Story
Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner. Hold up! I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances.

Raine & Graham
Reviewed: 04-19-24
I had such great fun listening to Graham and Raine. Joel Leslie did such a wonderful job pulling me into their story. Raine had a wonderful sun-shiney disposition where you couldn’t help but love him right away. Cue Graham, who is fourteen years older, and worlds grumpier than Raine. I enjoyed the connection these two wound up sharing. They appear to be opposites in all the ways, but they just worked together! This was a sweet, sexy, and fun listen!

Story
High school librarian Niall Harper has always done the right thing. Except be true to himself. Divorced and raising his teenaged son, Niall is dismayed to discover the new football coach is none other than his long-ago Friday night fantasy and nemesis. Not that it matters—Keller doesn’t remember him. It’s nothing new; Niall has always been easy to forget. Now Keller wants to be friends. And more. Niall can’t deny the annoying man makes him laugh and feel things he’d only dreamed possible. But would a player like Keller be satisfied with a regular guy like him?

Reviewed: 04-04-24
Love! I absolutely loved this small town romance. So much so, I had to listen on audio as well. Felice Stevens does a fantastic job picking her narrators to voice her characters. Blake Lockheart did a fantastic job drawing me into a story I had already read and loved. He brought all the feels with these two closeted men finding each other and their happiness. I adored Keller, he was a bright ray who loved what he found himself doing as he settled back in his hometown - coaching high school football. He brought a smile to my face more than a few times and was a guy you couldn’t help rooting for. Niall also works at the high school, and his son plays for Keller. Niall is none too happy to have Keller back in his life, even though Keller is oblivious to Niall’s past hurts. Keller’s presence brings back all the past feelings of bullying that Keller’s former teammates used to inflict upon him. I appreciated Keller’s doggedness in trying to get Niall to open up to him and tell him why he had so much animosity towards him. I enjoyed their slow fall into friendship and into more. Keller was so patient with Niall as he explored his sexuality, and I loved the firsts that Niall shared with Keller. I loved their chemistry and their connection. There was so much character build up of each of these men, and those who were most important to them, that you couldn’t help but get drawn into their story and the unfortunate drama that reared its ugly side. I loved the support they received when they needed it most. While their story was slow to develop, I couldn’t put it down. Do yourself a favor and block out some you time to listen (or read) this in one sitting! This was a wonderful story and I couldn’t recommend it more!

Harley: What happens when the most successful boy band on the planet breaks up? How about 20,000 fans screaming my name. But the price of fame comes with an increased risk to my safety. I've been avoiding the dreaded B word for as long as I can, but after a close call with a rambunctious fan, I can't do it anymore. It's time to give in. I need to hire a full-time bodyguard. And when he shows up, he not only screams badass, he's another B word I try to stay away from: boyfriend material.

Harley & Brix
Reviewed: 01-30-24
Iggy Toma continues to be one of my go-to narrators because he brings the characters I love to life so well. He continued his fantastic narration in Pop Star. I loved Harley and Brix’s story! When we first met Harley in “Hat Trick” from the Fake Boyfriend series, I knew we needed his story! I’m so glad Eden delivered on that! Harley came off as a bit of a jerk in the past, but he totally redeemed himself in my eyes! I loved his caring nature, and laid back attitude. Brix was such a softy, and quite the smarty pants, behind his Kevlar exterior. I love how he would get Harley to relax and take time for himself. Their story had it all - laughs, chemistry, sexy times, stalkers, action and an epic Nerf Gun battle! I can’t wait to see where this series goes!

