Kerry Pickering has a problem. As a publicist for Hollywood bad boy Jericho Knox, it's Kerry's job to keep Jericho in the news. So far, Jericho's partying and public escapades have made it easy. But Jericho has a secret, and when that secret is revealed in the most spectacularly disastrous way, it's up to Kerry to spin it.

4 stars = I REALLY liked this book!

I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen to and review for Wicked Reads.

As an introvert, the idea of living my life in the public eye is terrifying. Having lived with an extrovert who was a local celeb of sorts, I have witnessed firsthand how draining it can be for a person whose life is subject to public consumption, even if it was something they wanted. Despite the understanding I brought with me when I began listening to Marriage of Inconvenience, I still found it hard at times to see Jericho in a sympathetic light. Granted, I easily related to Kerrys introverted personality, his desire to work behind the scenes, and his abject terror when thrown in front of the camera, so each time that Jericho lashed out at Kerry, well, my thoughts toward Jericho were not all that nice.

With that said, my inability to find Jericho to be a sympathetic character much of the time did not keep me from enjoying the novel. Dont get me wrong, because I did feel badly for the guy who was forced to live his life in the closet while he established his career, and I was angered on his behalf when the compromising photo was taken and tweeted no one deserves to have that kind of private moment shared with the world without their consent. I was also sad for him because not knowing who he could trust made him assume everyone had an ulterior motive, and I was sad for the teen who was bullied in high school so badly that it made it nearly impossible for him to trust. But because Kerry was forced to bear the brunt of that baggage more than once, I found myself siding with Kerry, hoping that Jericho would live up to his promise, and, when he didnt, praying hed pull his head out of his arse and do right by Kerry.

Because Marriage of Inconvenience is a Dreamspun Desires novel, it wasnt surprising that there were several very sweet moments mixed in with the angst and drama. The chemistry between Kerry and Jericho is obvious from the very beginning, but when they finally find their way past being roommates and pseudo-enemies and begin to embark upon a real relationship, theyre both rather cute about it, especially Jerichos preference for cuddling. Solo did a very nice job with the narration, making it easy to discern the characters voices and conveying the myriad of emotions the men experience when theyre together.

Publisher's Summary:

Growing up, Jason Stern led a charmed life complete with devoted sisters, a father who was one of Brooklyn's most respected rabbis, and a mother who made the world's best babka. He headed to NYU ready for anything - except falling for the wrong guy, coming out, and getting disowned by his once-loving family. In spite of that, Jason managed to graduate with honors. He's got friends who treat him like family, and he's proudly running the largest LGBTQ teen shelter in Manhattan. Life is good, but he's still falling for the wrong men.

When charming, sexy Quinn Fitzpatrick begins work at the shelter, Jason falls hard and fast. Quinn is tall, blond, funny - damn near perfect. Only if Quinn's gay, even he doesn't seem to know it. If he does, he's not telling anyone. And he's about one ceremony away from becoming a Catholic priest.

Long hours of work turn to long nights of talking and laughter, and Jason dares to hope this time he's falling for the right guy. But Quinn's got a past to deal with and major decisions to make about his future. When Quinn leaves for a silent retreat, Jason knows the silence may change everything.

Members Reviews:

soooo GOOD

Loved this story! Fantastic narration as always. I highly recommend this story. I've not listened to the first 3 stories; however, I didn't feel lost with the characters as sometimes can happen in a series.

Another solid story!!

Would you listen to Moment of Silence again? Why?

I've listened to this twice. Robert Nieman brings sweetness and eroticism to his narration.

Any additional comments?

Moment of Silence is book four in the Moments in Time series by Karen Stivali. And while it can be read as a standalone story, in my opinion, its best to read the series in order, as the main characters within appear in the earlier stories.

The reader and/or listener first meet Jason in book two, Moment of Truth, as the boy who kissed Collin during their summer stay on Fire Island. Nothing comes of it except a friendship between the two and a brief quarrel with Tanner.

Jason is a guy who seems to have it all despite being disowned from his family when he came out. He finished college at NYU all on his own and is now running a LGBTQ teen shelter, New Home, in the city. Hes got great friends, a job he loves; and yet his love life leaves much to be desired. He seems to either fall for the unobtainable or the straight guy.one too many times.

Enter Quinn Fitzpatrick. Quinn is Collins older brother and has been mentioned many times throughout the Moments in Time series. Quinn has spent the last 10 years studying to be a priest. He also has been very vocal in his disapproval of Collins coming out and has taken sides with their mother on the issue. Unbeknownst to his family Quinn has his own personal issues to deal with and has taken a leave of absence from his studies of the priesthood. He now volunteers his time at the very teen shelter where Jason works.

