The perfect small town romance

Reviewed: 07-19-24

Currently beating myself up for waiting so long to read this book. It has been sitting on my tbr forever. I decided to grab it off audible when I was looking for something to listen to while I was out running errands. I literally could not stop listening to this. I listened to this in ONE DAY. I was immediately sucked into this little small town of misfits and rich kid rivalry.

Demi just moved back to her hometown to open her coffee shop. She opened it right next to the town boxing gym and the owner, Romeo, hates her. She doesn't understand why, but doesn't keep her from trying to get under his skin and wearing him down. I freaking loved these two together. Though they both have some stuff in their pasts that they are working on, they eventually end up having really good communication to work through it. Romeo and Demi were perfect. I found myself swooning and sweating all in the same time because wow, their chemistry and heat are great.

I absolutely loved the narration of this. Per usual Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais freaking nailed it. They make the character feel so real and keep me invested in the story for a long period of time.

Love the take on single dad trope!

Reviewed: 07-12-24

I swear Elsie can do no wrong in my eyes. I am obsessed with this book. This was such a fun and unique take on the single dad trope and I ate it. The banter and tension between Rosie and Ford were so freaking great. It was really fun seeing them grow and adapt to their new normals and figuring out how to navigate them. I just kept waiting for the ball to drop and them finally give in to temptation. I dont' think I can say enough things about Cora. She honestly was the star of the show for me. Her sassy and spunky self was fun and seeing how she handled the things in her life.

I ate this up. So freaking good. I cannot wait to read more in this series.

Klein is the epitome of if he wanted to he would.

Reviewed: 07-01-24

I will be honest and say this book wasn't really on my radar at first. However, one of my friends said that this was a must read book and I couldn't really decide to what to listen to. I had an extra audible credit so said what the hell and just bought it. When I tell you that this book blew me away, that is not an understatement.

Klein and Paisley knew each other in college, but after an unfortunate incident they haven't seen or spoken to each other in years. On the night of her sister's bachelorette party she winds up in the bar that Klein is working on. Not wanting to go to the wedding by herself, she agrees to help Klein market his new book if he agrees to go to her sisters wedding with her. What's the worst that can happen.

This book sucked me in fro the get go. I was obsessed with Klein and Paisley! Though they have some struggles that they have to overcome in the past, it was extremely amazing to me the level of communication that these two had. Klein is the epitome of "If he wanted to, he would." The things he did in this book made me swoon SO HARD for him. I cannot even begin to express the love I have for these two and their relationship. Even though it was a short time on the island, their growth and relationship felt real and organic. Nothing felt forced and I loved it.

This book was so freaking good. I will recommend this to everyone I know. If you are in the mood for an honest to go just feel good book that makes you swoon but also sweat from some of those heat moments.. Yes, Yes,yes!

Collisions at crossroads

This was such a great start to the Haven River Ranch series. Honestly, when I think about a second chance romance/ Childhood lovers this is exactly what I want in it. I loved the flashbacks that happened in the story. It really helped you understand the reason why West and Indy were the way they were. There was so much tension and angst between these two you could literally cut it with a knife. I loved their story so much and seeing their love grow from the time they were kids to adult hood. It was beautifully written. For a book that was so short, it really took you on a journey and I never felt like the story lacked for being under 300 pages. I actually wasn't anticipating it being as emotional as it was and I found myself tearing up a few different times.

I listened to the audio of this gem. Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais did a phenomenal job with these characters. I truly felt them bring them to life and they make it so easy to feel like I'm watching a movie in my head.

Emotional & Amazing

"Women can be heros"

First, I want to start out and say that this is not normally a genre that I normally read. However, I was seeing it all over my page and I decided to grab it for my BOTM. I can't even tell you how happy I am that I took the chance to read this. I loved it. Loved everything about this book. It was such an immersive read with the way that Kristin Hannah describes things in her books. I felt like I was right there in the action with them. This was such an emotional, moving, read. Not only do we see the way that women were treated during this time period, but we also get to see a big behind the scenes of the PTSD that they went through and expected to just deal with it on their own.

"Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women."

Truly the women in this story were strong, motivated, inspirational, and overall just characters that you couldn't help rooting for.

I may not be a huge historical fiction fan, but I think I can safely say that I am a Kristin Hannah fan.

WHAT A FREAKING RIDE.

I devoured this book. I literally could not stop listening to this. I truly think that listening to the audio, made the experience of this book a million times better. The sound effects, the recorded interviews, and the narrators just killed it in this book.

This was so eery, creepy, twisty, and I have to say that I had no idea where this was going. There were a few times that I thought I had it figured out, but the twist did leave me shocked. I read this book a few weeks ago, and I still am thinking about it. The way that Lisa Jewell was able to spin these characters together and intertwine their lives was a literal roller coaster. I still don't know who I think is telling the truth.

Honestly, this is how you write a thriller. Keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing. It was captivating, intriguing, and really sends chills down your spine. I definitely think that if you want to read this book, you should try it on audio. It seriously made the book a million times better!

Unexpected funny thriller

Reviewed: 06-08-24

This was such a fun Who Done It thriller! I absolutely loved the podcast element and love that this is coming up a lot more lately. I am so glad that I listened to this on audio. It really made the experience that much more fun. I don’t think that I have ever laughed the way I did while reading this. The FMC inner dialogue and thoughts in her head had me seriously cackling sometimes. There were few times I thought I had this figure out but can honestly say I did not guess the ending. This was so entertaining and I loved it!

Silas and Ollie forever

Reviewed: 06-08-24

Right Man, Right Time is the third book in the Agitators series and these guys just keep getting better and better. I freaking loved Silas and Ollie's story. I laughed so freaking much in this story. This has a lot of my favorite tropes. Sports Romance? CHECK. Age Gap? CHECK. Fake dating. CHECK CHECK.

I could not wait to get to Silas story and figure out what his deal was and after figuring it out it honestly made so much sense why he was in such a hole. Enter in Ollie and helped him open his eyes that he deserves so much more. The banter and witty remarks between Silas and Ollie were probably some of the most hilarious interactions that I have read. Especially the narrators really brought the story to life. The spicy scenes between these two were.. my god.. someone get me fan. It was freaking amazing. I loved this book so much.

I know that not everyone loves the pregnancy trope, but man am I sucker for it. Meghan Quinn does it right though! I laughed so much going through this one. Penny is seriously such a chaotic basket case, but in the best way. I related to her so much with her psychotic mood swings and emotional roller coaster from being pregnant. Eli.. swoon.. freaking Eli. I loved the way that he was with Penny. Even though he has his own baggage and needed to work through things, he always made sure that Penny always was taken care of. The chemistry between these two was so freaking good. I was constantly rooting for them and was frothing at the mouth for one of them to just say f*ck it.. gah so freaking good. Loved this one!
