🎙Narrators: Andi Louise & Joe Arden 🎙

The more I hear of Andi's and Joe's voices the more I am loving them with each different inflection they take. I haven't listened to a lot of Andi but she truly embodies the characters that she voices. It would be so hard to meet her without thinking of the people I have listened to her voice. 

🎙 I was weary of Joe in the beginning of my listening journey with him, but he is growing on me more and more. I am so glad that they were chosen for Claire & Beau, because now it is hard for me to imagine them with any other voices!

📚✨️ ON TO THE REVIEW ✨️📚

This is the first I have 📚 read/ 🎧 listened to Lexie and I am so sad that it took me this long! I am a HUGE sucker 😍 for ⚕️ medical ❤️ romances (HELLO GREY”S ANATOMY...yes I'm looking at you.) Between 🏥 E.R. and Grey's Anatomy 🏥 there was that spark in the ⚕️ medical world ⚕️ that truly made me feel some type of way. I am not even the least bit sorry for it, but I cringe 😬 for all the medically incorrect scenes and moments that makes the medical community look that way. I have enough family and friends in the medical field that give me a certain look 😆. What can I say? 

I appreciate that Lexi is in the ⚕️ medical field ⚕️ and made sure that everything was up to par like it would be in the real world 🌎. I love that she loves her profession enough that she centers this series in it! 

💖 Claire 💖 and 🖤 Beau 🖤 gave me all the goosebumps and squeals!! I absolutely LOVED these two! I was so sad at the end of the audio because I wasn't prepared for the CLIFFHANGER of all cliffhangers 😥. Of course I knew there would be one but it hit me a totally different way! 

💖 Claire 💖 was the sister that wasn't like everyone else, she didn't have a job in the medical field. 💖 She 💖 wasn't a ⚕️ doctor, or working her way through medical school 🏥. 💖 Claire 💖 was always the different one, but her mom made sure that she knew how she truly felt about 💖 Claire 💖. On one of the last days she lived, she told 💖 Claire 💖 that she was exactly the way she had always prayed 💖 Claire 💖 would be. 

I bawled 😭😭😭 my eyes out after hearing this! I couldn't imagine how 💖 Claire 💖 felt as her mom told her that. Not only was 💖 Claire 💖 struggling with her mom being sick, but then her mom comes in with this ✨️ BANGER ✨️ of a statement. There is nothing more validating than having someone much less a parent tell you that you are perfect just the way you are. 

As the ineveitable happens 💖 Claire 💖 struggles with the loss of her mother. Even 💙 Parker 💙 comes and speaks to 💖 her 💖 about how she has been after the fact. I know that 💖 Claire 💖 dealt with her mother's death the way she knew how to, it was a way for her to step out of her grief, even if it was brief in time. Shopping 🛍 was a small high and would take her mind away from the pain and sorrow that she was experiencing 😢.

🖤 BAD BOY BEAU 🖤 enters the chat. Okay well he was in the chat before 😆.  🖤 Beau 🖤 is definitely the forbidden bad boy that your brother warns you against, literally. But who listens to big brothers? Pshhhh not always the ones that should. But 💙 Parker's 💙 warning ⚠️ was nothing short of wrong. What 💙 Parker 💙 thought 🖤 Beau 🖤 was still like after those years, was completely wrong. Esepcially when it came to 💖 Claire 💖.

🖤 Beau 🖤 was the one person who didn't see 💖 Claire 💖 as the one who didn't want to be like her siblings. 💖 She 💖 just hasn't found her way, and he didn't care one bit that she wasn't in the same place with a career. 🖤 He 🖤 saw her for exactly who 💖 she 💖 was, beautiful. He couldn't help but feel some type of way when it came to 💖 Claire 💖.

I loved their chemistry ⚗️  and how 🖤 Beau 🖤 made 💖 her 💖 feel. Special in a completely different way than what her mother told her. 🖤 Beau 🖤 showed 💖 her 💖 that she was worth so much more than 💖 she 💖 believed. 

They fell so hard and fast. It didn't take much for them both to feel what was really happening. After 🖤 Beau 🖤 hears 💙 Parker 💙 say that he is the last one 💖 Claire 💖 to be with, it rocks 🖤 him 🖤. Which it would have rocked me too. 🖤 Beau 🖤 knows that 💙 Parker 💙 doesn't truly know who he is in that sense anymore, just that thats how 💙 Parker 💙 sees him. 

💖 Claire 💖 and 🖤 Beau 🖤 fight for each other and there is nothing more refreshing than to see their love continue to grow. I couldn't get enough of these two so I have to continue the series!!!

✨️ 📚  🎧 ALC 🎧 REVIEW ✨️

🎙Narrators: Blair Thatcher & Sean Masters 🎙

I didn't think that Blair and Sean could have made this book any better than it was, but here I am being all kinds of wrong. I loved these two as Anastasia and Psycho, they legit gave me goosebumps when the story really started to kick off!! Sean has been on my radar and I have yet to find something he narrates that I don't LOVE ❤️.  And this book is no different!

Anastasia and Massimo couldn't have been more of a thunderstorm turned tornado. It went from zero to 100 in no time! Anastasia was hell bent on having revenge on the people she thought was at behest of her father's death. 

I loved that she was willing to do anything to have that peace of mind. Even when she was at her worst she refused to give up. I felt so many emotions when I was listening. We go from anger to admiration to love for this beautiful woman. She desrved so much better than the life she was handed. 

Anastasia has been through hell and she refused to go then and she won't go now. I truly felt for her all the way throughout this story. There wasn't a time that I wasn't living on bated breath for the next thing to happen. I defiitely felt like I needed a nap after reading this! It was a roller coaster of feelings and thoughts racing through my brain. 

Psycho was the one that I didn't think I would like as much as I do! This whole story I kept thinking I never thought Psycho would be right next to Reaper in my faves! He was literally a PSYCHO, unhinged and in all his glory! I loved his growlly nature, like he is a porcupine! 

