  FRUITBAT by Micah Carver Release Date: October 15, 2024 Review Fruitbat was a delightful novella taking over the course of an evening that feels like it’s so much more. It’s got some great character development and it had a number of ‘ah’ moments where things slotted into place and I smiled because I love a story that keeps me guessing. Micah artfully navigates us through this sweet pairing. It’s a bit paranormal, perfect for the Halloween season, and a whole lot of cute.  Highly recommend this little tale. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis A sweet and spirited adult contemporary romance . . . with a twist. Si . . . It’s Halloween and my birthday. No one ever remembers that though. The party my friends wanted to throw became my responsibility again, but I just don’t have the bandwidth for it tonight, so I’m sneaking out to get some air. The grumpy shop clerk is lucky I’m there to help when he takes that gnarly fall and smashes his head on the shelf. Danny . . . I took this

  FINDING FINN Forever Love - Book Two by Charlie Novak Release Date: February 24, 2022 Audio Release Date: April 1, 2022 Review I love this whole universe. All the characters are wonderful, thoughtful, caring and loyal. And I adore the extended family that they create. Finn and Gem are equally special. BFFs finding love, supporting each other, helping the other achieve their best will always make me smile.  And Finn’s secret…heck ya! So good. Made even better listening to the story as an audiobook. Hearing it brought to life, especially by Dan Calley, was perfection.  There are some great themes to this. Including self-acceptance and finding someone who is invested in your success. Not to mention some delicious naughtiness. Did I mention Dan Calley is the narrator?! So damn good. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis What happens when a quiet boy with a secret falls for his best friend? Finn has always kept people at arm’s length. Being quiet and shy doesn’t get you many friend

AUDIO REVIEW: Hug It Out by Davidson King (Haven Hart #2)

  HUG IT OUT Haven Hart - Book Two by Davidson King Release Date: March 27, 2018 Audio Release Date: November 6, 2018 Review A professional cuddler and an assassin - how can you not want to read that?!! What’s better is that Teddy was hired to cuddle Riordan by his sister who thought he seemed down. Which was true, if only she knew why! I loved them both, and competence is totally a kink of mine.  Apparently, it doesn’t matter if that competency is in killing people or bringing love, care and touch to someone’s life. Swoon either way. While Riordan is questioning his career and how to move forward in life, he and the organization he works for are put to the test when traitors turn out to be in their midst and working against them. It’s a high-stakes story, tempered with some gentle kindness…and drama! Cuz loving an assassin with a conscience isn’t always easy. Narrators Philip Alces and Joel Leslie on their own are fantastic, together - chef’s kiss!  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK

REVIEW: The Neverloving Dead by Tal Frost (Haunted Hearts Series)

  THE NEVERLOVING DEAD Haunted Hearts Series by Tal Frost Release Date: October 14, 2024 Review “So maybe we can just enjoy ourselves, you know? Have weird sex and, I dunno, solve crimes. Together,” That quote pretty much sums up a perfect HEA.  Two ghosts, an unusual and intriguing way to gain energy, and a serial killer roaming the streets of London. This was a super interesting story with so many layers and intricacies. It was dark with some questionable morals but it was also passionate with a lovely ending.  Their path was tumultuous. Not just because Gethin was so angry about his death, but also his difficulty in understanding Patrick and his choices on how to ‘live’. But the journey was emotionally satisfying and really made you think big thoughts. Morals, existence, choices, religion…. I was definitely captivated. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis It all sounds so simple: help Gethin stop a serial killer. Then Gethin will leave him alone and go ‘on’ into death. And P
