A dark telling of Peter Pan!? Yes please, sign me up! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Growing up, ๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ฏ was one of my all time favorite stories, so I'm thrilled to have gotten to listen to this one! 

Evelyn Montgomery has just made me fall in love with the story of Peter & Wendy all over again, in the best, darkest way possible. I won't soon forget this one. 

I absolutely loved the intensity in which ๐™ด๐šŸ๐šŽ๐š•๐šข๐š— ๐™ผ๐š˜๐š—๐š๐š๐š˜๐š–๐šŽ๐š›๐šข created this story. She told us Wendy & Peter's journey between time periods, and the ride we went on with this one was thrilling. The interactions between Wendy & Peter, Hook, Tink and all of the characters was truly captivating. Seeing what happened to Peter & Neverland when Wendy left, seeing what happens when she returns....all of it was a twisty journey that I didn't want to miss! 

The chemistry between Wendy and Peter was undeniable. Their love was instense and wild, the spice hitting absolutely perfectly! This one truly had me on the edge as I sat reading/listening. 

๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ฅ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘€๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ voiced Wendy. She absolutely was the best choice, in my opinion. She brings the confusion, the fear, the love, beautifully & masterfully. Perfect for the job! ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› gives us his all with the dark side of romance. His Hook performance was indescribably perfect & his Peter....he captured the beauty of a powerful love and nailed it. ๐˜ฝ๐™ก๐™ช๐™š ๐™‰๐™ค๐™จ๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™ช๐™™๐™ž๐™ค & ๐™ด๐šŸ๐šŽ๐š•๐šข๐š— ๐™ผ๐š˜๐š—๐š๐š๐š˜๐š–๐šŽ๐š›๐šข truly picked to of the best in the biz for breathing life into these characters! 

To say I loved this story is an understatement. I did. I loved it hard. Each character, each moment, each bit of spice...I was absolutely entranced! I am beyond excited to see ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’๐’Œ come to life next!

She's at it again, folks! ๐š‚๐šŠ๐š–๐šŠ๐š—๐š๐š‘๐šŠ ๐™ฒ๐š‘๐šŠ๐šœ๐šŽ has created yet another captivating, fun romance that will sweep you off your feet & leave you hungering for more! 

I have adored all of ๐š‚๐šŠ๐š–๐šŠ๐š—๐š๐š‘๐šŠ ๐™ฒ๐š‘๐šŠ๐šœ๐šŽ'๐šœ books, but these Wylder's? They are something special! And Jax Wylder just may be my favorite one of them all! 

I adored Jax & Lucy's interactions. There was chemistry, there was a push and pull with the way they interacted, Lucy thinking Jax was to blame for a painful past & Jax trying to fix his image. It was fun to watch and I loved falling hard for these characters! 

It was so fun getting to see all of their family members, too! They lent a beautifully woven story some extra fun, especially Ty when he revealed the long buried secret. 

And, let's talk ๐ด๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘€๐‘๐น๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘›. She is a lovely narrated who put her whole self into the emotional rollercoaster of these characters' journey. Her voice flowed beautifully and kept me wholly engaged! A wonderful pick for a narrator! 

This is an unforgettable, small town, enemies to friends to lovers,  romance, written by skilled hands. Tou get the angst of a long held grudge, you get the tension of palpable chemistry, you get the banter of friends & family, you get just the right amount of spice between a couple that is beautiful together. The inclusion of children with disabilities getting to enjoy a summer camp tugged at my heart strings! 

I highly recommend you grab this one up! Sit back, grab that cup of coffee, and get ready for a masterfully told story that is ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™–๐™—๐™ก๐™ฎ captivating!

Samantha Brentmoor + Shane East!? YES PLEASE! 

This story was fun, light hearted, had me laughing out loud and just spicy enough to keep the fun going. I adored getting to know Violet and her Prince Of Darkness, Devlin. They were the cutest together! 

The way Samantha and Shane brought these two to life was epic! Perfection! The banter was awesome! 

Complete the story with a haunted vibrator and this story is a keeper! 

Can't wait for more Witches Of Wayward Bay fun!

Romantic suspense, yummy cowboys, and slow burning spice? Yes please! This is my first book by ๐™ณ๐šŠ๐š”๐š˜๐š๐šŠ ๐™ณ๐šŠ๐šŸ๐š’๐šŽ๐šœ and it definitely will not be my last. From beginning to end, I was drawn in, kept on a hook, and taken on a wild ride! 