Mossimo was the unhinged man so many women would ☠️ to be in his realm. But he truly showed his vengeance and all the anger that fueled it. Mossimo knew his limites and refuse to budge on what he wanted. Until those hard limits were thrown for a loop with a big SAY LESS to Mossimo's life. Psycho was definitely psycho, but he sure didn't know how hard he was gone for Anastasia. 

Seeing how these two were dancing with each other I couldn't help but lelt my brain run free for a minute trying to figure out what would happen! Seeing these two at the end of a major life change was such a bittersweet moment!

🎙Narrators: CJ Bloom & Sean Masters 🎙

I truly love CJ and Sean. They have become some of my favorite narrators! I love that they always have the perfect timber and chemistry even though they aren't truly talking to each other. BUUTTTT they made he listening experience wonderful!

On To The 📚 Book 📚 Review:

Gabriel is the delicious alphahole that refused to do whatever he didn't want to do. But he sure had a way about himself when he was down on his knees when he groveled. Gabriel was the alphahole that truly did whatever he had to do to make their relationship work. Even though they missed out on those 7 years, he wanted to make sure he didn't miss more time! 

Grace has a whiney tone to her sometimes, which I hate to admit. But I truly liked her as a character. When she got hit with the surprise of a lifetime she was definitely faced with a hard decision. Gabriel went his way and she went hers.

This definitely had some of the best funny banter! I truly enjoyed laughing while these two and seeing their chemistry and angst that was apparent but so palpable. The angst that was rampant all through the book was something that you couldn't miss. 

I am a sucker for the secret baby trope and this one was a true SEPERATION! Through the 7 year seperation they wasted so much time & with no contact was the biggest kicker!! That would have been the hardest 7 years. I don't know how she did it! But she definitely desrved a major award for all of that time alone! It's crazy to think there was a 14 year span total for this book!

The only thing that I wasn't truly a fan of was that there is no notice for the time jumps. I need a warning before going into the next time jump because it can be a bit confusing!

✨️ 📚 Book 📖 REVIEW ✨️

I started this as a lead up to True Honey and I couldn't have felt more feelings throughout this WHOLE book 😢. I kept asking myself if I was going to get a break from allll the feels I had, finally I got some giggles and squeals to round everything out!

Ella was such a strong woman! She had been through some SERIOUS trauma! Not just regular shmegular stuff, but she really struggled with PTSD. I couldn't help but feel some type of way 😕. But I loved that she was willing to work through her trauma! But she was more than willing to help everyone around her, so that she could have them in her life. 

Arlo, Bless this man. He had some serious issues within his family, but was willing to be the one to take it all so that someone else he loved wouldn't have to.  I loved that he was so in love with Ella, and would do anything for her. 

I couldn't stop having feels about these two and what they have had to go through collectively!  They have been through so much, but still stand strong! I'm excited to see them throughout the rest of the series!

✨️ 📚ARC 📖 / 🎧 ALC 🎧 REVIEW ✨️

🎙Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin & Connor Crais 🎙

I feel like everytime I hear 🎙 Vanessa or Connor 🎙 its going to be an amazing book! Their voices together are just ✨️ MAGIC ✨️! I don't know how else to explain that they are the top tier 💯 of narrators for me!! I will listen to them voice ANYTHING even if its a grocery list, heck I would even listen if it was shampoo ingredients 😆! 

🎙 Vanessa 🎙 has such an amazing talent when it comes to encompassing her characters, whether main or supporting. She never ceases to amaze me, between Emma being 4, older women in the cast and lets not forget Chloe! I  loved hearing her throughout all of the roles she played. I am so beyond excited to listen something else she has narrated.

🎙 Connor 🎙 is as always such a joy to listen to! He like 🎙 Vanessa 🎙 can make any audiobook sound AMAZING! I will always reach for anything he voices, because he just has a way about his work that always astounds me. I truly loved hearing him bring 🔥 Xander 🚒 to life along with the other supporting characters!! 

📝 On To The Review 📝

I don't know where to even begin when it comes to 🔥 Xander 🚒, 🦄 Emma 🦄 & 🗺 Chloe 🗺. Not because I didn't enjoy them by any means, but because I loved 😍😍😍 them sooo much! Let me start with first impressions, newly single 🔥 Xander 🚒 trying to find his way with 🦄 Emma 🦄 and find their new groove. All I could think was BLESS IT 🫶🏻. He was struggling so hard but not because he wasn't trying! 🔥 Xander 🚒 was trying everything he could think of but it just wasn't. It was lacking that fun element, or 🗺 Chloe 🗺 and the ✨️ magic ✨️ she brought with her.

🗺 Chloe 🗺 was someting he couldn't have ever dreamed up. She was just that amazing and special ✨️. I loved her from the first scene and thought OH S%!T, I'm like her 😆 ! I loved how she looked at everything. She looked at everything from a younger heart ❤️ perspective! I have alwasy been told those who have a young heart ❤️ are the ones that never truly got to enjoy their childhood. Unfortunately that statement is truer than I ever wanted to admit. 

🗺 Chloe 🗺 craved and longed to have a family that accepted her for who she is, but refused to be left behind so she left instead. She also had a case of ✨️🗺 WANDERLUST 🗺✨️. She wanted to see so much but couldn't setttle long enough to find her tribe. 🗺 Chloe 🗺 more than found her tribe when it came to 🔥 Xander 🚒 and 🦄 Emma 🦄 along with their large family. Just when you stop looking they find you, and 🗺 Chloe 🗺 lucked into the best family to accidentally fall into! 

