SINGLE MALT

Agents Irish and Whiskey - Book One

Release Date: August 31, 2023

Audio Release Date: May 28, 2024

Review

Layla excels at agent/mystery/suspense/action stories and Irish and Whiskey are compiling characters who face no shortage of high octane drama.


We meet Irish as he’s returning to work after an incident that put him the hospital and killed both his partner and his husband. And now he’s paired with a gorgeous, charming younger agent.


Needless to say it’s not all roses and sunshine, despite the draw between them. They are fire, in both the good and bad meaning of the word. You’ll swoon over Jamie, and want to care for Aiden. But ultimately you’ll want to read the next book, immediately.


The case will keep you engaged, and you’ll be completely invested in their relationship.


The audiobook is narrated by Christian Leatherman. It was a first by him for me. He’s very talented, great with the accents and the pacing. He made for highly enjoyable audio experience.

Synopsis

Jump into Layla Reyne’s fan-favorite Whiskey Verse saga with Single Malt, the first book in Aidan and Jamie’s swoony M/M romantic suspense trilogy.

FBI agent Aidan “Irish” Talley had it all until a harrowing car crash left him with a heap of survivor’s guilt and a hole in his heart where his happily ever after used to be. Aiming to fill the void, he returns to work—and to a new partner. Charming, smart, and athletic, Jamie is the last thing Aidan’s bruised heart needs.

Cyber agent Jameson “Whiskey” Walker joined the Bureau three years ago and has pined for Aidan ever since. Working with the Irish expat is a fantasy and a challenge, one Jamie intends to win by earning the surly older agent’s trust and respect.

Except there’s no time for team building when a hack on a high-security biocontainment facility spirals into a larger terrorist threat. With targets on their backs, Aidan and Jamie are forced to trust each other as they’re pushed to the explosive edge. Even then, it may not be enough to save the thousands of lives at stake, including their own.

Competent heroes, action-packed thrills, and high-stakes romance blend together in this adrenaline-fueled first book of three, now in its second edition with a new cover and formatting and extended content.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.
