Review at AudioGals

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Strong Enough by Melanie Harlow & David Romanov, narrated by Joel Leslie & Bruce Cullen. The relationship felt a little unbalanced and I got impatient with one of the heroes.

Review at Dear Author

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.

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.

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.
