Length: 9 hours 40 minutes

Series: Jane Austen’s Dragons, Book 3

Publisher: Maria Grace

Genre: Epic Fantasy

Elizabeth Bennet thought she was prepared to do anything to make the Dragon Conclave accept her beloved young dragon Pemberley into the Blue Order, but she had not anticipated it would leave her banished from her ancestral home and betrothed to none other than Mr. Darcy. But before Elizabeth and Darcy wed, they must find a dangerous rogue dragon before it provokes a war amongst the dragons and brings the fragile peace between dragons and mankind to a catastrophic end.

Nothing written in the annals of dragon lore has prepared Elizabeth to manage a dragon not governed by the Blue Order. Dragons have always loved her, but this one finds her arrogant, selfish and insensitive to others. With only her instincts to guide her, she must convince the rogue of her good intentions before the Blue Order loses patience and decides on more drastic measures.

Called away to the other side of the kingdom, trying to settle the dragons’ unrest, Darcy learns the nature of the force poisoning the rogue dragon against Elizabeth. One nearer and dearer than they could have imagined.

Can Elizabeth and Darcy convince with rogue dragon to cooperate before darker forces turn it against them, without destroying the fragile bonds uniting the couple?

Benjamin Fife has always had a passion for learning. With a mind that remembers all sorts of numbers and useless trivia, he regularly wins local radio shows and enjoys confusing people with sci-fi quotes.

Fife grew up in Southeast Idaho. He attended college at Idaho State University, where he met his future wife in their music theory class. They have been married nearly 20 years and now have six children and a whole menagerie of animals. When their oldest daughter was three or four years old they started reading aloud from novels every night at bedtime, and have continued the tradition ever since. The family loves exploring various worlds and topics through Fife’s wonderful reading skills, which get better every year. They all have his Christmas Carol voices memorized (and the older kids are known to quote along with portions), since he has read it to them every December.

Benjamin enjoys all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy – both books and shows, is an extreme eclectic music lover, and prefers his chocolate to be of the 90% cocoa variety. Above all, he loves to be with his family. He loves recording audio books, and is delighted to tell people, “I’ve finally found what I want to be when I grow up!”

I certainly did not know what to expect with Netherfield. Yet again Maria Grace captures my heart with this installment.

Elizabeth and Darcy are seriously amazing! They make the perfect couple and are the best characters for this storyline. The dragons are also amazing. I absolutely love how much Maria draws me in to her stories and makes me feel like I am one with the characters. This series is more than I had ever expected.

Benjamin Fife truly rocks as a narrator. Seriously each character is distinctly different in this story. I am super happy with how well he does in this narration of Netherfield. The overall production is great as well. Honestly the flow from book to book was seem less. I honestly need more. This series is one of my favorite that I have read in a long time.

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

SPOTLIGHT+GIVEAWAY~~ JANE AUSTEN’S DRAGONS ~ LONGBOURN BY MARIA GRACE

Tours

Author: Maria Grace

Narrator: Benjamin Fife

Length: 9 hours 38 minutes

Series: Jane Austen’s Dragons, Book 2

Publisher: Maria Grace

Released: Dec. 4, 2019

Genre: Epic Fantasy

Darcy thought his problems were over when Pemberley hatched and successfully imprinted on humans. But baby dragons prove far more difficult than any dragon lore prepared him for. Only Elizabeth Bennet’s notes offer him any help. When his imperious Aunt Catherine takes matters into her own hands, things take a turn for the worse and Pemberley’s life hangs in the balance. He desperately needs more of Elizabeth’s help, but she ignores all of his requests.

Elizabeth, though, has problems of her own. After the Bennet family dragon sent Pemberley away, life at Longbourn was supposed to return to normal and Elizabeth get on with the all-important business of marrying the heir to her father’s estate. Except that he is the last man in the world whom she could ever be prevailed on to marry – a bumbling, addle-pated dragon-hater who demands she gives up the dragons she lives for.

Can she, with the help of her dragon friends, find her way back to Pemberley before they both suffer their fate from the Dragon Entail?

Jane Austen meets Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern. A must-listen for Pern fans.

