Fractured Love by Callie Bardot

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Fractured Love by Callie Bardot was an excellent wrap-up for this series.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book, but in the end, I loved this book just as much as I did the second book.  If you want to read my reviews of the other four books in this series, you can clickhere, here, here, and here. This is the final book in the Adrenaline series, and I am sad to say goodbye to these characters.  The one thing that I didn’t enjoy about this book was the voice the narrator used for Jamal.  His voice just got my nerves, and it isn’t one that I got used to even after listening to the entire audiobook. By the end of the book, I only listen to it because I had to know how it all ended.  Other than Jamal’s voice, I enjoyed this narrator, and I would listen to other books by him.  I did feel bad for Heat because of his childhood and how his parents made him feel.  I felt terrible that Heat was scared to be who he was supposed to be.  I did love getting to know these characters, but I am sad to say goodbye to them.  I loved that this author included part of the LGBT community because it made the series come to life for me.  If you are looking for a great series of books, I would recommend you pick up this series and give it a listen.

But then he meets Jamal, a statuesque guy who plays the piano like nobody else and sings like a hot fantasy.

Heat despises Jamal. Jamal reminds him of everything he’d like to forget and wounds too painful to face. But his attraction to the keyboardist proves too compelling to resist.

As they go on tour together, all of Heat’s inner walls begin to crumble. Then he finds Jamal carries secrets greater than his own. And, as his heart begins to give way to self-acceptance, he learns Jamal’s secrets might cost him his life. 

A M/M romance novel.

About The Narrator

Making funny voices has always been something I have done, to an almost compulsive level. I would emulate cartoon characters, parents, teachers, politicians, ect. Then focus shifted to martial arts, rock climbing, just other passions and whatnot. In all honesty I feel as though I was lost for a few years. No direction. I then got into the modeling and acting industry. Almost three years as a model/actor, of middling success, before I decided to have a go at being an agent. This move went very very well. Two years later, unfulfilled, I quit my job, bought a mic, and haven’t looked back since.

The Key To Love by Callie Bardot

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Key To Love by Callie Bardot was a great book.  This is the 4th book in the Adrenaline series, and I like this book more than the third book.  I loved that we got to get to know Keys.  I also loved Mia and felt terrible for everything that she and Keys went through. I almost wish that this book had been the third.  I think that would have made the third book make more sense when I was reading that book.  You don’t have to read them all in order, but I would recommend that because if you don’t read them in order, then you will ruin the other books.  I enjoyed the narrator of this book.  He did a great job of making the characters all sound different, so I didn’t get lost as I was listening.  There were several adult scenes in this book.  They didn’t bother me, but I know some people wouldn’t enjoy them, so I wanted to let you know they are in there.  I enjoyed the author’s writing, and I can’t wait to listen to the final book in this series.  If you love rock star romance books, you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

I have reviewed the other books in this series.  If you are interested in seeing those reviews, you can here(3rd book, here(3rd book, and here(3rd book) to check out those reviews.

Sugar Love by Callie Bardot

Book Review Graphic

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Sugar Love by Callie Bardot was a good book.  This is the third book in this series, and so far, this one is my least favorite book.  I enjoyed the narrator of this book.  I found that I had a hard time connecting with the characters in this book.  I am not sure why but I was almost glad when the book was over because I found it hard to stay interested.  I loved that I could turn up the speed so that I could get through this book quicker.  There are several adult scenes in this book that didn’t bother me, but they might bother some people, so I wanted to mention them in my review.  I did wish that there had been more of the characters from the first books in this story.   I have to wonder if that isn’t part of the reason I didn’t enjoy this book as much.  If you love romance books, you might like this one, but it isn’t one that I would listen to again.

A Twist Of Love by Callie Bardot

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

A Twist Of Love by Callie Bardot was a great book.  This is the second book in the series, and you don’t have to read them in order if you don’t want to, but the entire series interests you. I would recommend listening to them in order.  I enjoyed the first book, but once I finished this book, this one became my favorite.  I loved Gia in the first book, and I fell in love with her in this book.  She seemed so relatable to me, and I felt so bad for all of the things she went through as a child.  I think that I liked the narrator of this story more than the first book, but that is just a personal preference.  This book has one adult scene in this. It didn’t bother me, but I know some people wouldn’t like being surprised with a scene like that in a book.  I enjoy these characters more than the characters from the first book, but I also loved that you get an update about the first characters in this book.  I love when I book series creates a whole world of characters because it makes the books come to life for me.  I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Crazy Love by Callie Bardot

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Crazy Love by Callie Bardot was a good book.  This book is the first book in the series, and I can’t wait to listen to the other books.  I enjoyed the narrator of this book, and I was able to keep track of who was talking throughout the entire book.  I think this book was predictable, but this is how I feel about most of the books in the romance genre. Even with that being said, I still really enjoyed this book.  I was sad when the book came to an end because I had fallen in love with the characters.  I am hoping that we will get a glimpse of these characters in the books that come next.  This book has adult situations in it that I wouldn’t let teenagers read this book.  I wasn’t offended at all, but some people may get triggered by the talk of using drugs.  I did feel bad for Dante because of everything he had gone through as he was growing up.  I also enjoyed that this book has a small mystery thrown in, which is part of the reason I didn’t want to put this one down until I finished listening.  If you are looking for a romance novel with a mystery aspect to it, I would pick up a copy of this audiobook and listen.
