@AnAudiobookworm Presents: Misled by Kathryn Kelly; #BlogTour, #OutNow, #Review, #Giveaway



Author: Kathryn Kelly
Narrator: Samuel Valor
Length: 10h 52m
Publisher: Leslie C. Ferdinand
Series: Death Dwellers, Book One
Genre: MC Romance
Rating:  4 Stars


I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Kathryn Kelly. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Megan "Meggie" Foy has had a tough life. Her home life is nothing as it seems. Living with her mother and stepfather is a complete nightmare. They seem to have the perfect little family, but appearances can be deceiving and monsters are closer than you think. When her body and mind can take no more abuse at the hands of her stepfather, Meggie finally decides to run, hoping her father, MC President of the Death Dwellers' Joseph "Boss" Foy, can save her and rescue her terrified mother from the clutches of her step-monster, before it's too late for them.

Christopher "Outlaw" Caldwell deals in a world of violence, sex, drugs, and crudity. As current president of the Death Dwellers' MC, he presides over a club in chaos after the death of their longtime president and his mentor, Joseph "Boss" Foy. Outlaw is trying to keep everything with the club in his control. What happens when more trouble arises in the form of a blonde-haired, 18-year-old beauty with the same eyes as his former mentor?

Meggie discovers her daddy is gone and now there may be no one to save her and her mother. How will she feel when she finds out the man who killed him is the man she's falling in love with? Can Outlaw get past his demons to truly find love with Meggie and peace with the death of Boss Foy? Alliances will be made, loyalties tested, lives will be lost, but will love conquer all in the world of bikers and revenge?

If you could sum up Misled in three words, what would they be?

Realistic, Sad, Apprehensive

What did you like best about this story?

Even though this story seemed so sad most of the time, I felt it was the most realistic portrayal of what I think a true MC would be.

Have you listened to any of Samuel Valor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but I'm looking forward to changing that. I've already marked the second book in this series on my wish list. He was very easy to listen to. He changed the tone of his voice when he had to do a female character. But was glad he didn't try to do a high pitch - it would have changed my enjoyment. It was a very serious story and I wouldn't do the story justice if I laughed every time Mr. Valor did a female voice. After listening to this book, I'm a fan.

Any additional comments?

This was more of a sad story than one that was romantic. This was more suspenseful than happy. And because of that, I enjoyed the listening experience. I don't know that if I read the book instead if I would have had the same understanding of what the Death Dwellers are all about. To truly know and experience this group of men, I feel that having someone read it to me just adds to what I need in order to understand the characters better. Because of this experience, I would enjoy adding more works by this author into my library as well as this narrator. They are a good combination.

About the Book - Pakhan's Salvation - Bebas Neue 

SovietniksFury_FrontCover 

Vivian
Terrified at what my family wanted to do to me, I ran away from them straight into the arms of a gray-eyed stranger.

The man taught me how to love, creating a cocoon around my heart that nothing could break.

I thought my old life was behind me, but my dreams didn't come true.

They had found me and manipulated the situation in their favor, destroying my life in the process.

To save the man I loved, I had no choice but to betray him.

He was out of prison now.

He would come for revenge.

All I could do was pray for mercy.


Sovietnik 

 Five years. 

That was how long I had spent in prison for the crime I didn’t commit.

My life, my status, my woman were stolen from me.

So many people due revenge from for the injustice done to me.

But I’d start with the one who betrayed me the most.

The woman I loved, the only woman who occupied my thoughts all those years, from the moment I’d met her.

The only woman I used to live for.

Vivian.

about-the-author-pakhans-salvation-bebas-neue 

VFmason.jpgV.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her mama over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn't happen.

Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it.

When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

IndieSage PR Presents: Lucian by Bethany-Kris; #BookBlitz, #OutNow, #Audiobook

Lucian Audio Blitz Banner


LUCIAN
by Bethany-Kris
Filthy Marcellos #1
Narrated by: John Thrust
Listening Length: 13 hours and 26 minutes
Version: Unabridged
Publication Date: August 17, 2016
Genres: Adult, Audiobook, Mafia Romance, Organized Crime

Lucian Audiobook Cover

Synopsis: 

Lucian Marcello is aware of the expectations following him as the oldest son of one of North America’s most infamous Cosa Nostra Dons. Family in his world is more than blood and sharing a last name. It’s the honor, respect, business, and the life. Being a Capo is just a stepping stone until it’s time for him to take on the role of underboss but a chance meeting with her could be the one thing he’d risk it all for.

She is exactly what he didn’t know he was looking for.

Jordyn Reese spends her time trying to stay under the radar of a man who wouldn’t think twice about killing her. Unwillingly affiliated with a dangerous MC gang, her life is dominated by the men surrounding her and her future rests solely in how useful she can be for them. The last thing she needs is some Mafioso gaining her more unwanted attention from the club.

He is everything she should stay away from but can’t.

Notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants, Lucian will stop at nothing to make the target on Jordyn’s back disappear. But sometimes the worst threats are the ones you can’t see until it’s too late. The truth behind Lucian’s history is about to take center stage in more ways than one, and it’ll either save him … or kill him.

This world leaves everyone a little filthy.

Filthy Marcellos, Book One

***

Filthy Marcellos: La Cosa Nostra is not just a choice of regime and routine, it’s a culture. Born as mafia royalty, the Marcello brothers were raised ingrained with the beliefs and rules of what it meant to be a Mafioso prince. It is for life. Their status is considered a given right. They will always be these people. They will always be Marcellos.

ABOUT JOHN THRUST (NARRATOR):

I wanted to be an actor as far back as I can remember, but I was never attracted to the lifestyle.

In school whenever the teacher asked someone else to read aloud I remember often thinking, “You’re not reading it right, let me do it”.

In college my communication degree required that I take oral interpretation classes. I took first and second level classes and crushed them.

I ended up in radio. A comprise, of sorts, to acting. I did the commercials and loved doing goofy character voices; sexy huh?

During that time I did a local theater production and the director said I should go to the big city and get working.

Sometime later I auditioned to train for The Second City’s touring group. I got in and was doing well… but… the lifestyle.

I’ve been dabbling in voice acting for many years and have been recording audio books along the way and so… here I am.

I’m OK with the lifestyle.

I do hope folks like what they hear and to all those who listen I say, “thank you!”
