Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot Narrated by Emily Lawrence Standalone. Women’s Fiction with a little romance. As a Jewish romance book blogger, I try to pick up books that appeal to me with Jewish representation.

Beauty and the Baller by Ilsa Madden Mills Narrated by Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood Sports Romance.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood Narrated by Brooke Bloomingdale Smart RomCom. Stands Alone. I really loved The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (see my review) so I was excited to listen to another “STEMinist” novel from her.

Come Again by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Sebastian York with a little of Vanessa Edwin I listened to Come Again by Lauren Blakely when it was first released as part of the Big Rock Series.

So Not Meant To Be by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter Despite not being marked as a series, So Not Meant to Be by Meghan Quinn is best read after A Not So Meet Cute.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry Narrated by Julia Whelan Standalone Romance Book Lovers by Emily Henry has almost a unanimous 5-star rating from romance book bloggers and authors who I trust very much. I pick up any rom-com about the book world I can find, so this was naturally right up my alley. But I’ll be honest, while I really… Read More
A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Ava Erickson and Aaron Shedlock Romantic Comedy. Stands alone but there is a follow-up related book.

Much Ado About You by Samantha Young Narrated by Imani Jade Powers Standalone Contemporary Romance I’ve enjoyed Samantha Young’s books for 10 years, but it’s been a while since I read her.

Earn Your Extra Credit by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Erin Mallon and Sebastian York Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone but closely related to others.

Deconstructed by Liz Talley Narrated by Christina Delaine and Mikhaila Aaseng Standalone Women’s Fiction with Romance Deconstructed by Liz Talley was fun and not really what I expected, and I must admit, it took me a while to get past the thick southern drawl of one of the narrators. The story, however, was enough to make me get over the… Read More
The Best Men by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely Plus the Prequel: Super Hot Wingman Narrated by Teddy Hamilton & Jacob Morgan Very hot m/m. These two can stand alone together.

The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer Narrated by Dara Rosenberg Standalone Hanukkah Romance I love reading Holiday books. Yes, I was brought up Jewish, but growing up I felt left out of the magic.

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang Narrated by Brian Nishii and Natalie Naudus I have absolutely loved The Kiss Quotient series from Helen Hoang, but The Heart Principle may be my favorite, or is it my least favorite?

The Hush Note Series Review The Hush Note Series is a multi-author series by Sarina Bowen, Devney Perry, and Rebecca Yarros with each book about a different band member.

Used by Kate Dunbar Narrated by Stella Hunter Romantic Suspense. Standalone. Kate Dunbar’s debut novel, Used, is not my regular type of read. I am also on a blog hiatus because I just can’t focus on most books right now while I am in the middle of a home renovation. I had no such issue with USED. In fact, I… Read More
