Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov

Why must this series end!? I have absolutely loved getting to know the characters of Magnolia Falls. They have all warmed my heart, but this grumpy firefighter was absolutely the one to steal it forever! 

I adored getting to see Savannah & Hayes's story play out. These two were absolutely perfect for each. I loved that they had a history together! It made their banter that much more fun! I wasn't happy that it was Savannah that caused Hayes heartbreak, but when she comes back to town, needing a husband and reconnected with Hayes.....oh how she redeemed herself in my eyes. 

๐ด๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘– ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘ก was a great choice for Sav! She has a beautiful voice that flows and captures the listener. ๐ฟ๐‘’๐‘’ ๐‘†๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘ข๐‘’๐‘™๐‘ ....I've only listened to two other books with him as a narrator but I am so glad he was chosen to voice Hayes! He was perfection! He truly brought out the grumpiness of Hayes and all the Swoonworthy moments! 

From grumpy/sunshine, to small town firefighter, to found family, banter and marriage of convenience, ๐™ป๐šŠ๐šž๐š›๐šŠ ๐™ฟ๐šŠ๐šŸ๐š•๐š˜๐šŸ rounded out this series beautifully. It's bittersweet to see this series end, but I know she's going to throw her fans an epic story when she delivers her next one! 

If you love witty characters, small town vibes, great chemistry & sizzle, then grab this one up today and fall in love with the best grumpy firefighter and the Shortcake that stole his heart!

Holy spice, Batman! This one was absolutely & utterly addictive. From the start, ๐š€.๐™ฑ. ๐šƒ๐šข๐š•๐šŽ๐š› had me consumed by this story! 

Oh Wes, how you have stolen my heart! I absolutely loved this man! His adoration for Raegan was powerful and it showed in everything he did for her! He fell first, โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘“๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก.  And, his grumpy, bossiness for everyone but her??? *SWOON* 

Oh, but to be Raegan! Is it normal for a reader(listener) to be absolutely, insanely jealous of a FMC? Because I am! The way she had Wes's attention, it was chef's kiss! I adored everything about her! 

Now let's talk about the fun. This book was sizzling! The age gap, the forbiddeness of it, the intensity to which I felt every single tingle that Raegan felt when Wes was near......YES PLEASE! ๐š€.๐™ฑ. ๐šƒ๐šข๐š•๐šŽ๐š› delivered!!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

๐‘‰๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž ๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘ฆ๐‘’๐‘› & ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘’ teamed up for this duet. They were absolute perfection together! ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› was all in with delivering Wes to us. ๐‘‰๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž had a smooth, captivating voice that brought Raegan to life. Together, these two narrators brought Wes & Raegan's story to life in the best way! 

So, it's safe to say that I'm a forever fan of ๐š€.๐™ฑ. ๐šƒ๐šข๐š•๐šŽ๐š›. Her characters are masterfully chiseled, her story line is captivating and her spice levels are divine! I absolutely can not wait to listen to her back titles, and devour future reads/listens!

After reading/listening to ๐‘ผ๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“ ๐’€๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐‘บ๐’„๐’‚๐’“๐’”, I absolutely could not wait to get my greedy hands on ๐‘ซ๐’†๐’๐’Š๐’๐’‚๐’‰. I knew the moment I did, my heart was going to be twisted up and squeezed and plopped back down in the most soul crushing, emotional of ways. And, I was right.

I literally had waterworks flowing throughout this entire story. I felt every single emotion I did in ๐‘ผ๐’€๐‘บ, and I was ok....but I wasn't.....but I was. Caroline's journey....I want so bad to tell you all about it but if I do, I will spoil it! The way I needed this closure.....it was epically torturous in the best way!

Coupled in duet style with ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘›'๐‘  incredibly talented voice, the power that is felt between them is indescribable. These two humans lent their talents to the characters and truly transformed the experience into a masterpiece.

I get so excited when I get to read/listen to books from new to me authors. ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐‘จ ๐‘พ๐’Š๐’๐’…๐’‡๐’Š๐’“๐’† is one of those books and let me tell you what. I was hooked! The prologue captured me and the ending left me wanting another amazing story! 

