When I first picked up the Curl Up and Dye series the first thing I though was “Joel Leslie has to narrate these” he brings the full cast to life. I strongly recommend reading the Curl Up and Dye books before the Blissville ones. While they can be read/listened to as stand alones there’s a..

Disappointing
Review from Harvey Milk →
Thank goodness this is a quick read because the narration is terrible and the content only so-so. Only an abiding interest in the life of Harvey Milk could have enticed me to stick it out for the few prices of info not gleaned from reading The Mayor of Castro Street. I had expected more from..
Boring Content
Review from The Solstice Prince →
The narrator was PERFECT, but the book itself was alright I guess. The story had no real heartwrenching conflict which I found very disappointing. I thought there would be actual physical battles but there wasn’t and that’s okay because this is a romance novel, however the way they fell in love was very boring. Himes..
I enjoyed this lengthy listen, and would definitely like to know more about judge Brewer and “his” Marshal.I like the character building, the coming out story, and the suspense. The court scenes were well done (I’m not usually into court dialogues, but this was well written, I thought).However, there were times where the main characters..
Great Performance

I enjoyed for first half of the story with the miscommunication between the two love interests but once that was resolved the ending of the book felt..
This was the epic ending to a wonderfully gentle and sweet three book series. I have to say that the second book was a bit slow going for me and I felt not many things happened there but this one really wrapped their story up in a great way. As always, Joel Leslie’s narration was..
It could have been great.
Review from The Solstice Prince →
I really wanted to like this book, but it suffers from a lack of conflict. You can try to make the argument that the past trauma is the conflict, but really aside from that everything is really just smooth sailing. The narrator did breathe a little life into the story, but the characters are fairly..
Good ride
Review from Lord Mouse →
I’ve heard great things about this series – it’s my first from N.R. Walker – and I love Joel Leslie’s voice (he could read me the phone book and I’d love it), so when I won a copy of book 1 back in March I decided to get the whole series. I just wish I..
