Mister Tonight is such a wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favourite Kendall Ryan books. One of my favourite sub-genres in romance is the single parent, especially single fathers - so I was super excited to listen to this book. Hunter and Kate (And Maddie) are the best! So sweet. They're relationship and interactions were wonderful. I loved that Hunter took his child into account, and his interactions were the sweetest - talk about a swoonfest, which was portrayed wonderfully by Sebastian York. (I'll just melt now). I loved that Maddie took time to warm up to Kate and that Kate grew to love her. It wasn't instant and it really showcased the dynamics of a new family.

Maddie was a smart little cookie and with several nephews that were very similar at her age, it made me smile....a lot.

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York performed brilliantly as always. Their performances were flawless and made each character believable.

I've been working my way through Fiona Cole's back-catalog since devouring Shame, and I have to say, how is this her first book? It is fantastic. I fell in love with these characters, I loved the story and the suspense. I laughed and I cried, ok, I sobbed. It had everything I love about romantic suspense and even some things that made me uncomfortable, but I just couldn't stop turning the pages. I was hooked. The last chapter about killed me, I don't think my heart could survive any more...and then that epilogue. F**k me! I loved the suspense and that sense of whodunit. I had my suspicions and was both happy and sad they proved right. Fiona Cole writes stories I want to not only read, but devour. She captures my attention, my heart, and my breath with each word she writes. I need more. Always more.
These characters. Sigh. I've never done such a 180 on a character as fast as I did in this book. But, that's all I'll say about that - just read it. Jack MacCabe was so swoony, I loved him, I also wanted to reach into my kindle and smack him upside the head while shouting ‘communication!!!' But those moments were few and far between. Mainly, I just loved him. Is Fiona ever going to write a guy I don't fall head over heels for? I vote NO! Luella King is my girl. I love her so so much. She funny and sweet and kick arse. She's not afraid of her mistakes and readily admits to them. She's strong in her own way. Their relationship was so sweet...and sexy. I mean, just read the scene when they meet and try not to let your Kindle melt...and that's just the start.

After reading a couple of Fiona Cole books and being completely blown away with her writing and the way she bleeds emotion onto the page, I wanted to go back and read the books I haven't yet. Enter Deny Me, it's more lighthearted than the other books I've read from Fiona, and that isn't a bad thing. I love a good friends to lovers/ best friends brother story and this hit all the right spots for me. It is charming and funny and at times emotional. Although, not overly so, thank goodness. The characters are fantastic, Jameson King is such a swoonworthy character. He was dominant but not in an overbearing way. A dirty talker (sign me up!) and a sweetheart I'm equal measure. It was obvious how he felt for Evie. Evelyn Valero, Evie, was such a perfect heroine, you couldn't help but become smitten with her. She was strong and sassy and sexy. The three S's you hope all heroines will be. I wanted to hit her upside the head at times, but when you've been told your whole life you don't need anyone I'm sure it's hard to change. Her friendship with Luella, Jack, and Jameson shows so much of her personality and the things she holds important, I felt it was a huge part of her character. (I just found out Luella and Jack have a book...excuse me while I run to Amazon!) Her mother was frustrating but you could understand that the things she did and said came from a place of love. I loved that she came through when it mattered. I adored the banter between Jameson and Evie, it was everything that was them. Perfection. Their chemistry was off the charts. Talk about melting a kindle. The setting for the book was great too, a nice mixture, the spa in Jamaica? I wanna go. Anyone want to book me a flight? Pretty please?

After listening to some angst filled books lately The Real Thing was such a nice refreshing change. It is sweet, sexy, and endearing. I loved listening to it. It's such a fun mix of some of my favourite tropes; movie star dating an every day girl, brother's best friend, fake relationship, and second chance romance - all the things and it works...so well. These characters are so captivating and I was taken with them and their relationship. I loved their chemistry. Melissa Foster wrote such a wonderful and heartfelt story. John Lane was brilliant, he brought life to these characters and the way he changed his tone for each character making it obvious who was who made for a wonderful listening experience. The production was great with no issues that I noted.

This was such a great book. A contemporary romance at its best. I loved spending time yachting with these characters, they're so likeable. Louise Bay's writing is always so fun and engaging. I love spending time in her world. This world is no different. I especially loved the background themes with this book - the guilt Avery carried over Michael and his health concerns. Then the thread of suspense with the kind of ‘whodunnit?' Running throughout the story really gave this book that little something extra.

Louise Bay writes some wonderful book boyfriends and Hayden Wolf can be added to the list, sure I had my doubts at times, in fact, he drove me half insane, but, he redeemed himself. It did take me a while to warm up to him, I thought he was a bit of a jerk, to be honest, but, once he got over that little bump he really was the sweetest thing. Avery was such an awesome character, I loved her, she was feisty and independent. The way she cared for and was loyal to her beliefs and her family - it made her so likeable. She's someone you can imagine being friends with, you know, the friend you need to protect so that others don't take advantage of her kindness. She was just the sweetest. I loved Landon and I vote for his story next. Closely followed by Michael, Skylar, and August. Ooooh, maybe that's just two book plans right there?!?!?!

I loved the progression of their relationship. It started out as an attraction and quickly grew into something more. The build-up really made this story special, experiencing the chemistry between these characters and them slowly coming to grips with how they felt and the result of acting on them. It was just perfect. Louise Bay is the queen of sexy times, she writes it so well and it always fits with the story and never feels rushed.

I started reading this book but the last 50% I listened to, it's rare that I don't listen to the full book, and I have no doubt that in the future I will, but at this time I wanted to finish the book and knew I didn't have the time to finish reading it so I switched to the audio version on release day. Shane East and Erin Mallon were brilliant. I just love the emotion they convey and the tone and inflections they use to differentiate characters and emotions. Shane was the perfect choice for Hayden Wolf - and not just between of the British accent, although I'm sure it helped, he has the perfect tone for the character, you believed that he was a multi-millionaire on a yacht. The American accents came across well too. Erin, well, it's no secret I love Erin's voice, especially that male voice...swoon, she was wonderful as Avery and her accent for Hayden was fantastic. I didn't notice any production issues.

