📚 Review ~ The Girl Next Door

📚 The Next Door Duet

🖋 Author ~ Jennifer Sucevic

🎧 Narrator ~ Kelsey Navarro, James Anderson Foster

🖋 Genre: Enemies-to-Lovers, Sports Romance, Football Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beck and Mia

Smart, beautiful, and determined not to be one of Beck’s conquests, Mia has plans and goals. Those do not include Beck and his player attitude. What Mia doesn’t realize yet is that Beck is trying to put that past behind him. He’s more mature now, sort of…

These two characters deliver pages of sexu@l banter and a record amount of heat. I absolutely love the way Beck demonstrates his growing love for Mia. It’s in the many little things he does for her, like watching out for her at a party. She may not realize it yet, but Beck has been hers for a very long time. Beck just needs her to put him first like no one has ever done for him before. Kelsey Navarro and James Anderson Foster are wonderful as Mia and Beck. I felt like I was with Mia in her desire to be the best daughter for her distant parents, even as Beck struggles with his own place in his family as well as his need to protect Mia.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 The word forever flickers through my head. I’m not ready to go there quite yet, but I’m not too far from it either. In the back of my mind, it’s always been Mia. No other girl has ever come close to making me feel what she does.

📚 Review ~ Playing Dane

📚 Florida East University Book 1

🖋 Author ~ Hannah Gray

🎧 Narrator ~ Elizabeth Hart, Thomas Oakley

🖋 Genre: Sports Romance, Football Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dane and Layla

Dane is sexy, charming, and with rock-hard abs. Layla is an irresistible girl with so many rules and boundaries to keep people in their place, which is far away from her heart. So, Dane seems like her perfect match, just another player and only in it for the fun. Until he falls first.

Hannah delivers an incredible story full of college fun, friends, and camaraderie. Beyond that, her characters reveal the depth of their emotions, going through painful experiences. College life isn’t always just about the pranks, sleeping late, and wearing fuzzy slippers to class. It’s real life and Hannah brings out those highs and lows. Elizabeth Hart and Thomas Oakley are incredible in their portrayal of Layla and Dane. I felt like I was with Layla in her determination to keep her shields high; even as Dane struggled to repair his relationship with his twin brother.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 “I know you won’t let me be your forever. So, please, Layla, at least let me be your now.”

📚 Review ~ Puck Boy

📚 The Puck Boys of Brooks University

🖋 Author ~ Hannah Gray 

🎧 Narrator ~ Heather Firth, Thomas Oakley

🖋 Genre: Coach's Daughter, Friends with Benefits Romance, Sports Romance, Hockey Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cam and Addison

Brooks University’s Captain of the Hockey team is usually up for a good time. The only thing Cam has ever taken seriously is hockey. He’s not a guy any girl should count on. And what's supposed to be a one-night stand just doesn't stop at one unforgettable night…

When devoted single mom and college student, Addison needs a little adult time, she lands in the arms of the Hockey Team’s notorious player. Cam is a player in more ways than one. There’s something irresistible about Addison that Cam can’t forget. While Addison has to think of her daughter, not even being the Coach’s daughter is enough to keep Cam away. He’ll risk it all to prove to Addison that he is all she’s ever going to want or need.

Hannah is fantastic. I love this low burn, the building of their relationship, and how Cam uses his considerable $exy ways to charm Addison out of more than just her reservations. Heather Firth and Thomas Oakley are wonderful as Addison and Cam. The accents bring me back home.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 “This is truly magical,” she whispers. “I wish Isla could see it. She’d freak out.” “She will one day. We’ll bring her,” I say, dragging her in closer to me, tucking her small frame under my arm. “I promise.” And the scariest part of that promise I just made? I meant every word.

📚 Review ~ The Reluctant Siren

Texas Sirens: Legacy Book 2

🖋 Author ~ Lexi Blake

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Romantic Suspense, Series

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harlow and Niall and Jensen

🚁 Why Choose

🚁 Close Proximity

🚁 Second Chance

🚁 On-the-Run

🚁 Cinnamon Roll MMC

💖 Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.

