Throttled: Dirty Air, Book 1 by Lauren Asher Narrated by Ramona Master and Aiden Snow I don’t like sports, so sports romances don’t really excite me (even though there are plenty I loved) but I’m a big Formula 1 fan. So much so that I am taking my kids to the UK for a race this summer. I’m also a… Read More

The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker Narrated by Erika Schindele Standalone. Clean Romance. I requested The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker from NetGalley just for the title and cover.

Ford and James (Aka Jamie) were close childhood friends… Read More
The RSVP by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden Lauren Blakely is always a top 5 author for me. Her books never fail to be smart, sexy and entertaining, but although I enjoyed it, The RSVP just didn’t quite live up to all of the others for me. I don’t mind an age gap romance, I was… Read More