I loved seeing 🗺 Chloe 🗺 grow in this role she took on, she was FLOURISHING!! She grew into who she was truly meant to be! I  loved seeing how her relationship with 🦄 Emma 🦄 grew into something she never anticipated! She was such a natural with her and 🦄 Emma 🦄 knew deep in her heart that 🗺 Chloe 🗺 was the mom she needed! The love shared between them was so precious! If you have neevr experienced that kind of ❤️ love ❤️ I hope you do some day!

🔥 Xander 🚒 was this 😠 grumpy 😠 DADDY who was just falling into his new role of not just father but also 🔥 fire chief 🚒 . He knew nothing about 🦄 Emma 🦄 other than she was his at 4 and he had missed so much in her life. He felt the guilt that racked him daily because he had missed all of that time. I was so glad that 🗺 Chloe 🗺 could show him that it wasn't his fault. He was ❌️ robbed ❌️ of that time from 🦄 Emma 🦄's mom. It was 🦄 Emma 🦄 mom's responsibility to make him aware of her. I couldn't help but feel for him when he was trying everything he knew of to help the situation, but still not thriving. 🔥 Xander 🚒 was the grumpy 😠 man most women 💭 dream 💭 about because he was established at 🔥 Fire Chief 🔥 and had a family of GOLD! 

When 🔥 Xander 🚒 was able to relax a little and see 🗺 Chloe 🗺 and 🦄 Emma 🦄 together. He was able to see his little girl thrive when 🗺 Chloe 🗺 was around. 🔥 Xander 🚒 truly had that certain air about him that was sooo sexy!!! He was finally able to see 👀 🗺 Chloe 🗺 for who she was. The attraction was ridiculous and the tension was PALPABLE. It was like they finally collided and it was the perfect ⛈️ storm ⛈️ for all of them. I loved seeing him notice the small things at first then take in the larger picture. Between the sweatshirt they shared and the stolen moments after 🦄 Emma 🦄 went to bed, were 👌 THE BEST 👌!! 

I loved seeing 🔥 Xander 🚒 and 🗺 Chloe 🗺 flourish TOGETHER! It truly made this story that much better!! I could have easily read a 650 page book 📚 about them!

✨️📚 ARC 📚 REVIEW✨️

Dominic, Emerson and Liliana were the trio that just worked. If you have ever wondered how does that work? This was them. Unknowingly, they came together to be the throuple that made waves everywhere they went together. 

I truly loved their dynamic, and wondered how does it all work behind the scenes? That is a question I feel like so many other people ask, and I know that fiction doesn't always portray what really happens but it is always something I know people who aren't in this kind of relationship asks.

I truly appreciate that Tilly & SR included mental health representation within this book! Mental Health rep is such a huge thing that is needed in more books! Without our mental health we would be in a not so great place. I
 also truly appreciate that they included family that was sooo inviting to their children's partners! There is nothing more refreshing than to see that someone's parents welcomes them no matter what!!! 
 
I truly loved this book and can't wait to read the first 2 along with what comes next!!!

🎙Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor & Jason Clarke 🎙

When two of your favorite narrators come together and bring you an amazing story, you don't ask questions! You literally go with the flow and see where it takes you! I will forever be a Jason Clark and Samantha Brentmoor STAN! They are always bringing the most for the characters they narrate. Samantha and Jason really gave me all the couple vibes!! I loved that these two can always bring the most to the story! 

Maren was in the roughest place in her life and refused to back down fromt he challenge it brought. Instead of succumbing to the storm that surrounded her, she took some time away and was able to spend time with Charlie and figure out where she wanted to be. I give her SOOO many kudos because this woman literally dealt with a dick of a husband! He refused to even have the courtesy to tell her he loved her. 

Which in itself speaks VOLUMES! If he isn't willing to tell you that he loves you that says all I ever needed to know! Everytime she had a conversationw ith him I would cringe on the inside and Immedicately want to RAGE on him! Like she hadn't been through enough, he continued to show no remorse or care for her. I absolutely loved it when she told him what he could do with all of his anger he threw at her constantly. 

Charlie truly was in a place that he was going to sell the house his mother left him. He didn't want to deal with the pain that he knew it was going to be. But what he didn't expect was Maren showing up to help him. They had always had a good relationship but she was able to show him that what he thought wasn't worth it truly was! Maren showed him that even though he didn't want to deall with the house and his feelings regarding the house, that he needed to deal with the loss of his mother.

That feminine influence that he needed was no longer there, but Maren was able to show him that just because you lose one person you can gain another. I am usually not a step-brother romance lover because I have 2 step-brothers. YUCKKKKK. But this was nothing that ever would give me the ICK! I really enjoyed the organic way that Charlie and Maren came together to renovate the house. But that wasn't the only thing they renovated, their relationship was something that they didn't want to go to waste.

Taking the opportunity that they had they were able to explore what was there. That exploration was GLORIOUS!!! Maren and Charlie couldn't have been more perfect for each other! They were what each other needed in life. And I would be so upset if I didn't tell you how much I loved the paranormal aspect of the book!! I am a HUGE lover of the paranormal 👻 and seeing it in a romance book was the best!!

I absolutely cannot wait for th enext book in the series!!! Elizabeth you have created a whole new monster 😆.

✨️ 📚ARC 📖 REVIEW ✨️

I wanted to love this book with my whole heart ❤️.  Unfortunately, this 📚 book just didn't hit the mark for me. This book 📚 hits harder than expected! I got this as an ARC and usually I scroll right past the ⚠️ WARNINGS ⚠️ and we're GUCCI. I did the same with this one, but it hit different than other times. I don't know what it was but this one was definitely different. 

I don't want to take away from the book 📚, but these are my thoughts while reading. I really wanted this book 📚 to blow 🌬 me away.

I'm going to mirror what I have seen so many other people talk about. This 📚 book has repeated scenes from previous 📚 books, not recaps but full scenes. I feel like the book 📚 being as big as it is, was unecessary. I saw the same thing in Fourth Wing and preceding 📚 books. Same statement but worded differently.  

