It was so fun to be back in this historical romance time frame this time focusing on Peggy. Peggy was such a great character and seeing all her relationships with her best friend, Bella as well her love interest Orfeo. 

It was so great to see Bonny and Valentine play a big role in this story as well. 

This story had so many funny moments and it was so steamy as well. 

I have enjoyed the Stephanie Plum series with all the humor and shenanigans that Stephanie and Lula gets into. This time we have a bit of mystery of finding out who is Robinhood. 

What I like about this series, is that you know what to expect and revisiting these characters. The love triangle between Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger was never my favorite and we finally get some answers in this story. 

Lorelei King always does a great job with narrating for this series. 

Thank you @simon.audio @atriabooks for a copy of this book.

I read this a few years back and didn't realize it was being released again. 

I loved the book the first time and the second time around. I adored Drew and how down to earth he was as the QB on campus. I appreciate that Anna didn't succumb to his charms immediately and had to work for it. 

The story takes us on their journey and a major event
happens and it was great to see the support from Anna. I also loved the supporting characters that added so much. 

The 1/3 act break up could've totally been avoidable and I wanted to knock some sense into Anna to be a butter communicator. 

Thank you @harlequinbooks for a copy of this.

This was straight out of a hallmark movie with the small Christmas town, enemies to lovers story. I didn't feel vested in the characters and felt some parts drag. 

The premise of the book sounded interesting but this was just a bit slow for me. I liked the idea of why the crew was dying and getting a little more of their back story. 

There was a lot of science stuff that dragged the story for me. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of this.

I adored this book with a little about returning home to help with her mom who has cancer. The story is about Gia's journey to care for her mom, returning to the town that blames her for a scandal that drove her out and some romance. 

The story is well told and kept me interested. I love the forbidden romance aspect and how they both had to overcome things to be together. 

I wanted more about the Banned Bookclub but that was really not a major plot point. 

Thank you @_mira_books for a copy of the book.

This was a short romance and loved Frankie. I love that she doesn't let her disability stop her from living. Her and Jay's connection is instant and I love how they explored rope play. 

Jacob Morgan and Lauri Jo Daniels did a great job with narration.

It was so good to be back with the gang. I love seeing the addition of David and how much he added to the adorable kids. I love seeing Arthur's relationship grow too. 

Daniel Henning did such a great job with bringing all the characters to life. 

I have enjoyed this series with showing an invisible disability and second chance romance. Linc was so attentive to Annie's needs. 

Love all the steamy scenes.

I was so excited to read The Striker, a new series by Ana Huang. With my love for forbidden romances, this was the perfect fix. Scarlett's brother is a professional footballer and his rival, Asher, joins the team. 

I love the tension between Scarlett and Asher, the slow burn was so good. They were so good together. I also love how close Scarlett was with her brother. 

This was a great kickoff to the series and I can't wait for the next book.

Thank you @read_bloom for a copy of the book.