So now to Longbourn. I love this book. I won’t lie though I really wanted to slap Elizabeth around at the beginning, but then she grew some balls… you know what I mean! Once she got a backbone towards a few characters, I couldn’t help but root for her. Now Mr. Darcy also annoyed me a bit. He was always putting things off. When he finally came around, I just wanted to scream that it was about Damn time! Ugh! Honestly though the story wouldn’t have been as good as it was without their hesitant behaviors.

Now as far as the writing itself, Maria Grace is absolutely amazing! Seriously, not a bad thing to say. She does an amazing job at bringing the characters to life. The characters have so much palpable emotion which I know could not have been portrayed properly without the help of our amazing narrator, Benjamin Fife! This dynamic duo makes this book absolutely perfect!

The production is was perfect, no hiccups throughout that I can recall. I honestly just cannot wait to read the next installment. If you love the classics and have a love of all things paranormal then you won’t want to miss out on this enchanting series. It’s absolutely amazing! Oh, and can’t forget our dragon friends! This story wouldn’t be the same without them. I love the dragons… well most of them.

Genre: Epic Fantasy

England is overrun by dragons of all shapes and sizes. Most people are blissfully unaware of them and the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the peace between human and dragon kind. Only those born with preternatural hearing, like Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are able to hear and converse with dragonkind.

When the first firedrake egg laid in a century is stolen from Pemberley, the fragile dragon peace teeters on collapse. Darcy has no choice but to chase down the thief, a journey that leads him to quaint market town of Meryton and fellow Dragon Keeper, Elizabeth Bennet.

Elizabeth shares a unique bond with dragons, stronger than anything Darcy has ever experienced. More than that, her vast experience and knowledge of dragon lore may be the key to uncovering the lost egg. But Elizabeth can’t stand Darcy’s arrogance and doesn’t trust him to care properly for a precious baby firedrake. After all, he already lost the egg once. What’s to prevent it from happening again?

Can he win her trust and recover the stolen egg before it hatches and sends England spiraling back into the Dark Ages of Dragon War?

Pemberley was truly a delight to read. I won’t lie I was skeptical about a classic such as Jane Austen’s tale retold with Dragons involved. I am truly sold on the series now! It brings new meaning to the entire story. I honestly can’t get enough.

I thought the original version was magical, but honestly, I had no idea just how magical it could get. As a young girl I spent hours watching the classics: Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet, and so many more. I am sad to say I wasn’t big into reading back then. Each classic stole a piece of my heart and left we with many fond memories. This story will now become part of these memories that I hold so dear.

Pemberley: Mr. Darcy’s Dragon is extremely well written. Maria Grace has an amazing talent when it comes to creating this reimagined classic. There is so much emotion felt in each word, which I am sure is in part to our amazing narrator, Benjamin Fife. Each part of the story flowed beautifully. There is a ton of adventure to be had from this story. It was very easy to tell when the story was focused on each individual character. I felt as if I was right there experiencing all the heartache, joy and angst with the characters, among many other emotions. I honestly can’t imagine this story being told by a better pair than Maria and Benjamin.

The production overall was amazing as well. As mentioned earlier, everything just flowed perfectly. There were evens cracks of thunder in the recording. I love the added effects. This experience from the author and narrator all the way to the production was absolutely perfect. I am so glad I was able to enjoy and review such an amazing story. I absolutely cannot wait time read more about these Dragons and their Keepers. The story can only get better from here.

SPOTLIGHT + GIVEAWAY AUDIO REVIEW TOUR~ OUTRUSH BY ERRIN STEVENS!!

Tours

Author: Errin Stevens

Narrator: Sean Posvistak

Publisher: Errin Stevens

Released: Jul. 17, 2019

Series: The Mer Chronicles, Book 3

Length: 11 hours 16 minutes

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

“Falling, falling…. Maya was airborne again, suspended between a landless platform above and an inscrutable expanse of water below.” Maya’s headlong rush into marriage isn’t working out…and it isn’t the only collision course she’s on these days. Her saltwater distractions aside, her father-in-law wants her gunned down for reasons unknown, and her pesky bodyguard – when he’s around – seems intent on drowning her in want and regret.

Maya is desperate to hold onto any small part of herself she understands. When escape becomes her only option, she finds herself in a race against a past – and a man – she can’t outrun.

Errin Stevens writes paranormal romantic suspense stories from her home in Minnesota. When not wrestling with unruly narrative – or reading literary and commercial fiction like a fiend – you’ll find her poring over seed catalogues (winter) or gardening (the other three days of the year).

