Publisher's Summary:

Ryan Trexler has devoted his entire life to his family's security business. And now that he's slated to take over the reins of the company, RT knows his life is only going to get more complicated. Add in the fact that he's lusting over one of the men who works for him, and RT realizes that there are some seriously tough times ahead.

Zachariah Tavoularis - nicknamed Z - has been employed by Sniper 1 Security for a decade. Despite being known as the most loyal enforcer outside of family, Z also has a reputation for being quite the playboy, though that was based more on rumor than fact. When an assignment comes up that forces the two of them to work together, Z knows it's time to show RT he's not the man everyone thinks he is.

Can they complete the mission despite the fact that it puts them in a tenuous situation, bringing them closer than either of them ever expected? And will Z allow RT to convince him that they can never be together, no matter how much they both want it?

Members Reviews:

Why 3 narrators? Very confusing.

The story was enjoyable enough though I would have liked more plot/action or suspense. While the 3 narrators were good, I did not see the necessity for the third guy since this isn't a menage and the 3 narrators weren't all that distinctive. They are also not narrators I'm familiar with so I had a hard time telling who was speaking and who was doing the narrative portions.

A waste of audio production money, IMO. Two narrators would have been great, if their voices sounded different.

It surprised me...it really did...

Any additional comments?

Didn't listen to the first one, Nicole, but I am considering it. I am guessing I don't have to to have enjoyed this one as much as I did. Dear Listener, I liked it...the 5 stars are for the fact that I'm a sucker for alpha gay men love stories. And thank God they were openly gay from the start. As I have shared in other reviews, it gets old listening to this back and forth with trying to figure out if they should, or shouldn't, could or couldn't..this, admittedly, had the same element, which frustrated me at times, but I am just more patient with openly gay males I suppose...although I revel in joy when straight men come into the light of gay love...I'm blathering...take the time to listen...I liked it.

RT and Z are awesome!

RT and Z were great! Lots of action and an almost never ending supply of hot guys! This is a definite turn from Nicole's previous series' and I love it!

love it

No matter how many times in listen. i love this book. cant wait for the next one.

A great read

I loved the book. Could not put it down. The narrator's we're great. Great story line loved the cast of characters.

Publisher's Summary:

Adam Macias has been thrown a few curve balls in his life, but losing his VA grant because his car broke down and missing a class was the one that struck him out. One relative away from homelessness, he has taking the bus to Sacramento, where his cousin has offered a house-sitting job and a new start. He has one goal, and that's to get his life back on track. Friends, pets, lovers need not apply.

Finn Stewart takes one look at Adam as he's applying to Candy Heaven and decides he's much too fascinating to leave alone. Finn is bright and shiny - and has never been hurt. Adam is wary of his attention from the very beginning - Finn is dangerous to every sort of peace Adam is forging, and Adam may just be too damaged to let him in at all.

But Finn is tenacious, and Adam's new boss, Darrin, doesn't take bullshit for an answer. Adam is going to have to ask himself which is harder - letting Finn in or living without him? With the holidays approaching, it seems like an easy question, but Adam knows from experience that life is seldom simple. And the world seldom cooperates with hope, faith, or the plans of cats and men.

Members Reviews:

Great pairing of Alces and Lane - sweet!

Adam is having a rough life. His mother and grandmother treated him like pond scum growing up, so he joined the military to prove he was worthy. He fell in love with one of his fellow soldiers, only to be left high and dry when his lover didnt want to come out of the closet. He returned to the states to go back to school, but lost his grant when his car died and he could no longer attend classes. With his last gasp, he heads up to his cousins apartment for 6 months of free rent to try to get his life in order.

With what feels like divine intervention, Adam stumbles into Candy Heaven following the Help Wanted sign and is immediately set to work. His boss also plays the role of his fairy godfather and matchmaker by hooking him up with Finn, the sandwich delivery guy.

Finn is young, idealistic, freshly single, and unstoppable. He sees the darkness in Adam and knows he can bring in the light. By pairing his cheery disposition with offerings of free food, he slowly breaks through the walls surrounding Adams heart.

Adam, who fully believes he isnt worthy of someone like Finn, does what he can to stave off the romance, but when he really needs help, Finn is there and its Finn who helps him see that he does have value and most importantly hope.

**

This is one of Amys relatively low angst stories. Of course she will make you cry (for me it was at least twice) but most of the story is full of awwww. I was reminded of her story Christmas Kitsch in that Oliver little Oliver was the force of nature blowing in and taking charge. In The Candy Man thats Finn. He wont take no for an answer and hes fearless.

