    Meet Patrick Cleary: party boy, loser, and spaz. Patrick’s been trying desperately to transform himself, and the results have been so spectacular, they’ve almost killed him. Meet Wes “Whiskey” Keenan: he’s a field biologist wondering if it’s time to settle down. When the worst day of Patrick’s life ends with Whiskey saving it, Patrick and Whiskey find themselves sharing company and an impossibly small berth on the world’s tackiest houseboat. Patrick needs to get his life together and Whiskey wants to help.

    At 19, Ashley seemed to have everything: looks, talent, and even a girlfriend. What more could a young man want? But soon he has to come to terms with his sexuality and the possible implications for his career in the public eye as a male model. He begins dating Chris, but isn't sure he's head over heels in love. It's not the knight-in-shining-armor feeling he thought it would be. Then Ashley gets the chance to leave his hometown in Canada to visit sunny California for a big modeling job.

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    No really! The Canadian setting is lovely but the rest is not enough to recommend the book


    What was most disappointing about Charlie David’s story?

    Felt like author was adding unnecessary twists to fill in the number of pages required.
    As well, although the author may not have intended to show any bias, but to have him point out that one character was of native decent and have that person be the one truly unlikable character in the book, just does not sit well with me at all!


    What three words best describe Charlie David’s voice?

    light and funny in the beginning - towards the end of the book, most of the voices sounded the same.

    Baltimore is a city in alarming distress. Rising violence is fanning the flames of public outrage. Thus the FBI’s latest ideas to improve public relations: a municipal softball league and workshops for community leaders. But the new commitments just mean more time Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have to spend apart when they’re happily exploring how to be more than by-the-book partners. Then the latest spate of crime explodes in their faces—literally.

    What made the experience of listening to Divide and Conquer the most enjoyable?

    I just love these books and reading about Ty and Zane's growing relationship is fabulous!


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Hard to pick between the 2, but I do like the stoic Zane


    Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Yes, not usually my favourite, but he did very well here and in Fish and Chips


    Any additional comments?

    Please add the rest of the books to Audible... although I have the whole series, it is always good to walk while listening to them banter.

    Six years ago, Jeff Beachum comforted a frightened teenager outside an HIV treatment clinic, and Collin Waters has remembered his kindness ever since. Now, after six years of crushing on the kind, brown-eyed sweetheart of his dreams, Collin is feeling adult and together enough to make his move. Too bad fate, which has never been kind to Jeff, has something else in mind.

    What did you love best about Living Promises?

    It felt like it was written for all the characters encountered in the first 2 books


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    because it was too full of other stories, Jeff & Colin got lost & I did not feel a connection to their relationship even though it was well presented.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul Morey?

    Yes, I usually really like his narration but it fell short in this book. The voices were unconvincing and more so than Book II, I felt that Mr. Morey did not have a good grasp of his characters. For example it made no sense for me at least why the voice "big stupid cop" kept getting younger, while Crick's 17 year-old sister started to sound like a mature man.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Crick and Deacon after the operation!

    Xander Karcek has only wanted two things in his life: Christian Edwards and basketball—the man he loves and the game that let him escape a childhood he’d rather forget. His two obsessions have served him well. He and Chris beat the odds and stayed together through high school, college, and right on to the NBA. But life under fame’s microscope isn’t easy, especially when two men are pretending to be frat-buddies so the world doesn’t know they’re the next best thing to married.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Locker Room to be better than the print version?

    NO - and I have both


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I love both MCs, but I liked Leo too


    What didn’t you like about Michael Anthony’s performance?

    the sound effects sounded superficial and fake, should have not been done.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Both


    Any additional comments?

    I love Amy Lane's books, I wish this one's narration was better because the story is wonderful.

    Instead of saying "I do" to Mr. Irresistible, Lucy Jorik hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle with a rough looking, bad-tempered stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. While the world searches for her, Lucy must search for herself, and she quickly realizes that her customary good manners are no defense against a man who's raised rudeness to an art form. Lucy needs to toughen up - and fast. Her great escape takes her to his rambling beach house on a Great Lakes island. Here, she hopes to find a new direction...and to unlock the secrets of this man who knows so much about her.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    Although I generally like SEP's novels, and have been waiting for this one, this book was way long - with too much side details. The development of story-line and characters this time was below her other novels. I kept thinking just finish the book already. It was actually boring at parts, annoying at others and the end was hardly convincing!


    What could Susan Elizabeth Phillips have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    make it shorter.


    What three words best describe Shannon Cochran’s voice?

    was better with her last SEP novel

    Ever since his longtime lover decided he'd seen the "heterosexual light", Matt's life has been in a nosedive. Six months of too many missed shifts at the hospital, too much booze, too many men. Matt knows he's on the verge of losing everything, but he's finding it hard to care. Then Matt meets Aaron. He's gorgeous, intelligent, and apparently not interested in being picked up. But newfound happiness is threatened when Matt begins to suspect Aaron is hiding something - or someone....
