This was such a great novella celebrating two holidays during a snow storm. Nessa and Jake was great together as strangers stranded at home during a snow storm. I love how they both shared their culture. 

For a short romances, of course there was insta love but I thought this was done well. 

The narration of Julia Whalen and Teddy Hamilton was perfection. 

One of the best meet cute and great way to start the book. Josie and Wesley are so fun together!! A forced proximity story with being roommates and getting to know each other. I adore the banter between the two. 

The duet narration of Erin Mallon and Connor Crais made the story so fun.

Meghan Quinn knows how to write books that make you laugh, tugs at the heart and give you all the feels. It was great to be back in Almond Bay and seeing characters I enjoyed previously in this series. 

Ryland and Gabby are so good together. If you love small town, forced proximity and great banter, don't sleep on this. Mac is such a sweet heart and love when a story shows the kid is very much part of the life. 

Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York did an amazing job bringing this story to life. 

Thank you to the author and @hambright_pr for a copy do this book.

This was such a beautiful book about grieving and moving forward and finding love. Davina is focused on her skin care company after losing her husband several years ago. She meets Deke who agrees to work on promoting her product. I love the slow burn of this story. 

Deke feels the instant connection. He gives Davina time and help her heal as they become better friends. I love that Davina was able to get to open up about his past as well. 

The story is so well told and narration by Aure Nash and Sean Bassett really brought the characters to life. 

This was my first book by this author and it won't be the last.

What a great twisty thriller. We have 2 main FMC, Jasmine and Stephanie who are connected by being on the same plane and both of them vanish. The story is told in multiple POV which added an interesting perspective. I love you really didn't know what was going on. 

There is a cast of narrators (Andrew Eiden; Dylan Fitzpatrick; Fred Berman; Gail Shalan; Hillary Huber; Jennifer Pickens; John Pirhalla; Kimberly M. Wetherell; Kirby Heyborne; Tim Campbell) and made for a full immersive experience. 

Thank you @stmartinspress @macmillan.audio @netgalley for a copy of this book. 

So bummed this series is coming to a close. This was a great friends to lovers story. I love the friendship between Veera and Deepaj and the fake marriage. There was fun and spice and depth to the story. 

I know this was a nod to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. I haven't read this play so I can't say it was close to the story or not.

Thank you @avonbooks @bibliolofestyle for a copy of this book.

The book started out strong with the camping and left stranded. Melody and Zac was good together but I felt they acted a bit immature to be in their 30s. The story dragged a bit for me with Melody's internal dialogue about her ex boyfriend. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of this. 

Another forbidden romance from Sara Cate and it's Goode brother!! We have Lucas who is a professor who helps out a student, Sadie, and rents out a room to her and she is pregnant. 

I love Lucas and Sadie together. Lots of great banter and steam. I fell in love with Lucas immediately but Sadie was a bit to fall for. I didn't get her continued obsession with the baby daddy.

The premise of the book sounded interesting but this was not for me. It was slow and left me uninterested in what happened.

Thank you @gallerybooks for a copy of this book. 

Holy smokes!! This was 🔥🔥🔥 and such a good book. We start off with Caleb and Briar who has been married and is struggling. Enter Dean, who is flirty and needs a place to stay. 

The relationships in this story is complex and forbidden and I could not stop listening to it. The Goode brothers series is so good. 

The 3 POV and narrations by Ava Erickson, Tim Paige, Aiden Snow, really brought the story to life.
