This was a great mystery that explores the dark world of counterfeit of luxury handbags. As a handbag fan, the premise caught my attention. The narration was perfect with the POV of Ava an attorney going through a tough time at home with a workaholic surgeon and a difficult child. I enjoyed the flash back of how Winnie came back into her life and lured her into the counterfeit ring.

Thank you @libro.fm for a copy of the audiobook.

I love this series and this one was my least favorite of the 3. This was a fun semi- office romance with a small age gap. I enjoyed seeing their friendship grow and turned to friends to benefits. I liked all of their moments that developed their friendship. I was hoping to see the previous characters play a bigger role in this book and Eliza did in the other books.

I loved how messy and real life Tristan and Claire's love story is. An unlikely pairing of a widowed mother of 3 and a single hot player. I love all the steamy parts as well as Tristan's process of ingraining himself into Claire's family. 

The 3 kids stole the show. I love how they were so different and how they treated Tristan which felt so real. As much as I hate lack of communication as the friction of the story, I thought it was so appropriate for this story. 

The narration was so well done and I was so vested in the story.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. I always enjoy a book about cooking and this was an enjoyable queer romance. I liked the interactions between Amy and Sophie and the dynamics of chef and owner. I struggled through parts of the book and wasn't 100% vested in their characters. Nothing that I can pin point but just didn't give me all the vibes.

This was a perfect summer read. I always enjoy a family drama with secrets. I liked how the connection was played out and revealed between Louisa and Kristie. 
The kids were so adorable in the story and added a light fun element to the story. I enjoyed seeing the different relationships portrayed in the book from new love to marital problems.

Thank you @williammorrow for a copy of this book.

This book was about how Lily dealt with not having Loren around and how to handle her sex addiction. 

The story was a little slow but I did enjoy seeing how Lily tried to cope with her addiction. This almost felt like a filler book.

This was a sweet friends to lovers romance between Lizzy and Jack. I love that it was Jack that was pinning for Lizzy since he was 10. I wished we got to see more of their younger days to see why Jack loved Lizzy so much. 

I enjoyed the slow burn and Jack was just the sweetest. I enjoying seeing their individual journey to do what makes them happy and how that created the rift and how it turned out. 

That narration was good but at parts a bit monotone for me. 

Thank you @smpromance @netgalley for ALC. 

This was a great read about college friendships and as they continue their friendship years later.  Told from Liv's perspective who always felt she had to be perfect and seeking stability with a good job and image of a perfect life. 
I enjoyed the tension created between Liv and Deiss on the safari and beyond. I really enjoyed all the fun supporting characters, especially Deiss employees. 

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of the audiobook. I am not a big fan of unreliable characters, especially when it's a female drunk. I thought the build up of the story was a little slow and was curious how this would go. The action and twists does not come till more than 1/2 way through the book. I will say it was worth the wait and I did not see any of it coming. 

The narration seemed mismatched as Casey. Her voice sounded a lot older than I imagined Casey to be. Be patient with this one and stick with it.

This book was so intense from the first chapter. In 1989, I was the same age as Cristian and living a care free life and did not know this happened in Romania. 

The story broke my heart for Cristian and how he was tricked into being a snitch. I can't imagine living a life that you can't even trust your own family and always so fearful of your actions. 

The narration did such a great job bringing Cristian to life.