Holy wow! August & Patrick were life! Like from the start, Patrick stole my heart with his sweet but broken little boy self. And the man he turned into?? ๐Ÿซ  Yes please! Watching him with August...it was a wonderful time! Their chemistry is off the charts!

๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› & ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘  did a phenomenal job with this dual narration. They put their whole selves into these characters and truly brought them to life! I felt more like I was listening to friends tell their story. 

๐™ป๐šŠ๐šข๐š•๐šŠ ๐™ป๐š˜๐šŒ๐š‘๐š›๐šŠ๐š— is going on my favs list. Her story was definitely a wildfire coupled with amazing spice & great LGBTQ+ rep! Can't wait for more from her!

We are back in the world of ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น'๐˜€ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ธ, folks. And, I will tell you this. Do. Not. Miss. It. ๐™ณ๐™น ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š› gives us Ash & Sunday's story, and just like with Fox & Atlas, you're going to fall head over heels for Ash! 

Oh Ash. My heart melted for him! He has issues from past experiences and struggles mentally, but when he meets Sunday....he falls. And falls ๐™๐™–๐™ง๐™™. I adored the way he was with both Sunday and her son. I couldn't get enough of him being so sweet to them! 

Sunday is a single mom with health issues, and oh what fun she was. I adored her and her son, Wade. And, when she had to move in with Ash, be his "fake" girlfriend to his mom's wedding......it was a delight to listen to. The chemistry between her and Ash is undeniable and strong. 

The banter between these two was off the charts and I was so glad I was there for it! I adored the nicknames!  The spice was perfection. And, let's not forget the way Ash was with Sunday's son. Those two.....my heart melted! 

๐บ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘ฆ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘‚๐‘ค๐‘’๐‘›๐‘  & ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™๐‘Ž ๐ต๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘š did a magnificent job on voicing these characters. Their voices flowed beautifully together, making the emotional moments so real for me, the funny moments were so much more funny with their voices. They made this characters blossom to life in the best way! 

Complete with sinfully delicious tattoo artists, a pet chicken, and found family, ๐™ณ๐™น ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š› has once again knocked me to my knees with this one. I adored this book, I adore this series, and I know I'm going to fall just as hard for the next one! I can not wait!

Hold on to your bikes, friends, because this one was a wild ride! ๐™บ๐šŠ๐š๐šŽ ๐™ฒ๐š›๐šŽ๐š  is absolutely, 100% going on my must read again list. Her writing style was amazing and her characters absolutely took me on the ride of my life! 

I ๐™–๐™™๐™ค๐™ง๐™š๐™™ Rook. From the start, his character had me captured. I loved how he was with Regan when he first met her. A robbery at gun point turned meet cute in the best possible way! I swooned so hard! 

Regan, better know to Rook as Rebel, was a strong FMC and I was there for it. She gave as good as she got in the stalker department and it was a fun thing to watch unfold. 

The banter and the chemistry between Rook & Regan was fun and off the charts. I laughed so many times through their story! It was epic! 

๐‘†๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ . Whewee was he amazing! He had that rough, gravelly tone to voice Rook and gave him life in the best way! I could listen to him and never tire of it! ๐ฟ๐‘ข๐‘๐‘ฆ ๐‘…๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘  voicing Regan was a delight, as always. Ma'am, is there a character you ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ do beautifully? I don't think so because you once again brought it with her! Together, these narrators did a magnificent job! 

If you're a fan of darker romances, romcoms and sizzling hot moments, you need this one. It's stalker to lovers, touch and her and regret it vibes that you don't want to miss. If you loved ๐‘ฉ๐’–๐’•๐’„๐’‰๐’†๐’“ & ๐‘ฉ๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’Œ๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’“๐’…, or ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’•๐’” ๐‘ถ๐’–๐’•, you'll love this one! Can't wait for book 2 in this series!

Small towns & fake engagements are my jam, cause I absolutely enjoyed listening to this one from ๐™ฟ๐š’๐š™๐š™๐šŠ ๐™ถ๐š›๐šŠ๐š—๐š. I loved the town of Tinsel since Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. Throw in a little fueding between two families and this story hit all the feels! Hallmark movie material for sure! 

