A review by dinoqueenreads
Somewhere You Belong by Harlow James
4.25
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes, cliffhanger for side character
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: bombing, cancer, death, death of a parent (recounted), divorce, grief, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, war
Kinky Content: cum play, finger licking good, fingering, food play (body shots), hair pulling, oral, public sex
standalone: book 1 of Carrington Cove series
final thoughts: this book was great, and I canβt wait for the rest of the series. The side characters were so fun and that cliffhanger for the next story has me needing more!
The banter and chemistry between the MCs were so good and the story had perfect pacing. I love small town romances because the characters are so great, and everyone is so nosy which brings so much drama.
The audiobook is a dual narration by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright, and they fit these characters perfectly. Both actors had great voices for their other characters that were easily distinguishable and not cringy. I was able to listen at regular speed without feeling like they were talking too slow and was also able to bump up the speed without issue which I think is exactly what is needed to appeal to a wide range of readers.
Canβt wait for the rest of this series and to read more from this author!