I also questioned the relationship between ❤️ Delphine and Tyler over the time frame. I feel like ❤️ Delphine used the power dynamic she had over him from being the older more experienced partner. I hate being the person that says it felt like a very predator move on ❤️ her part. We know how sick she ❤️ was mentally and I don't think that whole situation was kosher. Maybe there is a different way I may feel if I read this at a later time.

I will say that Kate's 💖 writing about these characters was something that you can't dismiss. How she writes about them you can tell that 💖 she truly loves these characters, and it shows! I truly liked seeing the snippets of how the King brother's childhood had unfolded to where they are now.

I think I will definitely try to read this again another time!

✨️ 📚 ARC 📖 REVIEW ✨️

As soon as we started getting to know Lottie and Brooks I knew that I was a GONER!! These two are Cowboy Rom Com GOLD 🪙! I loved their chemistry that just oozed from them. We definitely cannot forget about their banter! They made me giggle like a little girl who was just told her crush was truly in LOVE ❤️ with me. I had a little bit of a kick to my legs everytime these two gave me a reason to. 

Can we just say that the banger of a intro is officially my FAVORITE book intro! There is nothing more amazing than when one person doesn't know what happened and they refuse to even think they did what it appears they did. 

Lottie was such a southern sweetheart! I loved how she was the sweetest but also had some fire behind her eyes when she needed it the most. She wasn't afraid of anything, but finding her person was always a scary time. Luckily we had Brooks who was able to come to her rescue from being a little old lady with 50 cats 😆.  

Brooks was down SO BAD for Lottie and she didn't even want to give him the time of day. I couldn't help but feel as if she needed everything he was willing to give her, even if she thought she knew what she wanted and needed. Brooks had a different plan and I couldn't have loved his stipulations when he told Lottie. She may have objected but I refuse to think she didn't already have some kind attraction to him. Playing hard to get is always like catnip to the men that are just asking for it. Yes, those men ask for it in so many ways and don't even realize they are 😆.

I loved how Brooks gave Lottie so much during the dates and outside of them as well. He knew she was the one for him, and refused to give up on her. She just needed to see how much he had to offer her. Brooks gave her a run for her money and I couldn't have asked for a more entertaining ride!

I truly enjoyed this book from the very beginning and was beyond sad when the book was finished! I am so excited to go to the very first book so I can go back to the small town that made me feel like I was at home every time I listened and read.

✨️ 📚 ARC 📖 / 🎧 ALC 🎧 REVIEW ✨️

🎙Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin & Stephen Dexter 🎙

In case you didn't know I am currently in my 🎧 Audiobook ERA, and I'm not even mad about it! I have been EATING up audiobooks left and right and this was no different. I absolutely LOVED Vanessa & Stephen as they gave us Lottie and Brooks. I loved it so much I went and found all of the books they have narrated! I know their part is only half of the work done, but it is just as important to me!

📚 On To The Book Review 📚

As soon as we started getting to know Lottie and Brooks I knew that I was a GONER!! These two are Cowboy Rom Com GOLD 🪙! I loved their chemistry that just oozed from them. We definitely cannot forget about their banter! They made me giggle like a little girl who was just told her crush was truly in LOVE ❤️ with me. I had a little bit of a kick to my legs everytime these two gave me a reason to. 

Can we just say that the banger of a intro is officially my FAVORITE book intro! There is nothing more amazing than when one person doesn't know what happened and they refuse to even think they did what it appears they did. 

Lottie was such a southern sweetheart! I loved how she was the sweetest but also had some fire behind her eyes when she needed it the most. She wasn't afraid of anything, but finding her person was always a scary time. Luckily we had Brooks who was able to come to her rescue from being a little old lady with 50 cats 😆.  

Brooks was down SO BAD for Lottie and she didn't even want to give him the time of day. I couldn't help but feel as if she needed everything he was willing to give her, even if she thought she knew what she wanted and needed. Brooks had a different plan and I couldn't have loved his stipulations when he told Lottie. She may have objected but I refuse to think she didn't already have some kind attraction to him. Playing hard to get is always like catnip to the men that are just asking for it. Yes, those men ask for it in so many ways and don't even realize they are 😆.

I loved how Brooks gave Lottie so much during the dates and outside of them as well. He knew she was the one for him, and refused to give up on her. She just needed to see how much he had to offer her. Brooks gave her a run for her money and I couldn't have asked for a more entertaining ride!

I truly enjoyed this book from the very beginning and was beyond sad whne the book was finished! I am so excited to go to the very first book so I can go back to the small town that made me feel like I was at home every time I listened and read.

✨️📚 ARC 📚 REVIEW✨️

Madi could never and would never WRITE NO WRONG!!! That is a hill I will die on. She gave me all the dark MMA romance, but then went and wrote this beautiful book! I loved this book from the very beginning! 

I loved 🐕 Sutton 🐕 and her black cat energy she brought to the table! I loved that she wasn't willing to give in at the drop of the hat. I was so happy when 🐕 Sutton 🐕 was able to find what she needed in order to make their relationship work for her. I loved the silly 🦜 bird 🦜 😆😆😆.  🦜 He 🦜 always told his truth when it came to Jameson when he arrived! 🦜 He 🦜 was definitely one of the highlights of the book! 🐕 Sutton 🐕 definitely told him on multiple occasions that if he didn't get it together she would open the window 😆😆😆. I am a firm believer in that when someone has a love for animals and they are loved by those animals it says so much about someone. I love that 🐕 Sutton 🐕 is one of those people that animals love, because they get all the vibes we don't when it cames to people! 

I was so glad when 🐕 Sutton 🐕 was finally able to let 🤠 Jameson 🤠 in! Once she was able to let her guard down, 🤠 Jameson 🤠 was able to truly able to get to know her. I loved seeing their sweet moments and their intimate moments only propelled them even further!

