants to explore it. Rich is conscious enough to realize this is an ill-advised adventure; but he is already falling hard for the big, burly, hairy, super sweet jock. The two make a pact; they will explore the mutual attraction only if they remain friends regardless of the outcome. When one heart is certain while the other is clouded in a haze of confusion, someone is bound to get hurt. I procured a copy of this audio for a review not really sure I would enjoy it in the end. Let me tell you, I was lured in after the intro and Bradfords retelling of Voss words kept me engaged throughout. I am a huge fan of gay for you stories and I really enjoyed how Vos gave this particular story his own rusty edge. Rich is older, more established, and confident and smart. While Johnny may be younger and oddly, a bit naïve, he is massive and intimidating. His team mates gave him the nickname The Dragon and I can assure you, it fits.

Nyle is the unlucky dragon tasked with finding the missing prince, a duty he dreads as it forces him into the confounding human world and away from his collection of pretties. Locating a missing prince should be a simple matter, but if Nyle has learned anything about humans since being forced out among them it's that they needlessly complicate everything. When he finally locates the errant prince, however, what Nyle finds is a treasure worth all the complications - worth protecting at all costs. Members Reviews: Cute mm fairytale This is a repost of a review that was deleted by Audible b/c of some technical issue with the book. By this time I have listened to all four books in the series. This was my original review: This was a solid 3.5 listen, but only b/c the narrator does a great job. The story is just OK. Without the narrator I would not have liked this book. It reads like a fairytale and is not well written. There is no depth to the MCs, but it is a sweet, short story, so take it for what it is. I probably won't continue the series though. Epilogue: So I have listened to all four books now and I have to say I really enjoyed the series. Listening to the first book helps a lot with the rest of the series as these characters are recurring throughout. Still is a fairy tale and the narrator still does a great job: Really good I found this series by chance. I really enjoyed the story and narration. Looking forward to the rest of the series. This is a fun story Where does Finding the Wolf rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? About half way. It's a good re-read when I'm bored. If youve listened to books by Mell Eight before, how does this one compare? I think this one is one of my favorites by her. Have you listened to any of Albert Blacks other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Niel started putting all his pretties on Leon and making him part of his hoard. vulger explicite homosexual content NOT FOR KIDS Any additional comments? I CANT BELIEVE THAT THEY PUT THIS BOOK OUT WITH OUT A WARNING. my kid came to me and told me about this and it was bad.now i know why some people want a rating system for book. this in its self rates it........ we have kids reading sifi and its getting to the point that we will have to read every book first.

Title: Courtship Author: Carsen Taite Narrator: Amanda Goodyear Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Bold Strokes Books Inc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In a stunning twist of events, Addison Riley is launched from the halls of academia to the spotlight of Supreme Court nomination. She's not entirely sure she wants the job, but the opportunity to make history ultimately trumps the trouble of having every aspect of her life examined by friends and enemies alike. Committed to the process, she's determined not to let her attraction to a beautiful woman or the threats on her life deter her from becoming the first female Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Campaign advisor Julia Scott has spent her entire life working to make other people successful, and her pinnacle achievement was the recent presidential election. Now she's in charge of making sure the president's first Supreme Court appointment sails through the Senate. She's faced tough challenges before, but nothing like those posed by the infuriatingly focused Addison Riley, a woman who challenges her mind and awakens her heart. Members Reviews: Narrator made the story difficult at some points. The story itself was enjoyable but the narration was bad. the voice actor made all of the women sound snobby and mixed up accents. She sounded like she was telling or speed reading. If I was the author I would demand a new narrator, one that does her writing justice. Good story, dreadful narration. The plot was interesting, the story engaging but the narrator was mechanical and did the characters no favors. No sparks here Why does the narrator sound like Sheldon from the big band theory?!?! Totally ruined it. Narrator ruined it for me I loved the story. But, I couldn't feel the sexiness, the chemistry between the characters. The narrator did not change her tone, it was like the 2 main characters were rough with one another when having a conversation; and they were too aggressive with one another that at times I thought they were fighting when they were actually not. And narrator made them sound as if men 's voices. There was no finesse of a woman's voice. And some of the men sounded too soft. It was irritating and annoying. I finally bought the book and finished reading it. Really bad because the story is really good. Get the book and not the audio! if the story hadn't captivated me there would have been no way I would have listened to this book. it was the worst narration I have ever heard and only managed to get through it as I was a captive audience on a transatlantic flight. I have subscribed to audible for the last 14 years or since it was established and this is the worst produced book I have heard. it seemed to not have been edited, the sound quality was horrible and harsh, the reader limited in the number of voices she could manage. It appears that nobody was interested in the sound balance or the speed of narration - producing a tinny pitched production that was read miles to fast by somebody who sounded like an agitated mouse from a Disney cartoon movie. This was an Audible production and the author Carsen Taite, the her publisher should be horrified by the final product of a good book. I will never read another book narrated by Amanda Goodyear ever.

Title: Just Desserts Subtitle: Tales of the Curious Cookbook Author: Mary Calmes Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Boone Walton has tried hard to create some distance between himself and his past. He's invested in his new life, his New Orleans art gallery, and his friendship with Scott Wren. Things finally seem to be settling down to normal, and Boone couldn't be happier. Chef Scott Wren wants much more than normal with Boone. He wants to raise things to the next level, but Boone is terrified - and not because of the ghost in Scott's apartment or Scott's relatives. No, Boone's past is about to pay him a visit, and the only thing that can get between Boone, Scott, and a hinky recipe for chocolate mousse found in a curious cookbook is the river of pain Boone had to swim across to get to this side of The Big Easy. There's a secret behind the ingredients, though - one that might reveal the trust and love that have been missing from Boone's life. Members Reviews: A great short story Any additional comments? This is a great short story with a lot packed into it. Greg Tremblays incredible narration is just the whipped cream on this fabulous confection. I enjoyed (and there was maybe a tear or two for) Boones back story in Japan, which made me see why he had been reticent to pursue a relationship with Scott. I also loved the way it was left open for his pseudo little brother, Satoru, to maybe have his own story. *hint, hint* As an aside, only Mary Calmes could have two men who have been sleeping around with multiple different partners for years throw away the condom for their first time and say theyre doing it bare without getting tested or already having test results and not have me lose my mind. Well, only Mary Calmes and Cardeno C. Also, for those of us nerds: I love Easter eggs in movies or when a book references another character or seriesand we get that here! I absolutely LOVE Boone got some of his ink at Hizoku Ink, Ichis Shop from Rhys Fords novels, which ties in perfectly to the shout out Rhys gave Mary Calmes at the end of Dirty Deeds. AnywayIm a nerd and its awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Is There a Sequel in the Offing Here? 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.

The Two Gentlemen of Altona Audiobook by J.A. Rock, Lisa Henry

Title: The Two Gentlemen of Altona Subtitle: Playing the Fool, Book 1 Author: J.A. Rock, Lisa Henry Narrator: Nick J. Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 134 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Mischief, thou art afoot. Special Agent Ryan "Mac" McGuinness is having a rough week. Not only is he on a new diet, but he's also been tasked with keeping Henry Page - the world's most irritating witness - alive. Which is tough when Mac's a breath away from killing the Shakespeare-quoting, ethically-challenged, egg-obsessed Henry himself. Unless killing isn't really what Mac wants to do to him. Con man Henry Page prefers to keep his distance from the law... though he wouldn't mind getting a little closer to uptight, handsome Agent McGuinness. As the sole witness to a mob hit, Henry's a valuable asset to the FBI. But he's got his own agenda, and it doesn't involve testifying. When evidence surfaces of a mole in the FBI office, Mac and Henry are forced to go into hiding. Holed up in a fishing cabin, they're surprised to discover that their feelings run more than skin deep. But as the mob closes in, Henry has to make his escape. And Mac has to decide how far he's willing to go to keep Henry by his side. Members Reviews: A fun, funny, smart, and suspenseful read! Any additional comments? Con man meets G-man in this fun, funny, smart, and suspenseful read! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Nick J. Russo's narration of this mystery! As the sole witness to a murder by a mob boss, Henry Page is now the FBI's best shot at putting the bad guy away. But it's a little tricky here because Henry isn't that good a guy himself. Henry isn't even his real name. See, Henry is a con man who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and though he calls in the murder (because hey, he's not a "bad" guy), he doesn't intend to stick around for the fall out. Special Agent Ryan "Mac" McGuinness is the one who has to find Henry, protect him, and ultimately get him to testify, which means getting him to stick around. Which is not Henry's strong suit. This occurs with hilarious results. The writing is sharp, smart, funny, and very engaging. The narration is spot on and fantastic with terrific timing and great character voices. My only complaint is the (what I would call a) "Quantum Leap" ending. The initial story told is finished, but the end jumps to the beginning of a new story thread before coming to a cliffhanger-type ending. That's all right, it just makes me hungry for the next story in the series! Now I just have to wait patiently for the audio to come out. *cough, cough* GIVE IT TO ME NOW, PLEASE! Highly recommended! Witty, Light Romantic Suspense What did you love best about The Two Gentlemen of Altona? Short Answer: Everything But, to elaborate, I was taken by the characters, the banter, and the tone of the story while getting a side dish of suspense to keep things interesting. What did you like best about this story? Probably the characters of Mac and Henry. Such opposites and yet they appreciated each other and had great chemistry. Have you listened to any of Nick J. Russos other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, this is my third time listening to his narration. This one ties Christmas Kitsch as my favorite.

Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn't off to a good start. Her first assignment - decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby - results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper. Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss. Members Reviews: Regret. I regret spending the money on this audio version of this book...the story itself is good but the narration was so awful.. I literally wanted to scream listening to this women's breathy voice! I really wish the Editors and Authors would listen to the narration before putting these out...it truly ruins a good book when you have a bad Narrator. I recommend reading the book and passing on this Audible version. I loved this book. I loved this book. I had already read it. But really enjoyed this Audible. It is a great story w/ Austen and Dee. I admit the ending is what I hoped for. I don't want to give it away, but it's the ending I wanted. Thanks to Audible for adding Jae to their collection. READ THE BOOK - DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!!! Is there anything you would change about this book? The story no! Definitely needed a different narrator. What would have made this romance irresistible? The voices sounding more realistic. They sounded so fake that it was hard to listen to. I really liked the story line but often cringed with the voices. lovely book i love the story and the narrator though a bit breathy was great in distinction. A bit longwinded at time but i love how it ties uo in the end. Great book I loved this story, a great way to escape Would you listen to Under a Falling Star again? Why? Yes, because I have read this book 3 times and it is a fun romance to escape into. I love reading this author's books. What did you like best about this story? The romance that unfolds and how they get to it, which is what this book is about. The time it takes to take charge of oneself and to have the courage to say no, which was the ending. Plus the corporate nonsense and rumors made it comical. Which character as performed by Shawn Marie Bryan was your favorite? Probably Austin and Tim. I will say I did not like the authors voice for Dee, but that is just my feelings. The narrator knows how to put emotion into place. This is not my first time listening to this narrator. Who was the most memorable character of Under a Falling Star and why? Dee and Austin, but Dee father and Uncle, have short but very decisive roles you can't forget. They are the basis for how Dee is portrayed prior to Austin's introduction into the book and the character and personality she falls back into at various points throughout the story. Any additional comments? I loved the book, and have read it at least 3 times in the past. I was looking forward to any audible from Jae. This was a great story to do as an audible book. The readers emotions, tempo, enthusiasm and vocal quality was great for this story. Love the various sound affects too, great job. My only criticism is I thought the narrators voice was too old sounding for Dees character. I know Dees role comes off as a matron type person given her storys personality.

Harry simply takes control and steps forward, taking me in his arms and kissing me in a sensual, passionate way once more. I can sense Ryan watching, and I feel a bit odd about it at first - especially since we were on a date not that long ago - but I soon lose myself completely in Harry's lips and his touch. I run my fingers through his hair, feeling his arms wrap around my neck. We're kissing like two horny teenagers, and it feels amazing. I've not felt so wanted in a very long time. Harry's body is rock solid - muscular and powerful - and it feels incredible up against mine. He makes me feel like a tiny princess, dainty and petite. "You taste like strawberries," he observes, murmuring into my mouth. "It's good." Just as I'm about to respond, I get the surprise of another body. Members Reviews: Great sexy menage book I was given this book in return for my honest unbiased opinion. This is a great menage short story. I loved this book and the narration wss great as well. Billionaires and a Waitress This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. Lola is a waitress who is sweet and yet has bad luck with boyfriends. She's working a party, meets and is asked out by Ryan who she thinks is a waiter. He turns out to be a billionaire. Going out to dinner they run into another billionaire, Henry. They land up at Henry's house and become involved. As far as menage is concerned it's tame, but I actually liked that. I just couldn't ever like Henry very much and Lola fell rather quickly, All in all a nice short listen..the narrator was good but I didn't like like her Henry. Nice quick filler, no angst and likable characters. Tame and Boring This was so boring I couldn't finish it. The narrator was ok, she did a good job with what she had. For those who have read spicy romance, this book is incredibly tame. Love scenes were dull, short and not descriptive. Don't waste your time, money or credit. A very yummy threesome This menage novella hits all the right boxes, it's hot and it has a good story line. If you like a good billionaire romance then this should be right up your alley. Lola is a waitress, while taking a break on a job she gets asked on a date, the date she goes on is not what she was expecting, queue the menage. Lissa does a great job with the narration, the character voices are good and the flow is excellent. There is one point where the production missed taking out a mistake and the audio briefly repeats, but it's only a few seconds so it's only a minor issue. This book was supplied free by the author/narrator/publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below, thanks. Free book Where does Clandestine rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? it's pretty much in the middle How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I would probably stop saying "billionaire" so much.. everytime the gentleman were referred to, it basically had "billionaire" attached to it. What about Lissa Blackwells performance did you like? Yes, I like her performance..

More dangers than the Terrans. And more loyalties than the Bonding. Shadows of Aggar wasnt the end of Elana and Dianas story. Tragedy strikes on the eve Elana and Diana are to leave Aggar behind for Dianas homeworld, drawing the two women into one more mission. But the politics and social corruption on Aggar run deeper than either woman suspects, and Elana finds herself torn between following her love to the other end of the galaxy and her duties to her collapsing homeworld. Set immediately after Chris Anne Wolfes best-selling classic, Shadows of Aggar, and authorized by Wolfes literary estate, Bonds of Aggar delves into the dark side of Aggar itself and the complications that come with being powerful in a world that shuns difference. Members Reviews: Love the aggar series!! Great addition to the aggar series, not one of my favourites to be honest, works well as a stand alone book but also closes the gap between book one (shadows of aggar) and two (fires of aggar). definitely worth reading or listening to!!

Title: Forget Me Not Subtitle: Mnevermind, Book 2 Author: Jordan Castillo Price Narrator: Seth Clayton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-17 Publisher: JCP Books LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: No two people are exactly alike, but Elijah Crowe is very, very different. Elijah is on the autism spectrum, so the tasks of day-to-day life most people breeze through are a challenge for him. His career suffered because he never got the hang of schmoozing, and now he wastes his talents teaching classes at the mall. His social circle is limited to his ex, his therapist, and a structured inclusion group at the Rec Center. The one bright spot in his life is the memory science of Mnemography. Although he loves nothing better than devouring the latest research and tinkering with all the specialized equipment, he never clicked with any other experts in the field until he met Daniel Schroeder. Daniel runs a memory palace - he even writes his own mnems - and that shared interest alone would make him fascinating. But Daniel and Elijah met under unusual circumstances, where the statement, "I like you, and I think you like me," held some surprising nuances. Now Elijah suspects he's gay, but the few prominent people in his life are less than supportive. Some are downright hostile. Elijah might not be neurotypical, but he's plenty smart. Surely he can figure out some way to make people accept him for who he is. Members Reviews: Amazing! My favorite of the series - Love Elijah! I am constantly impressed by Jordan Castillo Price. I dont know why I keep forgetting this, or maybe its less that and the more I read by her, the more I love. I had avoided this series because I'm not a fan of speculative fiction in the dystopian sense, and something about the blurb felt that way - I'm not sure why. But really, the science fiction part is there, for sure, but this is more a story about relationships and expectations and dealing with people and their "quirks". I had no idea about the autism and I love that about this, but that's not all. I am struck by how multi-faceted this story is. We have the fascinating science fiction the ability to make memories, the philosophy that inspires what is real? the relationship between Daniel and his father, the relationship between Daniel and Elijah, the relationship between Elijah and Beth and Elijahs autism. Its just so much! Youd think that with all this going on the story would be bulky or awkward, but it isnt. Jordan is just so gifted that all the nuances are neatly ensconced in the story and as a reader, it isnt until Im thinking about it that I realize just how detailed and complex the story really is. The second part of this trilogy is written from Elijahs perspective and its FASCINATING! Im not sure we can ever know what its like to actually be in someone elses head, but in this case, the POV is startlingly different from being in Daniels head. Elijah just thinks differently so his perspective on events in not the same as youd imagine the same events. I loved that we got to see his yearning and understand where hes coming from then compare that to how Daniel feels and what he sees. The story about Daniels fathers memory issues moves forward, but we see more about the romance in this installment. Its so easy to see how Daniel fits in Elijahs world so well and I was so pleased that when the two find themselves at a hurdle, they push through it rather than let it form a wall between the two of them.

Sidecar Audiobook by Amy Lane

Title: Sidecar Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Chris Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 125 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The year is 1987. The boys wear pink Izod shirts, the girls wear big hair, everyone has a stash box, and AIDS is just an ugly rumor rumbling like a thunderstorm from the cities. A teenage runaway wanders the side of the road, a heartbeat away from despair, and is rescued by a long-haired angel on a Harley. But that's just the beginning of their story. Josiah Daniels wanted peace and quiet and a simple life, and he had it until he rescued Casey from hunger, cold, and exhaustion. Suddenly Joe's life is anything but simple as he and his new charge navigate a world that is changing more rapidly than the people in it. Joe wants to raise Casey to a happy and productive adulthood, and he does. But even as an adult, Casey can't conceive of a happy life without Joe. The trouble is getting Joe to accept that the boy he nurtured is suddenly the man who wants him. Their relationship can either die or change with the world around them. As they make a home, negotiate the new rules of growing up, and swerve around the pitfalls of modern life, Casey learns that adulthood is more than sex, Joe learns that there is no compromise in happy ever after, and they're both forced to realize that the one thing a man shouldn't be is alone. Members Reviews: Heartbreaking, Heartwarming, It's Got It All! For the most part, I consider Amy Lane an insta-buy and Sidecar (audiobook version) was certainly worth the money spent. Josiah and Casey's story is not your typical gay romance; Casey is a homeless teen and Josiah a noble, kind man not about to take advantage of a vulnerable youth, so they don't actually get together until many years after they meet. So their story is a long, winding one, set to a late 80's soundtrack (well, the chapter titles are 80's song titles, at least), taking the pair through their first meeting when Casey is a gay, homeless teen in need of a home and Josiah over 10 years his senior and with a home and caring heart to provide. While Casey would jump at the chance to have a sexual relationship with Joe, Joe refuses and focuses on healing Casey's pain, both physically and psychologically, jumping through hoops to ensure that Casey has a safe place and a future. Sidecar winds through the decades, carrying Joe and Casey through heartache, heartbreak, and so many heartwarming moments, a meandering trip through the vast hills and valleys of love. The tale touches on what it means to be gay/bisexual in the 80s and 90s, what it means to be a father (because Joe very much is Casey's foster father for those first 6 years), and what it means to sacrifice for the one you love. The audiobook performance by Chris Patton is tremendously good, with very distinct voices for Casey, Joe, and the other characters, emotional and evocative and, at times, just plain sexy. His Joe sounds like like I'd imagine him to, especially when he's cranky, and his Casey voice grows with the young man, high and vulnerable when he's an adolescent, and deeper and more confident as he ages. There are very few audiobooks that I will wind up listening to again and this one just made that list. Utter Perfection "Joe grimaced" for no less than 2,345 times in Sidecar. I'm joking, but I'm not; but you will not grimace at this amazing title. About as heartwarming a story as I have every read. It is perfection. The center of the story is not Joe, however; it's Casey.

