๐™ฐ๐š–๐šข ๐™ณ๐šŠ๐š ๐šœ has done it again, folks! She has created an unforgettable, laugh out loud keeper! I loved every second of listening to this one! And it's available ๐“๐Ž๐ƒ๐€๐˜ for y'all to grab up!

I absolutely fell hard & fast for Wyatt. His character was....๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ’‹! Trista was a beautifully chiseled character, and she fit her role so perfectly! I loved watching as Wyatt got to know Trista. Loved watching as Trista slowly because more than just a woman to carry his baby for him. This sunshiny woman and this grumpy, grizzly man were beautifully made for each and I  was there for it! 

๐‘‡๐‘’๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘ฆ ๐ป๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘–๐‘™๐‘ก๐‘œ๐‘› did a masterful job at bringing Wyatt to life! He does a fantastic job with voicing grumpy, growly men! He was perfect for the job! ๐ธ๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘› is a female narrator of many talents! She was a beautiful Trista and I loved it! She brought emotions masterfully and I loved getting to know Trista through ๐ธ๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›'๐‘  narrations! 

These beautiful characters and unique plot will steal your heart! It's one I will be returning to again and again! The story line of surrogacy is beautiful and handled with care by ๐™ฐ๐š–๐šข ๐™ณ๐šŠ๐š ๐šœ. It had me laughing, tearing up and cheering on some amazing characters! It's available now so grab it up!

It's been a hot minute since I listened to or read a historical romance, and let me tell ya! I am so glad I got the chance to listen to this one. I am brand new to ๐™ผ๐šŠ๐š›๐š’๐šŠ๐š‘ ๐š‚๐š๐š˜๐š—๐šŽ work and she is supremely talented! I am now a forever fan! 

This is a marriage of convenience that sucks you right in! Calliope needs to find her brother and Nathaniel is the Duke to help her. But, he needs a favor in return. What they didn't plan on, was all that ensued once they were married. 

I loved watching as Nathaniel and Calliope navigated their way in this marriage. ๐™ผ๐šŠ๐š›๐š’๐šŠ๐š‘ ๐š‚๐š๐š˜๐š—๐šŽ adds in twists of mysterious happenings to the story and definitely provides us with sparks of chemistry between the characters! I loved watching how protective Nathaniel got with Calliope. I swooned so many times!

๐‘†โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘’ ๐ธ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก was perfection as he brought Nathaniel to life! His voice was growly and just lent the character so much as he put all his emotions into bringing us Nathaniel's character. ๐ฝ๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ ๐ธ๐‘ฆ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’ is a new female narrator for me. Her voice was great and I loved listening as she gave Calliope the strength and sass she needed! Together, these narrators did a fantabulous job! 

With angst, passion, twists and turns, ๐™ผ๐šŠ๐š›๐š’๐šŠ๐š‘ ๐š‚๐š๐š˜๐š—๐šŽ captivated me with this story. The audio was fantastic and I couldn't get enough! I am definitely recommending this one and looking forward to listening to more of this author's work!

I absolutely loved this one! This is my very first ๐š๐š’๐š•๐šŽ๐šข ๐™ด๐š๐š ๐šŠ๐š›๐š๐šœ book and I don't know why I have waited so long to read her work. I will tell you. From the start, I was hooked! 

Shane Owings (Carter Lennox). That man is sinfully delish in every way! I loved how he was with Lily and, growing up a military brat, I absolutely understood why he did what he did! When he came to terms with what he needed to do, it was freeing and I swooned so hard! 

Lily Nelson. Bless her heart. I adored her. The way she loved Shane, even when she thought he was dead, was an emotional thing but it was so heart capturing! I loved her devotion to her best friend and how she was with him. 

๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘š is amazing and among my favorite female narrators list. She has a way with the emotions she brings to life in these characters. I absolutely love that she was cast to narrate Lily! And can we talk about the epicness that is ๐‘‡๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ฆ ๐ท๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘›? He has a wonderful, deep voice that captures Shane/Lenox and all his emotions in a masterful way! Together, these two did a wonderful job with these characters! 

There are secrets, there emotions, there are second chances and lots of twists. Filled with steam, heart and action, ๐š๐š’๐š•๐šŽ๐šข ๐™ด๐š๐š ๐šŠ๐š›๐š๐šœ'๐šœ ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’†๐’† is an amazing and unforgettable story! I am now a forever fan and can't wait to dive into book 2!

Do I ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š to write this review? Because I am not sure I'm ready to. I don't want to say goodbye to this beautiful book, or the series. I have fallen head over heels in love with these beautiful, strong women & the men that fall hard, & fast, for them. 

