I typically do a bit of research before diving into a book, but the hype surrounding this one was too much to resist. Unfortunately, it just didn’t click for me.
I won’t spoil the plot, but I’d suggest checking out the blurb and some reviews beforehand. The narration, however, was a total win! Tara Langella and Troy Duran brought the story to life with their fantastic performances. Even though I wasn’t a fan of the story, their narration kept me hooked and engaged.
The twists and turns caught me off guard, and the ending was a real shocker. If you’re a fan of this author or the genre, this book might be worth checking out.
5/5 for narration

While the initial "meet-cute" between Felicity and James, a man in a penguin costume, was undeniably charming, the story quickly delved into heavier themes of heartbreak and trust issues.
Felicity's past experiences with Christmas and relationships cast a shadow over the holiday cheer. I found myself wishing for a lighter, more festive tone. While the exploration of deeper emotions is commendable, it didn't quite resonate with me.
The single POV narration might have benefited from a dual perspective to offer a more balanced understanding of both characters' inner worlds. Overall, The Night Before Christmas may appeal to readers seeking a more drama filled, slow burn holiday romance.

I’ve always been a fan of Bethany Joy Lenz, from her days on One Tree Hill to her heartwarming Hallmark movies. So, when I heard about her memoir, Dinner for Vampires, I was eager to dive in.
Lenz’s narration is captivating, and her voice is as soothing as ever. However, while the book delves into her experiences in a cult, I found myself wishing for more behind-the-scenes stories from One Tree Hill. Her journey through the cult is fascinating, and it’s intriguing to understand the complex dynamics that led her to trust this group over her own family.
Unfortunately, the book doesn’t delve as deeply into her recovery process and rebuilding her life after leaving the cult. I would have loved to hear more about how she reconnected with loved ones and found her way back to herself.
Despite these things, Dinner for Vampires is a worthwhile listen, especially in audiobook format. If you’re a fan of Lenz or are interested in stories of personal growth and overcoming adversity, I recommend giving it a try.

If This Were a Movie by Morgan Elizabeth is a delightful read that will have you swooning and smiling. The story follows Jules and Nate, two characters who are instantly likable and relatable.
The author does a fantastic job of weaving a heartwarming tale of love and second chances. The "invisible string" concept is a unique and charming touch, adding a magical element to the story. Nate is the perfect book boyfriend, and his chemistry with Jules is undeniable.
I loved watching Jules's character navigate her relationship with Nate as she learns to let go of her fears and embrace love. Nate was so patient and his confidence in them being meant for each other gave me heart eyes. I loved how he listened and picked up on the simple things that she loved. I just absolutely LOVE Nate!
Overall, If This Were a Movie is a must-read for fans of romantic comedies. It's a feel-good book that will leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

The Wiener Across the Way is a delightful addition to the Cocky Kingman series. This lighthearted romance follows pop sensation Kelsey and grumpy NFL player Declan as they navigate a fake relationship that might just turn into something real.
The story is filled with banter, heartwarming moments, and plenty of laughs. The dynamic between Kelsey and Declan is both charming and entertaining. The inclusion of Kelsey's adorable dog, Wiener the Pooh, adds an extra layer of cuteness to the story.
The narration by Stella Hunter and Jacob Morgan is spot-on. Hunter's portrayal of Kelsey is bright and energetic, while Morgan brings a rugged charm to Declan.
If you're a fan of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, you'll definitely appreciate the subtle references to their relationship.

The C*ck Down the Block by Amy Award is a delightful, feel-good read. Trixie, our teen librarian heroine with a pet rooster, is an absolute joy. Her confidence and positive outlook are infectious, and her friendship with Chris, the NFL player who has been in love with Trixie since high school is heartwarming.
While the book celebrates body positivity, it doesn't make it the sole focus. It's refreshing to see a curvy heroine who's comfortable in her own skin and isn't defined by her appearance.
The narration by Christian Fox and Stella Hunter brings the story to life. Their performances are spot-on, making it easy to visualize the characters and their world.
If you're looking for a light, fluffy romance with some humor, The C*ck Down the Block is a great choice. I can't wait to dive into more books by Amy Award and explore the world of the Kingsman brothers!

Once Upon a Christmas Tree by Lulu Moore is a delightful little Christmas novella that’s perfect for cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa. It's got all the right troupes for a festive read: a grumpy hero, a sunshine heroine, and a whole lot of holiday cheer.
Haven, our Christmas-obsessed heroine, is a breath of fresh air. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and I couldn’t help but smile at her love for all things Christmas. Alex, the grumpy billionaire, who despises Christmas. Their one night stand was steamy and full of chemistry.
The narration by Shane East and C.J. Bloom is fantastic. East’s British accent is spot-on, and both narrators bring the characters to life. I really enjoyed the pairing of these two narrators for this story.
If you're in the mood for a quick, fun, and steamy Christmas read, Once Upon a Christmas Tree is definitely worth checking out.
While it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger per-say, you will need to read the first book in this new series to get more of these two. It has an HEA to be continued…..
