Narrated by Annie Greene I haven’t read all of the books in the author’s Lucky Harbor series but have enjoyed those I have read. But while I completely enjoyed the narration in this latest entry, the story, while cute in parts, has a few too many flaws for me to recommend. I thought I was…
His By Christmas was the first Christmas book to make its way to me this holiday season, and I’ve decided to take that as a good omen. Each December I have fun immersing myself in all things Christmas-y, including romance novels. Sometimes this means I spend a month reading cutesy books where everything from the…
I love books that capture the imagination and send it soaring. This gem of a young adult novel combines science fiction, romance and the questions of right and might to create a unique and intriguing story. Tarver Merendsen is anxious to escape the party on board the luxury spaceliner Icarus but knows that as a…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton It’s finally here. I’ve been talking about The Shadow and the Star since I first discovered Laura Kinsale’s plans to release her books in audio format. In case you haven’t heard (which is doubtful if you hang around AudioGals), this is my favorite Kinsale book, so much so, that it also…
Narrated by Renee Chambliss Into the Deep kicks off Samantha Young’s latest series, Into the Deep. True to the New Adult genre, the story is filled with hot young characters, snarky humor, and of course, angst. While Into the Deep does end with the hero and heroine together, their story is supposed to conclude in the…
Narrated by Julia Motyka If a little bit of everything rolled up into a book is something that makes your skirt fly up, then you’ll enjoy Forever His. The Stolen Brides series takes a little bit of historical romance, contemporary romance, and science fiction, puts them all in the pot, and gives it a good…
Narrated by Lucy Rayner I know a lot of people who have raved about Susanna Kearsley’s writing but, for some reason, I never picked up one of her books. When I ran across Brilliance Audio’s production of The Firebird, I decided to grab it and give it a listen. I’m definitely glad I did. Nicola…
Narrated by Lucy Rivers Drawn Together is book 6 in Lauren Dane’s Brown Siblings series. I loved the first two series’ entries in particular but the later books have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Raven Smith, the heroine of Drawn Together, has been a problematic character in the series and I was interested to see…
This was a truly wonderful story of revenge and redemption, the darkest of the three books that have as yet appeared in this series. In Temple, Ms MacLean has created possibly her most engaging, heart-breakingly gorgeous hero so far, which is really saying something given how much I adored Cross in the previous book! But…
I have little patience for characters who needlessly deceive others. I understand that there are sometimes “extenuating circumstances,” and I’ll generally move past the deception if the excuses are good enough. However, Ashton Louis Wallace III’s excuses for lying to the people of Bayberry Island were definitely sub-par, and they kept me from enjoying Sea…
