This was my first Nyssa Kathryn book but it won’t be the last. She has a way of giving us everything we love about a small town romance while at the same time giving us that suspense that we so often crave. I cannot wait to see what happens with the rest of the Walker brothers and those in Misty Peak.

In Reckless Hope we are told the beautiful love story of Cody and Harper. I will say right off that the nickname that Cody gives to her may be one of the best I have heard in a long time. The first time Cody and Harper meet is during a rainstorm so he takes to calling her Storm and I loved it.

Harper is running from an abusive family with no money and no idea where to go. She stops for the night in Misty Peak and with one look at her the protectiveness pores out of Cody. He offers her a job and from there the friendship and attraction grows. There are things that continue to happen to Harper that will keep you guessing as to who is behind it.

The audiobook is performed in duet by Jason Clarke and Avery Caris. As with everything these two do, it was amazing. Jason always performs these protective, good hearted male characters with such ease and believability. I love Avery in roles where the female character is strong and determined, yet vulnerable. She is able to portray the strength and vulnerability seamlessly. Amazing job and always love to listen to anything with either of these voice actors.

Produced by Blue Nose Audio and as always they have given us an outstanding production.

This is the second book in the Reckless series and Nyssa did not disappoint with this one. We met Kayden Walker and Tilly Taylor in Reckless Hope and get their story with this one.

Matilda “Tilly” Taylor grew up in Misty Peak but left with her mother after her father ran off when he stole from most of those in town. Five years later, after the death of her mother, she finds herself back in Misty Peak, trying to find make her way in a town that now despises her.

Kayden Walker is a man that does not trust, he doesn’t let anyone close, fearing that he will lose another person that he cares about. He is closed off and has very strong feelings about Tilly when she rolls back into town.

Working together allows Kayden to start seeing a different side to Tilly, realizing she is not to blame for the actions of her father. Once he realizes how horrible everyone in town is treating her his protective instincts take over and it is only a matter of time until he starts to have feelings for her.

This small town romance is filled with sweet and swoony moments but there is also an underlying mystery that isn’t solved until the very end.

Avery and Jason did another remarkable job. Their performances were perfect as always.

Another stellar production by Blue Nose Audio. I know with each audiobook I will have a top tier listening experience.

Worth The Shots by Heather M. Orgeron
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Performance: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Holy mother of all things hot! This story… this audio… From the very first chapter I was hooked and proceeded to devour it like a piece of pie at Thanksgiving.

In the very first chapter, Heather set the tone for what to expect throughout the story. She gave us heart wrenching moments, flirty banter and enough heat to make my bp alert go off on my watch. And this was just the FIRST CHAPTER!

Aiden Addams embodies everything you want in a bad boy rockstar. This playboy piano player oozes sexiness with every word he speaks. He meets Veronica on the night his heart has been broken and unbeknownst to him the events of that night will change his life for ever. Veronica Vanderbilt is everything pure and sweet in this world and decides she needs some “lessons” on how to please a man. Aiden is just the man for the job and oh does he take his job as teacher seriously.

Avery Caris is Veronica “Ronnie” Vanderbilt, aka Cherry Girl, and her performance is next level spectacular. Her portrayal of Ronnie’s innocence and desire is pure perfection. Avery has quickly become one of my favorite female voice actors and this audio performance is further proof why she is one of the masters in her craft.

Joe Arden is Aiden Addams, aka Sugar Balls, and holy hell his voice was made for a character like Aiden. Well, who am I kidding, his voice is made for any character. With his performance as Aiden he delivers the emotional scenes in a way that will leave you in tears, and the rest of it…. Well his voice was smoother than the whiskey that Aiden loves to drink.

Joe and Avery are one of my favorite duos and they did not disappoint with this one. Five star performances all around!

Jenni gives us the story of Dylan and Cortney. Dylan is a free spirit that believes the universe has a plan she just didn’t realize it’s plan was for her to have a life altering change after meeting Cortney. Cortney “Man Bun” is the gorgeous catcher for the Boston Revs. After he goes to her house to try and find his “lucky” socks he finds himself taking her to his place for a drink and “friendly” game of pool. Soon, Dylan learns that she walked away the next morning with more than just a smile on her face.

Cortney moves into the brownstone with Dylan, her best friends, Beckett “Bossman” Langfield, seven kids and a pregnant raccoon. He falls hard and fast for his firefly but it isn’t just Dylan that he needs to convince that he loves her and will always be there, he must also convince Liam, her teenage son. Slowly over time, Cortney proves himself to him through his actions of love towards him and his mom.

This book has everything that you never knew you needed. There is laughter, a few tears (but I am a crier at anything swoony), friendship, love, family, did I say laughter, oh and did I forget to mention the spice… and lots of cherry jolly ranchers and cherry Slurpees.

I loved everything about this book. The female friendships, the funny banter, the adorably cute and sometimes scary kiddos, the heart melting men and the love.

The audio is performed in perfect duet by Maxine Mitchell and Teddy Hamilton. Maxine, as always, was amazing. Navigating between all of the female characters with such ease and utter perfection. Teddy was the absolute perfect choice as Cortney. My favorite scene was when he was speaking to her stomach, it had me in tears.

Blue Nose Audio has once again given us a flawlessly produced audiobook. They give us, the romance listener, next level listening experiences.

You do not want to miss out on this book or this series. Trust me…. This is a must read!

This is a must listen!!! Absolute perfection.

I read this book back in January and fell in love with Liv, Beckett and all of the mom coms family, but hearing this story come to life was beyond spectacular.

