He Saved my Boy is a sexy love story on the lighter and sweeter side. Davis and Teagan meet while both are on solo vacations. Their instant explosive chemistry was addicting from the start. The story is about finding unexpected love and overcoming the obstacles that a forbidden storyline offers. Teagan, single mom to Connor is narrated by Kelsey Navarro. Her performance was excellent. Emotional and humorous and fun loving. Kelsey has perfect range and her tone is easy to listen to and fall in love with her character. Davis is an orthopedic surgeon. He is a busy, successful doctor. He is protective and nuturing towards Teagan and Connor as they come back into each others lives by chance. Tim's performance as Davis is steamy and sweet, with bits of humor and emotion packed in between. Both Tim and Kelsey have fantastic vocal chemistry. I love when these two pair together and always look forward to more by them.

I cannot put into words how much I loved this book! Meg Anne and K. Loraine merging their worlds together is pure genius and hope they never stop writing together! The angst, the emotions and passion in their writing was brilliantly executed. These characters took hold of my heart from beginning to end and I'm so invested. I need the next book asap! I am still fairly new to paranormal romance and the more I read the more I'm pulled deeper into this genre and can't get enough.

I loved Sunday. She embodies stength. She is fierce and courageous and there is no one better to voice her character than Stella Hunter! Stella's voice bleeds her characters emotions and passions. Sunday is a female shifter looking for her wolf and gets so much more than she imagined when she steps into the campus of Ravenscroft University. She not only meets one but four alphas. A vampire prince, a forbidden preist, a demi-god and bully wolf.

These men are all different in their own unique way. I will say at this point I don't really care for Kingston (the bully wolf), he is overly possessive, stubborn and arrogant but at the same time I need to know more about him and am hopeful I'll come around to him over the next few books. Noah, the vampire prince is protective and all consuming. Caleb is the forbidden priest and there is no missing the explosive chemistry between he and Sunday. Alek, the demi-god exudes dominance, but he also has a softer side to him that I need more of. James Joseph, JF Harding, Jason Clarke and Aaron Shedlock are incredibly talented narrators. These voices could not be more perfectly cast. Listening to this story in duet narrative is phenomenal and an aural experience like no other. Between Jason Clarke's Irish brogue and James Joseph's sexy British the accents in this will make you melt and swoon over and over again.

The Mate Games have only begun with Obsession. There is so much more to come and I am READY!

I am loving this Swift series! In this second book in the series, we get Atticus’ brother Brick’s story. Brick has an emotional past and his journey to love was sexy, sweet and heartwarming. I just loved how meeting January healed his heart from the loss in his past. Both he and January are sports agents. While initially neither were looking for anything serious the two connect instantly and it is clear from the beginning that they were always meant to be more.

There simply isn’t anything Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell narrate together that I don’t love. I have said this before and I will say it again Joe is a powerhouse narrator. His voice is smooth and silky in those intimate moments, and raw and emotional during the vulnerable ones. Maxine did a fantastic job as January. Her voice is bright and cheery and I loved her passionate and confident delivery. Such fantastic storytelling!

Bristol (the sister of Atticus and Brick) and Sawyer are up next in The Cannon and I cannot wait to listen to it next.

Flirt is the perfect title for this story! This is a fun, flirty and sweet friends to lovers, fake realtionship, workplace romance. Brooke and Moss have fantastic, easy instant chemistry. Their banter, their friendship, and the ease in which they grew from friends to lovers was natural and the pacing was perfect. From the moment Brooke and Moss commence their 'fake' relationship to attend Brooke's grandmother's birthday party, there is non stop laughter, heart and heat between them. Their feelings are growing and they are unable to resist the pull to one another. Brooke had some family drama to overcome and I totally swooned over Moss' unwavering encouragement of Brooke, and always being in her corner even when her own family could not be bothered. I loved the introductions to Moss' Brothers. They were a lot of fun, and am eager to learn more about them in upcoming books in the series. If you like contemporary romance, that is realitively low angst with funny, emotional, dynamic characters that will capture you from beginning to end this is the story to pick up. Lance Greenfield voices the character of Moss. His rich baritone voice is always a favourite, and I easily fell for Moss listening to Lance deliver on his character's emotion, passion and vulnerabilities. I adore CJ Bloom and her fierce and strong delivery of Brooke. She is truly a joy to listen to and I thought together Lance and CJ brought this story and these characters to life beautifully.

Take Me by Ella Sheridan is unlike any other MFM ménage romance I have read before. It is an equally steamy and suspenseful story that gripped me from the very beginning.

Peyton is fiercely strong. From a young age her son was taken from her, and for five years she has never given up on finding him and getting him back safely. Peyton is strong and resilient. Her determination no matter the obstacles that stood in her way I admired.

Stella Hunter delivers a steamy emotional performance with Peyton’s character. Her voice embodies the strength of a young mom and I strongly connected with the many up’s and downs her character faces throughout the story.

Coming back to town to reunite with her son also means facing Gabe, whom Peyton has a long, complicated history. She and he both have many unresolved feelings to work through. But not only does Peyton have to face Gabe, she was not expecting her feelings for Sam, Gabe’s twin brother as well to complicate things even further.

Jason Clarke is always a pleasure to listen to but in this one his gruff, growly, protective nature was next level. His voice is captivating, and his ability to easily transition from one character to the next was phenomenally done. In addition to Gabe, he also voices a few of the side characters that I would characterize as the villains of the story and I had chills one moment, and was swooning the next.

Sam, Gabe’s twin brother is narrated Connor Crais. His performance was unexpected and I love how easily he portrays the loyal, sweet, protective brother. Sam is driven by his job as a police detective and is focused on busting a dangerous drug operation in the town.

