So cute! There were two narrators, one male and one female, and they do a wonderful job playing the characters in the story. These characters are relatable for anyone and so fun to follow. They have their hardships, but you find yourself rooting for them and hoping for their happiness. Listen to this book if you love romance, humor, and some steamy scenes.
Love Rinkside by G.K. Brady
This was the first book I have read/listened to by this author, but I’m definitely going back for more. The Meet-Cute was hilarious and the story kept me entertained. I love that way this story is hockey adjacent- hockey is not the main focus of the storyline. The narration was excellent. Narrators Ryan Lee Dunlap and Shiloh James are both new to me. I see there are 7 more books in this series and I’m definitely going back to see how the other couples met.

Love Rinkside is a fun, sweet novella thats is part of the Playmakers series and such an enjoyable book to listen to. Perfect narration, the story flowed so easily and I didn’t want it to end! Drew and Katie are not looking for love in so many ways…and nothing like a Halloween costume party to start getting to know them.
Drew is all work when it comes to his IT business…focused and not looking into find a relationship. Katie sworn off men, sick of feeling used. When Drew and Katie have an interesting night at a costume party .. they decided to take a chance on a date. One date up there another things are spicy and steamy with the connections and deniable what happens when there is a little bit of bump in the road. When that develops into feelings, blurred lines … will that deter the connection between Drew and Katie… or bring them closer then they expected in so many good ways.
I definitely recommend this book to listen to. It was a great story and I look forward to listening to more of this series.
Love Rinkside: A Spicy Hidden Identity Hockey Romance Novella (The Playmakers Series)
If you’re looking for an entertaining book to distract you on your commute or whenever you listen to books I suggest you get this one.
Katie and Drew’s initial meeting had me giggling at first then the picture of what was described had me laughing out loud. Their story was a cute one and I throughly enjoyed listening to it to get me through my work day.
The narrators Ryan Lee Dunlap and Shiloh James did a great job bringing Katie and Drew’s story to life. This was the first time listening to either one of them but will definitely look for more book they narrate.
This was not my introduction to Ms. Brady or this series and this is not the last time I will be reading her
This story starts out so funny. In a place where you could actually believe what you are reading. Meeting at a Halloween party, Drew and Katie have no interest in meeting a partner. But yet their costumes draw them together. Causing shenanigans to commence. From there the story keeps you reading as you don’t want to miss a thing. I will give no Spoilers as this is a Must read! I will tell you unexpected and unwanted romance is in the story along with Hockey.The author has once again brought forth an outstanding series. This one just adds to the fun and laughter. The story is fast paced and one of my favorites in this series. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Drew didn’t want to be at this Halloween party. He especially didn’t want to be at this Halloween party dressed as a banana slug. But there he was, at least he found a nice place to hide and it had a stash of decent beverages. Then when she came crashing into his quiet, Drew wasn’t sure what or who she was but he was instantaneously intrigued by her.
Katie knew she wasn’t ready, if she ever was going to be ready, for a new relationship after that last one. He was a complete jerk. It was fine, Katie was very happy living in Singledom. She even told that to the giant banana slug. He was good with it. He felt the same. When Katie and “Sammy the Slug” decided they had enough of the party and wanted to escape, they did so only knowing the fake names they had given to each other. All the fun they were having on their grand adventure escaping the dreaded party came to a screeching halt when the red and blue lights flashed.
When Katie and Drew found out who the other was, they realized that they had been in each other’s orbits for several years but never quite made any connections. Drew and Katie tried to be friends. But the chemistry was too much. They both knew what each wanted out of this situationship. They had both said it the night of the Halloween party, happy in Singleville, not looking to move. Giving into their desires, they lit it up.
The problem with thinking that you know what another person wants is that you really don’t know. As Katie and Drew fought their feelings for each other, fought the pull to find out if the other one wanted more than just casual, fought their own insecurities and ghosts, trouble brewed. When the trouble bubbled over, there were broken hearts all over. When Drew figures out that he can’t live without Katie, can an over the top grand gesture heal what was broken by some careless words?
