Review from Gideon →
Each time I listen to Joel Leslie perform a Lily Morton book, I think it’s the best one yet, and that holds true with Gideon. He perfectly captures the humor and snark, as well as the emotion, of Lily’s brilliant characters. If this is your first Lily experience, I recommend starting with Rule Breaker and..

Lily Morton and Joel Leslie’s partnership is “practically perfect in every way” with Joel doing a wonderful job conveying the snarky humor of Lily’s wonderfully developed characters. From the grandmotherly cook to the dour driver (who seems to channel Marvin the Paranoid Android), even the supporting cast is unique and appealing. But the main act..
The first thing that charmed me about this book (and charming is definitely the adjective of the hour for this story) was Joel Leslie’s performance. He created a voice for each character that was unique, with clear accents and idiosyncrasies, so I never needed the dialogue tags to navigate who was speaking. His David was..
Review from Cutie and the Beast →
I love it when I classic fairytale comes over to the MM side, and I really enjoy when a author does the story justice. It was a little confusing at times, but it was still nicely done. Joel Leslie was a major part of me liking this story so much, he did a fantastic job..
Review from Cutie and the Beast →
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I wasn’t familiar with the story prior to this, though I was somewhat aware there was a big backstory with David and Alun from reading Witch Under Wraps. I got caught up in their adventures and how David challenged expectations and tradition. Alun spent way too much time..
Review from Cutie and the Beast →
I love David and Alun’s story! Such an amazing twist on Beauty and the Beast. This is such a entertaining and funny read that had me laughing out loud many times. Then Joel Leslie bring this story to life with his narration. I love his voices of each of the characters. Such an amazing listen.

Review from Cutie and the Beast →
A humorous romance of the”the small cheery one and the large grumpy one” trope with the line of world building that resulted in most of the author’s subsequent books. Joel Leslie is his usual superb.
Review from The Weight of It All →
Read this years ago and loved it. Just listened to the audio, narrated by Joel Leslie and it was exceptional! What a absolutely wonderful story of learning to love yourself while you fall in love with that someone special that loves you for the person you are on the inside! It was funny, sweet, heartwarming,..
The premise was interesting but it’s very confusing writing. Plot moves along slowly with too much attention to every characters feelings and emotions. There are four different characters that speak and that made it difficult to follow. I usually enjoy Joel Leslie but not here. His narration was overdone. It was very disconcerting when he..