Dane & Amanda quickly between of my favorite characters. They wanted to end the fueding. Amanda decides the way to end is none other than a fake engagement and the fun was on from there! Watching Dane fall hard and fast for Amanda (no feat there since she was his long time crush!) was swoon worthiness at its finest! 

๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘  really brought his trademark epicness to the story as he breathed life into Dane. Listening as he became Dane, bantering with Amanda, was so fun! ๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘š'๐‘  melodic voice lent the perfect contrast to ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ '๐‘ , and truly made Amanda come to life in the best way! A perfect narrator combo! 

So, now that I told you a bit about why I enjoyed it, let me tell you my absolute ๐™›๐™–๐™ซ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™š part of the story. Chili. He was Dane's sweet pupster and he lent the perfect comedic bits in this story, especially when you get to the very end. I won't tell you what I'm talking about right now. I will tell you to grab this one up and see for yourself just why I fell hard for these characters, the town of Tinsel and this entire story!

My friends, ๐™บ๐šŠ๐šข๐š•๐šŽ๐šข ๐™ป๐š˜๐š›๐š’๐š—๐š & ๐™ฒ๐š˜๐š—๐š—๐š˜๐š› ๐™ฒ๐š›๐šŠ๐š’๐šœ have done it once again! They brought us another fun, quick holiday story just in time for spooky season! And, let me tell you. It's one you'll want to grab up today! Billy Boston finally gets his story!!!

Billy quickly became a new favorite book boyfriend for me! I love his cockiness. He was so fun! And his nurse neighbor Donna is just as sassy and fun as he is. They have a no strings attached agreement and it's so fun watching them together! 

The chemistry between Billy and Donna is undeniable. When Billy offers an "I know a guy" offer to help Donna fix up her farmhouse, the fun really begins. From spooky, ghostly happenings to role playing and handcuffs, this story is perfectly chiseled by the hands of two of my favorite author collabs! I couldn't get enough! 

This is the perfect spooky romcom to read this Halloween season. From start to finish you'll find yourself chuckling, fanning yourself and wanting to be right in the center of the fun between Billy & Donna. 

If you've never read a ๐™บ๐šŠ๐šข๐š•๐šŽ๐šข/๐™ฒ๐š˜๐š—๐š—๐š˜๐š› collaboration story, grab this one. You'll fall head over heels for these quirky, fun characters and the banter and spice between them! Can't wait for the next one!

Hello, Dr. Fritz! I am in need of some emergent attention! ๐Ÿคฃ Wowzers. ๐™น. ๐š‚๐šŠ๐š–๐šŠ๐š— has absolutely enthralled me with this one! From the start, Stone had me captured and I am not complaining! 

I adored Stone & Tinsley. Their connection & chemistry was absolutely undeniable. They both had some obstacles to overcome in their careers, and time on the water is just what they need. Their feelings, though? Well, since he's her ex's brother, they should be forbidden. Their infatuation quickly ensues to more and there is no stopping it. 

๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘’ has once again brought his signature growliness and captured the very essence of Stone. I was giddy while I listened to him bring the doctor to life! ๐ด๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘– ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘ก has a beautiful knack for voicing sassy, upbeat heroines and she absolutely did a phenomenal job with Tinsley. Her voice flowed beautifully and matched ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘’'๐‘  epically! 

This book has it all: banter, flirting, the push and pull of a grump & his sunshine, the spice(oh how the spice is definitely spicing in this one!), the side characters that lend character to the story. It's beautifully written and leaves me needing more form this talented author! I can not wait to read/listen to more of J. Saman. I am a forever fan!

This anthology is a keeper! It's beautifully chiseled and gives us glimpses of some of our favorite ๐š‚๐šŠ๐š๐š’๐šŽ characters and what they are up to after their HEA. I'm hard pressed to tell you just ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฉ story is my favorite of these. If I had to pick just one of them.....it's gonna be ๐‘จ ๐‘น๐’š๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฏ๐’‚๐’๐’๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’.