I also really enjoyed the secondary characters and I really hope Joni gets her girl one day and that we get to read more about Ricos romance. (Fingers crossed!). The vaguely paranormal part of the story left me with a new respect for Pixie Stix, as well!

Amy can describe a scene so thoroughly that I could picture Adams drawings, Finns hair, Gonzos fight against the medicine - everything.

Publisher's Summary:

This is a gay male romance with explicit sexual situations between men.

When he was 16 years old, Rich Miller saved a young man from drowning at his local pool. Little did he know that years later, as a senior in college and Olympic diving hopeful, Rich would meet up once again with Johnny Milloway, now a big football player - and when Rich says big, he really means "bear". The shy jock remembers his saviour, and the two men become friends.

Johnny isn't put off by the fact that Rich is gay. In fact, the more time he spends with Rich, the more curious he becomes. Johnny wants to know all kinds of things - what it's like to kiss a guy, for instance. Only it doesn't stop there...

Rich finds it difficult to believe that this relationship can go anywhere. Johnny is straight, and Rich isn't prepared to deal with the heartache he knows will come his way in the future. He has enough on his plate as it is - the worlds are just around the corner. His father would rather watch a football game than spend time watching his son dive. What he doesn't count on is Johnny, who can be very determined. And having Johnny in his life proves to be a catalyst for some pretty earth-shattering changes.

Members Reviews:

Gay for you story with a raunchy edge.

What did you love best about My Hero?

The slightly raunchy edge Vos gave the story that sets it apart from other GFY type stories.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the two characters were with each other for the most part.

Which character as performed by Jared Bradford was your favorite?

Johnny's mom, that woman was a spitfire! And his cousin Anita, I want to be her best friend.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was and I came close. I couldn't put it down or focus on anything else, this book had all my attention.

Any additional comments?

When Rich Miller, the dorky, openly gay, Olympic hopeful diver is befriended by Johnny Milloway, star football player slash super jock Rich is a bit dumbfounded. Until Rich learns that the big, burly football player is the same lanky teenager Rich saved at the local pool when they were teenagers. Johnny is overly protective of Rich from the start, and Rich doesnt quite know how to act around him. The two become fast friends, taking trips home together and working out in the mornings at school. One kiss changes everything.

Johnny is confused and curious all at once. He doesnt understand his bodys reaction to Rich, but he wants to explore it. Rich is conscious enough to realize this is an ill-advised adventure; but he is already falling hard for the big, burly, hairy, super sweet jock. The two make a pact; they will explore the mutual attraction only if they remain friends regardless of the outcome. When one heart is certain while the other is clouded in a haze of confusion, someone is bound to get hurt.

I procured a copy of this audio for a review not really sure I would enjoy it in the end. Let me tell you, I was lured in after the intro and Bradfords retelling of Voss words kept me engaged throughout. I am a huge fan of gay for you stories and I really enjoyed how Vos gave this particular story his own rusty edge. Rich is older, more established, and confident and smart. While Johnny may be younger and oddly, a bit naïve, he is massive and intimidating. His team mates gave him the nickname The Dragon and I can assure you, it fits.

Publisher's Summary:

Boone Walton has tried hard to create some distance between himself and his past. He's invested in his new life, his New Orleans art gallery, and his friendship with Scott Wren. Things finally seem to be settling down to normal, and Boone couldn't be happier.

Chef Scott Wren wants much more than normal with Boone. He wants to raise things to the next level, but Boone is terrified - and not because of the ghost in Scott's apartment or Scott's relatives. No, Boone's past is about to pay him a visit, and the only thing that can get between Boone, Scott, and a hinky recipe for chocolate mousse found in a curious cookbook is the river of pain Boone had to swim across to get to this side of The Big Easy. There's a secret behind the ingredients, though - one that might reveal the trust and love that have been missing from Boone's life.

Members Reviews:

A great short story

Any additional comments?

This is a great short story with a lot packed into it. Greg Tremblays incredible narration is just the whipped cream on this fabulous confection.

I enjoyed (and there was maybe a tear or two for) Boones back story in Japan, which made me see why he had been reticent to pursue a relationship with Scott.

I also loved the way it was left open for his pseudo little brother, Satoru, to maybe have his own story. *hint, hint*

As an aside, only Mary Calmes could have two men who have been sleeping around with multiple different partners for years throw away the condom for their first time and say theyre doing it bare without getting tested or already having test results and not have me lose my mind. Well, only Mary Calmes and Cardeno C.

