I loved it! Another great Nantucket read. I had to read it before I watched the movie. I can’t wait to see how it was re-told.

Such a great series! I really enjoyed this one. I listened to the audiobooks and this narrator was so amazing. She is so talented. I felt so much emotion of each character through her voice. I honestly don’t know which book of the three is my favorite. So well done and unique.

Holy Moly did this book take me on a ride. I felt all of the emotions with this book The characters, story line and plot were so good! This is a 5 STAR story that I will not forget. I don't think I have ever been so mad at a character but understanding at the same time. The character development was so good that I wanted to literally hug them, smack them, and cheer them on haha. I think a lot of Gen X women with adult children can find something to relate to in this book. Honestly any woman that has had struggles with relationships or grief can relate. I was so good and I can't wait to read more from D. J. Aubuchon.

This was an easy 5 star read. It was dark and twisty in all the best ways. I don’t read a ton of thrillers and this one was just right. Not to scary not to mild. There were some crazy twists that I didn’t see coming and some that we knew were coming but were still built on other twists. So amazing didn’t want to stop listening. The audio for this book was too tier. Not only the narrators but the little bits of noises sprinkled in. It almost felt borderline graphic novel at times without being annoying. So good! Well done!

I originally started listening to this and had to stop (mood lol). I am so glad I picked it back up because I enjoyed it a lot more the second time I tried it. This book will literally take you for a ride. It is funny, sexy, sad and of course gives us a great HEA. I loved the authors sense of humor throughout the book and would love to read more rom-com type books from them.

This entire book felt like a fever dream. I kept thinking ok she is going to wake up anytime now. It was entertaining and I really felt her love for both Grim and Oro. I am intrigued enough to continue the series.

This was a cute quick holiday book that I listened to on audio. There was a little bit of magical realism mixed with friends to lovers. It was the perfect little holiday romance.

OK this was my re-read of Iron flame and the graphic audio did not disappoint. I love an audio-book with a full cast of characters so I am not surprised that i loved Graphic audio. But add in the dragons GROWLING.....yes please!!! I loved it. I enjoyed my re-read even more than the first time I read it. I was pretty annoyed with Violet the first time I read it and this time not so much lol. I don't know ifit was the way the voice actor portrayed her or what. But I had more sympathy for her and could understand why she was so frustrated. Over all amazing 5 star read.

Amazing re-read. I listened to the graphic audio this time and it flew by. I held on to every word. I was super impressed with it. I want every book to be a graphic audio book.
