Story
I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

The characters were actually really cute. Griffin is the sweetest rockstar I’ve ever read about, and Luca’s character was kind and relatable. This story just didn’t hold my interest 🥱. It was too sweet 🍭 for me 🤷🏻♀️, but I can see this book working well for people who enjoy sweeter romances.

🐦 My new favorite MM love story! 🐦
Reviewed: 01-11-25
Just when I think I've read my favorite Suanne Laqueur novel, she gives me THIS.
I have so many thoughts and emotions about this book--all of them are positive, glowing, and full of praise. A Charm of Finches may be my favorite MM relationship and romance story to date. The pacing is intentionally slow, ensuring the impact of the character's journeys to hit me right in the feels. There is so much more than romance in this story though—it's a book about trauma (seriously, the triggers are very heavy in this one), being okay with who you are, s****l exploration, and learning to take things slowly to understand the choices you're making and the consent you're giving really sink in.
There is a main character in the story that isn't part of Stef and Jav's romance (his story is told in parallel to theirs), but fate would have his life intersect with Jav and Stef at just the right time. Geno becomes a therapy client of Stef's, and his story (from his trauma, to trying to deal with things on his own, to his therapy) deeply moved me.
A Charm of Finches isn't just about Jav's third chance at love (even though it was the reason I was excited to pick it up)—it transcends that, and left me with a lot to think about. I recommend this story to anyone willing to read a profound story about love, life and healing.
“You’re the last chapter,” Jav said. “I went from the prologue to you. I skipped everything in the middle. I got sensational instead of suck. I got a best friend instead of the bullshi!t. Now I’m in love with you and it’s everything I wanted, it’s everything I’m terrified of losing, I’m scared to death and I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. This is not what I wrote.”
P.S. The audiobook is narrated in solo narration by Darren Eliker, and I highly recommend it. His performance was perfect.

Time. That's all I have now. A small room, a photograph, and time. They want me to trust them and confess my sins. They told me they wouldn't judge me - they lied. I thought we could convince the world that this wasn't a crime. We were wrong. Time doesn't stand still. The clock keeps ticking, the world is unconvinced, and now… Now he is gone.

If you’re looking for a predictable student-teacher romance that follows conventional forbidden romance storytelling, you won’t find that here. What you will find is creative writing through past and present plot-lines told in parallel, morally ambiguous characters with depth, and an HEA that some might find unsatisfying. Me? I didn’t find anything that was unsatisfying about it at all. The way the story was told kept me engaged from the beginning of the book through the very end of it. I loved this story—it has become one of my favorite forbidden romances. I’m thrilled that I decided to pick it up.
“It wasn’t good, and it wasn’t evil—it was just love.”
P.S. The audiobook was fantastic. It’s perfectly narrated in dual style by Chelsea Hatfield and J.F. Harding.

⌛️ This book was an adventure!⌛️
Reviewed: 01-03-25
I loved this story and all the twists and turns it took me on. The reason I am rating this book 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because of some of the decisions that Quinn made toward the end of the book. Girl, I know you are smarter than that! You were warned! And then you got defensive about it. You may know what I'm referring to if you've read the book. I loved the result of her actions, and I understand why it was added to the story and the point it was trying to get across to the reader, but her thought process wasn't like the Quinn I knew from the first part of the story. However, that was my only gripe. This book was fantastic and I truly loved it.
Also, the audio performances were phenomenal. It's narrated in dual style by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor, and they knocked it out of the park, proving once again why they are powerhouse narrators in the romance community.

When The Power of Kindness first appeared in 2006 it thrilled and challenged listeners with one audacious promise: Your acts of generosity and decency are the secret to a fuller, more satisfying life. Kindness is not some squishy virtue but the very key to your own happiness. With nearly 125,000 copies sold, we're celebrating the book's tenth anniversary with this new edition, featuring a complete new chapter by Piero Ferrucci on the theme of "Harmlessness", which joins his other chapters on virtues such as "Honesty", "Warmth", and "Loyalty".

This is a decent book with good messages, but it was occasionally a drag to get through. The flow felt choppy. The narration was fine. I didn’t have any issues with it.

Parallel has been on my TBR for ages, and I am kicking myself for not picking it up sooner! I loved this story and the characters! I have soooo many questions as I head right into book 2. I have a feeling that a few of my theories were right, but also… €}€~+{+]€!!,,€,^~*{&&&!!! Gah. So many questions, too!
This was time travel romance done remarkably well. This book ends on a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book! If you pick this up, cancel your weekend plans because you won’t want to put this down!
P.S. The audiobook for this is stellar. It’s narrated in dual style by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. Need I say more? 👏🏻

Allies have become enemies, and new faces are threatening to derail my life. Someone's keeping secrets. My control is fraying.

I really enjoyed this story—especially the end. It was action packed! The narration was done well too. I sometimes have a hard time with dual narration in a reverse harem story, and did occasionally struggle to keep the male characters straight, but other than that, it worked well for me.

You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me....

There are only two ways a human can cross the gates of Bloodstone Institute: as a familiar to one of the Blueblood vampires who attend the elite school or as a snack. I'm neither, but I have to get in at all costs. My brother made a big mistake, and now I have to fix it by stealing from the most powerful and cruel vampire to ever come to Bloodstone, Lucca Della Morte. If that wasn't almost suicidal, I need to get it done before the spell concealing my human nature wears off.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

Beautiful, slow burn 🔥 contemporary romance!
Reviewed: 12-15-24
This book hit my mood just right, and I didn’t want to stop listening to it. Charlotte was a sunshine heroine, and she wore her heart on her sleeve. She was perfect for Reid—our guarded hero, afraid to love again. For a contemporary romance (which I don’t tend to gravitate toward), this hit all the right notes for me, and I really enjoyed it. “S€x on wheels!” 🛞😂
