Thank you @libro.fm of the audiobook of The Golden Couple. Told in Avery (the therapist) and Marissa (the client), the story is about Avery fixing Marissa and Matthew. 

I loved how this story unfolded and you never know who you could trust. The narration was perfect and brought the story to life. The audio made this book so enjoyable.

This was such a fun fast paced page turner. The story is told in different POVs and how they are involved with the murders 15 years ago and the new murder. 

The chapters are short and so much happens in the book. I love how the story was brought together and kept me guessing. I can see this coming to a theater near you.

Thank you @prhaudio for this fun novella. I am usually not a big fan of short stories but I didn’t feel cheated with this. 

I love the forced proximity and slow burn in this story. I love how Liam and Mara connection and their pinning for each other. The only thing I wanted more of was more background on Liam. I wanted to know why he is they way he is. 

I also loved Mara and her friends. They were a hoot!

The narration was perfect and brought the characters to life.

Thank you @smpromance @netgalley for a copy of A Brush With Love. What a fun debut novel from Mazey and following her writing journey on IG. 

I love how the book dealt with mental health and the relationship between Harper and Dan. I love Harper’s friends and their fun dialog. The attraction and denial between Harper and Dan was amazing and their moment was hot!!

I enjoyed the narration with the exception of the male doing female voices. He sounded like an old lady which was a bit distracting but didn’t impact my enjoyment of the book.

Thank you @wednesdaybooks for this great Ya thriller. I loved the premise of the game and how Crystal has do complete tasks to save her sister. The story got me from the first page and love the quick pace of it. I love how Crystal has to do these tasks while trying to figure out who is behind these threats.

This was an amazing audiobook. It was told in 3 POVs and it caught My attention from the first scene. 

As a banker, the request for that cash was super unrealistic so that kind of distracted me. None the less, a great domestic thriller.

Thank you @grandcentralpub for a gifted copy. 

I really liked the premise of this book with the idea of a female programmer in a male dominated gaming industry. As much as some of the things were absurd, I can still some of this happening in a workplace. 

I listened to this and not sure how I feel about the narrator injection comments through out the story. It just felt a bit stalkerish and maybe that was the point of the story that everyone is watching you.

Thank you @berkleyromance for a copy of Holly Jolly Diwali. I always appreciate a romance that has more depth in the story and this one packs it all. This story is about expectations, familial duty and self discovery. I liked that both Niki and Sam were both at crossroads when they met. I love the slow burn and the connection they had. I enjoyed seeing the growth individually of Niki and Sam.

Thank you @avonbooks for a copy of Count Your Lucky Stars. I love this series and was excited to read Margot’s story. I love a good second chance story and love the chemistry between Margot and Olivia. I wished they didn’t get freaky so quickly together and rekindled their friendship a little more first. 
I love seeing all the characters from the previous story as well.
