Absolutely loved listening to No More Spies. Lexi Blake is an incredible author who always delivers a story that you can't stop listening to or if Reading that you just can't put down even if it means stating up all night. Then when you add in Ryan West as a narrator, listener are in heaven| Ryan West, as a narrator, just enhances Lexi’s books. I love Ryan’s deep and expressive voice.. His voice is one my favorite narrators to listen to. No More Spies is filled with unique characters, drama, angst, secrets, revelations, twists, turns, things going sideways, and solo much panty 🩲 melting heat 🔥🔥! I sincerely and honestly can recommend No More Spies, Masters and Mercenaries, New Recruits series, and Lexi Blake as an author, I can do this as I have never been disappointed with any of the books I have either listened to or read and No More Spies is no exception. Happy listening!!

Heartwarming, original and sexy!!

Revisado: 06-30-22

Wow…Susan Stoker has once again blown me away with her newest audiobook, Searching For Elsie! Susan Stoker is on my top five of favorite authors and Searching For Elsie is a perfect example of why. Susan always writes heartwarming, original sexy stories that is unbelievable with how much readers can enjoy listening to Searching For Elsie. Susan always releases her audiobook before her ebook and hardcover books. I am so here for it!! I can never get enough of Susan’s stories and will listen to the audiobook as soon as it comes out. Not only is the story always exceptional but the narrators really bring out the story from Susan. The narrators did an excellent job with infection and emotion in their narrations that enhances Susan’s story. I can’t wait for Searching For Bristol which is the next book in the Eagle Point Search and Rescue and Deserving Alaska which is a new series that is the next release from Susan Stoker! I love all of Susan Stoker’s books and I have read all of her books she has written and always look forward to her releases no matter what series or trope. Whether you read or listen to Susan’s books readers/listeners will not be disappointed!! Happing listening and reading!!

Must listen!!

Ohhh myyy…I absolutely love The Better Bully. The Better Bully was a fantastic story and the narrator only enhanced my enjoyment. I have listened to a lot of audiobook and The Better Bully is going on my favorite audiobook list. From the beginning to the end I kept listening whenever I had the chance and when I was doing other stuff while home alone I would hook up my phone to the sound bar to make sure I could hear while sewing and other household chores. When my batteries would run out I would use the best feature of all time and read the ebook. Anyway, back to The Better Bully. Whether I was listening or reading my attention was on The Better Bully. I got to the point where I had to stop and just listen to what was going on. I admit to having several emotional reactions like laughing, frowning, and a few others. I love when an author writes a book that can do that. It means that I felt like I was there right along side the characters and know what it means to feel that way (yes, I cry during sad movies). Roxanne Tully will be an author that I hope to be able to listen and read her books in future and she has definitely captured my interest after listening and reading The Better Bully. Happy listening (and reading)!

🔥🔥🔥. ARC REVIEW- Bully Me by Selena. 🔥🔥🔥
Oh my…Bully me is sooo good. I enjoyed reading Bully Me immensely. Started by grabbing my attention and ended with a Big Bang! I was totally engrossed in Bully Me.. The cliffhanger at the end of Bully Me did its job very well as I can’t wait to read Betray Me. Lucky for me the whole series is out already so I can dive into Betray Me, book two in the Willow Heights Prep Academy. Bully Me will keep you engrossed from beginning to the very end and is filled with so much of my favorite elements. Bully Me is filled with lots of drama, angst, twists, turns, things going sideways, emotions, and very hot 🔥. I just love the way it’s the Dolce family vs the Darling Family and how the Dolce family is the new kids on the block and the Darlings will not just standby and let them take over. Selena did an extremely good job with Bully Me. Selena has quickly become one of my favorite authors and Bully Me is just one book from her that I enjoyed. I highly recommend Bully Me, Willow Heights Prep Academy series, and Selena as an author.

I took in turns both the audiobook from Audible and read the ebook from Amazon and I am so happy I did. I love audiobooks but when I can’t listen being able to read is a great way to enjoy a book. The narrator, Amanda L’Orien, did a fantastic job. I thought she enhanced the whole experience and will look forward to hearing her voice on other audiobooks. If you have the option of listening to the audiobook then I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Funny and with lots of heat!!

Revisado: 10-03-21

Wow…I enjoyed reading and listening (gotta love kindles hand off feature) to I Dare You. I Dare You was entertaining and made me laugh and get a little teary eyed during part of the I Dare You. Delaney and Maverick may not have hit it off right away but they sure had some chemistry. They both had some past issues that made it hard for them both to overcome as individuals and as a couple. Their chemistry though was panty meltingly hot. Delany and Maverick did not have an easy time trusting each other with their past histories and their current struggles. That will be all I will say as I don’t want to ruin or spoil I Dare You for future readers. I will say that I highly recommend I Dare You and, Waylon University series, and Isla Madden Mills (author). Isa did a fantastic job with I Dare You. Delany and Maverick were wonderful characters and their stories really worked too. The best of all is while reading I had a smile on my face and my husband even had to ask why I was smiling so much. Isla creates characters with original personalities and past histories that works for the storyline. I have read and listened to both I Dare and I Bet You from the Waylon University series (just had to continue but decided to write my review before diving into I Hate You and I Promise You from the Waylon University series) and I have already added Isla to my favorite authors list. I off to dive into I Hate You which is up next I. The Waylon University Series. Happy Read or listening lol😂.!!