This is the first time I've read or listened to a Aly Martinez book, but it won't be my last. I am so in love with this book. It was everything I hoped and more. When I was scrolling through Audible and spotted a book narrated by Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton I jumped at the chance to listen to it - dream team right there. Having spent the day listening to the book I have to say that I love Aly's writing, I was doing so well until the last couple of chapters and then I shed a couple of tears - I couldn't help it, dammit! My cold heart was cracked by this couple and how they had to try and overcome their hang ups to be together. I also had a number of laugh out loud moments - you know it's bad when your dog starts giving you the side-eye like you're crazy. I went in on book 2, seeing as it was a standalone, I don't feel I missed out by not reading book 1 first, however, I hadn't even finished this one before I was back on Audible buying book 1 - I wanted to spend more time with some of these characters.

Speaking of characters, I have so much love for them. Evan and Henry both had issues that they needed to overcome. They were frustrating at times, but lovable. I was rooting for them the whole time. The way their relationship progressed and how they grew as people was really beautiful to experience. The chemistry between them was jumping through the headphones...that is, when the sexual energy was melting them. The epilogue made my heart soar, it was the perfect ending for this couple, with a message that more people should understand. I thought the support characters were a fantastic addition. I'm looking forward to diving into Sam and Levee's story. I hope we get stories for Scott, and Carter and Robin in the future.

Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton insert all the heart eyes were amazing. I do not use that word lightly, I was completely lost in this story and their performances. It was heart-achingly beautiful. They both have very distinct voices and it worked so well, I had just finished saying how dual was my least favourite style of narration, and then I listened to this book and I take all the words back. Aiden and Teddy proved me wrong, they captivated me and I was lost in their voices. I listened to this book in one go, once I started I just couldn't pull myself away. Each character was unique and easily identifiable. The emotion, man, the emotion they put into their voices swoon I could not imagine this book having any other voice, they were perfect as Henry and Evan. The casting gods were smiling down on us. The production was wonderful with no issues that I noted.

Review is subject to change

Ella Fields has done it again. Nobody try to talk to me right now, I'm trying to process. Good heavens I just don't know how much more my heart can take. I thought Suddenly Forbidden was all the things, Bittersweet Always takes those things and screwed them up and chucked them out the window. I have no feels left to give, Ella has stolen them with her words. Ella's writing is flawless and captivated me from the first chapter, I lost sleep, I just couldn't put this book down, when I couldn't keep my eyes open any more, I napped for a couple of hours and as soon as I woke up, I was straight back to this couple and their story. This book is one of those books that will stay with me for a very long time. This isn't just a romance, this is an enlightening piece of work that can help people understand and accept. I loved the acceptance that came with this story - it was such a huge part of the storyline. It filled me with happiness to see such a difficult subject handled with such grace, respect, and care. My hat goes off to Ella. Ella, thank you for writing this book, thank you for showing Toby and Pippa's strength. Mostly, thank you for not shying away from this subject matter and doing it justice.

This book is filled with characters you can't help but love. We see Daisy and Quinn from Suddenly Forbidden, and it was so cute seeing their relationship from Pippa and Toby's eyes - if you didn't read SF because the cheating element was too much for you, rest assured you can pick up there story here and know what happens without the nitty gritty of it all. Callum, swoon, I still love him, I really hope his story is next. Toby Hawthorne is one of those characters you can't help but love and root for. He is sweet and charming, but he also has demons, he doesn't always handle things correctly, and at times he frustrated the hell out of me, but I could also understand his actions too. His strength has no comparison. Pippa James, my girl! She freaking rocks! Her strength is astounding, I loved her so much. She was feisty and independent, she stood her ground when she needed to. When she loves, she loves with her whole heart.

I loved the relationship between Toby and Pippa, it was filled with acceptance and understanding. They had their ups and downs for sure, and sometimes it was hard to watch the difficulties they were going through. At times I was shouting at my kindle, begging them not to do something... or to do something. And that's what makes this such an amazing read, that it can have me shouting, and crying, and sometimes even chuckling. I just couldn't put it down. I can't stop thinking about it. I think this just became my favourite book of 2018.

The cover for this book, sheesh, have you seen it? It's beautiful. I have to say, I think this and the cover for Suddenly Forbidden are two of the best covers I've ever seen. I'm going to need to get them on my shelf.

It's no secret that I adore Laurelin Paige's writing and this book doesn't disappoint. It is a sweet, feel-good story. I love a second chance romance, especially one like this, which is sweet and sexy. I really liked the movie aspect of this story, there is something about that trope that calls to me... maybe because it's so different to the lives we lead. This book had me swooning, and laughing, it was so good. The cover is insert heart eyes I just adore it. It fits the story perfectly. And, of course, I love that it includes the names of the narrators.

I loved these characters so much. I adored Walter, I feel like we need to give him and Rodger a story - pretty please! Tanner was all the things. I loved his sexy movie star self, but also the way he was when it was just him and Jenna. The way he encouraged her, and put her first, even when she didn't know in - swoon! Jenna was such a sweetheart, I so wanted to go hang out with her. She had her insecurities that made perfect sense to me, her relationship with Walter was such a delight.

I loved the relationship between Tanner (swoon) and Jenna. It was super sexy... melt your kindle sexy... I mean, it is a LP book after all, it's to be expected. I loved that we got to see both of their PoVs and how they were dealing with seeing each other again after so long. Finding out that they'd never really gotten over one another and how that came to be. Both of them were pretty insecure but that made sense. Especially when the reason for the break-up is revealed. I loved that the love was always there and once they were together again they just couldn't resist. The sex scenes were super hot, (see comment above about melting kindles) and fit well with the story and the timing of it.

Erin Mallon is always at the top of her game. I loved her performance. She nailed the different accents and I just love how she makes each character sound so unique. I've not heard anything by Rupert Channing and I have to admit it took a while for me to get used to his narration. The accents threw me. The Australian sounded rather British in parts and the American just didn't sound right, but that's just personal taste and nothing against the performer. The confrontation scene towards the end was probably my favourite, it felt like he put a lot of emotion into the performance. The production had no issues that I noted.

