Summary

Third time's the charm, right?

At least that's what I tell myself when I witness the same hot guy commit mass murder three times in a few days. I'm either the luckiest mute boy ever or possibly the unluckiest.

Who knows, maybe him kidnapping me will turn into the greatest love story ever told? Hey, it could happen! You never know how these things will turn out. I happen to believe in love and soulmates, and if nothing else, Arlington Fox doesn't treat my disability like a nuisance.

It's not every day you find someone who just gets you, and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth even if the horse in question is a man so good at killing people that I should probably introspect a bit about why that skews my moral compass and possibly my kinks. But c'mon, competence is sexy, am I right?

The Trouble with Trying to Date a Murderer is an MM paranormal romance with lots of sass, humor, a ridiculous 3000-year age gap, and an inordinate number of tables.

Includes a bonus short story, "Fox Recruits a Mute Boy (and Falls in Love)."

Loved this book when I read it. It’s a great listen for when you need a laugh but you’re too busy to sit and read. I did however think the narrator sounded slightly robotic which took a while to get used to. Someone like Liam Dicosimo or Kirt Graves would have been perfect to read this.

Overall I enjoyed my listening experience

Hilarious

Loved the writing, loved the narration, and was very happy with bonus story at end, which was a book in itself.

Absolutely brilliant

On the whole the narration was great, however athame is consistently pronounced wrongly and perhaps it's my little pedantic heart, but it took me out of it each time. Ath-a-may not ath-aim. Sorry, I know I should be grateful we have audio, it just landed on my ears badly.

Fresh and Fun.
Cody had me laughing throughout the whole book. It was impossible for me not to love Romilly from the first page. He gave me Leland lite vibes, and I loved it.
The action was fast-paced, with just enough world building to keep me interested, but not too much that I felt overwhelmed. It's more of a slow burn with the physical side of their relationship, but Romilly and Fox are super sweet. The barrier of Romilly being mute doesn't affect their relationship all.
There's a couple of side characters I'm interested in, but really, I could read several books about Romilly and Fox with no issues of getting bored.
The ending is a tad abrupt, a tease of more adventures, so it's a HFN.
Told in single pov

Love Romilly
