Audiobook Review ♥ Mercy by Debra Anastasia
I was looking for a book by a “new to me” author and stumbled upon Mercy. It has high ratings, but I was on the fence about reading it because I don’t like my romance on the super dark side. Don’t give me a book full of kidnapping and torture and then try to make me fall in love with the victimizer. Zachary Webber and Muffy Newtown narrate the audiobook, though, and I love them hard so I figured it was worth a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. Mercy is actually a heart melting love story with the perfect amount of darkness to shake things up and suck you in.
Audiobook Review: Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen
The books in the Brooklyn Bruisers series have been hit or miss for me, but Brooklynaire is a friends-to-lovers story that hits all the right notes.
Audiobook Review: Pucked Up by Helena Hunting
Pucked Up is the second book in Helena Hunting’s wildly popular Pucked series. I had a lukewarm reaction to the first book, Pucked, but decided to give the series another shot. I guess I liked this book marginally more.
Audiobook Review ♥ When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann
When Ashes Fall is a dazzling romance featuring a unique love triangle. I have no idea why, but I’m one of those masochistic readers that allows my heart to torn be apart by love triangles time and again. While I saw the writing on the wall within the first few chapters, I appreciated the creativity of the plot and my attention was captured throughout.
Audiobook Review: Faking It by K. Bromberg
Well, Faking It was a tasty treat—a wonderfully light palate cleanser, if you will, after reading some seriously angst-filled books.
Audiobook Review ♥ From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata
Mariana Zapata slays it again with an utterly entertaining enemies-to-lovers story set within the world of professional figure skating. I listened to the audiobook of From Lukov with Love which is 15 hours long (524 pages), and I can honestly say that I didn’t want it to end.
Audiobook Review: Dirty Headlines by L.J. Shen
Dirty Headlines showcases a softer side to L.J. Shen’s writing, and I liked it. A lot. I swear she’s one of the OG creators of truly despicable alphaholes. Shen’s enemies-to-lovers stories are typically dark, filled with a massive amount of tension and hatred between the lead characters, and yet deliciously addictive. Truthfully, she’s the only author who can make me fall for a character who is virtually unredeemable (Case in point: Vicious). Dirty Headlines manages to keep the alphahole, the feisty underdog heroine, the push and pull, but adds lots of fun.
Audiobook Review: Lovers Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Lovers Like Us is the second book in the Like Us series. There are even more characters involved this time around, but I think I finally have a good handle on who’s who. There are more conflicts and added suspense, including family drama, tabloid scandals, and a crazy stalker on the loose.
Audiobook Review: Damaged Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
I just fell in love with a bisexual god named Maximoff Hale, a rich philanthropist who excels at everything. The man is fiercely devoted to and protective of every single member of his enormous family. Selflessly, Maximoff only indulges in one night stands, refusing to subject lovers to the public scrutiny a more serious romantic relationship with him would cause. He’s the perfect specimen. His hot tatted and pierced bodyguard, Farrow, is no slouch either.
Audiobook Review: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
I’m ashamed it took me so long to read this book. An unarmed black man being shot by a white police officer is something that has become frighteningly common. The subsequent news stories always create a storm of emotions in me, and none of them are pleasant. I needed time to brace myself for what I anticipated would be an uncomfortable book to read. Rather than depressing, I found The Hate U Give to be a profound and uplifting story—one that transcends the Young Adult genre.
Audiobook Review: Bane by L.J. Shen
Once again L.J. Shen has made me fall in love with an anti-hero. Yes, Bane is a liar, a con, a thief, a bully, and a whore. Guess what? I fell for him anyway.