Edited to include the audiobook edition.

Kendall Ryan just needs to take my money... all of it! Every book I read, or listen to, I think is my favourite, and every time I'm proved wrong. Her writing is so captivating that I end up lost in the story, whether I want to be or not. Bro Code was no different, I loved the idea of this story and thought I'd enjoy it, but, it was so much more than I thought it would be. The twists had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next to bring everything together.

These characters are so cute. I just adored Ava's parents, they were so sweet and funny. I liked Nick, maybe he needs a story next.
Barrett Wilson is a charmer for sure. He was sweet, and sexy. He also drove me half insane with his bro code excuse - my god, man! I may have thought about slapping him upside the head on more than one occasion. Ava is just awesome. I loved her character so much. She was committed and determined no matter what others said, I loved that about her. The love she had for the factory and the workers was commendable and made her such a strong character and I loved that.

The relationship between Ava and Barrett was so cute. I loved their interactions. It was fun, since they'd known each other a long time, and lusted after each other for almost as long, seeing that finally come to fruition and them not be able to resist, it was the sweetest thing. The sex scenes were smoking hot and fit this couple and their story perfectly.

I usually love Ava Erickson and Jacob Morgan's performances, they're fantastic. And they're both brilliant when performing a dual narration, however, as a duet performance? OMG! Just take my money and give me more! Amazing! Having already read the book I can safely say that they brought this story to life and gave it a whole new feel that I didn't get from just reading it. They always seem to have the perfect tone for each character they perform that it captivates the listener and they get lost in the performance, this book is no different in that aspect, but having Ava perform the female and Jacob the male parts just worked so perfectly. Is it too soon to sign a petition for more duets?
The production was fine with no issues that I noted.

In true honest fashion, and I know I've gushed about this book, there was one line that I didn't like, that frustrated me a bit, it's nothing major, personal taste and all that. But, since I'm still thinking about it, I'm mentioning it. Because, you can absolutely love a book, and still not like every aspect of it. That's the joy of reading, right?

I adored the Bennett Family series, like thousands of other people, and I'm sure we all had the same fears and questions when it came to the end of its run. What now? How can we ever move on? Will this Connor family be able to make us feel the way the Bennetts did? Layla is a genius. The Connors are a wonderful family, they have a totally different dynamic than what the Bennetts had, and it works so well. The way the siblings interacted was pure brilliance. This could have gone one of two ways, it could have been the Bennetts rehashed, or it could stand on its own originality, and it's the latter. This series feels new and fresh and I am so excited to spend more time with the Connor Clan! I listened to this book in one sitting, once I started I just couldn't pull myself away from this story and these characters. Layla writes characters you want to know about, you want to spend time with, and her writing flows so beautifully that it just immerses you into their world.

Landon and Maddie are so sweet together. From early on you must know they're a match made in reader heaven. The way they interacted and came to terms with their feelings was sweet and beautiful. No major conflicts to drag out and make us question their feelings. It was obvious. Landon is such a swoony sweetheart, I fell for him early on. He's not had it easy, raising his younger siblings and then losing his wife - but, he doesn't close himself off, he embraces his feelings for Maddie, even if they weren't what he planned. Maddie is such a wonderful character, I adored her. She's making a name for herself in a tough business, all while helping her sister finance college and although she doesn't have the need for a man, and doesn't want to get hurt again, she's still open to a relationship with Landon. The chemistry between them was palpable and the steam level, well, let's just say Landon isn't all sweetness wink The other Connors are awesome, I can't wait to get to know them some more. The next book is out soon, right?

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are a powerhouse. They always deliver when they perform, and when they're paired up, you know it's going to be magic. This book is no different, I thought Sebastian embodied Landon, he was just the perfect voice for this character. Andi was brilliant as Maddie. They both bring so much emotion to the characters and the change of tone and inflection really gives each character a unique voice. The production was fine with no issues I noted.

I have to start by saying I am not up-to-date on the Shopping for a Billionaire series, I had hoped to be, but life. However, although it's a continuation and book 13, I didn't feel that I'd missed out when reading this book - we hear about some things that happen in past books and it just made me want to catch up with those books.

I love Julia Kent's writing style. It captures the reader's attention, pulls them into the story and keeps them invested until the very last page. The way she blends humour and emotion is a skill. I never fail to fall about laughing at the hilarious moments and there are plenty of them, and then cry at the emotional ones too. It really is a wonderful way to pass the hours, I really need to find more time to spend with Julia's characters - they brighten my day. I really love the covers for this series, and this book's cover is no exception. It's eye-catching and just really sweet.

This book is hilarious, so many laugh out loud moments. It's also quite emotional, for me at least, I think anyone that has tried to conceive will be able to empathise with these characters and what they're going through. I was able to identify with Shannon more in this book than any of the others I've read in the series. (No! We're not going to mention the phone down the toilet debacle). Conception is a touchy subject and I think it was handled with grace, care, and compassion. Not only showing the difficulties but also finding the humour in situations and how it can bring people together. It was beautiful to read.

These characters are freaking hilarious! I love them so much. Shannon's mother is one of the best fictional women ever! Shannon and Declan are such a wonderful couple and having spent a fair few hours with them and their story. It's so great to see them progressing through their happily ever again. Watching them grow together, and make the decision to expand their family, and all the ups and downs that entails. Declan has many swoon-worthy moments, I always forget just how charming he is, but he soon reminds me.

This book! I adore it so much! It's a powerful, thought-provoking, emotional rollercoaster that I think everybody is going to love.

