4 stars — This book is totally outside of what I normally read, so I think I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I definitely enjoyed Graham Halstead as the voice of Jamie — his narration was solid, and I’ve enjoyed him in the past. His pacing was great, his voices were solid, […]
3.5 stars — I both listened and read this book. This was another one of those books that while I couldn’t find fault with the narrator (and in fact I’ve enjoyed Ms. Guest in other audiobooks), I just had a harder time getting sucked in when listening. But when I would switch to reading, it […]
3.5 stars — I started this one by listening to the audiobook, but it really did not capture my attention in that format. It wasn’t that the narrator was bad, I thought she was quite good. But I think there was something about the narrative that just didn’t work for my distracted mind. So I switched […]
4 stars — HAAAALLLLLVAAAAAAARRRRDDDD!!!! Needless to say I was a wee bit excited when I figured out this was his story. (especially since it’s not mentioned in the blurb) I definitely enjoyed myself, and while I gave it the same rating, I would say I enjoyed the first book more…but I would almost bump that […]
5 stars — Well, I was thoroughly entertained! I always feel weird when I end a book and I’m like “5 stars!!!” Because in general I just don’t give them out very much, but I gotta go with my gut. Does that mean this book was flawless? Nope. But I seriously enjoyed myself that much. […]
4.5 stars — I’m not a historical romance reader…I just don’t gravitate towards it. But damn, I am definitely putting Tessa Dare on my list of “always take a chance on her”!! I LOVED this one! I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Wells narration — even the male POV as well! Sometimes it was hard to initially […]
4 stars — Wow. This one was fairly slow to start, and while I was enjoying it, I wasn’t wowed. It had some moments of repetition, and there were some pacing problems where I felt like there could have been some editing down. But then I got sucked right the fuck in, and holy cow […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me. I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, […]
Blurb: What if you discovered there was “time” before time began? What if everything you thought was true, was not? What if there was a beginning before “In the beginning”; another story unfolding within our time, steeped in loss, love, betrayal, and secrets. Welcome to Eden where magic was born, trees are gateways to other realms […]
