The Rules of Dating by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward Narrated by Maxine Mitchell and Zachary Webber Standalone Contemporary Romance Did you ever listen to a book and only half hear it? I feel like this happened the first time I read The Rules of Dating by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Because when I went to review it, I… Read More
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. If you read and liked The Love Hypothesis, you’ll probably enjoy Love on the Brain just as much, but you may… Read More
Last Resort: S.I.N. Series, Book 1 by K. Bromberg Narrated by Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock Note: Audiobooks were supplied by the author for an honest review. This post contains affiliate links. I’m going to be honest here. At first, I DNFd Last Resort. It opened with a long hot sex scene between characters I didn’t know yet, then, after… Read More
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. It was during the holidays and I apparently forgot to review it. Then I saw Come Again as Book 1 in the Happy Endings series…. Read More
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. The couple in this book are each siblings of the couple in the first book, so they are VERY related, though… Read More
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. Â Meghan Quinn has always been a favorite of mine so I try not to miss any releases. But sadly I missed A Not So Meet Cute back in November and decided to catch… Read More
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. Much Ado About You was just the kind of feel-good book I like to read, so it seemed like it would be the perfect book to get back… Read More
Earn Your Extra Credit by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Erin Mallon and Sebastian York Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone but closely related to others. Despite not being marked as a series, Earn your Extra Credit by Meghan Quinn is really book 2 in a series. It stands alone just fine, but if you love it and want to read the… Read More
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. You don’t have to read the prequel but it makes it better. Though I’m not really an m/m reader, I loved Lauren’s last one, A Guy Walks Into My… Read More
Wicked All Night: A Night Rebel Novel by Jeaniene Frost Narrated by Tavia Gilbert Wicked All Night is NOT a standalone. Please see HERE for the reading order. The Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost is my favorite all-time series, but somehow I missed it when Wicked All Night came out. Ian has always been my favorite character so I… Read More
The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan Narrated by Alex McKenna and Kaleo Griffith I purchased The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan because I saw it was highly recommended by bloggers I trust. I didn’t even read the description, I just jumped right in. Imagine my surprise when I saw it had rare Jewish characters! As a girl who was brought… Read More
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. When I married my husband, who was brought up Catholic, I used it as an excuse to go crazy for Christmas. You could see our house… Read More
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 first two were in third person, but this was in dual POV first person and it made me feel so much… Read More
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. I’m reviewing them together because I just sped right through them like candy and didn’t stop to review or take copious notes. They were all fun, engrossing listens that had way… Read More
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
Imperfect Match by Melanie Harlow and Corinne Michaels | Audiobook Review Narrated by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke Contemporary Romance/RomCom Standalone I was having such a hard time focusing on books, so I grabbed one by two authors who I know never disappoint. And I was right! Melanie Harlow and Corinne Michaels brought their A-Game to Imperfect Match, and the… Read More
One Time Only by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton Standalone male/male Romance. Prequel is available. I am not usually a big m/m reader because A- I like to imagine myself as the heroine, and B- they tend to be a little more sex than story. But Lauren Blakely never fails me. And after LOVING A Guy… Read More
Dirty Charmer by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt and Rupert Channing Standalone Spin-off of the Royally Series I’ve been a fan of Emma Chase since she released Tangled back in 2013 and she has never disappointed me. If you are looking for a fun, sexy, sweet, and funny romance, Emma delivers every single time. I love the Royally Series,… Read More
Mathilda, SuperWitch and Mathilda, Superwitch Rise of the Dark Lord (Mathilda’s Book of Shadows 1 & 2) by Kristen Ashley Narrated by Susannah Jones Fantasy/Paranormal/RomCom Duet. As a huge Kristen Ashley fan, I always felt bad that I never read Mathilda’s Book of Shadows: Mathilda, SuperWitch, Book 1. But the reviews were meh, and I knew it ended in a… Read More
Well Met (Well Met 1) by Jen DeLuca Narrated by Brittany Pressley Romantic Comedy. Standalone in an related series. If you are looking for a light, unique, and fluffy romcom, Well Met by debut author Jen DeLuca may fit the bill. And if you’ve enjoyed your local Renaissance Faire, then Well Met might just be a must-read. Emily moved to… Read More
The Fight for Forever (The Legend Trilogy #3) by Meghan March Narrated by Erin Mallon and Joe Arden Romantic Suspense. Book 3 of a trilogy. Does not stand alone. As expected, Meghan March delivered an exciting and sexy conclusion to The Legend Trilogy with The Fight for Forever. I very rarely read trilogies as I don’t have the memory to… Read More
Holiday 2019 Book and Audiobook Reviews I only read holiday books in December. This year I decided to take most of December off to spend time with family, but I still managed to read some great holiday romances. Tara Sivec’s Christmas Cliche is now probably my favorite holiday romance (see my review), but there were some good ones this year… Read More
