Here we get some nice fun with a beach day, some sweet feels with Rick and Alex's first time, a side-splittingly funny night with Sidney's boyfriend, Mike, navigating Trixx, and a cute look into Keith and Skyler's backpacking hike adventure. Haley's Skyler Foxe stories have so many characters and it really allows Joel to spotlight his talent.
He brings each character to life. It boggles my mind how seemingly effortlessly Joel is able to keep so many voices not only separate but completely distinct. Absolutely worth the listen!

Skyler Foxe Mysteries Series
All I can say is that I am loving the progression of Skyler and Keith's relationship. I think it is great how much Skyler has grown over this series. Another gem from narrator, Joel Leslie! He handles all of the character voices perfectly and it was flawless as usual. For some reason I always manage to turn the seasons around, maybe in a former life I was Australian — lol! But listening to this gave me at least all kinds of warm thoughts. I love these little interludes betw For some reason I always manage to turn the seasons around, maybe in a former life I was Australian — lol!
It was delight how Haley managed this with great understanding and empathy. Teenagers are not easy and have a whole world of raging hormones and emotional issues going on. It makes me suspect that Haley is a teacher in real life. The GSA takes off to the beach for the day and this was a great idea to create some great bonding between teachers and students alike. I was enthralled listening to these young adults talk about the many issues they face, opening up and beginning to trust each other more than ever, also one new romance on the way.
Alex and Rick get to deepen their love and understanding for each other, sweet. I loved how Haley deals with the sensitive subject of teenagers and sex. This was all done with a great deal of empathy and I could feel the nerves and excitement coming from Alex and Rick as they talk and discuss it until they have the chance to go that extra mile. I could feel how this process made them grow up that bit more, teenagers becoming young adults who deepen their love and understanding of each other at the same time.
I felt that maybe their first attempt at full on intercourse went a little more smoothly then I would have expected or even remember it from personal experience — lol! But hey, this is romance. Now they have broken through the final frontier then I guess for Alex and Rick practice makes perfect now.
The last episode had me laughing once again as Skyler takes to the wilderness. Yes, Sykler and Keith are very different here. Well, to be honest he actually does a very good job but after a few encounters with unmentionable wild animals, no home comforts and one spider bite, Keith decides to do camping Skyler style and book into a nice motel after giving up on the camping experience. I really liked how Skyler, determined not to disappoint Keith, gives it his best shot for his guy but some people are just nor destined to be at one with nature as others, Skyler likes his creature comforts too much.
He is upset as he feels he has let his guy down by not being really able to cope or feel comfortable with the whole camping jock experience.
However, Keith was wonderful too, realising his boyfriend is not really cut out for the whole wilderness adventure and that was also OK with him. I guess what I took from this little episode is, apart from some hilarious Skyler moments, they are both very different and have now learnt to appreciate and love the differences in each other more than ever. What does Skyler do when he's not solving murders? He parties with his friends, loves his boyfriend and goes camping.

Or attempts to go camping. P This is a series of four short stories set after the end of Skyler's first year teaching at James Polk High. There's a beach party with the GSA kids, and Mike's first outing to Trixx, and Alex and Ryan's first time, and the aforementioned camping trip. This was a fun way to spend time with all these characters without murder and mayhem happening and What does Skyler do when he's not solving murders? This was a fun way to spend time with all these characters without murder and mayhem happening and to see how everyone gets along when they're just being regular people instead of the Scoobies.
Keith was pretty amazing, I have to say.

