I just adore this series!! I was excited to get Sir Horley and Arabella's story after reading the first 2 books in the series. This can be read as a stand alone but I highly you read the first 2 to get the full characters experience.

These two are just so fun together. I love that Bella is outspoken and kidnaps Horley to elope and so much happens along the way. I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to their pairing and loved that Hall signature bi-sexuality characters came out in this story. 

Ell Potter and Steve West did a great job with brining all the characters to life. 

Thank you @brilliancepublishing for a copy of the audiobook.

This was such an interesting premise especially with the development of AI and robots. The story kept me interested and there was so many thought provoking themes.

This was a quick audio novella about Viola who is forced to work with Jesse on her favorite story. If you enjoy a bit of forced proximity and enemies to lovers this one may be for you. 

I am starting to feel like Hazelwoods are all starting to feel similar. I enjoyed it but it wasn't my favorite.

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

Key goes to Scotland to learn more about her dad's family with his passing. She meets Lachlan who is a grumpy farm hand that works with her family. 

I always appreciate that you just don't know what to expect from Ferguson's books and the twist was something I didn't see coming. 

I really enjoyed seeing Key's journey with getting to know her family and also Lachlan's situation and how to resolve it. 

The narration of Samantha Summers and Flint Park was perfection. I love the duet style and Flint's Scottish accent.

Thank you @prhaudio @berkleyromance for a copy of this book. 

I was prepared for an emotional read based the synopsis and it was. We have Maddie and Dom following the death of her brother and his best friend to visit places to spread his ashes. 

There is a lot of tension between them with their past history. I was frustrated with Maddie at times because she was so self centered and wanted to knock some sense into her. 

I enjoyed seeing their growth and healing process 

Karissa Vacker as always did a great job and brought out all the emotions.

I have a new favorite book boyfriend and his name is Wilder. This was a great holiday romance with Fable and Wilder who agrees to be fake dating to help each other out. 

They are so great together as they navigate their fake dating and developing real feelings. Wilder is so attentive and thoughtful that you just fall in love with him. 

I love the Christmas setting and all the fun shenanigans they get into. 

The full casts of narrators made the story come to life.

hank you @prhaudio @aaknopf for a copy of the book. 

Three friends get together for a getaway in the Hamptons and not what they bargain for. This story centers around a missing person and these ladies somehow being all tied to it. 

The story was just all tied up too nicely for me with all the connections they had. At parts, the story moved slowed for me with the 3 of them bickering. 

Catherine Ho did a good job portraying M

I am a fan of both of these authors so I had to read this. The twists that are in this story is very David Ellis and the face pacing of the story is very Patterson. 

I really liked how one event unravel so many secrets and spiraled into such a crazy time for Marcie and her family. 

I loved how you never really know who to trust.

I will read anything that Jenny Holiday writes. I loved Canadian Boyfriend and this is in the same universe and can be read as a standalone. 

Teddy and Gretchen are both mentors for an artistic camp. Both attend the camp for personal reasons to reset their life and unexpectedly becomes attracted to each other and develop a friendship. 

I love how they treated each other and the isolation of the camps for so many fun moments. I loved Teddy's sense of humor and him not being a total rock star asshole.

Not gonna lie, this was very tame and not what I expect from Cate but I loved it. 

This was a story of convenience to help each other out. I did not like Sylvie in the beginning, she was very spoiled and entitled. She won me over as her character developed and how she became a better person while living with Killian. 

As I mentioned, this was a departure from Cate's normal kinky story and it had so much depth with both of them having personal issues that needed to be resolved. 

There were still a lot of steamy scenes and the story kept me interested. I am looking forward to more of this series. 

Will Watt did a great job with the Scottish accent and Kelli Tager was a perfect Sylvie.
