It's been a minute since I read a 𝚂𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚊 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚐 book, so diving into this audiobook was a refreshing time. She has a beautiful writing style that absolutely captivates you! With this book you get so many emotions and tropes. From small town, to second chances, this story will sweep you off your feet! 

Callie & Lewis. Such beautiful characters! I loved their journey. Once childhood friends, then a couple, then went their separate ways......only to find their way back together years later. Oh what a rollercoaster of emotions I had following them! I couldn't get enough. 

Added to their story was the perfect amount of spice. I swooned hard for Lewis so many times, it's a wonder I'm still on my feet! Throw in a bit of suspense, an unexpected surprise, and you'll be wanting to jump on a plane, head to Scotland and see if you can find this couple in real life! 

𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑒 𝐸𝑎𝑠𝑡.....oh my! That man does an amazing job no matter what character he voices and voicing Lewis truly gave him life! All of the emotions are felt through this smooth voice. 𝑍𝑎𝑟𝑎 𝐻𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑛-𝐵𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑛 is a narrator I've listened to a handful of times but each one is masterfully done. She breathed life into Callie and had me completely engulfed with her voice. 

Once again, 𝚂𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚊 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚐 has done a beautiful job. Her story is filled with emotions, beautifully chiseled characters and whopper of plot line that you don't want to miss! Can't wait for more! 

𝙿𝚒𝚙𝚙𝚊 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝 has done it again, folks! She has created a story filled with banter, fun loving characters, and plot line that captivates you! Addie and Duncan are former friends(who had epic benefits!) and I was there for their story! 

Seeing Addie stuck in a dress in the beginning of this story, nailed it down for me that this was gonna be one laugh out loud, ride. I was not disappointed! From the moment Duncan reenters the picture, their story was a hit. I loved how he was with her and her insecurities. He was so patient with her, something I found in my own husband many moons ago when I also had fears and he patiently persisted with me. Duncan fell hard for Addie, and what a time it was watching him! 

The chemistry between them is off the charts! The sparks definitely flew through out their story and when they finally let those sparks catch, it was spicy, it was fun, it was hawt! 

This book is one I'll be returning to. We get the humor, we get the found family, we get the slow burn.....we get it all, wrapped up in the beautiful writing style that is 𝙿𝚒𝚙𝚙𝚊 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝. I am so glad I read this one and can't wait for more! 

𝙰𝚍𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚊 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎 has created another hit with this one! She has chiseled her characters beautifully and brought a beautiful second chance romance story to us. I absolutely enjoyed getting to see Laina and Luke's story unfold. 

Laina. Bless her. She was a runaway bride, a famous pop star, and can only think of one person to go to. Luke is the small town farrier, hot as the dickens, and Laina's former sweetheart. 

When these two meet back up, their chemistry is absolutely off the charts. The way the banter, the way their love for each shows in so many ways.....it was all a delight to see unfold! 

𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑 did a fantastic job lending his voice to being Luke to life! I loved listening to him! And 𝑆ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑜ℎ 𝐽𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 breathed life into Laina, giving her all the emotions and feels! Her voice blended beautifully with 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒'𝑠 and truly made the story pop! 

If you love a captivating spicy, small town, childhood sweethearts, runaway bride, second chance romance, then you absolutely need to pick this one up. 𝙰𝚍𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚊 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎 is one of my favorites and she weaved a beautiful story! 

What a ride! This book had me hooked from the first moment Tuc enters the picture to the very last word is read. It was a romantic thriller that took me on a rollercoaster ride! 

Tuc & Leda are beautifully chiseled. I loved seeing Leda overcome her fears. The protectiveness that was in Tuc was beautifully captured, while the sassiness that was Leda was awesome. The banter was great between them & the chemistry between these characters was outstanding! 

Now, let's talk about Ben. Man! What an epically chiseled character! He was creepy, he was unhinged, he was fabulous! 

𝑆𝑒𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑌𝑜𝑟𝑘 nailed it as Tuc. The growliness of his voice was amazing and allowed me to get deep inside the head of Tuc, feeling like I was able to stand directly beside him on this journey! 𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙 is the Queen! She absolutely did a phenomenal job at bringing Leda to life. You could feel the fear of Leda's past haunting her as 𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑒 jumped into Leda's story. Now let's talk 𝐽𝑜𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛. He voiced Ben, and what a masterful job he did! He somehow 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 Ben, filling the space with the creepy, unhinged factors needed to portray mastermind that was Ben. It was outstanding! 