I first read Flightpath when it originally released as part of Cristin Harber's Titan World and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was my favourite out of the 11 books in that series of books. There was just something about it that I identified with. Maybe because my dad worked away when I was a kid, not in the military, but still, that sense of not knowing, it's there; the communication difficulties, the airport scenes. Yeah, I could relate. Then maybe it was the fact that this is such a perfect love story. Seth and Maddie are the perfect couple, they have a love everybody hopes they'll one day achieve. But, mainly, it was Amber's writing. She writes so beautifully, describing places, scenes, and emotion so well that the reader is awestruck by its beauty. I laughed, and I cried, and I swooned. Amber does something pretty unique and special in this story, she immerses you into the lives of these characters, so much so, that you feel connected to them on an emotional level, the things they were feeling, you felt with them. The struggles they experienced, well, you're right there with them too. It also gives a great understanding of the military life, how couples cope with the separation and the effects it has on the relationship. Either a lot of research went into this aspect of the book, or she has some firsthand knowledge – it really upped the appeal of this book. I was extremely invested in this story and what was happening between these characters.

Amber's writing is flawless, it's hard to believe this is her first published book, she writes like a pro! Not only does she Captivate you with the story of Seth and Maddie, but she draws you in with supporting characters too. This story is beautiful. I wanna know more about Matt and Katie. I loved that Olivia was a forward kid, I'm surrounded by smart little boys that were talking away from being a toddler so it's nice to see that in a book, rather than have her just babble. Maddie is awesome, she is so sassy, which I love, she has a lot to deal with. Her husband is halfway across the world in a war zone, not having instant answers to her worries, having a baby, all of it, I felt for her and could understand her reactions and worries. Seth, good heavens, this man is so swoon-worthy, it's not even funny, he's taken – I have it in writing from the author, so don't get any ideas. He is sweet and sexy, and he's strong and smart. He has that commanding presence to him, that makes you just want to do whatever he says. It's funny because some lines if anyone would say them I'd find them quite condescending, but with Seth, they were just perfect, they were a part of his character and came from his heart. If I'm ever in trouble, please, for the love of everything, send Seth to save me. I loved that they were in it together, it was always them against the world and they fought for their love.

This book was wonderful the first time around, and it's even better this time. The extended epilogue is cute and fits with the story and gives it a nice finish. The new cover, swoon, it's so perfect, it's Seth and Maddie without a doubt. I thought I loved the original cover, which I did, but this is even better. A little advice – make sure you have those kleenexes handy. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer... because I wasn't ready to leave this couple. I want more! That's not to say the book isn't complete, it is and is wonderful, I just adore these characters and I selfishly want more of them.

Come as you Are is such a sweet story. I think this book came to me at the right time, I'd been reading some angst filled books just lately and then this gem came into my life. It was such a sweet and easy listen. Lauren Blakely always finds a way to entertain me and put a smile on my face. Her words are a definite must for anyone feeling out of sorts. Flynn and Sabrina are adorable, I just loved them so much. This book is Lauren at her best. Grabbing the listener's attention and keeping it until the last page. I liked the cover, but I have to say it wasn't my favourite, it didn't really give me a feel for the story as I read it. Still a nice cover though.

These characters are so sweet. There isn't a conflict as such, even if I was worried for a second there. But, I felt that was awesome because it truly showed Flynn's character growth. He was such a sweet guy, he made time for everyone, he had insecurities that were understandable. Sabrina, was fantastic, she may have been down on her luck but she kept going, wanting to do the best for herself and her brother. I loved the relationship she had with him. It was sweet. The way she overcame her insecurities to be with Flynn. Their relationship and how they meet, for the first and second time. Watching them form a friendship and then that blossom into something more. It was just lovely and just what I needed.

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York were fantastic casting for this story. They both deliver such strong performances and really immerse you in the story. Although it's a dual performance, the text messages were in duet and I thought that was really clever, maybe because I'm such a fan of duet anyway. The production was great with no issues of note.

Most Irresistible Guy is included at the end of the audio. I was excited when I found out as I was hoping it would get the audio treatment. I even held off reading it. Andi Arndt was superb as violet. If you've read Most Valuable Playboy this is a great little prequel to make you smile and it'll probably make you want to do a reread of MVP. If you haven't read it, this is a great introduction to some of the characters. It was short and cute.

This book is super cute. It's novella length, so a quick read. Whitney G isn't an author I've read before, but I'm going to be on the lookout for more. Her writing is fun and sexy. Sweet and charming. Definitely something I want to read more of. I listened to it in one sitting. I was worried at first, because of the length, I had concerns that the story would feel rushed or not complete, but I'm happy to report my worries were for naught. The pacing of the story was perfection, it kept moving along nicely and nothing ever felt forced. It was a really fun story. An office romance that gets out of the office, with characters that are charming and sweet. Characters you'd happily spend a few more hours with. The sexy times were hot and fit well with the story, they weren't overdone.

Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber were fantastic. They really breathed life into these characters. The sarcasm was delivered perfectly, the humorous moment were spot on, and the emotional elements were performed so beautifully that it gave the listener the connection they needed to really feel for these characters.

This was a sweet, and sexy novella. I really enjoyed this friends to lovers story. It's a quick listen and can easily be listened to in one sitting, which was how I listened to it. The story doesn't feel rushed at all and the writing is pure Shen, which is to say it is captivating and wonderful. I love getting lost in her worlds. LJ Shen is a genius, only Shen could write a novella that includes friends to lovers, a fake relationship, roommates, and fake other things and make it work. And it does work, Jolie and Sage are the cutest. I was rooting for them from the get go. The extended epilogue was a great addition to the story and gives a look into their future. The book is sexy as sin, as one would expect from an LJ Shen book.

I wasn't sure about Tessa Ellory to begin with, she was a new voice to me, and at the beginning it felt like Sage sounded a lot older than he was, however, once the prologue was over and we got to the bulk of the story, I actually loved her performance and it really made the story for me. The way she conveyed the emotions the characters were experiencing was spot on. Joe Arden's performance was great, however, I just felt that his voice was too older sounding for the characters in this story.

If you've never listened to anything from LJ Shen before this is the perfect introduction to her writing.

This is such a sweet story. I like a good conflict, as much as the next person. But, sometimes, I like smooth, sweet, and easy. That's what Tempting Little Tease was for me. It was such as easy listen. It won't be to everyone's taste, I'm sure, but for me, it was just what I was in the mood for. I loved how Quinn and Alessandra connected and started dating, knowing there was an end-date. Squeezing as much time together as possible.