🤠 Jameson 🤠 was such a hottie!! I loved his candor and how hard he was trying to get 🐕 Sutton 🐕 to go on a  date with him! He was the true winner because he sent her dinner! I absolutely loved how much he wanted to date 🐕 Sutton 🐕 and was willing to milk everything he could until she finally said yes. He loved his mama sooo much and wanted nothing more than for her to be better, see him get married and have kids. His love for his mom and what he was willing to do in order to make her as happy as he could while she was still able go enjoy it. I loved how his mom was always busting his balls about finding someone and having a family. I have to give him major credit because he was trying everything he could without being a creep!

These two were the perfect match and I loved seeing their story unfold!

🎙Narrators: Willa Jaymes & Sean Masters 🎙

Connor is the first book I have read by Samantha and I am appalled at my behavior! (In my defense I haven't kept up with the Joneses.) I ATE up 🥃 Connor 🥃 like it was the last audio I was going to have for a while! Thank goodness that isn't the case 😏! I am so excited to say that Sawyer will be next and I am beyond excited ot get to know him! BUUUTTTT Back to 🌸 Daisy 🌸 & 🥃 Connor 🥃. They deserve the spotlight for a little bit!

🌸 Daisy 🌸 is a holistic yoga and wellness therapist that lives in a small town and works with her mom in their wellness center. 💖 She 💖 has learned so much from her mom but also knows that there is more out there to be brought in and learned to make their business better. 🌸 Daisy 🌸 has had a less than stellar experience when it comes to men. But that doesn't mean 🥃 Connor 🥃 will fail at winning her heart. I loved 🌸 Daisy 🌸 and everything she brought to the book! A lot like myself and others 🌸 Daisy 🌸 isn't your usualy thin girly, she is plus sized and beautiful! 💖 She 💖 doesn't hide herself but she doesn't always put herself out there. When 🥃 Connor 🥃 comes around things change for her in a huge way! 💖 She 💖 doesn't shy away from him, but instead sticks to her guns. 💖 She 💖 learns that letting 🥃 Connor 🥃 in is just the beginning of a beautiful realtionship she never expected to have. 🌸 Daisy 🌸 learns how to let her hair down and how to let 🥃 Connor 🥃 truly love her for who she is, not for how she looks.

🥃 Connor 🥃 isn't your usual billionaire who is obsessed with looks and money. Yes, 💙 he 💙 has made a good life for himself and 💙 his 💙 family. But that hasn't come from anything less than hard work and a keen sense of business. 🥃 Connor 🥃 truly sees 🌸 Daisy 🌸 for who she is not just the beautiful outside she presents. 💙 He 💙 knew from the first time 💙 he 💙 talked to her about her business that 💖 she 💖 had a keen eye and 💙 he 💙 HAD to have her help him with his new venture into the wellness therapy world. 🥃 Connor 🥃 knew once he was around her more that 💖 she 💖 had to be his. But not in a possessive way, 💙 he 💙 took extra measures to make sure they are covered legally. What 🥃 Connor 🥃 wasn't prepared for was how well they would entwine and learn from each other in more ways than one. 

I loved their journey to each other and how 💙 he 💙 worshipped the ground 💖 she 💖 walked on. 🥃 Connor 🥃 knew that 🌸 Daisy 🌸 was the one for him, and would go to all lengths to make it happen. 💙 He 💙 also went as far as he needed to in order to save 🌸 Daisy 🌸. There was no one else that would ever stand up to who 💖 she 💖 was for and to 💙 him 💙.

✨️ 📖 ARC 📖 REVIEW ✨️

This is the first book I have read from Saffron 😃 and boy did it pack a punch 👊 and leave a lasting impression!! Juniper and Shepard have been living rent free 🏠 in my head since I finished it! 

💖 Juniper 💖 aka My Little Strawberry aka JuJu is such a beautiful soul! I loved 🎀 her 🎀 sooo much! 🎀 She 🎀 has had a life that wasn't one many would ever dream of having. Many would only ever dream of opulence like 🎀 Juniper 🎀 has but never had the luxury of dreaming for long enough. 💖 Juniper 💖 felt an attraction that she couldn't quell and was afraid to say anything to anyone because of who ⚽️ he ⚽️ was to 🎀 her 🎀 but also to the world. 💖 Juniper 💖 never expected to find ⚽️ Shepard ⚽️ in one of her jobs, especially not looking for 🎀 her 🎀. I couldn't love 💖 Juniper 💖 more, I felt the pain and strugglers that she went through all throughout the book. I felt like 💖 Juniper 💖 had such huge aspirations but put those on the back burner to take care of the one person she loved more than life itself, her sister. 💖 Juniper 💖 was all in when she was truly able to be, but she was trigger shy because of the temperament of his affection and his reactions to her words of love.

⚽️ Shepard ⚽️ is a man that gets what he wants and isn't apologetic about it! He knows what he wants and he isn't willing to compromise either. I appreciate that in a man, but ⚽️ Shepard ⚽️ is one that is going to be hard to forget for the foreseeable future! He gives me all the 🖤 DARKNESS 🖤 I have been craving in my 📚 books! ⚽️ He ⚽️ definitely was a man who refused to let something pass him by, so he took the opportunity by the cajones! ⚽️ He ⚽️ gave us all the 🖤 broody 🖤 MMC and I couldn't help but see that he obvi had some ❤️ feelings ❤️ about everything even if ⚽️ he ⚽️ didn't want to admit or even see with his eyes 👀 wide open. Once ⚽️ he ⚽️ was able to see how he truly felt he wasn't going to just let 🎀 her 🎀 go easily. He did the most to make sure that ⚽️ he ⚽️ walked away with the 🎀 girl 🎀 of his dreams, fantasies and now memories.