An Unnatural Vice Audiobook by K.J. Charles

Charles Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: In the sordid streets of Victorian London, unwanted desire flares between two bitter enemies brought together by a deadly secret. Crusading journalist Nathaniel Roy is determined to expose spiritualists who exploit the grief of bereaved and vulnerable people. First on his list is the so-called Seer of London, Justin Lazarus. Nathaniel expects him to be a cheap, heartless fraud. He doesn't expect to meet a man with a sinful smile and the eyes of a fallen angel - or that a shameless swindler will spark his desires for the first time in years. Justin feels no remorse for the lies he spins during his séances. His gullible clients simply bore him. Hostile, disbelieving, utterly irresistible Nathaniel is a fascinating challenge. And as their battle of wills and wits heats up, Justin finds he can't stop thinking about the man who's determined to ruin him. But Justin and Nathaniel are linked by more than their fast-growing obsession with one another. They are both caught up in an aristocratic family's secrets, and Justin holds information that could be lethal. As killers, fanatics, and fog close in, Nathaniel is the only man Justin can trust - and, perhaps, the only man he could love. Members Reviews: K. J. Charles does it again K.J. Charles is an auto buy for me ever since the Magpie series. That remains the favorite, but I definitely enjoyed the second installment of the Sins of the Cities series. While the first book in the series had a gentleness between the two main characters, in this book there is friction and sparks. Following an enemies to lovers storyline, the cynical psychic Justin rubs the crusading journalist Nathaniel the wrong way. But that doesn't stop them from wanting to rub each in other ways (sorry, easy joke). The initial attraction grows to something more when danger follows them in the fog polluted streets of Victorian London. One of my favorite things about K. J. Charles is that her characters are not without flaws and issues. Justin is, to me, the more interesting as someone who will do whatever he can to keep his precarious social position as his protection from poverty and the streets. Nathaniel struggles to put aside his self righteousness but does so once he sees Justin's reality is less privileged than his own. The sex scenes work well as does the eventual solid partnership they form together. The narrator does his usual great job of giving unique voices to each character. In a nutshell, a fun listen that is well worth a credit. The biggest problem I have is the wait until the final book coming out in October. Great addition to the series 4-4.5 stars The second installment in KJ Charles' Sins of the cities series is a wonderful enemies to lovers story, with two completely opposite men clashing on every page, with a great deal of angry sex to follow, but also some fantastic character growth. Each book revolves around a new couple, but the overall mystery story arc continues, so you really need to read the series in order to get the full picture. Justin Lazarus is know as "The seer of London", a complete fraud and charlatan, he has no issue with manipulating and tricking people in grief, when he pretends to speak to their loved ones 'behind the veil'.

The Cattle Baron's Bogus Boyfriend Audiobook by Nicki Bennett

Title: The Cattle Baron's Bogus Boyfriend Author: Nicki Bennett Narrator: Rusty Topsfield Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-16 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: It might be a sham to his boss, but it's all too real to him. Administrative assistant Jonah Hollis has nurtured a hopeless crush on his boss, millionaire cattle rancher Lincoln Courtwright, ever since he started working for him. But hope is kindled when Linc and beautiful rodeo star Melissa Cutler break up just weeks before the biggest event of the Dallas social season, the Cattle Baron's Ball, and Linc asks Jonah to accompany him in her place. Is it all a ploy to make Melissa jealous? Can Jonah fit into Linc's world? It takes some encouragement from his roommates and his best friend, Caylee, for Jonah to agree. Before long, Jonah dares to believe Linc might just feel something for him, until interfering family and a series of misunderstandings threaten his fragile dream of happiness. Members Reviews: 4 stars = I REALLY liked this book! I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen to and review for Wicked Reads. The Cattle Barons Bogus Boyfriend is a M/M take on the classic romance theme of the wealthy boss falling in love with his secretary, who has been secretly pining for him. It makes for a sweet romance, but is relatively angst free other than the vindictive ex and the predictable hes a gold digger accusation thrown in by Lincolns stepmother about Jonah. Because the romance is between two men, it enables Bennett to add a twist to the story regarding Jonahs best friend, Caylee, but even that scenario is ultimately low angst. Although its well written, had I only read the book instead of listening to the audiobook, I would have given it 3 stars because while its entertaining and I did enjoy it, it didnt grab me enough that it made a lasting impression. For me, the narration made The Cattle Barons Bogus Boyfriend truly enjoyable and is what earned the audiobook edition the extra star. With that said, Rusty Topsfields narrative talents were evident as he excelled at making it apparent when Jonah was speaking versus thinking to himself which actually occurs a lot in the story. Initially I found Topsfields use of whispering to indicate Jonahs internal monologue to be annoying, but as it became clear that Jonah internalized a lot especially snarky comments the whispering intonation became my best friend in the audibook as I would have been extremely lost as to when the young man was speaking versus thinking. Topsfield also does a great job of bringing the other characters to life and, as much as I disliked her, I thought he did a wonderful job of conveying the different sides to Eloises character, especially her change in attitude from her initial introduction to how she engaged with the other characters in the epilogue. While I liked both Jonah and Lincoln, there were times that I found Jonah off-putting. Several times in the beginning of the book, prior to him learning that Lincoln was bisexual, he had to remind himself not to read anything into Lincolns praise and acts of kindness because his boss was straight so it couldnt mean anything. Crushes are fine, its what provides fodder for our day dreams, but to need to remind yourself repeatedly that the object of your affection is straight and the guy is just being nice, well it just felt off to me, as though the author had forgotten shed already given the reader that information.

Feeling responsible for the loss, Reid vows to look after Jimmy's young son - even if that means spending far too much time in the company of a woman she harbors feelings for. Members Reviews: Good narration of a solid story. Treat yourself and listen to this well done performance by AJ Ferraro. I am a first time listener of this narrator and will look for more of her work. I find Erin Dutton's stories consistently entertaining and I was happy to hear this story narrated so well. Decent Book. Overall decent book. The story line was a little formulaic but I still enjoyed it. The narrator was also good. If you're looking for a quick and easy listen, this is the book for you.

Title: Caught Running Author: Madeleine Urban, Abigail Roux Narrator: Jeff Gelder Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-12 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 250 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Ten years after graduation, Jake "the jock" Campbell and Brandon "the nerd" Bartlett are teaching at their old high school and still living in separate worlds. When Brandon is thrown into a coaching job on Jake's baseball team, they find themselves learning more about each other than they'd ever expected. High school is all about image - even for the teachers. Brandon and Jake have to get past their preconceived notions to find the friendship needed to work together. And somewhere along the way, they discover that perceptions can always change for the better. Members Reviews: Good and Bad What made the experience of listening to Caught Running the most enjoyable? Read the story and enjoyed it. Can't say much about the audio. Was hoping for a better interpretation. What was one of the most memorable moments of Caught Running? When Jake took a chance to find out if Branden was gay. What three words best describe Jeff Gelders voice? Boring, drone, monotone If you could take any character from Caught Running out to dinner, who would it be and why? Branden, Jake sounds too grumpy for me. Any additional comments? Dreamspinner really needs to find better narrators! Narrator ruined a good story If you could sum up Caught Running in three words, what would they be? Working a touchy Subject What did you like best about this story? I thought that the premise of the story was extremely good. What didnt you like about Jeff Gelders performance? I thought that the narrator was extremely monotoned compared to other stories that I have listed to. Honestly, his reading ruined what could have been a great love story. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Life after High School Any additional comments? I thought that the book took a sensitive subject and made it extremely acceptable. I just didn't care for the music and the the cheesy overtone that the narration took. I think that I would have enjoyed this story much more if I had read it instead of listening to it. I just didn't think that the narration did the story justice. A favorite I've read this story on my kindle several times before listening to this audiobook and I've been in love with this story from the beginning. The main characters are very kind and loving, while having a sense of humor and playfulness. I liked the way that the narrator read the characters, and there were only one or two places where I thought I would have read the line differently if I were reading it. Usually I will have far more instances in which I think that I would have read a line differently when I listen to an audiobook. I would recommend this auidobook to anyone who wants to listen to a story about a sweet relationship between two loving, playful, men develop. I would not recommend this audiobook to someone who wants to be surprised by the plot of the book that they are reading. Guilty Pleasure - Fun Story - NSFW ;) Would you consider the audio edition of Caught Running to be better than the print version? Lot's of sex scenes. The story is cute. A little cliché, but hey, better than most gay fiction. Fantastic story, good narration Brandon and Jake were never friends nor really enemies in high school, simply occupants of totally different social spheres.

Xavier's tempting declarations of marriage are over shadowed by the ominous warnings of a dead man, leaving her to ponder if there can ever be a happily-ever-after for Xavier, Marco, or Sebastian. For her? Finding herself in Victoria's crosshairs, Elaine begins to see the bigger picture unfold and claims her role in the Society's diabolical play - acknowledging that since coincidences are rarely the work of fate, it's time to create a little chaos of her own. Members Reviews: A great ending to s superb series I LOVED the series and really LOVED this book. It was a great conclusion to the series. However it's sad to know there won't be anymore Elaine, Dr. Xavier Vincent, Sebastian and of course Marco. I'll miss them. I truly enjoyed this trilogy plus the novella. It was a very unique story that was very hot, steamy and loving. Renea Mason is a writing genius. This story had everything. It ended much different than I expected but even better than I expected. Such a great read. If you're a romance fan with an open mind, you really need to check out this trilogy. I highly recommend it. I've LOVED everything she has written. I also highly recommend her Symphony of Light series. It's AMAZING. I'm in love with that series as well. Talk about being a truly talented author. I can't wait to see what Renea Mason comes up with next. PERFECT ENDING! WOW!! JUST PERFECT! SHE DID IT AGAIN!!! WOW!!! What a perfect ending to an amazing trilogy!!! This entire series has been so action packed, seriously dirty and all around perfect! I can't say it enough, READ THIS SERIES!!! The Good Doctor Trilogy is filled with brains which I seriously love, these characters are not only SEXY, they are brilliant!! Xavier, Sebastian & Marco are each every women's dream but together... I don't even think most women dream that good. I think my favorite thing about this book was that we got complete closure on all aspects of this story. I will miss this series but I will be stalking the Author waiting for whatever is next and still getting my Author/Narrator combo fix with her PNR series. The narration was great of course, If you haven't listen to Duet style narration, these two own it! Well worth the wait! Would you consider the audio edition of Loving Doctor Vincent to be better than the print version? Oh my god, YES! These two take this book to the next level! Levine has "mastered" his alpha male voice, while Deward can flip the switch from a breathless Elaine to a cold-hearted Victoria with ease. This was a beautiful experience. What was one of the most memorable moments of Loving Doctor Vincent? I have to pick only one??? Ha! No way. Every sex scene, every conspiracy, the fights... all of it was memorable. What does Noah Michael Levine and Erin Deward bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Um, lemme think... realism, I think first and foremost. I AM Elaine in this story, and it's compounded by their brilliant acting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wanted to, and ended up staying awake far too late last night. Unfortunately, at 1:30 in the morning, I had to pause it.