𝙹.𝚁. 𝚃𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 has just gained a fan in me! I love my romance novels, I love my thriller novels, so to get the best of both worlds in one fabulous book? It's awesome! I even enjoyed the third person POVs of this story, something I'm not usually a fan of. Can't wait for more from this author! 

The spice is spicing with this one!𝙹𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝙳𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚗 is a new to me author and I am so happy that I got to listen to this one! It was a roller coaster ride that left me wanting more from this author! 

Auburn & Gianna are my new favorite couple! He is the grumpy to her sunshine. He is her dad's boss, she is a sassy, strong willed woman. Together these two have chemistry. The sparks fly, the banter is on, the praises from Auburn to Gianna are perfect! 

I love the age gap trope so much and this fit that bill perfectly! The spice scenes are beautifully chiseled and left me drooling on more than one occasion! The way that Gianna tried so hard to hate Auburn, all while he was being the protective cinnamon roll becoming obsessed with her. It was just what my heart needed! 

𝐽𝐹 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔.....that man is an amazing narrator. I absolutely love his voice and the way he brought Daddy Auburn to life??? It was beautifully done and absolutely had me melting. 🫠 𝐸𝑚𝑚𝑎 𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟 is one of my top female narrators so it was a delight to hear her bring Gianna to life. Her voice is smooth and truly captured the sass that was Gianna! 

This book had so many of my favorite tropes rolled into one amazingly chiseled book. I couldn't get enough of falling in love with these characters. It's a beautiful, spicy love story that will have you laughing at times, swoon at so many scenes and leave you breathless! I can not wait to listen to the next book in this series. 

*𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬*

Holy zoo dates & kitchen counters! 𝚂𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚒𝚍 has done it again folks! She has created yet 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 sinfully addictive novel! This is the start of a brand new series, and I am here for it! 

Nathan & Melanie. Oh how these characters pulled me into the center of their world and didn't let me do! We met Nathan James in 𝚂𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎'𝚜 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑔𝑜 𝑅𝑢𝑡ℎ𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠, where I fell for him then. Now, I'm loving seeing his story play out with Melanie. 

Their relationship is an arranged one, but what ensued after they started getting to know each was a whole lot more than just a simple arrangement. It's a flirty, banter filled one, with a dirty talking Nathan and a very sassy Melanie, who gives as good as she takes. 

This is definitely one that is going on my reread list. It has everything that makes a book perfect to me: drama, sexy men, witty women, laugh out loud scenes, intense chemistry between the characters, and the perfect amount of spice to keep me drooling. 

If you love a masterfully chiseled book that comes from the hands of a seasoned author, you won't want to miss this one. 𝚂𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚒𝚍 will absolutely captivate you with her men, the women they fall hard and fast for and leave you breathlessly panting for the next one! Move over, Max DiMarco, Nathan James is IN THE HOUSE! Well done, 𝚂𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚒𝚍! Well done! 👏🏼

𝘼𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙤 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬:
Y'all. The book was amazing when I read it, but this audio??!! This audiobook is absolutely stunning! 𝚂𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚒𝚍'𝚜 characters came to life! 

The way 𝐴𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑛 𝑆ℎ𝑒𝑑𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑘 lent his voice to Nathan James was masterfully done. He fed all the emotions to Nathan and absolutely had me drooling for Nathan! 

𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑎 𝑊𝑜𝑙𝑓𝑒'𝑠 voice flowed beautifully. She put her whole self into Melanie Edison's character and I felt like I was listening to a friend tell their story! 

These two voices blended together beautifully and truly did an epic job on bringing this story to life for me! 

Well done! 

Wild! That's how I describe this novel from this talented new to me author. It's a RH with a SOA feel! I loved this wild ride of ups and downs following these characters. 

Angel is a sassy heroine! I loved her from the start. Her dynamic with her four guys is great. The way she handles them when they disappear without a word.....I was there for it! She wasn't afraid to let them know her feelings on the matter. 

Lucky, Jaxon, Royal & Dante. Oh what yummy characters they were! I loved how they were with Angel. I loved how some groveling had to be done to prove themselves to her after they "disappeared". Their protectiveness of Angel was spot on! Each had their own nickname for her and it made me swoon each and every time! 

