Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of this book. 

After reading Part of Your World, I needed Bri's story. There's so much to love about this story, from Bri learning to trust and love again to Jacob with his anxieties. There not so cute meet cute was everything and I love seeing how their hate turned to a friendship. 

The letters were so special, I was waiting impatiently for their communication. Abby always does a great job adding humor even with heavier topics and she does a phenomenal job in this story. 

Be sure to read the author's note on this one.

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this audiobook. I was intrigued by the premise of the story with a marriage in crisis. I enjoyed the dual narration and they brought the couple to life. I liked that this story was real that sometimes, a marriage will have downs without someone cheating. I am not sure what about the story but I found I wasn't too vested in Eliza and Graham's love story. It felt odd to me to play off being strangers on their anniversary weekend. I enjoyed the humor brought in by David who they meet at the hotel.

Thank you @macmillan.audio @forgereads for a copy of this audiobook. This story starts with Alyssa's husband leaving her and she befriends Bree at a run down bar. I thought it was odd how quickly Alyssa attached herself to Bree and her turn or events. The story gets more interesting with  each chapter and I wanted to see how it played out. The ending was a bit crazy but made it entertaining. I enjoyed the narration and pacing of the story.

Thank you @readforeverpub for this book. I was intrigued by the premise of this story of Ana who is a producer of a marriage proposal reality show. The book was entertaining but I felt both Gia and Ana were way too immature and didn't agree with their behavior.  I was expecting more romance but this book was more women's fiction.  I was a bit annoyed with Ana's list and how she thought she can create a perfect boyfriend.

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this audiobook. This was an interesting premise about the death of 2 woman in a small town that are 10 years apart. The story is told through Maya's POV with both past and present timeline and how they till together through her former boyfriend, Frank. 

I really enjoy the idea of mind manipulation and how it can potentially lead you to do things you don't want to do.

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of this book. I have enjoyed this small town romance and enjoyed this story of Tess, a young widow, who is still grieving for her husband. The relationship between River and Tess starts off contentious and I love how they helped each other. Their moments are tender and River is amazing. I hurt for Tess as she learns of her deceased husband and thought she handled the shock so well. I liked seeing the other characters from the precious books appear in this story.

I have been waiting for Daisy and Ryke's story since I started with Loren and Lily's story. They have always had an attraction with an attraction that could not be act on with Daisy being under age. I have always love how protective Ryke was of her and how they developed a relationship. 

I also enjoyed seeing Ryke handle his relationship with his parents in this story.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. Emma Lord always does a great job with YA romance. I love her balance of coming of age and romance. Starting college is never easy and I enjoyed how Andie found her tribe at the same time herself. Her friendships with the characters added depth to the story. Andie was a bit goody for me and I enjoyed seeing her growth.

I liked the premise of this office romance which is set at Disneyland like theme park. The texts were a lot of fun but I didn't really care of the tug and pull of their work relationship before they got together. Once they got together, I liked the story a lot more. The side characters added a lot of fun to the story and I enjoyed the dual POV.

Thank you @smpromance for a copy of this book. 

I have been enjoying Daria's book and it's fun to read her debut book republished. A book based on reality tv with opposite attract is Alexis a city gap and Stone, who lives remotely in Alaska with his family. 

I love their connection and how determined Stone was to make sure he was a great dancing partner. I love how each week, the dances sounds so sexy and connected them so much. 

It was a fun nod to Dancing with the starts and made me want to learn to dance.