Sean is an aspiring game developer who’s used his years of work on Youtube to excel at audiobook narration.

Outrush is a very well written addition to this book. From the beginning curve balls were thrown at each of these characters. This strategy allowed for plenty of adventure and angst.

This installment focuses on Maya and her tangled web she began in the previous installment of the series. Aiden and Stuart both play pivotal parts in this story, as well as Stuart’s father. This installment brings more of a human spin on this book than I felt the other books did. Personally, I craved the sections that took me into fantasy siren land.

This installment also takes a detour into Peter’s life and clearly states that there is more information to come than what we have ever received on him in the past. That’s certainly something you don’t want to miss.

Errin Stevens did a good job with the writing of this installment. Stevens was able to portray such a variety of emotions through each character. Each scene draws the reader further in and keeps them intrigued. Sean Posvistak is an amazing narrator. Truly, when it comes to a book with tons of characters to differentiate and emotions at every turn you need a strong narrator and Posvistak is definitely that narrator.

Overall the production went quite well. I did get lost a few times, but I’m not sure if that was my audio after I paused and started back up or what. Overall, I liked this book. I wish I had seen a little more growth from Maya as a character, but the book and series make up a wonderful group of tales.

REVIEW TOUR + GIVEAWAY~ BREAKWATER BY ERRIN STEVENS!!

Tours

Author: Errin Stevens

Narrator: Sean Posvistak

Publisher: Errin Stevens

Released: Jul. 17, 2017

Series: The Mer Chronicles, Book 2

Length: 8 hours 39 minutes

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

The sirens of Griffins Bay are in trouble, and the recent slew of royal suicides looks to be the least of their worries.

For one, unless a blood relative of the queen shows up, no one’s around to staff the monarchy. Well, except for a whack-job bureaucrat and he seriously won’t do. Worse is the community unrest threatening siren society, a problem caused by too many humans in the pool, which means Simon and his off-limit girlfriend will have to run and hide if they want to make more of their flirtation…

The solution doesn’t inspire confidence at first, but the Blakes have everything at hand to set their world to rights – namely, a hidden queen, a dead prince, and a facility for human manipulation. Once they find their sea legs, they’ll restore order, distribute smart phones, and drive that conniving bureaucrat to a grisly, satisfying end.

Breakwater is AMAZING! I thought the first book was awesome, but the second one out did it by a mile.

This Mer Chronicle has truly surprised me time and time again. The characters growth is substantial, and you will fall deeper in love with each of them. Where a large part of the focus in the first book was on Kate and Gabe, this book expands way beyond them. Don’t fret though you are sure to get your fix of them too.

Errin Stevens really did an amazing job with this book. I feel like I experience shock after shock with this story. Errin truly outdid herself in this installment. Sean Posvistak did an amazing job with the narration as well. The emotion certainly was not lost in this story. I felt like I was right there with each character experiencing every adventure with them. The production overall went off without a hitch. Super amazing book for sure!

Seriously if you have not read the first book read it! If you have read the first installment, what are you waiting for? Seriously, had I waited to read this book I would have been disappointed that I hadn’t read it right away! Take a step into the adventures experiences by the Blake family and their friends. You won’t regret it!

This series has not only stolen my heart, but it has become a part of my soul. Sophia, Liam and the reject crew have given us one heck of an adventure yet again. The Water Legacy has completely left me speechless.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW TOUR + GIVEAWAY ~ EMBRACING THE DRAGON BY K.L. BONE!

Tours

Author: K.L. Bone

Narrator: Kylie Stewart

Length: 6 hours 59 minutes

Series: Flames of Kalleen, Book 1

Publisher: K.L. Bone

Released: Sep. 12, 2018

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Can a human heart withstand the flames of a dragon’s soul?

For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds while fully belonging to neither.

As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance. But it is a dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.

Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within. Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise.

Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people and mend a broken heart?

K.L. Bone is a bestselling author of dark fantasy and paranormal romance. Her works include the bestselling Black Rose Guard dark fantasy series. The bestselling Flames of Kalleen paranormal romance series. The Rise of the Temple Gods fantasy series. And a stand-alone science fiction novel, The Indoctrination.

