This was a pretty cute escapist read, definitely going to work for you if you like the Finlay Donovan series because the vibes are very similar. It’s kinda silly and super far fetched, but for what it is, it’s pretty fun. I related to the opinions on parenting, especially Gabby’s feelings on being a stay at home parent and found myself legit laughing out loud at times. I did the audio version and Mia Hutchinson Shaw was a delight. Try this is you want something quirky and fun. 

This was a new to me author so I went into this not knowing what to expect and I really loved it! There was a great balance of spice, humor and sweetness and even some drama that I enjoyed. This was super sexy but the characters also had an emotional connection and there were plenty of tender moments besides incredibly hot ones! The narrators were both fantastic and brought the characters to life 

The author has done it again, I know that every time I start one of her books I’m going to get a five star read but somehow I’m always a little surprised when it happens?! Haha I don’t even know but you guys, this was SO good! I wasn’t sure how weird it would be to have Callie & Lewis all grown up but I shouldn’t have worried for a second because the author did an amazing job with their story. The time spent in flashbacks from when they were dating as teenagers was adorable and showed just how much history these two have, it made the stakes that much higher as adults and I was so invested in their HEA. Their lifelong relationship made their connection so intense and special and that translated to their passion so freaking well. Seeing their families together so much in this one was adorable and then the author always manages to add some crazy action and tension to up the stakes even higher making this yet another super well rounded installment to one of my very favorite series! 

I don’t normally jump into a series this late but I’ve been wanting to try the author so I gave it a go and it was totally fine. I will be going back to the earlier books though because I really liked this one! The way Jolie & Vaughn met cracked me up and I was instantly invested in their story. This was sexy, sweet and funny and Andi Arndt will always be one of my faves. Christian Fox was an excellent grumpy rich guy too 😉 


This is way less thriller than I expected it to be, it does have a mystery but it’s more family saga than anything else so heads up there. I even found the mystery aspect to be a little lacking for me in the end, but where this worked well for me was in the characters themselves. The exploration of the Kenney families complex dynamics was interesting to me and the addition of some pretty shocking secrets and lies helped to maintain my attention. ​If you’re in the mood for a character driven mystery try this!


I am hit or miss with this author, I think I’ve rated her books from two starts all the way to five and this one was slightly better than middle of the road for me. It was really fast paced and on the shorter side so it was a quick one and it also had short chapters which always propels things for me. The mystery was decent if not earth shattering and I enjoyed all the various viewpoints you get until you find out whodunnit. 

This was such a good book, I absolutely adored it. It was different than I expected it to be but in a good way. It’s very character driven with complex relationships and so much heart. Many of the issues are deep but there’s a balance of hope and light too. Helen Laser was a phenomenal narrators and captured Phoebe’s voice perfectly
