This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series on audio which I have discovered and read over this past year. These are the ones which came to […]

🎧 Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood @EverSoAli @KarissaVacker @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

Ali Hazelwood is a genius when it comes to the Smart Romance genre. She doesn’t simply pay lip service to her subject, such as with a bio-physicist heroine that never actually does anything bio-physicist-y (yup, that is a word). The science she writes about is always an integral part of the story and the characters […]

🎧 Totality, Emergence by Kim Harrison @BurningBunnies @xesands ‏@AceRocBooks @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

I loved the continuation with the scientific aspects of learning about the Neighbors and August learning about the plants and animals on Earth. We are seeing things from Renee’s point of view, which is naturally more focused on the scientific wonder of this opportunity. We start to learn more about the political and business thoughts. […]

🎧 Icon and Inferno by Marie Lu @Marie_Lu @BeccaQCo @MacmillanAudio #RoaringBookPress @SnyderBridge4 #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

Icon and Inferno is the second book in the Stars and Smoke series. This is a fun spy type story taking a famous pop star and using him as cover to get into places that the Panacea group (Offshoot of the CIA) might not be able to get into. Winter and Sydney get a second […]

🎧 The Wayward Prince by Leonard Goldberg #LeonardGoldberg @SteveWestActor @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I have always loved Sherlock Holmes and The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries series lets me bask in that enjoyment. I really enjoy all the snart investigations and the setting in England. Plus the series is narrated by STEVE WEST. The excitement begins with the abduction of Prince Harry. Then we have the backstreet abortions. […]

🎧 Welcome to Beach Town by Susan Wiggs @susanwiggs @brit_pressley @avonbooks @WmMorrowBooks @HarperAudio @LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

This author continues to impress me with her life fiction with characters who struggle and grow and love, where everything does not go smoothly and joy can be found in unexpected places. These realistic and imperfect characters are so easy to love. The setup is classic with the haves and have nots at a elite […]

Rich Waters is the second book in the Jason Rich series. I got the first book Rich Blood as a first read from Prime. The books are available in Kindle Unlimited including audio. I would read the series in order for both the character developments and the changing issues in the small Alabama community. Jason […]

The estate seems almost haunted and alive with history and Saoirse is swept away in a diary she found, […]
