Ever have a fan girl fantasy of what it would be like to hook up with a member of a boy band? Then this is definitely the book for you!! This book will draw you in right from the start and take you back to a night at a concert with friends. The story then takes you through twists and surprises that will make you feel all the emotions from laughing, to crying and of course romance! It’s one of those stories you won’t be able to put down and just have to know what happens next! Of course the amazing duo of Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber take this story to the next level and immerse you into all the feelings they’re feeling at every turn!

I didn’t know it was possible to love two people in a book as much as I love Noah and Kristin! Noah has you literally swooning from the start and makes you fall in love with his sweet and caring personality. Did I mention he’s a drop dead gorgeous movie star too? Then there is Kristin who so many can relate to on multiple levels whether it’s friendship, being a mother, navigating divorce or a broken relationship, or figuring out how to be a working mom and juggle life too. She’ll have you routing for her the whole way as she tries to find herself again and open herself to a second chance at love!!

Another incredible story from Wolf Gap!! Hidden Waters is a story I’ve been waiting for as it tells the journey of Addie and Beckett! We met both of them in the first 2 books of the series (Tattered Stars & Falling Embers) which I highly recommend reading first!! It will help to understand their pasts and also make you fall in love with their family who is incorporated throughout this one.

In Hidden Waters, Catherine did not disappoint with how she developed both Addie and Beckett! The characterization of these two is so beautifully written that it has you rooting for them from the start! She stayed true to the experiences of Addie’s past and perfectly represented how it affected Addie as she navigates life and love! Of course Beckett’s caring demeanor will make you swoon as she peels back his layers and their connection!

Catherine also did it again choosing the PERFECT voices to narrate Addie and Beckett in the audible. Ava and Sebastian hit it out of the park telling this story and making you feel all the feels of the character’s past and present!

AMAZING heart wrenching love story narrated by the perfect duo, Andi and Zachary! They take this story to the next level by making your heart feel every emotion so deeply thanks to their narration! Plus Zachary’s voice for Hadley is so sweet and brings it all together!

The plot of this love story is so captivating and deals with hard issues that make you feel like love is still possible even when you think all hope is lost in the hardest and darkest of times. It all begins with Connor Arrowood. The youngest of 4 Arrowood brothers who had a rough upbringing. He had a one night stand 8 years ago with no names before he left his hometown for good. Now he is back in Suagrloaf after his father’s death and dreams of this angel from that one night. What happens when he stumbles upon this angel while he is back? Her name is Ellie and she is now married with a daughter named Hadley. What happens now? Is his dream of reuniting with that angel gone in an instant? What is Ellie’s story? So many questions that will make you not want to put it down!

Connor’s story is the first of each 4 Arrowood brothers. Corinne gave each brother an INCREDIBLE stand alone book but Connor’s is the first of the series. I HIGHLY recommend reading this one first as it provides so much description into their background and past! It will help to appreciate and understand each brother even more in the books that follow! By far one of my favorite sets of books that will leave you head over heels for all 4 brothers!

I am still swooning over this book days after finishing!❤️ An INCREDIBLY well written story of friends turned lovers! Dare I say my favorite book of the Arrowood brothers?? You will instantly fall head over heels for Sean and wish he was yours!! He’s not only a gorgeous, sexy baseball player but is also incredibly sweet, caring, loyal, and has fantastic humor! Plus, Joe Arden narrating him is sheer magic! I didn’t know it was possible to love Sean even more thanks to Joe’s narration of him!

Then there is Devney, who is Sean’s best friend since childhood! Despite being just friends, the chemistry between the two of them is so captivating! From their playful banter that will have you laughing to their sweet comment “I’ve got you” to comfort each other when they need it. Their connection is addicting and will have you wanting more of them! A perfectly written story that will have you laughing, crying, swooning and falling in love with them! A MUST read that you’ll be reading again and again!

My heart was not ready to read the last of the Arrowood Brothers series but this book was spectacular!! Corinne gave us a sneak of Jacob at the end of “The One For Me” and I had already fallen in love with him! Although each book of this series can be a stand alone, they are SO MUCH better in order and leaving this one for last.