PS
I really enjoyed the narrators and felt that the narrator added to my enjoyment of I Dare You. Narrators Lee Samuels and Brooke Bloomingdales did a great job!

Wow…loved reading I Bet You

Revisado: 10-03-21

Wow…Ryker and Penelope are a fantastic couple. They both seem to be dealing with a lot but together they slowly heal and comes to terms with their past. I Bet You is funny and has a serious side with past issues but I enjoyed reading and listening (love Kindles hand off feature) to it sooo much. Isla Madden Mills, author, created the perfect characters and background for Penelope and Ryker. I love reading books from authors like Isla Madden Mills who are able to write a book you can get lost into and can bring out emotional responses where the reader has a smile on their face or brings tears to your eyes. To me that makes me add them to my favorite authors list. This is the second book I have read from Isla and I have already put her in my list after reading I Dare You and I Bet you from the Waylon University series. I highly recommend I Bet You and the Waylon University series and Isla as an author. I plan on checking out more of her books in the Waylon University. Next two books that are in the series are I Hate You and I Promise You that I plan on listening 🎧and reading 📖. I encourage readers to check out all four books from Isla. You (readers) won’t be disappointed, Happy Reading!!

Easy 5 ⭐️s!! Loved Ezra’s and Solo’s (Kim’s) story!

Revisado: 08-18-21

O.M.G….I love reading all books by Lexi Blake, author. No Love Lost is a very excellent example of why I love all of Lexi’s books. My absolute favorite series are Masters and Mercenaries, Butterfly Bayou, Master and Mercenaries: The Forgotten, Sanctum Nights, Nights in Bliss Colorado, Lawless,Topped, Master of Ménage, Texas Sirens, Thieves Series, Crossover Collection, and Master and Mercenaries: Reloaded. Lexi creates fantastic storylines, characters that are so, so easy to relate to and empathize with, histories that are unique and bring out emotional reactions, and are panty meltingly hot 🔥🔥! I just love the way all of the series have some crossover in them and within the series the characters support each other and have the same sense of brotherhood, loyalty, and family that I love in MC romances. I first read the Masters of Ménage series and fell in love with Lexi’s style of writing and quickly discovered her Master and Mercenaries Series and the rest as they say is history…Lexi became my one of the top five authors that I have on my favorite authors list. No Love Lost is part of the Master and Mercenaries series and is filled with elements (fast paced action, twists, turns, things going sideways, surprises, secrets, emotions, and the pant meltingly hot 🔥🔥 level of heat I have come to appreciate in books by Lexi) that I love and all the families that make up McKay and Taggert! I have wanted to get Ezra’s story for sooo sooo long and now that I got to read his story I am in heaven and can’t wait till the next Master and Mercenaries: Reloaded books comes out. I highly, highly recommend No Love Lost and Lexi Blake’s Series that I listed above. If you love BDSM elements in your erotic romances then Lexi’s books are a MUST READ!! Have fun reading No Love Lost. Welllll, if you haven’t read any of her books then I highly suggest you start with the Masters and Mercenaries Bundle: The Early Ops (cheaper that way than individually and also you will want to read as much of this series as possible). If you love military romances this is also a MUST read book for you (or at least the series is and see the comments above and where to start the series)!!

Audiobook
I absolutely, totally, and completely recommend listening to the audiobook version of No Love Lost. I listened to the majority of the story but loved the option to hand off and read when I wasn’t listening to the story. Ryan West definitely brings No Love Lost alive! I think he was the perfect narrator for the whole Master and Mercenaries books and No Love Lost is not an exception to that statement. If you love audiobooks then listening to No Love Lost in Audible is a MUST!! Lexi did a fantastic job with No Love Lost!!

