As a firefighter's wife & mom, I am a sucker for a story with a firefighter in it. Even better? When said story has a a late in life romance, a single dad and is holiday themed! All pluses in my book! So, 𝙻.𝙱. 𝙳𝚞𝚗𝚋𝚊𝚛 threw us just that and it was such a fun read/listen! 

I loved Brock & Pear! They get stuck together in a cabin that just so happen's to belong to Pear's dad, also know as Brock's boss. These two spend 12 days together, and the slow burn that 𝙳𝚞𝚗𝚋𝚊𝚛 throws us is amazingly written! I loved their meet cute story and couldn't get enough! 

𝑇𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑦 𝐻𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑡𝑜𝑛 & 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 𝐻𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑒𝘳 were paired to bring us this beautifully chiseled story. They worked together in duet style, bringing us the steam, the banter and all the fun of a hot firefighter & the woman who steals his heart! I loved listening to their voices as the sassy, strong willed Pear & the flirtatious, tender hearted Brock. 

This story is more than a fun holiday read. It's a beautifully written love story of two people who have experienced the hurt and pain of being divorced, only to find out there is still a chance at a happily ever after. 

If you want a good, quick, fun holiday romance, grab this one up! 

Okay, bookies! 𝙰𝚍𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚊 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎 is back with her next installment in the 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. And, oh what an installment it was! I absolutely loved this one! 

Ripley & Georgia just might be my new favorite couple from 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎! I adored their story.  Ripley was the tender heart under a bad boy facade and Georgia is a sassy heroine who gives as good as she gets! 

These two end up on a dating show to help their friend Sutton out, and are thrown together as a couple.  Their "dating" is filled with sizzling chemistry and lots of laugh out loud banter. These two.....well let's just say these two realized there was more beneath the miscommunication! 

𝐽𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒 was tasked with bringing Ripley to life, and what Ana amazing job he did! His deep voice captured the whole essence that was Ripley and I was there for it! 𝐿𝑒𝑥𝑖 𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑑 did an outstanding job with Georgia. She lent her voice beautifully and captivated me! These two were a perfect pairing as narrators! 

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 is the perfect blend of enemies to lovers, banter, fake dating and family dynamics all rolled into one masterfully told story! Add in the visits from the all the Brewer family and side characters, and it was *chef's kiss*. I am so glad I got the chance to listen to this one because it was a fun, quick one that will forever be with me! 

And, we're back in Neverland, bookies! I have been so excited waiting on this one, and it was so worth the wait!!! I absolutely adore these stories! 

If you love our beloved childhood fairytale of 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐧, 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥 & 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐲, hold on to your seats, bookies. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢𝚗 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚐𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚢 takes on the fairytale with a masterful hand, throwing us a story that is filled with twists, turns, spice, and oh so much more! Her world building with these stories is phenomenal! 

Jake & Tink are rivaling for my favorite character spots with this story. I didn't like them in the first books, but oh how that is changing quickly! I loved them so hard in this one! The shades of grey 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚐𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚢 adds to our beloved fairytale is absolutely breathtaking and addictive! 

𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙'𝑠 ability to voice multiple characters and bring them all to the life is incomparable. She does it magnificently and made me feel all of the emotions of heartbreak, love and passion. 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛'𝑠 ability to go from unhinged villian to sweet & lovable in the blink of an eye is one of the many reasons he's a favorite for me. Pairing this king & Queen of narrations together is always welcomed! They were perfect for the job! 

This is one audiobook/book I'll be turning to again and again. It's one I will forever recommend! If you love your fairytales a bit dirtier, a bit grayer, a bit more unhinged, then 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢𝚗 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚐𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚢'𝚜 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 is where it's at, folks! 

𝙻𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒𝚎 𝙿𝚒𝚔𝚎'𝚜 talented hands are at it again, bookies! She has given up a prequel novella to her 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 series and what a powerful punch it was! 

This is where the 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 began, two young opposites meeting, and falling hard for each other. Set in the 70s, this is a refreshing change from the contemporary romances I love. I loved watching Boone, a college baseball player trying to make it to the big leagues, fall head over heels in love with the free spirited Lucinda. Their attraction is instant, powerful and definitely has me ready to listen to/read the next book! 

𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙 brings her masterful talent to the table as she voices Lucinda. Her voice flows smoothly and fills Lucinda with all the personality!!!! 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛'𝑠 voice brings the charm & turns up the heat with breathing life into Boone. Together these narrators beautifully bring these characters to life for the listener! 

If you want a spicy, banter filled novella to listen to, complete with cell phone free times, nostalgia and two characters that will instantly catch your eye and steal your heart, grab this one up! 𝙻𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒𝚎 𝙿𝚒𝚔𝚎 is a favorite for me and I hope she becomes one for you, too! 

After listening/reading 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒍 & 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒕, I could not wait to get my hands on this book. I just knew 𝙴𝚕𝚕𝚎 𝙾'𝚁𝚘𝚊𝚛𝚔 would give us the angst, the slow burn passion, the mystery, and I was right! She absolutely blew me away with this time travel romance! 

Amelie & Henri. These characters were beautifully chiseled. I adored watching Amelie. Her character pulled at my heartstrings! And, Henri. Oh, Henri, why can't you be real? The way he loved Amelie, it was beautiful. The jealous & possessive way he was, was addictive and I didn't want it to end! 

But, the end we reached. Or did we? The cliffhanger that this story ends on, was one I'm craving to know what happens next. I can't wait to dive into 𝑨𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝑬𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 to find out the rest of this story! 

Now, for the narrators. 𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑎 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑟 poured herself into Amelie and I was so glad to listen! She truly breathed life into the character and made her feel more like a friend telling their story! 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑒 𝐸𝑎𝑠𝑡.....that voice 🫠. He was 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 for Henri. All his emotions were felt! These two paired together was the best! 

𝙴𝚕𝚕𝚎 𝙾'𝚁𝚘𝚊𝚛𝚔 is an incredibly talented story teller and I have loved all her works. She has become a favorite for me and one I will always recommend, so grab this one today! Fans of 𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 will love this series! 

Oh my heart! I absolutely 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 this book/audiobook. Hunter & Rochelle are absolutely, beautifully chiseled and every minute of their story captivated me! 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢𝚗 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚐𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚢'𝚜 writing style is superb! 

Rochelle grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, dealing with whispers & "mean girls". But, now she's in Cali, working in a salon. In walks Hunter....and well, this baseball catcher and girl from the wrong side of the tracks have some scorching hot sparks flying between them! 

But, their story, while it seems it does, does not come without secrets. Faced with forces against, these two have to hold strong to their connection. It was beautifully done! 

𝐿𝑒𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑠 was beautifully casted for Rochelle. She put herself into the character and really brought her to life! 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛, whether it be an unhinged morally grey character or a rich boy college baseball player, can absolutely nail the characters each and every time! Together with 𝐿𝑒𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑠, he poured himself into Hunter and these two brought all the feels! 

If you love insta-attraction, rich boy falls hard for the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, she's mine vibes, then you absolutely do not want to miss this one. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢𝚗 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚐𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚢 weaved a soul capturing story filled with dreams and finding that perfect catch of a soulmate. 

I absolutely can not wait for book 2!

Y'all don't want to miss this one. I have fallen head over heels for this entire series! I've been watching Cope through the other books, and I couldn't wait for him to get his story. And, oh what a story it was! 

Cope is a sad soul, a hockey player, but when he meets Sutton & Luca? Oh how my heart truly melted! The way he was both of them, truly left me with watery eyes. But, their story doesn't come without secrets, in true 𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚜 fashion. 

Cope, Sutton & Luca truly captivated me. I loved the passion between Cope & Sutton. The devotion & adoration Cope had for Luca....it made me swoon so many times! Add in the found family that is the Colson family and this story packs a punch! 

And, it's even better in audio, with 𝐸𝑟𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑛 lending her talent to bringing Sutton to life. She was perfection! 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠 filled Cope with his emotional turmoil magnificently! Truly a perfect narrator pairing for this story! 

If you love a story of broken souls who find a harboring solace in each other, an adorable little boy, a found family that will fill the story with lots of banter & a suspenseful twist, 𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚜 will 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 deliver! Don't miss it!

