When it comes right down to it, sequels are hit or miss. When the author does a fantastic job of setting up an alternate history in book one, as Beth Cato does in Breath of Earth, it’s a really hard act to follow. In the end, Call of Fire is a good follow up, but…
Narrated by Anne Gray Book One in Marie Harte’s McCauley Brothers series, The Troublemaker Next Door is Flynn McCauley’s story. The McCauley brothers are: widowed Mike (who has a five-year-old son, Colin), Cameron and Flynn, as well as the informally adopted Brody Singer. Mike McCauley lives next door to the house the family grew up…
First things first: this is not a stand-alone book. If you have any interest in this soap opera of a Kentucky bourbon dynasty, then you must start at the beginning, The Bourbon Kings. And if you’ve been missing Young and the Restless or are a lover of Coronation Street, lawd alive, I’d recommend this series….
There are plenty of books out there that will tell you a predictable story in a predictable way, but Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker is something altogether different. It’s the kind of book you’ll want to devour in one sitting, so compelling is the story, and it’s one you’ll be thinking about long…
Narrated by Angela Goethals and Zachary Webber Broken Prince is the second book in the young/new adult trilogy, The Royals. I have to admit that I enjoyed book 1, Twisted Palace, hopefully more riveting and likely different from the first two books. Fortunately, the narration was solid, which generally enhances the experience – that makes…
I enjoy romantic suspense, and this creepy tale immediately caught my attention because of its setting. The action in Suzanne Matthews’ No Good Deed unfolds in Canada during a freak snowstorm, and the author makes good use of her setting and the nightmarish weather to keep readers wondering if the mystery will be solved – or…
Spectred Isle – a title playing on words from Shakespeare’s Richard II – is the first book in a new series based around the natural magic of the English Green Man myth and it’s written by K.J. Charles. Do I need to say more? Okay, that was a rhetorical question. In short, it’s a fantastic…
WARNING: This book contains a main character with severe OCD who self-harms. If you find this subject matter triggering – even though the author handles it with tact – then this might not be a comfortable read for you. Proceed with caution. Everyone loves those Winston boys. And who can blame them? They’re funny, sexy,…
Narrated by Charlotte Gray I’ve read and enjoyed a number of Madeline Hunter’s books and I count myself among her fans, but given she’s one of the biggest names in historical romance, she’s being very poorly served when it comes to audio. Her last series, the Wicked trilogy, started out well, with His Wicked Reputation…
Chasing Down a Dream is the eighth book in the popular Blessings series set in Henry Adams, Kansas, a fictional town representing the townships founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. In the first novel, Bring on the Blessings, Henry Adams had fallen onto such hard times that the town leaders decided to sell it on eBay. The series…
