Read-along & #Giveaway: Steel’s Edge by Ilona Andrews @ilonaandrews.bsky.social @reneeraudman @recordedbooks.bsky.social @acebookspub.bsky.social @tantoraudio.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @nyliterary.bsky.social #Read-along #GIVEAWAY #LoveAudiobooks @ilonaandrews @AceBooksPub @AudibleStudios @TantorAudio @nyliterary

A worthy, gritty task- thwarting human traffickers- and an equally challenging opportunity at romance awaits stern, disciplined Richard Mar. I settled in to enjoy this last of the series. Though The Edge series are standalone paranormal romances, there are enough ties of characters and plot connecting the books for it to read best in […]

Jane Austen in Scarsdale by Paula Cohen Marantz #PaulaCohenMarantz @stmartinspress.bsky.social @sophiarose1816

A modern retelling of Persuasion set in Scarsdale, NY on a local high school campus gives readers an inside and humorous peek at the life of a high school guidance counselor who is brought face to face with the one she let go. I was curious with such a set up for a second chance […]

🎧 Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry #EmilyHenry @justjuliawhelan @penguinaudio.bsky.social @libro.fm #LoveAudiobooks @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio

Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are favorites and really bring characters and worlds to life. Great Big Beautiful Life in a way similar to other books is a character growth and love story.

🎧 Stone Cold by Devon Monk @devonmonk.com @PaulJBellantoni @tantoraudio.bsky.social @RobinBridgeFour #LoveAudiobooks @TantorAudio

You will either love or hate Shamus Flynn, the literal life vessel for death. In Hell Bent I asked myself, how many times can a guy get drugged, in Stone Cold I wondered how much more could Shamus spiral out of control. Stone Cold, the second book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to […]

A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge @colleengleason.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @colleengleason @KensingtonBooks

A fashion faux pas happens when Tabitha finds a body rather than a fabulous Haute Couture gown on her first visit to a Collection showing. Colleen Cambridge continues to wow me with her fun blend of real life personage Julia Child, post-WWII Paris, and her entertaining fictional characters and mystery plot. A Fashionably French […]

Strangers in Time by David Baldacci @davidbaldacci.bsky.social @grandcentralpub.bsky.social @davidbaldacci ‏@GrandCentralPub

I have enjoyed many books by David Baldacci. Most of them were in the mystery / thriller genre. He has recently written a few standalones which are historical fiction. Strangers in Time is set during World Ward II England and has three main characters who lose the people close to them. Mr. Oliver is a […]

🎧 Hell Bent by Devon Monk @devonmonk.com @PaulJBellantoni @tantoraudio.bsky.social @RobinBridgeFour #LoveAudiobooks @TantorAudio

Grim Reaper with a hangover is how this was explained to me and it kinda fits. Hell Bent is the first book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to Allie Beckstrom. I had not read the prior series at all but didn’t have any trouble following the story. I think I would have cared […]

Then there is an amateur private investigator from Kerry Greenwood. The books from Anna Willett are what I think […]