✨️ 📖 ARC 📖 REVIEW ✨️

🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 truly made my ❤️ heart ❤️ race throughout this whole book! I have never seen two characters that went up in 🔥 flames 🔥 like a forest fire 🔥 like these two did! There may be the low hum of ✨️ tension ✨️ throughout every encounter, but that didn't mean they wouldn't make every bit of it work for them. I loved the palpable ✨️ tension ✨️ that they obviously worked off of that finally set them off!

🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 was a rocktstar from the get go! I loved the 💥 spark 💥 that Aurelie brought to not just every 🏎 race 🏁 but every interaction with 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. She never showed her 🃏 cards 🃏 to anyone even if she struggled to keep them all in line. I couldn't stop reeling about her consistant ❤️ love ❤️ of the 🏎 F1 🌎  world even if she felt the pressure to be the first to cross that line. No matter what was thrown her way she rose to the challenge and gave it her all. I loved that even though she loved 🏎 F1 racing 🏁  she knew where so many other people placed her in the sport just because she was 1. a female & 2. her twins “replacement” even if she earned her place. Like 🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 didn't know how everyone didn't want her there, she continued to do her best at every turn. (Pun intended) I felt for her at times because no one should ever have to feel THAT type of way. She worked hard to be where she was in life, just behind where her brother was. 

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was a WHOLE smoke show!!! He was not only just the hottest man but everytime he opened his mouth, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what he had to say. I may or may not have held my breath everytime 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 & 🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 came together. Baited breath and all I was just waiting to see how long it would take or him to see her the way that he should have seen her from the beginning. Not only as competition, but also as a partner he didn't know that he needed as he walked through life. They both knew the sport sooo well, so it would only make sense that they would find their way to each other.  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was more than well versed in the 🏎 racing 🏁 world 🌎,  so seeing as his resolve started to disappear piece by piece. 🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 was slowly but fast paced at the same time was making her way to him, and I couldn't help but want to see where it would go!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Callum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and 🇫🇷 Aurelie 🇫🇷 were the absolute match made in ☁️ HEAVEN ☁️. I am soooo excited to see what happens in the upcoming books!

🎧 ALC Review 🎧

🎙 Narrated by: Victoria Connolly & Brandon Francis🎙

Victoria and Brandon truly did this book soooo much justice! I was sent every time Brandon made a sexy quote THAT much more sexy just by saying it. He can truly make anything sound sexy. Lemme just tell you that I will never say he doesn't! I absolutely LOVED hearing Victoria give Millie the voice I always thought she would have, but BETTER!

Let me just put this out here first and foremost. Katie will forever and ever be my FAVORITE 😍  AUTHOR ❤️. She gives me everything I need in a book and so much more. She knocks each book out of the park, and when I know its going to be amazing, she comes in and makes it 20 times better!! I will forever be a Katie Van Brunt Stan! 

Now, let's get to our regularly scheduled review! 

Millie and Ezra are two human beings that will forever live in my heart. I loved these two so much, even from the first book. I was no so patiently waiting for their book to come out. 

Millie is an absolute smoke show who can not only make you look like this 😍 but also make your body move when she sings. She is the complete showbiz package! Even with her having those talents, she is an amazing woman who is every bit of a human. She has her insecurities because she has been berated by someone based on her looks and her weight. She struggles with body dysmorphia and with the help of Ezra learns how beautiful her body is even if it's not what it used to be. She shows what a beautiful human she truly is when Kane comes into the picture and she loves him with her whole heart. She is such a beautiful human inside and out and loves with her whole being. I love it when she is able to find herself again with the help of Ezra. Can we love Ezra anymore than we already do? 

Ezra is the ultimate man that every woman dreams about 😍. He goes to therapy to seek treatment for himself, initiates healthy conversations, and loves with his whole chest ❤️. I was legit swooning all over my kindle for this man. Bless him, he had a rough go with women. He seemed to find all the wrong ones until he found Millie. Millie was the yin to his yang. It may have started as fake, but it quickly became more. I loved how much he embraced Kane and showed him that he would always be there for him. He knew he didn't want him to have a horrible upbringing. My heart ❤️ just soared when Ezra said his peace and did everything he could for Kane. I couldn't have loved him more at that point. 

These two were the most perfectly flawed people for each other. I loved their banter, their what Ifs game and everything about them. They came with their misgivings, but they found the best in each other. 

I'm going to brag on Miss Katie once again because she more than deserves it. She brought so much to the table in this book. Men's Mental Health, Body Dysmorphia, Parental Abuse, Blending Of Families, Endometriosis, LGBTQIA+ Rep to name a few. She deserves a whole AWARD 👏  for using these in this book in a healthy way. And bringing them up to make sure that there is a conversation about them. They deserve to be spoken about! She deserves to be applauded for using them so well. 

I absolutely cannot wait to see who is going to be the next couple in the third book of this series! I will be the first in line to get my copy!!

🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Millie and Ezra were so 😍 🔥 👌 in the bedroom. They knew that toys were Teammates, not enemies. I loved that she had an air tag on her toy bag 😆. They took their time exploring each other and what they wanted. With exploration comes the real joy! I loved that they were adventurous and tried something new frequently. 

WARNING ⚠️: Scenes may cause horniness 😆 (but for real though)

I received a complimentary copy via  Katie Van Brunt and Grey's Promotions. All opinions are my own, honest, and voluntary.

🎙 Narrators: Alyssa Avery & Nick J. Russo 🎙

Before I get to the narrators, let me just say that the dedication was what really set the tone for this WHOLE book! Dedicating anything to 🧛‍♂️ Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer is 🏆 TOP TIER!

🎙Alyssa and Nick 🎙 did a fantastic job with Veil & Gemini! I loved how their tones and inflections brought me even further into their world. I couldn't help but stay intrigued and want so much more!

Gemini Foley is the servant to the God of Trickery. Boy, does he live up to his lot in life. He comes out of the gate stalking his prey, but what happens next definitely wasn't on my bingo card. 

