This is a cute story but I didn’t love that it was told in third person POV.
The story has good plot and was mostly enjoyable. Narration was really good.
A non bionary rep was nice to see and there was lots of spice.

LOVED IT!!!

Friends to lovers
DUET narration - Aiden Snow & Mollie Stark
Loved the narration and the story!
This is the first in the series and follows Lily and Owen.
Lily is Owen’s brothers ex girlfriend and his new assistant as he tries to navigate the sale of his families lumber business.
Lily is younger and trying to save up to move to NYC for college and to live with her best friends.
Owen is older and only back in town for the sale of his family’s business.
I loved that they developed a friendship and mutual respect for each other before becoming more.
I can not wait for the rest of this series to be in audio!

Small Town
Single mom/dad
Cop x Nurse
Romantic suspense (murder mystery vibes)
Found family
Dual Narration - Gregory Salines & Jill Smith
The narration was really good. I enjoyed these two voices.
Vivian and her son Mateo are kind of on the run, in hiding looking for a new start. Her ex husband is a dirty cop and she wants to be as far away from him as she can afford.
Everett is a police officer who had a son of his own and is a bit prickly. He is trying to solve a few local murders.
These two are instantly attracted to each other but Vivian is fighting it because of her ex husband being a cop and her experience with him. Everett had this urge to protect Vivian and Mateo at any cost.
I enjoyed their story mystery mixed with the romance in this story. Over all it was a good listen.

I enjoyed this story. It was spicy and a fun listen. I enjoyed the narrators.
I feel it could have used a little more plot development in a few spots but nothing that completely ruined the story I was able to keep listening and enjoying. Lots of laughs.
This is book two in the love at all cost series. It follows Ben and Layla.

Aleks and Mia’s story was so good!

Mia is a pop star with a new album coming out soon and a controlling gaslighting ex.
When Mia gets a bad review her publicist comes up with a fake dating plan to boost her up and also help Aleks.
Mia and Aleks grew up as teenagers together when he came to live with her family from another country. They both have crush’s but never tell the other.
