October 2025 Review and Release Recap

11/02/2025

October 2025 Book Releases

October was a good month! I wish I could read and review faster. I reviewed 7 books (if you count the Scared Sexy collection as one), I DNFd one book, and read 6 more I haven’t reviewed yet (but 3 reviews are almost done). Once again, my favorites for the month are from Meghan Quinn, Lauren Blakely and Catherine Cowles–3 of my top 5 authors. They never fail me.

    • Just This Once by Lena Hendrix | Audiobook Review   4 Stars
    • Merry Little Kissmas by Lauren Blakely | Audiobook Review   4.5 Stars
    • Scared Sexy Collection | Audiobook Review   2.5-4.25 Stars
    • Secret Haven by Catherine Cowles | Audiobook Review   5 Stars!!
    • All Too Well by Corinne Michaels | Audiobook Review   4.25 Stars
    • Love Me Today by A.L. Jackson | Audiobook Review  4.25 Stars
    • Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn | Audiobook Review  4.75 Stars
    • The Huntsman by Naima Simone  DNF (Too dark in a weird way–it seemed paranormal but wasn’t. Cutting balls during sex didn’t do it for me).

🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥 If National Lampoo 🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥If National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation were a spicy romance, I imagine it would look a lot like Christmas Staycation by Meghan Quinn!I had SO MUCH FUN with this audiobook! 😂 The humor is completely juvenile, the family is chaotic, and Nolan has absolutely NO FILTER. Seriously, that man’s mind lives in the gutter, and I loved every minute of it.But underneath all the dirty jokes and Christmas chaos, there’s a surprisingly swoony romance. Nolan may be a walking sexual innuendo, but his sweet little gestures and golden retriever energy totally won me over. ❤️And the AUDIO! 🎧 The full-cast duet narration was fantastic. Shane East as the story’s narrator, especially when the characters start interacting with him, made the whole experience even funnier. Kelsey Navarro Foster and Brandon Francis were amazing as leads and made me wonder why I don’t see them used more. Swipe through for the tropes, some hilariously filthy quotes, my quick take, rating, and all the audiobook details!If you love outrageous humor, holiday romance, and a hero who has never met an inappropriate comment he didn’t want to make, add this one to your Christmas reading list!🎄 Full review with likes & dislikes at anasattic.comHave you read Meghan Quinn’s Kringletown Christmas books?

Add in some adorable animals, a little mystery, and plenty of spice, and I was happily back in Evergreen Falls!🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon lead an amazing full-cast duet narration that makes this story even more fun. I seriously can’t imagine experiencing Lauren’s books any other way!If you love grumpy/sunshine Christmas romances, add this one to your holiday listening list!
I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth wall in the Kringletown books.  Make sure the sound is on so you see what I mean. Christmas Staycation by @meghanquinnbooks had me laughing out loud! Nolan is a goofy immature perv with loyal, sweet and loving acts of service, and I am totally here for it. My full review is on the blog (link in bio). Meghan has been a long time favorite author, and she just keeps reinforcing that status! Grab this Christmas romcom on audio, the full cast narration audiobook makes it a full experience you don’t want to miss!Note: this is the Walmart special edition paperback.

Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. This movie was fascinating. It’s long and you won’t want to get up so make sure you pee, pick a comfy theater, and don’t drink your whole bucket of soda. I didn’t think I wanted to see a documentary in the theater, I was wrong. Sold out theater and nobody got up during the whole 3 hour film. Everyone in the bathroom was saying how great it was and how much they had to go the whole time lol. It still has a 98% RT score.
Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me ri Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me right back to the charming Christmas town of Evergreen Falls, and I loved being there again! 🎄❤️A grumpy, Christmas-hating veterinarian, a sunshine heroine who lives for the holidays, a fun Christmas competition, adorable animals, and a little mystery made this such an entertaining listen!And the full-cast duet narration led by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon? SO GOOD! Lauren Blakely’s books are made for audio, and this one is no exception.This is book 3 in the Evergreen Falls series, but it can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone. Perfect for getting into the holiday spirit! See my full review on the blog at anasattic dot com (link in bio)
I am SO EXCITED to see In A Holidaze by @christina I am SO EXCITED to see In A Holidaze by @christinalauren brought to life, especially with Rob Lowe (my lifetime crush 🤤).
