Audiobook Review: Spin by Lamar Giles

Spin by Lamar Giles

Narrated by Bahni Turpin, Shawana Carter and Sisi Aisha Johnson

10 hours 50 minutes

When rising star Paris Secord (aka DJ ParSec) is found dead on her turntables, it sends the local music scene reeling. No one is feeling that grief more than her shunned pre-fame best friend, Kya, and ParSec's chief groupie, Fuse - two sworn enemies who happened to be the ones who discovered her body.
The police have few leads, and when the trail quickly turns cold, the authorities don't seem to be pushing too hard to investigate further. Only no one counted on Paris's deeply loyal fans, ParSec Nation, or the outrage that would drive Fuse and Kya to work together. As ParSec Nation takes to social media and the streets in their crusade for justice, Fuse and Kya start digging into Paris's past, stumbling across a deadly secret. With new info comes new motives. New suspects. And a fandom that will stop at nothing in their obsessive quest for answers, not even murder....

I saw this book posted on Twitter and just from the synopsis, I was excited to read it. I was really into music as a teen and this is the book my young heart would have loved. The story is told from three point of views. Kya who is the longtime friend of Paris and is narrated by Sisi Aisha Johnson. Fuse is the new friend and social media manager for DJ ParSec and is narrated by Shawana Carter. Both POVS are set in the present while Paris who is narrated by Bahni Turpin is set in the past starting at the rise of DJ ParSec up until the time of her death. Kya and Fuse are not friends but are thrown together by circumstances and are forced to work together to find out what happened to Paris.

I really liked Kya and Fuse. They were both good friends to Paris but outside situations caused a rift. Working together to solve this crime and their shared grief built a friendship between the two despite past issues.

Giles weaved this tale of mystery in the death of a young black girl and how the world reacts to that. Add in the use of social media and how it can help artists rise, create a toxic fan base and be used to hurt others. That was one of the most realistic elements in the book for me and I kind of couldn't relate as an adult but I think younger readers would really identify with those aspects.

I gotta talk about the narration. I really love listening to black narrators and black stories. The characters are people who look like me and people I know and they sound like people I know. As always Bahni Turpin was amazing in her narration. Sisi Aisha Johnson was new to me and did and great job with the narration. Shawana Carter another new narrator to me was good but I had issues. I would love to listen to her again but she had a lot of awkward pauses in her narration that seemed like she was reading directly from the work and was a bit unfamiliar with stops and starts in the reading. If she worked on that she could become an amazing narrator because she has a great voice. I would still definitely recommend the audiobook in place of reading.

Overall I really loved this book. This was my first introduction to Lamar Giles and I plan on looking into his back list and look forward to reading new work by him. 5 stars

Audio Tour and Review: Thirty Day Boyfriend by Whitney G

Thirty Day Boyfriend

by Whitney G.  

Publication Date: November 2, 2017  

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance 

Narrated by: Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber

Length: 2 hours and 40 minutes

Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iBooks | Audible | iTunes

I should've never agreed to this arrangement... Thirty days ago, my boss--Mr. Wolf of Wall Street, came to me with an offer I couldn't refuse: Sign my name on the dotted line and pretend to be his fiancée for one month. If I agreed, he would let me out of my employment contract with a "very generous" severance package. The rules were pretty simple: No intimate kissing, no actual sex. Just pretend to love each other for the press, even though I've secretly wanted to knock that sexy smirk off his face since the first day we met. I definitely didn't need to think twice about this. I signed my name and started counting down the seconds to when I would never have to deal with his special brand of ass-holery again. I only made it to one minute... We argued the entire four-hour flight to his hometown, failed to make a convincing impression with the welcoming press, and right when I was about to knock that arrogant look off his face in real life? He purposely dropped his bath towel in front of me, distracting me with his nine-inch cock to "show me who the bigger person was" in our relationship. Then he gave me his trademark smirk once again and asked if I wanted to consummate our marriage. Tragically, this is only day one. We still have 29 more days to go...

