Audio: Always the Last to Know by Kristan Higgins @Kristan_Higgins @xesands @amyrubinate #LauralMerlinton #GrahamWinton @RecordedBooks @BerkleyPub #LoveAudiobooks #GIVEAWAY #JIAM

I really enjoy the Life Fiction stories this author is writing. They are more authentic with more details and development of multiple characters than one finds in regular romance titles. But there is often romance in the story also. Always the Last to Know features a family with two daughters. They are authentic and flawed […]

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson @KwanaWrites @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub

I enjoy knitting and couldn’t miss reading a romance with a knitting shop. Real Men Knit was a fun romance with some great characters. I would have preferred a bit more of developing them, than some of the off-track internal thoughts of the two main characters, Jesse and Kerry. I also could have done with […]

Murder on Pleasant Avenue by Victoria Thompson @gaslightvt @BerkleyPub

I have been loving this Gaslight Mystery series. I started on audio but switched to ebook when the narrator changed after the first 8 or so books. They are so addictive, I read 9 books in one week! Then I was determined to catch up for the new release, Murder on Pleasant Avenue. There may […]

Fantastic Hope by Laurel K. Hamilton, Patricia Briggs, et al @LKHamilton @Mercys_Garage @monsterhunter45 @BerkleyPub

Fantastic Hope is a scifi fantasy anthology with stories which offer hope. In today’s odd world, these are welcome. There are only a few authors I have read previously, and only two stories with characters I already knew. I am not going to do an in depth review of all the stories but I would […]

Hidden Salem by Kay Hooper @KayHooper ‏@BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub

I have enjoyed this Bishop Special Crime Unit series for a long time. Sometimes the stories feature long known members of the team and some are completely new characters. With well known characters, there is the advantage of already knowing them and having better developed characters who then further progress. With new ones, it makes […]

Who Speaks for the Damned by C.S. Harris @csharris2 @BerkleyPub

In this latest, Sebastian learns of a new murder he needs to investigate when a scared, young boy comes to tell his valet, Jules Calhoun, that his friend, Hayes, has been killed. As usual, Harris pulls me into the heart of a new story that is more than a mystery so I can hardly put […]

Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams @LyssaKayAdams @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub

I’d heard nothing but good things about the Bromance Book Club series. For some reason, I didn’t totally connect with the main characters from the first book. But in Undercover Bromance, I found my people. I loved the feisty Liv with her farm life and her work as a pastry chef. She works hard, tries […]

The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams @LyssaKayAdams @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub

I’ve seen so many great reviews on The Bromance Book Club I decided I must read it! I had the eARC from Berkley and the audio from the library which I combined to read it. I do think the narration is always a plus for banter and adds to the emotional experience. I seem to […]
