This was such a fun family holiday story. We have a famous actress and her 3 grown children home for the holidays. Each of the siblings are struggling with finding love and we get to see their romance story.
The personalities of the 3 siblings are very distinct and the narration by Patti Murin, Kristen Sieh, Shawn K. Jain brought all stories to life.
The story is entertaining and I love how close the siblings were. ...more

This story was the perfect romantic suspI always worry about reading romantic suspense stories because it usually is not enough of one of the genres. This story was the perfect romantic suspense. I love the back story between Garrett and Tessa and the forced proximity made it so good.
I appreciate that Garrett is Tessa's brother - Will's best friend and their relationship was great between the 3 characters.
The mystery of the story with the death of a friend, brings back some older murder cases to mind. The twist in the story was something I didn't see coming.
Ellie Gossage and Jay Myers did a fantastic job with the narration.

This was a total hallmark Christmas movie with spice. We have Claire that is coming to town to take over some land and meets Jake Jolly who helps her This was a total hallmark Christmas movie with spice. We have Claire that is coming to town to take over some land and meets Jake Jolly who helps her when she is stranded.
Jake is the perfect gentleman offering her assistance and a places to stay. They are total opposites with Claire in her city life and high end clothes and Jake, the lumberjack who loves the small town.
The town sounds super cute and everyone has been there for generation. Jake's cat, Tinsel was such a hoot to the story.
Thomas Oakley and Samantha Cook did a great job bringing this holiday read to life.

A mysterious benefactor hires him to kill a horrible personPeyton is a drunk and broke and can't get out of this cycle after a horrific car accident. A mysterious benefactor hires him to kill a horrible person. We see how Peyton justify his missions and how this impacts his mind. I appreciate the complexity of his situation and how much he loves his daughter and would do anything for her.
The story really picks up in the 2nd half of the book and goes on a wild ride. Peyton is smart and tries to evade people after as well as figure out why he was hired to be a killer.
I really liked how the story revealed the benefactor which I did not see coming.
Chris Henry Coffey did a great job with the narration and pacing of the story.

We have Zoe, a writer with writer's block who bumps into Zach, an old flame that is now famous.
They rekindle their relationship in secret until photos are leaked by the paps. She goes viral and is pressured for a second book from her agent. I love how the story starts going unhinge with things happening and you don't know who to trust.
The story is twisty and I didn't guess who was the guilty party.
Billie-Fulford Brown did a great job as Zoe.

I wanted to know what prompted Thea to be so skittish about having her picture taken and needing to be paid in cash. I love how her past was revealed in the story.
I knew Shepp was going to a cinnamon roll and he did not disappoint. He was so good to Thea and the forced proximity was just chef's kiss to the story.
I love all Shepp's family and the strong found family in Cowles' stories.
The narration Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon really brought the story to life. ...more

They live in different cities and decided to partake the remake of their favorite game show.
The main characters were narrated by Mary Mouser and Tyler Posey and they did a great job. There were also a full host of narrators and sound effects which really enhanced the listening experience.
The story is fun and I liked how the game show brought them together.

They don't really have much in common other then discovering they both enjoying playing Wordle.
I enjoyed how Emily used her daily situation to play the game but the story did get a bit repetitive with her obsession with it.
I would say the love story between Emily and John took a backseat and it was more of Emily's self discovery journey. I really enjoyed the side characters of the elderly which made the book so fun.
Katie Koster did a good job with the narration.

This was a great holiday romance with Fable and Wilder who agrees to be fake dating to help each other out.

I was prepared for an emotional read based the synopsis and it was. We have Maddie and Dom following the death of her brother and his best friend to visit places to spread his ashes.
There is a lot of tension between them with their past history. I was frustrated with Maddie at times because she was so self centered and wanted to knock some sense into her.
I enjoyed seeing their growth and healing process

This one is with Grady, a best seller writer and finds his wife missing the day he became a best seller. Since then, he is lost and can't move on and write. His agent suggests for him to go to a remote island in Scotland for inspiration.
The story is a bit slow and very atmospheric with the strangeness of the island. I had a lot of issues with the twist and the ending. It felt rush and unbelievable and left me with so many questions.
Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton did a great job with the narration.

Peggy was such a great character and seeing all her relationships with her best friend, Bella as well her love interest Orfeo.
It was so great to see Bonny and Valentine play a big role in this story as well.
This story had so many funny moments and it was so steamy as well.

I was excited to get Sir Horley and Arabella's story after reading the first 2 books in the series. This can be read as a stand alone but I highly you read the first 2 to get the full characters experience.
These two are just so fun together. I love that Bella is outspoken and kidnaps Horley to elope and so much happens along the way. I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to their pairing and loved that Hall signature bi-sexuality characters came out in this story.
Ell Potter and Steve West did a great job with brining all the characters to life.

August is one of the owners of the cupcake store who is also a famous athlete and is BFF with Sloan's brother.
A situation goes viral and Sloan ends up being the social media content manager for the store and takes advantage of August's viral moment for the new location.
There's history between the two and we get to see what happened 12 years ago.
I enjoyed their interaction but didn't really love how other treated August. Like total strangers grabbing him just felt so odd. There was a lot of subplots which I also enjoyed.
I enjoyed the narration by Jaime Lincoln Smith, Nia Serge.