In the first half of the story the listener gets an in depth look into Jasons life. As Moment of Silence is told from Jasons point of view we really get to see all of his fears and desires; his hurt over losing his family. We learn about his childhood and close knit family.

This duo is unstoppable

What made the experience of listening to Guns Blazing the most enjoyable?

These two authors can weave a story full of suspense, steam, and mix in romance like no others. As coauthors they knock it put of the park! Wow!

Awesome book!

This story was amazing. I loved listening to Luke and Lloyd's story. It was so well written. The characters were great, there was just the right amount of suspense, and parts had me laughing out loud. There was the perfect balance of serious and funny.

wow

What was one of the most memorable moments of Guns Blazing?

bathroom scene !!

Have you listened to any of Joel Leslies other performances before? How does this one compare?

this is my first Joel Leslie performance and am hooked

Any additional comments?

this was a great book ! my first by the authors and will be getting all the rest !!! such a great story and the voice ... oh my !!

Wow

The narrator is brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!! The authors did a wonderful job of adding different elements to the story as the characters learn each other and lean out of their norm... would definitely recommend.

I could listen to Joel Leslie read ANYTHING (everything!)

Oh my hotness... I swear every time I listen to Joel Leslie, he gets more sultry. His voice flows, entices you to listen just a few more minutes. He brings Lloyd & Luke to life, bringing out their unique personalities.

This is my favorite Andrea Smith/Eva LeNoir book to date! While slightly annoying in Black Balled, Guns Blazing brings Lloyd to life. We get to see the man behind the submissive. Luke Gunner. Mmmm... how I'd like to keep him! He picks Lloyd up and is determined to never put him back. The chemistry is off the charts and then they added Joel Leslie (yes, I'm fan girling, lol).

I've listened to this twice and will probably go back again.

Publisher's Summary:

Theatrical agent Payton Gowan meets with former classmate - and prospective client - Beckett Huntington, with every intention of brushing him off. Beckett not only made high school a living hell for Payton, but he was also responsible for dashing Payton's dreams of becoming a Broadway star.

Aspiring actor Beckett Huntington arrives in New York City on a wing and a prayer, struggling to land his first gig. He knows scoring Payton Gowan as an agent would be a great way to get his foot in the door, but with their history, getting the chance is going to be a tough sell.

Against Payton's better judgment, he agrees to give Beckett a chance, only to discover - to his amazement - that Beckett actually does have talent.

Payton signs Beckett but can't trust him - until Payton's best friend, Val, is attacked. When Beckett is there for him, Payton begins to see another side to his former bully. Amidst attempts by a jealous agent to sabotage Beckett's career and tear apart their blossoming love, Payton and Beckett must learn to let go of the past if they have any chance at playing out a future together.

Members Reviews:

Well Written and re-told by Tristan James

What did you love best about Between Loathing and Love?

The way Beckett tore down every wall Payton threw up between them.

What did you like best about this story?

Payton's journey as he learns that what he thought he knew was skewed and how he finds love in the last place he thought he would.

What about Tristan Jamess performance did you like?

Every damn thing! Tristan James is a storyteller that embodies the characters in the voices he gives them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This was an intense story with a plethora of emotions. Pay's warped co-worker made me laugh more than once, at him that is. And what happens with Val, Pay's best friend, made me tear up a little. When I read that scene it was emotional, but then to hear Tristan James really encompass Val's emotional state while narrating just drove that situation home for me.

Any additional comments?

Tam's E-book review - October 2015

Payton Gowan is very far removed from the shy, awkward, overweight gay kid that was bullied and picked on in high school. He has a great life, a successful career and lives in the same building with his best friend. And then his childhood tormentor walks into his office looking for representation and throws Payton for a loop. What Payton wants to do is tell Beckett to piss off and show him the door, but Beckett is very talented and at the end of the day, Payton realizes he needs to do his job and leave the past in the past.

Beckett Huntington doesnt remember who Payton is at first. Payton has shortened his name to Pay, hes lost weight and toned his body, gone is the acne, replaced with a very stunning man. Beckett is attracted and intrigued, until Payton reminds him of their shared past. Once Beckett learns that he was wrong about Payton in high school, he sets out to make Payton his. And while the attraction is mutual, Payton has trouble letting go of the past, even if it is threatening to destroy his future.

Enemies to lovers stories can be quite good, if conveyed the right way. Grey painted a pretty vivid image of the interaction between these two when they were in high school, and how things could have been perceived the way they were.

Members Reviews:

Craig Beck is an amazing narrator!

The first thing that NEEDS to be said is that this MUST be listened to.

What a masterpiece!

Craig Beck is easily my favorite British narrator and ties in the top three of all narrators. He is so good with emotions, timing, voice modulation and pacing. There are no technical errors and he even adds in a bit here and there special effects for phone calls, etcetera. I dont know my British accents but I can tell he does and he differentiates the various regions superbly.

