I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Dangerous Moves by Karen Rock, narrated by Teddy Hamilton & Callie Dalton. Solid narration couldn’t save this experience for me.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of A Rancher’s Song by Vivian Arend. Sweet and sexy and not quite what I was expecting.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Show Me by Abigail Strom, narrated by Cristina Panfilio. I adore Cristina Panfilio’s narrations. Plus there are astronauts!
Why I read it: I had this one on my TBR but hadn’t got around to reading it yet. Teddy Hamilton is a big draw for me on audio so it was a no-brainer.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) Last call! At the end of the night, a clean-cut hunk and a rebellious bartender act on their unlikely chemistry in this frisky standalone novel from the author of Eye Candy. Davis: I’ve had my eye on Grace Buchanan for a while now. Unlike the bubbly blondes I usually date, the feisty, flame-haired bartender both intrigues and bewilders me. Something about Grace – the tattoos? The nose ring? – makes every part of me sit up and beg. There’s only one problem: She hates me. Trading insults and one-liners has become our M.O. But when Grace bets me that I can’t get a date with a non-blonde if my life depends on it, I’m determined to prove her wrong by landing the ultimate non-blonde: her.
Grace: I’m used to regulars hitting on me, and I’ve turned them all down except for one: Davis Price. I like giving him a hard time, and he’s kind of cute in his suit and tie – if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyway, I don’t care how many blondes he takes home…until one of them sidles up to him in my bar. Nuh-uh. But after my little bet with Davis backfires, our first date lands us in the sack. So does the second. And the third. Neither of us wants more than the best sex of our lives. The trouble is, it’s not a question of what I want. It’s what I need. And what I need is Davis.
What worked for me (and what didn’t): I’ve heard great things about Jessica Lemmon books and I’ve bought a few but not managed to actually read them. (This isn’t uncommon. MOST of the books on my giant TBR will languish unread forever and ever unless I stumble across a time turner and live an extremely long life. And also if they stop publishing new books.) So when I saw Arm Candy in the Audible Romance package it was a nice opportunity to give her a try at little risk. Plus, I’ve recently become enamoured with Teddy Hamilton’s narrations and I was happy to have an excuse to listen to his voice in my ears again. I like Erin Mallon’s narrations too. But Teddy Hamilton’s voice has a sexy drawl which just does it for me.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Scoring with the Wrong Twin by Naima Simone. I don’t usually like books where one character is lying to the other for most of it but there are exceptions to every rule I guess. And the hero was super hot and swoony.
I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Someone To Care by Mary Balogh. I really liked it but was uneasy about an aspect of the story which I think will be controversial.
