Epic Series Finale

Revisado: 04-23-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Sin with Me is an epic finale to the Sugarland Creek series. I LOVE the history that the author builds between Wilder and Delilah—so many things from the other books make sense in a whole new way now (reading this book as a stand alone is possible, but having the context from the previous stories is nice). The tension and chemistry between them builds as the book progresses. I wouldn’t consider this story angsty, as it’s pretty clear where they are headed from the get go and other books, but it is definitely filled with drama and delights. The sub-plots that are woven through bring the action and suspense.

The narrators for this one are awesome! Their performances are on point and so much fun to listen to. For me, the audiobook really elevated the experience of this novel to the next level. I have mixed feelings about this one only because I have been waiting and waiting for Wilder’s story and I’m also sad we are leaving this dynamic group of people. I do feel like we get a very satisfying end to this series with a lovely wrap up in the epilogue.

Angsty & Heartful Love!

Revisado: 04-08-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Web of Lies is an angsty and heartful love story with some fascinating twists, great drama, and main characters who totally deserve their HEA. Kat and Graham were each put through the wringer in a past relationship, and it’s interesting to see how they choose to navigate their emotions and circumstances moving forward. Kat is dynamic and bold in her choices, though completely off base in a lot of the narratives she writes in her own head. It’s clear her self-esteem is at rock bottom, but she is brave in that she is willing to take a chance again, but she doesn’t always listen very well. Graham appears to be better at hiding his emotions, and it’s fun to see how his behavior comes out around his employees and with his friends. The bar scene at the beginning is awesome, and I absolutely love how Graham’s coworkers and best friend help him to shift his perspective.
The narrators did an amazing job of highlighting the angst, pain, joy, and everything in between with their knockout performances. I loved listening to this audiobook—it brought a well-written novel to the next level for me.

Amazing Character Development & Great Plot

Revisado: 04-02-25

Leather & Lark is beautifully built, with amazing character development and a great plot. Though there are some truly gruesome moments, the balance between the humorous parts and the disturbing is well-planned and smoothly delivered. Lark is such a complex woman—we saw pieces of her in the first book in this series—and I loved getting to know her through the eyes of her suitor. Watching their fumbling and miscommunications was as entertaining as their sweet and steamy scenes. The narrators were outstanding in their capacity to portray the diverse group of people in this novel. Their delivery, tone, pitch, and inflection were spot on as I imagined each of the characters to be, so for me listening to the audiobook was an
awesome way to enjoy this author’s wildly creative, jam-packed story. Loved it!

Drama, Emotion, & Beautiful Bonds!

Revisado: 03-12-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Revenge is filled with drama, emotions and beautiful bonds! Greyson and Cierra are a dynamic couple with robust lives and passion for helping others. As a school librarian, Cierra’s mostly quiet life is upended at the beginning of the novel and while the threat is not overt or direct, the drama and suspense builds wonderfully as the story progresses. Greyson is the ultimate book boyfriend—protective alpha with a caring soul who treats people with respect and his woman like a queen. Their meet cute is funny and sweet with a little bit of heat, and the energy flowing between them grows as the love story progresses, providing the perfect blend of all the feels and so much more.

The narrators were outstanding in their roles, bringing an entire new level of life to these robust characters. I loved listening to Cierra and Grayson interact, their internal monologues, and my favorite scene involved cake and the other Ops guys—so well done! This was such a great listen all around—I highly recommend this audiobook!

Absolutely Phenomenal!

Revisado: 01-28-25

Butcher & Blackbird is absolutely phenomenal! I bought the audiobook on recommendation from the Read Me Romance podcast hosts, and I am beyond happy that I did so! This is most definitely dark, super steamy, and funny as all get out! With duet narration delivered by Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers (both of whom are outstanding—more to come on this) to keep me riveted, this is my first Brynn Weaver novel, but it will not be my last!

Blackbird is a highly angsty loner with a fascinating personality, a droll day job that she excels at, a troubled past that we learn about as the story progresses, and whose personal passion and outlet is stalking and terminating serial killers. With a sarcastic sense of humor and fantastic one-on-one communication skills, her sassy banter and dry wit is perfectly contrasted by Butcher. Butcher is a restaurant owner and chef by day whose private passion also happens to be taking out serial killers. He is alpha-protector hotness on a stick with a side of dynamite. The story drops you right into the thick of it, and it keeps you dangling on the edge to the very end. The chemistry between Blackbird and Butcher is off the charts, and the game that they agree to is highly entertaining in the most unconventional of ways. Their story is full of unexpected twists and turns, intense and complex supporting characters, and crazy wicked sexual tension that builds and builds and…yes!