Sophie & Zach are beautifully chiseled. The chemistry between them is absolutely undeniable. Listening to their story unfold, it made me feel like I was in Finn River, right along side of them. Zach is a wonderfully broken character who rescues Sophie......twice. When he sees her yet again.....he tries to keep her from the drama that is past. But, their pull to each is irresistible! 

Added to their romance, is a bundle of mysterious happenings and plot twists that will keep you guessing. It's beautifully chiseled and I couldn't get enough! 

๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก ๐ป๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘ก is a talented narrator who poured his whole self into Zach. Each emotion, each part of the character came to life as ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก read his story. ๐ฟ๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž ๐ป๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘ง is still a fairly new to me narrator (I've only listened to one or two others!) but it's evident she is a talent that is great at voicing the characters. Her voice blended beautifully with ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก'๐‘  as she gave Sophie a voice. Beautifully casted! 

If you like small town, western romances, edge of your seat suspense, angst, and undeniable attraction between characters, then you don't want to miss this one when it releases on September 26th! I can't wait to listen to the next one! I will definitely be checking out the backlist of books!

Oh my firefighter loving heart is so happy!!!! Y'all. ๐™ฒ๐š˜๐š›๐š’๐š—๐š—๐šŽ ๐™ผ๐š’๐šŒ๐š‘๐šŠ๐šŽ๐š•๐šœ has done it, ๐™–๐™œ๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ! ๐‘จ๐’๐’ ๐‘ป๐’๐’ ๐‘พ๐’†๐’๐’ checked all my favorite boxes and then some. When I am telling that ๐™ฒ๐™ผ will bring ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด no matter what she rights, please believe me. Her writing style is epic and never fails! 

Lachlan's character was my soulmate. Having experienced many stages of the grief that he felt, after losing my own mother, my heart was his for the duration of this story! It also doesn't hurt that he was a firefighter ๐Ÿ˜‰. I mean, my own husband and son are firefighters so they are special to me! And, the way he was with his daughter, Rose, and Ainsley when she returned? Absolute SWOON! 

Ainsley. Let's talk about her a second. She has been in love with Lachlan, her brother's best friend, all her life. After a failed kiss between them, she retreats to her journalist job. Four years later, she's back for a story on him and the chemistry, banter and fun are on! 

The narrator casting for this audiobook was perfection. ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘  brought the grumpiness to Lachlan masterfully, but also nailed all the emotional struggles that comes with being a single dad who is also grieving. ๐‘‰๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž ๐ธ๐‘‘๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘› brought the perfect sassiness to Ainsley's character. I absolutely loved her voice and it flowed beautifully! Together these two brought Lachlan, Ainsley, Rose and all the characters to life in the best way! 

If you love emotionally gripping stories, small towns, second chances, hot single dads, and the perfect amount of spice, don't miss this one. It's the start of a new series that will captivate you emotional and physically, and keep you wanting more. I can't wait for the next book!

This book, y'all. It absolutely blew me away. I mean, from the start, I was pulled into the story, by the characters, by the writing style. It all pulled me in and hooked me! 

Ivy & Wells. What a couple they made! He was a OTT possessive hero and what fun it was to watch him with Ivy. The way he praises her......SWOON!!!! 

But, not only do we get ๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฏ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐™ค๐™›๐™› ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™˜๐™๐™–๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™จ chemistry with these two, we get the suspense, the action that comes with dark Mafia books. ๐™ฑ๐š›๐šŠ๐š—๐š๐šข ๐™ท๐šข๐š—๐šŽ๐šœ did a phenomenal job with it! I couldn't get enough! 

And, can we talk about ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ , please? This is not my first book by him, but he's still newish to me and each book is amazing. He has that perfect, deep drawl that just pulls you in and he mastered bringing Wells to life! ๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘™๐‘–๐‘’ ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘  complimented his voice beautifully with hers and truly did an amazing job making me feel like I was listening to a friend tell their story, as she brought Ivy to life! Beautiful casting for sure! 

This is just book 1 in the ๐—ž๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ง ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ and I can not wait to dive into the next one. ๐™ฑ๐š›๐šŠ๐š—๐š๐šข ๐™ท๐šข๐š—๐šŽ๐šœ has a forever fan in me!

Book friends, they have done it again! 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 brought us another amazingly captivating story with characters I won't soon forget! 

I absolutely loved reading ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’Š๐’๐’๐’Š๐’๐’๐’‚๐’Š๐’“๐’† ๐‘ฐ๐’” ๐‘ฉ๐’‚๐’„๐’Œ, so to say I was anxiously awaiting this one is an understatement. I could ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ wait to see what these talented authors had in store for Damien and Vera. It was one heck of a rollercoaster ride for sure. 

