My Reviews

The Bachelor With A Bit Of Big Brother And Survivor Thrown In.

Vacation Bride is the first title in the Brides of Paradise Series by Vicky Loebel.

Emily Beresford narrates.

HEA, no cliffhangers!

Being the first, it could be read as a standalone, but I always advise to read in order to get the most out of the experience.

Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins

Content Warning: Per the authors site: (Series rated PG for just a touch of heat.)

♥ Story ♥

This title is now available as part of the Audible Romance Package. The ebook counterpart is available through the Kindle Unlimited program and includes a sneak peek at book #2.

This is a PG story, but still entertaining! The characters are endearing and make you want hear more so you can see how it turns out for the rest of the cousins.

Neither one of the main characters really want to be part of the “Vacation Bride“, but do so reluctantly to benefit their loved ones. I don’t blame them, because this show is completely ridiculous! The sad thing is, I can totally see girls doing this in real life. It’s basically a combination of several reality shows in one.

All participants get to bring one stylist with them, and our heroine, Anna,  brings her father. Not as disastrous as you would think. As with most reality dating show, most of the girls are B@#$hes to each other but sluts to the Bachelor, and that causes all kinds of crazy. The most crazy cake is taken by the Host of this lovely program. Trust me, she is evil! To prevent spoilers in this review, please see the Read Along  if you want more details.

It’s worth the credit if you don’t have a subscription to the Audible’s Romance Package. Book #2 is also in the plan and I can’t wait to listen!

Emily Beresford did well with all the characters she voices. Both male and female have clear distinction! This was my first listen by this narrator and I would definitely listen to anything else she voices.

Review: Beast by Sky Corgan

My ReviewsWhat if the Beast was a hitman and Belle was his target?

Beast is a Standalone by Sky Corgan.

♥ Story ♥

Kendall ❤ Dyson

Beast is packed with action! The hero and heroine are both strong resourceful individuals. It’s a fresh take on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

Sky Corgan is normally known for her more racier reads, but this one is more action than spice. If you don’t like hot sex and dirty talk you can just skip chapter 8, and you should be good.

♥

“I KILL PEOPLE FOR A living. If they’re lucky, I only have to rough them up. It’s rare they’re lucky.”
— Beast

Beast

Dyson Fidler is a hit-man. His current job is to acquire the daughter of renowned scientist and keep her hidden in a secure hideout in the middle of no where. Obtaining his target was easy. Maintaining her is proving to be difficult. Avoiding falling in love is impossible.

The Beast has problems because his boss will not accept failure. It could come down to his life or Kendall’s, and he knows he won’t be able to end hers.

♥

“If you were scared, you wouldn’t do this stupid shit to begin with.”
— Beast

Kendall Deridder

In true beauty and the beast fashion Belle Kendall’s father is most times lost in his inventions, except this one is actually a success! Everyone wants to get their hands on it, and some are willing to go to ANY measure to get it. Kendall and her father flee to a remote hideaway, but not remote enough to stop the Beast.

In the hands of the Beast, she doesn’t cower. She is determined to rescue herself. She isn’t without honor though. When he comes to her rescue, she can’t leave him to die, and thus begins their true story.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

I love the use of modern day science to tell this adaptation of a classic fairy tale. It makes the story more real. The sexy fun times in the middle make it even better. The new twists keep it fresh and make it a great listen.

Not as sexy of a listen by Sky Corgan as some of her other titles but it was still Hot! In exchange for some of the heat we get more action.

Review: Revenge Games (Revenge Games Duet Book 1)

18 November 2019 / Reviews / , , , , , , , ,

My ReviewsA fairly clean story was not what I was expecting.

Revenge Games is the first part of the Revenge Games Duet by Sky Corgan.

Arthur J. Hoyt narrates the duet.

HFN, PART ONE!

♥ Story ♥

The Revenge Games Duet is different than what I have listened to thus far from Sky Corgan.

