Graveyard Shift is a fast paced paranormal romance that gives early Buffy vibes in the best way.
Hayley is a strong FMC determined to handle things on her own.
When presented with the mysterious Darius, the best sort of mildly antagonistic witty banter ensues, starting a simmering slow burn that is worth the wait.
The entire story is action packed and keeps you guessing, from start to finish. I did not want to stop once I started and this story just would not let me go. I can't wait to dive into book two!
I was lucky enough to be given an ALC of the audiobook and Maxine Mitchell did an incredible job. She's so good at giving each character a distinct voice it makes you forget there's only one narrator.
This story somehow gives nostalgia while still being original enough to keep you on your toes and I think any paranormal romance fan will thoroughly enjoy it!

The Ride by Martina Dale was a cute, fun, quick read.
Braxton and Grace were lovable and funny even when I wanted to shake them for being ridiculous.
I was given the opportunity to listen to an ALC of the audiobook which is done in dual style by Joe Arden and Allie Rose.
Joe Arden is always at the top of the game and this was no exception. He was fantastic through his chapters bringing emotional depth and smoothly going back and forth from Brax's American accent and Gee's British.
Allie Rose had me feeling for Gee and absolutely nailed her wry, sassy wit!
If you love billionaire romance, workplace romance, and sassy banter you'll absolutely love The Ride.

Codename Blade is book three in the Omega Series and J. R. Tootill continues to weave this world together in the most compelling way possible.
As I've come to expect from J. R. I was hooked from page one and fully immersed in this universe she created until the last page.
I had the privilege of an audiobook ALC that introduced me to Scott Rider as a stellar Josh and brought in the fabulous Heather Firth as Sam. These two voices were perfectly cast and matched each other for intensity throughout the story.
Joe Arden is also back with a cameo performance reprising his role as Rourke/Havoc and bringing a little extra depth to the story in audio.
I absolutely cannot recommend this series enough and, while you could read this book as a standalone and love it, if you haven't yet go back and start with book one. You'll love the first two just as much as this one.

Hard Game was a dark, gritty mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat.
I was lucky enough to get an ALC of the audiobook. Narrated in dual style by Tieran Wilder and Tor Thom their voices really pull you into this story and bring the characters to life.
I loved that this book was story first, and had me feeling like I might not be able to trust any character, with just enough spice to keep the heat on.
Definitely check those TWs. Linzvonc does not shy away from the harder parts of the story, but if you can handle that you won't be disappointed.
