If We Ever Meet Again by Ana Huang
To travel abroad and find love and found family, what a story. I really enjoyed seeing Farrah and Blake's story as they both explore a new country and school. I love the found family aspect and how these friends became family.
The story does leave you in a cliffhanger. Thankfully, I already had the second book in queue to read.

Someone You Trust by Rachel Ryan
This was a great domestic thriller with Amy, who was recently hired as a nanny. Things are starting to be crazy at the house and it unravels from there. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and the red herrings though out the book.

Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas
Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of this book.
I knew this book about the five brothers obviously from
The title but I don't think my mind was ready for the story.
Ward writes some taboo romances and loved a lot of what she has written. This one was okay for me. The story dragged a bit some parts for me. I am not sure I liked the FMC. I appreciate that the brothers were all so different.
The different voices for the narration (Andrew Eiden, Aaron Shedlock, Robin Blake, Kaleo Griffith, Abby Craden, Jeremy York) also helped to distinguish between the brothers.

It Had to Be You by Eliza Jane Brazier
Thank you @berkleyromqnce @prhaudio for this audiobook.
This was such a fun premise. A bit of Mr and Mrs. Smith vibes. Eva and Jonathan are great characters and the story had a little bit of mystery, humor and or course romance. There are some crazy shenanigans but at the end, I love how they made it work.
January LaVoy and Will Damron were amazing as Eva and Jonathan.

Business Casual by B.K. Borison
Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of this book.
I have loved every book of this series. The setting of the farm, the great characters gets me excited to return. Charlie and Nova and so great together and no 3rd act breakup is the best.
I love seeing all the other characters. Pippa Jayne & Benjamin D Walker did a great job with the narration.

Those Three Little Words by Meghan Quinn
I am not a fan of surprise pregnancy trope but Meghan Quinn can write a phone book and make it fun and entertaining. Penny and Eli was great together and the banter was top notch.
The duet narration really brought out all the humorous moments to life.

Trouble in Queenstown by Delia Pitts
This was my first book by Delia Pitts and I enjoyed this female PI story. Vandy is back home in New Jersey and is hired to do some divorce surveillance and things go crazy. I enjoyed the small town vibe and how the story progressed.
Bahni Turpin is always a great narrator and brought Vandy to life.
Thank you @minotaur_books @macmillan.audio for a copy of the book.

Until Next Summer by Ali Brady
Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of this book.
These two ladies always write some fun camp romances with a good dose of friendships. The premise of this was a fun idea of having one last camp before the camp is sold.
Friendships are rekindled and so are romances. I love seeing adults reliving their childhood fond memories.
Brittany Pressley and Karissa Vacker are two of my favorite narrators and they brought both POV to life.

I just adore Adams writing. In the Match, we meet Evie who has a service dog of her own and works to match people with service dogs meet a single dad, Jake. Jake is looking to get a dog for his daughter,Sam.
The story is cute and all the characters are likeable. I love the banter between Evie and Jake and Sam was adorable too.
I can never resist books with pets and dogs and they played a big role in this story.
