Love is in the Air: Sit, Stay, Love, It Happened One Midnight & Winter at the Dog and Duck #BookReview #Audiobook #BeatTheBacklist2023 #FinishingTheSeries2023

I do enjoy a good romance, especially if there are some other issues incorporated into the story. I am also catching up on reviews for books I have read in the past month or so, as well as cleaning up some challenges. These books are very different from one another, but all have romance as a central part of the story. Scroll down for my thoughts.

Aaron Falk is at it again: Force of Nature and Exiles by Jane Harper #BookReview #Audiobook #FinishingTheSeries2023 @MacmillanAudio @janeharperautho

I recently listened to and enjoyed The Dry by Jane Harper. I wanted to listen to Force of Nature before The Exiles, so over the last week or so, I listened to both the second and third book in the Aaron Falk series. I enjoyed them both, although The Exiles took the reader back into a situation with personal connections. I enjoyed them both and love Stephen Shanahan’s voice for these stories.

Wholesome and/or Christian Romance: Sold on Love by Kathleen Fuller, Dark of Night by Colleen Coble & Blessing Basket by Laurel Hawkes #BookReview #Audiobook

Romance is one of my go to genres, especially between some of the heavier thrillers and historical fiction. I have been fortunate to read several Christian Romances/Contemporary Romance that are clean and have a faith based undertone.

Thriller Thursday:Blink & The Secret by K.L. Slater #BookReview #audiobook #BeatTheBacklist2023

Welcome to Thriller Thursday. Both of the books I am reviewing today are psychological thrillers, one with secrets the other with a missing child. Both books have children playing an important role in the stories. I have had these K.L. Slater books on my TBR for quite awhile. I found both of them on audio at audible and was able to listen to them from the plus catalogue.

Robert Brynda’s Detective Erika Foster Series 5 & 6: Cold Blood & Deadly Secrets #BookReview #Audiobook #BeatTheBacklist2022 #FinishingTheSeries2022 #2022AudiobookChallenge @Bookouture

With Robert Byrndza’s long awaited 7th book in his Detective Erika Foster series coming out this summer, I wanted to catch up on this series. I recently purchased several audiobooks in this series during an audible sale, so I was able to do a read/listen, however, I basically ended up just listening to Jan Cramer’s wonderful narration.

Crime Stories – MiniReviews: The Hidden One, In Her Tracks, The Coroner #BookReview #Audiobook #2022AudiobookChallenge #BeatTheBacklist2022 @MacmillanAudio @BlackstoneAudio

There are so many good police procedural, crime thriller, and detective series out there that I have several series on the go. Kate Burkholder and Tracy Crosswhite are two of my favourites. Finding them on audiobook is a bonus for me as I can listen while working out in the pool.

4 Suspense/Thriller/Mystery Stories: Not a Happy Family, Why She Left, The Couple on Maple Drive, The First Family #BookReview #Audiobook

Over the last few week, I have mixed in some stories of suspense/mystery/thrills to balance out my festive Christmas reads. All four of these books were different from one another. There is a medical thriller, a domestic drama/suspense story, a crime thriller/mystery and a stalkerish thriller/mystery. I enjoyed them all in different ways and to different degrees.