                                              Review

 This was a short but sweet listen. I must say at the beginning I really didn't care for Nick but he really grew on me with how he cared for Emily. I loved Emily. She was strong and independent. She could objectively see that Nick was attractive but she didn't want to mix her work and personal lives. Not to mention she as totally oblivious to how he really felt about her. I really loved the scene where Nick recalled when he knew he was in love with Emily and when Emily stood up for Nick. And I loved the ending when she finally opened her presents. That was sweet and unexpected. I kind of wish this was a bit longer because I really liked this couple together. 4 Stars for the story.

Narration

You can never go wrong with Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber narrating a book. I really liked this combo for the narration. I felt they worked well for the characters in this story. Nothing more I can say because you know these two give quality narration. 5 stars

  I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Lacy Laurel. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 

Fake Fiancé is one of my favorite tropes so I was excited to listen to this one. Lucy inadvertently gets roped into being the fiancé to former mobster Asher Black after she calls the police on him. I’m not a big fan of mob/mafia books but this one was a lot different than I expected. I really liked Lucy. She was a former foster kid but well-traveled and super smart. I think what I loved most about her is that she wasn’t naïve to the world. She was attracted to Asher but she knew about his mob ties. She didn’t let his attractiveness distract her from the fact that he could have her killed if he wanted to. I liked Asher too. I get the super smart guy thing but the mob ties and titan of business thing at 25 was a little too farfetched for me. Some parts of this story really had me side eying this story. That being said it didn’t keep me from enjoying it. I really liked Lucy and Asher together. This book was very slow burn. Lucy and Asher really got to know each other before they took it to the next level.One thing I did not expect from this book was for it to be so funny. I would have to classify this at least a little as romantic comedy because there were so many parts that had me laughing.

Narration

This book was narrated by Lacy Laurel. I have listened to books from her before and I must really say the more she narrates the better she gets. In previous books I listened to narrated by her, I felt she narrated a little too fast but her pacing was really good in this one. I still don’t love her male voices but it’s not enough of an issue to keep me from listening to a book narrated by her. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I would definitely be looking for more from these two.

