Story
When the light-magic users known as Casters took everything from me, I vowed to make them pay. Little did I know the perfect opportunity would show up in the form of a sweet Caster the moment I took his arrow to the heart…literally. Bastian knows that I’m made of dark magic, the very thing he’s been taught to destroy. But instead of turning away from me, he takes a chance on me, leading me behind the walls of the group out to kill me.

Great development
Reviewed: 23-11-24
I listened to this audio without reading other reviews as I love Alice winters and Greg. After listening and reading other reviews I needed to put my thoughts out there! I agree with others that Andras snark in the beginning felt too much and I was initially concerned that if he was the main love interest that it would hard to get into it because it isn't a likeable snark.......but......that's actually what I enjoyed most about this book, the character development, finding out about their past and why they are the way they are. The plot doesn't have you on thr edge of your seat, but its complex and intriguing and in no way did I guess ANYTHING before it happened which is a first. The books ends with a HFN so im jumping into to book 2 immediately!

This collection of short stories was so good! I was worried it would be ALL spice, but its so much more. seeing how the couples relationships are developing is beautiful but the platonic relationships (wynn & Moth) were such fun to listen too,, and don't get me started on the "Elf Thing"! I laughed right through that story :-)
As always the narration was SUPREME!

Story
I yearn to be submissive, both in and out of the bedroom. There's nothing I crave more than being under the control of another man. Handing over power would fulfill a need I feel down to the marrow of my bones. What I don't know is how to get it. This kind of relationship requires complete trust - something I don't give to anyone except my only friend. Then along comes Dr. Aidan Kingsley. For the third time in my life, he helps me, without even knowing it, and someone like that, I can't help but believe in. This is the man I'm meant to be on my knees for. Aidan is meant to be my Sir.

my first Sir/Boy book
Reviewed: 10-02-24
I've listen to a few books that have a Daddy / Boy relationship and thought this would be similar, but its quite different, the level of Dom/sub and how involved it is in every aspect of their relationship, not just the bedroom was intriguing. The sex was hot and made up ALOT of the book, but it carried the whole story forward too. I listened for 9hr 40mins straight, so yeah, I enjoyed!

The only decent thing my high school bully ever did for me got him sent to prison. Aidan was a jerk, but he saved me from making the worst mistake of my life, and in return, my parents ruined him. Now that he's out, I'm determined to make amends. No matter what he needs, no matter how long it takes, I will make it all up to him. But first I'll have to figure out how to hide my attraction to my sexy, confusing new roommate.

I found this author through the vino & veritas series and thought I would give this a shot. First time listening to this narrator too!
Absolutely loved it, heart breaking circumstances, well rounded characters and HEA. Sex scenes aren't super steamy but more realistic for the first time/age of characters and don't feel just put in there for the sake of smut!
I will definitely be listening to the nest in the series

I'm not the obvious choice to run Burlington's coolest wine bar - quiet, brooding, clueless about tannin content, and always one wrong turn away from another downward spiral. But no one seems to mind that I'm a wreck. Besides me. I just focus on getting through each shift until the night a beautiful stranger appears, looking as lost and damaged as I feel.

Good but..
Reviewed: 17-11-23
Like other reviews have said, the narration , particularly the cornish accent when spoken in the Tanner chapters, was just wrong. (definitely more Irish)
Now, I can deal with and accent being off, but when you have dual narrators, giving the same characters a completely different voice, thats when it ruins a book.
I have no idea how recording audio books happens, but it feels like no one took the time to listen to these two narrator's side by side/chapter by chapter and say, look this isn't working. disappointing.
The story itself is good, always happy with a HEA, but won't be listening again.

Story
When a strange woman shows up outside our camp in the Wastes with monsters chained up to her RV, it feels like I’m the only one who actually wants to help them. That big, grey-skinned monster with the cage on his head and the chain hanging from his back—something is telling me I need to help him. I need to free him. But I have absolutely no idea how I’m supposed to do that, especially when he can’t even talk to me to tell me how. Collector Mary is finally leaving our camp to head back to her monster menagerie, so I do the only thing I can think of to help him: I go with her.

Gloam & Rig
Reviewed: 17-08-23
Another great book in the series! I enjoyed the beginning where you get a decent amount of crossover from the previous book, The Ryke, seeing things from Rig's POV. I had read reviews of this book (written version) saying the internal struggles/fears Rig has are repetitive/boring, but I didnt feel that way. Rig is scared, that's his character, and he pushes through some awful things but his character doesn't suddenly change. it's one of the things I like most about the monstrous series. you see character development without a complete 180 on their personality.
As always, the universe development is amazing. The sex scenes are different enough to be monster sex yet still hot lol.
Michael lesley is one of my top 3 narrators and he smashed it out of the park again. I've yet to be disappointed by him.
Need the next audio soon please!

Finn is smart, adorkable, and his shyness pushes all my buttons. The problem? My interest in him quickly shifts from friendship to something less than platonic. Feelings I’ve been pushing down for years bubble up to the surface, and I find myself unable to see him as just a friend or keep my hands to myself. When a night out leads to some extracurricular fun, Finn and I decide to have a no-strings-attached fling. He’s the perfect person to explore my bisexuality with, and our chemistry is off the charts.

I don't usually enjoy dual narrators and have struggled in the past with other books. These guys work really well together, matching tones, so there is no jarring change between chapters. I would definitely listen to these 2 together again.
The story was sweet with no angst or miscommunication. The mature scenes were hella hot but felt appropriate for college age guys exploring. Will be keeping in ny library for an easy listen again one day.

Not walkers best
Reviewed: 23-06-23
I have listened to a lot of N R Walker books and I usually enjoy the low angst romance but this book really fell short. The 2 MC seemed to meet and decided they were made for each other before they'd even been on the first date but I just didn't see how that happened. Maybe the tone of the narrator didn't help sell it. Unlike other N R Walker books, I won't be listening to it again and I won't be listening to the second book in the series (first time I've turned down a sequel, but I really don't care what happens to these 2 MCs, sorry)

Adorable
Reviewed: 01-06-23
I am thoroughly enjoying the Monstrous series. although the premise of each book is the same, ie man and monster fall in love, each character and relationship are very different. Danny and Wyns relationship is just adorable and sweet and getting to see it from Wyns POV was great.
As the blurb says, this is a low-angst novella. it is just about their relationship, no big plot surrounding it, just a perfectly enjoyable love story.
Michael lesley's narration, the voice of Wyn, omg, its fantastic. I will be re-listening to the book ALOT because I just love this voice rumbling out of my headphones!

For decades, Brendan Lau has swept the Hollywood scene as an openly gay actor starring in romantic films—but now, at fifty-one, he's losing out on roles to younger actors. And when he's passed over as the hero in a period film and instead cast as the father, it's less his reputation and more his pride that can't take the insult. But when he confronts the younger actor who stole his part, he walks in on Cillian Tell struggling to fend off the director's unwanted advances.

Reviewed: 04-05-23
This is the 3rd book in the undue arrogance series but it is a stand alone story.
Firstly I want to say Joel Leslie is one of my favourite narrators but I did find the first 2 chapters a bit....rushed? aggressive? not sure, but I am SO GLAD I stuck with it because, as usual, Cole Maccade has given us another M/M romance that gives you all the feels! I loved every character and as always I love seeing how the author sees power dynamics, amazing. I am only stopping long enough to write this review and then I will be pressing play and listening again!
I will say here because apparently audio books don't advise of trigger warns the way written books do. There is a "non con" kink and a scene of attempted assault. I knew this going in, and I was a little hesitant, but the book addresses these scenes and the emotions so well I needn't have worried.
