AUDIO REVIEW: Starting from the Top by Lane Hayes (Starting From #5)

  STARTING FROM THE TOP Starting From  - Book Five by Lane Hayes Release Date: March 5, 2021 Audio Release Date: March 12, 2021 Narrator Michael Dean Review Such a great pairing. Both men are successful in their own right, but not uberly so. Just enough to provide some complications, but not enough to take it over. And I really enjoyed the development of their relationship. From acquaintance to casual to so much more. There was a natural progression to their romance, which I loved, especially as they navigated their feelings and those of Sean’s children. They both have things they need to work through and heal, and I love how they help each other through it, even when it’s hard. And Johnny was such a perfect addition to the family. Narrator Michael Dean delivers a wonderful performance. Capturing both characters beautifully.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis The guitarist, the dad, and a band on the rise....

REVIEW: Missile Tow by Michael Robert

  MISSILE TOW by Michael Robert Release Date: November 27, 2025 Review A truly lovely holiday romance. A year after their boyfriends up and leave them for someone else, Chip and Van are ready to move on, they just didn’t necessarily know that until they met. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was the universe. Chip finally comes alive again after a year of being a shell of a man when Van crashes into his life is the town of Missile. With Christmas on the horizon, a snowstorm to keep them snuggled away, and some meddling townfolk to keep things lively, love is in the air. There’s plenty of opportunity to heal in this story, and to choose who you want to be.  Van was a little too ‘peace, love and happiness’ at times, but otherwise their journey was wonderful. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis The hopeful spirit of the holidays. Messages from beyond. Coincidences too obvious to ignore. These are reasons to believe in the magic of Christmas. But can two men, both born...

  THE BAIRWICK WITCHES Haunted Hearts Season of the Witch by Eric David Roman Release Date: October 22, 2025 Review I have to say I quite enjoyed this spicy, fun story.

  EMERY Unexpected - Book Three by Cora Rose  Release Date: June 27, 2022 Audio Release Date: February 14, 2023 Narrators: Liam DiCosimo & Alexander Cendese Review Emery is chaos personified! And August…lovely August. He’s the ultimate people pleaser. Unable to put his happiness above that of others. Always reliable and steady. It’s an emotional story with plenty of light-hearted moments as well. They both have their baggage, which an incident leading forced proximity forces out into the open. Allowing the two step-brothers to finally understand each other better.  Their journey is sweet, but a little rocky. But with each of them balancing the other out, they are something beautiful. Narrators Liam DiCosimo & Alexander Cendese do an amazing job and really capturing the two men’s personalities, as well as all the emotions they went through.