EXCERPT
“GOD, I WANT you, Danny,” Simone whispers into my ear. She licks just below it before sliding down over my jaw and biting me.
My hold tightens around her hips, steadying her. I should have seen the bite coming. They all do it, assuming they have to do something extreme to be sexy, to get my attention. Like every other time it happens, I pull back and run my fingers into her hair at the nape of her neck, then tighten my grip.
She gasps and digs her nails into my shoulders while the innocence she’s trying to portray in her eyes fails under the skepticism found in mine. Our bodies are pressed together and heated, the fan not strong enough to cool us down.
Tilting her head back, I kiss the divot at the bottom of her neck, then lick from base to chin, taking my sweet time. Simone’s back arches, pushing her breasts against my chest and she moans in pleasure.
“That is so hot. Keep it up,” a voice intrudes.
Simone sighs, irritated, and pulls away. I turn to the photographer’s assistant standing at the edge of the set just as Simone reveals her frustration by leaning back and swinging her leg over me to stand up. Leisurely, my gaze slides up her lean legs. She’s taller than most women and the heels she’s wearing add another good five inches. Appreciating her physique, I smile and recline back with my hands behind my head while watching her adjust the strings at her hips. Her head snaps up and her eyes narrow on the assistant off set. “If you want us to keep it up, then shut up next time.” She storms off, her shoes clacking loudly against the gray cement floor.
Knowing an angry model needs time, I sit up, and ask, “How much time do we have?”
Everyone is well aware that the mood has changed on the set. Worry creases the assistant’s brow when he answers, “I think, umm… five or ten minutes.”
The guy’s anxiety rolls like waves crashing around me. Feeling bad for him, I reassure, “Don’t worry about her. She’ll be fine. Just give her a few minutes to cool down.”
“Thanks.” He smiles though it’s weak. “Are you doing all right?”
I smile genuinely while standing up. “Yeah, I’m good. Thanks.” When I start to walk, the knit boxer briefs I’m wearing for the shoot tighten uncomfortably, so I stop to adjust. They’re a size too small, so I grab my cock and shift. “Actually, I could use a larger size. These are cutting off my blood circulation down here.”
Before the assistant can respond, two women suddenly appear from the darkened side of the large loft. A cute, petite blonde offers, “Let me take a look. Maybe I can help.” She’s bold, not shy like I would have guessed from the librarian look she’s chosen.
The other lady—taller with some gray strands running through her dark hair—seems new to the modeling world. She stands there staring below my waist, and by the way she’s ogling me, I’m guessing she might be new to naked men in general. Maybe she’s never worked on an underwear campaign before. She clears her throat and finds her voice. “They fit around the waist so I can add more material, if you’d like? But I’ll need them to do that.”
Bypassing the first offer, I accept the second. This is my job. I’m a pro, a model, and used to being naked in front of strangers, so I drop my drawers. I bend down to get them, and when I stand back up I’m greeted with two mouths hanging wide open. “Ladies, you’re gonna make me feel shy,” I tease. I’m not shy at all.
Lifting their chins until both their mouths are closed, I chuckle as they continue to stare unabashedly. The taller woman says, “Oh you have nothing to be shy about.”
“Absolutely nothing,” the blonde adds insistently.
“Thanks,” I reply, my voice it’s usual charm. I hand the boxers to the lady and walk off set to grab my robe. When I slip it on, Becs from wardrobe approaches and says, “I can add some room in there for you. I’ll have them back in ten minutes.”
“I already gave them to the seamstress.”
“What seamstress?” she asks.
“The one over there.” When I turn to the set, they’ve vanished. Scanning the loft from one side to the other, the two women are nowhere to be found. “She was just here with a blonde lady.” Perplexed I scan again. “I have no idea where they went.”
Becs rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and sighs loudly. “Good grief. Not again.” Turning on her heels, she yells out, “Security. We’ve had another breach.” With her eyes narrowed on my waist, she adds, “Tighten the belt. You don’t want anyone selling a photo of your frank ‘n beans to the highest bidder.” Her mood lightening, she smiles and shrugs. “Or maybe you do. I’ll get your next wardrobe change—”
I laugh but point to my privates. “Extra roomy.” Becs waves her hand in the air while walking off.
“Yeah. Yeah. I got it.”

Review

I am a sucker for a second chance romance. I really liked Reese and Danny's story. Reese was the love of Danny's life and he was the same for her 10 years ago. Errors on both of their parts caused their breakup. Now Reese is an ad exec and Danny a model. He is the new model in an ad campaign she is working on. I could really see the chemistry between Reese and Danny. Even after all of the years between them as a listener I could still sense the attraction between the two of them. I was so curious to find out why they were apart in the first place. The story offers little flashbacks on their past and how they got to where they are today. I really enjoyed listening to Reese and Danny's story. From the beginning I could tell they were meant to be together but they had so many obstacles, back then and in the present. I felt Reese could have handled the situation better in the past but I see why she did what she did. I can tell it would be hard to be with a model and all that it entails. I really loved Danny. He was not they typical model but maybe that was because he is older or maybe it is because he never stopped loving Reese. I love his relationship with his friend Luke and the advice he would give him. You can tell Danny really is a good guy. Like I say so many obstacles in the present to keep them apart. I think all the conflict in this story was very realistic. I may not know much about a models life but it seemed pretty true to life. This book was humorous at times and very sweet and sexy. I was very satisfied with the ending of this one.

