Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Kay Stritesky

You cannot go wrong with these books! Whether reading or listening the author and narrator is so good at keeping the readers attention and telling the story so that the reader is left wanting more. I love that while I have snagged this series every chance I get, these books can be read by themselves or in order. I also love the series that break off from each of these books. 10/10 readers will not be disappointed with any book this author gives us!

Peg’s Stand (Satan’s Devils MC #6) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Kay Stritesky

I cannot say enough good things about not only this book but this series! It is impossible to lose interest over time and bonus, they can all be read stand alone! In this one the narration fits the story and keeps readers attention. Its like Sons of Anarchy without all the violence and easier on the stomach! I cannot wait for more of not only this series but this author as well!

Peg’s Stand (Satan’s Devils MC #6) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Sunday Barnaby

Peg’s Stand: Satan’s Devils MC #6 by Manda Mellett
Narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister
Five Stars

This by far is my favorite Satan’s Devils book, but I tend to say that with every new book Ms Mellett writes. I have been waiting for Peg’s story. It was definitely worth the wait. Darcy is the perfect woman for Peg. She is a strong woman who encounters and surmounts obstacles along the way.
This book is narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister as have been the prior books in this series. They work well with each other to bring the characters to life. The voices are easy on the ears. I look forward to listening to more books narrated by them in the future.

5 stars

For any fans of epic fantasy and beautifully created worlds, you will NEVER go wrong with a book by Tricia Copeland. This book and series is very familiar to me and I was excited to be able to listen to a favorite. The story came to life in a brand new way and allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the story and universe powerfully. The narration only added to the richness of the story development. Run and get a copy of the book and audio as quick as you can. Worth every minute!

Murder Creek (Audio Book) by Jane Suen – Review by Heather Lovelace

Five stars.

This is a go to author for me, one I always enjoy reading. And I was thrilled to find my first audiobook release from Ms. Suen. This was a story I had previously read and I thoroughly enjoyed having the story unfold for me in a new way by hearing the narrator bring life to the author’s words. Truly a great story from start to finish only enhanced by the talented narrator. If you are looking a for a well developed story with twists and turns, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this selection.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price AUDIO BOOKS by C.L. Schneider – Review by Robbyn Perkins

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The main character, Ian, has lived in fear of his magic and was afraid to use it. But when he discovers a new threat, he is forced into using his magic once more and rediscovering his abilities.

I really enjoyed the character developments and watching and reading Ian’s ability to adjust and grow with his magic. I also love how the author was able to weave in intrigue and a fantasy world, along with the danger that now approaches Ian and his world. Definitely a great fantasy read!

This is the second book by this author I listened too and I love it… The length of the books is great! I love audible books so this is a plus. The audible is great the narrator is great.

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti- Review by Lauren West

This story will truly pull at your heartstrings and play to your every emotion. This story truly shows that love discriminates against no one and when its meant to be its meant to be. Richard and Noemie fight through many parallels to be together, and the strength from their love and each other is what moves them forward in the extreme racist south of the 1960s.
Noemi is a beautiful girl who is sweet and full spirited. Living with a drunken/abusive father she struggles to protect her younger brother and strives to provide them with a better life. Upon meeting Richard its instant chemistry that is physical, but deeply emotional as well. As we experience their journey to a HEA it becomes a tale that truly sticks with you. The narration of this story was completely amazing and at times it gave me goosebumps.

A ghost has escaped the underworld and is wreaking havoc in the French Quarter. The longer this spirit remains free the weaker Asher will become until he ceases to exist.

Will Asher and Jasmine be able to wrangle this wryly ghost before the situation gets too dire?

Untouched (The Cadence Duet Book One) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Things were never supposed to happen between Fitz and Cadence, but they couldn’t deny their chemistry. Cadence is helping her family run their summer camp for children gifted in the arts. She was focused on getting her degree early and didn’t have time for guys. That was until Fitz waltzed into the summer camp. There was something about him that drew her like a moth to a flame and she couldn’t keep herself from falling for this bad boy. Will the end of summer bring happiness or heartache?

Fitz had gotten himself into a bit of trouble and was sent to the summer camp run by the Riley’s to make up for his bad behavior. When he first saw Cadence he didn’t think he would fall for her. He figured that the next three months at Camp Riley would be boring and didn’t think he would end up getting attached to someone as good and innocent as Cadence. Falling for Cadence is easy, but how will he say good-bye when it is time?

