Audiobook Review: Sealed with a Kiss By Erin Nicholas

Sealed with a Kiss
Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, Book 4
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Zara Eden
Length: 10 hrs and 20 mins

Available now at: 













Blurb

What’s a girl to do when her celebrity crush needs her to be his fake girlfriend?

Keep her damned feelings to herself, of course.

Child TV star turned adult wallflower Naomi LeClaire has vowed never to return to the spotlight. 

But when she’s stuck in a storm with Donovan Foster, the hot, charming, wildlife-rescuing internet sensation, and she finally gives in and kisses him...and a few articles of clothing end up on the floor...suddenly her simple, quiet life is tossed upside down. 

Especially after the paparazzi catches a heat-of-the-moment kiss. Now everyone assumes she's his girlfriend and, when she realizes that’s the best way to keep Donovan out of trouble, Naomi agrees to play along. Even though it puts her center stage with her private life in very public view. Again. 

They’re a whirlwind of opposites-attract chemistry the fans love, but they'll surely blow over faster than a Gulf Coast hurricane. As long as they can keep straight what's real and what's just a once-in-a-lifetime fantasy.


My Review

This is the fourth book in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series. I haven't listened to the first books in the series yet. I like Erin Nicholas’s writing. Naomi and Donovan’s story is sweet, funny, and heartwarming. They are fantastic characters. I loved to follow them in their entertaining journey. The supporting characters are great. Jason Clarke and Zara Eden did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it. I would love to listen to the first books in the series.

Blog Tour: The Lady and the Spy by Ruth A. Casie

A snow storm, a Russian spy and a puzzle loving widow await you in The Lady and the Spy by Ruth A. Casie. This is the second standalone regency romance in the Ladies of Summer by the Sea. I am excited to share its release and two fun giveaways with you.

The Lady and the Spy

Amazon

With each encounter her heartbeat quickened. With each encounter his need for her grew stronger. 

Lady Patrice Montgomery Edgemont always did what was expected of her and look where that got her, married off by her father into a loveless relationship. She solved the puzzle that was prospective husband number two, another of her father’s choices and quickly made him a distant memory. Lady Patrice is not playing games. She is through with men. 

Nikolai Baranov is the son of a Russian grand duke and spy for Tzar Alexander I. When his father and associates are killed, Nikolai doesn’t play games. The only thing worth winning is revenge for his family. When a blizzard blankets Sommer-by-the-Sea, Lady Patrice is the only one who can help the mysterious wounded Russian she finds in her hunting lodge. 

It will take Nikolai’s skill as a spy and Lady Patrice’s expertise at solving puzzles to play through and win the game, a happily ever after.


My Review

This is the second book in The Ladies of Sommer by the Sea series. This is an excellent Historical Romance series. The characters are amazing. Lady Patrice is a wonderful character, intelligent, strong, and determined. Nikolai, a Russian spy, is very handsome, strong, and enigmatic. Their slow burn romance is beautiful. They are perfect together! I liked how they teamed up to solve and win the game. The supporting characters are great and interesting. The storyline is original, entertaining, captivating, and intriguing, filled with adventures, puzzle games, intrigue, danger, and romance. Impossible to put it down. I liked the humor in this story. Looking forward to reading The Lady and Her Duke, the next book in the series. This excellent series definitely is a GEM. I HIGHLY recommend it!


Read an Excerpt

She made her way deeper into the forest where the pine canopy captured the snow and shielded the forest floor. Here the snow wasn’t as deep. As she followed the forest path, a pattern of prints in the snow caught her attention, not an animal’s, but a human’s, prints. Her gaze followed the track. It led toward the lodge.

She hurried on and stopped to bend down for a closer look. Her stomach squeezed. Blood stains spattered the prints. She looked up toward the lodge.

Henry? The wild boar? She stood and checked the sky in the direction of the lodge. No smoke. Was the boy too badly hurt to start a fire?

She took off at a run. Her only thought was Henry.