Fantastic Series!
Reviewed: 01-30-24
I read this series when they first came out, and I really enjoyed them. I was excited to see these available as a complete collection and dove right in! 35 hours later, Wyatt Baker had me loving the stories just as much the second time around. Wyatt did a fantastic job bringing each character to life and it was a great joy to revisit everyone. Now for those stories...
Bite Me was our first story, and I've only grown to love enemies to lovers more each year. Clashing from first sight, Miles and Evan had a bumpy road to finding not only their co-existence is a working relationship, but also their HEA. Both were so strong-willed neither wanted to concede an inch on where they thought the direction of their work should go. It was a constant power struggle between them, which made the sparks fly. Their sexual tension was just as strong as their will. If you like strong willed men, delicious sounding desserts, and snarky chefs this is the read for you!
Catch Me was our second story featuring Ryan and Wyatt, and highlighting their story were two of my favorite tropes. Fake boyfriend and athletes are always on the top of my reading list and I loved that their story combined the two. I loved the insecurities they each brought to their arrangement, and watching their walls crumble as they fell for each other was wonderful. Wyatt’s love for his Nana, and Ryan’s closeness with his Aunt Flor really showed the compassion that each of them brought to their relationship. That epilogue truly gave me all the feels and left me a bit misty eyed.
Savor Me brought us Xander and Damon’s story, and it truly gave me ALL the feels. I admit I got pretty teary eyed at parts, along with the “oh no” stomach drop. These last couple books I’ve been intrigued by the snarling Xander and we get to know his story and why he holds himself back and is so snarky. I loved the chemistry between Xander and Damon, who was just beginning to explore his long-known bi-sexuality.
Indulge Me is the final book with Kian and Chef Aquino’s HEA, and it was everything I hoped it would be! I’ve been intrigued with Kian and Bastian’s story from the beginning. There was so much struggle between Kian and Bastian and making their relationship work. So many moving parts between their professional relationship and a potential personal one. Once you thought they were making headway in their relationship, their strong personalities got in their way. I honestly couldn’t see how their personal relationship was going to survive their professional one. I was kept on my toes trying to see how their HEA was going to happen. This was a great story to end a fantastic series. I could recommend this book, or the series more!

Dylan Mitchell wants to get married. However, after seven years of being engaged, that’s looking slightly doubtful. After going through ten wedding planners, they’re gaining a reputation somewhat akin to Henry the Eighth on the wedding circuit. Gabe has vetoed symbolic dove releases, forests of flowers, fire-eating performers, and puce as a wedding color. He’s confounded an army of wedding professionals, and now Dylan, the man who knows and loves him better than anyone, has joined the ranks of the confused. Can anything please his fiancé and get them to the altar?

I adored this! Joel Leslie’s wonderful narration takes us back where it all began with Lily’s men with Gabe and Dylan getting married (finally)! It was great fun revisiting these two, as well as the other guys we’ve come to know through the Mixed Messages series. I loved the snark and wit throughout. And the wedding planners! Such hilarity! The first impression of Joe was fantastic and had me laughing out loud. This was a true love story the fans of Gabe and Dylan and I finished reading with a smile on my face!

Time is short. Quaid has less than three months to plan the wedding of his dreams. A wedding that happens to land two days before Christmas. Don’t be fooled. It is not a Christmas wedding—at least not if Quaid has anything to say about it. The wedding binder is fat and the list of things that need to be done is long, so when the department decides to implement a mandatory team-building Secret Santa event that will take up every one of Quaid’s available Saturdays, he is livid. There is no time for nonsense on his tight schedule.

A Fairy Tale Wedding
Reviewed: 12-25-23
Swoon! I had the absolute best time reading Quaid and Aslan’s wedding story. This quickly hit audio narrated by Nick J Russo and I was quick to revisit! Their wedding was fit for a fairy tale prince, and I couldn’t have imagined Quaid’s wedding any other way. Aslan was adorably supportive to Quaid through his anxiety and general Quaid-ness through wedding planning process, truly proving these two were each other’s soul mates. I loved getting to know Ruiz more as he stood as Quaid’s best man, and getting to know more about Torin as well. As with each book, I love these characters more and more each time! Their wedding was an amazing and fabulous affair, filled with love, friends and family. Nick did an amazing job of bringing this wedding to life. I could feel all those emotions that Aslan and Quaid were experiencing. It truly was a wonderfully emotional narration of a beautiful wedding for two amazing characters so many of us have come to love. Make sure you grab a box of Kleenex as you approach the ceremony, because I promise you’re going to need it!

