Tortured hero meets best friend's sister

Revisado: 09-30-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Grayson Cole is a hero with PTSD that is tortured by his past. Drew Harris is the younger sister of Grayson's best friend and she wants to fix the broken people that surround her. She is compassionate and all she wants is Grayson. She can't figure out what is holding him back.

Make You Mine is a beautiful story, but the road to their HEA is a bumpy one. This book has a great representation of PTSD and the hero's struggles to overcome the flashbacks. Listening to the book in audio gives another layer of emotion to an already great story. Kirsten Leigh does a great job capturing the characters; I didn't personally connect with Lance Greenfield's performance of Grayson, but he does a good job overall.

Tia Louise knows how to craft an amazing story!

Strong heroine & alpha hero with a sensitive side!

Revisado: 02-14-24

I loved the characters in this book. Our hero, Dylan Hogan, has an alpha personality but with a sensitive side. Autumn, our heroine, is described best by Dylan "Sweetheart, you are a strong, brave, bad ass woman". I love books that include heroines that are strong and hold their own again their alpha counterparts. Being with Dylan throughout the book, you can see Autumn's confidence grow. And Dylan saving the kitten in the beginning - SWOON!

The chemistry between these 2 characters is on fire. The heat between them is undeniable.

Jo Raylan and Nelson Hobbs do a stellar job representing the characters in the book.

This debut book by Kaye Kennedy was difficult to put down - I quickly got wrapped-up in their story. The other side characters are entertaining and add to the story. All of the Hogan brothers have very different personalities and I can't wait to read each of their books.

I will end this with one of my favorite quotes from the book:

"I refused to live in fear of the end, but rather chose to live for every moment"

Steamy, steamy, and steamy

Revisado: 02-02-24

Is it possible to get a better cast then Samantha Brentmoor, Troy Duran, Jason Clarke, and Connor Crais?!? They are all on my favorite narrator list as they never disappoint. As usual, they give top-notch performances in Tangled in Tinsel.

If you are looking for an in-depth storyline, you need to look elsewhere. If you are looking for a sweaty, steamy, hot book that takes place around the holiday with one gal getting intense pleasure from 3 guys, then this is the book for you!

The saucy factor is amplified when listening in audio to the growly voices of our male narrators and the rasp of Samantha's voice.

Small Town Romance

Revisado: 02-02-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Claire Kingsley's Jetty Beach series is the perfect palette cleanser. No-to-low angst, steamy, and a small-town setting! Add in audio performances by Samantha Brentmoor and Jacob Morgan - fabulous! You can't go wrong with Brentmoor and Morgan - they both give flawless performances every time. Jacob Morgan's deep timbre during the steamier scenes could've melted my earbuds! ;)

I love that Book 1 has mental health represented in the storyline. It is something that needs to be talked about and brought to the light. Little pieces are woven into the beginning and middle of the book until we get the full picture towards the end.

Ryan and Nicole have an instant spark. He has an ease about him that is perfect for Nicole after her break-up from her long-time boyfriend. She is figuring out her path in life and what makes her happy.

This book introduces us to a few of the major players throughout the series. A wonderful read and listen!

Hello Halsey Holmes!

Revisado: 01-14-24

Love. I love this book and the full cast of AMAZING narrators (all on my favorites list) made it that much better. Each narrator gave an amazing performance and they blended together perfectly to make this audio seemless. Since Book 1, I've been waiting for Halsey's story and Meghan Quinn doesn't disappoint.

Halsey is different than I anticipated, but in the best way. He is so sweet and kind. But also, alpha and domineering, when needed. Blakely is cheery, but also feisty. Their back and forth was witty and fun to read. When they got together between the sheets, it was HOT! My emotions were all over the place - happy, laughing, sad, angry, and everything in between.

The only thing I would've loved to see more of was the reunion at the end of the book (don't want to say more in case of spoilers). Another great story by the fabulous Meghan Quinn!

Stellar ending to his phenomenal series!

Revisado: 01-14-24

I love Beau and Bailey - their chemistry and interactions were heightened by the wonderful narrators - Jason Clarke (always a guaranteed winner in my book) and Angelica Rocca (a new-to-me-narrator that nailed it). Great story and series!

Opposites attract!

Revisado: 10-05-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Alex and Cass are everything!! While Alex is controlled and stoic at times (well-captured by Connor Crais), he is also swoony AF. Match his personality with the easygoing, bubbly Cass and fireworks explode. This is the first audiobook I've heard with Kirsten Leigh and she did a fabulous job capturing Cass's personality. Both narrators gave great performances.

I loved their chemistry and the bumper stickers always injected a good laugh. When they were together, it was fire. HOWEVER, there is one person that stole the show. PINKY! She is sweet, sassy, and a big ole firecracker. There was that instant connection between her and Cass that warmed my heart. They both found someone that makes them feel like they belong.

You restored my passion and my joy. You fueled my hunger, and you sated it. You were the missing piece that completed my family.

Owen and Savannah are fire!

Revisado: 09-25-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Owen and Savannah have an intense chemistry - I felt their pull towards each other off the pages.

This is my first audio experience of Aure Nash and she did a PHENOMENAL job. She perfectly captures the different moods and sass levels of Savannah Rose along with the hint of New Orleans in her voice.

"One second my red strapless dress was looking modestly $exy, and in the next? N!p slip, y'all. N!pple. Slip."

Add in the Jason Clarke as the growly, deep-voiced Owen? PERFECTION! He is my favorite male narrator that delivers excellence every. single. time. Jason and Aure take this great story by Maria Luis to a next level experience with their vocal performances.

The book starts with a brief intro to Owen and Savannah's history and the push and pull between them when they are both back in New Orleans. As we get more into the book, the steam level rises, and they are fire in my ears and on the pages. The side characters add a touch of humor into their story. Pablo - Savannah's devil cat - is always good for a laugh too and makes himself known in the story!

I love the Put A Ring on It series by Maria and Love Me Tomorrow giving Owen and Savannah their HEA was the perfect ending. Highly recommend!

Single dad/small town with a dash of mystery

Revisado: 05-14-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The town of Eureka is being plagued by a crime spree. Sheriff Aidan Stone and his small department need help solving the crime. Enter Britt, forensic photographer and granddaughter of the mayor. She left town to get away from the reputation of her family, but she is ready to come home and prove herself.

There is an instant chemistry between Aidan and Britt - neither one can deny the pull. When they are near each other, the passion ignites. Aidan is a dirty talker, and he and Britt are super steamy together!

The supporting cast is excellent. Owen, Aidan's son/zebra expert, adds a touch of cuteness and he loves Edward, Britt's hound dog that sniffs out clues. Aidan's brothers and Britt's friends have future couples written all over them. Britt's family has a touch of magic and adds another element to the storyline.

The characters are expertly voiced by Troy Duran and Samantha Brentmoor. Both are talented and transition between characters with ease.

This book has a different feel than Tia's other books; however, it entertained, and the mystery unfolds perfectly!

Enemies-to-lovers and bi-awakening

Revisado: 04-28-23

They were enemies on the field and hated each other, but one heated exchanged proves the line between hate and love is very fine. I really enjoyed this story and listening to James Joseph and Will Watt perform took it to the next level of enjoyment.

Great listen and story!
