This story follows Beatrix and Cooper. Beatrix is working alongside her ex-boyfriend’s older brother when, during a drunken night, she creates a list with her girlfriends of things she wants to explore in the bedroom. Faced with a potential threat, she accepts the offer to move in with Cooper, a handsome NFL player, for the summer. But what could go wrong?

This was such a good read, and the audiobook was fantastic! I loved the premise of the story and honestly couldn’t stop laughing when the “list” was read out loud. The chemistry between the two characters was brilliant, and the relationship between Beatrix and Cooper’s daughter, Lizzy, was so sweet. I didn’t see the twist coming regarding the person behind the threats, and I absolutely loved how their relationship was flaunted in front of her ex—plus, Cooper standing up for her was perfect. Overall, this was a great read!

This is such a quick, very fast paced Christmas read! I still enjoyed this but due to length and how fast this couple got together with the pacing It was a little too fast for me. I love the drawn out relationship game which is personal preference. Also the spice was fantastic. If you’re looking for something quick and festive pick this up.

This story follows Dr. Sorel Fritz, who discovers on her wedding day that her soon-to-be husband has cheated on her. In a whirlwind decision, she takes off on a spontaneous trip with a younger, handsome quarterback friend, Mason. One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves bound together for the next three months. What could go wrong?

This was such a great read! Every book in this series has been a solid 4.5 stars for me, but this one is my favorite so far. Sorel and Mason have amazing chemistry. Mason’s flirty and fun nature really brings out the best in Sorel. I absolutely hated the behavior of her ex-fiancé and best friend.

I’m also obsessed with a man who will do anything for the FMC, and Mason made me swoon. He was all in from the beginning, waited for his chance, and showed Sorel what it truly means to be loved. The scene where they shouted at each other was so powerful, and I appreciated how Sorel’s journey with trust was handled. By the end, her trust in Mason felt earned and beautiful, especially after everything she had been through. It was such a rewarding moment to witness her realization of what love should feel like. Lastly the audiobook was fantastic highly recommend.

This was such a wild, fun, and crazy fictional read. Based on the Santa tale with the North Pole, elves, and reindeer, it had me laughing—and my goodness, the spice! First off, the charm bracelet situation was brilliant, and I thought it was so sweet. I didn’t expect Mila would have to wait a whole year for Nick’s return. The dirty letters every month with wishes to Santa made me laugh so hard. Toward the end, I couldn’t believe how long they held out during the silent treatment. Honestly, it was a fun, quick read. A bit fast-paced for me, but I still enjoyed their story together.

I’m diving straight into the review. First off, the FMC, Harlow, surprised me with her confidence, even though she’s a virgin. I actually enjoyed her fun, innocent side; she seemed eager to learn and wasn’t afraid to discuss intimate topics. It was refreshing to read. Waylon, the MMC, has a twin brother who stresses him out due to their shared past and his brother’s behavior when drinking. Waylon is a protector and always tries to be there for his brother, but it’s not always easy.

I feel Harlow and Waylon complement each other well, bonding over shared family struggles and past traumas. The dynamic where the MMC teaches the FMC about intimacy was deliciously written. This is my first book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoyed the audiobook and highly recommend it if you’re considering picking it up.

This was such a feel-good Christmas read! At around 200 pages, I thoroughly enjoyed Brooks and Lila’s story. It was a quick read with great chemistry, featuring a grumpy MMC and a girl who’s been pining for her brother’s best friend for years. I loved the Whispering Pine Inn setting, complete with a charming grandmother who cleverly manipulated them into spending time together. If you’re looking for something that will leave you feeling warm pick it up.

4.5

First off, the narration is brilliant, and the narrators embody the characters so well. It’s a fantastic audiobook, so I highly recommend it. This is a shorter read, and I’m gutted because the fiery tension and electrifying chemistry left me wanting more. I love the enemies-to-lovers and enemies-with-benefits dynamic—I was screaming! I need more of these two!

Vincent is arrogant, egotistical, and flirty, with a commanding side in the bedroom that was absolutely delicious. Lauren’s fiery, stubborn nature was something I thoroughly enjoyed. Together, these two ignite incredible tension.

This story is more character-driven than plot-driven, as it leans toward the shorter side. Once again, Q.B. Tyler delivers spice that sends me feral. I’m loving her work at the moment!

This story follows Lex and Posie. Lex, a famous F1 driver, is quite the ladies’ man with no intentions of settling down anytime soon. Now, he has a shadow following his every move—Posie Evans, a reporter hired to learn the ropes of the F1 world. However, Posie is keeping a big secret. What will happen when the truth comes to light?

I really enjoyed this read. I love how opposite these characters are—Lex with his luxurious lifestyle and Posie, a sweet Southern girl stepping out of her comfort zone yet standing her ground. She has some self-conscious moments, which I loved because it felt so human. I found Posie to be such a lovable character. Lex shows great character growth throughout the story and proves to be surprisingly thoughtful. This book was a good feel-good read, and I especially loved the F1 element since I’m a huge fan. The audiobook is brilliant, so I highly recommend picking it up if you decide to read this!

This story follows Jamie, a travel nurse who moves to Montana for a six-month stint. Moving in with three firefighters, one of them quickly catches her eye. Calvin, better known as Fitz, is grumpy and 10 years older. He’s a closed book, and Jamie can’t help but poke the bear, trying to get him to open up. Despite Calvin’s reluctance to settle down or commit, Jamie finds herself falling hard. But what will it take to get Calvin to let her in?

Jewel has done it again! This is a beautifully complicated relationship, with one person giving their all to someone who just can’t. The tension and chemistry between Jamie and Calvin were fantastic. And don’t even get me started on the plot twist—I never saw it coming, it threw a major spanner in the works. The story was deeply emotional at times, especially when declarations of love were made but Calvin remained unmoved but wanted to give his all. I absolutely love Jewel’s writing—she grips and captivates me every time I pick up one of her books. Highly recommend this and the audiobook!
