The banter between the main characters was so good and I really loved how cute these two were.
Aria Holland and Elliot Matthews were amazing in this audiobook and I really enjoyed listening to them voice Mimi and Whit.
This was my first book by Ashley Cade and it was very enjoyable. This short, sweet, brother’s best friend, forbidden, forced proximity, second chance This was my first book by Ashley Cade and it was very enjoyable. This short, sweet, brother’s best friend, forbidden, forced proximity, second chance romance was well-written and captivating. I loved the chemistry, tension, and angst between Dalton and Taylor and when they finally gave into their feelings.
I enjoyed the narration by Stephanie Kay and Gideon Frost. Stephanie’s narration as Taylor was perfect and she captured her character’s personality so well. I also enjoyed Gideon’s narration for the most part, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of his female voice.

Seth and Teddy’s chemistry was off the charts and I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two!
I could not get enough of this book because of Tyler Tetsuda and Emma Wilder's narration. These two were fantastic in the first part of this duet and I can't wait to listen to the conclusion of this duet.

The book revolves around the two main characters, Adrian and Jordan, and their battles with addiction and dealing with past trauma.
Ashley Rae has written characters that made me feel. These characters were flawed, imperfect, and real. I was so invested in the book. The character’s actions made me frustrated and after reading this book I felt empty emotionally because of the heavy topics.
The cliffhanger nearly ripped my heart out. I can’t wait for the second book!

I was highly anticipating tKiss to Salvage is the continuation of Jade and Prescott’s story and takes place right after the events of Kiss to Shatter.
I was highly anticipating the conclusion to this duet after the cliffhanger from Kiss to Shatter and Anna B. Doe did not disappoint. This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. There were sad, heartbreaking moments, yet this story was inspirational.
I loved Jade and Prescott together and the journey to these two broken people coming together was so beautifully written. I was rooting for these two and they did. Together these two are stronger. I can’t wait to read more by Anna B. Doe!

This novella was fast-pacedThis enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, small town, childhood crush, holiday romance was a fun, short, smutty read. This novella was fast-paced, spicy, and entertaining.
Cass and Mary have known each other since they were kids and when they run into each other as adults they realize they have a connection. The sexual tension between the two was *chef’s kiss*.
This was sweet, spicy, and perfect to put you into the holiday mood.
The only reason this is getting 4 stars is because 5 chapters was not enough and I need more!
Here With You is a best friend’s little sister, childhood crush, holiday, billionaire, small town romance. Elisse was someone dedicated to putting herHere With You is a best friend’s little sister, childhood crush, holiday, billionaire, small town romance. Elisse was someone dedicated to putting her family’s needs before her dreams and I related to that so much. Theo was a broken man after the death of his sister and while he had dreams as the only child and heir to a Fortune 500 company he didn’t have much of a choice. His home has always been Winter Valley and Theo considers Elisse’s family the Bradfords as his family as well.
This book was so cute and I adored the FMC! Elisse and Theo have known each other all their lives, but given the fact that they are connected by Elisse’s brother the relationship development was slow. This book was a short, quick read and can be read as a standalone.

I know I say this about every Maren Moore book, but it’s like every time she writes and releases a new alpha daddy he becomes my new favorite.
The Scorecard was one of my most anticipated releases of April 2022 and Maren did not disappoint! We’ve met Graham in previous Totally Pucked books and I have fallen in love with his persona. In the Scorecard, Graham meets his match and the woman he’s been obsessed with since he laid eyes on her. Emery has always been attracted to Graham, but her past has put her off of athletes and players, yet she can’t resist the allure of Graham Adams. They fall into bed with each other and become frenemies with benefits. Of course things aren’t always easy in the Totally Pucked world and she finds herself accidentally pregnant which leads to them becoming fake engaged.
I am obsessed with Graham and Emery. They are my favorite secondary characters I have been dying to read about and Maren paired them together! Their chemistry was *chef’s kiss* and I loved seeing them open up and learn about each other. I loved their connection and the allure of finding someone you can’t resist even if you do despise them.
This is a duet and up until the last page everything seemed fine and then bam– Maren dropped a jaw-dropping twist and I’m curious to see where Graham and Emery’s story will conclude in The Final Score!
Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Final Score: I love Maren Moore’s books and the conclusion to Emery and Graham’s duet is no different. I devoured part 1 in no time, but this one took me a little longer especially because it was heavier on the emotion.
In part 1 of this duet, The Scorecard, we saw Emery and Graham’s developing relationship and the rather comical, yet sexy situation these two got themselves into. In part 2, The Final Score we see Emery and Graham navigate parenthood and other unforeseen circumstances.
In The Final Score, Moore shows us why these two are so perfectly suited. Graham is the selfless father, partner, and son. He is impulsive, but sweet, authentic, caring, and so in love with Emery and his girls. Through his actions he is constantly showing how much he cares for his family. Emery’s character has evolved from when we were first introduced to her. We see the emotional, caring mother and partner who is supportive and strong no matter the difficulties these two face.
This book was definitely different from the other books in The Totally Pucked series and the conclusion to Emery and Graham’s duet holds a special place in my heart. Moore has done a fantastic job depicting strong relationships between family and friends that are no less than family.
The Final Score was a heartbreaking, emotional read that addressed so many important topics. The ending was perfect for these two and I can’t wait to read the stories of the rest of the characters’ in this universe.

