Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
"A bit silly but a lot of fun! I have already enjoyed several books in this author's Parasol Protectorate series and found this one to be nearly but not quite so good. However I see that the next three books in this Finishing School series all score over 4 for their Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ average rating. That cannot be bad so I guess I have good things to look forward to.

I like steampunk and I usually like Young Adult books so Etiquette & Espionage worked for me. The main character, Sophronia, is fourteen but acts much older and for most of the book I forgot that the characters were children. Special praise goes to Bumbersnoot, the mechanimal. Everyone should have one. Especially with a name like that.

Altogether an entertaining book which did not take long to read but which passed the time in a very enjoyable way.

Curing Doctor Vincent by Renea Mason
"🎧 Audio Review 🎧

I really enjoyed this story. It was a super Hot book with a lot more than just sex but had a lot of that too! In the beginning I thought it was going to be an insta-love story but it really wasn't as they both knew so much about each other before either of them actually met and they had some very important life changing things that connected them. Doctor Vincent was a damaged character and that helps to make the story believable. I love the friendships in this book, Doctor Vincent has true friends that would do anything for him and that just makes him even more likable for me. There was no long drawn out drama because of a misunderstanding, another HUGE plus for me. It had an "I never saw that coming" story line which is always great. The ending left things ready for book 2 but it wasn't a cliffhanger. Oh and did I say THIS BOOK IS HOT!!!

The narration was also awesome! At first I didn't know if I liked this back and forth style of dual narration but once I got into the book I really did like it. No annoying men trying to sound like women or visa versa. These narrators have a great chemistry that comes through incredibly well in this recording. Oh and they both do the sexy scenes amazingly well!

Can't wait for the next book in this series to come out. Even if the eBook releases 1st I will be waiting for the Audiobook just to hear these two narrators together again! If you love a good romance, super HOT sexy scenes and an unexpected twist then I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK!!!"