Let's talk about Gabe. I had a love/hate relationship with him. But, the way the author chiseled him, he ended up being just what the story needed to give it the wild ride it was!

𝐽𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑔 & 𝑂𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 are both new to me as narrators. They did a fantastic job! Their voices flowed naturally and beautifully, truly breathing life into these characters. I can't wait to listen to more of their works! 

Chiseled with intensity, this story brings you great characters, banter, twists and spice! I gotta say though, it ends on a bit of a cliffy and I can't wait to dive into book 2! 

Take me to Fork Lick, NY please! Wow! I absolutely adored this small town romance and didn't want it to end! 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚢 has quickly become one of my favorite authors and I will read/listen to anything she dishes out for us. This one completely consumed me, with beautiful chiseled characters and plot line! 

I love a good one night stand story. I love a good rivals to lovers story. I love a good grumpy/sunshine story. To have 𝙖𝙡𝙡 of that (and more!) rolled into one? It was a delight! 

I loved getting to fall in love with Sam & Diane. Their story is fun, full of banter, spice & angsty moments. It all rolled up into a beautiful story that kept me hooked and wanting more. To see them go from rivals to friends to lovers, was a beautiful transition! 

The descriptive way 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚢 describes Fork Lick, NY and Sam's family was awesome. I felt like I could truly picture myself right there in the middle of this awesome family. From the pets (Gomer and Baabara!) to Grandma Bedd and all the siblings, it was just captivating! I was there, in the middle, falling in love with everything about Fork Lick, with the chemistry between Sam & Diane being off the charts to the laugh out loud moments! 

I am very much looking forward to going back to the beginning and diving  into book 1 of this series, and for the next one! Well done, 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚢, on another captivating story of family & what means to belong!

I read a lot of dark romance, a lot of super spicy contemporary romances, and I just have to say! This Romantasy was a refreshing distraction from those for a time. 𝙷𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚊𝚑 𝙻𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚗 has a great talent and really captured me with her characters & story line. 

I enjoyed the story line for this one because introduces an aspect of the human world knowing about the Fae. I enjoyed how Avery is a chosen human who has the ability to Heal. When she travels to through the veil to the Fae world, she meets the best cinnamon roll Hero, Riel. 

The interactions between them are so swoonworthy! The sparks of attraction are evident when they are together, slow building to a burn of yearning between them! The banter between the characters is fun and I found myself chuckling as I listened to their story unfold. 

𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑘 is a new to me narrator and she was talented! Her voice was smooth and she did a wonderful job with the voices of each character. I am adding her to my list of must listen narrators! 

Add into the world of fae and fun, tensions between the Fae & Human worlds & the perfect amount of spice, and this was a quick, captivating read! I am very much looking forward to more in this series.

First, I urge you to check any trigger warnings. This book is heavy. It is angsty. It is emotional. But, it is absolutely amazing. This is my first 𝙻𝚞𝚗𝚊 𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 novel & it will not be my last.
‌
I absolutely loved Jax. His pain throughout the story was beautifully written, and I felt all his anguish as my own. I felt every single thing. I adored how he was with Sofia. He craved her. He allowed her into his heart & I loved that she filled the void for him that his best friend left behind! He has definitely become a number one book boyfriend for me!
‌
Sofia. Oh, Sofia. She meets her "brother in law" in the beginning of the story, and what entails after is a roller coaster ride of ups & downs, a secret, and lots of emotional moments! She was beautifully chiseled into a character that I fell hard for. The way she carried herself, the turmoil she went through, the way she was with Jax.....it was all captivating to me!
‌
𝑆𝑒𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑌𝑜𝑟𝑘.....he voiced Jax and was the perfect choice! He brought out the growliness of Jax's rough side, he incorporated the pain of his struggles, he brought out the possessiveness that came with craving Sofia. He was the best narrator for the job! My dear 𝐶𝐽 𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑚.....once again, she has nailed bringing a female character to life. Her voice is smooth and flows beautifully. She absolutely did a magnificent job with Sofia's character and I loved every moment of listening to her!
‌
Again, please check trigger warnings, but if you have none, I urge you to get this epic listen. It will twist your soul and make you crave more! I can't wait to get the next book in this series!
