Garrett and Liv’s second chance romance was sweet and will make your heart happy. Garrett and Liv were high school sweethearts but their long distance relationship didn’t work out for them when they go to separate colleges. Years later they have a second chance when she comes back to their small town to help her mother. I loved that they still had that spark even after all the time they spent apart. I loved Garrett’s determination not to make the same mistakes he did in the past. I loved every moment of Garrett and Liv’s journey to the happy ending.

Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller narrate this book in duet. This was a new duo to me and I loved both of their performances. They both did an amazing job portraying the romance between Garrett and Liv. I definitely recommend this one, the story was great and the narration brought the story to life.

Rags to Royals is a modern day royal romance that will have you swooning and leave your heart happy. To get out of his arranged marriage, Cian goes to find the woman he spent a whirlwind weekend a year and half ago that he hasn’t been able to get off his mind. Scarlett is a single mom, who takes over her stepfathers garage in the small town she grew up in. The chemistry between this two was undeniable. It was hard not to fall in love with this couple. I absolutely adored these two and the way that Cian supported her and emotionally and gave her what she needed physically. Mariah, Scarlett’s daughter was a spitfire and I loved her interactions and the way she bonded with Cian. I could not get enough of these two and enjoyed the characters in this book.

Amelia Hugh and Connor Crais narrate this book in duet style narration. Amelia is a new narrator to me and I loved the way she showcased Scarlett’s strength and determination to be the person she wanted to be. Connor brought to life the swoony prince, he portrayed Cian love for Scarlett and care for her family. I enjoyed both of their performances.

This was my first book by Dakota, and I loved it! Love Me Fearless is an angsty small-town, friends-to-lovers romance, and I loved every minute of Ava and Hutch’s romance. The chemistry between these two was undeniable. I loved their friendship and the way they were there for each other. The suspense in the story will keep you guessing until the end. Their happy ending will make you swoon.

Laura Horowitz and Robert Hatchet narrate this book in dual narration. Laura is a new narrator to me, and her performance was great. She did great at portraying Ava’s strength and the struggles she had with her feelings for Hutch. Robert did a great job portraying Hutch’s sweet but protective nature for Ava and his family. I loved both of their performances.

I really enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to going back and listening to the prior books in the series.

Grouch-ish was a sweet and fun retelling of the 12 days of Christmas. When Brock gets into trouble at his fire house he is ordered to a retreat with his captain but when he misses the bus he spends his retreat with the captains daughter. Sparks fly between these two the more time they spend together and they open up to each other about their pasts. Watching these two fall in love was a delight and I really enjoyed their story!

Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton narrated this book in duet narration. These two brought the chemistry and fire between Brock and Pear to life! I loved both of there performances!

The conclusion to Sarah and Henri’s happy ending was a journey and you’ll need some tissues along the way. These two really put my heart through the ringer. Their story was so captivating, intense and the twists and turns along the story made for an amazing read.

Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East gave incredible performances throughout this story. They were able to make you feel the love, the hurt, the anguish these characters had throughout the story and elevate the story with their performances. I highly recommend this series from Elle O’Roark.

I was excited to be jump back into this series in audio and tell the back story of Sarah and Henry. This story is a prequel to the first two book in the story and is captivating time travel romance. I could not get enough of Sarah and Henri’s timeless romance, full of angst, tension and intrigue. I can’t wait to see how their story concludes after that cliffhanger.

Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East narrate this book in duet. We get the story from Sarah’s point of view and Samantha does a lovely job of portraying the anguish her character has with her abilities and the feelings she is trying to fight for Henri. Shane East does an amazing job portraying Henri’s protectiveness and jealousy throughout his dialogue in the story. Together these two show the chemistry between Sarah and Henri and I’m looking forward to listening to the conclusion of their story!

How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is a fun and spicy Christmas romance with all the holiday cheer. Storee and Cole’s romance starts off as an enemies to lovers and rivals in a Christmas contest in the town of Kringle but ends up turning into a heeling journey for both of them. The story will have you laughing, feeling emotional and falling in love with Storee, Cole and the whole town of Kringle! Another great read from Meghan!

I absolutely loved the cast in this one. Vanessa Edwin and J.F. Harding lead as Storee and Cole. Vanessa does an amazing job at bringing Storee’s bright personality to life. JF brings to life the grumpy Cole and does amazing at portraying his emotions from the tragedy in his past. Emma Wilder plays Taran, Storee’s sister, who is determined to win the town contest and does a great job bringing her character to life. Robert Hatchet plays Max, Cole’s charismatic and funny best friend and does great in his portrayal. Shane East brought a fun element to the story voicing as narrator of the story!

The Fake Wedding Project is a sweet, fun romcom about two feuding families in the town of Tingle. Amanda and Dane agree to a fake engagement to bring peace to their families. I loved watching these two fall in love while solving the mystery of why their families have been feuding for so many years. This book was so much fun, absolutely swoony and full of small town shenanigans.

CJ Bloom and Connor Crais narrated this book in dual narration. Carly and Connor were a perfect duo to bring Amanda and Dane to life. They did amazing at portraying the comedy of the story and the chemistry between the characters.