Throughout the other three installments, we saw Delia Masters. She is a beautiful, strong willed, fiercely independent single mom. She is someone I envied because of how strong she was. So, seeing her get her story, was a beautiful thing for me! 

Enter Enzo DiLuca, & her carefully placed, man hating walls start to crumble. I adored him & how well he handled Delia & her twins. The way he accepted all of her for who she was, was a beautiful thing to watch. He definitely became my new book boyfriend! 

Now, the narrations? ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’๐’Š๐’‡๐’Š๐’„๐’ ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’‹! ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› added a Boston accent flair to Enzo & it was fun! The way he brought each & every character to life, not just Enzo, was brilliantly done! And, ๐‘†๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ has once again, brought her sultry, beautiful tone to the story telling powerhouse & nailed Delia's demeanor masterfully! Together these two narrators brought the house down! 

The banter, the way the story flowed beautifully with the previous three installments, & all of the amazing characters, main & side alike, make up an unforgettable final addition to the ๐Œ๐จ๐ฆ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ. The strong, independent women created a commune, & found love along the way.

I'm so happy to have had a front row seat to the fun!

Okay. First, ๐™ผ๐šŠ๐š๐š๐š’๐šŽ ๐™ถ๐šŠ๐š๐šŽ๐šœ is phenomenal! I've not read anything by her before and I can tell you, without a doubt, that I will absolutely be reading/listening to more of her work! Second, a book set in North Carolina that mentions places literally 20-30 minutes from me? Yes please ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’œ! 

We meet a flight nurse, Layla Mousavi, and police officer Callum Fletcher in this one. I absolutely fell head over heels for both of them. They were beautifully broken but together they made a beautiful masterpiece! 

Watching Callum and Layla interact through their fake engagement was wonderful. There was banter and lots of sizzle! I loved how their story played out and couldn't get enough! 

๐‘†๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ did a magnificent job at bringing Layla to life. She filled her with the emotions of a wonderful flight nurse & broken woman. I could feel her hesitancy through ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ'๐‘  voice. ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘Š๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘˜๐‘’๐‘Ÿ. I've only listened to one other audio with him so it was a treat getting to know Callum through ๐‘Š๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘˜๐‘’๐‘Ÿ'๐‘  voice. He did a great job breathing life into Callum! 

๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ฏ๐’–๐’“๐’•๐’” ๐‘ผ๐’” isn't just a story of love. It's a story of finding beauty among the broken pieces of our hearts. The chemistry within this story is fantastic, the banter is beautiful, and the characters steal your heart! I am absolutely looking forward to a second book in this series!

And another book I couldn't get enough of! Just like with ๐‘ด๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†๐’“, I spent much of the time laughing out loud! Once I started this one, I couldn't put it down. 

I adored Cortney Miller! He was a beautifully chiseled, hilarious character, much like Beckett was. I loved how he was with Dylan when they met. He was superstitious, so, as Dylan liked to say, the universe meant for them to meet! 

I loved Dyl in book 1, so seeing her get her story was a delight! I loved that she was the head mom of the kids, watching them and caring for them all while her besties worked. The was also the eccentric, laid back, "be one with the universe" type of girl and I loved that. I was born in the wrong era, I used to tell my mama, so I related to her and her thinking in so many ways! When she meets Cortney....well the universe definitely had some sparks flying between them! 

When Cortney & Dyl meet, one night turns into.....well, 9 months and the fun is just getting started for them. 

๐‘‡๐‘’๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘ฆ ๐ป๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘–๐‘™๐‘ก๐‘œ๐‘› & ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ฅ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘€๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ truly brought Cortney & Dylan to life. From the laughs to the oh ๐Ÿ’ฉmoments to the beautiful kids and all the besties, you could feel it playing out like a movie as you listened. It definitely was hard to keep a straight face with these two narrators narrating! 

๐™น๐šŽ๐š—๐š—๐š’ ๐™ฑ๐šŠ๐š›๐šŠ'๐šœ ability to create the second MomCom book just as hilarious and spicy as the first, was beautiful. She has made it on my list of authors to read more of, that's first sure!

Yes, siree! I have found another must read/listen to share with you all! ๐‘พ๐’๐’“๐’•๐’‰ ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’๐’•๐’” by ๐™ท๐šŽ๐šŠ๐š๐š‘๐šŽ๐š› ๐™ผ. ๐™พ๐š›๐šŽ๐š๐šŽ๐š›๐š˜๐š— is that.....๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™๐™ค๐™ฉ of reading/listening!