Plug your headphones in (or charge them) and listen to this captivating story!! Laugh, love, and get covered in dog hair along with these engaging characters!! Highly recommended for all the hockey lovers out there.
The Fallen Man written and narrated by Cat Treadgold
What a wonderful book to round out the series. This is the fifth book and Edward’s story, but it brought the whole gang back together. This series should be read in order as the book build off the previous books in the series. It flowed well and Cat certainly brings her characters to live in these audio books. I loved the whole series, but this was my personal favorite. I really look forward to what this author will bring us next. Loved how the epilogue brought an update on the couples from previous books!
Review by @sunbarn
This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed reading. It is an engaging story where the narrator brought the story to life with the different tones of voice. I enjoyed how the characters made me want to know more. This is a story about Drew and Katie . They are great characters. They have one night of fun that gets cut short by a dog attack. Now Drew wants a second chance to make it up to Katie. This is an easy story to listen to. I enjoyed this one and I look forward to listening to more from this author. I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Fallen Man is the 5th and final book in The Olympic Peninsula Series…This is a great conclusion to the series, I am a little sad. I feel fully invested into the characters in each book. I love the narration done by the author as she brings her story to life. I highly recommend stating this series from the beginning as key characters are in each book. This story is set during the Holidays introducing me to Edward, the elsest brother of the O’Connell’s. I really love his story.
Edward is a man searching… leaving the Church and walking away from his faith was not an easy decision. Edward soon finds himself taken in by the beautiful Lisette. Both Edward and Lisette have secrets but will those secrets get in the way to something magical….
Love, drama, betrayal and friendships…this is a great story and I highly recommend listening to this series!
WOW! First let me tell you, STOP! Starting the first book in this series is in my opinion where this series starts. Getting to know all of the valuable characters will only bring the series together as you start to read book 5. Having said that, this story just gets better as you turn the pages. This is Edward O’Connell’s story. His life takes so many journeys. His life from Priesthood to finding Lisette. Lisette has a story of her own, making this a story well worth the wait. This story will play with all of your emotions, from both of the main characters. I love this author and her writing skills. Her story is fast paced and will keep you wanting so much more. I can hardly wait to see what her next series brings us.
This is an author that Ihave enjoyed listening to from the first audio book. I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones for the characters. Edward and Lisette are great characters that I really enjoyed. They are strong characters that have great chemistry. This is an easy and entertaining story to listen to. I really enjoy this author and I highly recommend this audiobook.
5/5 stars
This was a wonderful story. It’s so beautifully complicated. I could relate so well to it. After my stepfather passed, I found out things weren’t what I thought they were. That really hurt, I thought he was my world. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. It’s amazing how much we can relate. I found the characters to be unique and entertaining. Their personalities really showed through. Every personality had so much to work with and on. I really ended up having to listen to this story in virtually one sitting because I was totally drawn it. I found the narration to be good. It’s a story worth using that credit on.
Not So Little Things by Kyle Ann Robertson
Narrated by Carrie Brewer
This was a new author and narrator for me. I absolutely was not expecting how great and interesting this story played out. I enjoyed the “Little Rooms” and Quote wall. The twists in the truths coming to light brilliant. I’m definitely putting this author on my to be read list.
Carrie Brewer really brought this story to life with her narration. It was very soothing to listen to.
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not So Little Things is a story that captivates you from the beginning…giving you family secrets that come to light, loss, denial and a sense control.
Tina Edward’s is trying to navigate the handling finding out her mother is ill and in need of staying with Tina during her treatments….but Tina has been resolved, anger and resentment towards her mother since her father passed years ago and Tina feeling like it’s her mom‘s responsibility of his death. As Tina works through her unresolved issues with her mother…. she works with Jake Martin to help replicate some rooms in the family mansion.
