Charlie Adhara’s paranormal/romantic suspense Big Bad Wolf series is one of my all-time favorites. With clever plotting, excellent world building, fantastic characterization and a beautifully developed central relationship, those books had it all, and were always going to be a tough act to follow. I was delighted when I learned the author would be writing…
Narrated by Nick J. Russo Nicky James kicks off a new romantic suspense/mystery series with Temporary Partner, a tightly-plotted mystery that will keep you guessing until the last minute coupled with a fantastic will-they/won’t-they partnership between two detectives from rival divisions of the Toronto PD. In the prequel novella (not available in audio) Department Rivals,…
Narrated by Gary Furlong The Bruise-Black Sky Following on from being stranded in Siberia and family betrayal (The Bridge of Silver Wings), and the undercover and amnesia storylines of This Other Country, the plot of this fifth More Heat Than the Sun book is a bit tame by comparison. As always, the real meat of…
I’ve said before that Layla Reyne’s books can be hit or miss for me, so I was pleased to find that Dead Draw, the first book in her new Perfect Play series, was mostly a hit. It’s fast paced, with plenty of action and a steamy central romance, and although loosely tied to the Fog…
Narrated by Roger Wayne I’ve listened to and reviewed the four full-length books in Rebecca Zanetti’s Deep Ops romantic suspense series, and I’d been hoping the former MI6 operator, Jethro Hanson (who first appeared in book three, Broken) would get a book of his own. The overarching plotline of the series – the hunt for…
Detectives Quaid Valor and Aslan Doyle return in this second book in Nicky James’ latest series of romantic suspense novels, this time teaming up to investigate a homicide that hits very close to home for Quaid. Elusive Relations is every bit as compelling a read as Temporary Partner, with a cleverly constructed, twisty plot and…
It feels so unnatural to say I found the latest Julie Garwood novel to be just meh… three-stars on a scale of five, just okay … because Julie Garwood is the author who solidified my love of the whole romance genre. But the latest installment of her Buchanan-Renard series, Grace Under Fire, just didn’t have…
N.R. Walker’s The Kite is a fast-paced action flick in book form in which the world’s two deadliest assassins find themselves forced to work together when they discover they’ve been marked for death themselves. I admit, I was expecting the romance in this one to be a tough sell – these are two lone wolves…
Narrated by Eric G. Dove Toni Anderson adds another ‘arm’ to her long-running Cold Justice series with Cold Silence, book one in her her new Cold Justice: Most Wanted, series which features the field agents of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team. In this story, the HRT is part of a large task force hunting a…
The first two books in the Hot Cannoils series (Hot Seat and Hot Wings) were co-authored by Eli Easton and Tara Lain, but circumstances have led to the authors writing the next two books individually, so Eli Easton is flying solo for this third book in the series. Hot Pursuit is a fast-paced and entertaining…
