A Great Listen...

A Review for each Novella:

The Dark Horse - The story of Sean and Daniel...what a great tale. Though I figured out who...I was surprised at some of the constructs of the story. A great story...

A Vintage Affair - An interesting tale...Austin was a bit much but the premise of the story invited such a character as he. Jeff was infuriating but understandable. I am going to imagine that this was indeed a truly HEA! A good listen!

Blood Red Butterfly - This was an interesting and thought-provoking story...the action and the interaction between Kai and Ryo was intense and engaging. A pretty good story!!

Don't Look Back - Imagine not having any recent memory...this was an intense story and I enjoyed it immensely. I didn't want it to be who it turned out to be but the outlying of a narcissist...who would have thunk. Really enjoyed this story...did I mention that?.

Lovers and Other Strangers - I enjoyed the "who-dunnit" aspect of the story but I was a bit saddened at the premise. I mean, three years and nobody inquired about a person who had not been heard from...a twin to boot. I understand that the situation warrants anger and withdrawal, but it just bothered me a bit more than perhaps it should that a family member, regardless what douche, can be missing and if it were not for the car crash that Finn was in, would anybody have looked for the other twin...but I did enjoy the story.

Cards on the Table - This was a great story...I was engaged from the beginning sentence and enjoyed the intrigue and the budding relationship between the protagonists. A great listen!

Entertaining listening for the commute

Some racy scenes might not be appropriate for playing on speaker, but good stories that held my interest through all 6. The pause between could be longer.

Josh Lanyon is my all time favorite<br />

I've listened to most Mr. Lanyon books and can't wait to rent the
extra one. Keep em coming. Thank you Audible

Thrillers & relationships worked out simulaneously

If you could sum up Male/Male Mystery and Suspense Box Set in three words, what would they be?

Bonafide mysteries cum love stories

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I was on edge in almost all of them.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

2 of the narrators' voices were strong. One was higher pitched more effeminate. So I stopped listening to the story he narrated whose setting was in the south. It may be that this is how the narrator was directed to speak.

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

I was tearyat tmes when the ingenue guy is finally wrapped in the arms of the man he loves, although he never thought this person could be trusted to love him back.

Any additional comments?

Good plot construction, good writing with creative metaphors. I'd recommend it.
My favorite is "Lovers and other Strangers" whose setting is on an island town off Maine. When I read it a second time from the beginning I see the significance of many setting and character details that I glossed over at first. This story is the one that lingered with me a few days.

So many stories

Chock full of great stories by Josh Lanyon. Awesome set of narrators. Highly recommended if you’re a Fanyon.

I loved this book!

All of these stories were great. I loved how each one was there own. No real connection but all great stories.

Loved these short Stories.

I love stumbling on new Authors and even better is when I stumble upon Jason’s earlier work.. He’s such an amazing talent... He has really grown in the past few years with his voice. Love Lance and Chris have is new to me so I ll have to check out more... Definitely worth the credit.

Hours of Fun

Love listening to Josh Lanyon MM mysteries on Audible. Or reading them on my Kindle.

More fun than a bag of puppies

Very enjoyable bunch of stories; diverse, nerve wracking at times but every one worth listening too.

Great voices

I enjoyed all of the novellas, the narration made them even better. I found myself listening to the stories at home and in the car. (I typically only listen when I'm in the office) if you are looking for hood narration, good plots - buy this set!