With the way this one ended, with the ominous "what could possibly go wrong now? I just don't have it in me to get back in the ring, though. Through four short stories - Thanksgiving , Turkey Extravaganza , Christmas and New Year's - we see the development of Skyler and Keith's relationship and how Skyler is handling commitment, including moving in together, Keith's habits and meeting boyfriend's family. Yes, I was annoyed at Sidney for always pushing Skyler, though the results were good. I liked the cooking scene a lot and the fact that Skyler's kids were included in the stories.
It is always a pleasure to see Skyler as teacher. Seeing Through four short stories - Thanksgiving , Turkey Extravaganza , Christmas and New Year's - we see the development of Skyler and Keith's relationship and how Skyler is handling commitment, including moving in together, Keith's habits and meeting boyfriend's family. Seeing him bonding with Helen, Keith's mom, especially after a brief quarrel they had, and experiencing a large family was really nice.
It is clear why these stories didn't end up in the trilogy, but I really enjoyed these "DVD extras" a lot. A perfect holiday reading. After all, what could possibly go wrong now? With these words ends Foxe Den and one has to think: Skyler and Keith's relationship is moving right along, and commitment-phobe Skyler is understandably freaking out about it.
We get to meet Keith's family and see Skyler adapt to the new changes in his life while he contemplates sharing his life with someone else. Oh, and Keith - Motown is one of the greatest music genres of all time.
Get with the program, d 3. Get with the program, dude. You're walking a thin line. I am very glad that the author wrote these Holiday shorties. I especially needed Thanksgiving since it was a bit part of book 3. Now I need a break from Skyler but I will be back! Nov 13, Tj rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a bunch of smaller stories put together by the author to go between books.
If you aren't reading the series they aren't much. I think they are well written shorts. Skyler and Keith are well portrayed you can actually see a lot of the characters for shorts. I will admit Skyler isn't shown in good light in these shorts. He is constantly doubting his relationship but getting angry about others doubting it.
He is almost portrayed as "Saintly" in these stories. In the end it i This is a bunch of smaller stories put together by the author to go between books. In the end it is a fun little read for the series. Sep 11, Tj rated it really liked it Shelves: Skyler's parents divorced, his father abandoned the family, and Skyler bares the scars.
Still weighed down by doubts, he takes baby steps in opening his life and heart to Keith. In this novella, they both face every new couple's worst nightmare - meeting the family. I am happy to report that both survived, and for once no one was trying to kill Skyler.
I missed the mysteries. Novellas just aren't for me. I love Skyler Foxe and Keith Fletcher. I am also very appreciative that I was offered the opportunity to do a review on this book. There is no mystery here. At least not a murder.

What is a mystery, though, is why Skyler has a hard time committing to Keith Fletcher. His first real 'boyfriend' after years of one-night stands. Keith is very nearly perfect. He's sweet, attentive, and an amazing lover. Sure he's got his issues he's kind of a slob but the good outweighs the bad! So why is Skyler having so many problems? Is it the fact that Keith whispered, "I love you" before falling asleep at the end of book 3 and Skyler is a little freaked out? Is it the fact that the man is going to move in with him?
Or maybe the fact he's about to meet Keith's family? So there's your mystery. How can someone not love Skyler Foxe? This was a great addition to the story and apparently a set up for the next book. I loved that the author explored Skyler's "issues" a little more. Skyler and Keith have moved in together and, as is his way, Skyler is freaking out.

It was refreshing to see Skyler and Keith without death and chaos following them. Joel Leslie does a masterful job with this series and he continues to deliver in this installment. I found it, however, to read like a single story. I mean over pa 3.
This novella is basically a collection of well developed venettes. It grows Skylar and Keith's relationship by watching them take on the holidays. We watch them at Thanksgiving with his mom, Sydney, and Mike. We join them for TE day - Skylar's big Thanksgiving todo for his friends. See them celebrate their first Christmas together. Finally, we watch as Skylar meets the "in-laws" over the New Years holiday. There really isn't a lot of plot other than watching the relationship and listening to Sky This novella is basically a collection of well developed venettes.
There really isn't a lot of plot other than watching the relationship and listening to Skylar waffle over his feelings of being trapped. He knows he feels something for Keith, but he has abandonment issues and relationship fears that he must work through. Wthout the mystery element this was different. No interruptions for the relationship stuff. It was a wonderful collection of holiday vinegettes. I'm a huge fan of Skyler Fox by now.
He's absolutely one of the funniest and cutest characters I've ever read. Meeting the in-laws was a blast! It brought depth to Keith's character too, till now he's been a bit mysterious. These are a series of novellas that follow Sky and Keith thru the holidays. We follow Keith and Skye taking the big step of living together. Skye is the constant perfectionist and loves his orderly life, he wonders if he's really ready for Keith who is in.
A short word a slob. I love how we witness watching both men compromising and also finding time for hot sex. I love this book, it's a nice fun read and anytime with Skye, Keith and his friends is a pleasure. I jumped into the middle of the Skyler Foxe series because this audio book fit the time I had to listen.
Books « Skyler Foxe Mysteries
I loved hearing the growing relationship between Skyler and Keith as it plays out over the holiday season. This is three short tales about the characters from Thanksgiving through New Years. No mystery in the story except if the two lead characters will work out in a relationship. Fun read, but not as fun as the mystery stories. Looking forward to the next book Foxe Fire which came in the mail yesterday. Like, others it was good to see Skyler learning what it takes to be in a relationship, Keith is good for him.