Title: Falling Slowly Author: Lila Bruce Narrator: Lynn Devereux Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 05-06-16 Publisher: Lila Bruce Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Badly wounded in Afghanistan when the helicopter she is piloting goes down under enemy fire, Captain Quinn Briscoe is struggling to rebuild her life. Facing not only a disfiguring injury, but a medical discharge and the end of a serious relationship, Quinn increasingly shuts herself - and her heart - off from the rest of the world. Her first meeting with lovely, self-confident and successful business owner Alison Jenkins is disastrous, and Quinn feels an instant antipathy for the woman, along with an undeniable attraction. Trying to get along for the sake of her sister Rebekah, who's gone to work for Allie, Quinn offers to fly the attractive boutique owner to a family wedding. However, what should have been a quick one day trip to the mountains of North Carolina suddenly turns into a long weekend at a romantic lodge. When a series of circumstances makes it increasingly clear that Quinn won't be able to deny the growing passion between them much longer, will she be able to put the scars of the past aside to build a relationship with Allie worth fighting for? Members Reviews: A Simple but Nice Story So narrator was okay. I felt when she was speaking as a character she was pretty good but when just narrating she was a bit monotone and a bit nonchalant. I liked the book because it was simple and sweet read and the Audio is decent enough. I don't regret getting it. Sweet Lesbian Road Trip-Story/Narration Well Done! I enjoyed this story very much. The story is not especially deep, but it is engaging and sweet. The characters are not complicated, but they are very well developed, relatable, and interesting. If youre looking for a quick, easy feel good listen, this is a great choice. There is just a tiny bit of stereotyping as we follow two women over a weekend trip where they experience, initial dislike of each other, followed by mutual attraction, and a quick jump to romance & even some steamy sex. But there is also touching and comedic moments that will make you smile and maybe even laugh out loud! Definitely worth a listen! Hilarious What did you love best about Falling Slowly? The humor of all the characters. What did you like best about this story? Too short which I think made it feel a little rushed at times. Have you listened to any of Lynn Devereuxs other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. Liked all of the ones I have read. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did. Any additional comments? Love and humor. What more could you ask for. Listenable Again and Again This short novel, super novella is in my top ten list in the lesbian fiction genre. The two major protagonists are both very likable, although Quinn pushes that factor pretty hard in their second meeting before redeeming herself in their third. Allie's cousin and business partner Amanda is a forgettable character but Quinn's sister Rebecca is good and Allie's Aunt Marge is a hoot. It was particularly funny when she asked Quinn if she and Allie lesbianed together. In my opinion this one is a can't miss listening experience, enjoy. pretty good listen I enjoyed it. I was doing my puzzle while listening to the audio. It was cute; that's the word I would use to describe the book.

Members Reviews: it was a good book Any additional comments? What really got to me in a bad way was the same issue I had with Zach previously: Jeremy, too, thinks he knows best and bullies his love interest when the other guy only wants to protect him and even explains that its a matter of significant danger.I was annoyed by the Zach, who I didn't enjoyed in Inside Out. In this book, he was so over the top aggressive towards Lowell. Lowell won my heart, that's all there is to it. Loved Story but please change Tristian's voice! Over the story but hated the voice used for Tristian! It was too nasal.

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Thanks to Collin Montes, Theta Alpha Gamma now welcomes gay and bisexual students. Persuading his Uncle Monty, president of the TAG Alumni Association, that the open approach won't adversely affect TAG's reputation is Collin's own first step toward coming out. As long as there are no repercussions, he'll escape the closet by graduation. Enter repercussions, stage left: someone rigs the TAG House water heater to launch through the ceiling, then plants a bomb - thankfully unsuccessful - in the fraternity's basement. Now Collin has his hands full not only trying to convince his uncle that this might not be the work of homophobes, but also dealing with a frat full of brothers worried about their kegger fridge. Paramedic Eric Dixon can't stop thinking about the kid he met during a call at his former college fraternity house. The age gap between them is trumped by sexy eyes, so when Eric sees Collin again at the bomb scene, he pursues him. Soon, Eric is dreaming of being a househusband, fighting to keep Collin safe from whoever's trying to destroy the fraternity, and helping his sweet young thang realize that repercussions sometimes have silver linings. Members Reviews: May/December romance Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I'm on the fence, simply because I had some issues with the characters and content this time around. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The May/December romance is a trope I adore. I had trouble with the "pet names" being spoken on a constant loop though. What does Nick J. Russo bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings the characters to life in a way that can't possibly be achieved with words on a page. Could you see Sweet Young Thang being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Not really, sorry. Any additional comments? Okay, let me preface by saying I love, love, loved the narration, Nick Russo can do no wrong. The constant pet names were annoying as crap and actually pulled me out of the story, more than once. And I can't be the only person that read/listened to this book with Michael Jackson singing "PYT" in my head in the background. I have a love/hate relationship with this installment of the series, where as I've thoroughly enjoyed all the other stories. The insta-love for me didn't quite ring true, though once Eric convinced Collin they were right for each other and worth coming out for, it flowed well. I've already mentioned the pet name peeve. And it's not the pet names per say, it was the over use to the point of beating a dead dog that bordered insanity for me. I also really enjoyed the frat brothers and friends, I laughed so hard more than once that my ribs hurt, I think I even laughed so hard I was crying at one point. So, I'll say as long as you can overlook the insta-love initiation and the pet name overload, it's a pretty amazing story. This one bothered me a lot. *2.5 stars* Even Nick J. Russo couldn't save this audiobook. I vaguely remembered this story from when I read it in ebook form years ago, but I was not prepared for how much the audio would annoy me.

At her friend's urging, skeptical Catherine meets with a psychic who tells her to look for the color blue, and that's when life spirals from her control.

Catherine denies her attraction to Imogene even while Imogene is falling for the woman behind the numbers. Despite a rocky start, secret past, and misinterpreted predictions, nothing can stop what's growing between them. Together they learn that perhaps blue isn't the color of sadness after all.

Some consider him a hero, but dousing an arsonist's attempt to burn Bronco's to the ground puts Kevin on the vengeful criminal's radar. Afterward, the arsonist fixates on Kevin, determined to burn away every part of Kevin's life. Coming to Kevin's rescue more than once, and in more ways than one, is "MacDreamy Hotness" -firefighter Angus MacTavish. Not only is Angus smitten at first sight, he learns Kevin's nickname for him, intriguing him further. When Angus discovers Kevin is the arsonist's target, he takes it upon himself to protect him at any cost. Soon Kevin works his way into a heart Angus thought he'd closed off for good. Things heat up between them, but the arsonist has no intention of letting Kevin finally find happiness. Hopefully Angus and Kevin can stop him before he reduces everything Kevin values to ash - including the love igniting between him and Angus. Members Reviews: McDreamy Saves the Day Who was your favorite character and why? I guess I didn't have a favorite although Angus was an intriguing and strong-willed man. Kevin, despite his small stature was also quick to stand up for himself. Any additional comments? I love voice actor Michael Pauley's performances every time. This is always engaging and entertaining. I never feel as though I'm listening to one person but that there are multiple people telling the story. Breath taking I just love this book it had everything that made a book simply great And the characters like bull and angus are very memorable Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance Story Rating: 4 of 5 Stars Narration Rating: 3 of 5 Stars Overall Rating: 3.5 of 5 Stars Story Review: Round and Round continued the trend of this series. This was another cute but fast romance interspersed with a bit of mystery and characters who needed healing and growth. The author kept the story moving by keeping me wondering about the identity and motivation of the bad guy. It was this mystery and the bit of character growth that kept me interested because the romance was pretty much established right off the bat and was mostly solid throughout the entire story. I was glad Kevin found his MacDreamy Hotness and that he and Angus worked so well together, yet they were still not perfect. I liked this series and this story was no exception. Andrew Grey is one of my go to authors when I want a satisfying read without too much emotional strain. I thought this story wrapped up the foursome nicely and I really hope officer grumpy gets his own story because he intrigued me and I want to know more of his history. Narration Review: Overall, I thought this narration was very good. It hit the high points of the emotions and the story. The narrator really brought the characters to life. I took of stars because the story specifically said the main character did not have an accent except in extreme cases and specifically called out the instances when the accent was audible.

Title: Black John Subtitle: Johnnies, Book 4 Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: John Carey is just out of rehab and dying inside when he gets word that Tory, the guy who loved him and broke him, has removed himself from the world in the most bitter way possible - and left John to clean up his mess. Forced back to his hometown in Florida, John's craving a hit with every memory when he meets Tory's neighbor. Spacey and judgmental, Galen Henderson has been rotting in his crappy apartment since a motorcycle accident robbed him of his mobility, his looks, and his boyfriend all in one mistake. Galen's been hiding at the bottom of an oxy bottle, but when John shows up, he feels obligated to help wade through the wreckage of Tory's life. The last thing John needs is another relationship with an addict, and the last thing Galen wants is a conscience. Both of them are shocked when they find that their battered souls can learn from and heal one another. It doesn't hurt that they're both getting a crash course on how growing up and getting past your worst mistakes sure beats the alternative - and that true love is something to fight to keep if your lover is fighting to love you back. Members Reviews: What happened to Sean Crisden? Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator. What did you like best about this story? Reading it. Honestly, three hours in and I had to stop listening to it. I love Amy's Johnnies series but the narrator just ruined it for me. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Gomez Pugh? The previous narrator of the Johnnies series, Sean Crisden. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably not, only because I can't imagine it ever being made into a movie. Any additional comments? There is a huge difference between a voice actor and a narrator who just uses accents to differentiate between various characters. Gallen is supposed to be a highly educated corporate lawyer, a 'land-shark'. Instead he sounds like a whinging hick who just fell off the back of a turnip truck. Brilliant narration - wonderful hurt/comfort! Any additional comments? While the players and the setting changes, the game remains the same. Gomez Pugh picks up the narration for the final installment of the Johnnies series, and does it beautifully. Pugh consistently delivers a dynamic and impressive performance. While the other three books in the series focused on the Johnnies set and life in and around Sacramento, Black John focuses more on the characters, on Johnnies owner, John Carey, in particular, and is set mainly in Florida. John has just completed a stint in rehab for a long-time cocaine addiction when he receives word that the first person he ever loved, Vittorio "Tory" Petrelli has taken his own life and left a will asking John to release his ashes into the sea. When John arrives back in Florida to clean out Tory's apartment and get rid of his stuff, he meets Tory's next door neighbor, Galen Henderson, who helps John with the apartment cleanup, and emotional support. The two work their way through Tory's things, and piece together his final days. In the process John and Galen grow closer and fall in love. Unfortunately, Galen is battling his own demons and has been hooked on painkillers since a terrible motorcycle accident left him with crippling pain, a limp, and scars. One of the things that nearly killed me was just how good the hurt/comfort is in this story.

