Tessa Bailey never fails to release an ‘OMG fan me' kind of book. This one was definitely spicy. I will say that the trope for enemies to lovers lasted like a day and turned more into an insta-love which I was a little bummed about. The banter and corkiness die out too quickly, I don't feel like the story gave you much time to see these characters really develop something for each other. It was a very fast paced read. Side Characters were great, I really want to see what happens in the next story with Hannah & Fox.

Overall, if you want a quick read with some very spicy scenes in it, this is your jam. I really did enjoy it but I wouldn't say its a favorite.

Loved it!

So I'm a big Pride & Prejudice fan, forever Mr Darcy! This story was so sweet and delightful. If your a fan of Jane Austen and her novels, you'll enjoy this out of the box experience in Austenland! Just imagine yourself going back to the time in Austen's novels and being able to relive them for yourself. Being able to find your very own Mr. Darcy. This story follow Jane Hayes, an obsessed fan of Jane Austen and her realization what it truly real and what is fantasy in her live and deciding whether it's time to give up on the fantasy. If you're looking for a fun light read, this one is for you! After you finish reading, check out the quirky movie adaptation of the book, you'll definitely get yourself some good laugh.

3.5 stars!

Zoey & Miles, both ghostwriters for dating sites. Nemesis in real life due to wanting the same table at their local coffee shop but in the online dating world they start developing a relationship. The concept is very interesting and for me it started that way but there were moments were the story was a little flat and I lost interest. Will say all-in-all it was a feel good story.

I've been a fan of audiobooks for a very long time, it's like a lifeline when getting through tough workdays.

When you listen to audiobooks for a while you grow attached to a set of voice actors that truly bring a story to life for you. I have more than a hand full of narrators that I can just listen to for hours. One of those narrators is Erin Mallon, she really brings out the characters in her storytelling.

When I heard she came out with her own play about the love for narrators of audio, I just couldn't wait too plug in.

It's brilliant, it's funny, it's refreshing. I also can't forget what an incredible cast of actors she got to help her narrate! Thank you for such a fun listen!

This ‘Friends to Lovers' story was full of wittiness and banter, I thought it was a cute fun read.

Lexi & Matt's longtime friendship is tested when Lexi ends up living with him for a few weeks after she accidentally burns down her kitchen. You'll start seeing how their friendship starts to change as they realize how attracted they are to each other, especially when Lexi's starts online dating.

I really enjoyed this book. Plus you can't go wrong with a sexy firefighter.