Also, for those of us nerds: I love Easter eggs in movies or when a book references another character or seriesand we get that here!

I absolutely LOVE Boone got some of his ink at Hizoku Ink, Ichis Shop from Rhys Fords novels, which ties in perfectly to the shout out Rhys gave Mary Calmes at the end of Dirty Deeds. AnywayIm a nerd and its awesome.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Is There a Sequel in the Offing Here?

Any additional comments?

Tails of the Curious Cookbook is the series name for an anthology of five short stories by five great writers. The writers, R.J. Scott, Amy Lane, Marie Sexton, Amber Kell, and Mary Calmes have written vastly different M/M romance stories with the unifying theme of a curious cookbook entitled Recipes for the Heart subtitled Mystical Meals and Dangerous Desserts hand written by the anonymous Granny B. The stories come in either a Kindle e-book or audible format. The cookbook is depicted as very old, tattered, faded, leather bound, and rich with notations from its users adding clarifying notations and reactions to the varies magical recipes. The recipes when prepared and served is intended to aid in sorting out some confusing romance aspect of the stories or make one feel better after a broken heart. These books will appeal to those with a romantic soul and believe in the magic of comfort food served with a side of the power of suggestion of magic.

I have written five separate reviews for each of the five stories. Please refer to the list below when looking up the appropriate review:

Publisher's Summary:

Hawk Magnar, commander of twelve sentry wolves, never thought he'd discover his mate in a hospital for an anxiety attack. Under the illusion he was going to comfort a young child the alpha's mate, Cecil, had befriended, he finds a man who needs more protection than even anyone realizes. Treated as a simpleton all his life, Johnny Stone has never had anything to call his own - until he meets Hawk. Hawk must keep his emaciated mate safe from a sadistic brother while teaching Johnny to trust him. Hawk is quickly running out of time to convince Johnny that he isn't out to hurt him when his mate inadvertently starts the mating ritual. Will Johnny give Hawk the trust he needs to bind them together or suffer the consequences that fate's wicked sense of humor has unleashed?

Members Reviews:

like a fantastic, sexy,soap opera, comic book!

This is perfect little cheesy story of true mates, happiness, sorrow, tears and cheers with lots of fun and funny stuff. If you listen to the excellent narrator and freeze frame a part of the story like buying the pink coat and wallets, little guy beating the big alpha werewolves at the games they play on his first try or even the six foot four 260 pound alpha mate crying and laughing over his "baby's" trip to o a happily ever after love bonded life and turn that scene into a comic book cartoon in your mind, you can get a lot of fun out of this mostly cheery and yet very sexy romp of a soap opera. It's a rags to riches story and the triumph of good over evil.

It does have a few sentences at the end that can lead you to the next book in the series but this story can easily be read as a standalone with great satisfaction.

ANOTHER GOOD READING

Any additional comments?

Johnny East is just a really good pick for this series. He changed the way I looked at this story when I first read it. He brings more depth to the book an characters.

For fans of the series a must

First, again I ask you to ignore the cover. Its kinda skeevy but the story is really very sweet.

Second, I will warn you that parts of this especially in audiobook format are kind of disconcerting but if you stick with it it gets less awkward? and is really kinda heart-warming.

We met Johnny earlier, hes the special kid at the center Cecil volunteers at who is good friends with Cecil. He calls himself mildly retarded (funny how that word just sounds so terrible in these times of PC language isnt it?) and is definitely on the slower end of the learning curve. (Without it being a spoiler, Ill tell you that Hawk kind of surmises that its not so much retardation as that Johnny just needs things explained very carefully and that he needs a lot of patience because hes prone to panic attacks. I suspect its more autistic than anything else.)

In any case, Johnnys brother is abusing Johnny and Hawk and his pack mates rescue him. Johnny has been starved so it takes a lot of intense work to build him back up so that hes even strong enough to be bonded with Hawk and this ends up being one of the hurdles.

The brother also ends up being a thorn in the side of the pack and ends up causing a crisis.

Hawk is sappily devoted to Johnny and the rest of the pack soon falls under his thumb as well.

At one point Hawk refers to himself as daddy but is acknowledging to even himself that its a little weird.

Title: A Date with Angel: And Other Things That Weren't Supposed to Happen

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 115 votes

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

Kim could tell at a glance Angel wasn't the average attractive yet poorly disguised extraterrestrial scout sent to assess Earth's defenses before the inevitable alien invasion. Angel's memory loss cover story? Lame. Robbing a passing ruffian of his shirt to cover her naked body? NOT a good way to avoid attracting attention! As a science fiction geek, Kim felt herself uniquely qualified to watch Angel and thwart her dark mission...once the alien got around to it.