When Harper Scott is threatened by her brother’s business enemies she is whisked away to Sycamore Mountain by Vince Moretti, her brother’s best friend and the man who broke her heart ten years ago after she confessed her feelings.
I could tell from their banter, radiating sexual tension, and “hate” towards one another that this book was going to be hot. It was fast-paced and I loved the way the way these two came together with a bang.
Elyse Kelly writes phenomenal novellas and this one’s no different. This book was packed with a good plot, amazing characters, lots of spice, and all the emotions. It was a really quick read (under an hour) and I can’t wait to see what Kelly writes next!

All the Little Things by Rachel Leigh is the angsty best friend’s brother romance I was waiting for!
Our main characters are Ryker, Kit, and Carter. KiAll the Little Things by Rachel Leigh is the angsty best friend’s brother romance I was waiting for!
Our main characters are Ryker, Kit, and Carter. Kit is Carter’s younger sister and Ryker is Carter’s best friend.
I absolutely loved Kit and Ryker’s story. The slow burn romance, mystery, angst, and a whole lot of feels.
Ryker and Kit grew up together, so much so that Ryker was like Kit’s brother and a good friend to both Carter and Kit. Their relationship is one that’s a bit forbidden, but one that was inevitable once they got to their teens.
One night changed things forever and Ryker moves away without a goodbye. Two years later he’s back and life’s given them another chance to pursue things. Ryker and Kit’sattraction to each other is intense and their chemistry is undeniable.
Until Next Time is the first book in the Against All Odds: The St. James Family series by Claudia Burgoa. I did not expect to love this book and charaUntil Next Time is the first book in the Against All Odds: The St. James Family series by Claudia Burgoa. I did not expect to love this book and characters as much as I did. Not only is this a sweet, heartwarming, and touching romance, but it also addresses how people grieve the loss of a loved one especially in the case of it being a partner.
Zach St. James lost his wife of six months, Callie Brassard, in a tragic accident. One would expect the loss of a partner to be traumatizing, but their relationship was toxic and it affected Zach deeply. Two years later, he is still broken and struggling with the loss. Zach is the owner of a successful chain of coffee shops and has made it his mission to help people to reduce his feelings of guilt.
One day he comes across a little girl’s wish to help her single mother be happy while visiting his sister-in-law for her podcast. This little girl’s mother, Autumn Wickerton, lost her partner in a tragic car accident. Six years after her death she’s still grieving and living for her daughter Matilda. Zach feels this strange connection to Matilda and wants to help both her and her mother. What he doesn’t expect is to heal his broken heart and find the family he didn’t know he wanted.
This book was so emotional and heartbreaking, yet cute. Reading about the losses both Zach and Autumn experienced was so sad, but the way their family came together was adorable. Matilda was the cutest seven-year-old girl and I absolutely adored her character. Each of the characters, their stories, personalities, and emotions were crafted with such care I couldn’t help, but fall in love with them. This book was an emotional rollercoaster of a read and it is written beautifully. This book was a phenomenal and truly memorable tale of love, family, grief, and healing.
Until Next Time is one of my favorite books by Claudia Burgoa and I devoured this in one sitting.

The writing is amazing and I devoured this book so quickly! The book was also super spicy. We got a few moments of swoon, but there was more of a focus on steamy times. I really wish there was more when it came to the relationship as everything happened really fast. Overall, I enjoyed this holiday read that had a ton of spice and holiday vibes.
