Narrated by: Natalie Beran 5 Stars Brilliant story! James Lingard tells a brilliant story in The Girl Who Disappeared. I have read and listened to work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I did read the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. It's a historical romance, but I found it was so much more than that. Emily gets married, and it's not the ideal person her family had in mind for her. Then, war hits, and everything goes chaotic. I

Liz Crowe - What Happens in Chicago

Genre: Romcom/Contemporary Romance/erotica 4 Stars Great Read What a great romantic story in What Happens in Chicago by Liz Crowe. I read Whatever Happens in Denver and enjoyed it, and I liked this one as well. In Chicago, the reader mets Sloane and Michael, and they just figure that their encounter is a hot, spur of the moment, one night hookup in Chicago. But as most romance stories go, there are complications, such as family responsibilities, and the thoughts of each other

Deven Greene- Unforeseen

Genre: Medical Thriller 5 Stars Magnificent! Another great Erica Rosen MD book! This is the third and final book in the series, at least that's what the word "Trilogy" means, but who knows, maybe the author will change the trilogy into a series, so we can enjoy Erica more. Deven Greene writes Unforeseen, and it is a magnetic story, and another great mystery into the life of Dr. Rosen.

Fun, food and romance, but things are not always what you believe, especially if you make the wrong first impression. The reader is introduced to Serenity, who has a great supper club, sharing friendships, and food. Then, she meets Gabriel, who insults her food. Sometimes, people just have a knack for saying the wrong thing at the "perfect" time. I am a defin

Genre: Paranormal Fantasy 4 Stars A great sequel with action and survival! What a grand title in Liza Fury: Catch 22 by TC Marti. Liza Fury is a very interesting character, and comes to life in the second book of the Terrian Chronicles. The story picks up where the first one, Tarja Titan left off. I went back and read the first one, and then read this one again. They can be read as standalone, but I believe if the series is good, all the books should be read, standalone or no

Mikel Wilson Jr.- A Fallen Kingdom

Genre: Fantasy/Vampiric 3 Stars Good story A Fallen Kingdom by Mikel Wilson Jr. is a good fantasy story. It also has a bit of supernatural in it, as a knight meets a vampire, and sparks fly. There are a lot of ups and downs, especially on both sides, when their connection to each other is practically forbidden. As his castle crumbles, so does the kingdom. I've read work by Wilson before, and I enjoyed it. This is an interesting tale, and it comes down to love or loyalty. This
