This is the second title in the series and I’m really enjoying the series so far! Surprises and interesting primary and secondary characters make for a good mystery.

I really enjoyed having the protagonist in first person pov, but still having an omniscient 3rd person for certain chapters that detailed the storyline outside of the protagonist’s knowledge. Really enjoyed the canine search and rescue aspect, as well. Great narration!

I’ve read and reread Sorensen’s Washington Wolves set of series from The Bombshell Effect to The Wilder Family. If you’ve not read all, I believe you’ll love The Crush even more if you at least read The Marriage Effect beforehand.

I loved Emmett and Adeline’s story! They played the long game, and the pay off was fantastic! Emmett is the BEST book boyfriend…so focused on what he wants in all the ways that mean the most. I adored how Emmett wasn’t hung up on material things, and his gifts to Adeline showed he knew her and loved her as she was. The chemistry between the couple was hot, and the sweet moments provided a beautiful balance.

Vocal performances were outstanding! I highly recommend The Crush (and all of Sorensen’s work)!

DP is one of my go-to authors! I’ve truly enjoyed the series, but Rally is my fav! As the queen of epilogues, DP has written the most heartwarming one for Rally…I feel so satisfied! Excellent narration for an outstanding romance!

ES writes stories with MCs I want to root for…strong men and women who are flawed, but persevere. Her love stories are relatable and it’s so easy to get totally lost during reading/listening.

Really loved Wild Eyes…probably more than the first book in this series. The two songs were seamlessly integrated, and both contributed to the story in a meaningful way. Narration was stellar! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

When I read the blurb for The Front Runner, I ALMOST didn’t buy it bc it was Stefan’s story. I couldn’t fathom how he could become a book boyfriend I’d root for. But Silvers did the unfathomable! And I was thrilled when Stefan and Mira found their HEA!

I love the progression of the stories in his series. They really need to be read in order. Silvers ticks off all the boxes for me: likeable main characters, both steamy and sweet, excellent narration, and WONDERFUL epilogues! Her epilogues are truly phenomenal. Highly recommend the series!

Elsie Silver quickly became one of my favorite authors when I read her first series, Chestnut Springs. I’ve been thrilled to see more of her work published as audiobooks!

A Photo Finish is such an exceptional love story…Silver really delivers in the second title in the Gold Rush Ranch series. She doesn’t hesitate to tackle tough topics, but does so in a way that doesn’t cause me anxiety…which is a personal issue for me.

Cole deals with crippling PTSD. And having to live at his family’s ranch - even for a short time - hits many of his triggers. One of those triggers is Violet, the groom turned jockey with whom he met in an online forum about 2 years earlier. Violet is younger, confident, and career-focused. But Cole is someone she’s never been able to forget. The way their online interactions ended eroded her confidence as a woman and now she’s faced with seeing Cole daily. As the story progresses, I particularly loved Silver’s portrayal of Cole as a vulnerable hero juxtaposed with Violet, a strong, although flawed, heroine.

Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin bring Silver’s characters alive. Narration was truly outstanding! I highly recommend A Photo Finish!

This small town, second chance, contemporary romance showcases Yarros’ unique style. Her stories have a depth few romance authors attain in their work. She often writes about weighty topics, yet her work isn’t angsty to me. There’s a fluidity in her prose that keeps me spell-bound.

I LOVED Great and Precious Things! Camden and Willow’s journey to their HEA was beautiful! Thought the guy who always caused trouble, Camden’s has left the military to help care for his father who’s suffering from early onset dementia. Willow had been his brother’s girlfriend…until he was killed during combat six years before the story begins. The townspeople exemplify what many view as small-town life…in spite of their meddling ways and the belief many hold that Camden and Willow shouldn’t be together, the town and it’s residents are delightful.

Narration was excellent! I highly recommend!