The One Who Saves Me Audiobook by Cardeno C.

Narrator: Alexander Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-15-16 Publisher: The Romance Authors, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: At 14, Andrew Thompson and Caleb Lakes become best friends. As the years pass, they stand by each other through family trauma, school, and the start of their careers. They share their first sexual experiences, learning and experimenting, and they talk each other through countless dates and breakups. Decades of trust and loyalty build a deep and abiding friendship, one that surpasses any relationship in their lives. But when the parameters of their unique friendship change, neither man knows how to break out of their established roles to build something new. After all, boyfriends come and go, but best friends are forever. Members Reviews: Home series book 6 What did you love best about The One Who Saves Me? The way that Caleb and Andrew are always there for each other regardless. Who was your favorite character and why? Drew with his piercings and tattoos. They are a form of battle scars in a way, marking every failed relationship or low point in his life. What three words best describe Alexander Collinss voice? Emotional, light, different If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The One Who Saves Me. Any additional comments? Caleb Lakes and Andrew Thompson became best friends when they were barely teenagers, spending summers together at Andrews familys vacation home. Over the years they developed a bond based on friendship and trust. As the years go by there is one constant in each mans life, each other. They seriously re-define the term friends with benefits and are a rock for each other through jobs, moves, break-ups and family drama. And then one look at a New Years party changes just one thing, their commitment to each other. I first listened to this audio book about two years ago, the version that was narrated by Paul Morey. While the narration for this book wasnt bad, it wasnt Paul Morey, so I had a hard time giving Andrew Collins a chance. Once I let my perception shift, I was able to enjoy Collins narration. He does a good job with changes in tone and inflections from one character to another, and he really conveyed the emotions of the characters well. The story is told almost like reading from a journal of Drew and Calebs lives. Spanning over more than a decade, the reader is taken on a journey through summer vacations, college, emotionally absent parents, boyfriends, break-ups and much, much more. The two of them continue to live their separate lives, but they always have time for each other. I think that Drew probably realized he wanted more from his relationship with Caleb before Caleb did, and that was fed into the story through the tattoos and piercings Drew got every time another guy bit the dust, because he couldnt compare to Caleb. The passion and angst were palpable, but rarely was there awkwardness. In fact, when things did become awkward was when they finally figured out that the reason neither of them were lucky in love, was because their heart had been given away long ago. What I enjoy about this series is that there is a connection between the books and characters, but not in a way that they must all be read or read in order. The story is sexy, emotional, occasionally intense but light-hearted when it needs to be.

The Starving Years: MMM Dystopian Romance Audiobook by Jordan Castillo Price

Title: The Starving Years: MMM Dystopian Romance Author: Jordan Castillo Price Narrator: Gomez Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-16 Publisher: JCP Books LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 170 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: The chemistry between these three men is undeniable, but is it enough to save Manhattan? Imagine a world without hunger. In 1960, a superfood was invented that made starvation a thing of the past. Manna, the cheaply manufactured staple food, is now as ubiquitous as salt in the world's cupboards, pantries and larders. Nelson Oliver knows plenty about manna. He's a food scientistaccording to his diploma, that is. Lately, he's been running the register at the local video rental dive to scrape together the cash for his outrageously priced migraine medication. In a job fair gone bad, Nelson hooks up with copywriter Javier and his computer-geek pal Tim, who whisks them away from the worst of the fiasco in his repurposed moving truck. At least, Nelson thinks those two are acquainted, but they're acting so evasive about it, he's not sure how they know each other, exactly. Javier is impervious to Nelson's flirting, and Tim's name could appear in the dictionary under the entry for "awkward." And with a riot raging through Manhattan and yet another headache coming on, it doesn't seem like Nelson will get an answer anytime soon. One thing's for sure, the tension between the three of them is thick enough to cut with a knife...even one of those dull plastic dealies that come in the package with Mannariffic EZ-Mealz. The Starving Years is a must-read for fans of dystopian romance looking for scorching M/M/M chemistry in a fast-paced, page-turning adventure. Members Reviews: Jordan and Gomez rock! Loved the book and loved the audio version even more! Jordan and Gomez do it again! Outstanding! A brilliant and totally different story! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! Have you listened to any of Gomez Pughs other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. He is first rate! Any additional comments? A brilliant story about 3 men who fall in love during chaos. Good story, ending not so much. really enjoyed this book. was invested in the story and the characters. The ending felt like a train that ran out of track. everybody got off safe, but you can't help feeling if it just chugged along you would have seen something great. I still recommended it to a friend. Amazing addition to the genre A MMM romance that depends on plot rather than graphic sex was a great treat. Truly enjoyed this story. I hope the author writes more long form stories like this. JCP hits another home run! Wisconsin's own Jordan Castillo Price has said that she likes to write speculative fiction in which one aspect of modern life is changed, and then ravel the story to show the effects of that one change on the world and people in it. She's done that very successfully in her terrific PsyCop series, and has done it again in The Starving Years. Price also creates flawed, quirky, even possibly irritating characters, and makes them completely three-dimensional and lovable. The three protagonists, Javier, Nelson, and Tim, are fully realized, interesting individuals, as are several supporting characters. The plot in this almost-recognizeable alt-NYC is dystopian, and yet many qualities of this world are quite recognizable, and Price uses the opportunity, as do many good writers of sci-fi, to make a few comments about contemporary society.

Find out in THE STRANGER 2, the second installment of The Stranger series! Members Reviews: Book 2 of 4 This episode consists another 25 minutes total with a second sexual encounter a week following book 1 and the stranger tops but leaves the bedroom without leaving name or phone number again. The performance leads the Story and the Overall process of spending too little time being engaged by the authors. I have no interest wasting my time with books 3 and 4. I really am more interested in why anyone would stretch this little work into 4 books. Books 3 & 4 are approximately 50 minutes long each. Do you really think there is suddenly going to be a great plot and ending from these two authors? I don't.

Title: Black Balled Author: Andrea Smith, Eva LeNoir Narrator: Joel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-16 Publisher: Andrea Smith Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 214 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Two dominant males, two worthy adversaries, in a business that takes no prisoners will soon learn that fate refuses to be ignored. My name is Troy Babilonia, but I'm best known as Babu, a renowned literary critic with my own online column. I'm followed by thousands! I'm a living god in the literary world. I have no filter, and for that my flock of humble followers are forever grateful. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't know what to read. I have zero tolerance for weak-minded attention seekers, nor do I have respect for the self-proclaimed geniuses of the indie world. My advice to all indie authors is to never break the cardinal rule in this cutthroat business. Ever. My name is L. Blackburn, and I'm an indie author. My extraordinary genius was loved and worshiped throughout the literary world until one egocentric critic tried to obliterate my career. It seems I broke some "cardinal rule", and now I'm paying the price for it. But I don't plan on going down without a fight. Members Reviews: Great narration - Interesting story Would you listen to Black Balled again? Why? Maybe. It was interesting but so much dramatics in the way the two main characters behaved. Who was your favorite character and why? The neighbor lady, though I can't remember her name. She had a good sense of humor and kind of calmed the two men down. What about Joel Leslies performance did you like? He has so many accents and little variations that he creates with his voice that he gives everyone a unique sound. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The bonus stories at the end definitely made me laugh hard. Any additional comments? The narration: I have become a big fan of this narrator, Joel Leslie. He creates so many different accents and tones that it seems every character has its own voice. I have enjoyed several of his narrations in the past, and would definitely listen to more from him in the future. The story: I have to admit I had reservations about listening to this book because it is at least partially based on a real life fiasco that occurred on Goodreads. There are a lot of low rated reviews, and plenty of people who shelved it as will never read because of it. The fact that I received a review copy and the need to form my own opinions made me decide to put aside my doubts and check it out for myself. One of the things that made it easier for me to listen to was that the authors do not just villainize the reviewer but also the author as well. They even make the reviewers sycophants look bad. I appreciate that it wasnt a one-sided blame game. The story opens up on a review posted by Babu for L.(Larson) Blackburns newest book. The reviewer tears the book apart, questions the authors sexuality, and hints that he hopes it is just a woman writing about things women just dont write well and urges her to stick to romance and chick-lit. Babus followers immediately thank him for saving them time. Since many of them are women, I dont understand how the sexist remarks dont bother them. They are definitely portrayed as mindless suck-ups that accept the word of a popular reviewer without checking things out for themselves. While Larson appears to be victimized by this reviewer, his thoughts upon reading the review, dont make him sound like a much better person. Apparently being called a female is the worse thing that could happen to him.

Russo Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 119 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Jason Walker is a child star turned teen heartthrob turned reluctant B-movie regular who's sick of his failing career. So he gives up Hollywood for northern Idaho, far away from the press, the drama of LA, and the best friend he's secretly been in love with for years. There's only one problem with his new life: a strange young man only he can see is haunting his guesthouse. Except Benjamin Ward isn't a ghost. He's a man caught out of time, trapped since the Civil War in a magical prison where he can only watch the lives of those around him. He's also sweet, funny, and cute as hell, with an affinity for cheesy '80s TV shows. And he's thrilled to finally have someone to talk to. But Jason quickly discovers that spending all his time with a man nobody else can see or hear isn't without its problems - especially when the tabloids find him again and make him front-page news. The local sheriff thinks he's on drugs, and his best friend thinks he's crazy. But Jason knows he hasn't lost his mind. Too bad he can't say the same thing about his heart. Members Reviews: Maybe the best Holiday Audiobook This Year! When Jason Walker, a B list actor finds himself in a small town re-thinking his life, hes shocked and amazed to find hes not living alone. Ben is the boy who haunts a snowglobe he finds in the house left by a previous tenant. Jason, ironically a B list horror film star, is either crazy or Ben is real and a ghost. I dont want to give away big secrets but I will drop these morsels: Ben and Jason find a way to touch one another Jason is the only one who can see Ben Neither knows a way other than death for them to be together in real life This book ends with a delightful HEA ** I think this may be my favorite Marie Sexton book (after her Coda series). Her writing is gorgeous and evocative and really draws the reader in from the first page. The way she solves the main dilemma is both terrifying and wonderful! I highly recommend this story to fans of the belief that love conquers all, for people who believe that there are Christmas miracles, to believers in magic and to fans of sweet and sappy romances everywhere! 5 of 5 stars Audio Nick J Russo does another amazing job. Hes easy to listen to and really carries the emotion well. My only disappointment was that he didnt give Ben an old fashioned voice or any sort of voice inflection or accent. He sounds just as anyone else would in our day in time and I guess in a way that makes sense but I was hoping for something a little different. Just something to remind us that his voice is coming from a music box In any case, it was still wonderful and a fantastic way to experience this amazing story! 4.5 of 5 stars Overall 5 of 5 stars If you buy one audio book this year get this one I don't know if I can relay to you how amazing this story is it has everything from two very strong main characters to a creepy home. This book is on my re-read list. Marie Sexton choose the perfect narrator for this. Nick J. Russo made this come more to life. Fantastic work both the author and the narration. Hauntingly romantic Would you consider the audio edition of Winter Oranges to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version, but Nick J Russo brings the story to life so I would imagine that would. The story is so good its a win either way! Who was your favorite character and why? Ben! He is unusual.