But Angel had her own questions. She couldn't help but wonder, why would Kim invite a stranger home? Surely, it could only be for romance! Kim didn't dare correct her, not without giving herself away, and so both found themselves in an escalating romantic relationship neither actually wanted.

Is it possible lies and deception could lead to true love? Could projected feelings designed to fool the other become genuine?

A Date with Angel is a romantic escalation comedy full of misinterpretations, grand theories, and devious, romantic traps...and a suspected alien woman doing her best to meet a sci-fi paranoiac's expectations.

Members Reviews:

An absolutely different sci fi lesbian story.

I loved listening to this book. found my self laughing and loved the fact that Kim is a gamer and inverted basically. and at first I didn't like angels voice... but it grew on me. so I recommend this book you'll like it trust me.

Awesome Premise. Great Humor. Little Else.

Not your typical lesbian romance. Very funny, underhandedly sweet, good chemistry. Once the premise is set, though, the story stays there for 14 hours before a quick wrapup and a hint at a sequel. The main character's headspace, which we never leave, is like Woody Allen with Asperger's and an extreme case of paranoia. It's funny, but Jesus does it wear you down after a while.

Despite this, I will happily buy the sequel, as well as anything else this author puts out. The narrator was wonderful, though her choice of voice for Angel, a blonde, blue-eyed, sex kitten, was too manly, I thought. She handles the humor delightfully, regardless,and is perfect as Kim.

Funny and unexpectedly sweet!

Any additional comments?

This is billed as a romantic comedy, and I must say it delivers. Kim is a paranoid introvert, zealous in her goal to keep her private life private, and making sure she allows no one close to her. As the book opens, Kim encounters a naked woman in a convenience store parking lot. The woman is putting on a shirt she obviously took from the unconscious man lying on the ground. The two women look at each other, and finally Kim engages her in conversation. That conversation leads to all the events that occur in the book. Because that conversation is weird. And it rings all sorts of alarm bells in Kim's mind. This woman is an alien scout! And Kim might be the only thing standing between Earth and an alien invasion. Which, let's face it, is ridiculous.

The comedy is that this gamer girl geek believes Angel, as she declares her name to be, is an alien. There are several things that back this theory up, from the obvious lies Angel tells about herself - her cover story, to things that Angel does that just don't add up to normal. Kim's struggles to maintain her own cover lead her to accept and agree to things with Angel that she had no intention of doing.

Publisher's Summary:

A premier lion shifter, Hugh Landry dedicates his life to leading the Berk pride with strength and confidence. Hundreds of people depend on Hugh for safety, success, and happiness. And at over a century old, with more power than can be contained in one body, Hugh relies on a Siphon lion shifter to carry his excess force.

When the Siphon endangers himself and therefore the pride, Hugh must pay attention to the man who has been his silent shadow for a decade. What he learns surprises him, but what he feels astounds him even more.

Two lions, each born to serve, rely on one another to survive. After years by each other's side, they'll finally realize the depth of their potential, the joy in their passion, and a connection their kind has never known.

Members Reviews:

awesome telling of an awesome story.

Any additional comments?

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.

This book had several things going for it before I started.

1. Cardeno C writes (enough said!)

2. Lion shifters (I love different shifters!)

3. Its different (anything different is good in my book!)

4. Its on the longer side (224 pages)

5. The audio version is narrated by Greg Tremblay.

and it did not disappoint!

Hugh is a Premier Lion in a large pride. He needs a Siphon to, quite literally, siphon off his power so his head doesn't explode. Said Siphon is not happy and attempts to end his life. When Hugh realises something is terribly worng with the Siphon, lions are sent to the Siphon's room and cut him down, just in time.

What follows is a journey of intense self discovery for Hugh, of discovering who this person really is who has been his shadow for ten years. The Siphon didn't even have a name before Hugh gave him Johnnie.

Johnnie's upbringing had been secluded but he learned as he went along, as and when he could. His life up to that point where he really had had enough, consisted of following the Premier around, being close to him, wherever he went, whatever he did. And Johnnie really decided that enough was enough.

Hugh and Johnnie's journey is beautifully written, in a way only CC can. It has drama, action, love and passion. It has new way for thinking for Hugh and Johnnie, a new concept for their pride, for shifters in general. Falling in love. There is no mating, no mate bond as such, it really is as simple as Hugh and Johnnie falling in love with each other.

