Reed effortlessly slides from his gritty, brutal Raining Men to this nearly chaste look at true love, proving that he not only has depth as an author but also can span the width of the romance genre. Again he takes a fairly unlikeable character from a previous novel and turns her into someone to respect…
Narrated by James Langton I’ve listened to and read a couple of other books by Laura Landon and, although they weren’t dreadful, they weren’t anything to write home about either. I chose to listen to A Risk Worth Taking solely because I happen to like James Langton as a narrator. While he couldn’t transform what turned…
Narrated by Simon Vance When I’m looking for something to read, certain things really pull me in. Faerie by Delle Jacobs looked like a combination of three of my favorite things. It was set in Medieval England, involved faeries, and had a strong romantic plot. The fact that Simon Vance narrated it was an added…
For those who don’t know, the HarperCollins Austen Project is reimagining the Jane Austen novels under the auspices of “six bestselling contemporary authors”. (As opposed to, like, the thousands who do it on FanFiction or who aren’t bestselling contemporary authors.) First up is Joanna Trollope taking on the Dashwoods in modern Devon and London, and…
I liked this book, so it’s really unfortunate that I chose it not realizing it was the third title in a series. This was unfortunate because Rush could have been a great book if I hadn’t spent so much time confused and wishing I’d read the two preceding titles in the proper order. Five years…
Narrated by Amy McFadden Not Quite Enough is my first Catherine Bybee but it won’t be my last. I think I have found a new contemporary author to read/listen to. There were a few things I didn’t care for but both the story and the narration were very entertaining and I liked the characters very much….
Narrated by Corrie James I’m not a great reader of or listener to romances set in medieval Scotland and, in fact, I chose this audio because I enjoy listening to this particular narrator rather than on the strength of the story or setting. I don’t really know why such stories don’t appeal to me, although…
I love novels that combine a gentle magical surrealism with romance and lovable characters. And there is no doubt that Sarah Addison Allen is the star of writing a sweet, lyrical story that contains those essential elements. This time around she takes us to Lost Lake, GA – a quiet spot forgotten by time that…
Narrated by Tanya Eby I have mixed feelings about this audiobook, and had to think about my review – and grades – for several days after I finished listening. There’s a lot I don’t like about this time travel story, from the clichéd language in sex-scenes to the use of first-person present tense to some…
A Month of Romance Audio Favorites Selection Narrated by Steven Crossley There’s something extremely comforting about returning to a favorite book. Even though I know the plot, I feel like I’m revisiting old friends, laughing at old jokes, grieving long-remembered sorrows. Relistening to Judith Ivory’s The Proposition was just such an experience. Lady Edwina Bollash…
