The 2nd book in the series and Rhiannon is back, as well as her talking unborn baby and her need to kill.

Didn't blow me away like the first book, but had plenty of laugh out loud moments and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Meanwhile, over in a Dystopian America....Women have been silenced!

They are no longer allowed to read, write, use phones, hold a job, and most scary of all, they are only allowed to speak a maximum 100 words a day!

To make sure that this is completely set in place, all women have been fitted with a beautiful bracelet, a little bit like a digital watch, it has a counter on it, but instead of telling the time, it slowly counts down from 100 every time you utter a word. When it gets down to zero you will receive an electric shock.
But don't feel it's just us poor old women that get the sh*tty end of the stick, no, the bracelet and the rules will also apply to young female children including babies!

A once brilliant minded Dr. Jean McClellan, a leading doctor in her field of Cognitive linguistics is now just a mother of 4, she is in the house just to cook, clean and wash like the dutiful housewife that she is!

She is however given a slight reprieve when her expertise is needed...to help a man!

With Flashbacks that show how women have been beaten down to nothing, while men are still allowed to do whatever they want, this Dystopian book will give you Handmaids Tale vibes, if you like that one, then you will probably love this book too.

This is a revamp of a previous book with added extra's

Lauren Blakely is a master at this type of story, I always find myself with a cheesy grin on my face, her love stories and humour make her one of my favourite authors.

This story was no different, fun filled and swoony to the maximum.

As always Lauren thinks about her audio audience, so always pulls it out of the bag when it comes to top notch narrations, this story having the dream team that is Andi Arndt and Sebastian York.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face, grab this one as soon as you can!

Bella Tyson is a famous author, her genre is crime and she loves to write a good old Murder Mystery, but there is one thing holding her back at the moment, and that is writers block, after a messy and bitter divorce a couple of years ago, she just can't seem to get back into the swing of it.

She receives an email from a fan who offers her an apartment in Venice to help her with new ideas for her new novel.
Bella obviously jumps at the chance, and soon starts thinking of ideas for her new book.

After arriving in Venice and meeting the very dashing Will, the two set off to see the sights of Venice, well until the murders start happening obviously!

This is brilliant for Bella as she can use these brutal murders for inspiration for her book, but then weird things keep happening that she can't explain!

A super fun read, I loved Bella's character, she used humour a lot to get herself out of situations, and I love her for that as I tend to do the same thing, although not as brilliantly as her!

Expertly narrated by Deryn Edwards, who bought Bella's character to life and showed her sparkling personality.

A short listen at only 6 hours, and well worth grabbing!

**Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy of this book**

How many times have you thought to yourself I wish I was famous? How many times have you thought that all of your troubles would go away if you were?

How about being famous by accident?

This story is being told by our main MC 23 year old April May, who while wandering through NYC one night spies something that she doesn't remember seeing there before.
Being super quirky and arty, she does the only thing she can think of at this time in the morning, and excitedly calls her best friend Andy.

Andy isn't too happy about being woken up at 3am, but of course he goes along to see what April May is so excited about, when he gets there, so is he.

A huge statue has appeared in the middle of New York, and no-one seems to be paying it much attention, April May is astounded about how much work has gone into this statue, and there is no name attached to it to give any credit.

Andy has his own YouTube channel where he uploads silly videos, so the natural response would be to make a silly video of this, April "interviews" the statue, naming him Carl, and Andy later uploads the video.

The next morning, it seems that the video has gone viral, and April May is hot-stuff due to there not being just one Carl, oh no, that one is just New York Carl, there are also Carl's in cities all over the world, and it also seems that they all appeared at the same time, and Carl seems to be the name of choice, i.e Beijing Carl, Buenos Aires Carl, Tokyo Carl etc.

But April and Andy are the original Carl discoverers, and fame is instant for them.

April has to deal with fame with the whole world watching, and I really do mean the whole wide world!

🎧🎧 - Narrated by Kristen Sieh with a cameo by the author, who both did a fantastic job, I will definitely be looking out for book 2 and more by Kristen.

Until I was about 3 hours into this book I had no idea that Hank is the brother of the super duper famous John green, author of The Fault in Our Stars!
Comparing both authors is inevitable, but Hank hold his own, and dare I say it, even manages for me to slightly outshine his brother **ducks the flying objects**

I've said it before and i'll say it again, if you want to listen to a great romance audio, then you should listen to Lauren Blakely.

Why?

Because she spends so much time on her audio books as she is an avid listener, she ALWAYS delivers with the narrators that she picks, and her stories are ALWAYS sweet, sassy and low drama.

And if you are really lucky, (such as this book) you will also get some swoon worthy singing in it YES I SAID SINGING!!

So if you want to be swept off of your feet with yet another cracker of a story by Ms Blakely, then you should really grab this one.

Not only do you get the brilliant story of Sloane & Malone, a friends to lovers story, with some great crooning from Jason Clarke (Swoon) you also get your hands on the Novella for book 1.5 in the Sinful Nights series, which will have you desperate to get your hands on the full series.
