Completely Honest

Reviewed: 10-22-23

Thank you, Shania, for your honesty about your life and your journey. Shania's story gives inspiration to others... nothing is impossible, and the power to forgive can move mountains. I loved her music and prosona when I was in my early 20's (I'm 57 now), and my 27, 31 year old daughters love her as well and enjoyed Shania's last concert in Ft worth. This book definitely expands on her documentary and fills in a lot of missing elements that the documentry doesn't include based on time.

Thought Provoking

Reviewed: 05-23-22

Even though Rachel is a young woman, she gives thought provoking ideas and concepts on alternative lifestyles as she tells her life story. She also gives the reader valuable information on concepts of non-mongamy, sexuality, human biology, polyamory, jelleousy, depression, gas lighting and other topics associated with her experience with non-mondamy and kink. She never truly says that she was in a Dom/sub or hot wife relationship, but believe the components were there. She just chooses not to put a big label on it through out the book even though she does mention concepts of kink. Rachel also did a wonderful job with explaining terms on alternative lifestyles and how different elements can impact these different types of relationships. Even though, she expressed in the book that many people hated Adam, I never felt that way. I always felt that he cared and loved her in a non traditional way, but over time, his style became toxic to Rachel since she struggled to be comfortable with his other relationships and how he treated their relationship. This resulted in jelleousy and pain for rachel which was understandable because of his inability to truly make her feel valued at times. This obviously affected their relationship and over time, their situations became toxic for Rachel. Looking at Rachel's relationship with Adam, helped me evaluate my life a bit. This book was truly informative and thought provoking. 5 stars.

Love these Alpha Dragons

Reviewed: 02-18-19

A few years ago I read the complete series and loved each of the books. Even though each book is a stand a lone, each book is still intertwined with each other. So, I would encourage you to read in order.

Initially, the hunt seems barbaric, but as you get into the story, it all starts to make sense as the Dragons try to figure out the best approach to win over these tenacious human woman. Julie is very head strong and repels at the idea of being a dragon baby mama, even if the Dragon race is practically becoming instinct since female Dragons are becoming more difficult to mate with. For as much as Julie wants to resist this hot steamy Dragon man, he can be oh so persuasive and it becomes harder and harder to resist this Alpha male.

This book has hot sex scenes along with a good story,. Plus, the two narrators are fabulous which make this book so much fun to listen to. my only complaint on the book series is each book is fairly short. 4.5 stars.

great narrator and story.

Reviewed: 11-19-18

I have listened to this story out of order which is fine, but I would suggested listening in order, even though each book is a stand alone. These stories are full of action and steamy romance, plus the narrator is fabulous.

Flipping for Love

Reviewed: 06-16-18

I have loved Helena Hunting Pucked and the Shacking up series and I couldn't wait for this book especially since these are two of my favorites narrators.

Even though I thought this was a great story line, I didnt entirely connect with the characters. Well more specifically Rian. You see, the story is about two twin sisters who are realtors/partners and have kept their father's criminal background a secret, while developing real estate business. Our hero, Pierce is a patent lawyer who comes from a wealthy family and he and his brother are buying homes in the Hamptons and renovating the houses while is is taking a break from the law firm. The girls become their realtors. So before long sparks fly between Rian and Pierce. Normally, this should be the good part for me, but unfortunately this is where it fell flat.

For me, there is a fine line between a female character who is being tough, independent or jaded vs bitchy. Pierce was so sweet throughout the book, but Rian was so cold, distant and bitchy throughout most of the book that it was hard for me to see why Rian would keep chasing her. Even Rian's personality ruined the sex scenes for me.

Yet, with that being said, the book was still 4 stars because it has a great plot and strong narrators. I only wish there was a bit more humor and passion between the characters. It is worth the purchase especially if you have already been reading the shacking up series or enjoyed the Pucked series. 4 stars.

Private should stay private

Reviewed: 05-26-18

This was a hot and sassy story with great steamy dialog. Yet, this story gives a big shot of reality to remind us all about the problems associated with using modern technologies when sharing intimate conversations with people because technology can easily allow someone to steal private conversations and make it public even when both parties think they are only sharing intimate details with each other.

overall, I really enjoyed this book, yet i struggled with. the female narrator. she had a hard time when she tried to use a Male voice. I honestly wanted to almost skip those parts, but I didn't. her voice also went up note at the end of every sentence. This is not a big problem because several narrators do this from time to time. The great narrators do not and are truly actors rather than readers. Sebastian York was fantastic as always. He can bring any character or book to life. He is a joy to listen to and also pretty much carried this book for me. I would always give him 10 stars if I could. 4 1/2 stars overall.

Historical Second Chance

Reviewed: 05-20-18

This is the second J. Miller romance book I've listened to and I must say they are thoroughly enjoyable. her stories have all levels of emotions in which she develops a nice blend of romance and action with richly written dialog. the narrator does a great job with her Scottish accent. Seeing our hero and heroine grab their second chance in love and life was priceless.

Love Some Scottish Romance

Reviewed: 05-16-18

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was great at bringing this Scottis romance to life.

As for the story, it is fairly typical, but this author gives us some great build-up to some hot sex scenes. you will fall in love with the hero and wish you were in Stella's place.

If you like steamy Scottish romances, than you will enjoy this book.

Short and Sweet

Reviewed: 04-04-18

I absolutely love Sara Ney's Douche Bag series, so I was excited to find this little novella. Switch Hitter involves the referred to Barbi twins, Lucy and Amelia and a college baseball player, Dash. Now I am not going to say this is a Cane and Able type of story, but one of the twins (Lucy) is very self-absorbed and the other twin (Amelia) always cleans up Lucy's dating messes. So once again, Amelia is put into the situation to go on one of Lucy's dates because she doubled booked herself and really Lucy is just not into the college baseball catcher, Dash. So, Ameilia to the rescue, but what Dash, Amelia, and Lucy do not realize is that there would be an overwhelming connection between Dash and Amelia.

This story is short, sweet and has some interesting moments. My only issue with this book was is was so short. I wished it could have been written as a novel rather than a novella. With that being said, it was a great audio to fill a few hours for me. I love these narrators which made their story come to life. If you like Sara Ney's stories, then it is worth the purchase.
