44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton Narrated by Ramona Master Standalone Embellished Memoir I am now BB Easton’s best friend. She doesn’t know it yet, but it’s true. I can tell by reading this fictionally elaborated memoir that we would have been getting into trouble together if we were the same age and knew each other. I have… Read More

Unbreak My Heart by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon We are used to Lauren Blakey’s sexy and smart romantic comedies.

Lately, Lauren has been writing some beautiful books… Read More
Come As You Are by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Standalone Contemporary Romance Lauren Blakely never lets me down with her audiobooks and Come As You Are is no exception.

After Care by LB Dunbar Narrated by Coleen Marlo First in a Connected Standalone Romance Series for Women Over 40. I absolutely LOVE a book where the couple is over 40! Being a mom of a 20-year-old touring musician, many of the stories I have thought about have to do with an older rock star. So imagine my surprise when… Read More
Wild Like The Wind (Chaos #6) by Kristen Ashley Standalone in a series. Highly recommended you read the whole series in order. I went into Wild Like The Wind by Kristen Ashley fresh from a Chaos re-read. At this point in a series, I begin to have trouble keeping track of all the characters, and I felt a bit lost… Read More
The Upside of Falling and The Downside of Love by Meghan Quinn Contemporary Romance Duet Meghan Quinn is consistently in my favorite author list for a reason. While her romantic comedies will always be what I think of her for, she slays me with her emotional romances as well, and with Top Gun being one of my favorite all-time movies,… Read More
All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover Standalone. Women’s Fiction/Romance All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover was probably my most anticipated read of 2018. Colleen has been one of my top favorite authors since she first published Slammed (She was at the very first Wicked Book Weekend in February 2013). So I knew to expect amazing writing and a TON of… Read More
Neighbors and The Neighborhood (Twin Estates 1 and 2) by Stylo Fantôme Narrated by Grayson Ash New/Adult/Adult Contemporary. These two must be read together. It’s been a while since I listened to Neighbors and The Neighborhood by Stylo Fantôme, and I am catching up on reviews, so this will be a little less detailed than usual. Interestingly enough, I like… Read More
Worth The Risk by K. Bromberg Narrated by Zachary Webber and Grace Grant Contemporary Romance. 3rd standalone in a series. Stands Well Alone. I picked up Worth The Risk by K. Bromberg not realizing it was the third in the Everyday Heroes series about the Malone Brothers. The first, Cuffed, about a cop, the second, Combust, about a Firefighter, and… Read More
Unconscious Hearts (Hearts of Vegas Book 1) by Harper Sloan Contemporary Romance. First Standalone in a Series. Harper Sloan is one of my favorite authors. So I can’t tell you how excited I was for Unconscious Hearts. I also personally love Harper, so I went in expecting and hoping to LOVE Unconscious Hearts. The blurb, the cover, the author…perfect setup… Read More
Two Wedding Crashers by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy with Emotion. Can totally stand alone, but 2nd in a series. Three Blind Dates by Meghan Quinn was one of my favorites this year. So before I read Two Wedding Crashers, I enjoyed a re-read via audiobook, and I loved it just as much as the first time. In Three Blind Dates,… Read More
Hidden Seams by Alessandra Torre Duet Narration by Dexter Collins and Elisabeth Powers Contemporary Romance, Erotic Romance, Standalone I honestly didn’t even read the blurb when I grabbed this audiobook of Hidden Seams by Alessandra Torre. I was looking for something different than the light and fluffy I was reading and Alessandra usually does that for me. Hidden Seams was still… Read More
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Adult Contemporary. Stands alone. What a refreshing read! It’s so hard to believe The Kiss Quotient is Helen Hoang’s first book because it was smartly written, refreshing, quirky, sweet, sexy, and unputdownable. It was also nothing like what I expected. This is an adult book with some erotic scenes, make no mistake about it,… Read More
Part-Time Lover by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Shane East and Grace Grant Standalone Contemporary Romance with RomCom elements. I feel like I start every Lauren Blakely book review the same, wondering how the hell she does it? She releases about a book a month and each one is amazing! I don’t even read the blurbs to Lauren’s books anymore. Because… Read More
Rewrite by Stephanie Rose Narrated by Tristan Wright and Devra Woodward Contemporary Romance Standalone Rewrite is a perfect example of why I blog. Stephanie Rose is a completely new-to-me author, and I just want to help more people find this gem of a childhood friends to lovers/second chance romance. While Rewrite isn’t the most unique premise, Stephanie Rose’s writing made… Read More
I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting Contemporary Romance/RomCom. Officially third in a series but totally stands alone. The perfect summer beach read! I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting isn’t quite what you normally expect from the author. It doesn’t have the over-the-top humor of the Pucked Series, but still has Ms. Hunting’s trademark wit in a bit of… Read More
The Real by Kate Stewart Adult Contemporary Romance. Standalone. Wow. Can I please repeat that a little louder? WOW. I have been sitting on this review for like 10 days because I honestly don’t feel like my words can convey the epicness of this journey. The blend of humor, emotion, angst, romance, and my favorite, message flirting, in The Real… Read More
Wait With Me by Amy Daws Romantic Comedy Standalone (for now) I absolutely LOVE that the story behind Wait with Me is the actual premise of the story. What a unique and creative idea! If you missed all of Amy Daws’s tweets while she was writing this, or the press (even Buzzfeed) surrounding the story, let me catch you up…. Read More
Drumline by Stacy Kestwick Narrated by Tracy Marks and Stephen Dexter New Adult Standalone I am not usually a lover of New Adult books. Reading about someone my son’s age gets a little weird sometimes. But being a band mom, and knowing Stacy was going to be at Wicked Book Weekend I grabbed Drumline on audio. I have never read… Read More
Fake Fiancée by Ilsa Madden Mills Narrated by Yvonne Syn & Alastair Haynesbridge Standalone Contemporary Romance I wanted to grab a quick standalone from Ilsa Madden Mills before seeing her at Wicked Book Weekend, so I grabbed Fake Fiancée, and I was so excited for it! I am thrilled to say it was just what I was looking for. With… Read More
Hotshot by Ahren Sanders Contemporary Romance. Stands alone. I’m not sure what I was expecting when I grabbed my first Ahren Sanders book but it wasn’t the drama and angst I got! I thought it would be a sexy light friends to lovers story, but I got a TON of drama. What an addicting read! When Crenshaw first meets Lisbeth… Read More
Getting Schooled by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber 2nd Chance Romcom. Stands alone. Audible Exclusive until June 26 2018 Emma Chase is hands-down one of my favorite authors.

At The Stroke of Midnight (Naughty Princess Club #1) by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. First in a series. Can stand alone. **Includes audiobook re-read, Narrated by CJ Bloom** There is a reason why Tara Sivec has been one of my favorite authors for 6 years. Her humor just hits me in exactly the right way, and the friendships she writes… Read More