Joe Arden portrays Butcher so perfectly—from the attitude and inflection, the emotion and steam, to the little moments and sound effects on the side. Lucy Rivers is a stunning Blackbird with her soothing voice and dynamic delivery. I absolutely love the duet narration for this—every time Butcher (or other male characters) speak it is voiced by Joe—even when it’s a chapter delivered by Lucy—and vice versa. This really elevates the audio to the next level of entertainment and engagement. And the way Joe and Lucy performed was as if they were in the same room and the same time playing off of each other’s performances.

I would give this audiobook a million stars if I could, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark romance. I do strongly suggest that you read and heed trigger warnings posted by the author and/or others’ feedback, as this story is graphic in all aspects—including conversation, sex, torture, unaliving, and more.

Red’s Redemption!

Revisado: 01-23-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

One Hundred Desires is unexpectedly sweet and so much fun. Red finds redemption and self-worth within himself with the help of the Aspen Cove family in this funny and flirty love story. I love Viv’s spirit and strength, brilliance and boldness, and the way she handles Red and addresses his stalker issues. Seeing Red’s inner self is such a juxtaposition from his character in previous novels; it’s refreshing to hear his inner thoughts and personal perspective. I love that he is so much more than what the media and his past have portrayed him to be. This is a beautiful blend of action, emotion, drama, and sass—and the narrator does a wonderful job of portraying these two.

Magically Delicious!

Revisado: 01-20-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Grumpy in the Mountains is awesome! Colin is the gruffest, grumpiest man on the Greene Mountain scene, and I’ve loved his appearances in prior books. I’ve been waiting for his story and it’s sooooo good! Molly is kind and sweet, driven and motivated. She and Colin have explosive chemistry and such a beautiful history—up until the day they didn’t. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Colin come unraveled for her once again. The perfect blend of action, drama, and irritating mama brings them right to where they are supposed to be. I just loved it!

Patrick and Kitt are amazing narrators! I’ve heard each of them in other audiobooks before and am a big fan of each of their bodies of work. These two really get into their roles and do an amazing job of bringing their characters to audio life. Patrick plays an amazing Colin—full of emotion and so expressive in his delivery. Kitt is an equally stunning Molly with her zest for life and drive to succeed really shining through.

So Incredible!

Revisado: 01-10-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Lonely Heart is so incredible! I’ve loved Ivy since we first met her—she is kind, hardworking, driven, and direct. It is fascinating to get to know this more intimate side of her and watch her discover Marco in a whole new light. Marco is gifted and talented in so many ways, and I love that he is there for Ivy no matter what, protecting her, caring for her, and honoring her wishes—putting her well-being and needs first. Watching him accept and grow into his new-found feelings for her is such a beautiful journey. These two each deserve love and happiness they find in each other. Author AK Evans does a brilliant job of building a friends-to-lovers romance filled with emotion, intensity, tension, action, and steam, and the narrators definitely delivered with their incredible performances.

Pulse-Pounding OTT Hotness!!!

Revisado: 11-19-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Found in the Mountains is by turns sweet, heart-pounding, adventurous, and sexy. Megan is definitely in need of a change in her life, and a traumatic experience presents her with the opportunity to review and revamp her goals and her future. Park Ranger Noah is a kind and caring soul who wants to help everyone. In a life-altering moment, he sees his future and just knows. She. Is. His. I absolutely love the brazen alpha male protector novellas—and I love me a strong female as well. This novella has both—with sexual tension, steam, action, and laughs. I loved the cameos from the other Greene Mountain couples plus the twins Tina and Tiffany always bring the entertainment. Delightful short and hot read in classic OTT style.

I also listened to the audiobook, and it was awesome! The narrators have smooth voices that are easy to listen to, and they bring the emotions and actions to audio life in a delightfully satisfying and enjoyable way. This is such a steamy hot novella and series, and the audiobook just enhances the beauty of this story!

Delicious, Entertaining, & Oh the Twists!!!

Revisado: 11-15-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Control is my new favorite book in this series! Ty is an absolute dream, and Alana is outstanding! I adore Alana’s bravery, courage, determination, and strength. Ty is steadfast in his resolve, and I love that he always patiently allows Alana to think through her options and make her own choices. I found it fascinating how Alana didn’t really register the true danger behind what she was doing, and it never occurred to her that the danger was not limited to a specific set of circumstances until Ty points it out to her. The twists and turns this novel takes are fascinating, and I really enjoyed the plethora of supporting characters who each brought different levels of complexity to the overall mystery of who-dun-it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook—the characters’ emotions and thoughts, and the chemistry between the two, were so palpable and explosive I could taste it. Love, love, love and highly recommend this story!!!