Outside of the danger and mystery the storyline provides Sam, Gabe and Peyton’s relationship is scorching hot. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of steam this story provides. Their relationship may be unconventional but the intense heat and passion between them is undeniable and I couldn’t get enough.

Listening to this audiobook told in duet style was a real treat, and it was my first time hearing a MFM story done this way. I hope more will be done this way in the future as it really enhances the story and listening experience. Ella could not have chosen a better cast of narrators to deliver this fantastic story! Highly recommend.

Dark and suspenseful arranged marriage mafia romance!

Hidden Truths is a dark, arranged marriage, greek mafia romance written by the phenomenal duo Nikki Ash and K. Webster. I am a HUGE fan of these two authors individually and paired together they are just as fantastic as I knew they’d be! I am going to need more from them asap! From the moment I began listening I was riveted by this dark and dangerous mafia world. The emotion, suspense and mind blowing twists I never saw coming were endless and kept me guessing from start to finish.

Talia is preparing to join her boyfriend on a summer vacation when she is told by her family that she is moving to Greece and being forced into an arranged marriage as part of payment towards a debt her fathers owes. She tries to fight it at first but soon realizes there is not much she can do to stop it from happening, but Talia isn’t going to accept her new life so easily either.

Kostas has been groomed all his life by his father to take over as head of the family. He believes in his father, who has taught him what he believes loyalty and love look like only to have his world rocked when a passive family secret is revealed and he finds out all that he believed most of his life was based on nothing but lies. Kostas is struck by Talia’s beauty and the more time he spends with his soon to be wife the more he grows attached to her. He doesn’t expect her sassy mouth and brazen attitude, nor his growing feelings for her. If only he could stop his enemies from attacking.

Hidden Truths is book one of a duet so I was prepared for a cliffhanger but what I was not prepared for, was the grip these characters would have on my heart. I am eager to read Talia and Kostas’ conclusion in Stolen Lies as soon as possible!

Sarah Puckett and Jeffrey Holz are both talented narrators that brought Talia and Kostas alive with their animated and suspenseful story telling. I enjoyed every moment of their performances and look forward to hearing more of them in the future.

Beautiful Game by Lainey Davis is the fifth book in her Stag Brothers Series. It can be read/listened to standalone. I am intrigued by the other characters stories but didn’t feel lost or confused by not having read their stories previously.

Hawk is a professional soccer player, he is new in Pittsburgh as he has been recently traded. He is adjusting to a new team, and a new city and newly found siblings. Lucy is a single mom, and leaving an abusive relationship. Her priority is her and her son’s safety. She has started a new job as the fitness coach. Hawk and Lucy had fantastic chemistry. For Lucy she cannot allow her heart to get too involved due to her history with her ex and the forbidden element that she and Hawk work together. I loved Hawk’s persistence with Lucy. He was patient, protective and didn’t give up easily on Lucy’s resistance to more with him. He had such an adorable relationship with her son, and I loved the support he found amongst his brothers.

I was pleasantly surprised by the level of emotion in this book. Knowing it was a sport romance I didn’t expect this at all, and loved this aspect.

Nikola Muckajev told both male and female points of view and while it surprised me at first, I adjusted quickly and think he did a good job changing his pitch and range to differentiate the male and female roles. His voice is sexy and smooth and kept me engaged and connected to the storyline.

I look forward to more by both this author and narrator.

Scorching hot chemistry!

Last Resort is a steamy, heartfelt story that I devoured and loved.  Sutton and Callahan's chemistry was instant and scorching hot from the moment they meet. Neither have any intention on seeing the other again after one steamy hookup, but their paths were about to cross again much sooner than either of them thought, as Callahan is part owner of Sharpe International. The company Sutton has just been hired to consult on a new project.

As we are introduced to Sutton, she is coming out of an toxic relationship. She has lost her confidence, her way and ability to put herself first. However, she is a strong and courageous woman, and recognizes this and wants better for herself. She is intelligent, driven and career-focused. I also admired her tenacity and strength.

What I loved about Callahan is his persistency. He is a big catalyst in getting Sutton back to her true self. The confidence she gained is immeasurable and I loved her growth so much. Callahan has never been a one-woman man, and is thrown off by how drawn to Sutton he is. I loved seeing him fumble through his feelings as the pull to Sutton became stronger and stronger. As the two begin working together, the build-up and intensity of their attraction to one another was fantastic. They know they should not be together and should keep their relationship to a professional level but the pull is just too hard to fight. I loved their banter and how cohesively they worked together in their work setting as well as romantically.

Last Resort was an excellent start to the S.I.N. Series. This new series will feature three identical triplets in each book, and I am already looking forward to the next brother to get his HEA.

Audiobook Narration- after reading an ARC of this book I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to hear the story again narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter. Stella was the perfect voice for Sutton. She delivers a flawless emotional performance emphasizing the many layers to her characters feelings as she is on this journey of discovering herself again. I loved Aaron as Callahan as well. He has a gruff sexy growl that is pleasing to the ear during those steamy scenes, but can also deliver on his characters vulnerabilities that brings a deeper level of emotion. I loved it and highly recommend the audiobook!

Till it Hurts is a heartbreakingly beautiful second chance/sports romance. I loved Jace and Tori’s young love story. They captured my heart right from the beginning and didn’t let go until the end.

Their reconnection, was painful and heartbreaking to work through and their journey to find forgiveness within each other was not easy, but so incredibly worth all they went through in the end.

The narration by Aaron Shedlock and Vanessa Edwin was fantastic. Their voices are engaging and captivating! Aaron’s portrayal of Jace was perfection. I love the emotion and passion in his every word and Vanessa’s portrayal of Tori was outstanding. These two were the perfect voices to bring Jace and Tori to life!