💖 In this second gen installment, the intrigue continues with Harlow and her men. Desperate to prove herself, Harlow pushes boundaries and herself, putting herself in danger as she works to bring down a criminal organization. Niall is the man determined to protect her, to provide her with the love, the support she needs. Jensen not only brings the heat, the passion out in Harlow, but he needs to face his past before he can fully commit to Harlow and Niall.

💖 Another fantastic addition to the Texas Sirens world! My favorite reads include connected series and crossovers. And, The Reluctant Siren hits all the high points. Lexi Blake continues to develop excellent characters with depth of emotion, pain, and fears that are completely relatable. I love the suspense she immerses her characters into, which continues to build until the end. In all the suspense and drama, Lexi sprinkles in moments of light and humor, making her characters even more engaging.

💖 Of course, I can’t pass up a good Taggart-ism!

🎧 Review: The Maestro and the Roofer

📚The Maestro and the Roofer (A Dash of Desire Book 3)

🖋Author ~ Brianna Bancroft

 🎧Narrator ~ Claire Marlowe

🖋Features: Contemporary Romance, Novella Quick Read, Opposites Attract

⭐️Rating: 5/5

💖I love how opposites attract when this famous pianist collides with a man who knows how to use his hands.

🎼Mia Pelletier—Once the toast of the classical musical world, Mia’s personal life has taken a hard hit. Left reeling, her professional career and reputation are in shambles. 

🧰Travis Flynn—Always overlooked by his family, Travis’s quick wit and playful attitude keep everyone from getting too close or getting in too deep. That is, until Mia.

The sparks fly when these two meet! An unruly flirt, Travis and Mia quickly toss barbs and innuendos at each other. Travis’s teasing attitude and humor draw Mia out of her self-imposed isolation. Setting aside the fame, the pressure, and the expectations, Mia can just be herself with Travis. That’s what makes her time with him so special.

🎧 Claire Marlowe is fantastic giving a very saucy and playful voice to Mia and Travis. Their chemistry burns bright with her narration.

🖋Enjoyment: 5. Narrator: 5. Writing: 5.

🫦 Marvelous Moments:

“You think your grandmother would’ve liked me?” he asked coyly. Mia threw him a teasing glare and said, “I still don’t even know if I like you.”

Review: Popping the Clutch

📚 Review ~ Popping the Clutch

A CarTubers Manual for Love Book 1

🖋 Author ~ Rochelle Bradley

🖋 Genre: Fake Relationship, Forced Proximity, RomCom

⭐️ Rating: 4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dyson and Callie

A fake relationship to impress his family is just a reason for Dyson to get closer to Callie. A relentless stalker brings them even closer together.

🔧Popping the Clutch is a sweet read. Full of slow-burning humorous innuendos. While forced proximity and a fake relationship are the excuse to bring Dyson and Callie together, they were always meant to be a couple. There’s a lot more to Dyson than just his car show. That comes through in the way that he thinks about Callie. 

🔧She’s more than just a walking advertisement for her brother’s CarTube channel. “How did she learn everything, and what else did she know? I planned to plunder her mind like I plundered her b%dy.” He is also completely supportive in helping her get her own show up and running. 

🔧Getting to know Dyson’s family was a fun experience. I especially like the way the women not so subtly keep pushing Dyson and Callie together. However, Dyson’s cousin needs to be disowned.

🖋 Enjoyment: 5. Readability: 4. Writing: 5. 

🖋 Setting: 5. Plot: 4. Characters: 5. 

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 Dyson: She had asked if we were still pretending. How would she react if I told her I never had?

Wow! I NEED an Oliver to be my hero! Lulu and Oliver are amazing together. I love the way their story developed. It was so sweet and easy. They just fit together perfectly. 

Oliver fits right in with the Gallo men. All of them want nothing more than to support the ones they love. There should definitely be more Gallo men in the real world! For new readers and longtime fans of Chelle Bliss, I hope you enjoy Lulu and Oliver’s romance as much as I did.
