Not Guilty of Books

  I THINK THEY LOVE YOU by Julian Winters Release Date: January 28, 2025 Audio Release Date: January 28, 2025 Review An excellent audiobook by a new to me author and a tried and true narrator = fantastic combo. Narrator Andre Santana has a smooth voice and a talent for contemporary romance. The story itself was wonderful and really covered all the fells.  Touching, steamy, and cute. Fake dating your ex will always grab my attention.  I love second chances and fake dating so it’s a double win for me and these two really grabbed my attention.  They both wormed their way into my heart and my desire to see them make it to the end. Not to mention all the other characters who also popped and provided depth to the story. I will definitely be reading another book by Julian Winters.  Bonus points if he uses Andre Santana again.

  THE WITCH’S GRUMPY DRAGON Brinnswick: Tales from Gauhala - Book One by Michele Notaro Release Date: September 26, 2024 Audio Release Date: January 2, 2025 Review I have a serious love for dragons…especially grumpy ones. This is an excellent audiobook. Michael Lesley is thoroughly engaging and brings it to life.  I didn’t want it to stop. Garrick and Tan are such wonderful characters.  Garrick is a reclusive dragon King and it’s such a compelling backstory that brought him to this point. I can’t imagine what he’s lived through.  And I love Tan, such a great heart who sees the good even before he understands Garrick. The whole story is fascinating and as the story unfolds and more information is revealed you become obsessed with finding out how it ends. Because you will be ready to fight beside them for their happy ending. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I have never in my life met anyone as infuriating as that dragon.

  CRIMINAL INTENTIONS Criminal Intentions - Season One, Episode Four by Cole McCade Release Date: October 10, 2018 Audio Release Date: January 31, 2023 Narrator: Curt Bonnem Review Damn boys, get it together!  This story is full of tension more than the rest because there is more inner turmoil to go with it. Seong-Jae is having to go things alone while Malcolm recovers from his injuries under the care of his ex-wife (gah!).  And neither of them benefit from the distance. But there is always a case to provide them a bit of a distraction, otherwise, they would drive themselves insane with too much time to think. Here’s hoping they start to get their heads out of their butts soon!
