The Changing Plans Collection By L.A. Witt, Narrated By Charlie David
Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM
Released: November 24, 2016
Publisher: Self-Published
Series: Changing Plans, Book 1-3
From EPIC Award winning author and multiple Lambda Finalist L.A. Witt comes the re-release of three hot contemporary novellas — Getting off the Ground, Infinity Pools, and On The List.
After being stood up at the altar, compulsive over-planner Elliott Chandler decides to turn his honeymoon on Oahu into a vacation for one. Fate puts a hitch in his plans, however, when the airport is snowed in and his flight is delayed.
In the terminal, the jilted groom catches the eye of another stranded traveler: the laidback and very sexy Derek Windsor. Derek breaks the ice and strikes up a conversation, and as the temperature drops outside, the heat between them rises. Pity they’re both going to different islands, but if their flight doesn’t get off the ground fast, Mr. Calm-and-Cool may just tempt Mr. Play-It-Safe into doing something reckless.
And that plane isn’t going anywhere any time soon…

The Changing Plans Collection is a collection of three novellas about Elliott and Derek, who meet in an airport waiting area when their flight is delayed.The first two books in the trilogy are told in first person by Elliott, who was stood up at the altar and decided to go on and take the honeymoon trip by himself. Bad weather delays his plane and he gets stuck in Seattle for another night. Fortunately, he booked a hotel room before they were all gone; Derek wasn’t so lucky.
Elliott is on his way to Oahu for his non-honeymoon and Derek is returning to his home on Maui. Elliott offers to share his hotel room and thus begins their whirlwind relationship; Elliott doesn’t end up going to Oahu. ? The first two books are told from Elliott’s point of view and the third one from Derek’s.
Charlie David’s narration was good but at times I had trouble distinguishing which of the two characters was speaking. I haven’t had this problem with other books I’ve listened to that he’s narrated. Had I been reading the book there would have been no problem; but listening to audio is different and Charlie really needed to do a bit better job when voicing the two different characters. Still, it was a very enjoyable audio book and I really enjoyed the story.
The heat level of the compilation is off the charts sexy; these two go at it often and hard. ? Derek is a great guide, showing Elliott all around the island where he lives. There’s just enough angst in the story to keep things interesting but not enough to make someone stay away if the don’t like any angst at all.
While the three parts of this trilogy are available individually, both as e-books and as audio books, it’s a much better value to get the set. It’s also more enjoyable, in my opinion, to read the stories one right after the other as book one ends when Elliott and Derek arrive in Maui. Book two has a more satisfying ending and book three, told by Derek, is almost like an extended epilogue; it was a great conclusion to the series.

L.A. Witt is an abnormal M/M romance writer who has finally been released from the purgatorial corn maze of Omaha, Nebraska, and now spends her time on the southwestern coast of Spain. In between wondering how she didn’t lose her mind in Omaha, she explores the country with her husband, several clairvoyant hamsters, and an ever-growing herd of rabid plot bunnies. She also has substantially more time on her hands these days, as she has recruited a small army of mercenaries to search South America for her nemesis, romance author Lauren Gallagher, but don’t tell Lauren. And definitely don’t tell Lori A. Witt or Ann Gallagher. Neither of those twits can keep their mouths shut…
