Publisher's summary

Oy vey! Shit just got serious in Chicago. The Witches Union has discovered that Leigh Epstein has been dabbling in the dark arts, and now they want to become creative editors for Leigh's paranormal romance, "Four-Bitten Fangtasy", a book about a shape shifting-werewolf-vampire hybrid named Vlad. They definitely have something up their sleeves and they've assigned our young apprentice witch to a mentor named Gertie, who isn't quite up to snuff. Can she fulfill the contract and get FBF done before the deadline? What's in it for the Union anyway? To make matters worse, Leigh's friends and family are still reeling from their last disastrous episode in Accidental Leigh. Will she make her Sister Sarah's lackluster love life even worse, by attempting to fulfill her erotic fantasy from her favorite BDSM/Navy SEAL/Amnesia novel? And yes, it is titled "Bound to Forget". Love is in the air, but so is catastrophe, now that Leigh is also getting some very strong feelings for Hunter, the hunky roofer turned Chicago Police Academy cadet. Find out almost everything, and even learn about a Paranormal Pet Shop, what really sank the Titanic, magic brownies, how the Great Chicago Fire really started, and more in Serious Leigh, Book 2 of the Literal Leigh Romance Diaries by Melanie James.

Melanie & Hollie do it again!

What made the experience of listening to Serious Leigh the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed how Hollie's voice just seems to be a perfect fit for this book!

What other book might you compare Serious Leigh to and why?

This book is 1 of a kind, I can not think of a single book like this.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved pretty much every part of this book, BUT I loved when Leigh got pot brownies and thought she had died. She was so funny and had no idea what was going on.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, this is a book that you do not want to stop until it's over.

One of my favorite stories in this series

Would you consider the audio edition of Serious Leigh to be better than the print version?

Both versions have their benefits. Print, you tend to use your imagination more. Audio, if you have a good narrator, they can really bring the story to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I absolutely love Gertie. She's loveable, naive and the cause behind some of the biggest disasters.

Which character – as performed by Hollie Jackson – was your favorite?

Again, I'd have to say Gertie. I love the lilt of an accent Hollie gave her.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and it's short enough, that it is possible to listen in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Serious Leigh is a favorite of mine from the Literal Leigh series. One of my favorite moments is the brownie incident in Colorado. I was at work listening to this part and had a hard time not laughing out loud.

Sex In The City meets Charmed!

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

Fun! Hilarious! Fantastic!

What other book might you compare Serious Leigh to and why?

I've never read or listened to a series as funny and fun as the Literal Leigh Series. I've seen some great romantic comedies that would be as funny. It's like "Sex In The City" meets "Charmed." Absolutely love it. And Serious Leigh picks right up where Book 1, Accidental Leigh ends.

What about Hollie Jackson’s performance did you like?

I love, love love the way she times the comedy and the Irish accent she uses for Gertie as well as the Creole accent she uses for Marie Laveau.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I didn't intend to but it was so good I stayed up well past midnight listening and laughing. I laughed so hard I had to stop it several times, I don't know how the narrator does it without cracking up.

Any additional comments?

I've read the entire series twice, and I am completely in love with Leigh and her friends. Melanie James has become my favorite author and I can't wait until the rest of the series comes out on audio. I am hoping that her Paranormal Plantation books will be published soon, and hoping that they will be on audio also.

Very funny!

I did again enjoy this 2nd instalment although the first one is my favourite so far. All the characters are likeable even those who at first seem to resist eventually grow on you. Again there were parts that had me laughing out loud literally and not just a quick ha ha, but a long, LMAO. I am intreagued to find out what will happen next but will wait a bit as I find them expensive for the length. They are very short and should perhaps be bit more economical. Again Hollie Jackson is amazing. Are you sure she's not secretly the author? I ask this because she does the personas so well. I don't think anyone else could do it any better. Good job on both counts, story and narration!
