Audio Review: Pride of Honor

Image
Pride of Honor by Andrea K. Stein My rating: 3 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Heather Tracy & Arthur Rowan I wasn't blown away but it was a pretty good story.  I just don't know that it was executed well.  The narration was good, but I think that there were parts that may have missed the mark.  Sophie has to marry so that she can get her inheritance, but her parentage isn't great so making a suitable match is going to be tough.  Captain Arnaud was in shore leave and ended up saving Sophie from being kidnapped.  It ends up being decided that she needs a bodyguard, which being as independent as she is, didn't take to it that well.  Arnaud falls for her but thinks that she deserves better than a man that will leave to go to sea for 18-24 months at a time.  But he gets to watch her try to make a match with some other man.  Jealousy is funny to watch.  If you aren't looking for somethi...

Review: Resisting the Grump

Resisting the Grump by Ashley Munoz My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ok... so Ashley Munoz has stepped up her spice game y'all!!! AND I AM HERE FOR IT!!!  Yesssss girl!!!    Davis is 🥵🥵🔥💦 and ohhhh so swoony!  Raelyn was in love with Davis when she was a teenager, bit he was 5 years older than her and didn't even notice her at all..... plus he was in a really bad place in his life and was not very nice to her when she tried to get him to notice her.  Well, she gets her hopes up just to be let down in a very rude AF fashion... so she leaves.  4 years, and a college degree. later she comes back home to find that he parents have befriended him and become the only family that Davis really has.  So that means she is forced to be around him, but he doesn't recognize her.  The ups and downs with these 2 are like a crazy roller coaster. And the mouth that Davis has on him...... whew!!!  Rae is quite sassy and determined to not...

Audio Review: Driven Roads

Image
Driven Roads by Tonya Clark My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Scarlett Everdeen & Walker Williams This was a very cute story.  Jordyn is deaf, lost her hearing when she was 10.  Her dream had always been to be a singer and that didn't change just because she couldn't hear anymore.  So she found someone who could teach her to feel the music.  She had very strong determination and she was going to make it happen.  She ends up getting an audition with Driven Roads..... and they bring her on....and Asher falls in love with her.  I didn't feel any angst in this story at all.  There were a few sad points, but nothing that ripped my heart out or made me cry.  The narration was great!  I loved Walker Williams.... totally made me think of Matthew McConaughey.    Story          🌟🌟🌟(I will go with 3.5) Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon...

Review: Penalty

Image
Penalty by Jacob Chance My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ok so I did not see that twist coming until it was there!  Holy crazy jealousy!  Anyway this story about Brady and Harlow was a great one.... typical popular jock used to getting what he wants.... finds a woman he wants who doesn't want him..... or does she??  His persistence wore her down and her pure heart made him fall.  I love their story!  Their conflict is not something I could even imagine dealing with and I am super glad that she didn't allow herself to run right back to him immediately when she saw him again, no matter how broken he looked! Read it in one day... it wasn't super long and I just couldn't out it down!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔💔 One-click here   ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3RjpFBF ...

Review: God of Malice

Image
God of Malice by Rina Kent My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well this was a surprise!  When people say "check trigger warnings" they are NOT kidding with this one!  After that first couple of chapters I was super intrigued and I needed to know what the heck was going on... where was this going to go?  But I sure didn't think that I would ACTUALLY be rooting for Killian.... or that I would squeal with joy when Glyndon was getting jealous!  There was one scene where Killian said THE SWOONIEST THING!  Which some might not think was that sweet... but given the fact that he really doesn't understand "feelings" it had my falling over with my hand to my chest!  LOVED IT!   I wouldn't recommend this book to EVERYONE because I know there are A LOT of people that would not be able to get past the beginning.  But if you can get past that, and if you can keep an open mind, this is one FANTASTIC STORY!  And with the ...

Audio Review: When Forever Changes

Image
When Forever Changes by Siobhan Davis My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Sarah Puckett & Wen Ross Oh the angst and heartbreak!  I cried so many times!  Not the ugly sobbing kind.... but there were a lot of tears!  This is a story about Gabby and Dylan..... or is it?  Could it be about Gabby and Slater? Well I won't spoil it.... but it was one of those stories that sucks you and and will not let you go!  I feel like this review is so difficult to write because I don't want to give a lot away!  But Gabby has know both men since she was a child.  Dylan was her best friend.... Slater was her brother's best friend.  All I kept thinking so many times was "why is Slater so freaking swoony!!!" But I will not lie, both men pissed me off a good few times!  Gabby had some tough choices to make.  And some of them were bound to break hearts.   I very much enjoyed this book.... as I w...

