🎧 Airhead by Avery Flynn @averyflynn.com‬ @savannahpeachy #AidenSnow #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM @RobinBridgeFour  @AveryFlynn

Eighties nostalgia hit me hard in this one.  I fondly remember the days of great big hair, aqua net, answering machines and going out to the movies seeing Halloween on the big screen.  I had such a good time with going back in time in this book.  Since Airhead is the prequel book to The […]

🎧 The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten #CamillaSten #LauraJennings @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @minotaurbooks.bsky.social‬ #LoveAudiobooks  @MacMillanAudio #JIAM

I enjoy a mystery thriller sometimes and this sort where a party on an island gets cut off and then the bodies start dropping is a standard.  But the circumstances and characters make it all new.  The Bachelorette Party is a group of women in a bridal party going to a retreat on an island. […]

If I Told You, I’d Have to Kiss You by Mae Marvel ‪@ruthieknox.bsky.social‬ ‪@anniemare.bsky.social‬ @stmartinspress.bsky.social‬ @RuthieKnox @anniemare_books @StMartinsPress

If I Told You, I’d Have to Kiss You by Mae Marvel ‪@ruthieknox.bsky.social‬ ‪@anniemare.bsky.social‬ @stmartinspress.bsky.social‬ @RuthieKnox @anniemare_books  @StMartinsPress

I’m a long time fan of this author for their exceptional wordcraft.  The word choices evoke senses and emotions.  It’s a sensory feast to read their stories. If I Told You, I’d Have to Kiss You is a F/F romance. It is a stand alone in a group of standalones in this genre.  The descriptions […]

Her First Mistake by Kendra Elliot @KendraElliot ‪@snemethparker.bsky.social‬ ‏#MontlakeRomance #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM #KindleUnlimited🎧

Her First Mistake starts a new Noelle Marshall series in the same world as at least two other series. She works with Evan Bolton from the Columbia River series, which  is a mix of stories utilizing characters from some of the author’s other series or supporting characters. She was in a book as a side […]

The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older @m_older @older.bsky.social  @tordotcom @tordotcom.bsky.social

I have really been enjoying the Mossa & Pleiti series with two women normally in an academic setting mystery.   Mossa is an investigator who is good at her work, but very uncertain in social circumstance.  I’d almost say she is autistic but Pleiti also has the hesitation about things in their relationship.  Pleiti is an […]

Beneath the Burning Sea by Amanda Bouchet @amandabouchet.bsky.social @sourcebookscasa.bsky.social  @AuthorABouchet ‏@SourcebooksCasa

I read the trilogy which started the Kingmaker Chronicles series.  Cat and Griffin were the main characters there.   Now we are getting stories from the rest of Team Alpha.  I enjoyed the mythology, gods and creatures. I wanted to see what happened with the characters. In the novella, Of Fate & Fire, we learn about […]

🎧 Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts  #NoraRoberts @norarobertsauthor @justjanuary.bsky.social @stmartinspress.bsky.social @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @justjanuary @StMartinsPress @MacmillanAudio

Nora Roberts and January LaVoy are a favorite combination of excellent work. Romantic suspense is a favorite genre with the multiple emotional pulls from the romance and the suspense and thrill of the mystery.  Hidden Nature has many other great themes with families, home renovation work, good cooking, gardening, natural resource law enforcement and dogs.
