As a senior at a Southern California college, he knows this may be his last shot. He doubts he’ll ever become the hockey legend he dreamed of being as a kid, but he definitely doesn’t want to be an accountant. Things get interesting when he’s asked to train the new intern at his step-dad’s firm, who happens to be the troublemaker from his econ class. And the one guy Colby can’t stand.

This is book #5, in the Out In College series. This story can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Colby meets Sky in a summer class. They start as enemies, or so Colby thinks. Once they do get to know each other, the attraction intensifies and nearly burns him up. Sky has no idea how to fix this confusion with Colby. It does not seem he will ever have a chance to be more. Is what he is feeling enough to take a chance on someone for a future? This was a solid addition to the series. In the long awaited Hockey version, the MC's are both busy with their own sports and schedules when they meet in class. I loved the banter. I found the pace good, the heat at a good level, and the story read so good I could not put it down.  The narrator does such a wonderful job on all the voices.  They are so distinct and different, its almost like watching a movie from another room, where you cannot see the ...

Hannah has a secret.  She knows James did not recognize her, but she wants to see where it leads before she tells him.  Hopefully the man of her dreams will make them come true. James is frustrated.  Newly divorced from a diva with a capitol D, he wants to relax and find someone who cares about him for him.  Not his money.  He has secrets he is keeping too. When it all hits the fan, these characters are stronger than they know.  If they can keep together and stay strong, it will be a brighter future for them both.  Can they make it past the secrets form their pasts? I found the story to be charming.  Second chances in real life, are rare.  So that makes them all the more special.  I found Natalie's voice to be unexpected.  Very pleasant to listen to with the occasional surprises of accent with the words thrown in.  The story flew by and before I knew it was over.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! **...

Mason is asked by a close friend to help plan the wedding.  Only there is a catch.  He must work with his secret crush and basically a frenemy, Liam.  He agrees - since their mutual friend is important to both of them.  They agree to try. Liam has been in love with Drew forever.  Planning his wedding was never in the plans he saw for their future.  Then he starts to work with Mason.  He finds that he understands him better the more he gets to know him. This was an amazing read.  They start off with incredible banter and the best laid plans..... per usual, the end is vastly different.  I found many points were quite compelling and profound.  The narration was amazing - the different voices were obvious and very nice.  I love the sounds of the voices.  This was one of the best I have heard in a while.  I give this an overall score of 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest revie...

Toby finds himself attracted to the groom who comes with his latest bride.  Embarrassed and ashamed, he tried to distract and amaze.  Then he finds out, it is not the groom! Hunter is completely head over heels for the good looking wedding planner.  He seems like a snob, but the feelings are definitely there.  What if they talk frankly? Such a great story with characters who have depth and sexiness.  I find myself sucked in pretty quickly.  I love the banter and the heat.  I really am excited for these two to get together. The narrator does a great job with the voices.  I love that I can hear the emotion being brought to life.  I am so thrilled I got to hear the story, and enjoy it more fully.  The voices were great and the story really came to life.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This audiobook was given in exchange for an honest review.

I'm talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters", kind of trouble...The kind of problem I can't talk my way out of when the truth gets out.   How ...

Simon had one night with the man of his dreams.  Knowing he will never see him again, he tried the number given only to find it fake.  Jokes on both of us, what we felt was real. Luke has thought of nothing else in the six years since he had Simon all to himself.  He is saddened by the fact Simon never called him.  Living a life in the public eye, he feels lonely and that he can never trust anyone completely. This story was very gripping.  A tale of two souls who should have been together and lost so much time.  I was seriously caught right away and had to know the end.  Lucky for me, the story was no too long to listen to and was a real challenge for each character.  The narration was done well and the obvious inflections helped to know the person changes.  The tonal quality overall was good and it ended well for me.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ****This audiobook was given in exchange for an honest revi...

Chris is an FBI agent who's job it is to infiltrate a criminal organization known as the Hive. He is just the guy for the job, as he has a very dark mind. Only problem once he is accepted in is that he falls for his boss. Piker is supposed to be a well known and heavily guarded secret. Right away with meeting Chris he has several problems. First, his cover is blown. Second, the attraction is almost too intense. What does he do now? This was such a fast paced and incredible story. I could not put it down. The main characters are so sexy and their sparks are seriously flying all over! The story itself is intense and even though its dark, extremely compelling. I really enjoyed the heck out of these characters and hope we see them again in further installments of this new Criminal Delights series.  The narrator,  Michael Ferraiuolo , was a joy to listen to.  He had good voice changes for a womans voice, was easy to tell when others were talking, and was a pleasant listen....

Jesse is attracted to Braden.  Only they both have their jobs and principles that stand in their way.  He does not want to want him, but the heart wants what it wants. Braden found Jesse hotter than HOT - even before he knew they would become enemies.  He runs into him everywhere, but no solution is there so far.  If only he could stop thinking about him....... The narrator is so fun to listen to.  He makes all the different voices, and you feel like you are right there with the characters.  I really enjoyed listening to this story.  As for the characters and pace, I found it to be at a good rhythm.  I am eager now to get to the second installment in the Castle Harbor series.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This book was provided in exchange for an honest review only.

This is book #2 in the Out In College series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding of the series, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Evan and Mitch have mutual friends. They are often at parties and places together with their friends in common. When Mitch's project gives them reason to be together more often, Evan jumps at the chance. Mitch is not sure what to think. He is grateful he has found someone open enough to the possibilities that he can finally get the test results for his project to be done. At the same time, he is incredibly attracted to Evan. This to me, is a wonderful add to the series, as well as this author's finest book yet. I found the characters charming. Their story felt very real. I sure hope this is made into a movie. Would love to see this on the big screen.  Narrated by Michael Pauley, it is a joy to listen to.  He changes the sounds of the voices and makes it easy to tell whom...