Bone has a master’s degree in modern literary cultures and is working toward her PhD. She wrote her first short story at the age of fifteen and grew up with an equally great love of both classical literature and speculative fiction. Bone has spent the last few years as a bit of a world traveler, living in California, London, and most recently, Belfast. When not immersed in words, of her own creation or studies, you’ll find her traveling to mythical sites and Game of Thrones filming locations.

Wow, just wow! A lot of stories I fall in love with the whole story, but it takes about 3-5 days to get through them. With Embracing the Dragon, I am pretty sure I just zoomed right through. Two days was all it took for this captivating adventure to take me over.

This author, K.L. Bone, really knows how to take you on an otherworldly adventure. Seriously I was there with the dragons and felt every emotion. Even the dull hurt Amelia must have experienced. This story truly encompasses every emotion it possibly could, and you experience the whirlwind with the characters.

The writing overall was perfect. The storyline will grasp your attention from beginning to end and believe me that was some ending. Like I could definitely go for more right now, but I will save that for another day. I may have stopped reading another book to listen to this amazing story. I really must finish the other one. I couldn’t help myself though. It’s like this story was calling to me. I’m so glad it did. Next book in the series is already on my wish list to be purchased soon.

As far as the production is concerned it was flawless. Seriously this was as smooth of a production as one could get. Let me just say Kylie Stewart did an amazing job narrated this story as well. Without her voice and emotion behind it, I don’t know if I would have fallen as in love with the story as I did. Kylie and K.L. make an amazing team.

Overall this is by far one of my favorite books. I feel a bittersweet emotion knowing I will someday reach the end of this series. Yes, I am already feeling this emotion ahead of the game. I can’t wait to dive into the next installment, but to be honest I also want to wait to read it. I just don’t want this adventure to come to an end. Thank you, K.L. Bone for such an amazing book and experience! I loved every minute listening to Kylie deliver such an amazing performance of an even more amazing book!

Genre: Paranormal Romance

She’s on the run.

She’s being hunted.

If only she knew why.

Trey’s only goal is to protect his pack. When a young shifter female moves into his territory, it raises a million questions. Who is she? Doesn’t she know how dangerous it is to travel alone and unprotected? Where did she come from, and what kind of danger did she bring with her?

Time is running out as Gabby’s first transformation nears. Trey must walk a knife edge between protecting her from harm and convincing her of what she is.

He also has to convince her she isn’t going crazy so she will give his pack a chance, and maybe give him a chance. After all, shifter females are scarce. They have to be protected at all costs.

Failure is not an option.

But will the rabbit hole she’s tumbling down prove too much for her to handle?

Oh my gosh!! Gabby is amazeballs! Seriously there is no way you can NOT fall in love with this book. I feel completely bereft that it is over.

First, the author, Sherry Foster, did an amazing job writing this book. The characters are wonderfully described and portrayed. The emotion of the story is clearly portrayed as well. I feel like the story just sped too quickly for me. I need more!! The narrator, Jacq Ainsworth, did an amazing job with the story as well. I can’t wait to read more or listen to more from Sherry and Jacq. What a great combination! Also, the production was very good, normally I can find at least one hiccup but not a one this time.

This story was just so magnetic. The story line grasped my attention like none other. I absolutely adore Gabby. Even with all that she has standing against her she pushes through and grows as a young woman. Seriously, I laughed a few times and wanted to cry some too. Trey is seriously awesome as well. He’s the most understanding guy ever. His goal is to protect, and he does it well. Plus, his family is freaking amazing! I feel like his sister really tried to steal the story, but I loved every minute about it. Really, all of the characters will keep you on your feet.

This story over all was written and portrayed so beautifully until the very end. Each character will grasp your heart tighter and each scene will have to wishing for more. By the time you get to the end, you will be left desperate for more information. I seriously cannot wait to read the next installment! I’m sure it will truly be amazing as well.

BLOG TOUR~ SEALER’S GAME BY KATHY COLEMAN

Tours

Sealer’s Game
Kathy Coleman
(Sealer Saga #1)
Publication date: October 22nd 2019
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned…

As Champion, Carita of Bel Auryn thought she would spend her days fighting demons. Instead, she is drawn into the latest scheme of the Moon Goddess, Ruby: a contest to choose a man who will have the “honour” of fathering her child. When Ruby encourages Carita to choose a man for herself, she picks the man she is most drawn to–and immediately regrets it.