I absolutely loved Aiden Addams when I met him in a previous book & was so excited that he had his own book. I loved the chemistry that was very evident between him and Veronica Vanderbilt. He is an alcohol loving bad boy to her very much virgin self. When they agree to fake date it's a rollercoaster ride of sexiness and fun.
โ€Œ
Not only was the story captivating the narrators were phenomenal. ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› brings it with his growls and his banter. He puts his whole self into bringing Aiden to life. And, ๐ด๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ ๐ถ๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘ . I have a girl crush on her and her narrating. She portrayed the innocent Ronnie in a beautiful way. She matched ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘›'๐‘  awesomeness and brought the banter and feelings to life!
โ€Œ
If you want a  book/listen that will instantly hook you, keep you around for the banter and off the charts spicy chemistry and leave you with a smile on your face, then preorder this one. It's ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’•๐’‰ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’•๐’”, I promise!

Let me take just a minute to say ๐™ฌ๐™๐™ค๐™–. I think I found my new favorite mafia book! I mean, seriously, y'all. ๐™ด๐š•๐š•๐šŽ ๐™ผ๐šŠ๐š•๐š๐š˜๐š—๐šŠ๐š๐š˜ created a magnificent story. She hooked me instantly and the ride was literally wild. 

Let's talk about hit man Derek Cain. Can we say ๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’๐’š ๐’ˆ๐’“๐’†๐’š!? He sought vengeance against his bio dad but what he found was so much more. 

Evangelina "Eva" Cruz is a diabetic, kick ๐Ÿ‘ female detective trying to uncover crimes, especially one close to her. Things take a turn for her though when she meets Derek Cain. 

Derek....that man is obsessed with Eva and ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸผI๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผwas๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผthere๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผfor๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผit! Lord. ๐Ÿคค That man can ๐Ÿ”ฅthe ๐ŸŒŽ down for me at anytime he wants. I loved the intensity of his personality. From the moment he met Eva to the very last word, his protectiveness and all the sexiness rolled off the page. 

The narrators for this one are both new to me. I have to tell you, I loved them! I loved how they portrayed these characters. The intensity of mafia, the cluster of being a detective, the chemistry that flows between these characters....you can ๐™›๐™š๐™š๐™ก it as they breathe life into Derek & Eva. I am adding them to my list of favorites and can't wait to listen to more from them! 

This story has so much sizzle, so much banter, so much angst within it. I loved everything about this soul stealing novel & can't wait for more from this author!

I never knew I needed a ๐™‹๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ like story! But, ๐™ฐ๐š๐š›๐š’๐šŠ๐š—๐šŠ ๐™ป๐š˜๐šŒ๐š”๐šŽ wrote it so I'm definitely gonna read/listen to it! Once again, she doesn't disappoint her fans & I had this one done in one day!

I adored the characters within this story. They were dealing with some real to life issues & I felt their struggles like they were my own. Jack & Lauren were beautifully chiseled. They had flaws but they also had perfections and I loved it! Following their journey, watching as they come to terms with their true selves and feelings....it was an emotional ride, but one I was glad to have taken! 

Let's not forget the meddling kiddos that only want the best! Michael, Maddie & even Pops were also chiseled beautifully & became real for me. The way they wanted to save their parents marriage.....it was both fun & extremely emotional! 

Now for the narrations. This was my first time hearing ๐ด๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐ป๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™ & ๐‘…๐‘ฆ๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐ท๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›. They did a wonderful job! You could feel the emotions of the characters roll through you as you listened. They gave life to these beautiful characters & emotional second chance story & I will be listening to them again. 

If you are looking for a story that will flood your heart with all the emotions, from happiness to sadness & back again, this is it. You'll find yourself laughing, crying & not wanting to say goodbye! Great job, once again, ๐™ฐ๐š๐š›๐š’๐šŠ๐š—๐šŠ ๐™ป๐š˜๐šŒ๐š”๐šŽ, on another incredible, captivating story!

I think this one may be the best yet! I have been loving ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐™จ๐™ค much. From the first words to the last, she hooks me & this one was no exception, with masterfully told story lines and beautifully chiseled characters! I definitely recommend this one as well as the whole series! 

I met Kate in book 2 & well, I didn't think she would be great here, but I was wrong. Bad ways & good ways, her story unraveled itself and absolutely hooked me. She had lots of pain in her life, lots of things to figure out & once she came back from rehab, she has no choice but to stay with Beck, her husband's best friend. 

Beck was a character!! I loved him & his grumpy, cinnamon roll self! When Kate comes back into his life, it's all bets off & sparks flying as their chemistry lights the sky! Seeing him with Kate, seeing he he's always felt her despite him being her ex's best friend, was wonderful! 

Now for the narrators for the audio. ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ .๐‘†๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ. It must be my era for them because I just can't get enough! Their duet for these characters was beyond perfect, putting their whole selves into these characters, breathing life into them. It was like watching a movie! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ’‹
