Narrated by Mary Jane Wells Although I enjoy the occasional time travel novel, I chose to review Must Love Breeches on the strength of the narrator, who has become a favorite for narrating historical romance here at AudioGals. An American in contemporary London, Isabelle Rochon is attending a historical reenactment ball when she is whisked…
Pamela Clare’s Barely Breathing is the first novel in her new series Colorado High Country. As the highly successful author of the I-Team romantic suspense novels, she’s become synonymous with high octane, action packed, sexy stories. This book takes a step back from all that action, but delivers an equally dramatic second chance romance between…
I expected to give this book a much better grade. I loved Ms. Kubica’s Good Girl and found her book Pretty Baby interesting, memorable and thought provoking. This novel, though, is a mish-mash of stupid people being shocked – shocked I tell you! – when their asinine decisions lead to bad results. No! Say it…
I have on my bookshelves a number of anthologies that I keep for just one of the stories in the book. Kissing Santa Claus is now the newest addition to that pile. Bah, Handsome! by Jill Shalvis is a marked improvement, and is easily the best story of the book. Hope O’Brien has a bit…
Return of the Runaway is a book which I wanted to enjoy far more than I effectively did. For one thing, last year’s A Lady for Lord Randall by the same author was both unusual and utterly gripping, and I couldn’t wait to read more by her. For another thing, Sarah Mallory has the courage…
Risk Aware is part of the Saugatuck Summer world, but is a totally standalone novel. This is a very readable romance, which considering the subject matter, is not overly heavy on the angst. A contemporary m/m romance with some very well thought out and imaginative BDSM elements, the title refers to the kink world’s mantra…
Narrated by Kasha Kensington I confess I started Major Misconduct in digital format a while back but put it down after the first couple of chapters. I just couldn’t get into it. I was hoping that the audio experience would be different. It was. Lovey Armstrong has just arrived (uninvited and unexpected) in Chicago from…
Narrated by Gabrielle Baker Recently I came across a review for a book by Grace Draven called Eidolon. The review was so effusive in its praise for the book, I immediately wanted to read it. But it came with a qualifier: to enjoy this, the second book, you must have read the first in the…
This is the fifth book in the Darkest London series, and picks up the story of Holly Evernight and Will Thorne that began in the previous book, Shadowdance, when Holly, who works for the SOS (Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals) as a kind of Q was forced by a crazed demon to perform a…
Although I am in real life quite afraid of the sea and prefer to stay out of it, I think the best part of Beneath the Waves is the setting. We spend a lot of time in the water, on a boat, on an oil rig, in a city on the bottom of the sea,…