Kingdom of War: Kingdom Journals, Book 4 by Tricia Copeland
4 out of 5 stars
Tricia Copeland is one of my favorite authors. I have read many books of hers and thus I was delighted to pick up this little gem. This is the fourth installment in the Kingdom Journals series and a fabulous addition to the set. We meet up with Hunter who is the leader of a long-awaited trinity. Those who are going to restore the order. As his story progresses, I am reminded of Hercules and the requirement of the 12 labors, I find that these are similar to Hunter and the trials that he must complete. Hunter is a complex and often frustrating character as he is constantly at battle with himself and his growing power. He is struggling to control what he thinks is not his and not turn into the father whom he hates. The other two of the trinity are fantastic characters to Hunter and compliment him very well. The conversation, banter, and story progression make this a completely easy read or listen to. Lovers of Paranormal/Romance/Young Adult/Fantasy will love this book. 4 out of 5 stars.

Miss Understanding (The Miss Series Book 1) Audio Book by Aubrey Bondurant – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Liam Davenport is a workaholic who has his dream of making partner in his sights. He doesn’t want or need any distractions which is exactly what his assistant will be.

Kendall Tate is the lucky lady that gets to be the assistant to Liam. He may be easy on the eyes, but he is a jerk. It seems that no matter what she does it is never good enough.

This was a a good story. There were a few times where I felt kind of fed up with Liam being a jerk, but once we got a glimpse into his background it completely changed my way of thinking. By the end of the book I felt that these two had balanced each other out very well.

Heart of Stone (The Stone Series Volume 1) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by May Leadstone

A whirlwind romance with a dark side is how I would classify Alex and Krystina’s story! I found this story to be a very enjoyable and delicious read! Though this story is very reflective of others in this genre, I find Krystina’s story more inviting and relatable than previous reads of mine in this category. Her reactions and thoughts throughout the story are the way I might have reacted if it was me in this situation. In most other books I have read, the woman always seems to be “weaker” or “damsel in distress” and this was nice to have someone who is trying to do better than that! Who DOESN’T WANT THAT! Thank you Ms. Willink! The only real issue I had was the way the narrators performed the story! I wanted them to be more expressive than monotoned as well as their emphasis/inflection at places it didn’t sound right to have it. Sometimes they would find the right place other times not..it was hard to get past. I gave it 3 stars as it was something I got used to it and I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about what happened at the end of the novel!! I am looking forward to the next volume!

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Marcus MacArthur is a SWAT member, former Navy SEAL, and all around tough guy. He is constantly putting his life in danger so he doesn’t do relationships. What woman in their right mind would want to constantly worry about whether or not he would be coming home that night? It isn’t until his feisty neighbor, Serena Rucker, moves in and catches his attention that he is contemplating having a serious relationship. One night with her should have been enough, but now that he’s had her he can’t seem to think of anything else. With his profession there are bound to be people that want to see him either badly hurt or dead. When he learns that she has a target on her back due to their connection he would do everything in his power to keep her safe.

Serena Rucker is an emergency room nurse that has had her eye on Marcus for a while. She knows what she’s getting into by starting any kind of relationship with him, but she worries anyway. Will she be able to make Marcus see things her way? Being associated with a man like Marcus isn’t going to be easy especially when they are willing to hurt those he cares for. When trouble comes knocking Serena is caught in the middle and used as leverage against Marcus. Will Marcus be able to save her from a horrible situation or will he be too late?

This is the first book I have read or even listened to by this author. It’s definitely not something to listen to in a room full of people, haha. The two leads are both headstrong and aren’t afraid to go for what they want.

5 out of 5 Stars
I loved this story. While short and sweet, it was absolutely well pieced together and the story moved smoothly. It did not feel rushed and each chapter rolled into the other without feeling lost in the story as if having missing important information.
The chemistry between Stone and Adeline is quick and fantastic. It burns hot and quick and I love the banter and quick wit that Adeline has.
This book is for lovers of YA, and Romance. This is a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Luke by Kimberly Lewis, narrarated by Tiffany Williams is book 3 in The McKades of Texas series. The characters were fun and light hearted and I really enjoyed the relationship build up. The story line was fun and sweet and just enough suspense of what was going to happen next kept me on the edge of my seat. I’m very particular about audible narrarators, but I really liked her. I will definitely read other books by this author. This is a newer author for me, and I’m really enjoying this series. I give this book a solid 5 stars.