As Jake gets to know Tina Moore, there are so many stories from the past that help bring family back together again. When Tina‘s mom finally has the chance to open buried secrets, will Tina be able to handle everything that is thrown her way once she finds out the full truth of her mother, father and Aunt Liddy?
Definitely listen to the story and find out. The story really takes you on a roller coaster of emotions and trying to peel back the pieces of the secrets. This was a very well told story.
Tina Edwards is my kind of person. She loves building fairy houses, just like her father did. When her father passed away, Tina’s mother took off. Leaving her with her aunt. Now that Tina is grown and running her own miniature room business. Things she once knew are changing, the secrets are coming out and everything she once knew is no longer. While at the same time she is working on rooms for an old Victorian home. The author of this story has a great way of writing stories. They captured my interest in chapter 1 and kept me listening to the end. So much going on in this story and yet kept my interest. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. Her stories are well written.

This is my first audio by this author which I enjoyed listening to. This is a mystery story about Tina and her determination to figure out if stories from the past are true. Plus Tina’s mother reenters Tina’s life and has her own secrets to tell. I enjoyed this story and how the narrator brought the story to life with different tones of voices. This is an easy book to listen to and had me wanting to know more. An engaging audio with characters that are connectable and make the story for me. I look forward to listening to another audiobook by this author in the future. I highly recommend this book.
5 Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Changed Man is Book 4 of the Olympic Peninsula Series and I have enjoyed every book so far in this series but this is my favorite (so far 😊). I highly recommend listening to this series in order as you get to know the characters and I loved this story getting to know Jake in this book. This author gives me all the feels of romance, family drama, angst and definite roller coaster of emotions in this story.
Jake O’Connell is back in town…attending his brother’s upcoming wedding. When Jake resigns from his company…and being in town…things can seem tense. With a new career on the horizon as a writer… Jake also fights with the emotions of losing a friend and also charming the likes of Chlara….
Definitely give this a listen to find out what happens … and I love that the author narrates her own book.
As we continue to follow the stories of each member of this talented family we meet Jake O’Connell. Jake, who has quite the successful career in business has decided to leave that life behind and showed back up to Port Townsend. There he instantly rocks the boat, especially when he meets Chiara. Chiara is married to a man who clearly doesn’t love her and she is quickly swept away by Jake. This is a sweet romance with many ups and downs and ultimately ending in a surprise ending. This book continues to bring new and surprising things to the surface with members of the family having special talents. It could get a bit confusing at times as there are so many characters and it doesn’t focus solely on Jake and Chiara but overall, a good listen.

The Changed Man Audio Book (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold
The Changed Man Audio Book is the fourth book in The Olympic Peninsula Series. This series just keeps getting better and better with each new book. I’ve truly enjoyed listening to this series and this one may be my favorite yet. The narrator does an amazing job bringing the characters to life with different tones of their voice. I literally listened to this every break and on my way home I had to know what was going to happen next. I just want to say if you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend starting with the first book. It’s a great series and you get back story on what’s been going on and get to know the characters better. Im not going to give anything away. I highly recommend giving this a listen to find out how things turn out for Jake. I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more from this Author.
4/5 stars
I am such a fan of this series. The author does such a fantastic job of portraying family dynamics and family relationships. Though this is book 4 and it’s focus is on Jake and his slow burn relationship with Chiara,we see the relationships still developing with the other couples. We also get to see him work on rebuilding his relationship with Joe and his other family members. This book, heck the whole series, hits me in the feelers. I always come away feeling every emotion. These guys feel like they could be part of your family or close friends. They are easy to relate to. Such a strong writing style that pulls you in and you are engaged until the end. Hearing it in audio provides a new level to it in the way of feeling those emotions when it comes to the relationships. Every time Chiara would real to Lorenzo about Miss Bigfoot, I swear I woul loose it and spit what I was drinking out. This might be my favorite among the series. I loved the narration. It was fantastic all around.