Great Conclusion
Reviewed: 12-15-23
Gah! I've been waiting very impatiently for the second half audio of this amazing duet! I’d read this before, but Nick J Russo, sucked me right back into Anson and Bishop’s story! He did such an amazing job bringing all the emotions of Bishop facing the outside world after so many years of prison life. He really conveyed Bishop’s bewilderment of the world around him; as well as Anson’s frustration of Bishop not being treated like the free and innocent man he was. This was an amazing conclusion to Bishop and Anson’s story. It was such an emotional rollercoaster. I found myself tearing up throughout his story. Nicky James always makes me feel her characters and this was no exception. I could feel Bishop’s pain of re-entry and discrimination throughout. My heart truly ached for this innocent man who was trying to rebuild his life. In turn, Anson was facing his own problems; being shunned and mistreated at work for being gay, trying to be patient with Bishop and not understanding why Bishop wasn’t ready to go right out the gate. Watching these two men grow together, find each other, and find comfort in their love made for an amazing read. I wanted to race to the finish to see how their story unfolded, and at the same time I wanted to savor this amazing journey Nicky spun for us. Bishop and Anson will pull at your heartstrings in the best ways, and deliver a HEA that is so well deserved. I know that Bishop and Anson’s story will linger with me for a long time. I couldn’t recommend this story more.

Leo & Killian
Reviewed: 11-30-23
Wow!! This was an amazing action packed story and I absolutely loved Leo and Killian’s story! When the audio was released I was so excited to relive their story, and it did not disappoint. I was sucked in from the start and my heart was racing by the time I finished the first chapter! Nick J Russo did a great job in bringing these two, and the rest of the rail riding crew, to life! Killian and his friends who came together by rail riding and made a found family. The group came across Leo running for his life, and took him under their wing. No one more so than Killian. I was pulled right into their immediate friendship and chemistry. I loved the way Killian took care of Leo and how present he was for him when he needed him most. I was so there for the way their relationship developed. It was organic and swoony and made me smile. I felt their connection immediately and I loved how open they were with each other. I loved how the group rallied together to get through some heart stopping scrapes! I was so drawn into the action I found myself wondering how they were going to get out of some pretty sticky situations. I had no idea about rail riding before reading this book. Nicky did such an amazing job painting the picture of rail riding that by the time I was done I felt like I could catch my own train! I know I will never look at a freight train on a railroad crossing the same again! I loved getting to know all the friends in this story. The amazing sense of friendship created here was wonderful to read! I know there are some amazing stories behind these friends, I can’t wait to learn them all!

Straining my groin is bad enough. It puts my hockey career, my future, but even worse, my dignity on the line. Having to get massages in that area from Vance Landon, one of the team trainers, is mortifying. It’s impossible to hide my feelings toward him. If my constant blushing and bumbling doesn’t give it away, my body does. It’s getting to the point where I wonder if hockey is even worth the embarrassment. Trying to avoid him only makes him seek me out more. He’s determined to rehab my injury, but all I want is for him to leave me alone.

Quinn!!!!
Reviewed: 11-28-23
Gah! I think my face still hurts from smiling after listening to Quinn and Vance’s book! Iggy Toma and Alexander Cendese continue to bring it with each Puckboy they narrate. They drew me into the story, as always, and nailed it until the end. I was so looking forward to getting to know Ayri Quinn and as usual Eden and Saxon did not disappoint. Getting to know Ayri also came with more Asher Dalton and I was so there for that. If possible I loved Asher more than I did before, and Quinn became a new favorite. Asher was merciless in his teasing of Quinn’s crush on Vance, their hockey trainer, and poor Quinn was adorably mortified of Vance and his healing hands. Vance for his part took Quinn’s rambling incoherence and avoidance in stride, until he finally put his foot down on getting Quinn’s groin pull healed. It was great fun with Vance learning of Quinn’s crush and those two adorably dancing around each other. Within all that we are treated to more of The Queer Collective, which was as amazing as you’d expect. We had fantastic cameos from Ezra and Anton, Aleks and Gabe, Foster and Zach and even West. Vance was absolutely adorable in his unwavering support of Quinn and his quest to heal, but also return to the hockey machine he was. His tolerance of all things hockey superstition was great fun, and I couldn’t help but love how he rolled with it all. I loved seeing Quinn and Vance find their HEA together and I’m so excited to know there is more in this series!

Joe and Lachlan’s story is a second chance love story that happens in both the past and present. Narrated by Joel Leslie who does a wonderful job spinning the tale of their meeting, hookups and quickie wedding in Vegas. Cue the misunderstandings and miscommunication as they move in and begin their life together. Joe decides to throw in the proverbial towel and finds himself in a forced proximity situation down the road with Lachlan. What ensues are some uncomfortable situations and tough choices on where they go from here. This is a good second chance romance with forced proximity tossed in, all told with a wonderful narrator who kept me engaged throughout.