Kendall Ryan has done it again. I love the way she writes, the way she pulls the reader into the story. I loved how the Italian was handled in this book. Sometimes another language can be hard to follow, but that wasn't the case in this book. This entire series has been a dream to listen to. Each book is so much more than I expected. Tempting Little Tease is no exception. It's no secret that Cooper took the top spot in the Kingsley Brothers book boyfriend battle, and although Quinn has given him a run for his money, Cooper is still very much on top.

I loved the characters in this book. The little glimpses into Gavin and Cooper's lives was a cute addition and made me smile. Alessandra was such a sweetheart, I loved her. I loved that she was independent, that she had her own thoughts and knew what she wanted out of life. I could see being pals with her. Quinn was super swoon worthy. He wasn't as alpha as I imagined him to be, which was actually really nice. I always loved that he was the one always taking care of his brothers, and that continued into his relationship with Alessandra, it was so adorable. The way he never pressured her, the fact he wanted her to live her dream. The sex scenes were smoking hot and fit with the story, it didn't feel rushed. The descriptions of Italy were wonderful and really made me want to visit, more than I did already.

This dual narration from Joe Arden and Megan Tusing was brilliant. Their voices really complemented each other, Joe's gruffness and Megan's sweetness really made it a wonderful listen, it was a genius pair-up. The Italian, swoon, can we take a second to just admire Joe and Megan's Italian? Because seriously, it was fantastic. Joe Arden was the perfect choice for Quinn. His tone was just how I imagined it would be. Megan was wonderful as Alessandra, sweet and sexy. This is one duo that everyone should be listening to. The production was great with no issues I noted.

At the end of TLT is a clip of Dirty Little Secret, performed by Zachary Webber & Megan Tusing. Which will whet your appetite for the series if you haven't listened to it yet.

I adored Shame, so much. I still cannot get that book and its characters out of my head. I'll be doing something and all of a sudden a thought will pop into my mind about them. It was such a beautiful love story filled with longing, heartache, acceptance, and happiness. How could I possibly let myself forget about it? So I was super excited to find out that Fiona had released a novella continuing their story. More of these awesome characters? Yes, please! Even though I was lucky, I finished Shame and 12 hours later I was diving into Make It to the Altar. Fiona Cole's writing is so captivating, she grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let them go, she's also a big meanie, like this poor couple has not been through enough, come on!
This was such as cute little novella. Although Shame is a complete book and it ends well, it's nice to have this glimpse into their happy ever after. Of course, things are not smooth sailing for them. One disaster after another strikes and Ana is crumbling under the stress and Kevin, bless his heart, is doing his best to support her, but eventually, he has to take charge, only in his dominance can Ana truly relax and let the stresses go. I am still in awe of these characters and in love with them and their story. I think I could read about them for months and not get bored. I love the dynamic of their relationship and seeing them living their lives with the acceptance of who they are and what they desire is just beautiful.
Just like with Shame, the sex scenes are off the charts hot. But they're positioned in a way that makes it so easy to see that that is how a couple would be and the sex fit with their story. None of it was overdone. The little mention of things that happened in Shame was a lovely addition and I think if I had left it longer to read this book I'd want to dive right back in and re-read Shame. If Shame ever gets an audiobook (pretty please with Kevin on top) Make It to the Altar would work wonderfully being added at the end as an extended epilogue.

**Note: This book also contains a short story that was posted online. Earn It. Earn It is a super-fast read that will have you swooning and panting in no time. You'll definitely have a big smile on your face when you get to the end.

I didn't really know what to expect from this book, it had been recommended to me and I thought the synopsis sounded interesting but apart from that, I knew nothing about it and therefore didn't have any expectations going in. Holy crap! This book is AMAZING! Seriously, it blew me away. The story is told in three parts, and it's almost like reading three different genres because the story covers so much of the lives of this couple. I was mesmerised by this couple and what they were going through and experiencing. I felt every heartache, every happiness, every thing. It was like I was there with them. Ana and Kevin have carved a place in my heart. Fiona Cole writes so beautifully. Fiona is like the dominant person in this story, and the readers are the submissive. She enforces her words onto us and we willingly give up control knowing she'll take good care of us. This book contains subjects that are tackled with thought and understanding. Her words are raw, and deep, and addictive. Once I started reading I just didn't want to stop. I really liked this cover, it was different and pretty.

Let's talk about the characters for a second. My God! Where to begin? Ana and Kevin are ALL THE THINGS. I adored them, they are the type of characters that you become attached to and never want to leave. They each have their demons that they're fighting, and it makes them even stronger for doing so. Sometimes it takes them longer than the reader (and other characters) hopes it'll take. I cringed at Kevin, I threw a ‘really?' question at Ana, and a host of other emotions passed over my face and words out of my mouth as we spend 10 years with them. In the first part of the book Kevin is a young man discovering himself and his desires, and they scare him...a lot, and watching him come to terms and accept that about himself was both beautiful and heartbreaking, as the story progresses we see Ana struggle with some of those same issues but for different reasons and that too is heartbreaking. But with acceptance comes the beauty. We're introduced to some characters in the first part of the book that you think you're going to hate but end up loving, and those you thought you'd love and you end up hating. I loved that about it.

Ana and Kevin's relationship spans the course of 10 years. From friends to lovers, they experience so much. From the last years of high school to college, to their adult lives. They're there for each other in the best ways they can be. I just can't get enough of this couple. The draw they have to one another is electric. I dare anybody not to be affected by it. I loved their banter, you believed that they were the best of friends. The physical side of their relationship is smoking hot. Seriously, I gotta check my kindle for scorch marks. There is a lot of sex but it all fits in with the story being told, none of it is misplaced or used as a filler or for shock purposes. Each scene is used to progress the story and explain more about their desires and how it affects them. This book is filled with angst, it made me cry, it made me want to throw my kindle, and at times it gutted me - ‘I'll be your normal', however, it is also uplifting, and happy, and sexy. It literally has everything.

