Project Hero By: Briar Prescott Narrated by: Kirt Graves, Joel Leslie Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 09-13-22 Publisher: Tantor Audio Project Hero is the first book I have read by Briar Prescott. It was a sweet, low angst story. Andy is a lovable, cuddly geek. His brilliant and loyal to fault to his best friend Falcon. Falcon sees Andy as his little brother. Andy has decided to use the summer to remake himself into someone Falcon would consider adult and want to date. Law has stepped back from playing hockey, his dream, due to health issues. He is not off the ice though. He is coaching and planning a career as a coach instead of a player. Law has the summer to get his freshmen players to pass chemistry or they will be cut from the team and lose their scholarships. When they first meet, Andy does not like Law because Falcon has a grudge against Law. From the first Law finds Andy adorable. As they work together, they become friends. Andy helps Law tutor his freshmen and Law helps Andy with his project to be Falcon's hero. The story has a happy ending for everyone. It was a relaxing, fun story. When I was offered a chance to review the book by Tantor Audio, I jumped on it. Two of my favorite narrators, Kirt Graves and Joel Leslie. Andy is adorable on the page and Joel Leslie brings that to life with his narration. His uncertainty about how to capture Falcon's attention. Law is lovely and let's Andy be Andy. If only he could convince Andy that he is prefect as he is. Both narrators do a fantastic job. Tantor Audio gave me a copy of Project Hero. I wrote an honest review after listening to it (several times).

Review of audiobook King's Ex-Cons By: Ki Brightly, M.D. Gregory Narrated by: Andrew Ladd Series: The Kings of Men MC Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 09-07-22 King's Ex-Cons is the ninth book in The Kings of Men MC series by Ki Brighty and M.D. Gregory. It focuses on the relationship between Charley Hughes and Colton “Scar” Hebb, characters introduced in the 3rd book of the series. They met while in prison and formed a relationship. After several years, cracks have appeared but Scar seems oblivious. Scar is very comfortable, comfortable enough that he does not truly listen to Charley anymore. When Charley raises a problem, Scar tries to use sex to distract Charley and not, as in never, discuss what is bothering Charley. It works until the issue Charley wants to talk about is sex. The authors do an excellent job of showing what a relationship looks like when one partner takes the other for granted. The narrator, Andrew Ladd, really gave me problems. His voices for Charley and Scar are good. His secondary characters, not so much. Scar's mom and McKenzie a good examples of this. The narrator's sound effects took me out of the story. Around 5 mins into chapter 7, there is a kissing scene and the sound effects are unsexy, at least to me. I really like the story because it illustrates how important it is for relationships to be open to communication as well as balanced in power. I will try another narration by Andrew Ladd as it may have just been this book that threw me off. I received a copy of King's Ex-Cons from the author. I wrote an honest review. |