Well Welcome Jake, brother to the groom. Jake had been outside the family for a long time. Will his brothers accept him back into the family? If you have been following this series, you know this will be a challenge for all involved. But Jake is not about to give up nor will his family let him go. Then when romance fills the air this story takes on a whole new journey. I recommend you step back and get to know these amazing characters. By starting with book 1. This author has once again brought forth an amazing add on to this series. This is a great story to listen to. It is a fast paced and emotional story and I loved every minute! I am looking forward to seeing where this author takes us next.
This is not my first audiobook by this author but it is one of my favorites. I found this audio easy to listen to. An audiobook that is engaging with characters that come to life by the narrator’s different tones of voice. They had me wanting to listen to more. This is a story about what happens when Jake goes to attend his brother’s wedding and things get turned upside down. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I highly recommend this audio.
Thorfinn’s family was cursed by a witch down three generations. Two generations have succumbed to the curse before Thorfinn’s story began. A young boy of 10 Thorfinn must overcome people plotting to unalive him. His own clansman fear him and he is now an enemy. He must also accept his new fate of being a boy by day and ghost by night. This was a fascinating book. I enjoy history but have never really gotten into Norse culture aside from the Hollywood version. I’m sure the author did a lot of research to describe things so wonderfully. It was like a movie playing in my head as I was able to visualize everything. I can’t wait to see what the next adventure holds in this series.
I really like the story. The character development was strong, the characters each had a crucial role, and the ending wrapped everything together nicely. Listening to the book was challenging as at times I had a hard time figuring out who was talking as first person as it was told in different characters point of view but once you learned the narrators voices, it was much clearer. The narrator for the book was fantastic and was the perfect choice for this genre. I really felt like I was with the characters. Transition music was also nice as it set the tone for the next passage. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

Such a fun book to listen to! I did not read the book first, so this was my first experience with it, but I loved it! I’m not a big history buff, but listening to it read by a narrator with an awesome accent that feels like old time story telling really captured my attention! Crazy story! Good characters, totally worth the time!

What a gem!! Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse is Book 1 of the Forerunner Series and this was a fantastic audiobook. This story gave me Vikings, witches, curses and drama. I can say I’m looking forward to diving into this series more!
Told in multiple POVs…. This story is a about a family that is cursed and Finn is the main focus of this curse. Trying to navigate and learn the ways between realms.. will Finn be able to be courageous to save uncle…
Secrets and plots… definitely listen to find out. Great start to this series!
The narrator was perfect for this story and I loved the music that was added. It really brings the story to life.
Thorfinn is a young boy of 9 years and coming of age under the historical Viking lore. Along with magic, ghost’s, witches and paranormal events. He may be young, but his knowledge is powerful. Now he needs to grow long before he is ready. This is a very interesting story. I don’t care to read historical novels, this one caught my interest. The story is well written and pretty easy to follow. As well as educational if you are interested in this genre. You can tell the author is knowledgeable in Viking history and paranormal characters, as is clear in this story. This audible story is fun to listen to. This would make for long driving trips. As the story builds, so does your heartbeat. This is a great story all together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Very fun read! Kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator had just enough in their voice to draw you in, but not enough to give away the next moment. Very well done!
I couldn’t believe the twists in this sweet romantic mystery. I mean who saw the crazy coming! This is my first Eve Sawyer adventure.
Eve Sawyer is a journalism major at a local college. She wants to be an investigative journalist. It seems like she is starting early by helping the police solve crimes in her spare time. In this story, Eve is contacted by her friend’s mother, stating that her friend never came home and is missing. Eve soon discovers that the friend’s boyfriend is missing too. Are the two disappearances linked?
As Eve starts looking for her friend, she discovers so much going on. A bad break-up, a deceased father, an overprotective mother, a mystery ancestry hit, and an unexpected ransom situation. What seems connected may not be but could be. The crazy series of events that led to the big truth reveal was out of this world. Not to mention the budding romance between Eve and her investigation buddy.
Overall a good listen for the afternoon!
