Narrated by Cristina Panfilio I’m a big fan of marriage of convenience books, even in a modern setting (as long as the author can give me a halfway believable reason for it). When I read the blurb for Suddenly Engaged, I thought that’s what I was getting. As it happened, I was wrong. BUT what…
Narrated by Daniel Philpott Anthony Capella’s The Wedding Officer is an enjoyable and engrossing tale set in wartime Italy, which is told through the eyes of a fish-out-of-water young British officer and the fiery Italian widow with whom he falls in love. Naples in 1944 is now occupied by the allies, and things aren’t all…
Narrated by Carolyn Morris I admit that I picked up You May Kiss the Bride for review solely because of Carolyn Morris. Reviews for this début historical romance, the first in Lisa Berne’s Penhallow Dynasty series have been mixed, but I knew I’d at the very least enjoy the narration, so I decided it give…
Narrated by Abby Craden Trigger warning: sexual assault/domestic abuse (not by hero) Ride Rough is the second book in Laura Kaye’s Raven Riders series but it can easily be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. Alexa Harmon is in an abusive relationship. She’s just beginning to realise that Grant Slater, her fiancé and the man she…
Narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell If you ever wondered how Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City would have fared in Alaska, then look no further, Sex in the Sticks will definitely fulfill this itch. This romantic comedy had me smiling throughout many of its scenes and the heat level was beyond a…
Narrated by Steve West I’ll confess straight off that I’m not what I’d call a Sherlock Holmes “aficionado”. I’ve read some of the books and stories, and have enjoyed his various celluloid iterations, from Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing to Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch, and Sherry Thomas’ re-imagining of Sherlock as Charlotte in A…
Narrated by Anne Gray Book One in Marie Harte’s McCauley Brothers series, The Troublemaker Next Door is Flynn McCauley’s story. The McCauley brothers are: widowed Mike (who has a five-year-old son, Colin), Cameron and Flynn, as well as the informally adopted Brody Singer. Mike McCauley lives next door to the house the family grew up…
Narrated by Angela Goethals and Zachary Webber Broken Prince is the second book in the young/new adult trilogy, The Royals. I have to admit that I enjoyed book 1, Twisted Palace, hopefully more riveting and likely different from the first two books. Fortunately, the narration was solid, which generally enhances the experience – that makes…
Narrated by Charlotte Gray I’ve read and enjoyed a number of Madeline Hunter’s books and I count myself among her fans, but given she’s one of the biggest names in historical romance, she’s being very poorly served when it comes to audio. Her last series, the Wicked trilogy, started out well, with His Wicked Reputation…
Narrated by Mark Meadows Dear Dreamscape Media, THANK YOU! So often have I seen a favourite and/or long awaited book come out in audio only to have my heart sink when I see the name of the narrator, or for me to start listening with high hopes – only to have them dashed within minutes…