This book has my heart, and it has my soul, I happily gave them up to this story. I don't know if I'll ever get them back, and I don't really care. This book is going to stay with me for a very long time. It was a pleasure to read and I'm super excited to dive into the follow-up novella.

**Note: This book contains a lot of sex, and rough sex at that, if you do not like that sort of thing this book may not be for you. However, what I will say is that this book is built on consent, learning how to deal with your feelings and wants and desires. Anybody that doesn't understand the dynamics of this sort of relationship can learn a lot from experiencing Ana and Kevin's story.

This was the first book of Penny Wylder that I've read and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm going to have to read more. It was cute and sexy and funny. It was written and paced really well. I read it in one sitting as I just didn't want to put it down. I loved that it was a different take on this trope. It was a quick and easy read. It had a sweet feel to the story, you really wanted these two to make it work beyond the baby aspect. I laughed out loud on a number of occasions while reading. The cover is great, it really catches the eye.

I loved these characters. They really wormed their way into my heart. I loved Cannon, he was such a sweetheart. You really got the impression that he would have agreed to anything for Rina, that although he didn't realise it to begin with, he loved her and wanted her to be happy. He was also downright sexy, he could be my roommate anytime! I really liked Rina, she was intelligent and knew what she wanted and went after it. You could tell how important Cannon was to her. She's the type of girl you wanna be friends with.

I loved the relationship, they were good friends and I think that showed, and their chemistry once they decided to go ahead with the baby making plan was evident. I liked that they were both professional people, although some of their office antics would question that HAHA. I may have wanted to crash their heads together at times and shout at them to just tell each other how they were feeling, especially when they weren't following their own advice. The sexy times were incredibly sexy and written well, they weren't forced and worked with the pacing of the story. I loved the ending, it was the sweetest thing and left me feeling all toasty inside.

This was my first Kennedy Fox book, but I can assure you it won't be my last. I didn't really know what to expect. I figured it would be a sexy read, and it was, but it was also so much more. I wasn't expecting the emotional side of the story, that kinda hit me out of left field. It made the story so much more powerful than I ever anticipated, I'll be honest, I was shopping while listening and I shed a few tears. It's also funny, I laughed out loud more than a few times. I loved how Kennedy Fox wrote this book, the pacing was on point, not too fast, but also most definitely not a slow burn. If you love insta-lust stories that have heart, this is the book for you. I really liked the cover, I think it's a good representation of Ethan and the beginning of the story. Personally, I'd have liked to have seen the narrators noted on it as well.

I enjoyed these characters, they were such a joy to spend time with. This story had great supporting characters, Nora and Aunt Millie were wonderful additions. They really stood out and gave the story character. Ethan was a great male lead, he had it all; the sexiness, the gruff attitude, the swooniness, and of course, he was the damaged guy that only Vada could make whole, honestly, his backstory is heartbreaking. Thank heavens for Vada. His choice in bed partners before Vada was questionable, I'll admit at one point I was biting my lip hoping the reveal wasn't true...because that would suck, lucky Ethan wasn't a douche. Vava was awesome, I adored her. I wanted to go hang out with her and be her friend. I felt bad that she didn't really have anyone and the reasons for it. She was feisty and smart. She gave as good as she got, which I loved. I liked that she was a writer. She frustrated me a little, but I get she was protecting herself, so that made it alright. The animals were a big part of this story and they were brilliant.

I loved how Ethan and Vada's relationship started and progressed through the story. At times I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I thought the HEA was upon us and then realised the audiobook had over 2 hours to go, that was a WTF moment I can tell you, but, Kennedy Fox is a genius and it worked really well, I was hooked and wondering how and what was going to happen next. The sexy times, to which there are a good few, as you would expect for bedtime reading, were written incredibly well and worked with the story. None of them ever felt forced or out of place. My second WTF moment came when I heard the words ‘One Year Later' seriously, I shouted the words, because why? Why would that happen? But, it did happen, and again it worked well for the story, so all is forgiven and I got my HEA. Praise the writing gods!

This dual narration was performed wonderfully by Joe Arden and CJ Bloom, it wasn't a particularly long book, however, I thought they both fit the parts really well and their voices complemented each other, better than I thought they would when I saw their names connected with the audiobook. It was a lovely surprise.

I think this might be my favourite CJ Bloom performance. She really brought Vada to life, she performed her in a way to make the listener connect with her on a level they may not have done while reading the book. Her feelings shone through during the performance and I loved that about it. I really enjoyed her portrayal of the accents and different characters, each one seemed unique and fitting for the character it was for. She also nailed both the sexy and emotional parts of the story.

Joe Arden was the embodiment of Ethan Rochester, at no point did I sit back and think, nope, this voice doesn't fit, he was the character. The inflections and accents used really enhanced the performance and gave each character a distinct sound. Although this book is hot on sexy times, the emotional aspects of this story really shone through and those were the standout moments of Joe's performance for me. Although don't get me wrong, the sexy times were performed, well... sexily, for lack of a better word. JA definitely doesn't disappoint. Lastly, I need to take a second to talk about Joe's southern drawl in this book...swoon, it was fantastic, to this Brit anyway. I'm a sucker for the southern drawl, I'm not gonna lie...the southern drawl is like the English accent to Americans. In other words, it's a swoonfest just waiting to happen. The production was great with no issues that I noted.

This audiobook was published by a new audiobook imprint called AudiOMG! You should definitely look into more of their titles.

Kendall Ryan is trying to break me! I had a feeling this book was going to be an emotional rollercoaster for me and it was. It hit me in all the feel. I think anybody that's ever tried to conceive and not been successful, at least the first time is going to identify with Jenna, the main character. It was handled so beautifully, so realistically that I just, having been in a similar situation, it just hit me, in all the feels I guess, and I think Kendall put a lot of heart and soul into that aspect of the story. I felt like I was there with Jenna, that her lows were my own and her highs, well, I got to experience them with her too. It was beautiful. It still has all the hilarious and sexy stuff that you, which is great, but the emotional aspect, for me at least, put this above the others I've read, I think it might be my favourite Kendall book to date, I know I'm a little behind, but after reading a good few, I think it's probably my favourite. I love Kendall's writing, it's smooth and captivating and doesn't drag. If there is a scene it's because that scene makes sense to the story, that scene is going to move the story along, it's not filler, there isn't a lot of that in Kendall's books, it's not just there to increase the word count. Each scene has a purpose. I love that, and it makes it easy to read.

