Thrive by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie
Happy to be back in the world of Lily and Loren. Their growth journey has been tough but I love how they both supported to each other.
Always love seeing the rest of the characters as well.

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.

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.

This was a great read about 2 women that are worlds apart and loved how it was connected. The subject is heavy but the writing is done well and kept me intrigued and vested.
Until I'm Yours by Kennedy Ryan
I am going to say this book is Bennett adjacent. Sofie was a family friend and always believed to be married to Bennett son. She's beautiful, a model, and was portrayed as a villain in the series.
It was interesting to get her redemption story and to know what she's been through. I love Trevor and how good he was. Their love story is a slow burn and Kennedy Ryan's writing is always so good.

Living in SoCal and only 15 min away from Laguna Beach, this book grabbed my attention. The historical fiction is set post war when women are struggling to find work as men are back from the war. Hazel moved to California looking for a job and ends up working as a model for Hanson Radcliff.
The story is about Hazel's ability to make it out in California and how by working with Radcliff, she finds herself and creates new friendships.
The added element of mystery and romance added so much to the story too.

Sally Brady's Italian Adventure by Christina Lynch
This was such a fun take on a historical fiction set in WWII. Sally convinces a Hollywood actress to take her in and is adopted in the lifestyle of Hollywood while working as a gossip columnist.
Sally ends up stranded in Italy during wartime with a fake passport and must figure out how to survive and make her way back home. The story is entertaining and the writing so witty and full of humor. I adored Sally and all her adventures.