The chemistry between these two is off the charts! I swooned so many times, it's not even funny. Damien is top tier book boyfriend material, and I'm not even mad about it. Vera, bless her. She didn't want to get hurt, but she just couldn't resist the rockstar she was forced to spend time with. 

The fact that they've known each other since they were teens, just added to the banter between them. I laughed so many times!!! And when they finally quit resisting the tension & pull they had to each.....well let's just say some fans came on for this reader to cool down! 

If you're a fan of only one bed, found families, and small towns, don't miss this one. It's easily read as a standalone but, you gotta read book 1 to see where Vera & Damien started. Once again, 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 chiseled the perfect romcom to have you laughing out loud!

Oh, my friends, you do not want to miss this sweet story! I absolutely fell head over heels in love with Emmett Noughton! ๐™ฟ๐š’๐š™๐šŽ๐š› ๐š๐šŠ๐šข๐š—๐šŽ has created a story that is heartwarming, sweet and oh so captivating! 

I loved all of these characters but my heart was stolen by Emmett! Bless him, he just wanted his family to take them seriously, and he tried so hard. But, then Briar Adams reentered the picture, complete with a little surprise, and all the fun began. 

๐™ฟ๐š’๐š™๐šŽ๐š› ๐š๐šŠ๐šข๐š—๐šŽ added beautiful moments of banter, chemistry and family dynamics to create an unforgettable story and I was there for it all. 

I absolutely loved that ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘’ was giving the life to Emmett. He has that drawl that just pulls you in, and his voices for all the male characters was spot on! ๐ด๐‘ฃ๐‘Ž ๐ธ๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘๐‘˜๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘›, as always, lends a beautiful voice to her characters and kept me captivated following Briar's side. Two beautifully casted narrators for the win! 

This could easily be a standalone but I highly recommend the previous two books in the story to get the full family dynamic. Well done, once again, ๐™ฟ๐š’๐š™๐šŽ๐š› ๐š๐šŠ๐šข๐š—๐šŽ, on creating another fun filled romance!

Wow! I have loved getting to know Pacey Lawes and Eli Hornsby, but Silas Taters??? Oh how Potato stole my heart with this one! 

I adored the fake relationship, miscommunication of this story. It was beautifully executed by the seasoned hands of Meghan Quinn. Falling for Taters was a wonderful experience! I adored Ollie. She matched his banter perfectly and was the best girl for him! 

Let's talk about ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜๐‘’ and how his voices are amazing. He brought the grumpy hockey player to life with his gravelly, deep voice and it was perfection! ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™๐‘Ž ๐ป๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ was a match for Ollie's sweet character. She made her truly shine! 

Don't miss out on this third installment of the Agitators series! I can't wait to dive into the next two!

๐‘จ๐’•๐’๐’‚๐’” is book 2 in the Hel's Ink series by ๐™ณ.๐™น. ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š›, and it was ๐™š๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™˜. Oh how my heart was happy for Atlas's story! He was the comedic friend of Fox in book 1 & it carries over to his book. Right from the start of this intense story, I was absolutely pulled in. 

Ren is the object of Atlas's affection from the start. I could feel the whirlwind of emotion instantly. It consumed Atlas. It consumed ๐™ข๐™š. The way he instantly took to protecting one of his best friends, Ren, was absolutely swoon worthy. Their chemistry was absolutely powerful & I loved every minute of it. 

I loved Ren. She is plus sized and diabetic & oh so sweet! I loved her for Atlas! The emotional struggles she went through with her weight & illness, were ones I could feel as my own. I wanted to hug her so many times! 

Atlas. Dear Atlas. He was the most boy obsessed, cinnamon roll character Iโ€™ve ever encountered & I was so in love with it! From the way he handled Andrew(I absolutely despise him!)to the way he melted for Ren, his crush on her, learning all there was to learn about her diabetesโ€ฆ..yes please! 

๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› as Atlas was perfection. There is no other narrator that could put these emotions into it & break this listener from the rawness of feeling unwanted, the love, the happiness. ๐ด๐‘›๐‘”๐‘’๐‘™๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘๐‘Ž is ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’'๐‘  female counterpart when it comes to amazing narrators. She brought it all out for Renโ€™s character & I loved every second. 

Once again, ๐™ณ.๐™น. ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š› has created a captivating story. She fills it with the perfect amount of spice, fun banter, marriage of charity, beautiful characters and delivers one of my favorite 2024 reads! I can not wait to listen/read to book 3 in this series!