Theres a bit in Misfits where Tom calls out Jakes accent and so its magnified and its awesome! Funny and (I think) spot on.

Because this is SO British, listening to it only helps to put the story in perspective. Its a London story with parts elsewhere, but having the accent in your ears makes it all the more real.

On that note, lets talk about the story itself, because REAL is what this story signifies. It is NOT a perfect relationship. Neither Toms with Cass, Toms with Jake, Jakes with Cass, nor Toms, Jakes and Cass together. Its not like any ménage Ive read so far, but it works for them.

Garrett Leigh is a skilled writer of broken men, and Cass and Jake are broken in their own ways. Tom is the glue that helps them stay put together but he needs them just as much as they need him.

I LOVED Jakes Turrets syndrome and all his ticks and sayings. He absolutely made this story! theres a rat in here!

I highly recommend this in audio format its a FABULOUS narration of a great story that I think most anybody would like.

Amazing!

Wonderful, beautiful book!! Couldn't put it down. Truly a story of love and companionship. 5 STARS!

The writing is very compelling as we expect from this author, but the narrator's performance gives the additional push to make a great book, extraordinary.

Beautiful story

Beautiful story of three loveable but very different characters who against the odds make it all work. Well written and read perfectly by the narrator - really brought the characters to life.

Bloody Brilliant story!

The narration was spot on, and I found myself forgetting I was listening to a story. I felt transported into the world of cooking, managing a restaurant, and experiencing Torhettet's Syndrome myself.

Title: Like a Lover

Publisher's Summary:

Josh has a plan: get through uni with a good degree and no debts. Focused on his goals, he's working as an escort to pay his way. He enjoys the no-strings sex and doesn't have the time or inclination for a relationship. Falling in love definitely isnt part of the dealespecially not with a client.

When Rupert meets Josh in a bar, he's smitten on sight. He's never paid for sex before, but when Josh propositions him, he can't resist. He should have known one night would never be enough. Luckily for him, he has an inheritance to support his addiction to Josh, because his job in IT wouldn't cover the cost.

With each appointment the lines get increasingly blurred. Something is developing between them that feels more like a relationship than a business transaction, but they come from different worlds and to go from client-and-escort to lovers seems impossible. If they want a future together, Josh and Rupert have a lot to overcome.

4.5 Stars

Any additional comments?

Let me get this out of the way first, okay? WOW! Josh is a sex worker?! What a FANTASTIC plot twist!

I knew when reading Helping Hand I wanted more of Josh. And boy did Jay deliver for me!

I loved this! I loved how much Josh and Rupert began to feel for each other, I loved the hesitancy in admitting their feelings, I loved how Josh wasn't willing to compromise in the end, I loved all the super, fantastic, hot, hot, hot sex, and mostly? I absolutely loved that despite Josh being paid for sex - this wasn't all dark and angsty.

I thought Marc Steadman lived up to his name...the narration was steady (I didn't notice any overt pausing or tone problems), it had a nice flow, and Steadman offered good character voices.

One of the things really imperative in getting the narration for this story right, in my opinion, is the sex scenes. With Josh being a sex worker, but also really liking, and eventually falling for, Rupert, it was important for the heat to come through in the narration and Steadman definitely brought out the passion they have for each other.

All in all I thought Steadman did really well and I hope he'll continue to carry on with the series.

Recommended!

Good story, great narration

In Helping Hands we met Josh as the roommate of Jez and Mac. Hes known in the house as a player, but in reality, hes a rent boy. So each night out he works hard for the money in order to go to university. His parents are out of the picture and he doesnt want student loans.

Rupert is a shy IT guy who normally has a hard time meeting people. When hes stood up at the same bar as Josh one night, the two strike up a conversation. When Josh makes it clear that hed love to spend more time with Rupert, but itll cost him, something takes over Rupert and he finds some new-born confidence.

Their connection is phenomenal and both parties are left a bit shaken. They quickly make plans to be together again, and again, and again. Though there is always an exchange of money, it begins to feel wrong as their emotions get involved.

Finally, on a long working weekend where Josh poses as Ruperts boyfriend, the lines get so blurry as to be non-existent between client and lover.

**

This book was another wonderful example of Jay Northcotes ability to give us a very sweet romance, no matter the circumstances.

