Thank you @putnambooks @prhaudio for a copy of this audiobook. 

I don't really read too many historical mysteries and I liked the setting of this in old glamour of Hollywood with the Chow sisters. 

I appreciate that each of the sister had a distinctive personality so I didn't get confused in the story. The sisters were so persistent with finding out the death of Lulu. The aspect of making it in Hollywood was also interesting. 

Jennie Kwan and Eunice Wong did a wonderful job with narration and kept me entertained and engaged.

This was a fun rom com with the perfect amount of banter and steam. Read this if you enjoy small town, forced proximity and best friend's sister. I love that grump sunshine and the frienemies to lovers in this story. 

The duet narration by Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan, made the story so fun.

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this book. 

Told in dual timeline with 1909 with Ollie and Nessa running away to runaway to escape their life and into the mountains of Oklahoma. The other time like is set in 1990 with Valerie, a park ranger that discovers a long ago burial site and starts investigating. 

Both of the timeline kept me interested. Ollie and Nessa was so resilient and met some other children along the way and helped each other. 

I appreciate how much research was done for the story and how Wingate tied the two timelines together. 

The story is told by Christine Lakin, Dan Bittner and Jenna Lamia and they all did a great job with the narration.

I know that Ali Hazelwood writes steamy romances but this on takes the cake! Rue and Eli are so good together. I love that Hazelwood always have women in STEM and that Rue is the grump in the story. As a sucker for forbidden romance, this was right up my alley. 

Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke did a such a great job with the narration and bringing out all the emotions.

Wendy Walker does domestic thrillers so well. These full production audiobooks is such an immersive experience with full casts of narrators and sound effects. 

The story kept me engaged and loved all the twists in the story.

As a sucker for books about books, this one was right up my alley. Emily leaves the states and moves to Ireland to help her idol author, write her final book. Emily meets Kieran, the author's son, and complications ensues. Kieran is a major grump and makes Emily's time in Ireland miserable until the walls starts breaking down. 

The story is well written and Brittany Pressley did a fantastic job with the narration.

This was a great small town second chance romance between Scarlett and Shane. The forced proximity with being neighbors made it a lot of fun.

Backman knows how to write charming characters. Britt- Marie is in need of a job after leaving her cheating husband. The employment agency sends her to the town of Borg to be a soccer coach to kids. 

The story centers around Britt-Marie starting over and how the town becomes her found family. Backman is such a great story teller. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of this book.

This was such a great emotional read. I was excited to get Sig's story after reading the first book. I didn't expect him to be a grump and he experienced such heartbreak. The idea of carrying on with brining a baby to life is such a tough decision. 

I loved how Abby helped Sig healed. They were so good together. The story is so beautiful and it made me laugh and cry. 

Always enjoy this series. This one had such creepy vibe.
