Review@Cinful
Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen was such an emotional read. Having lost a family member recently I felt the thought process was very human and realistic. There are a lot of human moments and acceptance in the process. While it was a quick story there was a good plot, lots of details, and an emotional journey. I found the narrator’s voice really soothing and the pacing well done

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sizzling Hot and Relevant
Author K.L. Shandwick has mastered the art of taking you on a ride of exploration, through personal self introspective, sexual exploration, self awareness and love for others through past pain. I listened to this book in one day. The main characters were so vivid you felt their triumphs and pain to your core. I laughed at times and was also shocked at times ( in a good way) . When the past meets the present sparks fly. An amazing day spent in the imagination of this wonderful author. I will certainly read this author again.

Review by Carly Vogler
Fake Fiancé by Amy McKinley is one of those books that is easy to get lost in. Ms. Brown’s voice is very pleasant and helped me get lost a little more in the story.
Adeline is young and ambitious and ready to start the next phase of her life in Italy without a clue on how much is going to happen once she gets there.
I have never had the pleasure of going to Italy but it’s on my list, and Verona is pretty high on my list of cities to visit, partially because of this book.
This is the fifth book in the Logan McKenna series. This audio book is just under 7 hours long. The story follows Logan as she goes on a vacation – one she has not taken in years – and ends up getting pulled into a homicide investigation. Just when she thought she would be able to enjoy a family vacation, a murder happens in a normally quiet town. Trouble seems to follow this poor girl. The characters are well written, and scenery is very detailed. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. This series get better and better.

This is a full length steamy romance story. Definitely not for those under 18. But the rest of us can listen and enjoy.
RICK Fars has what every man could want. His music has made him popular with the help of his band. More money than he could ever spend. He has any woman he wants. Which he takes, but no true romance and never the same one. He loves women sometimes 2 at a time. But there is still something missing. Will conversations and honesty help him find what is missing? Can he accept where his life is leading him?
K.L. Shandwick is one of my favorite romance authors. Although this genre took me to unexplored territory. I enjoyed this story as well as the narration. This story is fast paced and interesting. So much so I could not stop listening.The characters played their parts well. Coral quietly questioned her choices. But the boys have their own questions as well. I found this story informative as well as interesting. K.L. Shandwick never disappoints, this book proved that. Well Done K.L. Shandwick! Well Done!

The Inheritance by India Kells
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hello! Can we say steam of the year?! The Inheritance by India Kells, was phenomenal- from both of the mysterious & illusive characters, to the authentic relatable situation-ships. I got the privilege to listen to this book and the narration was also amazing. The relationship between Lani & Mr. Langdon is HOT, refreshing, compassionate. And come on – you want to tell me after reading this you don’t want more of them?! I need more!! I believe this story might be considered a “short story” but there is nothing lacking in content wise! I enjoyed every moment of this – more than likely will be re-reading.
This is a first author for me. I loved this story and the narration was fantastic. This story was amazing and well thought out with consistent word building to keep you on the edge of your seat. This story follows Valerie from the times she’s 15 till she’s almost 19. The trials and life situations she has to endure hard heart and soul shattering. Everything about this story is great. There were a few times I wanted to yell at her, but it’s been a real long time since I was 15. Which with all the emotion this book brought out in me I’d have to say it was FANTASTIC! Can’t wait for the next part in Flynn and Valerie’s story.
I loved listening to this entertaining audio. This is my first audio from this author. I loved being pulled into the story by the voice of the narrator. This is a great author who has chosen a great narrator for her story. I enjoyed the tone of voice and the voice changes throughout the story. This is a story about loss of a parent and loss of yourself. The characters are lovable, connectable and will pull you into their world. A story of a man who loses his mother and has returned home to realize that he has no one left in his life. He finds companionship in the cat that his mom left behind. Will this cat be the healing that he needs? Will he finally be free of the evils and be able to heal? I highly recommend this audio, it is truly worth the pick up
Ready for Flynn: Part 1 by K L Sandwick is a wonderful love story that will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. Valerie is a 15 year old girl who is strong who refused to “do it” with her boyfriend when he pressured her. When this happened, the boyfriend ended up finding someone else to take her place which happened to be Valerie’s best friend. To help Valerie through this rough time, her family sends her to her aunt’s. While emotionally recuperating, Valerie helped her aunt deal with her home after her uncle’s death.
Valerie’s three older brothers are very protective of her when it comes to guys. When Valerie comes home right before Thanksgiving, she is excited to see her brothers. The brother she feels closest to is Martin. Martin brings his roommate Flynn home with him so Flynn doesn’t spend Thanksgiving alone. Valerie and Flynn have an instant connection but there is no way they can get together because of her young age and her protective family. This doesn’t stop them from learning more about each other and their feelings get stronger between them but Flynn ends up stepping away from her and the family.When tragedy strikes and Rocks Valerie’s world, Flynn comes back to help her and be there for her.
This is a well written story with a lot of growth by the main characters. It grabs your heart and you will want to keep reading. I’m so glad this is just part 1 since I want to learn more of what happens.
The narrator, Anne Marie Damman does a wonderful job. Her narration helped me to really feel what the characters were going through.
This is the first book in the series. This audio book is just over two hours long. This story follows Connor as he travels back home to lay his mother to rest. Connor has barely been back to his hometown in over 20 years and he is not looking forward to it. He has so many feelings of regret that he has carried with him throughout his life since he left. Now he is all alone except for his cat, Tom. This was such a heartfelt story of a lonely man facing his past and wondering what his future holds.
Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. Adeline is such a strong and independent woman. I loved her career drive to succeed. Definitely has a head on her shoulders and doesn’t take any guff. The way the story incorporates the past and present is very intriguing. The author Amy McKinley has a way of making you want to travel to Italy with your love and enjoy the opulence of the country.
I read this book a while back but when I saw that it was on audible I just had to get it, and i was not disappointed
Regan Brown did an excellent job with the narration!!
Here is my original review on the story
WOW what a rollercoaster ride…. the push and pull between these two was off the charts, chemistry out of this world.
I can’t believe how much Amy McKinley was able to put into only 158 pages. She put a jampacked story into a Novella. The character development is superb and the storyline great.
This was my first read by this Author but I’m definitely going back for more

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
To start Valarie really annoyed me, her immaturity made me want to slap her at times. There are no nicer ways to describe her but she annoyed me all the way through this book.
I really liked that we saw the dark side of the entertainment industry in this book, the author did a really good job at showing that I really enjoyed the plot.
I also loved reading the banter between Valarie and Flynn banter is one of my favourite things to read in a story without a doubt.

