Sharps and Springfield, Book 1

De: Morgan Brice

Narrado por: John Solo

Secret agents, forbidden love, danger, and magic!

Supernatural Secret Service agents Owen Sharps and Calvin Springfield meet on the train to their new assignment in St. Louis, and sparks fly between them. But it's 1897, and they need to be very careful—falling in love can be dangerous for men like them.

It's their first case together, investigating mysterious disappearances-including the two agents who preceded them. Grim evidence leads them to look for a darker purpose. Old ghosts haunt the railroad line, zombie rise, signs point to ritual sacrifice, and they suspect someone is trying to open the gates of hell.

Can Calvin and Owen stop the mayhem, thwart the vampires, and find true love, or will everything go up in smoke?

Contains mature themes.

A fun supernatural queer romance.

4 Stars, This was a great book. I will absolutely read / listen to this again and I want to return to this book’s universe.

This is a good story with very realistic characters in a supernatural setting. I enjoyed the world building too. The spice is really only at the end and I would consider it moderate to explicit. There are themes of historical homophobia as a topic but it’s not extreme. I would and will read more in this series.

As a side note I think the audiobook narrator did a fantastic job at diversity and consistency.

nice easy listen

brings to mind the an old TV show. Wild wild west? with the customized Pullman car

Wonderful new begining.

I liked the book very much and hope there is a second book very soon

Great time period, love the wait on love

I really loved this time period. I could picture the costumes, scenery. I also enjoyed the home that they lived in and Winston. He’s superb. A fantastic secondary character who adds so much to the story. I also enjoyed how the women were strong and confident in a time when that wasn’t a thing. I very much enjoyed this book. And can’t wait for more of Owen & Calvin’s story.

So Good!

This first in a hopefully long series hits all my steam punk paranormal magic romance buttons. Looking forward to the next book!

A Strong Kickoff

A strong kickoff to a new series. I’m looking forward to where the characters go next.

Didn't quite meet potential

The story idea was intriguing and the plot was pretty good. The narrator did well with what he had.

My problem with this book is the repetitive "What if he doesn't share my proclivities? " Nearly every chapter was half good plot and half "what if?" To keep the "what if" going, the main characters always managed to jump to the wrong conclusions about each other. After a while I didn't even care if the idiots figured out they had the same "proclivities."

DNF at 50ish%

Jumps suddenly back and forth from plot to sex constantly and so abruptly that I don’t actually know what is happening. Vampires? Oh okay that’s interesting cool wait what does that have to do with this other rando’s penis? Even in the first chapter. You shouldn’t have to concentrate to listen to a book like this.