This book is the story of Jacob, a movie star, and Brenna, a widow with 2 kids, who had been married to a military pilot. Brenna is new to Sugarloaf and Jacob just wants to serve his 6 month obligation and leave. During their first meeting, the banter between the two of them makes you instantly fall in love with them! Both have walls up for different reasons but seeing those break down and the attraction get stronger, you’ll instantly be rooting for them both to find happiness.

This story definitely hit some heart strings for me as a military spouse, as my husband was also a flyer. Corinne wrote Brenna’s perspective as a military wife remarkably and it perfectly described so many of the feelings that we as spouses feel!

Plus, in the audible, Sebastian narrating a sexy, hot movie star…yes please! Vanessa was also the perfect addition as she evoked Brenna’s feelings and story as a widowed military spouse so well!

So many feelings in one book but I am absolutely obsessed!!! As always it can be a standalone book but it is the first of the Willow Creek series which is each about a different sibling. My favorite kinds of series! Plus this book has connections to Corinne’s other series, the Arrowood brothers as Jessica makes an appearance in the book, Stay For Me. In that book, we learn a more detailed story about her and learn what makes her come back to Willow Creek. Highly recommend reading that first as you’ll fall in love with the sweet, caring demeanor of Jessica even more!

The background of this book reminds me of the classic Romeo & Juliet but the opposite as it’s a rich boy, Greyson, who falls in love with the poor girl, Jessica. Sadly these childhood lovers ended things but now Jessica is back and they are both living in their hometown again. You’ll be rooting for these 2 from the start to find their way back to each other but a lot has changed since they were kids. Can they overcome all that? If so, will the past just repeat itself? Corinne does an incredible job with this story and will pull you right into Willow Creek! You’ll fall in love with them and the whole Parkerson clan!

LOVE LOVE this book!! The glimpses of Stella in the book, “Return To Us” made me so excited to read her own romance story. Then there is also Jack who we met as well in that book, who is best friends with Stella’s brother, Greyson. Although this is a standalone, I highly recommend reading that book first to get a background into these Parkerson siblings!

The story of Stella and Jack’s romance captivated me from the start as it opens up with them handing over their baby for adoption and why they can’t keep her. Only their parents and her grandmother know about her. Then it jumps to 12 years later. They aren’t together now as Jack tells himself she’s off limits because of the past but Stella admits she’s still in love with Jack and wishes he’d just love her back. This is a beautifully written story involving the topic of adoption. There are many twists and turns around this plot as Stella and Jack have to face their adoption in the present now. develop their romance again. Of course, Jack’s sweetness will make your heart flutter and Stella’s banter with everyone will make you smile and love her!l

A MUST read!! It’s the last book of the Willow Creek series but Corinne seriously saved the best for last! This book was flawless and included a fantastic storyline starting with a fake wedding to the charming Oliver Parkerson and his love internet Maren. This book had me not wanting to put it down as I completely fell head over heels for these two and the emotional up and down journey of them both separately and together. As always it can be read as a stand alone book but reading the other 3 Willow Creek books first will make you love and appreciate the appearances of all the Parkerson siblings so much more!

In this book, Corinne did an incredible job pulling at every heart string and will make you swoon over Oliver! He’s sworn off marriage and love after getting his heart broken multiple times and absolutely didn’t want to agree to a fake wedding. Not to mention, the girl, Maren, who is his ex’s best friend. Then Oliver’s sweet, charming personality shines through as he agrees to make Maren’s wish come true to have her dying father see her be married. But what then? This story is an emotional up and down journey that will have you swooning, crying, laughing and falling in love with Oliver and Maren!

Bonus, Zachary and Vanessa did an incredible job conveying the up and down emotions of this story with their narrations!! Such a great combination!

Ice hockey and a romance? After I heard those two things, I had to read this book! It starts with Parker who is a mom to 2 kids who was cheated on and now divorced. She owns an ice hockey rink and rehabs ice hockey players. Her next client is Cooper, who needs rehab after an injury but comes off as a complete jerk to her. How is this ever going to work and how will they come together? This enemies to lovers story has the perfect mix of romance, family and of course hockey!
