Honey and JD’s story was a refreshing, fast paced read. I definitely felt their chemistry throughout the book. It had the perfect amount of witty banter, sweet tender moments.

Love is Blind (The Satan’s Knights MC North Carolina #2) is an MC romance.
Ghost and Birdie’s story was entertaining and fast paced. You get tender moments, witty banter and plenty of steamy comnection. I liked the drama, heartache and happy ever after.
Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett did a really good job portraying these characters.

The Invitation (Brewer Family #3) is an enemies to lovers romance.
Ahhh what a fun read this turned out to be! I loved their personalities! The banter was on point and that chemistry was undeniably intense! Such a fun story with a happy ending!
Lexi Maynard and Jason Clarke were the perfect duo to portray Georgia and Ripley. They did a great job narrating this story.

Overtime (Vegas Aces: The Coach #4) is an enemies to lovers, sports romance.
Overtime starts off where book 3 ended. The drama and secrets pile up, threatening to ruin lives. Such an attention grabbing story as the twists are revealed. I read this in one sitting, and I’m dying to know how it will all play out!
Samantha Brentmoor and Aaron Shedlock did a fantastic job again portraying these characters.

3.0
Gifted to his Dad is an age gap, MFM romance. It was fast paced and smutty goodness with a dash of holiday spirit. I liked that the author didn’t expand on certain past relationships. It focused solely on the couple/throuple dynamic. I loved how both Cole and Griffin cherished Eve. While I would have preferred a bit more character backstory and connection between the trio, it was still an enjoyable read. This was my first book by J. Wilder, and I’m definitely interested in reading more of her work.

Once Upon a Christmas Tree is a prequel to the new series Valentine Nook Chronicles. It’s an opposites attract romance.
Alex was a grinchy hero, but definitely had his reasons for not liking the season. Haven was a sweet heroine that fit Alex in every way. The growing chemistry was intense and consuming. You could feel it building until they could not hold back anymore. The wit and banter was entertaining from all these characters. I’m excited for more!! This was my first book from Lulu Moore, and I’m hooked!
Shane East and CJ Bloom did a phenomenal job narrating this book. Excellent choice to portray Alex and Haven.

3.5 stars Savages (Serpents of Cinderhart Academy #2) is a dark, bully romance.
We pick up where book 1 left off. The tension, deceit and secrets keep piling on. It was a more intense read, but the storyline held my attention. The chemistry between the serpents (Knox, Silas & Mason) and Nim continues to heat up. I need to know what happens next.
Chloe Ryan and Benjamin Sands did another good job portraying the characters. The narration was spot on.

Before I Knew (The Cage Family 0.5) is a prequel to the Cage Family series.
This short story is centered around Aston and Blakely. It was a great introduction to this couple and I can’t wait for more. Perfect build of chemistry, banter and fun family shenanigans.

One Night with You (Montgomery Ink Legacy #7) is a friends to lovers romance.
Claire and Kingston’s story was emotionally packed and well written. The chemistry was great and their intimate moments were perfect. I enjoyed the family dynamic as well.
Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder were a perfect pair narrating this book. They portrayed these characters well.