Sins of the Flesh Audiobook by Debra Dunbar

Two sex demons could set Maui aflame with desire, but there's another creature with a more lethal inferno planned. Defeating it and saving the island will take all of Amber's newfound powers, as well as the help of friends new and old - especially since there's more to this enemy than what first meets the eye. Members Reviews: PINEAPPLES DON'T GROW ON TREES!!! How can this and the previous book be so full of overly complicated/detailed and frankly unnecessary botany information yet consistently make this ridiculous mistake of referring to pineapple trees. Good Book but Silly Mistakes I live in a area that grows sugar cane and pineapples. They do not burn sugarcane here anymore, it actually reduces the sugar content in the cane. Pineapples also do not grow on trees. Lol. Pineapples grow on a plant that grows on the ground. It was a hilarious mistake. Otherwise this was a fun story and I loved it. not worth it so disappointing this character Amber is written so ditzzy I have been yelling at the book... I think the authour is trying to build suspense ... however it makes one feel the the character Amber is beyond stupid. the main series Imp is fun and entertaining , with brain cells. Enjoyable romp What did you like most about Sins of the Flesh? The way the Character of Amber develops as she grows up What did you like best about this story? Its just a feelgood book bit of romance bit of explicit sex and an (implausible) story that just takes you along - not a book that needs a lot of brain power - great for listening to when a bit tired. What does Hollie Jackson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? The book is well read with easy to identify characters, not sure it really gains from reading but definitely doesnt detract. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Be interesting to make a film that could be shown in mainstream cinemas as parts of the book are definitely a bit risque and more likely to be found in a porn film - still if 50 shades could be made into a mainstream film who knows Any additional comments? Suggest reading the first books of Imp series and Demons of Desire first as this is a development and spin of a character that first appears in the imp books. Could probably be read stand alone but better if you have the background on Amber and demons and angels or it might make less sense. Looking forwards to more books in the series if Debra plans to write them - there is certainly scope for continuing the story

Title: At Piper's Point Author: Ethan Day Narrator: Michael Lesley Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-16 Publisher: Wilde City Press, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Ten years and many boyfriends later, Cassidy Winters finally returns to the ancestral home of his late grandmother, Sadie Hart, despite the best efforts of his father to prevent it. Cassidy's plans of a quiet, seaside ceremony to wish a final farewell to Sadie quickly unravel. Interruptions run roughshod, beginning with Neil, who walks out of the ocean and straight into Cassidy's bed. The dominos topple one by one and news of his arrival spreads faster than Cassidy's legs, bringing his boyhood friend and first love, Nate Sommers, to his doorstep. As if the island wasn't getting crowded enough for Cassidy's good taste and bad decisions, best friends Ollie and Spencer arrive in time to witness the uninvited return of Cassidy's most recent ex, Teddy, who's refusing to stay dumped. Fists fly and all hell breaks loose amid mojitos and martinis while Cassidy finds himself planning a huge party to celebrate Sadie's life. Accusations are aimed as arguments and libidos boil over, but even through the chaos Cassidy knows exactly who he wants. While he's certainly willing, he isn't sure if he's ready or able for love and life at Pipers Point. Members Reviews: Entertaining Any additional comments? Cassidy Winters has spent the last (almost) decade fighting with his father first to return his grandmother, Sadie Hart, to her home at Piper's Point, and, later, after her death, fighting in court to prove Sadie's will valid, which left Piper's Point to Cassidy so he could bring her ashes home. It has been ten years since Cassidy has returned to the island where he spent his summers with Sadie and he's filled with fear that people will blame him for not being able to win against his father when he wanted to bring Sadie home. Filled with humor and a surprising amount of UST, this also had a lot of emotional depth, particularly with Cassidy dealing with his guilt and grief. I am a fan of Michael Lesley's. I love his performances - because let's be clear, Michael doesn't really narrate a story, he PERFORMS it. In glorious 3-D Technicolor. Sometimes it can be over the top, even sometimes a bit too melodramatic, and there were some emotional nuances to the story I would have preferred a quieter tone for, but Michael doesn't really do "quiet". He does however do wildly entertaining. If you're looking for a funny, sexy, surprisingly emotional, sweet romance with lots of UST - pick this one up. Listening to this was fun and entertaining and fans of Lesley's performances will be right at home. Great story Loved the story and can even see a movie being made out of it. Michael Lesley is supper at the narration Fun, Sweet, Emotional and Hilarious A fun and sweet trip down memory lane, with both hilarious and emotional moments. But... the present is even more entertaining. The book starts with Cassidy comes back to his late-grandmother house on Hart's island where he used to spend every summer there. In the beginning, the book switches back and forth between past and present which you will slow learn more about each character. There are some teary moments from both sweet and sad memory, but nothing depressing. There are also many dramas both serious and not-serious one. We wouldn't be left sad and brooding for long though.

Title: A Reason to Believe Author: Diana Copland Narrator: Jack LeFleur Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-12 Publisher: Carina Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 466 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Detective Matthew Bennett doesn't believe in ghosts. So when the spirit of a murdered child leads him to her body, he's shaken to the core - and taken off the case. Unable to explain his vision, or to let go of the investigation, Matthew turns to renowned medium Kiernan Fitzpatrick. Though he has doubts about Kiernan's claims to communicate with the dead, Matt is nevertheless drawn to the handsome psychic, who awakens feelings he thought were long-buried. Haunted by the lingering spirit of the little girl, Kiernan is compelled to aid in the search for her killer. The chance to get closer to the enigmatic Matt is an unexpected bonus. Although Kiernan's been betrayed by people who turned out to be more interested in his fame than in himself, with Matt he's willing to risk his heart. As the two men grow closer, Kiernan helps Matt rediscover that life offers no guarantees - but love offers a reason to believe.... Members Reviews: Addictive listening What did you like best about this story? It was very hard to take a break from listening to this excellent story. Not only are the intimate scenes hot and fulfilling, but there is actually an exciting, intriguing and mysterious thriller story as well... yes a STORY! I enjoyed it even more because of this. But lets not forget, the sex scenes are everything you could hope for! Because the characters are carefully built up to this point, it is even more of a pay off. Skin Crawling This was a book filled to the brim with suspense; I did not know what to expect next. Jack LeFleur made the characters come to life. I highly recomend this audiobook! great narrator A really good audibook. Excellent book to start the month with! This book starts of with Detective Matthew Bennett getting a missing child call. After the police has a taken a look around, Matt hears a little girl. He follows her voice and eventually her to discover her body and is quickly placed on administrative leave by his superiors. They also order him to see the department psychologist because they think he is losing it. See, 15 months ago, Matt lost his work partner of 3 years, who also was his romantic partner. He never took time off to properly grief, so Matt's vision has to be the grief he is feeling. Only, Matt's sister in law and best friend Sheila thinks supernatural things occur and that he shouldn't dismiss what happened to him as crazy business. She takes him to see renowned medium Kiernan Fitzpatrick and the two of them set off to solve the mystery of why the dead girl Abby chose to appear to Matt AND who hurt this little girl. It was definitely off the record as Matt was on leave and the medium is not part of the police department. The subject was a sad murder, but solving it became a form of catharsis for both Matt and Kiernan. Damage from the past has kept them from truly connecting with others, but their sisters (Shiela and Aidan) were the pillars that kept the guys erect. I love the way the story was written. even though it wasn't a love story, there was revelation and justice and love in this story. It kept me interested from page one until the end and I felt very satisfied at the conclusion. I would love a sequel to this one! All-around Great Where does A Reason to Believe rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Among the best! What other book might you compare A Reason to Believe to and why? I do not compare one novel with another.

The Charioteer Audiobook by Mary Renault

Title: The Charioteer Author: Mary Renault Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 82 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: After surviving the Dunkirk retreat, Laurie Odell, a young homosexual, critically examines his unorthodox lifestyle and personal relationships, as he falls in love with a young conscientious objector and becomes involved with a circle of world-weary gay men. Members Reviews: A Gay Classic! The story is timeless in it's depiction of coming out and finding your own niche. Set in WWII the story of Laurie, a young man out of the army, wounded and coming to terms with his new physical body impairment as well as his sexuality. He breezes from the hospital to a party where he finds another group of like-minded men who round up the characters to be in Laurie's life. I found it interesting that different "types" of men still exist in gay society today. I really enjoyed the narrator who handled each voice well; never too over the top. This novel is a great representation of first loves and lasting loves. Highly recommend this book to young and old gay men of today for a bit of history on how it was like for us back in an earlier time and how some feelings stay the same when it comes to love. A struggle at first. But then it pulls you in. Amazingly well done. Psychologically comparable to Gone w/the Wind in many ways. Truly exceptional! Magnificent story magnificently narrated I had forgotten how much I love 'The Charioteer ' by Mary Renault. The story itself is excellent; the depiction of Laurie and Ralph and their struggle to be themselves within the constraints of their society wrenching at times. The characterisation is excellent and I always find myself rooting for Ralph and Laurie, even though I've read it a number of times over the years.. The narration was excellent. I could 'see' the characters as they spoke; their differences were apparent through changes in tone and pitch and I had no problems identifying who was speaking (I shall probably bookmark all my favourite bits so that I can revisit particular sections but I will be listening to this again (& again) as I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The language, setting and characters are immersive to the point where you resent being interrupted reading or listening to go and do something else. It's a book I want to wrap myself up in whether I'm reading or listening and if you like WWII set novels with gay characters figuring themselves out in a restrictive society then I recommend giving 'The Charioteer' a go. A most compelling listening experience The novel's philosophical ambiguity, rich language, & subtle,touching, complete characterisation are quite wonderfully caught by a narrator whose variety, emotional conviction and pace are superb, I have never heard narration like this: it is like having a dramatisation with a first rate, perfectly differentiated cast of greats with the story itself rendered with unmatched elan and at the same time astonishingly intelligent restraint. Absolutely wonderful. If you are like me, you will find it incredible that all this is coming through one voice. Beautiful story, excellent narration I loved this book. I found myself rewinding several passages to experience again the depth of feeling. It's a classic of gay literature.

