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

Really enjoyed this book.
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.

Sports Romance
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.

Duet Narration - Teddy Hamilton, Sean Masters , & Persephone Lee
Narration was absolutely perfection! Sean with an Australian accent 🫠
I loved these characters! Beckett and Will are just *swoon* 🥵
Charlie is a stem sorority girl who has multiple layers. “I’m a hot onion” as she describes herself. She is struggling with being adopted and feeling like she fits in her family. She also is dealing with a lot of stress and pressure that she is putting on herself. She participates in *extra curricular* activities to relax and escape her stress for a bit. When a hook up end abruptly she finds herself scrolling on a hook up app and intrigued by the two hot body guys that share a profile she matches with them.
Beckett and Will are teammates, roommates, and they also like to share women 😉 🥵 when the girl they have been hooking up with develops feelings for one of them they end it. So on the hunt for a new girl they match with the hot faceless girl on the hook up app they use.
Multiple days of spicy chatting. Finally they decide to meet up and when they figure out they already knew each other things get interesting.
Absolutely loved this book! Elle Kennedy writes so good!

Dark romance
Fake dating
Dual narration- Isabelle Turner & Ethan Reid
** British accents. Narration done well voices were enjoyable to listen to.
This book gives me strong feels of the tv show Lucifer mixed with a sprinkle of 50 shades of grey.
For the people who loved Lucifer (tv show) but wanted it to be smutty! This is the book for you.
I really enjoyed this book. I do wish it was Duet narration however it is still very good.
Lucifer and his siblings now run NYC with business and sins. Charlotte gets a job as an assistant at Lucifer’s luxury company.
She is the good girl who wants the bad boy Lucifer the devil.
Dark themes, murder, explicit scenes.