Luke: The McKades of Texas, Book 3 by Kimberly Lewis – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Luke by Kimberly Lewis is book three of The McKades of Texas series. It’s narrated by Tiffany Williams.

I really enjoyed this book when I read it that I decided I wanted to listen to the audiobook as well. This audiobook was great! This is the first book I’ve listened to that the female narrator narrated both male and female viewpoints. The narrator did such a great job it didn’t take away from the story at all.

I highly recommend this book!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have only listened to about 4-5 audiobooks before I downloaded Luke. I love childhood crushes turned to adult romances so I decided to give it a go. At first I thought that I would be annoyed by the southern twang but I LOVED it and felt very connected to the woman’s voice who read the book. I felt like I was right there in the story and found myself wanting more quiet time to listen to this book.
In this book you have Karlie and Luke. Karlie has ALWAYS loved Luke but she was much younger than Luke. Fast forward years later Karlie has graduated from college and ends up doing an internship at Luke’s family’s horse farm. Luke and Karlie start a secret relationship because they don’t want to upset their families that are really close. I really enjoyed this book and now want to go back and read about the rest of the family!

Luke: The McKades of Texas by Kimberly Lewis
4 out of 5 Stars
This book is sassy. I love friends to lovers books, but I love it even more when one is so deeply invested in the outcome of their forever.
Karlie Kyle loves Luke McKade, has for years. But all Luke sees is his mother’s best friend’s daughter. Determined to change how he sees her, Karlie returns to her hometown, to Luke family ranch to be specific, to do an internship after college. Luke is gob smacked at how just not so little Karlie is any more.
Convincing Luke to be her summer fling isn’t as hard as Karlie thought, but convincing him to be her forever….well that is going to take nothing less than a miracle.
This is a dual POV book. The flipping viewpoints allows us to see both perspectives of the story from both dynamics. Karlie is fierce and independent and knows exactly what she wants and what she will do to get it. Luke is a typical alpha, southern male who is struggling with changing his commitment phobia ways to obtain his happily ever after.
This is easily a 4 out of 5 stars!

This contemporary romance – all the feels. All of them. It doesn’t get stuck in the western stereotype. The characters are relatable and the plot moves well. This book grabs you on page one and doesn’t let go until it ends. I loved it and cannot wait to go back to read the other books in this series.

Luke (The McKades of Texas #3)
By Kimberly Lewis
Rated 5 stars!!

OMG!!! I floved this story! I was drawn in from the beginning and dang if I could hardly put this one down! So glad I have the kindle app on my phone. I was able to keep reading while out and about. Phew! Crisis averted!
Usually I am a fan of the male lead. In this story Karlie is my favorite. She is strong, sassy and confident. She knows what she wants and goes after it. Now saying that I will also say that Luke and Karlie together are adorable..like off the charts adorable!! Their back and forth is one of my favorite things they do. Oh and maybe how she twists him up and he does things for her he has never done before. So sweet!

Karlie is in a tough spot. Trying to change a mans mind about her or actually see her as she is..not as a little girl from his youth. That is why this is so good! She is so confident as she pulls different stunts on him saying…I’m a woman…see ME!! My personal enjoyment started near the beginning when Luke and Karlie meet up at the restaurant. Priceless! I loved being inside his head! It only get better from there!!

Secondary characters are all around in this book. Most are from the previous two stories ( which I have not read). They all add cute little elements to the story! The bantering between the girls is so cute! Many times is feel myself sitting here smiling while reading. The brothers enjoy doing all things to each other (ribbing, joking and sugaring up the young ones) that siblings have for eons. The parents and other family members make them see what is important in life and what isn’t.

I was sooo excited to see the on audio!! It is just as I imagined it would be and again I find myself smiling as I’m listening. It just puts me in a happy mood. It really makes time at the gym go a little faster when listening to something so good. Tiffany Williams does a wonderful job narrating. I have listened to her before and she is enjoyable. She was a good choice

This is my first story in this series and by this author. I loved both the story and the characters in here! If the other two are written along the same lines. I will gobble them up as well. This one will be placed on my reread book shelf. If you are reading this far and have made a decision yet? I highly recommend this if you want to fun in your romances.
Very enjoyable and well done!