Review: The Scoundrel Falls Hard

Image
The Scoundrel Falls Hard by Sophie Jordan My rating: 4 of 5 stars Loved it! From the start I just KNEW that Kellen was going to be the type to have me swooning! And he did not disappoint! I really love how Gwen was really the one to rescue him, and that was how their whole relationship began. She was so worried about not wanting to need him, that she forgets that she saved his life! That is a HUGE debt to repay. These 2 had me all twisted up real quick.... the sexual tension was on point!!! I think I need to go back and read the others in the series!

Review: Beneath His Stars

Image
Beneath His Stars by Amie Knight My rating: 4 of 5 stars Please hide all sharp objects before getting to the end of this book!  (it ends on a crazy AF cliffhanger!) Ok so Adam is a man from the wrong side of the bridge.  Liv is living in the world of the rich, but doesn't feel like she belongs there.  They cross paths under the stars that her dad showed to her before he died.  Adam's mom was obsessed with astronomy also and it rubbed off on him.  (she had died too, so the loss of a parent was something they also had in common).  But as with any "wrong side of the tracks" story, no one wants to them to be together.  You get to witness this beautiful love bloom with these 2 just to see them ripped away (I don't think that's a spoiler, given the prologue)  I am quite eager to read In Her Space  so that I can find out what happens.... you get a LOT more from that cliffy than just them getting ripped apart....there are...

Review: The Reckless Union

Image
The Reckless Union by Monica Murphy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Awww... I love Perry and Charlotte!  The conclusion of their story was everything I wanted! Perry gets to be her Hero while she also figures some things out for herself.  He stands up to her dad.  Caroline is still a ..... well Caroline.  And I am noy going to lie... I did want to push her over a time or 2.  For being one of the people that arranged their marriage she sure isn't all that nice of a mother in law to Charlotte.... ugh!  Whatever.  Anyways.... I was happy with the way their story went.  I love Perry and knew he would be a super swoony Hero!  And I think Charlotte, though chosen for him, is exactly who he needed!  Story         🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice         🔥🔥🔥 Swoon       😍😍😍😍 Angst        💔💔💔 One-click here   ~~~>...

Review: Landon

Image
Landon by S.M. Shade My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a great story about determination and hard work.  Zoe is a 23 year old college student who is also taking care of her brother after her parents have kicked him out.  She goes out to the club with her friend one night and meets Landon, an overly arrogant man that is quite forward with his proposition.... she leaves him confused on the dance floor.  A couple days later she shows up to apply for a cleaning job.... Landon is the man looking for a housekeeper!  She ends up accepting the job and they start to get to know each other... neither is trying to fall for the other, but it kind of happens before they are ever even "together".  A lot of suspenseful moments and such had me on the edge of my seat unable to to turn the pages fast enough! Very much looking forward to reading the stories for the other guys!  Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice    ...

Audio Review: Forbidden to Love

Image
Forbidden to Love by Siobhan Davis My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧            ✨A TOP LISTEN OF 2022✨ Narrated by Sarah Puckett & Michael Gallagher There is so much I could say about this story!  I took 2 FULL PAGES of notes!  Basically Natalia is in love with Leo, who is best friends with her brother, and very low on the mafia scale. She is basically a mafia princess so she has been promised to another man that is an heir to a territory.  And Leo is in love with her too..... but they can not be together.  There are so many things that happen over a span of 13 or 14 years that keeps them apart before they both finally give in and go after what they want.  But it is not without risk, and they both know this!   There is so much that happens, that my heart was breaking over and over again.  And there was a time when I felt sorry for Leo... and another where I was lik...

