I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Tycoon by Katy Evans, narrated by Elizabeth Louise & Sebastian York. I didn’t like it.
Why I read it: One of my friends rated this one very highly and it was only 99c so I bought it.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) Letters are magic, don’t you think?
You could be anyone. I could be anyone.
And then, suddenly, we’re more than anyone.
We’re someone…
When Abigail Trent agreed to write a letter to a soldier deployed overseas, she expected it to be a fleeting exchange. A friendly back-and-forth that ended barely after it began. She didn’t expect Theodore LaRoux.
It isn’t strange that writing feels so good. It’s right.
Here’s my secret: I like making you feel good…
Abby didn’t expect Roux to be a living fantasy, either–sexy, smart and strong enough to star in every one of her dreams.

After all, it’s not like they’d ever meet…right?

What worked for me (and what didn’t): I do have a soft spot for an epistolary romance. (This novella isn’t only letters but they form a fair chunk of the story.) I did like the book but there were a few things I had to get over.
In seven tours of Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army medic, Special Forces operator and commanding officer, Sergeant Theodore LaRoux knew the drill.
Sergeants aren’t commanding officers. There may be other errors as well – I only checked that one. Roux’s military history didn’t sound right. If accuracy and authenticity is important to a reader, Written On His Skin is probably not going to work that well. Continue reading
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely, narrated by Jesse Metcalfe & Grace Grant. Fun novella length romance with a guest narration from actor Jesse Metcalfe. Stud Finder is also part of the #AudibleRomance package.
I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin. A quirky fabulous delight.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of The Corner of Forever and Always by Lia Riley, narrated by Greyson Ash and Douglas Berger. A charming small town contemporary with a touch of fairy tale magic.
