Thank you @prhaudio for this audiobook. 

This was such a fun debut novel. Read this if you are a fan of: second chances, rom-com with opposites attracts. Molly and Seth reconnects during their class reunion. 

The dual POV narrated by Christine Lakin and Tim Paige brought the story to life. The writing was witty and I always appreciate characters that are flawed and seeing their growth journey.
slow-paced

Thank you @prnaudio for a copy of this book. I was intrigued when this was compared to as Colleen Hoover. 

This is a story about starting over, healing and finding love. I found the story a bit slow and the twists wasn't much of a twist. 

Gemma Whelan and Jared Zeus did a good job on the narration.

Nora Roberts does romantic suspense so well. In Identity, Morgan moves back to her home town after a home invasion leaving her roommate dead. The story follows Morgan back to Vermont and she meets Miles. 

I love their romance and how the story unfolded. January LaVoy did a great job with the narration and kept me wanting to keep listening. 

Thank you @smpromance @macmillan.audio for a copy of the book.

This is in the same vein as Crazy Rich Asians set in Hawaii. There's opulence and Kwan does such a fun job describing the wealth of the people. The story is fun and a bit mysterious. Just a fun entertaining read.

These audiobook productions are so fun with all the special effects. The story line is fun with the idea of time travel and connecting with a cell phone. All the characters were lovable and just too fun.

A good continuation from the first book. Love the spice from this series.

Quick dark romance read. This series is recommend by so many that I had to give it a try. It ends in a cliff hanger which I am not a fan.

Amy Harmon writing is so good. This historical fiction is about Dani whose parents were murdered when she was 10 and was sent to live her aunt. The policeman that helped her that night is reconnected with her when she is an adult.

There is a story about the serial killer and the searching the killer and then there is the story between Michael and Dani. This was such a good story.

Dom and Alessandra's story got me. I appreciate a marriage in crisis story and seeing how they make their way back to each other. 

I loved the angsts and 🔥🔥 between them. I also love the friendships in the story.
