Book #2 in the Blade and Sasha definitely had my stomach in knots! I think it needs a trigger warning. The continuation was dark and gut wrenching. It displayed Sasha’s strength and perseverance and Blade’s determination to keep fighting for their love and future. Non stop action and drama had me devouring this book as well.
Angelina Rocca and Michael Norman Johnson did another great job narrating.

Book #1 in the Blade and Sasha duet was an interesting MC romance.
Blade and Sasha are opposites in every way, but the attraction and chemistry can be felt through the pages. Attention grabbing action and drama had me devouring their story. This book ends in a jaw dropping cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see how their story continues.

Wow this book was so good! Kingston and Sawyer had such intense chemistry and their sexual tension was explosive. The angst filled drama & action held me captive until the end. I loved sweet Hadley and her connection towards King.

Perfect Pursuit (Midas #7) is a small town, age gap romance.
Ethan and Fallon’s story drew me in from the very first page. The chemistry between them was explosive and I loved how their connection grew throughout the book. Fallon’s feisty personality paired so well to Ethan’s protective/mysterious side. I liked getting glimpses of the other lovely couples and friend group. This author never fails to bring so much emotion, angst and tender moments with her characters.

Wood You Be Mine? (Lovewell Lumberjacks #1) is a small town, grumpy lumberjack romance.
Henri and Alice had really great chemistry. The tension buildup was enjoyable and well written. I loved the drama, and intimate moments. I absolutely swooned during the tender moments with other characters as well. Clive was definitely a highlight!
Lucy Rivers and Stephen Borne narrated this book so well. They brought these characters to life in this entertaining story.

Rivals is an enemies to lovers, sports romance. This book took me for a wild ride. Another job well done by Ashton Brooks.
Reign and Riley’s story was a really great, entertaining rivalry between best friends turned enemies. Reign was the epitome of a jealous/possessive bully, but Riley hit back just as hard. The tension was explosive, and their connection was spicy. You get all the emotions in this high school novel. I loved the epilogues as well!

The Heartbreaker (The Goode Brothers #3) is a student-professor, surprise pregnancy romance.
Lucas and Sadie’s relationship dynamic was interesting and did hold my attention. They both had their individual struggles and insecurities, but they found solace in each other. I felt Sadie was immature at times, and the story didn’t flow as smoothly. I really enjoyed their ending though, and I can’t wait for Isaac’s story.
Jason Clarke and CJ Bloom did a really great job narrating this book and bringing these characters to life.

Out of Control (Full Throttle #4) is a Formula 1 racer, brother’s teammate romance.
Oliver is arrogant and unpredictable. Sofia hides in the shadows of her brother’s fame. They’ve dealt with battles throughout their lives that have shaped who they are now. Their chemistry was electric and those tender moments were written beautifully. I fell so hard for Oliver and the way he showed Sofia that she mattered. I loved their world and writing style was great. The drama was good, and steamy moments was chef’s kiss.
Teddy Hamilton and Stefanie Kay did a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life with this narration!

Serpents by Logan Fox

Serpents (Serpents of Cinderhart Academy #1) is a dark, bully romance. Please see the trigger warnings listed by author.
Nim is a strong heroine that gets thrust into a dark world at the Cinderhart Academy. Mason, Knox and Silas are dark, depraved and brooding. Nim held her own when faced with challenges created by these men. I enjoyed the backstory of each character and their situations. Plenty of drama, lust and mystery that had me drawn in. This was my first book by this author and I am definitely interested in continuing the series.
Chloe Ryan and Benjamin Sands did a really nice job narrating these characters.

The Wild Side (The Wild Westbrooks #1) is a small town, friends to lovers romance.
Cash and Meghan were a cute couple. They’ve been friends for years, and struggled on whether to give in to the marriage pact they made years prior. You could feel the deep connection they built over the years. Great chemistry and steam in this book. I always enjoy the drama that comes from a small town, where everyone knows your business.
Gabriel Spires and Rebecca Woods did a really good job narrating this book. Definitely enjoyed them portraying these characters.
