I liked the connection between Ben and Aiden, though I prefer my stories more linear. There were a lot of flashbacks from both their point of view that made the store more mixed up so that made things a bit disjointed. The overall concept of this back and forth romance was good but I would have rather just read what happened in order. Either way it’s still a good addition to the series and the narration was fantastic. I did enjoy it overall but I’m not sure it’s one I’d re-listen to again the way I have with the other books of the series.

I absolutely loved this story. Dallas and Kai were so good together, and I really enjoyed their basically FWB turned forever love. I liked the twist with the brother too as I was worried about his reaction but it ended up being completely different than I expected. My only complaint is the length, I feel like we could have had more story of them in the frat but a book is always better when it leaves you wanting more and not feeling like it went on too long so it still gets 5 stars from me. The narration was really well done as well.

I absolutely loved this story. Max and Beau were just perfect together. I like how their connection was evident from the start even when they were just “friends” before Max’s head figured out where his heart was already leading him. I also like that there wasn’t big drawn out misunderstanding in the book and how they ending up talking things out fairly quickly, and it was a nice addition that how crazy and whirlwind their relationship was is addressed by the people in it. It just made it feel more organic. The narration is really good too, I was a little nervous as it’s a different narrator than the books this one spun off but Sem and Maggie still seemed like them. This was a great start to a new series and I’m looking forward to the rest of it.

I absolutely loved this story. I love the almost rivalry to one up eachother when they first got involved and then how Maggie almost begrudgingly admitted his feelings for Sem because it was clear from the beginning the lovable stalker was gone for Magnus right away. I liked how they complimented eachother, how they were each strong and vulnerable in almost opposite ways and could really support the other. The narration was amazing too, and really brought these characters to life. I enjoyed every bit of this listen.

This is a new genre for me and one I didn’t think I would necessarily like so much but I really did. I loved how interesting and intricate this Omega world is, and I really enjoyed the instant connection between Quinn and Bellamy, at first purely physical and then one filled with more emotional depth. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life as well and differentiating the different characters, and I enjoyed the supporting characters as well, especially the friendship between Bellamy and Tanner. My only gripe is I feel like after all the drama Charles was just dropped and I would have liked to see a resolution for him. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable story.

I really was unsure about this when I chose it but it was recommended to me so I thought I’d give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. Though yes the basis of this book is primarily erotica it really had a surprising amount of depth in the story concept, the characters and the connection between Burke and Emerson. John Solo did a great job bringing this unique world to life. This was a very enjoyable listen.

I really enjoyed this story a lot. Enzo is kinda psycho but somehow you still come to love him and understand why Tex does as well, though some of Tex’s motivations still escape me but I guess love will make you do some crazy things. I thought the whole B story of who was messing with the Vitale’s Organization very interesting as well, and like the way it all came together. At the heart of the whole thing though was the steamy and complicated love between Enzo and Tex, and I loved how they brought out different elements in eachother. I also have to say the narration was fantastic, this was a really enjoyable listen and I look forward to the next part of this series.

This one took a long time for me to finish. It was a very, very, very slow burn, so slow all the embers went out for me. There were times I went to other books and finished them before coming back to this one. By the time they finally got together more than 3/4 of the book in I wasn’t as invested anymore and it was more like a determination to finish something I invested so much time in already. There were some sweet and sultry scenes after they finally had some movement but I had lost the strength of my investment in Houston and Wyatt as a couple and individuals at that point. It just felt like they only got together cause they had to after dragging it out so long, and not organically like even if there had been some movement halfway in. I also really didn’t like the way the homophobic dad was handled either, after being homophobic to a child until he was an adult, his claim he has no issue with gay people was ludicrous and the quick forgiveness of him I found insulting, especially with no real apology or making amends to the person he treated horribly for decades. I do think the narrator did a decent job differentiating the characters and performing the material. I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series though as this book just wasn’t for me.

This was a very cute story and an entertaining listen. I love a fake boyfriend to real love trope. Nick J. Russo did a great job narrating and bringing Sullivan and Drew to life. My only complaint is it felt a little too short, and I would have liked a little more with both families, especially Drew’s. Also the scene with the lawyer and Sullivan was really weird and felt unresolved. Maybe it continues in the next book but it just felt like a damocles hanging over the story but then it ended. Overall though it was an enjoyable listen.

I liked this book even better than the first one, there was a more even perspective in this book and I feel like both character were well rounded individuals on their own and that only added to how much I loved them as a pair. I loved how much Hadley challenges Sebastian in every aspect of his life from business to personal, and I loved how Sebastian got Hadley to open up and be vulnerable in a way he never had been before, even in a different way than he’d opened up to his brothers. The mutual respect they had for the other’s experience and feelings was great and on top of their emotional connection and friendship, their love scenes were scorching hot. The passion and chemistry was palpable in the writing and even moreso in the performance of the narration. John Solo did an incredible job bringing these two and the supporting characters to life. I’m sure this is a book I will relisten to. 5 stars across the board!
