Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of A Duke By Default by Alyssa Cole. A lot to like but I stumbled over a couple of things.

Black woman with red/brown curly shoulder-length hairin a colourful dress of red, gold, orange and blue embraces a white man with short salt and pepper hair, wearing a gray tee and dark jeans.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Mr. Hotshot CEO by Jackie Lau. I connected with this book better than I did the first one. Note: the book contains discussion/themes of mental illness (depression) which may be triggering for some readers.

Profile view of a handsome Asian man with short dark hair, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt with no tie. The picture shows him from head to hips and appears to be taken from below, looking up.

Review at AudioGals

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Unbreak My Heart by Lauren Blakely, narrated by Joe Arden & Erin Mallon. Poignant romance featuring a man reconnecting with the love of his life while also dealing with grief from the loss of his beloved brother.

Shirtless hot guy leaning his forehead on his upraised forearm in a doorway (?), looking sadly off into the distance.

Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with Jayne reviewing Free Fall by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner. I loved the setting and the heroine was a delight.

Pale green/blue cover with a silhouette of a woman in a coat which ends just above the knee and a handbag and 1960s swinging hair, with a mini spaceship off to the bottom right, the titles and authors names in white with a star in the top right

Review at AudioGals

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of By the Book by Julia Sonneborn, narrated by Amy McFadden. I was a little bored actually and there wasn’t enough romance to satisfy.

A bicycle with a load of hardback books on a carrier behind the seat rests against a red door. It has nothing to do with the book!

July Round Up

Monthly Mini Review

A white man in his mid to late 20s stands against a door. He has short dark hair and is wearing a dark gray t-shirt and his arms are folded across his chest. Only his upper torso and head are visible.Marty and the Pilot by Harper Fox, narrated by Chris Clog – B- This book is part of the #AudibleRomance package. It’s my third Harper Fox book narrated by Chris Clog in a very short space of time (about 2 weeks and the last two were back to back). I’m definitely a fan of this narrator.  This book wasn’t quite the success of Priddy’s Tale and Driftwood – but it was nevertheless still worth my time. Marty and the Pilot isn’t quite a melancholy as the other two books I’ve listened to and as such it didn’t quite have the mood I enjoyed so much in the earlier two books. I also didn’t quite trust Devlin (Marty’s pilot) and the story was a bit too fast to entirely convince me he was in a place to really commit to a relationship. This is somewhat strange because Flynn (from Driftwood) was arguably more messed up but I believed him. Maybe it’s because Tom and Flynn were both messed up. Marty here is pretty much together. He likes himself and the life he’s built. He knows what’s important. In some ways, he’s a “Marty Stu” (and is perhaps very aptly named) but he doesn’t have the same journey that Devlin has.
