🎧 Funny Story by Emily Henry #EmilyHenry @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @justjuliawhelan @PRHAudio @Librofm #LoveAudiobooks

Emily Henry’s stories related by Julia Whelan really hit the feelings for me.  Funny Story started as not at all funny but heartbreaking. The outcome was ironic, not humorous funny.  With only a week to find somewhere to live, Daphne ends up with the ex-fiancé (Miles) of her ex-fiancé’s (Peter) new fiancé (Petra).  Uh, yeah. […]

🎧 I’m With Her by Sarah Zangrich Jeng @sarahzj @jessevnyc @LouisaXZhu @AceRocBooks @PRHAudio @BerkleyPub #LoveAudiobooks

I expected a bit more of a technical scifi aspect.  There wasn’t too much on the technology.  I’m With Her is much more a psychological thriller. One young woman, Elizabeth, is confidant and used to having her way because of her beauty.  Mary is by no means ugly but lacks confidence and is more interested […]

Well this was sort of a surprise and I LOVED it.   It really highlighted the difference between science and military / politics of things.  This Eclipsed Evolution series is a view into aliens visiting Earth as their own planet is dying. The trilogy is initially being released on audio first. The audio is short and […]

🎧 Happily Never After by Lynn Painter @LAPainter  #HelenLaser @SeanPatrickHop @BerkleyRomance @PRHAudio @Librofm #LoveAudiobooks

I can always count on Lynn Painter for snappy, forthright dialogue and interesting concepts.  In this case, having an objector at the wedding when one of the party is a cheater.  It makes it feel more like it is not the non-cheater’s fault, as though they are an innocent victim rather than an accuser.  I […]

The continuation of the Cara Kennedy series is something I was very excited to read.   City Under One Roof introduces us to Cara as a new widow, struggling to put herself together and get answers.  The setting of Point Mettier, Alaska with its one big building and so many interesting characters was well developed. […]

The Catch by Amy Lea @amyleabooks  #KelseyNavarroFoster @Berkley @Berkley Pub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I liked the characters in The Catch, eventually.  At first, they felt like caricatures which were ridiculous, rather than real people, playing roles instead of feeling like banter.   As they connected more as people, and talked to each other, it felt less like a performance and more like real life. It also seemed like even […]