Maxine and Joe really outdid themselves with this one. When these two come together you know you are going to have an unforgettable listening experience, but this one… this was pure magic. All of the little details… the sighs, the whispers, the moans, the growls, the muffled pillow sounds! There is no other word to use except for magic.

Brittanee gives us everything in this book… love, friendship, family, spice, laughs, many swoon moments, oh and did I mention laughs. When I say I was crying at times from laughing so hard… I was crying! And Maxine and Joe delivered every word with such ease. The way they flow seamlessly through each of the different characters voices was flawless. And let’s not forget, on top of the many adult character voices
they had to perform there were seven child voices that they had to navigate and no one does kid voices better than Joe and Maxine.

If you haven’t already got this in your audio library, go… get it now. You won’t be sorry!

Mother Faker by Brittanee Nicole is the first of four books in the new Mom Coms Series.

Performed in duet by Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden.

Produced by Blue Nose Audio who knocked it out with this one.

Everyone has that one book that changes them. This was that book for me. This was the story I never knew I needed, healing parts I didn’t realize were still broken.

Jescie has once again taken us on a ride of emotions. One moment I was sobbing and the next I was laughing (we still got the fun loving Kid that we fell in love with in Hawke) and then I was sobbing again. There is such depth in each character that she writes and the way she puts you into the story with her ability to depict each scene with minute, descriptive details is like none other.

This was a story of pain, of addiction, of love, of friendship…it was a story of life. Life can be beautiful, but sometimes you have to go through the ugliness to find the beauty. Sometimes you have to feel there is no hope before you can find hope. Jescie gave us all of this through Kai and Han. She allowed us to see that even in the darkest of times there is still light and love.

Joe and CJ… Well there aren’t really enough words to explain the impact of their performance. This was not narration…they are not narrators, they are actors…this was a performance. They brought Kai and Han to life to the point where I could see everything. The smirks on faces, the intimate moments, the tears flowing down cheeks, I saw it all. They delivered a powerful performance that will forever leave an impact.

This was my first book by Elle Maldonado but it will not be the last. She delivered everything my mafia, morally grey loving heart desires. And Elle can write the spice! Whew, when it hits…it hits!

Derek Cain… insert swoon here… This man! Everything about this man is hard…his heart, his muscles, his…. He is fueled by his desire for revenge on a father he never knew, that is until he meets the Eva, the object of his revenge. Then, he is only fueled by his desire for her. Derek doesn’t only claim that he would burn down the world or k!ll anyone that hurts Eva, he does and does it with a smile on his handsome face.

Eva is a strong, capable woman with a sense of duty and family. Unfortunately, even the most seasoned detective can be blind to the darker side of those she loves the most. She gives her heart to Derek to only have it shattered with the discovery of his hidden secrets. Will he be able to win her back? You will have to listen to find out.

Janine Granda and Bryant Walker were wonderful in their performances as Eva and Derek. They were able to portray the love and desire with perfect accuracy. I can’t wait to listen to more from both of these top tier voice actors.

This is a must listen! I read the book back in December but listening added an entirely new dimension to the story of Roman and Abby.

Grayson and CJ were absolutely phenomenal. And can we just take a moment to talk about how they both slayed the Russian accent??? Perfection!!! They were the perfect fit to bring Roman and Abby to life.

Charly and Nicole gave me everything I want in a mafia romance. They gave us the possessive, touch her and you d!e MMC that we crave while also giving us an ultimate bada$$ FMC. I would also like to acknowledge that they brought together my favorite new bromance, the dynamic duo of Pasha and Wesley.

I will be sitting here, impatiently waiting for the next look into the Antonov family.

Last month I decided to read Little Stranger when I found out it was going to come out in audio. If I am being honest, I wasn’t sure this story would be for me because of someone of the trigger warnings. I am so glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone and gave this story a chance.

Leigh Rivers has given us a chilling, sometimes creepy, beautiful, raw, emotion packed story of love and acceptance. Love doesn’t always come in a neat package with a pretty bow. At times it is pain, it is dark, and it can seem forbidden.

While this is a story of foster siblings, their relationship has always transcended that dynamic, being one of deep love and connection.

Heather Firth’s and Joe Arden’s performances as Olivia and Malachi exceeded any and all expectations I had going into this audio. They brought this story to life in a way I didn’t know was possible. When you hear, “the audio for that book just hit differently”, there is no truer statement for this one.

Heather was able to portray the innocence and sexuality of Olivia with seamless perfection. You could feel Olivia’s internal struggle not to go against her parents, not to go against what is deemed “normal”, and her struggle to accept the feelings and love she held for Malachi.

With my last few audio reviews I feel like a broken record with saying, “This is Joe’s best performance to date.” Well, I am going to say it again! Joe’s performance as Malachi was transformative. I heard Malachi in full color. I saw his anger and rage, I could see him signing. It was like nothing I have ever experienced in an audiobook. At first I thought, how is Joe going to be able to portray someone signing? Joe said, Hold My F*cking Mic!!! He gave voice to Malachi in a way that no one else could have. Giving us understanding for a character that in my opinion just wanted to feel love, to have love.

Performed, not narrated, performed by Heather Firth and Joe Arden.

Produced by Blue Nose Audio who embraces the difficult stories and delivers them with flawless perfection.

All stories deserve to be heard, even if they aren’t for everyone.

Janine Granda and Sebastian York are hot, Hot, HOT in their performances as Lake and Ford.