Narration

Kylie Stewart as Reese

Eric Rolon as Danny

This story is told in a dual POV with chapters as Danny and chapters as Reese but the narration style is duet where Kylie Stewart does all the female characters and main narration in Reese's POV and Eric Rolon does all the male characters and the narration in Danny's POV. I am a fan of this narration style and I think these narrators did a good job with this book. I liked Kylie as Reese. Some of her female voices sounded too close to Reese. There was not a lot of distinction between those characters but I still think she did a good job. Eric was really good as Danny. I liked his narration with the other male characters. This was my first book narrated by these narrators and I would listen to another book narrated by them.

Overall I really enjoyed this audiobook. I was really invested in this story. This one is a recommended listen from me.

Read or Listen Audiobook Review : Alaska Wild By Helena Newbury

Alaska Wild

Written by: Helena Newbury

Narrated by: Emma Wilder , Scott Thomas

Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins

Unabridged Audiobook

Release Date:04-24-17

Publisher: Foster & Black

From the first moment I see Mason Boone, I can't take my eyes off him. Everyone's got a different story about the gorgeous, silent man in chains. He's a hero, a former Navy SEAL. He's a fugitive, on his way to a court martial. He's a loner, a mountain man who hasn't spoken to another soul in years. But when our plane crashes deep in the Alaskan wilderness, he becomes my only hope. I'm an FBI agent and he's a prisoner, but to survive the wild animals, fierce weather, and unforgiving terrain, I must put my faith in him.

Staying alive means staying close: but every time he touches me, I melt inside. I can't resist this man, not when he looks at me as if he wants to push me up against the nearest tree and tear my clothes off.... Is it possible that he's innocent? Can I help him overcome the demons of his past? I'm a city girl but to survive this I'm going to need to learn to live as wild as him...because the greatest danger we face isn't from nature. The other prisoner from our flight is out there with his gang...and they're hunting us.

Review- Story 4 Stars

I read this book for the first time back in January of 2017. I am open to trying out new narrators so when this one was available on Audible I decided to check it out.

Kate is a by the book FBI agent. She went to Alaska to find a victim to a crime case she was working
on. Desperate to get to Nome when she finds out her witness has relocated there, Kate pretty much forces her way onto a charter flight that two US Marshals are using to transport two prisoners, Martin Weiss and Mason Boone. Kate soon realizes loyalties will be tested and she will have to question what is really right and wrong.

I really loved Kate. She was a such a strong character. From her first sight of Boone she feels something but her training is telling her to be wary of him. She has faith in the legal system and if he is wanted by the military, she believes he must have done something wrong. Kate soon learns that everything isn't so black and white. Kate was small but she packed a mean punch and didn't let her size interfere with what she needed to do to survive. She was very much a city girl but she was determined and she really used her wits to get out of bad situations.  Kate was the hero in a lot of this book.

Boone was an isolated man by choice. Wanted by the military for some transgressions overseas, he couldn't stand to go to jail. He is dealing with some deep demons that only the Alaskan wild can heal. I really love how Boone was shown as strong but vulnerable. I mean he was described as this hulking piece of man but also had this softness to him. Kate is the first woman hes really had deep contact with in years. From the beginning she was the one thing that calmed him. He was in awe of her caring nature but also saw the strength in her.  I love how the author choose to portray Boone. He was troubled but worked to overcome his demons. I think she took a chance to show the hero in a way that wasn't the super alpha male. With all that he has been thorough, you understand the choices he has made. He had faith in the system just like Kate, but he realized the hard way that the good guy doesn't always win.

I really loved Boone and Kate together. The duo was a tenuous one in the beginning because Kate had trust issues based on some things she learned about Boone but soon a partnership formed. One definetly built on attraction and the will to survive. Kate and Boone has some really steamy scenes but also some ones that really showed how the trust between the two of them was developed. This book had a really good balance of the romance and suspense aspects.

