Fun and funny whirlwind

Revisado: 05-28-22

Fast-paced, witty and full of humour this is a great quick read. Great, dynamic and colourful characters and a fun twist on a few wedding disasters. The narration is fantastic and elevates the story!!

Oh, my heart! Such an emotional next step for David & Aaron!

I'm loving this series! It's heartfelt, steamy and so much more! After being snowed in, Aaron and David are now in a relationship and as that progresses parts of their pasts come back to challenge them. I found many parts of this book emotional, powerful and sad. I loved how Mr. Freeley approached so very serious issues with such heart and care while challenging these characters to fight for want they want. I feel like the love and passion fly off the page and I enjoyed this book even more than book one! A truly passionate, heartfelt read!!

Thanks for reading!

A sweet and simmering snowed in romance!

An enjoyable short read/listen that will get your heart rate up. David and Aaron meet by chance and spark a connection neither of them was really looking for. Aaron is in a place where he’s not sure of his next steps and David is at a crossroads in life, fresh from serving his wife divorce papers. These two smart individuals come together and teach each other more than they thought possible. A really sexy hookup to more style of romance that has all the sweetness, and care I like in a story while a connection that's believable and in some ways relatable. I look forward to seeing what's next for Aaron and David.

Thanks for reading!

I love this series!!

I love the characters Lane has created and this one is another great one. It was hard to top the others in the series as books 2 and 3 are my all-time favs but this is still a great friends-with-benefits to love story.

As well all of the Out in Collage series, Lane manages to include the profound “coming out” moment but makes it realistic, real, and powerful every time and I loved this one. I think Nix and Max are perfect for each other and complement each other so well. I strongly disliked Max’s ex and his blatant manipulation and I was saddened that Phoenix just believed it. I also felt for Max when he comes out to his family. The “we already knew” happened to my BFF in real life and it’s hard because this is still a monumental moment for the individual regardless of whether you knew or not, so I felt for Max with his parents. I guess it all works out in the end LOL.

I’m loving these stories and every couple has a special place in my heart. A fantastic listen too!!

A Heartwarming Listen!!

A Heartwarming Listen!!

An amazing love story of friendship, trust, and acceptance! I loved it!!

This was my book narrated by Piers Ryman and I thought he did a great job. Each character had a different tone/dialect and with the creations of these subtle differences the story comes alive and I could imagine each character clearly as they navigate their way through the story. I look forward to more from Piers is the future! Well narrated!!

From the start the characters in this story where totally loveable. Colette's writing style flowed effortlessly between the three main characters, their varying points of view, thoughts, and emotions. You can't help but feel for these characters and while so different they all have a strong sense of love and friendship. 

This story follows life-long best friends; Seb, Matt and Connor and their surprising shift from friendship to lovers. I found this story believable and enjoyed each character's realization of their true feelings towards each other. I loved Seb's cheekiness, Matt's acceptance of his feelings and Connor's innocence. I loved the interactions between these characters as they come to terms while their new feelings and their progress into a new relationship. Together these men make a wonderful thruple and are hot as can be! I was enamored by these three and wish there was more of them! A truly wonderful work by Colette and I wished there was more of Matt, Seb, and Connor! I loved them!

Thanks for reading!

Heartwarming, sweet and humorous!

I loved Joe and Arthur. Heartwarming, sweet and humorous.

An interesting journey of remaking a lower class shoe shine into a noble gentleman. The connection sparks between Joe and Arthur and I love Arthur's lack of classism in this story. Their connection is so sweet, then hot, and caring. Very dynamic and surprisingly loved the historical setting.

Joe is so funny, with his sass and desire to learn, but his truth and dislike of being dishonest plays really well with Arthur and his feelings, as they change for the man Joe is and has become. I loved how Joe tries (and succeeds) to change his speech. He's a great character and I love watching him become refined but not losing his unique sass or big, honest heart. His desire for Arthur was sweet and hot. I loved the journey these two men take to become better people and eventually find their way back to each other. 

A great historical romance with heart and heat! I thoroughly enjoyed the journey!

Thanks for reading!

Just fantastic! I loved it!!

This story has the perfect balance of intrigue, magic, and mystery with great characters and a good bit of lust and adventure thrown in. I loved both Ailin and Sebastian and their chemistry flies off the page. They have a great love/lust/hate thing going on and the antics within this connection are hilarious!

Ailin is such a little spitfire and such a great character. I loved his sass and snark, humor and crypticness when it comes to what he can tell Sebastian. Sebastian, on the other hand, is a great detective, witty and just plain loveable! He’s thrown into an unusual partnership with Ailin to solve some mysterious murders. In doing so Sebastian is introduced to Ailin’s world and subsequently thrown into the path of a demon hell-bent on destruction and power.

Michelle has created an awesome world that I just want to drive into. I loved every aspect of this book and look forward to the other in this series.

The book ends on a BANG that leaves you begging for more. Wonderful work by Michelle and add in Kenneth’s narration and is just fantastic!! Kenneth elevated this book to the next level and with his compelling narration and different dialects and tones for each character is just adds to the mystery and mayhem!! I loved it!!!!

Thanks for reading!

Great narration and a fantastic start to the spinoff series!

Another winner from Susi and Crista! Loving their stories and all these awesome characters!! They always manage the perfect balance of thrill, emotions, steam, and humor, although this story has an already mated couple with a baby on the way as the focus so not as much knotting fun as their other stories.

I loved Dean! He's so caring and wonderful. He had such a big heart. I enjoyed the interactions he has with his mate Sam as well as the rest of the Alphabits Team. 

Honorable mention needs to go to Cyrus. A loveable, somewhat socially clueless bear shifter that you can't help but love!! I look forward to more stories with him in it and I really hope he'll find his mate too! He's a large lovable teddy bear LOL!

The narration on this was great! John had different dialects for each character and while these were subtle differences it was so easy to tell them apart. His voices were really well done and not overdone or annoying in the voice tones. I loved this narration and will differently be looking for more audiobooks narrated by John.

A journey of sexual discovery to love.

A journey of sexual discovery and love.

I really liked Lucy and Ryan and for such a short erotic novel there was a lot of depth to their characters. It is explicitly erotica and features group sex but I enjoyed the ‘secret’ society that is the Open Door Club. The sexual discovery for Lucy is very extensive and features MM interactions. As mentioned in my review of Xander, another of Anna’s Open Door Policy Novellas I felt this story laid the foundations for Xander and Liam’s story with Lucy’s insight and the interactions noted and played on through this novella.

Very erotic, steamy and sexy with a happily ever after for two best friends!!

An erotic Gay-for-You story of new discoveries.

I loved Xander and Liam. I started listening to Xander but felt there was a little more to the background between Xander and Liam so listened to Lucy first and I’d really recommend this, as it laid the foundation for Xander and Liam’s story, very much like a prologue would.

Xander and Liam are so hot together and I enjoyed their individual discoveries and approaches to their feelings and attraction to each other. I loved Liam’s kindness and care and his acceptance of his feelings for Xander. Xander on the other hand, I understand His ‘shock’ at being attracted to Liam and his unease with the feelings he’s developing but I didn’t like some of his actions. That being said I felt Anna did well to add a little more depth, character, and emotion to this second Open Door Policy Novella and it has a lot more complex emotions and character depth than Lucy’s story.

I loved the happy ending and with great narration, with different dialects for the characters, it just made it that much more enjoyable! A great erotic listen!
