Audiobook Review: Instant Gratification by Lauren Blakely

November 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

I’ve been listening to the Audibly Addicted podcast and they talk a lot about duet narration audiobooks–where narrators read all the dialogue assigned to their character. This is relatively new to me and seems to be a popular narration style in the indie romance world. Lauren Blakley takes this to a whole new level withRead the Post

Audiobook Review: Delaney’s Desert Sheikh by Brenda Jackson

October 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Scarlet Nights by Jude Deveraux

January 1, 2020 Leave a Comment

A few years ago, when I worked in a corporate office some co-workers in the cubes around me discovered Overdrive and were listening to the Nantucket Brides series by Jude Deveraux. As one of my co-workers was telling me about the plot of the book I was like “Yeah, Jude Deveraux has a ton ofRead the Post
