The Lodge is a romance set in ski resort in Vermont about Alix being a ghostwriter for Sebastian who was famous for being in a boy band. The book has an element of mystery as well with the disappearance of Jett, who was in the same band.

I really enjoyed how Alix and her experience at the ski resort. Her meeting with the ski instructor Tyler and their growing relationship. To her making friends with the staff at the resort. 

I really enjoyed Tyler and Alix together. Tyler was such a cinnamon roll with his attention to her. 

I enjoyed the voice memos and social media articles that were in between the chapters to give us an insight to the past for True North. The narration of Andi Arndt, Graham Halstead and Gilli Messer was perfect in bringing the story to life.

Thank you @atriabooks @simon.audio for a copy of the book.

I loved The Girl with the Louding Voice and I am so excited to get more of Adunni. Adunni is excited to start school but is pulled away back to her home town being accused of something so did. 

Tia goes and try and find Adunni and get her back to school. The story is well told with Adunni's words as well as other girls and women that were accused of doing something they did. These stories really show how women are treated unfairly in remote villages. 

A beautiful story about how the oppressed women rise. 

Adjoa Andoh did such a great job with all the characters and bringing them to life

I am loving this series so much!! An accidental baggage mix up is what starts Max and Everly's story. Max is the grumpy goalie that refuses to talk to the media. It's Everly's job to get hockey players to be loved by the media. 

They are forced together to create more likeable profile for Max. They end up spending a lot of time together and can't fight their attraction. Max is so attentive to Everly. Both have issues to overcome and I liked how they supported each other. So fun and steamy!!

The narration of Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton brought the story to life.

This was such a great novella celebrating two holidays during a snow storm. Nessa and Jake was great together as strangers stranded at home during a snow storm. I love how they both shared their culture. 

For a short romances, of course there was insta love but I thought this was done well. 

The narration of Julia Whalen and Teddy Hamilton was perfection. 

One of the best meet cute and great way to start the book. Josie and Wesley are so fun together!! A forced proximity story with being roommates and getting to know each other. I adore the banter between the two. 

The duet narration of Erin Mallon and Connor Crais made the story so fun.

Meghan Quinn knows how to write books that make you laugh, tugs at the heart and give you all the feels. It was great to be back in Almond Bay and seeing characters I enjoyed previously in this series. 

Ryland and Gabby are so good together. If you love small town, forced proximity and great banter, don't sleep on this. Mac is such a sweet heart and love when a story shows the kid is very much part of the life. 

Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York did an amazing job bringing this story to life. 

Thank you to the author and @hambright_pr for a copy do this book.

This was such a beautiful book about grieving and moving forward and finding love. Davina is focused on her skin care company after losing her husband several years ago. She meets Deke who agrees to work on promoting her product. I love the slow burn of this story. 

Deke feels the instant connection. He gives Davina time and help her heal as they become better friends. I love that Davina was able to get to open up about his past as well. 

The story is so well told and narration by Aure Nash and Sean Bassett really brought the characters to life. 

This was my first book by this author and it won't be the last.

What a great twisty thriller. We have 2 main FMC, Jasmine and Stephanie who are connected by being on the same plane and both of them vanish. The story is told in multiple POV which added an interesting perspective. I love you really didn't know what was going on. 

There is a cast of narrators (Andrew Eiden; Dylan Fitzpatrick; Fred Berman; Gail Shalan; Hillary Huber; Jennifer Pickens; John Pirhalla; Kimberly M. Wetherell; Kirby Heyborne; Tim Campbell) and made for a full immersive experience. 

Thank you @stmartinspress @macmillan.audio @netgalley for a copy of this book. 

So bummed this series is coming to a close. This was a great friends to lovers story. I love the friendship between Veera and Deepaj and the fake marriage. There was fun and spice and depth to the story. 

I know this was a nod to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. I haven't read this play so I can't say it was close to the story or not.

Thank you @avonbooks @bibliolofestyle for a copy of this book.

The book started out strong with the camping and left stranded. Melody and Zac was good together but I felt they acted a bit immature to be in their 30s. The story dragged a bit for me with Melody's internal dialogue about her ex boyfriend. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of this.