Not everyone is going to like the insta-lust aspect of this story, and you know what? That's totally fine, everyone likes different things, I actually really liked it in this book because to me it made sense for these characters to meet and start their relationship that way. This book has all the feels. I'm still thinking about it, I loved it so much. The cover, swoon, holy forearms! Oh, my days! I have stared a little too much at this cover just gazing at the forearms, this might be my favourite Kendall cover yet. And, of course, I love that it includes the narrators names. I like to see at a glance who is going to be entertaining me.

These characters are great in this book, the way they interact, obviously, it's hilarious because Kendall does humour very well. Some of the things that happened whether it's the way the characters interact or how situations unfold is really funny, but it still has that emotional aspect to it. Jenna and Emmett are all the things. I adored them together, they made such a perfect couple from early on. Of course, if they realised that it would have been a super quick book. Haha. I loved how they interacted with each other, it was light-hearted and funny, but also sweet with a deeper connection. The sexy times were super sexy. Jenna was a strong independent woman, she knew what she wanted, and she made plans to make it happen, I loved that about her. She's the type of character you wanna be friends with, I actually saw a lot of myself in her and that made this a very different experience for me. A great one, but different. Some of the aspects of this book hit close to home. Emmett was such a sweetheart, I loved him, the way he was with Jenna was sexy and sweet. Everybody needs an Emmett in their lives, a man that will allow them to be themselves but also take care of them. There is a twist/ conflict, which I'm not going to talk about much, just to say, we know what the twist is, but the characters don't, when it comes to light, I'll be honest, I wanted to punch Emmett in the balls because he didn't handle that the best he could, it was resolved quickly and not dragged out. The ending was everything I hoped it would be.

This dual narration by Sebastian York and Virginia Rose was wonderful. Their voices complemented each other well. They give these characters life and really nail it. You just get lost in the story. Virginia Rose was absolutely fantastic. Her performance was beautiful. Her male voice is swoon-worthy, and I thought her performance of Jenna was fantastic, she conveyed her tough but vulnerable personality perfectly. I loved the emotion she showed and the ease of which she switched between different characters and situations. It was a pleasure to listen to and I look forward to hearing more. When I found out Sebastian York was one of the narrators, I was kinda like, again? I like his performances, I mean, who doesn't? King of Aural Sex and all that, but, I guess you get over-saturated with voices sometimes, but I liked his performance, a lot. It was a sweeter narration style, than normal, at least I thought so, and I thoroughly enjoyed that. Emmett is a sweet character, sure he has the cocky, sexiness about him, but with Jenna he was always sweet, and I liked that, and that came across in Sebastian's performance. If you've ever listened to a Sebastian York performance, he delivers, every time.
The production had no issues that I noted.

I hate Sierra Simone, why did I even read this book? I thought I was getting some sexy time, I did not expect to have my heart ripped out of my chest. I kid you not, I was literally (and I mean that in the correct usage of the word) sat sobbing in the bath, my husband thought somebody had died! Sheesh, I thought AK did a number on me. All joking aside, the joke being that I hate Sierra, I don't really hate her, she's a freaking writing genius! She makes you think you're getting one thing and so beautifully weaves her words that you get immersed in the story and get something else... something more. I knew this book was going to be good, what I didn't know was that it was going to be amazing. That it would carve a spot in my heart, that it was going to touch me in ways that I least expected. If you read Priest and enjoyed it, you'll love Sinner, if you read Priest and thought it wasn't for you, I urge you to give Sinner a try, I think you'll find this a little more to your taste.

One of the things about this book that I loved, because it's from Sean's POV and it's called Sinner, I dunno, I just assumed he was going to be the instigator, that he's the bad man that corrupted the sweet little nun, and that's what Sierra does, she makes you have a preconceived idea about the book so you go in thinking one thing and then BAM! She blindsides you with something completely different. Can we take a second to appreciate the gloriousness of this book cover?

This book is filled with characters that you can't help but love... and hate. I like the little glimpses of Aiden Bell and my theory about him was correct, yay, I was worried I'd not get confirmation about that, but I guess Sierra decided she was causing enough issues for my emotional state lol. I hated Valdman and Northcutt... a lot, like, I wanted to punch them in the balls sort of hate.

So, about Sean Bell. I liked him, like, a lot, from the get-go. He always seemed like a sweetheart to me. The way he cared for his family and the way he was with Zenny. I loved his terms of endearment and pet names for Zenny. In my mind, I wanted to find ‘Zenny-bug' annoying and condescending, but in reality, I thought it was cute. It became something that was uniquely them. Zenny Iverson is awesome. I loved her as a character and as a woman. She knew her own mind and went after what she wanted. She gave poor Sean a run for his money. She was shy, yet bold, beautiful and intelligent. She brought Sean to his knees without ever really trying.

Now, about that sexy time. This is Sierra Simone we're talking about, she's not going to let us down in that department, and she doesn't. The scenes are scorching. Each made perfect sense to the story and built the connection between Sean and Zenny, it was beautifully done. PSA don't read in public - it could cause for some very awkward moments.

This book was a lot of things and touched on a few different issues, each was treated with such beauty and grace that reading this book caused a very emotional reaction in me. If you've ever lost a family member or been subjected to racism or any kind of bullying, this book may cause an emotional reaction in you too. It's done so beautifully, but heartbreakingly too.

I'm just going to say this once, Sierra, please, for all that is holy, tell me Aiden is getting a book? I need it, he needs it. Just give it to us!!!!!! Pretty please with Sean and Tyler Bell on top!!!!

This was my first Melissa Foster book and it won't be my last. I enjoyed the overall story, I did feel that some things were rather repetitive and a few lines in the story made me sit up and think ‘say what?' But, I'm sure that's personal taste, others may actually like it. It wasn't enough to make me stop listening, or prevent me from listening to more. I liked Melissa's writing style, it was quick and easy to follow.

