Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,592
Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line.

I wished there had been more, but that is always the case with a novella. I enjoyed the story, the descriptions make you feel like you were being blown and battered around in the hurricane. Good job Ms. Fey. The characters attraction sizzled. The various twists and turns kept you guessing as to the outcome. A good beginning to a great series. I've enjoyed all of Chrys Fey's Disaster Crime books and highly recommend them.

Mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord, are struggling to solve a heartbreaking crisis. Unable to control their beasts, many of the Pack’s shape-shifting children fail to survive to adulthood. While there is a medicine that can help, the secret to its making is closely guarded by the European packs, and there’s little available in Atlanta. Kate can’t bear to watch innocents suffer, but the solution she and Curran have found threatens to be even more painful. The European shape-shifters who once outmaneuvered the Beast Lord have asked him to arbitrate a dispute - and they’ll pay him in medicine.

Riveting Story of espionage and romance
Reviewed: 07-16-18
This is the second audio book I’ve enjoyed from Stanalei Fletcher and narrator Charles Henderson Norman. The narrator brings Stanalei’s characters to life and the settings are explained in great detail. I like the feeling of being in the story rather than just reading it.
Riley O’Neal objects posing as anyone’s husband and especially when it’s the very woman who deceived him on a previous mission. US Army Lt. Mary "Chip" Anderson tries to remain objective during the undercover mission. When things go wrong and Chip is kidnapped while trying to rescue a senator’s wife who also happens to be her friend, it’s up to Riley to save the women and avert the threat. The twists and turns keep you guessing until the very end.
I enjoy fast-paced romances with suspense and intrigue. Beyond Duty met all my requirements and then some. I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Once a powerful Earth Elemental with the gift of making anything grow, Kincade Murphy has lost his power and is about to lose his failing ranch. He enlists help in the form of a fledgling plant biologist, Allyson Hamilton, who takes on the research project at Kindade’s Ranch. She’s out to prove herself but discovers there’s more going on at the ranch than meets the eye. Sparks fly between them in more ways than one at the most inopportune times.
While taking soil samples they uncover a sinister plot to force him off his land and destroy her research. Now he’ll risk it all to protect her.
Set in a small town,this a story about deceit, desire, trust, romance and magic. The characters are compelling, the descriptions vivid which the narrator does a good job of bringing to life. One of my favorite parts was a scene between the dog and horse. (Want to know more, listen to the book) LOL If you like tender romance with a touch of paranormal along with intriguing twists and turns to keep you guessing, you’ll enjoy listening to this book as I did.

As a medium, the prospect of tackling a haunted house is less daunting than seeing Max Baron again. However, the ghost of a young woman desperate for someone to tell her story embroils Claire into a dangerous situation she may not survive. She enlisted Max’s help, but will he be too late? You’ll have to pick up a copy of riveting audiobook to find out.
The narration brings this exciting story and it’s characters to life. I truly enjoyed the setting on Cape Cod. The twist and turns kept me on the edge of my seat until the satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed listening to the Gull Harbor audiobook and highly recommend it.

Branson Cudahy is a cyber-crime investigator from Lexington, Kentucky. For three years he’s chased a hacker and now the trail leads to Lobster Cove, Maine.
Jenna Sanborn waits tables, but she dreams of opening a quilt shop in the heart of town.
A whirlwind romance is the last thing either Branson or Jenna expect. When Branson gets close to catching the hacker, all heck breaks loose. You’re going to have to pickup the audiobook to find out what happens.
This heartwarming story has well-rounded characters, vivid descriptions and a fast pace. All the things I love in a book. I also love the Lobster Cove series!