Gemini was the golden retriever to Veil in every way. He even groveled at her feet MULTIPLE times! DO YOU 👀 SEE 👀 THIS? That man is down bad and he isn't even sorry for it!! While he is playing his games with Veil it only brings him in even deeper. Gemini plays his trickery while leading Veil with the master/pet collaring. I was not prepared for that dynamic to come out and play 😏. 

Once again Naomi brings all the things ot the table and isn't afraid to show them in a way that so many can't! I am OBSESSED with this world and need the next 5 books IMMEDIATELY!

🎙Narrators: Emma Wilder & Sebastian York 🎙


Let me just start off by saying that Emma and Sebastian made this whole book go from a 5 🌟 read to ♾️ 🌟 ! I already knew that I was going to 💕 love 💕 what Maggie wrote, but these two truly made this book 📖 that much more 💗 heart 💗 gripping! This 📖 book 📖 deals with some hard topics (Post Pardom Depression & PTSD to start.) But hearing the words and thoughts of each character really drove home the ✨️ feelings ✨️ they had. Not just the feelings but also the feeling was so well conveyed from their tones and deliverance. 


Beth and Shane may have just become my favorite couple 👫 from 💛 Falls Creek 💛! I have 💖 loved 💖 all of the couples 👫 but I have to say that Beth and Shane truly felt so close to my 💗 heart 💗. I could feel their ❤️ love ❤️ coming from the narrators voice but also from the words that Maggie gave us! 

Beth's journey truly hit me right in the ❤️ chest ❤️! I wasn't expecting to connect with Beth as much as I did! She came with not only a bun in the oven, but also her heart that needed healing. I felt Beth from the beginning and I definitely couldn't stop listening until the story was over. As always Maggie gives us all the swoon, spicy times, but also something that will stick with you forever. She gave Beth so many redeeming qualities that it just made falling in love with her that much easier. Beth truly came from the worst time in her life with a surprising pregnancy but made the most of it. 

The chemistry between Beth and Shane was ELECTRIFYING! Their banter was the best! I couldn't stop kicking my feet and squealing every time her called her Dimples then Mama!! I fell even harder for Shane! I was so obsessed with how much he loved her from the very beginning! He knew what he was in for and was more than willing and happy to be her person. 

Shane definitely had his struggles. But he wasn't ashamed about being upfront and honest about his fight with Alcohol. he had a basket of chips to show his progress and how far he had come! I couldn't help but feel all types of ways about Shane's story and experiences. As someone who has/had family in the military, I couldn't help but feel so deeply when he spoke about his team. How he spoke about his back tattoo was truly where you could feel how much he loved and missed his troop.

I definitely got misty eyes when he called the baby tadpole after he explained the meaning to Beth. Not only the nickname he gave her it was also the love that he put behind his words every time he talked to her. She was never anyone else's baby but Beth and Shane's! 

I loved this audiobook more than I can explain! This whole series was absolutely fantastic and I am so sad that it has come to an end!

I have been and will always shout about my love for ✨️ C. L. Rose ✨️ and ANYTHING she writes. She always comes with the best and leaves the rest behind, far behind. 🏈 Mr. I 🏈 is nothing but better than anything she has written thus far! If you know me then you know that my ALL TIME FAVE  is ⚾️ Scoring Position ⚾️!!! Lark and Acey have held that position since I was able to get my eyes 👀 on it! But I think that 🏈 Mr. I 🏈 may have ALMOST bumped SP! Alas, it had a small smidgen to go, but have no fear I still loved the HECK out of 🏈 Mr. I 🏈!!!

Maddox and Dimes truly gave us so much banter and 🌶 spice 🌶 that we can always count on in C.L.'s writing! I loved that she brought these together and gave them everything they wanted. Lessons 📝, FOOTBALL 🏈, and some forbidden romance all through the book! But the DADDY I LOVE HIM WILL ALWAYS REIGN SUPREME!! 

I feel as if things can't get any better but then she goes and turns it up another 5 notches! I CANNOT wait for the next installment!!!!

🎙Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin & Christian Fox 🎙
I truly enjoyed this 🎧 audiobook 🎧 with Vanessa and Christian giving Lilah and Steele so much life and vigor throughout the whole book. I loved that they were able to capture them and share their journey together!

This is my first book by Jennifer and I don't know that I could have picked a better book to start with! I fell just as hard as Steele did for Lilah! I am definitely going to betting more of her backlist read as soon as I am out of my ARC era 😆. 

I really enjoyed the journey that Lilah and Steele had. The friends to lovers 😍 trope was truly well played through the 📖 book! She was his 🍀 Lucky Charms and he was her man of steel who was always there for her when she needed him the most. He always knew that she was the one 😍 but hadn't quite had the perfect timing yet to tell her much less woo her into seeing why. He knew from the very beginning that 💖 Lilah had always been the one for him, but he was more than willing to wait until she wasn't with someone. 

I loved ❤️ how Steele always made sure that she was taken care of even when he wasn't always able to be there. He knew her better than anyone ever could have, because he paid attention when she spoke, and when she didn't. Steele was such a cinnamon roll with that dominant side that I swooned every time it came out. 

I couldn't get enough of these two, especially with that bonus epilogue!! I want soooo much more with these two!!!

Savannah and Caden did an amazing job with this audiobook! I know that the subjects in here aren't for everyone, but they definitely made it easier to listen to. Savannah truly gave Raina a voice and carried her all the way through this whole audiobook FLAWLESSLY ❤️. I honestly didn't know when I first started listening if Caden would really capture Kage and his essence. The more I listened the more I became accustomed to him being Kage. I kind of thought Kage would have a litte more of a huskier voice, but Kaden did a great job! 


Kage 🔪🖤 was a wild ride!! But it was a ride that I willingly waited for! Chelle has some type of way with her writing that truly draws me in even with the hardest of subjects. She brings in the hardest subjects and decimated them with Kage & Raina. 