5⭐️ Book 📖

Revisado: 05-26-21

💐💐💐⭐️ ARC REVIEW- Rules and Roses by Heather Long ⭐️💐💐💐
Rules and Roses is the first book in the Untouchable Series. I love Rules and Roses. The name of the series comes from Bubba, Coop, Archer, and Jake declared that Frankie was untouchable but because They didn’t tell Frankie it caused misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Frankie found out the ending of Jr year from a girl who used to be friends with her when they were younger. The beginning of senior year when Frankie finally found someone who the guys didn’t know and he showed interest she kept it to herself. When the guys found out you they finally dealt with the misunderstandings and Frankie explained how she felt. Frankie just wanted to be like everyone else and date and experience her firsts that most other teens do in high school like attend school dances, go on dates, and maybe even get her first kiss. I will leave it there. If you want to find out what happened next and what the outcome was you will have to read the book. I don’t want to spoil the book for any future readers. Let’s just say that things turned around in a big way. I want to say more but I won’t. Rules and Roses 💐 is filled with lots of angst, drama, emotions, secrets, revelations, and lots of heat 🔥🌡. This is the first book I have read from Heather Long and I have to say that it will not be my last. I am so glad that the Untouchable series has so many books that are released and I can binge them before Book 9, Defiance and Dedication, comes out. Besides the bully romances Heather writes PNR, RH, and Military romances. All of which are my fave route tropes and if Rules and Roses 💐 is any indication I am really going to enjoy reading more of Heather’s books. Heather developed characters that were well rounded, with depth and characteristics that make them likable, easy to relate to, and empathize with. Heather created worlds for her characters that are fantastic backdrops to the story and enhances the characters and helps shape them. Heather is an author that I can see fast becoming a favorite. Highly recommend reading Rules and Roses 💐, Untouchable series, and Heather Long as an author. Enjoy your reading!!

Audibook
I listened to an audiobook version of Rules and Roses 🥀 and loved it. Audio books brings a new dimension that brings the story to life. I love one there is more than one narrator so that you can really get lost in the story. When narrators just changes their voice to a different pitch can work too having multiple narrators just really makes the best audiobooks to me. I think that narrators were perfect for Rules and Roses 🥀. I can’t decide if I liked reading the book or listening to the audiobook. I think both has both positive and negative sides to it. I really recommend doing both so that whether you read or listen you can have the best or both worlds. I love the hand off feature between Kindle and Audible is really convenient.

Find out what happened to out favorite couples!!

🏈🏈🏈ARC REVIEW- The Endgame by L.A. Cotton🏈🏈🏈
O.M.G….I still have a running nose from the tears. The Endgame has parts that will bring you to tears. Ok…seriously I laughed, cried, smiled, got mad, cheered, got frustrated and felt so many other emotions. I love The Endgame. L.A. Cotton, author, has fast become one of my favorite authors. She write books that have lots and lots of heat and emotions. L.A spins some stories that keeps you guessing and so engrossed in the story that you don’t want to put the book down and get upset over any interruptions. I figured out that when I start a book from L.A. to make sure I won’t have interruptions or start too late at night or I will be up all night reading. The Endgame is book 4 of the Rixon Raiders series and focuses on the characters college years and mentions what happened to the couples. Each couple had their own road to travel and it was not easy. Poor Cam had the roughest and I cried the most with his story. I won’t say what happened but have tissues ready. Highly recommend this book, it is a MUST read!!

I both read and listened to The Endgame so this review will reflect that too. The narrators were perfect for the story. They had emotions and inflections down pat with The Endgame. Narrator are so important when listening 🎧🎧 to an audiobook. I love the Kindles hand off so you can read or listen to the book depending on your preference. For me, I like to listen 🎧 when I am doing chores like washing dishes or driving. Then in bed I will read as sometimes I read faster than the narrators would. I know you can adjust how fast it reads to you but I it’s usually too slow or too fast and not easy to find the perfect speed. But whether you listen or you read The Endgame you will not be disappointed. Have fun finding out what is happening with all of our (the readers who are big fan of the Rixon Raiders series) favorite couples…Hailey and Cam, Felicity and Jason, and Mia and Asher. I can wait for the next generation in Off Limits (Rixon High).

Loved Reading The Lies We Tell

Revisado: 01-05-21

Wow….The Lies We Tell was so very intense, hot, and full of surprises. Kinslee, Cassius, Weston, Zayde, and Caiden are full of secrets and suspicious of each other. Well, the “Four”, as Cassius, Weston, Zayde, and Caiden are known as is suspicious of Winter and vice versus. But all of them were suspicious of Winter’s Mom. The “Four” and Winter are now step-siblings and they all hated Winter’s Mom who is a very cold and unfeeling woman. Winter and Caiden were attracted to each other but was determined to ignore it at least until they found out what the other were doing or knew what was happening. Winter wanted to find out who killed her father and Caiden wanted proof that Winter’s Mom was a gold digger and what hold she had over there father. I won’t go into and more detail as I am skating very close to writing a spoiler into my review. Let’s just say that Winter and the “Four” had more in common than they thought. The Lies We Tell is super interesting and makes readers want more and keeps you guessing. In view of the cliffhanger at the end of the Lies We Tell I can’t wait for The Secrets We Hide, book to in the Four series. From the very first page till the last you will be kept entertained and enthralled waiting to see what happens between the Four and Winter and more specifically Caiden and Winter. I confess that I read and listened to The Lies We Tell. I listened when I wasn’t able to read and when I could I would read. Have to love Kindle and Audible and the way you have the option of reading or listening to a book. The narrators were the perfect voices for the four and Winter. The narrators definitely kept you want to keep listening to their voices. Becca Steele is an outstanding writer and is quickly becoming an author I want to keep on reading her stories. This was the first book I read from Becca Steele and it won’t be the last and I can already tell she is a talented writer who keeps readers wanting more. Enjoy reading all about the Four and Winter.