Its also on the longer side. Now, had I been feeling 100%, it wouldn't have taken me 3 hours to finish and I would have finished it in one sitting, but feeling under the weather meant I really had to sleep.

**AUDIO REVIEW**

Greg Tremblay narrates. And he does a stunning job! I have listened to Mr Tremblay's work before, but its limited to a single series, Cole McGinnis, by Rhys Ford. THAT series is told in the first person, and I was worried I'd get Cole coming through. I need not have worried at all. This book is in the third person, and Johnnie and Hugh sound just like I thought they would. I've found, if I know I might get to LISTEN as well as READ a book, I focus much more on the voices, that characters have in my head. Greg pulled both Hugh and Johnnie off perfectly, and they sounded just as I thought they would. His story telling voice is clear and even, and every amount of emotion came over in all the right places. Johnnie, with his total and utter shutdown before his attempt to end his life.

Publisher's Summary:

Hutch Crowley is well-liked in the small resort town of Mangrove - he's got friends in his new neighbors, he's the owner of the town grocery, and he's building a community center - but he's still unlucky at love. Every man he's attracted to is either taken or simply not interested, including his best friend, Mike Rojas.

When Mike came to Mangrove two years ago, Hutch gave him a job and a place to stay in his guesthouse, where Mike has remained ever since. Despite the rumors circulating about them, Hutch knows Mike is straight and looking for the right woman. But his friends disagree, and after some hints to the contrary, even Hutch finally has to admit that maybe the rest of the town sees something he's been missing. If Hutch wants to spend each sultry sunset with the man of his dreams, it might be time to figure out what's going on with his best friend's heart.

Members Reviews:

Greg Tremblay is fantastic!!

Any additional comments?

I feel like this was more a set up for future novellas than it was a fully realized novella itself. Hutch and Mike don't even realize they're supposed to be together until more than three quarters through, which I wouldn't mind except the sexy times lacked the heat M.C. usually brings to the party.

Still, I didn't dislike it and will continue with the series, mostly because it's Mary Calmes.

Greg Tremblay, once again of course, delivers a fantastic performance, so it's worth getting just for that.

Sultry indeed!

What did you love best about Sultry Sunset?

Greg Tremblay's narration

What did you like best about this story?

Getting little tidbits with characters I love in the series and finding new favorites.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think the chase between Hutch and the good doctor after the cranky town council bitch got Hutch riled up was hysterical!

Who was the most memorable character of Sultry Sunset and why?

Hutch, he was so unknowingly sexy and sometimes infuriating.

Any additional comments?

The men of Mangrove continue to grow and pair up. Fans of this series of short stories will remember Hutch Crowley, the owner of the town grocery, from the last story and that ill-fated date. In Sultry Sunset, Hutch is still single and still in love with his best friend, but damned if hell tell Mike because hes convinced Mike is straight. While Hutch works on the community center and has run-ins with cranky old bags and confused doctors, Mike is busy bedding every available woman in town in an attempt to convince himself he is not, in fact, in love with his best friend.

The thing is, anyone other than these two with two working eyes can see the way they are with each other. Subtle touches and smiles, the fact that they eat dinner together every night, and then when Hutch lands in jail, Mike is quick to come bail him out. And with that release comes a release of an entirely different nature.

I absolutely love this little series of serials set in Mangrove, a quaint little beach town full of lovely gay men in search of that someone special. The community is a family of sorts with crazy old Betties, squabbling siblings and nosey neighbors to add a ton of humor to the stories. Greg Tremblay continues to carry the torch as narrator and let me tell you, hes amazing.

Title: Nowhere Ranch

Author: Heidi Cullinan

Narrator: Iggy Toma

Release date: 06-23-15

Publisher: Heidi Cullinan

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 319 votes

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

Love will grow through the cracks you leave open.

Ranch hand Roe Davis absolutely never mixes business with pleasure - until he runs into his boss, Travis Loving, at the only gay bar within 200 miles.

Getting involved with the ranch owner is a bad idea, but Roe's and Travis's bedroom kinks line up against one another like a pair of custom-cut rails. As long as they're both clear this is sex on the side, no relationship, no interfering with the job, they could make it work.

Shut out by his family years ago, Roe survived by steadfastly refusing to settle into so much as a post office box. As his affair with Travis grows into more than just sex, Roe's past catches up with him, threatening the thin ray of happiness he's found, reminding him it's well past time he went on his way.