Her muffled footfalls pounded and crunched on the forest ground as she ran. Afraid of what she’d find when she reached the lodge, she hurried. She pushed dangling branches out of her way as she broke past them, sending a cascade of snow in her wake.

There was only one set of footprints, but the blood stains were getting bigger as she raced along.

Had the boy made it to the lodge? Would she find him buried in the snow?

The gusts of wind picked up as she came to the clearing. The snow was coming down heavily now, making it nearly impossible to see more than a few feet in front of her. She could deal with that, but it covered the prints and blood. If Henry moved off the path, she might not find him in time.

Exhausted, her legs and back aching, she stopped and clung onto a tree as she caught her breath. She didn’t usually go to the lodge from this direction but was close.

Moving on, she kept watch through the snow drenched branches and finally made out the faint outline of the lodge ahead. Relieved, she hurried to the building. She wiped the ice from her eyelashes and climbed the steps onto the porch.

Blood stained the lodge door. Without stopping, she hurried inside, ready to help the boy, but she stopped with legs-shaking, heart-straining, chest-tightening, fear.

An unconscious person lay face-down on her sofa.

It wasn’t Henry.

Release Blitz: Second Chance Scandal by M. Robinson

 


Release Date: February 22 

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a second chance sports romance.



Blackmail isn’t the most romantic way to propose, but with the history between us … I had no choice. 

Long story short--I broke her heart and pushed her away. Years later we reconnected, and this time she walked away. 

Neither of us knew she was pregnant.

So when we had a second chance to be a real family, I led her to believe our marriage was fake— that one football season by my side was the only way to prevent another scandal for my career. 

We were a publicist’s dream. I was football god and she was a world famous romance author. 

The world would fall in love with our story…

But the truth was… 

I was never letting them go.

My Review


This is the third book in the Second Chance series. I liked Jax and Sophie's story. Jax is handsome, and enigmatic. Sophie is beautiful, and strong. Their relationship is filled with miscommunication, and misunderstanding. Their son is a sweet kid. This is a good and sweet second chance to love. The story has family drama, angst, and some twists and turns. The back and forth, past to present, is well done and easy to follow. I loved to see again the characters from the first books. I enjoyed it.

Audiobooks Reviews: Elizabeth O'Roark's books

A Deal with the Devil
A Steamy Enemies-to-Lovers Romance
Narrated by: Rose Dioro
Length: 9 hrs and 29 mins







Blurb

He might not be the devil, but working under him for six weeks is my idea of hell.

Hayes Flynn is an arrogant jerk known best for his scotch habit and the way he spreads his British “charm” all over Hollywood, never with the same woman twice. 

He’s the last person I want to work for - except he has a face I can’t look away from, and the longer we’re together, the harder he is to hate. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn’t want to show - one that was badly broken a decade earlier.

A part of me wants to fix it for him before I leave…but can I do it without breaking my own in the process?


My Review 

Tali and Hayes is beautifully written, and captivating. Their story is heartwarming, sizzling, and sweet. Tali is beautiful, caring, and supportive. Hayes is handsome, arrogant, charming, enigmatic, and hardworking. They are opposites attract. I liked their slow burn romance, their flirting, and their banter. They share a sizzling hot chemistry. This is a great office romance. Impossible to put it down. Rose Dioro did an excellent job with the narration. I like her voice. I enjoyed it! Looking forward to listening to The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, Drew's story.

Audiobook Review: Try Right by Jill Brashear


Try Right: A Friends to Lovers Romance
Series: Aloha Series, Book 3
Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins






Blurb

She’s on a mission to reunite with her soul mate. He’s the fool who agreed to help her.

A year ago Claudia was Hollywood’s most sought-after actress, now the only role she can get is a bit part in a TV series filmed in Hawaii. She can’t afford to say no, and Hawaii offers something more than CPR for her career - it’s the home of her first love, a man she’s been dreaming of for six years.

Henry is the best in the business. The fearless stuntman is used to standing in for the leading man. He’s never wanted to be the star until Claudia saunters onto set wearing the shortest shorts he’s ever seen.

