Beneath the Stars by Emily McIntire My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 This was a tough book to get through for me, not because it was bad.  I thought the story was great and the characters were real.  There was a lot of reference to substance abuse.  As the adult child of addict parents, it really struck a nerve with me so I would have to pause it to take a minute.   Chase and Lily were left by their drug addict mother.  Chase is the older sibling, so even when they were with mom (who I also think may have been Bipolar also) he was the one taking care of Lily.  Alina meets them when they move in down the street when she and Lily are 11.  They become the best of friends, and Chase ends up gravitating toward Alina also!  She was just that person that all the people seemed to gravitate to.  Eventually Chase and Alina got together (after she was crushing on him FOREVER).  But true to the mind of the c...

Sins of a Wicked Duke by Sophie Jordan My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 I really did LOVE this story!  Fallon was pretty BADASS!  She was sick of getting sacked from jobs because she would turn down the men of the houses, so she decided to disguise herself as a man so that she can get and keep a job.  GENIUS!!!  And it worked..... until the Duke walked into his Valet's room and she was just getting out of the bath 😲 Despite being caught the Duke allows her to stay on staff as a maid..... but then he can't seem to keep his eyes.... hands..... or mouth off of her.  The spice was on point... once it showed up.  But there was a serious amount of sexual tension almost throughout the whole book!  The narration was decent and kept me in the story.  Definitely a great listen!  Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice      🔥🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍😍😍 Angst      💔💔💔 ...

Owned by the Billionaire by Amelia Wilde My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think that getting to binge this whole series actually made it so much better!!!  I love Zeus and Brigit!  She is so determined to make her own future and not let it be taken from her by her father and uncle.  And this family with Zeus and Hades has got some serious disfunction happening!  But even that is better than what she was supposed to submit to!   The heat was totally there with Brigit and Zeus!  They did NOT disappoint in that department.  There was a mild amount of angst, but there was actually quite a bit of suspense and even though I read the books when they were released before, I was on the edge of my seat through some key times!  Definitely a book that I would tell people to read!  It is SO good and bordering into epic!  Love these 2 so much!  And I love the whole story with the dysfunctional family!   Story...

Dangerous Temptation by Giana Darling My rating: 3 of 5 stars I am a bit torn on this one.  I like the premise of the story, but I just don't feel like it was presented in the best way.  It ends on cliffhanger, so in all fairness it all may come together by the end and I just don't know it yet.  This is more on the Morelli/Constantine rivalry.  Tiernan takes in Brandon and Bianca when their mother dies.... their mother was the mistress of Lane Constantine.  So somehow these kids are to be used as a revenge plot that just kind of fizzled out to me.  There were a couple different ways that they were talking about that going, which has left me slightly confused on what the plan actually was.  The spice doesn't come in until late in the story, and I just didn't feel any tension in which to actually call it a slow burn.  The cliffhanger was enough to leave me quite intrigued as to what will happen in the next book..... I am...

The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 The Hunter can not kill his mark.  There was too much about her that spoke to him.  And so begins the heart of the story!  There was some great suspense in this story.  A real "who's done it?" feel.  I didn't think that there was a whole lot of spice in this one, but the sexual tension was very palpable. I am quite sure that I will be listening to more in this series.  The narrator is alright.  Not some one I would seek out to listen to , but not someone that would turn me off to a book.   Story      🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice     🔥🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍 Angst      💔💔💔 Narration  👏👏👏 View all my reviews

Callous Prince by Becker Gray My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am all over these Hell Fire boys!  I can not get enough of them!  As soon as I finish with one.... I need to move on to the next!   Now this story got to me quite a bit because Sloane is a daddy's girl, with her mom dying when she was fairly young, her dad has been the only family she has.  And Lennox is always so worried about people thinking he is just like his father, whom he does not want to be anything like!  Sloane's 2 worlds collide when she finally admits to herself that she was falling for Lennox.  And that where the angst comes to a head!  I was having to take some super deep breaths and some of the things that happened totally made my eyes get that stinging feeling!  These books have totally captivated my attention and I am ready to move on to the next one!  I need more Hell Fire and I need more Pembrooke Prep!  Loves this girl gang!...

Obsessed with His Bride by B.B. Hamel My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Dante and Aida were definitely an intriguing couple! They got together because her father gave her up as payment to Dante for a mess up he made. But then Dante was very patient waiting for her to come to him. Their back and forth was very amusing. Although I was not completely blown away by the narration. While Theo Sinclair was really engaging, I found that Chloe Ryan spoke in a way that kind if made me feel sleepy. As this is the first time I have listened to anything she has narrated I would still listen to her again in the future, as that may just have been how she interpreted Aida. I did rather enjoy some of the other characters, so I am looking forward to more in this series to see what else this family is up to!