Raina ❤️ was a mafia princess who was nothing your normal mafia princess. She didn't want to be involved in the depraved things her family were involved in. She still had a heart ❤️ and clung to her humanity when it came to the things they did. Even though her mother stepped aside while things were done she still had hope for her mother. Hope that her mother would finally stand up against everything. That was dashed quickly when everything truly started going sideways. I really liked Raina ❤️ and felt for her all the way through this book. She went through hell and back but was still fighting the whole time! 

Kage 🖤🔪☠️ is a man obsessed with cages (hence the name- not like the Kardashians 🤣.) Kage refuses to let anyone get by him that has hurt his family. But Raina ❤️ truly changed that for him. She changed everything when it came to his feelings on love. He took from her what she held dearly. But he was determined to make it up to her. 

Even though death 💀 isn't something he shys away from, that was one thing he refused to let Raina do. Even if it was an order from Bones. He truly let his feelings and his ❤️ get in the way of those orders. He gained so much more with Raina than he ever thought possible. Even if it did take from his family. 

I am thrilled about Psycho's book! I know he is the last unhinged brother and I already know that he is going to be OUT OF THIS WORLD CRAZY!

✨️ 📚 ARC 📖  REVIEW ✨️

I will probably be saying this for a LOOONNGGG time, but Alise Monroe will forever have my heart and eyes when it comes to books! If you didn't know Alise Monroe is a pen name for 2 Besties who write together. These women deserve WHOLE AWARDS 👏 for everything they can pack into one book. The first book, When I Come Back there was so much that mad eme cry, and feel ALLLL the feels. And this book was no different! It had so many aspects that coincided with things in my life and I can't ignore that. I feel like somehow they know my life without me knowing about it 🤣. Whatever they are doing I couldn't encourage them enough to KEEP GOING!!

Margot was the nurse called in the first book to help clean up and check Brooks over when he showed up back in town. The tension then was palpable, and it sure was when we dove right back into this world. I loved seeing how they continued onward in their relationship. Margot saw far beyond Brooks' walls and was able to get him to slowly lower them. She was HIS person because she was able to be understanding and push him to be and do better as a man and person in general. 

Brooks was the resident Bad Boy and everyone knew it. They always wondered why he coudln't just get it together like his brother. WHAT kind of fun would that have been when he has so much anger to let out? He isn't your normal guy, he is a complicated guy at its finest! He always felt as if he had something to atone for, or just anger he needed to release and the best way he wanted to let it out was fighting. This was his outlet that he could ride up on that motorcycle he loved and knew he would come out on top as long as he put in the anger he had. 

I seriously always wondered what went through someone's head that fought like he did, well now I almost don't want to know anymore 😆. I guess the question I should be asking is their motivations. Brooks definitely had his, and chose to use that as his outlet. Even though he had his way of dealing, it really wasn't When Margot came into his life and pushed him to do and be better he definitely gave her some push back. 

No one usually wants to admit that they are nothing less than a sound person, mind and body. But Brooks was one that he didn't really care what other people thought. Margot changed that within him. She was HIS good girl and he was HER bad boy. I loved their dynamics and seeing the growth that they encouraged in each other. 

Seeing Margot and Brooks unite gave me CHILLS & FEELS!!! I don't think I could love this book series more than I already do. But Alise keeps blowing me away ever more with each book! I am beyolnd excited to read the next book and see how much farther they will have me OBSESSED!

✨️ ARC 📖  REVIEW ✨️


 I truly loved this story! Lauralee and Baylor truly made my heart ❤️ sooo happy! I loved their chemistry and how well they blended together. They truly had so many friends & family in common. Its a wonder they didn't really see each other before! 

Lauralee was such a sweetheart 💕! I loved her love for baking and the business her mom built from the ground up! She loved her mom, the bakery and all the friends she has made along the way that have become family. Lauralee knew that Baylor was a NY man but she wondered of he would ever be a small town man for her? 


Baylor was a great guy! I really liked seeing the contrast between his life in NY and at home with his family. He loved his family that had grown over the years but always knew he left a little bit of his heart behind every time he left to go back to NY. 

Lauralee truly helped make the life he always wondered about at home that much more appealing. I was smitten with these two and how much they grew together throughout the book. They both got more than they ever truly expected!

✨️ 📚 ARC 📖 REVIEW ✨️

There is nothing that I love more than a small town that is dreamy and full of “dusty” cowboys 🤠. Because who in their right mind wouldn't want to be around hot 🔥 sweaty cowboys 🤠 every time you turn around? ME. I WANNA BE THERE! Not to mention this small town is nothing but homey and so comfortable to be in. It definitely gives me 🥰 so many reasons to want to come back ASAP! But before I have to go back to reality I NEED to tell you all about Mesa and Tripp 😍. 

Mesa and Tripp gave us so much in this book! We have some of the best slow burn 🔥 that was filled with the Yearning of these two! I was LIVING for this friends to lovers 💕 throughout this book! It was done so well 😍. Seeing Mesa and Tripp fight their ✨️ attraction ✨️ was not only done beautifully 🥰, but also gave me so many chances to kick and scream when they finally stopped fighting it. 🥰🥰🥰

As they were fighting their attraction you could feel how palpable their tension was! What really SENT me was when they friend zoned theirselves 🥰. Mesa and Tripp truly gave us so much deliciousness with this! 

I can't even begin to tell you how much their friendship made everything feel so much deeper 😍. They had some very deep and vulnerable conversations to truly get to know each other while they were friends. I couldn't stop squealing and kicking my legs as I saw them truly fall in love ❤️ with each other! This alone solidified how I was already feeling about this book 😍🥰! 

Lemme tell you that this book has its spice 🌶🌶🌶 but it is also sweet 🥰. This will make your heart ache in the best way possible 💕.
