When an audiobook is narrated by the author, one hopes it will be pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s due to Julia Whelan’s background as an actress or the fact that she wrote the words she speaks, but her narration of My Oxford Year is exceptional. She is so expressive that it is easy to get wrapped up in the story.
I’m fairly new to Kate Canterbary’s work, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. I am surprised that Underneath it All fell so far short of my expectations.
Single parent romances and surprise pregnancy tropes are my jam, and A Kiss for a Kiss combines both of these. The result was a little ambrosia for my bibliophilic taste buds.
Gah! I loved this book so much! A Not So Meet Cute just may be my favorite Meghan Quinn book so far. It’s a hilarious enemies-to-lovers fake relationship story with a delicious slow burn and an uber hot payoff. I read it straight through.
Boyfriend is pure entertainment packed into a quick read.
I just finished reading Before Girl—my first Kate Canterbary novel—and really enjoyed it. The author’s note at the end suggested reading this book to learn about Riley and Alex’s love story, and I’m so glad I chose to dive right in. Preservation was quite the tasty treat—so much so that I want to go back to the beginning of The Walshes series to enjoy the entire meal.
I’m clearly in the minority here. Based on all the glowing reviews, I expected to be blown away by A Love Letter to Whiskey, which only made my lackluster response all the more disappointing.
The Soulmate Equation is surprisingly cute. I was afraid the book might spend too much time on scientific details, but it’s just the right amount. The relationships between the characters are what really interested me.
Getting Real is the third standalone in the Getting Some series and before I go any further, let me take a moment to bow down to the great narrator Zachary Webber. I always admire his vocal performances, but he takes it to the next level in this audiobook. The emotions, the clever distinctions between the characters, and the believability are *chef’s kiss*. Andi Arndt’s narration is excellent as well, but I found myself especially looking forward to Zachary’s chapters.
For the life of me I don’t know why Sulli’s story needed to be a trilogy when it could easily have been told in two books. It’s just way too long for a story I wasn’t fully invested in. Anyway, I think I liked Infamous Like Us the best of the three books.
Getting Real by Emma Chase is now live in audiobook!
I enjoyed Fearless Like Us more than the previous book. The story picks up right where Wild Like Us left off, but the pace seems faster and there’s a lot more at stake for everyone.
