Fractured Sky: The Tattered and Torn Series by Catherine Cowles Narrated by Erin Mallon and Joe Arden Romantic Suspense. Can *maybe* stand alone. “When you see the darkness, it makes you appreciate the light.” Catherine Cowles became a top 3 author for me before Fractured Sky released, and she certainly cemented that spot with her best book yet. Though the… Read More
Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau Narrated by Caitlin Kinnunen Women’s Fiction. 1970s. Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau is my favorite book so far this year! It’s a character-based coming-of-age story from the POV of 14-year-old Mary Jane in 1975. Make no mistake though, this is an adult book. I was 8 in 1975, but with two older sisters,… Read More
Call Me Maybe & Sweet Talk by Cara Bastone Call Me Maybe Narrated by Luci Christian & Neil Hellegers Sweet Talk Narrated by Lidia Dornet and Chris Brinkley Romantic Comedy Made for Audio.

The Grip Series: Flow, Grip and Still by Kennedy Ryan Narrated by Jakobi Diem and Maxine Mitchell Contemporary Romance Trilogy I listened to The Grip Trilogy by Kennedy Ryan back in July.

Games of the Heart by Kristen Ashley Narrated by Rachel Fulginiti Part of an interrelated series. Stands alone easily. Contemporary Romance. I read Games of the Heart by Kristen Ashley back in 2012 and it immediately became an all-time favorite. Since I am listening to audiobooks faster than I can review them, I figured I’d grab a nice, juicy, long… Read More
Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec Narrated by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber Contemporary Romance. Stands alone, but there is a companion novella. Some of my favorite audiobooks are re-reads of favorite books. Fisher’s Light was a HUGE 5+++ star favorite in 2015, so when I saw it was out in audio, I decided to grab it and give it a… Read More
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon Narrated by Cassandra Campbell WWII Forbidden Romance. Standalone. I haven’t read a WWII era book since high school. I am not a lover of sad and ugly cry books. I read to be happy. But I read so many people saying that From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon was a favorite of… Read More
The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley, Narrated by Tillie Hooper Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone.

So I grabbed the first two from audible (they are the only ones released right now in audio, the rest… Read More
Tattoos & Tatas by Tara Sivec (Chocoholics 2.5) Emotional and Funny. Can stand alone. Since I have read and reviewed the Tattoos and Tatas e-book by Tara Sivec already, I am going to attach my initial review with some new feelings after listening to the audiobook a few months later. Hands down, the BEST audiobook narration I have heard. I… Read More