Even a loner gets lonely, and at this point, there's nowhere left to run. The shame and sorrow of what he's lost will stay with Roe wherever he goes - until he's ready to let love lead him home.

Members Reviews:

Don't listen to this one in Public. Whew.

What made the experience of listening to Nowhere Ranch the most enjoyable?

Iggy Toma. He is a fantastic, very professional-sounding, talented narrator.

If you could rename Nowhere Ranch, what would you call it?

I think the title is perfect, to be honest, and wouldn't change it.

Any additional comments?

I bought the ebook version of Nowhere Ranch a while ago but it was languishing in my TBR queue because while I loved Heidi Cullinans Love Lessons series and bought all her other books after finishing it, I quickly found out after reading a few of her backlist titles that her older stories veered more toward the BDSM spectrum which I generally dont go for in Romance. Nowhere Ranch definitely falls in the BDSM category, though it does have well-drawn characters unlike the empty, cardboard ones that proliferate in most of these types of stories.

I liked Roe, which is a good thing because the story is told entirely from his POV, in first person. My main problem with BDSM stories is that I have a hard time wrapping my head around how someone would get off on being humiliated by someone they love, or humiliating the person they love, but thats a personal hangup. There are long, detailed explicit scenes in this story, especially in the beginning and the middle, and they are seriously K-I-N-K-Y, definitely not hearts-and-flowers (and thankfully not marinated in purple prose) which gives way to what Ive come to expect from Heidis works. Solid characters, family drama, good supporting characters, and while not on the same level as Love Lessons (since this is after all, a completely different kind of story), a decent romance between Roe and Travis which was still believable regardless of how their relationship started as a purely sexual one.

Now, the narration. At this point I have to say I love Iggy Toma and I bought the audio version mainly because of him. Usually I tend to read the ebook version of a story first so when I listen to the audio and get distracted, I dont get lost. But with really good narrators (like Iggy), my attention is focused on the story. He has such a pleasant reading voice and enunciates each word really, really, well. Even when Im doing other things while listening to him, its still easy to follow whats happening in the story. There are no distracting sounds, like breathing or swallowing, or background noise when I'm listening to him.

Publisher's Summary:

Cursed by the god who shares his name, Seti was an Egyptian king who lost everything: his name, his kingdom, even the man he loved more than anything in the world. For centuries he's waited in a dusty, forgotten sarcophagus, until Logan came along.

Logan is a graduate student who stumbles upon Seti in the basement of a museum and accidentally awakens him. Logan figures any way he looks at it, a missing mummy is going to be bad for his career, so he takes Seti with him until he can decide what to do. He doesn't want to be accused to theft, but who's going to believe in a mummy coming back to life?

Seti and Logan have a lot more to worry about than the modern day police. There's a group of scientists that want Seti for more than decoration and a vengeful god with an agenda to get Seti gone once and for all. Logan has to deal with all of that, but his biggest problem might just be Seti himself, who's trying hard to get into Logan's pants and his heart.

A little off the wall...but darn sexy.

Imagine "A Night at the Museum" but way hotter. A museum apprentice accidentally awakens a 5,000 cursed mummified warrior king, who happens to be gay and look like an Armani model. It sounds wacky, and at times (when the Egyptian gods come into play) it might get too far fetched.... but this is a really fun story with great characters and some seriously sexy scenes. The narrator does a nice job navigating the various tones of the book... bringing out the humor in the supporting cast, giving the right tone to the m/m action and also navigating the challenging scenes with the Gods. I really enjoyed it and I think it would actually make a great beginning for a series. Logan and Seti have great chemistry and they make a super sexy spin on the odd-couple idea. I thought Logan was a wonderful character - and I also thought it was pretty cool that the characters were vers.

Entertaining!

What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Im always looking for great narrators, he is very good.

Any additional comments?

give it a try, is a great entertaining audible ( and the voice does not grain on the ears)

One hot mummy.

Would you consider the audio edition of Seti's Heart to be better than the print version?

I think so... I loved the narration. Logan's friends are all very fun and lively - you got a real sense of personality. The narrator also does a great job with the villains and he brings out a lot of humor in the main characters... He embraces the somewhat goofy aspects of this mythological adventure and brings out the playfulness. It's a great listen.

What did you like best about this story?

I actually though the sexual dynamic between Logan and Seti was really great.... I loved that it changed and it really charted character development. I think that is something that isn't explored a lot in m/m romance... and I enjoyed it. I think the book has some great steamy material, but the humor in the book and the character of Logan were my favorite.

What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He has a really vibrant theatrical approach to narration...