Dex and Ellie are a cute couple, I really liked them, they've been friends for a long time, Dex has always wanted more but whenever he gets close Ellie is either taken or runs away from him. Meeting again as adults he's concerned about protecting his heart, which is understandable. Ellie had a tough childhood, moving from foster placement to foster placement, she only ever felt safe with Dex, she's accustomed to running but seeing the effect that has on Dex really makes her start to sit up and take notice. They've loved each other for a long time and waste no time sinking into a relationship. It was sweet to watch unfold and I dare you not to empathise with Ellie. There is a little drama but, to be honest, it's pretty much over by the time it starts. The sexy times are written well and make sense to the story and progress it along nicely.

B.J. Harrison was new to me and I don't know if it's because he was new or I just didn't connect with his performance, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed books in the past. At first, he sounded almost British, which threw me off, I couldn't understand why. As the book progressed and I got used to his style of narration, I did enjoy it more, but it still wasn't a performance that jumped out at me. I felt the way Regina was performed was entirely too whiny and almost, insulting, which did not fit the character at all. I did enjoy the emotion that came across from Dex, that was done well.

You've been following Amy Daws on social media, right? So you know her Tires Tires Tires Story? No? Oh boy. It's hilarious and I was super excited when I heard Amy was inspired to write a book based on some of her experiences. Wait With Me did not disappoint, it was hilarious and cute, sweet and sexy. It was such a joy to read. It's the type of book that you recommend to a friend if they've had a rough few weeks, it really is a fun and uplifting story. I'm loving this cover too.

If you did follow Amy's journey some moments in WWM will jump out at you and make you chuckle as you remember them. I remember laughing when she posted about receiving the letter, and the pizza, and a few other moments, reading about them in the book made them even funnier, mainly because they were steeped in reality. I love Amy's writing, it really does captivate the reader and pull them into the world she is creating and makes them want to put their feet up and never leave.

The characters in this book are fabulous. Dean? oh my, somebody get that book boyfriend a book already. I'm told you're not supposed to swoon at a secondary character, but what do they know? Just read his description and try not to swoon, I dare you!
Miles Hudson is a sexy mechanic, I loved him, he had a little baggage from a previous relationship but not too much, he was always so sweet to Kate, I liked his flirting ways. His jealousy was quite endearing and definitely made sense after all he'd been subjected too.
Kate Smith was so much fun, I loved her as a character, she was something special. Every time she said or did something misleading I shook my head and thought ‘Kate, girl, stop, back away slowly, this is going to bite you in the behind' and of course, she didn't listen. I understood her reasons though, it made sense to me, I had my fingers crossed throughout that she'd get her HEA, because if anyone deserves it it's a romance writer who gives so much pleasure to so many readers.

Kate and Miles are perfection together, they're such a cute couple. I loved how their research came together. Watching them spend time getting to know each other and falling for each other and fighting against it. The sexy times were pretty darn sexy and fit with the timing of the story. Their banter was great and worked really well for them as a couple. The ending was everything I hoped it would be. Now, about Dean's book?

I have to say, this review isn't the best, I can't do this book justice, nothing I write could begin to express how much I loved it, how much it meant to me to spend time with these characters. It's beautiful.

I loved Three Blind Dates, loved it, however, this book, this book is better. Yep, I said it, the second book in the series is better than the first. GASP! Insert shocked face here It's a complete standalone. Meghan Quinn takes a funny storyline and makes it so much more. The way this book is written makes it so special. I expected the humour, I didn't expect the emotional connection. This is a romantic comedy, it's hilarious, I'm talking laugh out loud funny, what I didn't expect was to cry, and by cry, I mean sob. Why you ask? Without going into too much detail... because, spoilers, it's because I can relate to Rylee and what her thought process and feelings are so much that it's just instinctual to cry - for her, for what she's going through and for myself. More often than not a subject comes up in a book and a quick fix is used to get the couple their HEA, that wasn't the case here, Meghan went and in just a paragraph, maybe two, showed the obstacles and restrictions they would come across and I adored that, it was real. She didn't just give them the HEA without showing the difficulties it could and would involve, but, before you hit those panic buttons, it does include a HEA.

We first met Beck Wilder in Three Blind Dates, he was The Rebel. Although I liked him well enough, he wasn't my choice in that book. Clearly, I knew he was destined for bigger and better things. He is perfect for Rylee and she was perfect for him. He's sexy and funny, he's sweet and endearing. I dare you not to swoon over him. He was just, sigh, he was lovely. The final few chapters just, wow, it was a swoonfest. His outlook on life is refreshing and made for an interesting backdrop to the storyline, his backstory was eluded to but took time to come to light, I really liked that about it, and once it did, his insecurity over telling Rylee was an important part of the story. Rylee Ryan was such a fantastic character, I think so many people are going to be able to relate to her. At one particular part I was sobbing and shouting ‘I see you and I hear you and I feel you. I GET IT!!!' of course, as more details came to light it was different, it became something more than even I thought it would, it was heart-breaking. She is brave, sweet and funny. Beautiful, and strong. She's the type of person you can imagine being friends with.

Their story is one of beauty. It's funny and sexy, and sweet and full of acceptance and understanding. It's also heart-breaking and uplifting. It filled my heart with happiness and I didn't want it to end. I loved that is was more of a slow burn and we really got to experience their relationship change and grow as time went on. The banter between Beck and Rylee was pure perfection, it worked really well and fit the characters perfectly. The sexual tension between them was palpable and made it even sexier when they finally did get together, steam level – off the charts. I liked that the conflict between them didn't last too long, and it wasn't drawn out. It had its place and good reasoning, it wasn't just for the sake of it. The supporting characters in this book are wonderful, honestly, I want books for all of them. I want more from Victoria, from Griffin, I want Chris and Justine's story, I want Zoey and Art's story. They're the greatest friends a person could really ask for, I'm kinda jealous. They were all so meaningful and memorable that you can't help but wonder what their stories would be.
