About this listen
Mingo McCloud, Honolulu’s hottest - well, only - forensic accountant, has an amazing career working on the Hawaiian Islands’ high-profile criminal cases. Too bad, he can’t finesse his private life with the same panache.
His chronic attraction to bad guys comes to a skidding halt, when he meets Francois Aumary, a former green beret, and man of many secrets. Currently working for the governor’s office, Francois’s past life includes a pre-teen son, Ferric, who, like his father, becomes a major part of Mingo’s life.
Meanwhile, as Mingo handles missing and murdered people’s cases, his life takes bizarre turns. From a woman from his past claiming they were once married, there’s his mother, whose taste in men is worse than Mingo’s. Her new beau thinks he’s the lost king of Hawaii, and will stop at nothing to reclaim his throne. There’s also her mania for avocado green kitchen gadgets, and her garish, animal-print outfits.
Then, there’s the attorney Mingo works for: Benny Leonard, Korean by birth, and now a devout, Orthodox Jew. Thanks to his adoptive parents, Benny is plain nuts.
Weaving in and out of his and Mingo’s lives is a man who may just be the worst thing on two legs. Kaolin Grace does terrible things to both of them, even giving Mingo and Francois a felonious gift on their wedding day.
But that’s not all. Ferric is anxious for his two dads to get hitched, and worried that things like a haunted bridge, crazy criminal cases, and his mom wanting custody of him again might put a damper on things. As for Mingo, he’ll do whatever it takes to have a happy life, and a future without yucky green accessories.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Story5 out of 5 stars 93
Kade has seven days left to live...unless I do something about it. I am one of the best assassins around, after all. But...I’m not sure I exactly care what happens to Kade. He’s rude, only cares about himself and his casino, and did I mention he doesn’t know a single thing about video games? Okay, okay. Maybe that’s not enough of a reason to watch him dash headlong into danger while I kick back and enjoy the show.

It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

I can see the red thread tying together two people destined to love one another. But my gift has another side to it. A darker side. I can also see a simple black thread tied to the fingers of those who aren’t aware of it, connecting them to the person destined to kill them. And when I look down at my own finger, I can see the red thread stretched over to Bishop King.

S*x with some story thrown in
I picked up the bundle on sale, I believe my first by this author either on audio or ebook. So I don't know if this style of story is normal? Heavy on sex, light on actual story.
By the end of book 2 I found myself FF through the sex scenes and didn't notice missing any important information concerning anything else.
Overall all these characters are fun together and you I could find myself really liking the antics they get up too. Except of course all the above mentioned Sex.
Because of that, these will the last I bother with
John Solo did a fantastic job, and if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have finished them.

Cute Little Bundle
I dunno what audible classifies this as, but I wouldn't classify it as romance, but suspense with a romantic subplot? It's really cute and sweet, but a lot goes on in each book. The sex scenes are more unrealistic than most books, but they are super hot. It definitely feels more erotica than romance, which is exactly what you want sometimes so no complaints from me!
There is sex outside the couple but not cheating (except book 1 has cheating but not with the MCs). I would listen to next books if in a bundle since they are pretty short (especially at 2x speed which is how I listen). John Solo isn't my favorite narrator but he does a good job on these!
*I received a free audiobook to review this but it did not influence my opinion

Mingo and Francois
I was so excited to listen this this boxset. The storylines are amazing loved the way the characters are together. This story was so hot and steamy with a storyline full of excitement from mystery to suspenseful with a little angst and drama with lots of humor and a very steamy couple. Loved it from start to finish. As always John Solo has done a stunning job with theses stories. Can’t wait to listen to more.

Lots of twists and turns
This book surprised me in so many ways, I thought I knew what was going to happen but then the story took off in another way. Sometimes it got better, but there was at least one instance where I'd wanted it to go another way, though it all turned out right in the end. The book starts with a bang and there's a lot of steamy times - a lot! This didn't take away from the action though.
Mingo is very likeable and I kept rooting for him and I frequently wished that the people around him treated him better. The fact that he's a forensic accountant felt fresh and interesting, a different take om the detective genre.
I'm looking forward to more audiobooks in this series as I'm planning on listening to them.
John Solo's narration is, as always, excellent.

Mingo's Escapades!
This story was not what I was expecting. Mingo is a bit of a handful. He is kind of all over the place in these beginning books. There is a lot of suspense and romance and a Ton of Sexy Times! Just be warned Mingo and Francois also have threesomes with special agent Sage in case that is not your jam. I really loved Mingo's boyfriend Francois and his son Ferric. The narrator did a wonderful job with all the different characters voices! He kept the sexy times spicy! I will not give spoilers, but I will say it took me a while to get into everything going on, but by the end of book 4 I was happy with where the characters and relationships stood!

Not Entirely Sure What I Just Listened To
I decided to listen to this because I really like John Solo and the description seemed intriguing. However, it quickly became clear that I wouldn't like this book; I barely made it through Book 1, but wanted to say that I listened to all of it before making a decision about it (though I already had).
What I don't get is that Mingo is recovering from a bad relationship, one that really hurt him, and yet, when he meets Jason, he falls head-over-heals for him within days. Let's not forget to mention that Mingo, the Forensic Accountant, went home with this guy in the morning for sex and then proceeds to keep seeing him even though Jason is both weary about the sex (which there is a lot of, and while that in-and-of-itself isn't a bad thing, it is in this case) and yet can't stand to be away from Mingo. Not suspicious or anything.
Then there is that plot, which is meh and very anti-climatic. There is just a lot of things that didn't sit right for me in this book.

A Smoking🔥Hot Bundle of Mingo Fun & Shenanigans!
This smoking hot bundle contains the first four books of A.J. Llewellyn’s Mingo McCloud series, “Wanted”, “Needed”, “Bonded”, and “Mated” it also includes “Hula” a bonus story that was part of a multi-author anthology. This book grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire book. Mingo McCloud, a forensic accountant, gets caught up in different cases, the first one being a domestic incident with a missing wife and the evidence originally pointed to the husband, but Mingo does his thing and finds proof that leads him elsewhere. Besides, that storyline is his new love interest, the first after his breakup with his cheating ex, Kaolin. But even that goes sideways for him and his friend Francois comes to his aid. Both Mingo and Francois are interesting characters, there is a lot of depth to them and it was great to watch their relationship grow as the series went on, it was also great to learn more about Francois and his mysterious past. This bundle is a great way to binge on this series and join Mingo and Francois as they investigate cases, find themselves in deep trouble, and still find time, lots of time, to burn up the sheets with their sexy shenanigans. There are lots of great secondary characters and some not so great, yeah Kaolin, meaning you. These books are best enjoyed in order, each one is entertaining with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some humor, mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions, and the steamy romance. A.J. Llewellyn, thank you for these great stories!
🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, John Solo is a fabulously talented narrator and a versatile voice artist. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit for that character’s persona, sounding believable in every role he played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. His character voices were spot on for every character and he was consistent with them though out the series. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into his performance. John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to, his narration enhances the story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