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance is a contemporary romance by Amy McKinley. This is my new favorite book by Ms. McKinley. I was just the right length to fill an afternoon. Adeline and Stone have chemistry that is off the charts. The dialogue is witty and made me laugh out loud. I highly recommend this audiobook and look forward to listening to many more by Amy McKinley.
Regan Brown did an excellent job with the narration. Her voice is smooth and easy to listen to and makes the characters come to life. She is on my look out list for narrators.
Review by @sunbarn
This is a great mystery story and not scary. I loved each character. Just when I thought I had it all figured out…… I didn’t and it was a surprise. Looking forward for this story to continue!!

PLOT TWIST!! Let me preface this by saying, I NEVER read the summary on the back of the book. For me, no matter how vague, it spoils it for me. So I may have been more shocked by Rick than I should have been, but Oh MY GOD. Wow! I loved this story. Rick’s internal struggle and the reasoning behind it was well explained. I found myself rooting for him time after time. It is an amazing story and I was totally addicted. A really great read! Highly recommend! 15 out of 10!!

This is a full Audio Book filled with Romance of a different kind. Definitely not for those under 18, due to the adult theme. But the rest of us may love this unexpected romance.
Lani is almost where she strives to be. An artist, a painter of her own skill. On the passing of her Uncle a will is read and if she wants the money she must perform tasks set before her. So finding Max Langdon is a priority. Max is a very private and reserved man. He also has his own secrets, ones he wants to stay buried. Now that money is the goal, will Lani be able to finish this task and get the money? Even more will Max help her with this discovery?
India Kells is one of my favorite authors. I know before going in I will enjoy this story. She did not disappoint! This Audio Book is a quick listen and let me tell you I missed nothing. The characters and what they must do is WOW! While listening, close your eyes and watch as it plays out. I am sure you too will enjoy this story. Well Done India Kells! Well Done!!!
Review@Cinful
This was a different auidlble for my normal listen. I enjoyed the narrotor voice. Betty and Jenny run a tea and sweet shop. This is such a sweet feel good listen.Teddy and Jenny time together is short they are so cute together. This book changes paces and the development of the story is paced really well.
This was an emotional read. It is a story I love and the characters are so well written. I really enjoyed the concept of this story and the way it was paced not to fast not to slow. I like how we got to read from each character POV. Other relationship’s and dynamics are also shown which further impact’s this storytelling. Pasts can have an ugly way of revealing. I love the audio person on this book they done a great job of converting the characters.
Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley was a cute quick romance! I loved Adeline and Stone, their relationship really developed beautifully. The attraction was there and it just needed a little spark. I really enjoyed the pacing, it didn’t feel rushed. The attention to detail was really present and it was really easy to get pulled in.
Safe Harbor, by Valerie Davisson, is actually the fifth book in her Logan McKenna Mystery series. Do not let this keep you from reading it as a stand alone! This is the first story I have read, and I had no issue following along.
Logan is trying to have a relaxing vacation with her family when she is thrown into the middle of a murder investigation. If that wasn’t enough, the ghosts of her past can’t seem to leave her alone either. Faced with a decision that could change everything, what can she do?

READY FOR FLYNN, PART 1 (READY FOR FLYNN SERIES) AUDIO BOOK by K.L. SHANDWICK
Ready For Flynn, Part 1 ( Ready For Flynn Series) Audio Book by K.L. Shandwick is a Contemporary Romance that I loved listening to. The narrator did an outstanding job. I was pulled in from the beginning and kept me listening. I had a hard time stopping it, And found myself taking longer to get home only because I had to know what was going to happen next. This is the story of Valerie and Flynn. Valerie qas loved and cherished by her brothers and her boyfriend in her small town at a young age of fifteen until she is forced to leave due to a betrayal. She returns back home where she finds comfort in Flynn the man who made her have strange feelings when he vanished from her life. There is definitely chemistry and strong connection between these two. Find out if Valerie Is really Ready For Flynn? I can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series. This was my first Audible book by this author but definitely not my last. I highly recommend reading or listening to this story
This audio book follows Rick, who lives high on the rock and roll lifestyle. He can have any woman he wants, but there is still something missing. He is getting older and everyone else is settling down and yet he has not found “the one” for him. He also carries around a lot of emotional and sexual baggage as well as a secret. The way the author wrote this, you get a really good idea on what he must be feeling and does pull at the heartstrings a bit. Get ready to listen/read some absolute hotness!

I really enjoyed this book; I have to admit that I was almost put off by the length of time for the audio book but actually as I was so engrossed in what I was listening to the 11 hours went by really quickly. I did listen to it over a few days but it was a really good story and I really enjoyed it. It is definitely a slow story but definitely one worth sticking with. Valerie is one of those characters you have to get to know before you can decide whether or not you like her. And Flynn – well I loved him straight away! The narrator was good and did well to get so much emotion over from the story. I am really looking forward to the next part to Valerie and Flynn’s story.
