Billionaire romance
Romcom
Dual narration
***audiobook review***
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.

This story is about Cass a nurse and Travis a firefighter and Cass’s brothers best friend. They are flirty and both like the other but are too scared to tell each other. Travis is also worried about upsetting his best friend.

Childhood Friends to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Unrequited Love (or so they think)
Opposites Attract

Aleks and Mia’s story was so good!
Aleks is a pro hockey player who is known for being a playboy, a bad boy. His career might be in trouble due to this reputation.
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.
When they finally give in it is 🥵!
A fabulous hockey romance that I couldn’t get enough of! There is a preview of the next book at the end and OMG I can’t wait!

This story with wreck you and put you back together again.

It was a fun short read.
I always love supportive and healthy relationships. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of spice this book has.

Second chance
Brothers best friend
Small town
Dual narration- Teddy Hamilton & Carly Robins
Very well done. I love the life and emotion these narrators brought to the story.
Melody is back in her hometown to get over a rough break up with her boyfriend of 6 years. Her brother and friend convince her to go on a camping trip but at the last minute her brother can’t make it. Forcing her to share a tent with the one person she does not want to run into. Zack the boy who broke her heart 10 years ago.
Zack is Melody’s brothers best friend, and her high school crush. He is a grumpy football coach and has been pining for Melody for years.
One camping weekend turns into forced proximity and being stranded together. This was a great play on second chance. I enjoyed this story. Mel’s ex is a douchebag!!

***ALC Review***
Dual Narration- Harvey Fuller, Lila Winters and Emily Woo Zeller
The plot was decent. The narration was ok… I couldn’t help but feel like the male narrator was slightly “robotic”
Definitely spicy.
Sage is an event planner who is looking to get promoted. She doesn’t do relationships. When she catches her current situationship with another girl she tells him to get gone by morning while she heads to the bar.
Tyler (Edmond) is the younger hot bartender who’s crushing on Sage. He has secrets but decides to risk is and help Sage show her now ex situationship what he lost.
This turns into a story about a prince in hiding/arranged marriage. He is definitely obsessed with her. It was spicy and the spice was good. I felt the plot was lacking a bit and kind of repetitive. Overall a decent book for a quick listen.

Teacher x students dad
Mia is a strong, smart, witty British teacher her. She works with and under her best friend. Mia will do anything for Lilly, and wants to help her keep her position.
Theo is a grumpy single dad to Kira one of Mia’s students. He is surprised at how he feels when he is around Mia. He tries to keep his distance.
However the universe has other plans. Somehow they keep getting forced together. The banter was really good and the spice was pleasantly surprising.
Overall a very fun and spicy read. Enjoyed it.