Lucian Veradayne is the Lord of Death. He knows he must win Ruby’s game at any cost. It doesn’t matter that he has avoided her for two thousand years. Nor that she tried to kill their first child. And it really doesn’t matter that he would much rather woo Carita. The Soul Well has given Lucian a prophecy: he and Ruby must have another child. A child who will save the world.

Dealing with their mutual attraction will be the least of Lucian and Carita’s problems. They are not the only ones who have been drawn into Ruby’s game. Someone else wants to win. Someone who wants Ruby dead. Will Carita and Lucian be able to protect her long enough for a victor to be named? And if they succeed, will they be able to walk away from each other to ensure the prophecy is fulfilled?

Sealer’s Game is a 55,000 word fantasy romance novella about the King of the Underworld, a kick-butt warrior priestess, and a ruthless goddess who will stop at nothing to get her own way. It contains language, descriptions of violence, and sexual themes that may not be appropriate for all readers. Recommended for ages 18+.

Holy Crap! Seriously, I wasn’t expecting to fall as in love with the Sealer’s Game as I did. I am currently in that state of shock that the dang story is over… for now. I need the next part of the story like now!

Obviously, based off of my previous words you can figure out that Kathy Coleman did an exquisite job writing this story. I hate what Carita has to go through, however she is truly a one of a kind woman and warrior. Each character is finely tuned and you won’t be left wanting more to fully understand each of them. You will definitely want more of the story though to figure what will become of each of them. This is such a great story in writing and lets just say I practically lived through the emotions portrayed on each page. I am trying really hard not to drop spoilers here so seriously this is just one book you absolutely have to read! I hope you fall as in love with the adventure as I have. Lucien, Carita, and Ruby have one of those adventurous stories full of turmoil, angst, love, and deceit you don’t want to miss.

Spotlight + Audio Excerpt + Review~~ The Fire Prophecy by Megan Linski and Alicia Rades!!!

Tours

Authors: Megan Linski & Alicia Rades

Narrators: Jennifer Jill Araya & Graham Halstead

Length: 15 hours and 3 minutes

Series: Academy of Magical Creatures, Book 1

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Released: Jul. 24, 2019

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Fire and water don’t mix.

Sophia: I’m Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I’ll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.

I don’t believe I’m the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that’s more myth than reality. Worst of all, I’m forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I’ll either earn my place in this society…or die trying.

Liam: The night I met Sophia, I didn’t think we’d form an undeniable connection. But I’m from the Water tribe, and she’s fire. I’m forced to push her away even as I’m falling for her.

I lost everything, yet Sophia makes me whole again. Our world is fixed on keeping us apart, but we’re in this tournament together. We have to keep each other alive at any cost – or I’ll give my life for hers.

It’s pretty clear. If I continue to play with fire, I’m going to get burned.

Holy Crap! Let me start out by saying this book is good. I mean to the point I immediate went and purchased the second installment. The characters completely have dynamic. I can’t lie and say that both Sophia and Liam were perfect because they certainly had their quarks. Luckily getting annoyed with a character is not new to me.

When it comes to the writing of the story itself. I think Megan Linski and Alicia Rades did pretty dang good. I wish the characters had only been a little more decisive. I enjoy when we have a character that isn’t so wishy washy, and I feel both of our main characters had a ton of insecurities. There was some suspense mixed in that the authors did well with, however, I wish there was a bit more. It was a bit spread out here and there. Overall though the book was well written, and I never felt like I had to stop reading and just come back to it later, so that is certainly a plus.

Now the narrators, Jennifer Jill Araya & Graham Halstead, did an amazing job. I feel they not only gave the characters the dynamic needed for this book to capture the reader, but they also brought life to each individual scene. I could definitely tell which character was in the lead in every individual scene. I feel I even learned quite a bit about our supporting characters.

Overall, I am very pleased with the book. As I previously stated, I bought the second installment right away. I feel the production of the audiobook went off without a hitch so be rest assured I went for the audiobook the second time around as well. I haven’t had much of a chance to dive in completely to that book, but I definitely can not wait too. There is no doubt in my mind that any reader would enjoy this book as much as I did. It was such and fun read. I definitely think this book deserves 4 out of 5 stars.
