The Arrangement (Brewer Family #2) is a workplace romance.
Jason and Chloe were a fun and refreshing couple. I really loved the chemistry between them as their story progressed. The Brewer’s were such a fun bunch and I can’t get enough of them. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Amy McFadden and Sebastian York did an amazing job portraying these characters. Such an enjoyable read.

Pack Dutton: Part 2 is a dark, omegaverse romance.
This novel picks up right where part 1 ended. The action and drama is still intense and the heat was high. Pack Dutton’s chemistry continues to build with Hazel. I really felt her connection with each alpha and her beta. While I do feel the book was longer than necessary, I enjoyed the overall story.

Craving Chaos (Moretti Malice #1) is a forced proximity, mafia romance.
Renzo and Shae’s story was packed full of angst and action. I loved how their connection built over time as they fought to survive. Engaging storyline with interesting twists.
Kelsey Navarro Foster and Aiden Snow did an exceptional job narrating this story and portraying Shar and Renzo.

Pucking Vamps is an age gap, sports romance.
The blurb sounded intriguing and I was excited to read this book, but unfortunately it fell short for me. While I enjoyed certain parts of the book, I struggled to connect with Leander & Hayden and thought their chemistry was lacking.

Another emotional story! You can definitely feel the struggles that Easton and Bodhi dealt with. The strength to endure these obstacles as a family was wonderful to witness.
The narrators did another great job portraying these characters.

Firefly Effect is a single parent, small town romantic suspense.
Evie and Lincoln’s story was enthralling, and I could not put this book down! The chemistry between them was instant and palpable. The small town drama, mystery and intimate moments were captivating. Lincoln’s child was adorable and had me wrapped around their finger. Another well written story!

Fighting with Faith is book 2 in the Fighting series. It’s a second chance, secret pregnancy romance.
Bentley and Kayla had an intense connection from first meet. He fell first, but Kayla’s troubled past left her jaded and not looking for love. I loved how patient and sweet he was and so happy they were able to overcome their obstacles. Plenty of drama, emotion and steamy moments in this book. I enjoyed their found family and cannot wait for Caleb’s story!
Auri Alden and Theo Sinclair did a really nice job bringing these characters to life.
