Looking for a sweet Christmas treat? You're the One by Davidson King fits the bill. Thomas is a popular actor who is breaking into the big time. Noah is his personal assistant. Thomas owes his success to Noah. Noah has kept his schedule, managed his publicity, and been his sounding board. Noah knows everything, everything, about Thomas. Thomas knows very little about Noah, only that he cannot imagine life without him. The problem is Noah is, and has been, in love with Thomas for years. When Thomas needs a fiancée to take home for Christmas for his dying grandfather, there is only one person who really knows Thomas and can be trusted not to sell the story to the tabloids. I enjoyed the characters of Noah and Thomas. They were authentic. I could easily see Noah in the same social situation with my own large family. The side characters, especially Thomas's family, were fun and well written. A wise person once said, "Marry your best friend." This holiday gem gives the reader that gift. I received a copy of You're the One by Davidson King in exchange for an honest review.

Haven Hart Boxed Set, Books 5-7 By: Davidson King Narrated by: Philip Alces, Joel Leslie Series: Haven Hart, Book 5-7 Length: 18 hrs and 17 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 11-30-21 Language: English Publisher: Tantor Audio In Snow Falling, the first book in the Haven Hart series, Snow and Christopher find a life together. They are one of my favorite couples. Snow Storm begins five years after the events of Snow Falling. Christopher, Snow, and Simon are a settled family planning Simon's thirteenth birthday. Christopher and Simon set out on a trip to a cabin for some bonding time. They never arrive at the cabin. When the ransom call arrives, the man who wants everything Christopher has, runs up against something only Christopher has, Snow. Calling on friends, Snow goes into battle. Christopher and Simon try to survive and escape if possible. Familiar characters plus new ones create a suspenseful story that fits seamlessly into the Haven Hart Series. Triple Threat focuses more on Black's Team than the Manos Family. Lee and Jones are two of Black's top assassins. They are paired with a young new addition to the team, Ginger, who first appears in Snow Storm. Ginger does not have the instincts of a killer. The three are sent on a journey to bring down a human trafficking ring. This is a very dark book. The characters, the events, and the themes involve human trafficking. It is a very real situation with no easy solution. The book maintains this sense of danger from beginning until end. This journey through treacherous waters with monsters lurking above and below the surface is a strong, dark story. A reoccurring character in the Haven Hart series is Poe. He is mysterious. Always dressed in black and white. Sunglasses on indoor or out. No firm story on who he is and who the heir of Haven Hart is to him. From previous books, we know he is intelligent, artistically talented, and devoted to the Hart family. Finally, in Raven's Hart, we get the full story, not only of Poe but also of the Hart family. A story arc that began in the fifth book concludes in this book. The story has romance, suspense, mystery, and the end of many arcs within the Haven Hart series. Poe's emotion when he speaks to the Hart heir comes through. Poe has been strong through all the crises in Haven Hart, protecting the heir and the people of the city. When Poe needs help, will those who has helped come to his side? Philip Alces and Joel Leslie narrate all the books in this series. All of the characters are well defined. The multitude of reasons to choose the audio is every single word the narrators speak. In Triple Threat, there are three main characters. The narrators make each of the three voices district. The darkness of this book is evident in the voices of the characters. All in all, another great Tantor Audio in the Haven Hart series. I received a copy of Haven Hart Boxed Set, Books 5-7 from Tantor Audio in exchange for an honest review. |
