A mix of emotions

Revisado: 08-09-20

Audiobook: I think what made me enjoy this is mostly due to the narrator Michael Ferraiuolo. This was my first listen that Mr. Ferraiuolo performed. All of the voice characters were very different and easy to distinguish. I particularly enjoyed both Leland and Jackson voices. I’ll definitely check out other narration soon.

Book: Alice Winters is a new to me author recommended that I decided to try. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s was recommend as funny. And it was but there’s a lot more going on with Jackson and Leland than just humor. At times it was heartbreaking, sad and painful. There was at lot of angst and of course action because hello hitman! But the humorous parts balanced a lot of that to keep it from being too dark. I would recommend checking this out. I’m looking forward to the second book.

Definitely worth it!

Narrator: Nikola Muckajev is a voice that’s new to me. I think his voice was great for the characters. I really enjoyed listening to the voices he provided for each of the characters, even the voice for Temperance, the voices were all distinct and the pitch and tone made for pleasant listening. I’m looking forward to listening to other books he has performed.

Story: Gay-for-you storylines are what I enjoy reading the the most. I find it really fascinating to see how the author shapes the character that emphatically states he’s not gay but desires the another man. This is the case with Wyatt, straight and a father and Vance who is gay. The story starts in the present but gives you glimpses of the shared back story of how the “relationship” of Wyatt and Vance began. There were quite a few tense and awkward moments between them and add in a teen definitely made it strained. There were also the supporting characters which contributed to make the story more interesting. I thought I would be lost in the story since this is the 10th book in the series and I haven’t read any others yet, but the focus was more on Vance and Wyatt so it was ok. I do definitely plan to check out the others. I would definitely recommended!

Who doesn’t love a cowboy?

Audiobook Narrator: Barney Parkwynne is a new to me narrator. I think he did a good job with all of the character voices. They were all distinctly different. The voice he performed for Allen I thought was perfect amount of country twang.

Story: Kyle is down on his luck when he happens on a post from a high school friend needing help on his ranch. Allen Jr. succeeded in talking his father into hiring ranch hand to assist him with chores. Luck has it that his high school crush, Kyle asked for the job. Allen Jr. Is deep in the closet but Kyle is not. The two of them dance around an attraction to each. Kyle’s advances towards Allen Jr., always in secret, confuses them both. There was a lot going on in this story. Kyle and Allen Jr. seemed like the oddest couple in the beginning. It was interesting to see how they would work out the relationship since Allen Jr. was in the closet and his father Allen Sr., seemed like he disapproving of hiring Kyle. The ending is rather surprising but not unpleasant.

Another sweet story!

Audiobook narration: I thought the narrator, Alexander Collins, did a good job of voicing the different characters. The pitch and tone of the characters were varied enough to distinguish them. However, at times the voices for Zach and Lucas sounded the same if they were talking to each other. Overall a satisfying performance.

Story: This is the second book in the Castle Harbor series. I enjoyed the story of Zach and Lucas much more than Jesse and Braden’s story. Both Zach and Lucas were more personally invested in what the resort would mean to each of their lives. Zach is the architect working for Blue Star, hired to design the new resort. He also has family he has to take care of so he really needs to succeed. Lucas owns and runs the local Bed & Breakfast, where Zach is staying, and Lucas is sure he will be put out of business when the resort is opened. At the same time, they are fighting an attraction to each other which both felt wasn’t going to go anywhere. The emotional struggle was more involved as each tried to find a common ground to move together towards something more meaningful but unable reach it. The details of each of their lives enriched the story and made the characters seem more complex and interesting. Definitely recommend checking this out!

Quite Enjoyable

Audiobook narration: Ryan Lee did a pretty good job of voicing the many characters. The pace of the narration was good. The pitch and tone of the voices he use for the characters was pleasant to my ears. There was a nice variance so the characters did not sound the same. Overall a good performance.

Story: I don’t know if you can refer to this as an “enemies to lovers” story but the was definitely some strong dislike going on. Jesse is an environmentalist extremely passionate about protecting the puffin sanctuary. Braden is a rich businessman developing a resort on land that happens to be right next to the sanctuary. There is some attraction when they first see each other. However, after they find out about who the other is the attraction seems to take a back seat but they ultimately can’t avoid it. I think the story was well thought out and while both characters are likable, I couldn’t help but root for Jesse. It’s a hot and sexy read with a surprising ending. Definitely recommend.

Sweet story

This audio book was given in exchange for an honest review.

Audiobook: This was my first listening to narrator Josh Cates. The narration and character voices weren’t bad. Josh’s pitch and tone use for each character were just enough to distinguish them from each other. However, there were times where he sounded a bit flat and monotone. Overall it was good.

Story: This was a cute couple story. The Noah is a social media butterfly and an Actor hoping to find that role that will make him a legitimate star. Logan is self employed running his own security business. A chance meeting at the local mall starts off “something” but each is not sure what. Add to that someone is pulling some public pranks on Noah which he decides he might need Logan’s security service if only to get closer to him. The attraction each has moves quickly even though Logan has reservations since he’s still hanging on to memories of a bad past relationship. Logan and Noah are both likable characters and the story reaches a satisfying ending. Nice and sweet.

Audiobook & Book Review

Revisado: 09-17-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The second story seemed just a little confusing. Needs just a little more direction.

If you’ve listened to books by H. J. Perry before, how does this one compare?

This is my first audiobook by H.J. Perry, but not my last

What does Tod Scott bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The English accented voices.

Was Our Secret Wedding: Our Secret Christmas worth the listening time?

Yes, I think it was well worth my time.

Any additional comments?

I received a credit from the author to purchase the audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I’m a big fan of audiobooks, so when H.J. Perry offered a credit in exchange for reviews of her new audiobooks I happily volunteered. H.J. Perry is a new to me author and I’m always looking to add to my list. Audible book review: The book was narrated by Tod Scott. By the sound of his voice, he’s English, which I thought was awesome (because I have a *thing* for accented voices). Not expecting that, it did take me by surprise but soon I settled in to listen. I thought Tod Scott did a great job with all the voices. All the characters were distinct to my ears. The pitch and tone were good. There were a few female voices characterized and they did not sound overly false or too high pitched. Mr. Scott has a great voice and I wouldn’t mind re-listening to this and listening to other audiobooks he’s narrated.Book Review: This audiobook contains two stories; Our Secret Wedding, the main story and Our Secret Christmas, which is a short novella. Our Secret Wedding is a friends to lovers story where you meet Lee, who is gay and Connor who is straight but has a slight attraction to men that he’s never acted on. Connor and Lee have been friends for a long time and Lee works at Connor’s family company. One night changes the dynamic between Connor and Lee which starts something between them. As their relationship moves from friends to lover there is a variety of thoughts, exchanges and actions that keep the story moving forward at a good pace. The “drama” near the end seemed a little anticlimactic but it still worked. Our Secret Christmas was just a little confusing. At times it seemed like a prequel to OSW rather than a continuation. They still were good reads and I enjoyed them enough that I will check out other books in the series.This review is also posted to Goodreads.
