I have several Audible credits that expire in 2 days. Can anyone recommend M/M audiobooks please?

Duck is 58% done with Thayer (The Brinnswick Chronicles #1)
So... We find out Basil was "sleeping with" a kelpie in Faela. My first reaction was "ewwww". I'm not sure if I'm being too critical but that just seems a little too bestial for me. Basil is one of my favorites, so I'm hoping his book doesn't go in that direction. A kelpie seems closer to a bonded familiar than a mate. :O

DNF. I just can't anymore. Hart seems very much not "alpha" compared to the other MCs in this series. I don't have an issue with the hair or whatever, it doesn't bother me. But Hart's lack of self-confidence isn't really sexy to me. On to the next one.

I'm confused. Was Hart gay but stayed married to a woman for years? Hart's description of his marriage isn't clear to me.

Duck is 40% done with Give Up the Ghost (Not Dead Yet #2)
I guess I'm in the minority, but I am not liking the one as much as the first book. Wes's problem seems manufactured and inauthentic. I'm not a fan of books where the main conflict in the story is caused by a lack of communication. I hope it gets better because I really enjoyed the first book.

Holy manufactured drama, batman! Dakar's petty, hurtful behavior feels completely ridiculous and out of character. My rating has definitely dropped. Minus 3 stars at least.

Duck is on page 78 of 308 of Alpha's Submission (Irresistible Omegas, #2)
I'm sorry, but I just don't like Vieno much. He's a whingeing little bitch. The story line for the other three men is compelling, but hearing about Vieno's "empty hole" "greedy little hole" "big, gaping hole" is already tired. His character development is greatly lacking. He needs more depth than being a "hole" and a good cook/housekeeper/gardener. He's vapid and bratty and not engaging or even likeable.

GR friends, please keep Texas in your prayers. I've lived in Houston all my life and I've never seen a flood this bad. It won't stop raining! We usually just stock up and ride it out, but I'm worried about this one. Houston is so heavily populated and emergency services cannot keep up.

Duck is 4% done with Mondays with You (Sunday Love, #2)
4.1% in....

One MC walks into the mens room at a restaurant (they just met each other again after 10 years at a business meeting) and sees the other MC is face-deep in the hostess's "sweet little p*ssy".

WTF did I just buy!?

Making Eli sound like an uneducated hick is like trying to read with a grain of sand in my eye. I'm distracted, annoyed, and finding it hard to focus on the writing. There are other ways to relay southern or rural roots. Ain't everyone from Georgia tawks like 'dis now.

30% in and I'm considering dnfing. I'm not liking Ben as a character so far. I'm supposed to feel compassion for him but I just can't find a f_ck to give so far. What kind of character immediately critiques men's clothing upon seeing them? He comments on fit and whether the clothing is knocked-off or genuinely couture. Ugh.

Sorry if I'm spamming the feeds. I have a list of updates to make for books that I've read but not added. I'm unclicking the add to feed box so hopefully it isn't too bad.

OMFG. Can this go in circles any faster? So much filler and we aren't getting anywhere! I start thinking "yes finally progress!" and then the shit that was resolved in the previous chapters starts up again!

WTF????

Does WATER work in the vagina as lube? If it doesn't work in an area that makes its Own lube, why would anyone think it would work in an area that doesn't?

Water does not = lube in shower sex. Especially anal sex. 2nd Sex Scene: 0 stars.

Instalove, lack of character development, and misinformed approach to this genre have me close to DNFing this one.

No. Just no.

If an author is going to write gay sex, the author should know something about anal sex. Specifically male anal sex. If the bottom is a Virgin (or not!) and the top's cock is "huge", then spit for lube is NOT enough. It's not sexy to imagine the pain this would cause. It just makes the reader feel sorry for the bottom while thinking the top is uncaring. First sex scene: 0 stars.

WTH? I get it. Reese is hot. But Caleb is constantly "wiping his mouth" or "wiping the drool" from his face. This is so not sexy. I think it's mentioned 5 times in the first 25%.

Why!? Why do authors do this? Do they not realize it's really freaking offensive to bisexual people? Bisexuals are often outsiders in the straight and the LGBT communities because of generalizations and stereotypes JUST like this.

"The biggest problem was Ken was bisexual. Wylde preferred to be with a gay man. Last thing he needed was his man to suddenly request a woman to join them in bed."

It pisses me off!

I don't understand reviews that give 4-5 stars but the written review focuses on how much the reviewer DIDN'T like the book. What the? It makes star ratings misleading.

So far, there hasn't been anything sexy about the wolves in this book. And a near miss sex scene w/other than MC. I'm not feeling any kind of connection like I normally do with this author's contemporary works.

So far, there hasn't been anything set about the wolves in this book. And a near miss sex scene w/other than MC.
Although almost all werewolves were gay, she-wolves preferred coupling with other she-wolves, while male werewolves usually preferred screwing humans, and usually in public displays, sharing them among the interested pack.
