Having read For the Plot, I was beyond excited to read For the Show with Millie and Ezra! Y’all, I ate this book up!

Millie and Ezra have a bit of an awkward history, but ultimately find themselves in a fake marriage and boy do I love fake marriages. Pair that with them going on their fake honeymoon in Hawaii? You just know it’s going to be goood. There was tension, witty banter, spicy spice and swoon. These two were absolute perfection and their chemistry was off the charts. One of the things I loved most about this book was how supportive they were of one another and that they showed up for each other no matter what. We also can’t forget the spice and holy heck did Katie give us some unforgettable spice 😮‍💨

I can’t wait to see what Katie has in store for us on the next book!!

Thank you so much to Katie for the arc 💕

Two words: Hudson Hayes. AKA Huddy Boy. AKA my newest book boyfriend. This man is top tier material and the epitome of if he wanted to, he would. I could not get enough of him and this book. Heck, I made well over 200 highlights and notes. I love this book. I love this series. Chelsea, I’ve already said this multiple times, but I adore you so dang much and thank you for giving us these beautiful stories. 

Slap Shot is definitely Chelsea’s slowest burn to date and the wait was so freaking worth it!! Madeline and Hudson are perfection. Their relationship had me smiling like crazy, swooning, kicking my feet and just making me so damn happy. Then we have their relationship with Lucy. Seeing how much Madeline loves her daughter filled my heart so much, but then seeing the relationship between Hudson and Lucy? It was beyond special. The love and adoration he had for her had my heart bursting and reaching for my box of tissues.

Oh, this book was fun and spicy! The dynamic between Imogen and Roman was so good. Thea also did an amazing job addressing all the sensitive topics. I really loved how she showed kink as a way they expressed their emotions, but also how it ultimately helped with their healing. Both Imogen and Roman endured so much grief in their lives and seeing how they both overcome it was really well done. Oh, and we cannot forget about Logan, Abi, and Frankie. I loved them so much and I can't wait for their books!

Cute. Fun. Magical. A good time was definitely had and I really loved that this was a duet audiobook. I love a Scottish man, but make him possessive? Sold. Lana always knows how to give us spice and I was not disappointed. The spice was definitely spicing and the audiobook turned it up another notch. (Forked tongues anyone?) Overall, a really fun listen!