Second Hand Audiobook by Heidi Cullinan, Marie Sexton

Title: Second Hand Subtitle: A Tucker Springs Novel Author: Heidi Cullinan, Marie Sexton Narrator: Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-16 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 148 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Paul Hannon moved to Tucker Springs for his girlfriend, but she's left him with a house he can't afford and a pantry full of useless gadgets. All Paul wants is to get back to normal, even if he's not sure what that is anymore. When he wanders into Tucker Pawn for a gift to win her back, he meets El Rozal, pawn shop owner and all-around cynic. El Rozal doesn't do relationships, especially not with clueless straight boys still pining for their ex. El may make his living dealing in castoffs, but that doesn't apply to men. Still, when Paul starts clearing out his old life, pawning kitchen equipment he never wanted in the first place, El is drawn to Paul in spite of himself. Paul and El have nothing in common except a past full of disappointments. There's no reason to believe the two of them could fit, but in El's line of work, one man's junk is another man's treasure. When it comes to love, El and Paul may learn that secondhand doesn't mean second best. Publisher's note: This novel is part of the Tucker Springs series, which do not need to be heard in order. Members Reviews: Solid performance once again! Any additional comments? I really like Iggy Toma's narration in this - he gives a solid performance, I like most of his character voices, and he sucked me into the story making me ignore the outside world completely. Which is a good thing. No matter what my boss or co-workers might tell you. Second Hand is one of those stories that has a slow build-up to the romance. Mainly because main character Paul is one of the most clueless characters I've seen portrayed in a long time. Paul is also what I call a downer dude or an Eeyore. He's constantly dragging about lamenting his life and the choices he's made. It's hard for me to like a character like that very much. Conversely, El, for all his chain-smoking and brusque ways, was a delight to get to know. The problems he faces with his family situation felt real, and were, I thought, handled well. I like that the story has a slow build up to their relationship. I like the time it takes Paul to realize, and then comes to terms with, liking El in a romantic way. What I didn't like is the ex-girlfriend and the drama she brought to the story. Whenever she showed up I was livid while listening; practically boiling over with rage. I also didn't like the POV. Paul's POV is in first person while El's is third person. It was weird. I'm not sure if the weirdness was lessened or exasperated by the narration. I just know I didn't particularly care for it. It wasn't a deal breaker, but it did feel like two different stories mashed up into one book. Which, I guess if the two authors were penning different portions that makes sense, but I would have though it would come together more cohesively. At the end of the day, though, it was an enjoyable listen with a sweet HEA and fans of Tucker Springs shouldn't be disappointed with this installment of the series. Loved it! What made the experience of listening to Second Hand the most enjoyable? I didn't know what I was in for when I popped this in. I guess, based on the cover and blurb, I expected that it would be an ordinary, run-of-the-mill story about two guys falling for each other. That's not what I got, at all. It is a comedic delight.

Title: Blindsided Author: Karis Walsh Narrator: Betsy Zajko Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 12-10-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Guide dog trainer Lenae McIntyre left the high-speed world of television news writing behind, and now she helps other visually impaired people adjust to life with their canine companions. She teaches her students and their dogs to trust each other, but a past betrayal and the determination to be self-sufficient and independent keep her from trusting her heart to see love. Cara Bradley compensates for her family's shallow celebrity lifestyle by devoting her life to helping others, while keeping to the background. She reluctantly commits to a year of puppy walking a four-legged whirlwind named Pickwick so she can film regular segments for a local news program while helping promote the McIntyre Training Center, but she is unprepared for the changes that the driven and aloof Lenae will bring to her life. Blindsided by love, can Lenae and Cara learn to trust and guide each other toward a new vision for their future? Members Reviews: Blindsided is Awesome! Would you listen to Blindsided again? Why? Yes, it's a charming love story that deals a lot in trust issues. Who was your favorite character and why? Since I am handicapped you would think I would relate more with the blind girl but it's the report that I liked best, she had such a hard time expressing her true emotions or understanding them until it was pointed out to her. Have you listened to any of Betsy Zajkos other performances before? How does this one compare? Nope, but she is AWESOME Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I just loved it. Any additional comments? Really good book needs to be heard. Enjoyable Which character as performed by Betsy Zajko was your favorite? Betsy's performance was never distracting or grating with any of the characters. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I didn't listen to this book in one sitting, but I looked forward to when I would get a chance to continue. Good little book Nice story, all books must end if not going on to a sequel and I wished it didn't end. Going well until the last 2-3 chapters and the story line seemed to just Peter out quickly. Could have done more exploring of the relationship and what was to happen to the dog handling.where was that story line to go.. Would have been great had the writer delve into who would get Pickwick and where would he spend his life as a guide dog. On the other hand --the book was the relationship between the women so it seemed to end abruptly-- but that's the way books usually finish. Very nice read though and I would recommend it! Moving story of learning to trust and love. The narration was moving. I loved the characters and how they both dealt with their own pasts. The journey they both took together to understand themselves and each other is something I know I will enjoy again and again. informative and enjoyable What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I started out not thinking much about the everyday challenges of the blind. I'd like to think that's not because I'm callous, but I had never put much time into it. I didn't know that "puppy walking" is a real thing. This book gently taught me quite a bit.

Backcast Audiobook by Ann McMan

Title: Backcast Author: Ann McMan Narrator: Christine Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 12-10-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 97 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: When sculptor and author Barb Davis is given an NEA grant to pair original feminist sculptures with searing first-person essays on transitions in women's lives, she organizes a two-week writing retreat with 12 of the best, brightest, and most notorious lesbian authors in the business. But in between regularly scheduled happy hours and writing sessions, the women enter a tournament bass-fishing competition, receive life coaching from a wise-cracking fish named Phoebe, and uncover a subterranean world of secrets and desires that is as varied and elusive as the fish that swim in the waters of Lake Champlain. Set on the beautiful shores of Vermont's Lake Champlain, Backcast is richly populated with an expansive cast of endearing and outrageous characters who battle writer's block, quirky locals, personal demons, unexpected attractions, and even each other during their two-week residency. For Barb and each of her 12 writers, the stakes in this fast-moving story are high, but its emotional and romantic payoffs are slow and sweet. Filled with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking pathos, Backcast serves up a sometimes irreverent, sometimes sobering look at the hidden lives of women, and how they laugh, love, lose, and blunder through their own search for meaning. Members Reviews: I LOVE Ann McMann!!! This is a Laugh Out Loud book. What an awesome weave of characterizations in a well crafted tale of life! What a beautiful work! I recommend all of her stories. I long for more audio books! Ann McMan has a special talent for mastering the character development in each of her books. Her gentle weave of character in this tale feels so very authentic. Another fabulous book. Well written and told This story had both comedy and tragedy.The author was able to spin this tale out and reel it back in so all of the pieces fell together and provided the story with a very heart felt and warm closure. Well done, I highly recommend its reading. I was thoroughly touched by this book. I have read it and listened to it. It is worth to experience both platforms. Reality Once again Ann has written a very interesting book. Sometimes we don't realize how people were raised and how they were perceived. But I Ann found a way to put her humor in this book and I love Quinn. Reality Can Be One Tough Topic If you could sum up Backcast in three words, what would they be? Herstory is past. Who was your favorite character and why? Mavis or Pheobe Which scene was your favorite? The last scene. Too bad it was just the snake that got shot. Maybe just a kneecap or something, but dude got off easy. Who was the most memorable character of Backcast and why? The character development was two sided. We knew something about their past, even though we can't now attribute the past to specific characters, which is one of my complaints about the use of the epilogue... Otherwise, GREAT character development. Good stitching of friendships together and how each woman balances the other. Any additional comments? I'll start with my most positive thoughts and leave my grumpiness for last... One of the things that I admire about Ann McMan as an author is that she writes from a place that allows her to speak frankly and authoritatively regarding religion and LGBTQ issues. She does this respectfully, not pigeon-holing the whole lot of them, but not letting them get away with their ignorance either. It's a delicate road to walk.

Candy Man Audiobook by Amy Lane

Title: Candy Man Author: Amy Lane Narrator: Philip Alces Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Adam Macias has been thrown a few curve balls in his life, but losing his VA grant because his car broke down and missing a class was the one that struck him out. One relative away from homelessness, he has taking the bus to Sacramento, where his cousin has offered a house-sitting job and a new start. He has one goal, and that's to get his life back on track. Friends, pets, lovers need not apply. Finn Stewart takes one look at Adam as he's applying to Candy Heaven and decides he's much too fascinating to leave alone. Finn is bright and shiny - and has never been hurt. Adam is wary of his attention from the very beginning - Finn is dangerous to every sort of peace Adam is forging, and Adam may just be too damaged to let him in at all. But Finn is tenacious, and Adam's new boss, Darrin, doesn't take bullshit for an answer. Adam is going to have to ask himself which is harder - letting Finn in or living without him? With the holidays approaching, it seems like an easy question, but Adam knows from experience that life is seldom simple. And the world seldom cooperates with hope, faith, or the plans of cats and men. Members Reviews: Great pairing of Alces and Lane - sweet! Adam is having a rough life. His mother and grandmother treated him like pond scum growing up, so he joined the military to prove he was worthy. He fell in love with one of his fellow soldiers, only to be left high and dry when his lover didnt want to come out of the closet. He returned to the states to go back to school, but lost his grant when his car died and he could no longer attend classes. With his last gasp, he heads up to his cousins apartment for 6 months of free rent to try to get his life in order. With what feels like divine intervention, Adam stumbles into Candy Heaven following the Help Wanted sign and is immediately set to work. His boss also plays the role of his fairy godfather and matchmaker by hooking him up with Finn, the sandwich delivery guy. Finn is young, idealistic, freshly single, and unstoppable. He sees the darkness in Adam and knows he can bring in the light. By pairing his cheery disposition with offerings of free food, he slowly breaks through the walls surrounding Adams heart. Adam, who fully believes he isnt worthy of someone like Finn, does what he can to stave off the romance, but when he really needs help, Finn is there and its Finn who helps him see that he does have value and most importantly hope. ** This is one of Amys relatively low angst stories. Of course she will make you cry (for me it was at least twice) but most of the story is full of awwww. I was reminded of her story Christmas Kitsch in that Oliver little Oliver was the force of nature blowing in and taking charge. In The Candy Man thats Finn. He wont take no for an answer and hes fearless. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters and I really hope Joni gets her girl one day and that we get to read more about Ricos romance. (Fingers crossed!). The vaguely paranormal part of the story left me with a new respect for Pixie Stix, as well! Amy can describe a scene so thoroughly that I could picture Adams drawings, Finns hair, Gonzos fight against the medicine - everything.

