The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold

Narrated by Cat Treadgold

Five Stars

 

The Guardsman is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series and the second book I have listened to by this author. Both books are standalone but you will have a better understanding of the characters if you listen in order. This book features Theresa and Liam and their trials and tribulations. This was an intriguing book that had me guessing at what would happen next. I can’t wait for the third book to come out. Cat Treadgold’s narration was very easy to listen to and I enjoyed it tremendously.

The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
Narrated by Cat Treadgold

I have to say that this book really surprised me. Cat did a wonderful job with the narration. Her inflection and voice brought each of the characters to life. I loved the premise and all of the detailed characters that came into Ally and Joe’s lives as they wound their way back to each other. I love finding great new authors and Cat Treadgold fits that bill. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book!

The First Sin: South of Eden by Lisa Beth Darling
Narrated by John Walker
Five Stars

What an interesting take on the story of Adam and Eve. This book grabbed my attention in the first chapter and never let me go until it was over. I usually don’t listen to this genre, but I think I have been missing out. Ms. Darling weaves a brilliant tale of mythical perfection.
This is the first time I have listen to a book narrated by John Walker, but definitely won’t be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed his voice and look forward to finding more to listen to this narrator. Definitely looking forward listening to more from both the author and the narrator.

This book is high energy, terrorizing plots, really intriguing cast of characters rolled into one amazing audiobook. Cassie and Chandler have all the chemistry, but each are hiding horrific secrets. This story is definitely in my top ten audiobooks of all time. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.  You really need to listen to this book!

The cast of narrators really made this book come to life. Awesome sound effects also! Definitely Five + STARS!!!!

This is the first book I have listened to by Helen Steadman. Although I usually don’t read/listen to Greek Mythology this story really captured my attention. It was an entertaining story and I will definitely be looking for more stories from this author.

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.

Never Is A Very Long Time (The Perfect Date Book 1) Audiobook by Donna McDonald – Review by Sunday Barnaby

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donna McDonald is a new author for me. I enjoyed listening to the story. Never is a Very Long Time is the first book in the series, The Perfect Date. This is a romantic comedy about dating in you 30s, 40s, 50+. Mariah Bates owns the Dating App that matches mature adults with each other for Perfect Dates. The fun ensues as she tries to stay one step ahead of her vindictive ex-husband. Detective John Monroe may turn out to be Mariah’s Perfect match. This is the first book I have listened to that used synthesized audio.  To my surprise it was great, and would definitely listen to more audios like this.

This book is officially my new favorite, but I tend to say that a lot about this author. She is one of my go to authors because her writing never fails to amaze me. The storylines are heartfelt and often gut wrenching. Heart and Marc make a great couple. Even though the emotions run deep, the action is a non-stop roller coaster ride. Can’t wait to see what this author has up next for us. 

Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister are awesome narrators. Their voices blend well. They bring all of the characters to life.  Awesome 5+ star listen.

This is one of the best series I have read in a long time. The characters are amazingly strong with depth and heart. You wouldn’t think it about a MC club, but I love how they interact with friends and family. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of violence and mayhem. This is Chains, Winnie and Jackson’s story and it is wonderfully thought out. I feel the character’s pain and triumph. I couldn’t put this book down. My only disappointment is I have to wait a little while for Part 2. Truly Excellent Read!

This story features Lenny (Iron) and Joy and their daughter Everly, but it also features Chains, Winnie and Jackson. I’m so glad everyone gets to have their point of view. As an MC club they all have their brothers back. With every book I read in this series, I get more involved with the characters. The boys are big strong bikers, and the women smooth out their rough edges but still have the strength to hold them together through the rough patches. This series is in the top five of all the books I have read this year. I’m really looking forward to reading the next in the series.

The connection these brothers have in the MC is very telling. Even though they are big bad bikers, they really have hearts of gold. Don’t get me wrong, they are still dangerous and take care of their own first and foremost. This story features Beast and Cathy and their son Ryder. I’ve said this before with this series, getting a glimpse of all the characters in the club in their own point of view is a big yes for me. Sometimes when you get multiple points of view the storylines get messy and hard to understand, but not this series. It just bring you closer to each of the characters. All of the books in this series have grabbed a piece of my heart, but this one is my favorite so far.

This story is Bullet and Clementine’s. This book is a little shorter than the first but it is still packed with mystery and action. I read it in one sitting and was so enthralled. I just want to keep going with the series.

This story is action packed from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store next.

This is the third book in the Satan’s Devils Mc series by this author. All of the books have been FIVE + stars for me. If you like MC’s you should read/listen to all of the books in this series and the spin offs. Slick and Ella are my new favorite couple of this MC club. The stories is full of a rough bike lifestyle, so it is not for the faint of heart. 

 

Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister do a great job bringing the characters to life. Their voices are easy on the ears and they blend amazingly well together. I highly recommend these audibles and look forward to the next great listen by this author.

Once I picked the book up, I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Grace Locke is a gritty lawyer/veteran who has been through some hard times. This author has really brought Grace to life and the story is so detailed it made me feel like I was right there with Grace chasing down the truth. I look forward to reading a lot more Grace Locke books in the future. Now, if I can just keep five star reading picks up for the rest of this year I will be in beaver.

The characters were bold and detailed. The subject matter on bullying was described well by the author, but really made me emotional with my thoughts. This book had all the feels and then some. That is why this author is one of my favorites with her angsty reads.

Unlikely To Stay is the third book in the Parker Lake series by Olivia Sherwood . This book can be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend reading this series in order. The Parker Lake series is one of my top ten series I have read. The characters are believable and down to earth. This book features CC, who is the town beautician who has a confidence problem and Brant, who is a nurse practitioner that moved to Parker Lake to get his student loans paid off. Both are afraid of commitment, but the chemistry between the two is off the charts. Will they be able to overcome their issues, or will they go their separate ways? I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Hanging Softly in the Night, A Detective Nick Larson Novel by Maria Elena Alonso Sierra

This is a new author and series to me. I thoroughly enjoyed this story that kept me guessing until the end. It definitely can be listened to as a stand-alone, but I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of the books in this series. This book was filled with mystery and kept me listening long into the night. 

The narrator of this book is also new to me. At first, I wasn’t sure if I could listen to the whole book, but after about a chapter the narrator grew on me. It had just been quite a while since I listen to a book with one narrator. Lately I have listened to duet narration. This book really took on a life of its own once I got into the storyline.

Jared is a rock god and Madison is caring for Jared’s father. It makes for some sizzling hot scenes, but also delves into deep issues of elder care. This book is in my top five reads of the year.