Part one, Revenge Games, is practically clean. Most naughty words were used in anger and not lust.

Willow Stroop is our heroine, and it sets up two potential heros in Caleb Ryan and Peter Burgett. I kept waiting for it to turn into a menage, or lay the ground work for it to unfold in part two. It’s still a possibility, but I don’t think it will be that kind of story at all.

This changes points of view amongst all the main players: Willow, Caleb, Peter, and Becky. It’s curious to see the story through all the different eyes. It also helps soften some of their more harsher aspects.

I have mixed emotions. I want to root for Willow and her adventures to claim a new life. One that is free from all the strife of her childhood experiences. Obtain that guy you think is just out of reach, make the mean girls eat their words, and make all the guys that didn’t give you the time of day, drool as you dismiss them like that they did you. However, she makes it very hard. She is a bit of an A-hole. The fact that Peter is a bit of an A-hole too, makes them meant for each other. All of which leaves you feeling bad for Caleb.

I’m hoping for more in part 2. Perhaps a new love interest for Caleb, because the other female, Becky, is not a good choice for him either. Despite the HFN ending, I think it needs part 2 to make it whole.

Arthur J. Hoyt performed the four points of view well. Only time he ran into issue was when the two males were conversing with one another. One seemed to come out derpy. The females were excellent, especially for a male narrator.

Christiana ❤ Xander

This one started in a much different place for me then where I ended up.

Dirty talk with wicked demands, makes for one spicy story! So if you don’t like sex, please pass.

♥

“I only want you to ever be with one man, too.” … “Me.”

Xander Sanderlin

When the story firsts starts, I didn’t like our hero. I could not tell if Xan was just an A-hole, or if there was something more to him. Being an erotic story, it could go either way. I couldn’t tell if he was mocking the heroine and breaking her faith was a conquest thing for him (because that would be downright hateful) or if there was an actual non-sinister reason for his actions.

I can’t really comment more without spoiling something. I will leave you with this kernel for thought: Xan is an A-hole, but let it all play out before you make your final judgment.

♥

“Let me claim you. I’ll make you mine forever.”

Christiana Miller

I don’t know how she went from working on a farm to correcting scan tron test, but that’s what she does for a living, and it supposedly pays well. Does this job even really exist? Or, let me rephrase that, does this actually exist in the US?

Christiana is a self professed obsessive Christian, who’s an Amish outcast along with her mother. So of course she’s a virgin, but she needs the special promotion Xan offers her to pay her ailing mother’s doctor bills. Secretly, she likes his smexy attention, so it gets hot real fast.

♥

“You’re killing me, Christiana. Your pussy is so wet and tight. I might die if you don’t let me in.”

This was, ‘need a fresh pair of undies when your done’, hot!

The ending will surprise you. It made me smile for sure.

Definitely worth the credit!

Two wounded souls come together in the most delicious way!

This is a SPICY story!

There is a lot of dirty talk and HOT action, so if you don’t like that kind of stuff, please pass.

If you DO like it, then please enjoy!

Did I mention Sexy Times!

Yum!

This was fan yourself good!
I think it went on a little too long and maybe could of done without the teary moment in the back half, but overall it worked. It gets a girl excited to listen to more. If you are like me and like some hot sexy fun times to go with good character driven stories, then this is a listen for you!

This is my 1st read/listen by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss. Since this is a joint effort, I will have to rate them both the same, which is sexy hot! I loved the characters plus all the dirty talk and action! I will be looking into more from these ladies for sure.

Jennifer Mack and Lance Greenfield alternate on this title by chapter point of view. They both did an excellent job with both story and character. I did prefer Lance’s voice when it came to Luke. Jennifer did a good job, which would of been great if she was solo on this. Unfortunately for her, Lance’s sexy gruff was just so much sexier. In an ideal world, when there are more than one narrator, the ‘voice’ of any character would be done by the same person regardless of point of view.