Her long legs, killer smile, and biting wit make his heart race like he’s in a speeding car heading straight for a crash. When an unorthodox bet throws them together, he reluctantly agrees to help her track down her long-lost love.

Now he just has to keep himself from doing something stupid, like falling in love with her.

This retro Hawaiian Romance set in 1968 contains piggy-back rides up Diamond Head Crater, skinny dipping in paradise, and a pair of friends who can’t keep their hands off each other.


My Review

This is the third book in the Aloha Series. Claudia and Henry's story is beautifully written, fun, sexy, emotional, and heartwarming. Henry is handsome, and supportive. Claudia is beautiful, and smart. The storyline has drama, angst, and secrets. I liked the scenery! This is a great friends to lovers. Teddy Hamilton and Mackenzie Cartwright did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it!

Length: 5 hrs and 59 mins




Blurb


What happens when a stalker threatens your life and you’re flown to a private beach house with your sexy new bodyguard? You break the rules and hope he falls madly in love with you.

The End of Us is an opposites-attract forbidden age-gap stand-alone romance.



My Review

This is the third book in the Love in Isolation series. Wow! I loved it! This is an excellent forbidden age-gap, forced proximity standalone romance. Piper and Tristan’s story is beautifully written. Tristan, Piper’s new bodyguard, is handsome, alpha, very protective, and caring. Piper is a popular and dedicated influencer and a spoiled billionaire heiress. She is virgin, stubborn, sassy, passionate, and feisty. She definitely is very entertaining! They are opposites attract, but they are perfect together. I like how they complement each other. They share a sizzling hot chemistry. The storyline is fast-paced, steamy, and captivating, filled with romance, humor, mystery, and a little suspense. The supporting characters are amazing. Tristan’s brother Easton is handsome, and I can't wait to listen to his story! Andy Arndt and Sebastian York did a wonderful job with the dual narration. The audio production is perfection. This is an excellent team authors/narrators. I enjoyed it! Looking forward to listening to The Heart of Us, the next book in the series. I love this series, and I highly recommend it!

ABOUT THE BOOK
My instincts had always served me well.
Listening to my gut, the warning voice in my head that told me when to walk away.
I never failed to heed the signs.
Until the day she walked into my office.
I knew she would be trouble, but I ignored the alarm bells.
And then it was too late, and I fell. Hard.
A lie tore us apart, and I thought I’d lost her forever.
But now she’s back—with a secret she’s been keeping.
This time, I’m not letting her go.

Release Blitz: The Lies You Love By Rachel Robinson

Release Date: February 3

Auden
In a quest to forget my ex left me to marry a man, I turned to a few flings. Okay, more than a few, but I dare anyone to judge me after the life I’ve endured. Then, a one-night stand gets a little blurry in the emotions department. He’s muscular, smooth talking, and the chemistry is so hot that thinking about him makes me buzz. The catch is he can only commit to a one month fling. It’s so good, I agree, but it’s obvious there’s something between us that can’t be ignored. His secrets are deep, and I don’t want to get burned again yet, walking away is impossible.

Beck
I spend one month on duty guarding my Principal, and one month off letting loose. That’s my schedule, and I’m okay with it until I meet her. The night we meet is a little fuzzy, but our connection is not. When I wake up in the morning and discover my life-altering one-night stand is my Principal’s best friend, I know I’m doomed, but I make excuses to keep Auden for as long as I can. That is until both their lives are in danger and I can only save one.
My duty and honor, or the woman who I’ve fallen mercilessly for?

Always protect the heartbeat.

My Review 
This is the second book in the Charge Men series, a Romantic Suspense. Auden and Beck's story is suspenseful, action packed, and captivating! They share an instant attraction, and their chemistry is hot! The opening scene is breathtaking! The storyline is an emotional rollercoaster, filled with mystery, secrets, and intrigue. I liked the twists and turns. Impossible to put it down. I enjoyed it.