𝙱𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚎 𝙽𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚎 did it again, y'all. She absolutely broke me in the best way possible and pieced my shattered soul back together again. The angst in this one, folks.....*chef's kiss*. 

Grace Kensington & Cassius James are back with the rest of their story. Book 1 ended in an utter betrayal. She broke, he broke, they broke, 𝙄 broke. But, as their whys and why nots unfolded, as their realizations came to light, as truths were told.....it was beautiful. It was captivating. It was just what I needed. Their story.....the groveling that Cash does.....the power that is the love between Grace & Cash......it is all powerfully all consuming and I will forever love this duet. 

𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 gave life to Cash, filling him with the love, devotion, obsession and devastation that was Cash's relationship with Grace. It was an epic performance! 𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑦 𝑅𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟.....her counterpart to 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 was just as epically done. She leant the perfect bit of sassiness and boss woman air to Grace and I had the front row seat to her beautiful narrations! 

This book. This audio. These characters. This story. It was incredibly chiseled and the ending? Well, I'm glad I stuck around for it all because I loved every single second! 

Perfection! That's the best way to describe 𝑫𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒌 by the superbly talented 𝙳𝙹 𝙺𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛. From the moment I read book 1, 𝑭𝒐𝒙, I had I feeling I was gonna fall head over heels for each and every character. I was right! She does the best with disability reps! 

Derek stole my heart from the start. He is a big grump, left broken with trust issues after his ex wife cheated on him with his best friend. Working at Hel's Ink seems to be his only solace. That is, until he meets Indiana. When he does.....he's a softie for only her! 

I adored Indy. My mama heart wanted to squeeze her so many times!!! I loved her strength despite her weaknesses! I can't imagine all she went through, battling a darkness inside and still crushing on the grump that was Big Daddy D! 

Derek & Indy are the perfection that is grumpy/shine tropes. She was the singsong sunshine to his emotional grump, and watching them together was absolutely a delight! I adored how Derek was with Indy, helping her, being patient with her disability. These two battled so much internally and my heart squeezed so many times as they brought out the best in each other! 

𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 narrations for Derek completely and utterly destroyed my heart in the best way possible. The way he gave his whole self to the emotional moments for Derek....no one does raw emotions better than 𝐽𝑜𝑒! 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑘'𝑠 beautiful, melodic voice was a perfect match to 𝐽𝑜𝑒'𝑠! She nailed bringing Indiana to life and I loved every minute of listening to her! 

I will tell you this: run, don't walk, and grab up the 𝗛𝗲𝗹'𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, but especially this one. You will absolutely devour and fall in love with them! Derek is mine, just FYI 😉. 

When it comes to mafia romance, I want the suspensefulness, the sexy characters, the push and pull, the banter. 𝙻𝚞𝚗𝚊 𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗, in my opinion, is the queen of blending those things in her books! I adored 𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆 so very much! 

Alexei has been one of my favorites through the series, so far. He has a comedic timing about him and it always lent the best to the stories! Now, we are getting to see his story unfold, see just why he has been so fascinated with his friend's sister, who happens to be his best friend,  and why these two were meant to be! 

Alexei is the epitome of protector. He will let nothing stand in his way when it comes to protecting Lara. And, when that side shows? Oh, how the swooning commences! He is seriously one of my all time favorite book boyfriends. Read it. You'll see.

Lara is a beautiful FMC. I loved the mental health rep 𝙻𝚞𝚗𝚜 𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 weaved into the story! Seeing Lara overcome her obstacles, watching her cross the line on her feelings for Alexei....it was *chef's kiss*! 

The narrators.....oh, the narrators. 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 did an absolutely phenomenal job with Alexei. He brought perfect comedic timing, utterly raw emotions and the best accent! There was no one else for the job of voicing Alexei! 𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝑅𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑎 matched that energy, breathing life into the Russian female who stole our hearts. She had the best accent! You could feel these two narrators 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 the characters and it was the best time! 

𝙻𝚞𝚗𝚊 𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 truly delivered with this one. Intense, full of spice, banter, twists and turns, this mafia romance story will have you 𝓬𝓻𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 more! Don't miss it!
