Moving Violations by McGee Mathews

Book Clips

Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet. In this episode we hear a reading from Moving Violations by McGee Mathews narrated by Rebecca Langham

Synopsis

***** "It’s an easy, fun read that will have you laughing out loud in places."
When interim police chief Molly Gorman pulls Amy over, more than the antics on the motorcycle catch her eye. She discovers Amy Gilbert spends her days repairing cars in her family garage and is intrigued. The only holdup? Amy occupies her nights playing softball and drinking with her wild best friend, who offers incredibly bad advice about love. After several run-ins with a certain drunken mechanic, Molly wonders if Amy is really worth the trouble. When Amy disappears, she has to put her mixed emotions aside to work the case.
***** "Ms Matthews knocks this one out of the park. Softball, lesbians, a cop and a mechanic. Everything to make a wonderful fic!
***** "Fun characters, a mystery to solve and lesbians doing what lesbians do best."
***** "Definitely a binge worthy book. There was some funny dialogue through out..."
***** "You will find characters from your past and family as I did and fall into you can't write fast enough love with this Author."

Escape & Freedom by Claire Highton-Stevenson

Book Clips

Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet. In this episode we hear the a clip from my audiobook, Escape & Freedom by Claire Highton-Stevenson narrated by Sarah Sampino.

Synopsis

Two women escaping their own demons. One stuck in the past, the other a very real present.

Lucy Owens’ life was irrevocably changed in a matter of seconds. Life as she knew it was over in the blink of an eye. Moving away from all that she knew, Lucy now lives a solitary life in her cabin on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Filled with guilt and pain, she keeps herself to herself, and for years she manages to avoid immersing back into society.

Nicole Granger has three small children to worry about. Always looking over her shoulder, they arrive at the lake with very little to call their own. Haunted by years of physical abuse, she longs to belong again, to bring normality to her girls’ lives for the first time.

Both women are pulled towards one another in an attraction that could bring both of them their freedom.

Learning To Swim by KJ

Book Clips

Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet. In this episode we hear a reading from the book Learning To Swim by KJ.

Synopsis

What do you do when your world flips upside down? You take a wild ride with your best friend, fall in love with the person you least expected, and find out that sometimes, instead of drowning, you learn to swim.
Meet Andrea. She’s an executive accountant. Her two best friends, Lauren and Hanna, tease her about being a workaholic, but she doesn’t deny it. Andrea likes to think she’s got a handle on all aspects of her life, but she doesn’t really. For example, Andrea has no idea that Lauren has been in love with her for six years. Andrea has no idea that her life is about to implode when her mum is rushed to hospital. Andrea has no idea that there are moves afoot at work to destabilise her world. Andrea has no idea about any of this and it takes a life changing experience and falling in love with the one who’s been right in front of her the whole time to stop her from drowning. Andrea discovers that changing your life is a little like learning to swim.
