I just wanted to hug this hero

Revisado: 08-11-21

I'm not sure I've read a lot of Brian Freeman's work before, but I could not stop listening to this story of an imperfect hero who is up against such a difficult situation.

Audio is a great format for this book

Revisado: 08-11-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I guess anyone can see from my reviews that I'm a big fan of Lawrence Block, so I've actually already read this book & worked through some of these exercises before. However, I was pleased to discover the audiobook format, as it's perfect for this material. You feel like the author is talking to you in a direct conversational style that's very supportive. The narrator sounds so friendly & approachable.

This is REALLY intense

Revisado: 08-11-21

At times, you honestly doubt our heroes can survive. Every time you think the suspense is ratcheted as far as it can go, it goes harder.

a darker turn for Evan Tanner...

Revisado: 06-18-20

Asked to rescue an obnoxious Nazi from a Czech castle, Tanner has to find a way to satisfy his mysterious employer in the US intelligence community, get the intel for America, and execute some delayed justice on one horrible excuse for a human being. As always, there's a great sense of time and place, and the various border crossings remind you of all the different countries that were, then weren't, now they're back again...

I like the narrator's voice but a couple of spots remain where he stumbles and repeats a line and forgot to edit out the stumble. Otherwise, he did a great job with all the different voices and accents.

Looking forward to the next!

Great fun for fans of classic suspense

Revisado: 06-02-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

One of the fun things about older books is that trip down memory lane. Imagine a time when the US State Department might send someone across the pond to perform at a music festival... Of course, our girl is going to find a lot more than a hunky Irish guy and a few new songs for the album. I won't post spoilers but I suggest you listen carefully to the songs she collects. You may get some foreshadowing...

a fun fast FFM "vintage" erotica listen

Revisado: 05-20-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I'm not a regular reader of contemporary menage, but I couldn't pass by the chance to listen to this short novel from the author's erotica writing days. As always with this author, there's a strong sense of time & place, a great sense of humor,and a fast-moving story with an escalating variety of scenes.

In a very real sense this is a menage romance, but contemporary romance often shies away from any outside sexual adventures, As a vintage title, this book does include scenes where characters step outside the growing thruple. If that upsets you, well, it was a different time...

whole series is great, but this one's my favorite

Revisado: 05-12-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The Boystown series is more than a mystery series. The author does an amazing job of capturing a time and a place. Amazing narration too. This one has a special place in my heart because of Nick's first encounters with Terry and Father Joseph, two of my favorite characters.

involving gay mystery about police corruption

Revisado: 05-12-20

As a rule of thumb, I like to listen to audiobooks on the shorter side, but I always make an exception for this author. A complex story of police corruption is told from the POV of two private investigators- one of them a former victim motivated by the desire to get to the bottom of the terrible events of his past. Plenty of twists & turns as well as a well-developed gay romance. Great narrator, you can tell he's having a lot of fun with the banter between the two lead characters.

Note: I received a free review copy from the author, however, a review was not required.

agree with the other fans

Revisado: 04-29-20

This topic of unreliable memory is a natural for this author. The short story is a perfect length for me, but I would also love to see if he does more with these characters or a similar situation in a full-length novel.

Makes you stop & think how times have changed!

Revisado: 02-18-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Originally written as a lesbian romance in the late 50s/early 60s, Shadows is probably better described today as a slice of life or coming of age story about a naive girl with a crush on her girlfriend who comes to the Big Apple. The narration is great, and the description of the angst and attitudes of the time feel pretty true to life, but don't go in assuming that the story will follow the contemporary conventions for lesbian romance. This is a vintage piece that reflects the time it was written. It really makes you stop and think about how the whole romance genre has changed, esp. LGBT romance. Also, I keep picturing the male main character as a Bob Dylan playing in Cafe Wha, so that's always fun. However, some of you don't want any male love interests or MF sex scenes in a lesbian romance novel, and in that case... this is not your book. However, for those who enjoy bisexual fiction with a pretty even balance of FF and MF sex scenes, this is a fun listen.