Narration- 4 Stars

This was my  second book narrated by Emma Wilder who narrated Kate's POV and I felt she did a really good job as Kate. I did feel her narration was a little slow especially compared to the other book I listened to her narrate but I never speed up audiobooks so I just dealt with it. I think she did a good job with Boone and the other minors characters voices.  This book actually had 3 POVs. The other two which were narrated by Scott Thomas were Boone's POV and Wiess. This was my first audiobook from Scott. I also think he did really good with his characters voices. Boone and Weiss were very distinguishable from each other. In some of Boone's really tense scenes, Scott really conveyed the desperation and fear of Boone's character. I really enjoyed the narration of Weiss. He sounded like how a soulless criminal would sound. He also did a good job with the other characters. Both narrators had a few minor characters with Russian accents and while they were not great accents, I was still satisfied with them as a listener.

Verdict: Read or Listen

I would pretty much rate the book and the audiobook the same. I think you could get enjoyment out of reading or listening to this story, but I honestly think listening to the audiobook gives the story a little more edge than over reading it. I dont re-read or re-listen to much but I can see this being an audiobook I may come back to.

Audiobook Review: Fake Fianceé by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Fake Fianceé
Written by Ilsa Madden-Mills
Narrated by Yvonne Syn and Alastair Haynesbridge
Length: 6 hrs and 47 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release Date: 07-11-17
Publisher: Audible Studios

Fake engaged to the hottest quarterback in the country? SCORE.
They say nothing compares to your first kiss,
But our first kiss was orchestrated for an audience.
Our second kiss . . . that one was REAL.
He cradled my face like he was terrified he'd f*ck it up.
He stared into my eyes until the air buzzed.
Soft and slow, full of sighs and little laughs,
He inhaled me like I was the finest Belgian chocolate,
And he'd never get another piece.
A nip of his teeth, his hand at my waist . . .
And I was lost.
I forgot he was paying me to be his fake fiancée.
I forgot we weren't REAL.
Our kiss was pure magic, and before you laugh and say those kinds of kisses don't exist,
Then you've never touched lips with Max Kent, the hottest quarterback in college history.
Three months. Two hearts. One fake engagement.

Can I talk about this cover first... I am really feeling the whole vibe of this guy. I'm not usually into the long hair but that and the scruff looks so good on this guy. And he is exactly how I would picture Max.

When I first started getting into romance audiobooks I was pretty much only listening to New Adult. I got tired of that kind of quick. I didn't even think this was a New Adult book when I was thinking about reading it. I just saw fake fianceé and jumped on it. Fake couple, marriage of convenience is my FAVORITE trope. I mean I really love it so I just jumped on this book from the title alone.

Story

This book was everything I love about New Adult. I loved the hero and the heroine. Sunny and Max are both fresh off of break-ups. Sunny is just trying to make it through the semester. She picked classes with her ex-boyfriend and she is not enjoying the fact that she has to see him. Max is also not looking forward to seeing his ex. He just want to focus on football and getting nominated for the Heisman. Sunny and Max decide to become a fake couple to make him look good for the nomination and get a little payback on their exes.

I loved that this book was low on drama. Sometimes New Adult has drama just to have drama. Sunny wasn't very experienced with guys but she also wasn't naive. She had her limits and stuck to them. Max also wasn't the typical athlete. He was smart and he was not a manwhore. He was in the past but it wasn't a big plot point in the story. Sunny and Max had a little tragedy in their past but they were strong despite those issues.

Narration

I swear when every I see atypical names for narrators I think its an alias. As far as for these narrators names, this is the first book I have listened to from either narrator but their voices sound very familiar. This book had dual narration so Yvonne Syn read all chapters in the heroine's POV and Alastair Haynesbridge read all of the chapter's in the male POV. I really enjoyed Yvonne as Sunny. I felt her voice really fit the character. She also did a good job with the male characters. Same for Alastair's narration of Max. He fit that character very well and also did a good job with the female characters. There was a British male character in this book and I think both narrators did a good job with the accent.

Overall I listened to this book fairly quickly and it was enjoyable. I enjoyed the narration and would listen to another book from these narrators. I have all this author's books on audio but this is the first one I have listened to. I will definitely be making a dent in those books.
