🎧 Deep End by Ali Hazelwood @EverSoAli #TheresePlummer @holtzmuller @penguinaudio.bsky.social @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

🎧 Deep End by Ali Hazelwood @EverSoAli #TheresePlummer @holtzmuller @penguinaudio.bsky.social @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I really enjoy the STEM aspects of the romances by Ali Hazelwood.   Deep End has two other aspects. First, the main character Scarlet is a competitive athlete at the college and Olympic level, as is her love interest.  Second, she and her partner are both fans of BDSM.  I have read much more dark BDSM […]

The Empyrean series continues and I’m not even going to try to avoid spoilers for previous books.  The story and characters are highly entertaining and provide a dramatic, emotional tale.   Violet and Xaden are special snowflakes but they have some admirable qualities and aren’t all about themselves.  They are frantically about each other, however. Rather […]

Dez is an interesting character with a lot of education and skills.  He has worked for various governments as a gatekeeper.  He is educated in physics and electrical engineering, but also by life’s experiences in various spots around the world.  His irreverent attitude is tied up in his own moral code.  He sometimes has compassion. […]

Murderer’s Creek by Lavonne Griffin-Valade #LaVonneGriffin-Valade @severnhouse @severnhouse.bsky.social #KindleUnlimited @sophiarose1816

Murderer’s Creek by Lavonne Griffin-Valade #LaVonneGriffin-Valade @severnhouse @severnhouse.bsky.social #KindleUnlimited @sophiarose1816

Last year, I followed a whim and read the first book in the series.  I enjoyed trying a new to me author and wished to continue with the series.  It took me a bit, but I finally got around to the next book.  LaVonne Griffin-Valade writes with a very descriptive style for local setting, investigation […]

🎧 Head Cases by John McMahon @johnmcmahonbooks @jwdamron @jwdamron.bsky.social @MacmillanAudio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

🎧 Head Cases by John McMahon @johnmcmahonbooks @jwdamron @jwdamron.bsky.social  @MacmillanAudio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

I love police procedurals and mysteries and mathematics and puzzles.  In Head Cases, we get a special FBI team which has odd skills who are particularly skilled at puzzles and pattern recognition.  The team is normally lead by Frank but now Gardner is having a chance to run the show since the case is very […]

Sunday Series: Joe Pickett by CJ Box @cjboxauthor #DavidChandler @RecordedBooks @recordedbooks.bsky.social #SundaySeries #LoveAudiobooks

Sunday Series: Joe Pickett by CJ Box @cjboxauthor #DavidChandler @RecordedBooks @recordedbooks.bsky.social #SundaySeries #LoveAudiobooks

  I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet.  So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series.   I have been wanting to read the Joe Pickett series for awhile after reading […]