Review: Gravity

Image
Gravity by Sara Cate My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holy mother of craziness I was not expecting that ending!!  I don't know what I was expecting but I was definitely thrown for a loop!  This crazy love triangle starts off with Emma & Preston, who die in a helicopter crash.  Emma is Zara's twin sister.  Preston is Nash's brother, Alistair's son.  While Emma and Preston are dating, Emma and Zara spend a lot of time at their private island.  That is where Zara starts to have a crush on Nash..... and Alistair starts to have a thing for Zara.   After the crash, the lives of those left behind plunge head first into a downward spiral.  So Alistair offers Zara a lot of money to come to the island and work on helping Nash get back to himself, since Nash seems to respond to her.  That starts a whole love triangle that results in some crazy - spicy scenes!   Normally I don't do well with Love Triangles because I...

Review: Sweet DeTails

Image
Sweet DeTails by P.A. Vachon My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was a lot spicier than the last one, but not really angsty at all.  But once again I was so loving this couple that I totally could have read a whole lot more about them!  Their story was entirely too short for me.  But again I was super into their story and did not want to put it down... I think I may have to get into the other books in this world that other authors wrote.   Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice     🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon   😍😍😍 Angst     💔💔 One-click here ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3PbVACW View all my reviews

Review: Below the Surface

Below the Surface by P.A. Vachon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow!  I picked this book up at an author event and I am so glad that I did.  I wasn't sure, because if you know me then you know that I am not really into PNR stuff.  But this one with mermaids was fantastic!  I honestly was bummed that it wasn't longer!  There was not a whole lot of spice.... but there sure were some parts that made me feel uber stabby!  And when I thought I was over it.... some more of those moments showed up again!  Some people just don't know when to quit!  I am moving on to the next book by this author in this world and I am super excited to see what happens in it!   Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice     🔥🔥 Swoon    😍😍😍 Angst     💔💔💔💔 One-click here ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3dkTmDZ View all my reviews

Audio Review: Hold Me Forever

Image
Hold Me Forever by Layla Hagen My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Savannah Peachwood & Jacob Morgan I thought that this was a really cure story!  I feel like there could have been more angst.... a bigger conflict.  It really didn't seem like there was much of one at all.  This would be a super great pallet cleanser for someone between dark or emotional romances to take a break from all the craziness.  There were some quite funny moments that made me LOL and a decent amount of spice.  Narration was great.... Savannah and Jacob are always a favorite for me.

Review: Blackmail

Image
Blackmail by Amelia Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars Holy fucking hotness!!! 🥵🥵🥵 Bristol gets caught stealing money from Will's company. So he decides that she will pay him back with her body..... she is a virgin, and the scene where she loses that v-card is the HOTTEST first time scene I have read in A LONG FUCKING TIME!!! I love the conflict in Will's mind. I do wish that he would have given in to the swoony part a bit more, but it is totally understandable as to why he keeps his emotional distance. I am absolutely invested in this story and I will be waiting as patiently as I can for the next book! The cliffy on this one wasn't too bad.... but still has me dying for the next book!

Audio Review: Stolen Lies

Image
Stolen Lies by K. Webster My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Sarah Puckett & Jeffrey Holz The story picks up a year later!  And lets just say that where Thalia ended up being was rather shocking to me.  I knew that she was going to end up pregnant (which she discovered in the first book) but I was not sure who the dad was going to be.  While I loved how devoted Kostas was for some reason he just wasn't as swoony as he had been in the first book. Thalia was more of a badass than she was before but I think that would be expected.   Over all I am happy with how the whole thing went down.  The narration was pretty decent, although I am still not a fan of Jeffrey's female voice.  Honestly he makes them sound whiny and it is rather annoying. If that wasn't an issue then the narration would be better rated.   Story         🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice        ...

Audio Review: Ignite

Image
Ignite by Cassandra Robbins My rating: 5 of 5 stars (original review, audio included below) Man oh man!  I was so sad to see this one end.... but it legit has one of the swnooniest endings ever!  Anytime I read a series, although I may love all the books... there is always a clear favorite couple for me.  Not this time!  I thought it was going to be Edge and Dolly.... but Axle and Antoinette give them a run for their money!  While Edge & Dolly has been written in the stars since they were kids, Axle and Antoinette are the ones who's paths should never had crossed.  The most UNLIKELY of couples and yet they are so freaking perfect together!  Their hotness is off the charts!  And can I just say that I love how all the Disciple women are?!?  They are fiercely loyal to each other, just as they are to their men. I really want them all to be my best friends!  This is most definitely a top read of the year for m...
