Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Back in the Burbs by Tracy Wolff and Avery Flynn Narrated by Sophie Amoss Contemporary RomCom/Womens Fiction Back in the Burbs by Tracy Wolff and Avery Flynn is a combination of Women’s fiction and romantic comedy. It’s more about the heroine standing on her own two feet than romance, but that’s ok with me. Mallory is 35 and just found her husband… Read More
It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover Narrated by Colin Donnell and Olivia Song “You can stop swimming now, Lily. We have finally reached the shore” It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite of her books, and quite honestly, I didn’t really think it needed a follow-up (see my review). It was about Lily’s journey to… Read More

Making the Match: A River Rain Novel by Kristen Ashley I love when Kristen Ashley writes older older couples, especially ones with teen or adult kids.

Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger Standalone thriller/dark romance <–(up for debate). TOTAL. MINDFUCK. I bought Pen Pal by JT Geissinger because I saw a ton of buzz about it.

Mr. Perfect on Paper by Jean Meltzer Standalone RomCom I really enjoyed reading about a flawed, real Jewish character with chronic pain in The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer, so I immediately grabbed Mr. Perfect on Paper when I saw it.

Oops I’ve Fallen by Max Monroe Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Stephanie Rose I’m not sure how to review Oops, I’ve Fallen by Max Monroe.

Every time I go back to the Island for a… Read More