Title: Hide

Author: Matthew Griffin

Narrator: Sean Runnette

Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-12-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

Set in a declining textile town in North Carolina, Hide is the love story of Wendell Wilson, a taxidermist, and Frank Clifton, a veteran of World War II. They meet after the war, in a time when such love holds real danger. But, severing nearly all ties with the rest of the world, they carve out a home for themselves on the outskirts of town and for decades the routine of self-reliant domesticity - Wendell's cooking, Frank's care for a yard no one sees, and the vicarious drama of courtroom TV - seems to protect them. But when Wendell finds Frank lying motionless outside at the age of 83, their carefully crafted life together begins to unravel. As Frank's physical strength deteriorates and his memory dissolves, Wendell struggles in vain to keep him healthy and to hold onto the man he once knew until, faced with giving care beyond his capacity, he must come to terms with the consequences of half a century in seclusion, the sacrifices they made for each other, and the different lives they might have lived - and most especially the impending, inexorable loss of the one they had.

Impossibly tender, gently funny, and gorgeously rendered, Hide is a singularly powerful debut.

Publisher's Summary:

When you find your family, you'll do anything to keep it.

When Charles Macquarrie inherits a fortune and an international clothing company, he also inherits three young cousins he desperately needs help raising. By a stroke of luck, he discovers and hires Jonathan Lamb, who spent his life in a children's home due to chronic illness, to be his nanny.

If Jon thought a budding romance with his wealthy boss complicated his life, he has no idea of the hardships awaiting him when he's charged with embezzlement and kidnapping. But even when threatened by accounting discrepancies and mob connections, Jon and Charles won't let go of the family they've built together without a fight.

Members Reviews:

Good romance

While I would regard someone who even for a day becomes drunk while responsible for children's well being as spoiled pond scum, I liked it otherwise.

Four Stars

I really enjoyed this story

Sweet Romance

This was a sweet slow building romance between the very sexy Charles Macquarrie and sweet but forward Jonathan. Jon is 20 years old and has lived his whole life at the Blood of the Lamb Home for Children orphanage, but was very well loved by all the nuns, especially Sister Grace, who took care of him his whole life through chronic sickness and finally health. Jon was finally convinced by the nuns that it was time to leave and went in search of a job outside of the Home.

Jon builds an immediate and strong relationship with Charlesâs wards Madeline, Holland, and Juliana. Charles who heads up his company Macquarrie International Clothier works hard and long into the night mostly staying away from the children leaving all care taking to Jon. Charles is determined to run the company the way his father had wanted even though his very strict and all business right hand man Albert disapproves. Charles also is determined to not have any emotional attachments to the kids he inherited. But Jon pushes, suggests, and befriends the distant Charles into trying to build a bond with the children. In the middle of that the family is on the run from unsavory people and the ruination of Charlesâs company.

This was a sweet romance with a little heat and flirting between the two main characters, a little action to go along for the ride, and some fun secondary characters who add so much fun and lightness to the story. It is a HEA for all concerned and everything tied up in a nice little bow which fit this story perfectly.

Jonathon was like super nanny

By Connie Bailey (MM/Romance)

A copy of this book was provided to me by Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review.

***3 STARS***

So, in Finding Family, we have orphan Jonathon Lamb, who is accepted to be the nanny for rich businessman Charles Macquarrie's 3 young cousins. Jonathon was like super nanny, the kids loved him and he could do no wrong. Somehow though, it was hard to connect with him. I liked when he showed quirks like talking to himself, but other than that, I didn't really get sense of his true self.

Charles was...Charles. I didn't connect with him either. The romance between them was sort of...not there. I felt no chemistry even if it was told to us that they were falling for each other. They didn't even really get together until passed the 75% mark on me ereader. It just dragged. The kids were kids.

Publisher's Summary:

After her narrow brush with death in Holy Hell, you'd think Lillian Byrd would have learned to keep her head down, but when a friend in crisis calls from California, Lillian jumps on a plane and wings her way from Detroit to Palm Springs - and danger.

Great

I loved this book perhaps even more than the first book. What a wild ride!

Still lovin' it

I'm glad Audible brought this to life by recording the whole series. Dina Pearlman was an excellent choice for narrating these books, no one could have done better. Elizabeth Sims has a way of dreaming up excellent adventures for Lillian Byrd.

quirky little book

I liked this 2nd offering almost as much as I did the first one. I love Todd the rabbit! It is a refreshing mix to the lesbian genre.

Disappointed

I listened to the first two in this series, to give it a chance, but I won't be getting more. The plots both involve the narrator getting interested in/involved with someone and then that person being menaced. In both, the narrator behaves recklessly, and the lovers' dialog is laughably bad.

Some minor characters were well drawn, but I just didn't believe or like the narrator very much.

Enjoyable story, awful audio

If you could sum up Unexpected in three words, what would they be?

sweet, YA, readable

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It wasn't the narrator himself, but the audio quality was awful. Very echo-y and I swear at one point I heard a flock of birds in the background?

quality of recording is distracting but, sweet

Try the audio sample to listen to the story to make sure the low quality of sound is something you can overcome. This story is a sweet story of acceptance and romance.
