REVIEW:
This is a delightful collection of Novellas that have appeared elsewhere and have been bundled now and performed by the incomparable Michael Ferraiuolo. Fans of both Michael and Alice will recognize this signature epic duo for the action, suspense, humor, outlandish scenarios and generally rip-roaring fun of countless hours of entertainment that they have provided. Here are another nearly 10 hours of the same.
Nefarious Nights pits two men against each other. Aiden has been taken off the streets by a crime lord and he’s spent his life protecting said crime lord. He’s tire of that now and although he’s supposed to kill a man who is after said crime lord, he’d rather go out with the man and start a new life away from the life of crime he’s known. Isaiah is the guy who is trying to take out the crime lord, but Aiden still wants him 🙂 It’s a difficult task to get free, but together they just might be able to extricate Aiden from his past life into a new future. With Isaiah.
Never Have I Ever Ridden a Bike is the story of best friends who are secretly in love with each other but have been hiding their true feelings because Lance and Owen don’t want to risk their friendship. They get caught up with a caper when Owen mistakenly opens a neighbor’s package. There are lots of chase scenes and some very bad bike riding. It’s quite funny and there is an HEA with a hilarious bachelor party.
Follow My Lead follows the story of Hunter who wants to be a dancer but his father says no. When he finally takes a dance class in college he falls for his professor. Probably me least favorite but still entertaining.
You Can’t Spell Necromancer without Romance is a very cute and surprising story of a witch and a necromancer who find love 🙂 There is a hilarious miniature horse familiar and there is also a serial killer summoned as a painting instructor – so you can tell it’s a raucous time 🙂
Heist of Hearts is a really good story of two guys who meet on an app and then on their first date discover they have a past. It’s a former thief and a former cop who’ve met under other less than ideal circumstances. Reed has changed his life and Dylan is now a professor and they get caught up in a situation where Reed is helping someone, but it leads to a kidnapping. Probably my favorite.
If you are a fan of this combo, I suggest that you pick this up 🙂 It’s a good time! Highly recommended.
