Joint Review: Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone

October 22, 2020 by Kini Leave a Comment

Cover of Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone

Melinda and I are Cara Bastone fan girls so I thought it would be fun for us to do a joint review of Bastone’s latest release- Call Me Maybe, An Audible Original. Kini: The whole premise is that Vera, the female main character, calls tech support and starts an hours long call with Cal, the male main character. I love these kinds of set ups.  When I first started this story I wasn’t sure I was going to love the male narrator’s voice. It was stronger and deeper than I had imagined. Continue Reading

Audio Review: A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday

October 21, 2020 by Melinda Leave a Comment

A Princess for Christmas by Jenny HolidayContemporary Holiday RomanceOctober 13, 2020, by AvonARC Review by Melinda This book was the definition of aggressively fine for me and part of it has to do with my own issues I bring with me but part of it was definitely the book. My issue is around that once again breast cancer is in the background for these characters. Admittedly, it plays a small part but it looms large over the entire book as it’s what killed one of the protagonist’s mothers. Continue Reading

Playing for Keeps, the first book in Kendall Ryan's new Hot Jack series, is available on audio first! Playing for Keeps I've never been so stupid in my entire life. Elise Parrish, my teammate's incredibly sweet and gorgeous younger sister, should have been off-limits, but my hockey stick didn't get the memo.

You can pick up your copy of The Slow Burn now. Tobias Gamble knew from a young age precisely the kind of woman he was going to make his. She was not going to be like his mother. She was going to be like the mother he claimed. In other words, she was going to be just right. And Continue Reading

Awaken the Darkness by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #8) Paranormal Romance July 10, 2018 Self Published Blurb:  He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there.

All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to Continue Reading

November 1, 2017 by Mandi 2 Comments

Audible emailed me earlier this week with a new feature that releases today, and I thought some of my readers would be interested in it! Audible Romance is a monthly subscription that gives you unlimited access to over ten thousand romance books. You can listen to as many as you want each month (Like Kindle Unlimited, I assume?). If you are already an Audible member it's an additional $6.95 per month, or if you are a new subscriber, $14.95. A few thing that Audible Romance offers: "Take Continue Reading

Audiobook Recommendations

March 18, 2014 by Mandi 29 Comments

I go through phases of obsessively listening to audio books and then forgetting them for awhile. Right now I'm in the obsessive listening phase. When I run errands, clean the house, fold laundry - I have my ear buds in with a book on. I'm currently listening to Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright and this book is FUN. I really enjoy the narrator too (who can make or break an audio book). Also let me note that I'm listening to the rereleased version as the first version of this book has an odd scene Continue Reading