Her Husband's Harlot by Grace Callaway My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 I read this book some years ago and remembered loving it so I thought I would give it a listen now.  Yep!  Still love it!  Nicholas and Helena were a wonderful couple!  You don't get a lot of romance books about married couples, because usually all the romance is in the woo-ing and such.  But this was fantastic.  On their wedding night, as was usual in these times, Nicholas took Helena's virginity.  She gasped and didn't seem to enjoy it (a very realistic thing you don't find in romance usually either).  He mistook this to mean that she thought he was a monster and she wouldn't want to have marital relations with him any more.  So he avoided her.  But then she found out about "the Nunnery".   She finds that her husband was invited there and so she decided to go an confront him.... that isn't exactly what happened!  ...

Wicked Idol by Becker Gray My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2021✨ So I kind of fell in puppy love with Keaton already from the other books that I read in this world.  So I kind of came in to this book expecting a lot.  Becker Gray is a new to me author, so I was not at all sure how it was going to play out..... Well it was phenomenal!  Everything I wanted his story to be.  Iris is so perfect for him that I loved her immediately!  As soon as she was introduced and his very first interaction with her I was like "YES!!!  I am so here for this!"  Keaton had me SWOONING!  Like I am at work reading it and I started to feel a bit light headed from it all.  Swoon factor is ridiculously high with this one!  There was a bit of angst that broke my teenage heart a bit!  But then the swooning came back in full force!   Now that I am done, I totally feel like I am floating on a cloud!  That is how...

Shallow by Cora Kenborn My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 This story was super unexpected.  It dealt with some really heavy issues!  And it was powerful!  Cary and Shiloh had a super  complicated relationship.  And they work through them in the worst way.  Basically agonizing over every little thing.  Constantly being suspicious of each other.  Never knowing if they can trust.  Even when they try to make it clear to each other, still not trusting.  And Damn!  You gotta love this high school frenemies, huh?  The grudges them chicks can hold onto is insane!  I thought it was a good story, there was a very relevant and powerful message with in this story!   The narrators were great! I could hear the emotions in all they said.   Definitely a story that I would recommend people listen to!   Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice      🔥🔥🔥 Swoon...

Totally Schooled by Nicole Dykes My rating: 4 of 5 stars While I really liked the story, it didn't pull out any severe emotional reactions out of me, which is the only reason why it didn't get 5 🌟.  The story is a good one.  I love the single dad who isn't looking for love aspect.  The fight that Nolan puts up at first is quite admirable.  And I was totally not expecting Rafe to be such an aggressor.  I don't know why but I didn't see that coming.  And I really loved when Rafe was finally seeing that people can and will accept him and his choices!  But he is definitely a stubborn one! I do think that I would have liked to see him work his way through his issues a little more, I didn't get the feel for when he had his "ahah" moment.  But I would still recommend this book to MM lovers!   Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice      🔥🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍😍 Angst     💔💔 ...

Tainted by Andi Jaxon My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2021!!! ✨ Another FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC story from Andi Jaxon!  There is so much I want to say about Dean and Taylor!  But I can not because I don't want to give anything away!  Dean is a really big jerk, but that comes along with how he has been treated by people who were supposed to love and be supportive of him.  Taylor brings with him that love and kindness that Jonah showed him in Bully King!  Taylor is fortunate enough to have a rather large support system.... and he shares this with Dean!  And it was needed!  I love how they interact.  Braxton, Deans best friend, has got the be the freaking funniest and I am dying to see what kind of man brings him to his knees!   This is a story that will stay with me for a long time!  I can not even articulate how MUCH I love Taylor and Dean!  I knew it was going to have to be some one so overwhelmin...

Dark Reign by Amelia Wilde My rating: 5 of 5 stars Whew!  I am still trying to process this!  Like my mind is so blown I am all over the place! Amelia went above and beyond with this one.  Her words are so artistic that I felt like they were literally painting the picture that she wanted us to see of Daphne and Emerson!  He is INTENSE!  And I AM HERE FOR IT!  While I feel like I was totally emersed into this story... I also feel like I have only scratched the surface of what Daphne and Emerson are all about.  I can not wait to get more of them and see what Daphne does with the situation she now seems to have herself in!    Emerson isn't too swoony yet.... but I see some real potential in him!  And while this was quite a slow burn..... the tension was there and when the flames ignited...... it was HOT!!! Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice      🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍 Angst  ...