Luke: The McKades of Texas, Book 3 Audible Audiobook – Review by Maura Harper

4 out of 5 stars

I have previously read and reviewed LUKE in print. Let me tell you – actually HEARING it is a whole different experience. Because I’m a fast reader, I tend to skim over more detailed portions of stories. While listening to it, I was able to hear every word written (spoken). While at times the writing was overly detailed, I understand why it is written the way it is. I did speed up the voice a bit so the very detailed passages were ok to listen to.

The narrator did a fantastic job. Voice inflections and accents made it listening a pleasure. I also found the narrator’s voice to be very soothing, almost meditative.

I would recommend reading and listening to this book.

Luke (The McKades of Texas, #3)Luke by Kimberly Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke by Kimberly Lewis is the third book in The McKades of Texas series. I ended up going with the audiobooks which was narrated by Tiffany Williams.

If you haven’t listened to an audiobook before having the right narrator is extremely important. If it’s the wrong narrator then it could end up making a well written book not as enjoyable which has happened to me in the past. I’m very happy to say that this was not the case this time.

Karlie comes home after she graduates from college and one of the first people she runs into is Luke. They have known each other all their lives, he sees her as a little sister, she sees him with hearts in her eyes. Their story is very sweet and I enjoyed reading it.

Tiffany William’s did a great job bringing each one of the characters their own personality. She had the Texas drawl down and I liked that like here in Texas not everyone has a thick accent.

I look forward to reading more books by Ms. Lewis and find more audiobooks narrated by Ms. Williams.

5 Stars

 

This is my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it!! I had no problem with this as a standalone but do want to go back and read Zane and Norah’s stories because I enjoyed this one so much. I love cowboy stories and this one was perfect. I fell in love with the characters..All of them…I loved the interaction between them all and Karlie’s spunk was awesome.

 

I listened to this in one sitting while working through the day, because it flowed so perfectly and although it was somewhat predictable I don’t even care, I loved everything about it. I was so angry a few times at Luke but then he did something that will go down as one of my favorite scenes ever, I had big old alligator tears rolling down my cheeks and I felt like I was right there watching it all play out. This could be a movie, there’s no doubt about it and I can not wait to go back and read the first two, as well as check out what else this author has available.

 

This was my first full Audible book and listening to it was awesome and the Narrator did an amazing job and I would love to have her come in and read all my books to me  🙂

 

This was awesome and I highly recommend it, it just has that feel good vibe and I just know I’ll read this whole series again and again.

Luke: The McKades of Texas, Book 3 Audible Audiobook by Kimberly Lewis – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is my first audible and I loved it.  I loved how the story teller changed her voice with the different characters.  She pulled me into the story with her voice and I had a hard time pausing it. This is a story about Karlie and Luke who grew up together.  What will happen when Karlie makes Luke a proposition that he can’t refuse? Will they find their HEA? I loved their chemistry and had no problem connecting with them.  Find out if they are just a fling for the Summer or if fate has something more in mind for them. I highly recommend this book in audible.

Review For Audiobook:

Luke is the first book that i have listened to by this author and I loved it. It was a sweet and funny story that i found both heartwarming and hot hot hot. The author did a wonderful job at capturing my attention and keeping me interested til the very end.
Karlie is our MC and she just graduated from college. Luke is a sexy noncommittal cowboy that Karlie has known her whole life and she has loved him for as long as she can remember. She has decided to take an internship at Luke’s family’s ranch for the summer to make her job resume look better to future employers. When Luke sees Karlie for the first time after two years he is extremely surprised that little Ms.Karlie isn’t so little anymore. The banter between the two of them is hilarious and i just love that Karlie is a little firecracker. Will a relationship bloom between them or will they remain family friends like they have always been.
I thought the Narrator was the perfect choice for this book because she was able to make a different voice for all of the characters and that made it easy to listen and follow along. I think my favorite voice she did was Luke’s Momma! She sounded EXACTLY like a southern momma should.
I think both author and narrator did an awesome job and I will definitely listen to more books by both of them!