With an empty altar and over a hundred guests arriving soon, he turns to the resistant, gorgeous brother of the runaway groom for help. When Richard Patterson's flamboyant brother storms out hours before he's scheduled to marry his equally dramatic partner, Richard is left dealing with the fallout. The last thing he wants is more drama, yet he can't deny his attraction to the effeminate event planner trying to salvage the wedding. Evan thinks his crush on Richard is a lost cause, but one steaming kiss later, he learns different. What starts as a night of hot sex turns into a connection neither expected. But Evan knows their relationship is hopeless unless the ultra-conservative Richard can embrace every part of him - both in private and in public. Members Reviews: Super sexy and fun Christmas story Where does Champagne Kisses rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Since I've loved the majority of the Audio's I've listened to, that's a hard question to answer. It's worth a listen and I'll definitely listen to it again every year around the Holidays. What was one of the most memorable moments of Champagne Kisses? The intimacy when these two come together. I enjoyed reading it last year when I read the e-book, but there was something about the way Silversmith told the story that added an extra layer to it. Have you listened to any of Tobias Silversmiths other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not, sorry. But I'll listen to him again for sure. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Again, the intimacy. This is a super short story so the moments come and go quickly. But I absolutely loved the way the intimacy was conveyed both in the written and audio versions. Any additional comments? Tams e-book review from 2015 Evan Cleary has worked hard to start his own business as an Event Planner, scrimping and saving to build the business from the ground up. Now he fears it will take two jilted grooms about five minutes to tear it down. Evan thinks fast and with the assistance of one grooms grumpy brother and check writing momma, Evan pulls off a fantastic Christmas party in place of the wedding and impresses everyone in the room. Including Mr. Grumpy. Richard Patterson labels Evan as flamboyant and femme from the start and puts a lid on his attraction to the cute Wedding Planner. Alcohol, atmosphere and an adorably frustrated Evan causes Richard to re-think that decision. The two share a heated kiss, but then Richard opens his big, fat mouth which riles Evan's fur. Thankfully, Richard is a pretty smart guy, he makes Evan an offer that is hard to refuse. One night, no strings, just sex. Short and sexy... this was just a fast, funny read. The chemistry between Evan and Richard wasn't evident at first, it took a few pages to get a feel for them overall. I thought Richards aversion to flamboyant, femme men then falling hard for one was a nice twist. Evan aggravated me toward the end though, the way he tried to blow Richard off, I didn't think it fit in the story the way it had been written up to that point.

Life on the assembly line is almost as predictable as her love life. When it comes to matters of the heart, Friday always seems to be making the wrong choices. Things go from bad to worse when El, a sultry labor organizer from the UAW, sweeps into town to unionize the plant right after it's been bought out by a Japanese firm. Sparks fly on and off the line as Jill and El fight their growing attraction for each other against a backdrop of monster trucks, catfish dinners, Pork Day USA, and a bar called Hoosier Daddy. Members Reviews: A Laugh Out Loud Joy Ride I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Hoosier Daddy" when it first came out as a paperback. I wondered if an audio version would be like a movie based on a book which is rarely as good as the book. The answer is that the audio version of "Hoosier Daddy" is every bit as good as the book. Christine Williams brought the characters to life in her excellent narration of the story. It truly is a laugh-out-loud fun experience to listen to this book. I highly recommend the audio version of "Hoosier Daddy." Surprised at how good it is Any additional comments? This book was terrific because the characters had depth and the humor was great. I also learned a bit about Indiana. I frequently finding myself wishing editors would take more time or pay more attention when I read lesbian fiction. This book was well written. The characters were consistent and had multi-dimensional personalities. It was much better than most of it's genre - enjoy! One of the best audiobooks Ann McMan and Salem West hit this one out of the park. Solid writing with obvious research done around the subject, extremely engaging story, and more of McMan's signature characters combine here to make this a must listen. I want to go back and listen to the whole thing again! Jericho was masterful, and Aftermath was great fun, but this may have outdone them. Sit back and enjoy. Christine Williams again brings perfect narration to every voice. Friends As always Ann can tell his story some parts are very funny. If you have a chance to listen to all of her audiobooks you will not be disappointed. One of my favourite books ever If you could sum up Hoosier Daddy in three words, what would they be? Hilarious Warm Quirky Who was your favorite character and why? El is brilliant, beautiful, and dedicated to her job, but is also a sweetheart with champion A++ banter and flirting skills. Its no wonder Friday cant stay away from her, even while theyre both mindful of their places on either side of the union/management lines. Which character as performed by Christine Williams was your favorite? Probably still El. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, definitely. Any additional comments? Hoosier Daddy is funny, but in a way that is smart and quirky, and I found myself constantly grinning or laughing. The locals in the story arent very educated and they are very peculiar, but it never makes a mockery of them.

Title: Stealing the Wind Subtitle: Mermen of Ea, Book 1 Author: Shira Anthony Narrator: Michael Stellman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 05-21-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 109 votes Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian Publisher's Summary: Taren Laxley has never known anything but life as a slave. When a lusty pirate kidnaps him and holds him prisoner on his ship, Taren embraces the chance to realize his dream of a seagoing life. Not only does the pirate captain offer him freedom in exchange for three years of labor and sexual servitude, but the pleasures Taren finds when he joins the captain and first mate in bed far surpass his greatest fantasies. Then, during a storm, Taren dives overboard to save another sailor and is lost at sea. He's rescued by Ian Dunaidh, the enigmatic and seemingly ageless captain of a rival ship, the Phantom, and Taren feels an overwhelming attraction to Ian that Ian appears to share. Soon Taren learns a secret that will change his life forever: Ian and his people are Ea, shape-shifting merfolk...and Taren is one of them, too. Bound to each other by a fierce passion neither can explain or deny, Taren and Ian are soon embroiled in a war and forced to fight for a future - not only for themselves but for all their kind. Members Reviews: Started out as if it would be M/M/M PWP... Any additional comments? Started out as if it would be M/M/M PWP, then morphed into what I was expecting from the (very pretty) cover art as the story progressed. When I bought this, I was expecting an epic fantasy romance with Mermen (just look at that cover!). Id never read anything by Shira Anthony, and I was a bit thrown when, during the early chapters, it seemed like the story was heading into slave-fic, menage, territory. Hang on, I thought, wasn't this supposed to be more fantasy and less... erotica? I actually started getting discouraged, but the story changed direction once Taren is separated from Rider and Bastian, and meets Ian. From there it was more what I hoped it would be. Fantasy, romance, and some action. So, if you were actually looking for M/M/M PWP involving the ships captain, quartermaster and their newly acquired slave, then youll be disappointed because the the story doesnt revolve around that relationship even though you do get a few explicit scenes in the beginning. Overall I liked the characters, their dynamic, and how mermen were portrayed. This isnt my first experience with Michael Stellmans narration, and as expected, I enjoyed the way he read the story. Hes not the kind of narrator who uses a wide range of character voices and lots of flashy stuff, but I totally have a voice-crush on him (is that a thing? Should be a thing). His voice just sounds so pleasant to me. No issues with pace and enunciation, either. Ive already gotten the next book in the series. It Gets better Would you try another book from Shira Anthony and/or Michael Stellman? yes Was Stealing the Wind worth the listening time? Yes, the story gets better as it goes! Any additional comments? The book starts as overly simplistic m/m fantasy erotica, but by the end it acquires a plot and evolves into a fairly unique & interesting world. Parts of the story are only worth 2 stars & others 5; I settled on 3 because the transitions are clunky & even the best parts are somewhat predictable. However the book is well narrated and has a lot of potential.

So why does she feel like a prisoner in the Temple? When Lynn learns she is to be relocated to the temple at Landfall, the arduous journey seems more like a gift - her last chance to see something of the outside world. She does not anticipate the dangers and temptations she will encounter along the way, nor does she expect Lieutenant Kim Ramon, an officer in the squadron of Rangers assigned to protect her. Despite all prohibitions forbidding it, attraction grows between the two women. Against them stand the powerful religious Sisterhood and their holy warriors - the Temple Guards. In a world ruled by the Church, what chance is there that Lynn can escape? Members Reviews: love it! i was so happy when i saw this here! i can't wait till the rest are recorded too! One of my favorite series... I can't believe they put one of my favorite books on audio. I love this series and hope all the books are put on audio. I've read each book numerous times, except The Shadow of the Knife which I just can't get into. I like the characters, the plot of each story and the overall story of the series. While I love this book it's not my favorite in the series. The series revolves around a planet that was colonized by people that fled the earth. Years have past, history lost and new beliefs have arisen. Its an all female and very religious society (how this happened is explained in the appendix). While there is romance in the story, I wouldn't say that's the main focus. The story focuses on the life of each of the two women. It furthers deals a lot with the planet's society, their beliefs and a rebel faction that has developed. The narrator can make or break a book, I discovered this with the poor narration of Protector of the Realm by Gunn Brooke. The narrator had a pleasant voice, clear and easy to understand. The recording does overlap in areas, which needs to be fixed, but didn't occur so much it took away from the story. errors with recording great story but problems with recording. audible looking into it to see if they can fix the overlaying the audio in some places. one of my faves and was excited to see the audio version. loved the narrator as well. did a great job except for the technical stuff narration was good, story is great. audio editing was awful. awkward pauses. overlapping audio. change in volume at random times. made a great book hard to listen to. OMG Love her books and the audio book was superb. Can't wait for more to come out in audio form.
