(Audio Review) All of You is the 1st book in the Winslow series and dives into the romance of Wren and Oliver. Although it’s a standalone novel, you’ll find the context of their story easier to understand if you read the prequel beforehand.
Basically, Wren and Oliver were childhood friends who had feelings for each other, even back then. Circumstances caused them to drift apart and they never got the chance to cultivate their romance then. A chance encounter (seen in the prequel) brings them back into each other’s lives. After which, they decide to (finally) pursue their feelings and (finally) give their romance a go. Although, their feelings for each other are pure, and it seems like it would be so easy to just be together, they encounter some problems in the form of Oliver’s ex-fiancée, who is hell bent on destroying Wren and Oliver’s burgeoning relationship.
This book was really enjoyable. Wren and Oliver were so cute together. You could see their love for each other, and their connection was strong. I was rooting for them throughout!
If you like your romance drama filled, this is the book for you. Also, if you’re in need for some small-town, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance goodness, this book also features these tropes.
Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor & Robert Hatchet, their dual narrations were excellent. The performances from both were easy to listen to, helping bring the characters, and the story to life! I highly recommend the audiobook version of this story.

4.5 Stars! Brother’s best friend/ Best friend’s sister romance on an island? Sign me up!
(Audio Review) Dalton and Taylor have known each other for year4.5 Stars! Brother’s best friend/ Best friend’s sister romance on an island? Sign me up!
(Audio Review) Dalton and Taylor have known each other for years, Dalton being Taylor’s brother’s best friend. Taylor crushed on Dalton for years and especially when they were younger, but Dalton doesn’t seem to reciprocate. Years later, when Dalton is unceremoniously dumped before his wedding, he has no one to go with on his luxurious island honeymoon. Taylor’s brother suggest he takes her as she is free. She is currently in limbo from an issue at her university and needs a distraction. What better distraction than a paid for luxury vacation. However, now in close proximity, she has to try hard to keep her feelings in check and she doesn’t think Dalton feels the same.
This was such a cute and fun vacation/summer romance! I loved how the author was able to show us the history the characters have and dive into their feelings for each other in current times. This was spicy but also fun to read! I also loved how this wasn’t your typical brother’s best friend romance; Taylor’s brother was actually supportive of them and I really liked that!
Overall, the author was able to build something great with this book. Although short, it packs such a punch! I fully enjoyed my listening experience!
Narrated by Stephanie Kay and Gideon Frost. They brought out the emotions, and the story and characters were able to shine through their voices. I truly enjoyed their performances and would recommend this audiobook!...more
(Audio Review) This was such a sweet book! Close to You is the prequel to Oliver and Wren’s love story. When they get locked 4.5 Stars! Sexy and Sweet!
(Audio Review) This was such a sweet book! Close to You is the prequel to Oliver and Wren’s love story. When they get locked in their old high school, they finally get to speak after avoiding each other for so many years. We get a peak at their childhood friendship and budding relationship. But with Oliver due to leave their hometown of Winslow Grove soon, can they have their second chance and rekindle what they could have had?
Even though this was short, as it was a prequel, the author did a great job with building a full picture of the details of their past moments. And, I was fully invested their story. I look forward to diving into Oliver and Wren’s full love story once the series comes out.
Narrated by Robert Hatchet and Samantha Brentmoor, they were amazing as Oliver and Wren respectively. They did well with bringing the characters and the story to life!...more
Cute, second chance, small town romance! Loved this!

(Audio Review) When Aspen’s business and apartment burns down, she has no choice other than to return to her hometown of Winter Falls temporarily. Except things in Winter Falls might not go as seamless as she hopes considering her ex – Lyric – still lives there.
This was soo cute! I loved the chemistry that the characters had with each other. This is a story about second chances. Aspen and Lyric are high school sweethearts whom, through a huge misunderstanding, both end up heartbroken. They both really loved each other very much and thought they’d be together forever. And, it’s obvious the love is still there. Now that Aspen is back, can they finally resolve their issues and re-kindle the romance? I genuinely enjoy this. I also loved the small town of Winter Falls that this story is set in. The overall vibe was great. Specifically, the rules regarding the entire town being green and caring so much about the environment was right up my street as a hippie at heart! ...more

It’s about our girl Cora and her two besties, Wilder and Ezra. They’ve known each other since childhood. Cora had always had feelings for them both but never acted on it because she thought she had to choose, and she couldn’t. So decided that if she could have both, she’d have none. Recently, she’s moved aways for uni, and is now is in a new relationship that isn’t going well. After speaking to Wilder and Ezra on the phone, she realises just how much she misses them and how unhappy with her current situation she is. She proceeds to let out her frustrations in an old defunct blog that she thought only she had access to. Except Wilder ends up accidently reading it. This leads him and Ezra taking a road trip to see Cora and bringing her wildest fantasies to life.
This was relatively low-angst between the three characters’ relationship. I also loved how it touched on some heavier topics relating to depression. It also gave some good plus-size rep. The BDSM aspects were also well written.
Narrated by Felicity Delacroix and Christian Leatherman. They were the perfect choices for this story and complimented each other well. Christian Leatherman did amazingly voicing both Wilder and Ezra, and choosing different voices to represent both characters so that they were individually recognisable. Overall, they were also able to bring the story and characters to life! I truly enjoyed this! ...more
(Audio Review) After Shay’s left at the altar, her future plans come crashing down. She then finds outThis was legit just a cute, baked, jammy vibe!!!
(Audio Review) After Shay’s left at the altar, her future plans come crashing down. She then finds out soon after that she has inherited a tulip farm from her step gran with the stipulation of being married. Cue hottie Noah, her childhood friend who lives next door to the tulip farm.
The pinning in this was just so damn adorable! In A Jam has the perfect blend of humour and complex emotions. It was just so charming; it had the hot, grumpy hero; the small-town setting was cute AF; and I also fell for the side characters (Noah niece was just hilarious and the female friendships here, chef’s kiss!) Plus. the spice level of this book was just top tier! Just overall amazing!
Pick this up for your next marriage of convenience, small-town, single parent read. I swear you won’t be disappointed!
Narrated by Jason Clarke and Kitt Swann, I fell in love with this book more because of their narration. They both did excellently in bringing Shay and Noah and the story to life! Highly recommend!...more
