Audio Review: Legally Yours

Image
Legally Yours by Nicole French My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh man!  Brandon Sterling and Skylar Crosby have got e VERY complicated relationship.  He goes from  just wanting sex to wanting it all!  She learns about his past, and he learns more about hers than she had wanted him to learn. He really does sweep in like a knight in shining armor.  There were most definitely some twists in the story.  Some drama that I did not see coming.  And of coarse there was a part that made me cry.... actually it was more like a couple parts that made me cry.  The ending was a huge cliffhanger that I should have seen coming, but there was so much going on that it totally blind sided me!  So now I am eager to get into the second book so I can see how this most recent drama plays out!!! April 2023 Update for Audio Review:  Narrated by CJ Bloom I love Brandon and Skyler's story!  The only thing I wish was that there was more f...

Audio Review: Highest Bidder

Highest Bidder by Sara Cate My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by Lessa Lamb and Stephen Borne Holy Hotness!!!  This story was πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦.  Daisy and Ronan were so freaking hot!  And OMG why.... WHY was this man so damn swoony?!?!?!?  Like.... hot AF and swoony AF!  Sara Cate really knows how to write a HERO that women will box over (even if he is fictional).  I love the story of how she came to be working at SPC in the first place.  And when the lie came out..... and Ronan's reaction..... I CRIED!!!  (which I haven't been doing with a lot of stories these days).  The devastation was REAL! My heart was breaking for them!  Ad to say I was ecstatic at the ending is putting it SO lightly! It went beyond my wildest dreams for the PERFECT HEA!  I have been loving this series and this book did not disappoint at all!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice  ...

Audio Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Image
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Santino Fontana Getting this story was rather interesting.  This is the story of how Coriolanus Snow became the President that he was during the Hunger Games.   The most intriguing part is that he was a mentor in a very primitive version of the Hunger Games.  And it even seems like he is the reason that the HGs are what they end up being by the 74th year.  The tributes are treated better.  The arena is more interesting.  They involve the people in the Capitol and the Districts more.  Snow was a mentor to the District 12 Girl!  Lucy was such an enigmatic character that is later embodied in Katniss!  They have so much in common.... so you can totally see why he has issues with Katniss..... But basically through the process Snow falls in love with his tribute.... and does all he can to help her becau...

Review: Falling for the Fake Boyfriend

Image
Falling for the Fake Boyfriend by S.E. Rose My rating: 4 of 5 stars Lucy is Emmett's Biology tutor.... and she isn't impressed.  But she does have a HUGE crush on the QB for the football team.  When she shows up to an after party, Emmett figures it out!  And since he has got WAY too much going on to add a girlfriend to his life, he tells her that they should fake date and it will get her crush's attention.  She agrees to the arrangement.  But we all know that fake dating doesn't tend to stay fake!  I love the way that he helps her fin her confidence!  And the way that she is so supportive of whatever he wants to do!  They are totally a perfect match!  I was swooning on a fairly regular basis while reading this book....and once they got to business..... they sure did make it hot!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon  ...

Audio Review: Mockingjay

Image
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧   Narrated by:  Tatiana Maslany This part if the story didn't leave a lot of room for swooning.... but the story was strong!  And the ANGST!!!  Gah!  I thought I would find my heart on the outside of my shirt!  That is how badly parts of this book ripped my heart out!  I think that in the end Katniss absolutely made the right decision!   Peeta was the most deserving of her love!  Everything he went through he did it for her and not because he thought it would win favor!  He did it because he wanted her happiness more than he wanted his life!  And he fought so hard to come back to her through everything that he did.  She once asked him to stay with her, his reply was ALWAYS..... and he meant it! Gale always promised to take care of her family when she couldn't and keep them safe, in the end, not only did he NOT ...

Audio Review: Catching Fire

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Tatiana Maslany 🚨May Contain Spoilers!!!🚨 GAH!!!  I forgot how much that cliffhanger had me wanting to throw things! Ok so thanks to the Quarter Quell..... Katniss and Peeta have to go back into the arena!  Things are a bit strained between them when they first get home from the first games..... he is in love with her, and she just cant admit that she loves him too.  But moving on..... Gale decided he wanted in on the kissing action and of coarse..... Snow knew about it!  Because of Katniss they reassigned the peacekeepers in District 12 to be harder on the people.  So after everything that happened when her and Peeta were back home, she basically decides that Peeta is the one that needs to live because the Capitol wont let her live in peace, ever!  This time they made allies with other tributes.  And Katniss had no ...

Review: Miss Hap

Image
Miss Hap by Aubrey Bondurant My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2023✨ Yes!!!  Yes!!! Yesssss!!!!!   Leo and Addy are a perfect match!  From the beginning they are so opposite that they are freaking perfect!  And I love how he has the family that she is in desperate need of too!  And she owns that Miss Hap title to a T.  This girl couldn't seem to get anything right!  And yet, despite his frustration with her being a "hot mess" she couldn't resist her!  The number of times I laughed while reading about these 2 was just too many to count!  And the tears!  I cried!  Not ugly cry, but a few tears rolled down my cheeks!  And I feel like Addy stayed true to herself through it all..... such a great book!  And a great lesson is looking at the brighter side of things!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice           πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon  ...

Audio Review: The Hunger Games

Image
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Tatiana Maslany 🚨May Contain Spoilers🚨 Ok so I read the books back when they first cam out.... and then I watched the movies.... but recently I found myself on the Hunger Games side of Tiktok and they all had theories and all kinds of cool thoughts so it made me want to reread them..... but my focus is crap these days, so I listened to the audio!   It's so funny because I think that Katniss is a very big hearted human.  She volunteers so that her sister doesn't have to go to the games.  She was nice to Peeta and wanted to repay him for the things that he did for her, but had a hard time reconciling that with the fact that only one could live through the games.  After he professed his love or her during interviews, she couldn't quite understand why he was working with the career tributes once they got into the arena.  She allies with...

Audio Review: Let Me Love You

Let Me Love You by Siobhan Davis My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Sarah Puckett, KC Sheridan, Logan Anare & Sam McGovern Whew!  That cliffy had me raging!  So I was super eager to get to this book!  Dillon really picked up his swoon factor after being a complete jerk face.  It's just too bad that it took Vivien's life falling apart for him to see the error of his ways.  I loved the way that Ash welcomed Vivien back into the BFF fold with no hesitation one she realized what had her being ghosted, and even went as far as to knock some sense into her brother regarding his behavior.   All in all I loved this story of a woman that falls in love with twin brothers in different countries.  It is a crazy situation that screams SOAP OPERA! but it was very interesting way of going about everything.  All questions that I had were eventually answered and I was very happy with the e...

Review: Give

Give by Leigh Lennon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Luca and Anisten are hot AF!  She is a take charge woman who falls for a Dom!  GO freaking figure! Their dynamic is fantastic though.  They just have to work out how to navigate it all.  And all the side characters made this story super entertaining!  I am loving Murph!  And Penn.... whew. I can not wait to see how the women they fall for take them down!  I love how patient Luca was with Anisten and how he let her work her way into things, even some things that she had said no to before... he helped her to feel like it was also ok to change her mind, and broaden her experiences!  Definitely a world I want more of!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’” One-click here ~~~  https://amzn.to/40WsgGy ...
