Austin by Con Riley

4.5

I really liked this one! Austin definitely needed an HEA & Dom was a joy to get to know. Listened via Hoopla Anythink.

Luke by Con Riley

4.0

I’m glad we got Luke’s story so soon! This is also a second chance but different as they FWBs before. The pain is real in this one unlike the previous ones for me. I felt Luke’s pain in his backstory that always finds a way to come back irl. Nathan was a harder character to feel connected to imo & while I really enjoyed getting to know why his treatment of Luke was so terrible was bc of a terrible older adult in his life. Anyway, I’m glad for them both & happy to see that Austin gets a book s as well! Listened via Hoopla Anythink.

Sol by Con Riley

4.0

I’m enjoying this series but also know that I won’t read it again. Loved this second chance for Sol & Jayce, & even Cameron! Listened via Hoopla Anythink.

Charles by Con Riley

4.0

This was enjoyable & the first book by this author. I’m intrigued enough to continue reading & happy that this is a shorter series. Listened via Anythink Hoopla.

How to Catch a Happy Ever After by Ana Ashley

5.0

Shucks, it’s all over for that first (never again) time read of this series. From the get go it drew me in & every book was enjoyable especially in audio format. Now, I’m officially convinced that only do I want physical copies of each book, I want the audios as well.

This book was a fantastic ending covering every couple & where they are at by Tom & Wren’s wedding. It was lovely, beautiful & wonderfully written & something I find authors rarely do, leave me feeling that not only have I heard from everyone…I’m also content with this being the end. Ms. Ashley’s writing & Nick Hudson’s narration are a great duet!!

How to Catch a Vet by Ana Ashley

5.0

This series by Ana has been so freaking enjoyable! While there is occasionally one narrator’s voice is very distracting to me, I love Nick Hudson’s narration every single time. There’s a novella to finish off this series & I’ll definitely be sad to have finished reading it for the first time, by book 3 I knew I’d come back to this whole group of characters & the town of Chester Falls so I had to buy the books. Anyway now I’m off to read How To Catch a Happy Ever After & learn where everyone is at in their lives together and apart!

Real Trouble by Elle Keaton

4.0

First book by the author & the narrator was new to me as well. Personally, I won’t be reading this again & it has nothing to do with the book premise or how it was written. I just found myself ambivalent towards the main characters Soren & Dany & found myself more interested in Cody the hotel owner even if he’s hetero 😂
As for the narrator Michael Dean, I’ve only read 1 other book he narrated & I’m still on the fence.

Three Stupid Weddings by Ann Gallagher

4.75

This was such a beautiful story of two people who were so incredibly in love with each other & one who was genuinely surprised to find that he was too. Trope wise this book has best friends to lovers & both characters are on the asexual spectrum (1 is severe & the other might fall under greyace, but I could totally wrong).  Michael Ferraiuolo narrated & did a fantastic job!!

The Husband Gambit by L.A. Witt

4.5

This was my first by L.A. Witt & it was fantastic!! The premise was expected as it falls under marriage for convenience but it was a very well told story. Makes me want to check out more by the author. Greg Boudreaux & Mark Ferraiuolo were a fantastic pairing for the audiobook yet again!!

The Witch's Familiar by TJ Nichols

4.0

While  there  story had its moments of relationship angst, it didn’t feel like it lasted very long.  I did like that the story wasn’t overly long as well.
The narrator is British but hardly ever uses voice inflection to not sound like AI which made it very hard to stick with. Personally, I won’t be listening to any future books in this series & will borrow them via Kindle Unlimited instead.
