I enjoyed this female/female romance. I enjoyed hearing Annie's story and getting to glimpse at Grant and Darren's relationship as well. Being this is Annie's first female romance and being an introvert, I liked how the writer handled her anxieties and address them. I thought the relationship between Eve and Annie was great and both were likable characters.

Thank you @readforeverpub @hachetteaudio for a copy of this book. This was all the stars!! My heart was shredded to pieces and put back together. I loved Jason from HEAP but Daniel is now my new favorite book boyfriend!! The story made me laugh and cry and I was on a total emotional coaster.
I read this book has a lot of references to Disney and was worried it would be over top Disney and I was glad it wasn’t. It was a great way to give love to Disney without it being in your face.
I adore the Easter eggs dropped through the book!! I recommend reading the author’s note that provided insights that I totally missed.
The audiobook was narrated by my favorite narrators and they did an amazing job evoking all the emotions.

This was a sweet historical fiction of these women working with a book store. I wished I read The Jane Austen Society so I would have a better back story. I adore how strong these women were and how the story ended.

Thank you the author for a copy of The Friendship Pact. Jill Shalvis always delivers a romance with so much depth. Set in beautiful Lake Tahoe, this book is about the Tae and Rigg's romance, the mother/daughter relationship with Tae and April and Rigg's relationship to his brother Jake.
I love seeing all aspects of the books and seeing how these relationship all had ups and downs. I was hoping some of the characters from The Family you make would be in the book but they didn't make any appearance.

Robyn is at odds with her life and accepts her aunts invitation to stay with her in her mansion in Santa Barbara. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook and the family dynamics of Robyn's family that all soon all follows her to California.
I enjoyed the romance between Robyn and Mason and how Mason was so good with aunt Lilian. Robyn was a great mom and I was glad she stood her ground with Harlow who was so spoiled and entitled.

Thank you @williammorrowbooks for a copy of this book. Told in Hannah's POV and Laura's diary entry, this book leads you to why Hannah is obsessed with joining the Innocent Group and a particular case. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and the connections between Hannah and the case. I enjoyed the narration and I felt bad for Hannah for having such an unreliable mother. I enjoyed the twists and didn't see it coming.

Wow this was such a great debut from these authors. I love seeing how Blake and Kat learned to become friends/sisters. I love seeing their individual growth and how they dealt with the loss of a father in different ways. The romance part of the story was amazing!! I love both Noah and Henry and their story as well.
Thank you to the publisher a gifted copy.

I never thought I would read a true crime, let alone enjoy it. I enjoyed that this was a memoir and went into the career and personal life of Paul Holes. I enjoyed all the BTS of the different famous cases that happened in California and also the frustration he experience when working with other jurisdictions.
It was interesting to learn how how solved the Golden State Killer and how with the use of technological advances that this became solved

Thank you @avonbooks for a copy of American Royalty which is reminds of Megan Markle and Prince Harry's story.
The book started a little slow for me with backstory of Dani and Jameson. Once they met and their chemistry was on the charts. You feel for both of them as they deal with the public perception of them individually and how they can't be themselves. I thought they portrayed the royal family in a really bad light and glad Jamison's mother was not like that.
This is one steamy fun story that I enjoyed.

A great debut book from the author. This book's premise is about fake dating in Hollywood to boost both Grey and Ethan's career. This book is romance with heavy topics such a dealing with grief and alcoholism.
I enjoyed seeing both of their individual journey and growth in the story and love their chemistry.
