Two people murdered at the exact same time, in the same gruesome way, with their bodies adorned in red poppies—yet they’re on opposite sides of the country! What’s the connection, and why were they targeted? As the body count rises, the clock is ticking, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

I can’t help but gush about Kara, Matt, and the rest of the Mobile Response Team (MRT). I’m fully invested in this team. Each book in this series just keeps getting better and better. This time, the MRT is up against a complex case that’s as puzzling as it is chilling. It’s definitely one of their toughest challenges yet, but this team is uniquely equipped to solve it.

What I love most is how the team has evolved. They’ve really gelled, and you can feel the camaraderie as they face this daunting task. Plus, there’s some fantastic character development for a couple of team members that really adds depth to the story.

From the get-go, this book pulls you in with its fast-paced, baffling plot, and a cast of intriguing players. The conclusion? Absolutely nail-biting and oh-so-satisfying! I can’t wait to see what wild ride the MRT embarks on next!

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with Chase Lovett Wants Me? 😍 This book completely swept me off my feet! Helena Hunting has done it again, delivering a delightful story filled with heart, humor, spice, and unforgettable characters.

Chase and Cammie are an absolute dream! Their chemistry is off the charts, and I found myself rooting for them from the very first page. Chase is charming, swoon-worthy and genuinely earnest in regard to his adoration of Cammie, while Cammie is quirky, relatable and strong. Together, they create a dynamic that’s both fun and heartwarming. You can’t help but fall in love with them!

What made this read even more special were the clever tie-ins to the Toronto Terror series! As a fan of that series, I was thrilled to see familiar faces and references woven throughout the story. This book is like a warm hug for Toronto Terror fans! Note, this book is a complete standalone and can easily be read without reading any of the companion series (just know that you’ll just want to start it immediately after this one to get everyone’s stories). 

And let me just rave about the duet audiobook narration! CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke brought Chase and Cammie’s story to life in such an engaging way. Their voices perfectly captured the emotions and energy of the characters, making me feel like I was right there with them. I found myself smiling and laughing throughout. What a fantastic listening experience!

I’m already buzzing with excitement for what’s next in this series! Helena Hunting, please give us more of these incredible characters and their adventures very soon! If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh, swoon, and finish with a huge smile on your face, Chase Lovett Wants Me is the perfect book to get your 2025 reading off to the right start!

I first binged this trilogy back in 2020, and guess what? I’m diving back in—because it’s just that incredible!

The banter between Reed and Georgie is a delightful rollercoaster of emotions and laughs. Watching Georgie turn Reed inside out is just hilarious! And let’s be real, Reed knows his bad boy charm is totally irresistible to her. They both have their defenses up, but from their very first encounter, it’s clear they’ve each finally met their match.

Their chemistry? It’s like an intense fire that just keeps burning. And trust me, there’s an unforgettable scene that will make this book live rent-free in your head for a long time. 🔥

This trilogy perfectly blends seductive tension, banter, and an irresistible cat-and-mouse dynamic between Reed and Georgie.

If you’re debating between the audiobook and the the book, go for the audio—or better yet, enjoy both! My immersive listening experience was nothing short of perfection with narrators Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt! Morgan nails Reed’s off the charts arrogance while also capturing his deep affection for those he cares about. Meanwhile, Arndt brings Georgie’s sass and inner strength to life beautifully. Together, these narrators create an unforgettable listening experience.

I could read this one over and over again even though I don’t often re-read. 

I received a gifted copy of this audiobook.

Childhood sweethearts Henry and Jade find their way back to each other in their hometown after years apart. But the big question remains: will they rekindle their romance?

Years ago, Henry made the noble choice to let the love of his life go so she could chase her dreams—just like he did. But let’s be real: neither of them ever truly moved on from that first love. 

Now, let’s talk about the ✨ full cast narration ✨ of this book. I’m on a mission to get every audiobook to follow suit! JF Harding absolutely nailed the role of the uber responsible single dad (and secret dirty talker!) Henry, who always puts everyone ahead of himself. And can we take a moment to appreciate Brooke Bloomingdale? She perfectly captured Jade’s evolution and her internal struggle to make things work with Henry this time around. Oh, and Bodhi, Henry’s scene-stealing son and undercover matchmaker? His voice was spot-on! The additional narrators for Henry’s friends and teammates added a lively touch that made their banter feel so real.

I’m a sucker for the “it’s always been you” trope, and Jade and Henry are the epitome of that. They knew they were meant for each other from the start but had to navigate their own growth to make it work. Watching their individual journeys and their evolution as a couple was a joy, especially with their supportive family and friends cheering them on.

And let’s not forget that ending! 😮 I’m practically bursting with questions about what’s next for one particular member of the Falcons crew!

If you’re into second chances, single dads, or hockey romances, Mr. Broody should definitely be on your TBR list!

I received gifted ALC and ARC copies of this book.
