My review: 5 stars!
I read A Thousand Boy Kisses when it was released back in 2016, and it was so heartbreaking beautiful that I've re-read it and recommended it many times. I dove into A Thousand Broken Pieces and it was just extraordinary- it was so well written! You can really feel all the emotions the characters go through. You'll need tissues for the journey to the HEA, but it is so worth it!

Oh this was so worth the wait! Jason Brewer was just as swoon-worthy as I hoped he be and I adored Chloe. They had so much chemistry and such great banter! I am loving the Brewer family so much.

About THE BOYFRIEND GOAL (Coming 8/21/2024):

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…

Neither is spending my first evening in a new city with the sexy stranger who rescues me when I’m locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.
But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start.
In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team.
He’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.
Thanks, fate.
But the last thing I need is a complicated fling so we agree to a friends-only rule.
It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.
He gives me rides to work.
Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.
Takes care of me when I get hurt.
I don’t know how long I can stick to our rules, especially the night Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break them.
Every single one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh this was perfection! Sweet and sexy small town second chance romance checks all my boxes and was just what I needed for a plane ride- I devoured it in one sitting. I also listened to the audiobook and it was fantastic! Narrators Shiloh James and Lance Greenfield gave great performances as Laina and Luke- I enjoyed it so much! I listened at 1.3X which is perfectly conversational for me.

Every Kringle in Kringletown celebrated Christmas a lot.

But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately, did not.

As his fellow citizens decorate their quaint town, brimming with carols and glad tidings, Cole wants nothing more than to hibernate the winter away. But his dreary plans are thwarted when his Christmas nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Immediately, the new neighbor turns his life into a real nightmare before Christmas, especially when she decides to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest in honor of Cindy. And better yet, Storee is determined to win.

Over Cole’s dead body, she will. With help from his friend Max, Cole decides to enter the competition as well, to beat Storee at her own game by pretending that this hometown grump’s heart has grown three sizes this season and he’s fallen for the girl next door. And unfortunately for Storee, she has to follow his lead to have a chance at the Christmas Kringle title.

But the competition isn’t the only thing that heats up. Cole and Storee’s fake relationship becomes very real, and before they know it, they’re attempting to hide it from Aunt Cindy. Things get complicated, the competition gets tough, and all it takes is one single night for someone to steal it all…

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

New Audiobook Release Review: Golden Touch by Sarina Bowen

 

Golden Touch (Giltmaker, #2)Golden Touch by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Good as Gold, the first book in author Sarina Bowen's Giltmaker series, so I was super excited to dive into Golden Touch. I adore a little suspense with my romance so Livia and Nash's story was fantastic and done so well. I've always been fascinated by the brewery process, so I love that this series is set in the Giltmaker family brewery because I've actually learned a lot as I read. I was able to listen to an early audio copy, and the narration by Tim Paige and Samantha Brentmoor was top-notch. Although it was nice to catch up with characters from the first book, Golden Touch can absolutely be read as a standalone, although I do think you'll want to go back and read the first book after devouring this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Vi Keeland's romance novels and was excited to read her foray into some new genres- psychological thriller and suspense. The Unraveling was a wild ride and I loved it! I was genuinely surprised and taken aback at several of the reveals and that epilogue- wow! Well played indeed. I hope that Keeland releases some more books in this category because I am all in!

New Release Review: So This is War by Meghan Quinn

 

So This Is War (Vancouver Agitators, #5)So This Is War by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh those Frozen Fellas and their girlfriends are such a hoot! I had been excited for Posey's book in the Vancouver Agitators series, and boy did we get a treat. Author Meghan Quinn is always going to give her readers hilarity and lots of laugh out loud moments, and Levi Posey and Wylie were absolutely great together. The shining star in this book was the group text with Posey and the girlfriends of the Frozen Fellas was a DELIGHT. I was lucky enough to listen to an early audio copy, and the full cast of narrator favorites were top notch- phenomenal!

New Release Audiobook Review: The Accidental Dating Experiment by Lauren Blakely

 

The Accidental Dating ExperimentThe Accidental Dating Experiment by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was so excited when I saw that Lauren Blakely's latest romantic comedy was included with my Audible membership so I rushed to download it, especially since the narrators were two of my favorites- Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan. As with all Blakely books, the banter and spice was on point. Juliet and Monroe's chemistry was so great and I loved the setup with the romance podcast cohosts working together on a renovation of a cottage in a darling small town. Narrators Arndt and Morgan were fantastic and added so much to the story for me.
