Reading this book took me forever. As in, I’d read a few pages and stop due to fear that the sheer mind-numbing nature of the content would cause my brain cells to die a horrible agonizing death, much like the hero’s first wife. I’m afraid this is the old “widower suspected of wife’s murder but…
The world of Olympic athletes is so foreign to most of us that this little peek inside helps flesh out this interesting novella. When competitive swimmer Tomas’ regular masseuse is unavailable, her partner Darren fills in for her. The reclusive Tomas remembers talking to Darren at the sports medicine open house and the jealousy in…
New adult is an area I find hard to describe. Young adult novels cover coming of age stories, mostly in and around high school, sometimes early in college, where the main character is the same age as the target audience. New adult seems to cover the same basic idea, but the characters are graduating high…
Narrated by Nicholas Rowe Unabridged The works of Georgette Heyer are a little bit of an acquired taste. She’s considered the creator of the modern Regency romance genre, being an incredibly prolific author whose works were written between 1921 and 1972. (Not to be confused with Jane Austen who wrote novels during the Regency period,…
Narrated by Christine Lakin I saw a bit of buzz about The Coldest Girl in Coldtown – I tend to be a bit more adventurous in my audiobook listening than in my reading. For some reason, a low or no romance book can satisfy in this format whereas I’m unlikely to pick it up in print….
The Heart of a Duke is Victoria Morgan’s second novel, following her superb début in 2012 with For the Love of a Soldier which I enjoyed very much and raved about to anyone who would listen! The Heart of a Duke is not related to the previous book and has a different feel overall, being…
Do you like a bit of adventure with your romance? I tend to enjoy Anna Randol’s writing because of the adventure plots she mixes into her stories, and Sins of a Wicked Princess definitely does not disappoint. With likable characters and a page-turning narrative, this book easily won me over. Those who have read the…
Narrated by Claudia Harris Having reached the conclusion earlier this year that I was never going to get around to actually reading the Maiden Lane series, I decided to listen to the books instead, which proved, on the whole, to have been a good decision. I thoroughly enjoyed books 1-4 and, I think like many…
Narrated by Donna Postel I was eager to begin Happy Any Day Now as a change of pace from my usual historical romance. This contemporary meaning-of-life-and-romance book is refreshingly human and real, and has all the right amounts of happy, embarrassing, sad, and triumphant. I had not read the author or heard narrator Donna Postel before…
Narrated by Charlotte Penfield After reading Sophie Jordan’s Foreplay, I was pretty sure I was done with the New Adult genre. Still, I decided to try a few others and realized they aren’t all bad. In fact, some are quite engaging. With that in mind, I agreed to review Real, a seriously popular New Adult…