An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧   ✨A TOP LISTEN OF 2021✨ Holy Swooniness!!! Benedict is totally my FAVORITE!  OMG I LOVE HIM!  He had me swooning from the very beginning!  The only thing he did that made me mad was when he asked Sophie to be his mistress and then couldn't at all understand why she wouldn't want that future, despite knowing that she was an illegitimate child.  But I suppose that is how things went back then.  This was totally a Cinderella story and I was in love with every second of it!  There were more than one occasion that I had tears in my eyes listening to this one.  I am loving this family as a whole and love that I am making my way through them via audio!  Rosalyn Landor is a fantastic story teller... she absolutely keeps me in the story!  I can not wait to get the next one to listen to!   Story    ...

King of Hearts by Ashley Munoz My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2021!!!✨ Taylor and Juan are EVERYTHING!!! This sibling's best friend/enemies to lovers/mafia/Single Mother (pregnant) was one of my favorites of the year!  Taylor turns out to be so so so much more than she seemed to be in Wild Card.  And Juan was just an protective and swoony as I knew he would be!  The craziness that they both had feelings for each other for so long, but thought that the other was too good for them, was just agonizing!  I was so into this book that I did not want to put it down.  I was literally reading it all day!  My gut started twisting during a certain point.... and then 5 minutes later I was crying my eyes out!  The feels were all over!  And these 2 are FIRE together!  Like I almost thought that my kindle was going to melt!  Definitely would recommend to anyone.  FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! Story     ...

Mafia Prince by Vi Carter My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review🎧 I have to say that I was a big fan of this story.  Maeve had me from the beginning!  Her home life, her determination.... I was all for being #TeamMaeve.  Jack had me quite angry for a bit.  But when he started to turn swoony..... he went all out!  At least in his head, lol..... I don't think that he ever quite worded his feelings properly with Maeve.  But she seemed to finally get it.  I don't really want to say that the story ended on a cliffhanger.... but it kind of did.  While Maeve and Jack's story is all told, and mysteries surrounding them have come out, there was some other stuff mentioned on the book that leads in to what will be the next book.  This book definitely had my brain working.  You never really know who to trust and I was totally feeling all that!  I am quite eager to get more from this dangerous, intriguing family! Th...

Adrift by Leigh Lennon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow! This book totally got me. Ok so Oliver and Davenport are raising their son without his mom, who was the wife in their relationship. So now it is just them and they have been grieving for a year and trying to work their way back to each other. In comes Emily. A natural with kids not so great interacting with adults (because let's face it.... Adults are Aholes). She is sweet and sassy, totally organized and fantastic with Jaden. Basically she is everything that will complete their triad! But getting her to see that is going to take some work. She has a lot of anxiety to work through and she needs to learn that she is worth the fight! Ollie and Port have their work cut out for them.... but of they can get her to see how wonderful she is..... they could be epic and they could all heal the broken pieces of each other- together! Loved the story. Dealing with the death of the mother of your child would...

Ex Best Thing by Marika Ray My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A Top Read of 2021!!! ✨ I saw that this was a "sister's ex boyfriend" story and that TOTALLY piqued my interest!  So Daire is basically ran out of town when his relationship with Amelia goes bad and he is a total jerk.  He had to come back to help out his sister, who just went through a rough time.  Daire runs into Izzy.  And even though he didn't pay her much attention when he dated her sister..... he was paying all kinds of attention now!  I felt the angst..... there was some very serious hotness!!!  And a whole lot of swooning!  For a self-proclaimed jerk he sure did a lot of swoony Hero things!  Loved it 1000%!!!  And that series epilogue was so sweet and fantastic!   Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice     🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍😍😍😍 Angst     💔💔💔💔 View all my reviews ...

How to Catch an Errant Earl by Amy Rose Bennett My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review🎧 I found this to be a very enjoyable story!  There was nothing super fantastic that jumped out at me.  But it kept me entertained and intrigued the whole way through.  Arabella and Gabriel were a pretty good match.  There were some things I learned about him in this story that I was totally caught off guard by from how he was as the friend in the fist book.  But he is a very artistic creature, and with her sense of practicality they seem to mesh well together.  He seems to be under the impression that he will not be able to stay faithful, but he makes that assumption based off his parents and then how he was behaving as a young man.  Seeing Arabella stick to her decisions about him was really fantastic!  She was making the rules, and he had to follow them.  I found the narration to be acceptable.  Sometimes the narrator so...
