When She's Gone by Rea Frey, Rea Frey
4.0
In When She’s Gone, a young gymnast makes a harrowing escape from kidnapping. Years later, the story takes a gripping turn as Cora faces her worst nightmare: her own daughter has vanished. To reclaim her child, Cora is pushed to do the unthinkable—take another child in hopes of getting her daughter back.
This fast-paced, suspenseful tale kept me on the edge of my seat, exploring the lengths one might go to save your child. Frey masterfully weaves in plenty of twists that will keep you guessing and turning the pages.
The dual timelines add depth to the story, and I loved all of the 90s details.

If You Need Me by Helena Hunting
4.5
I absolutely loved If You Need Me! This emotional story centers around Dallas, a man who is undeniably obsessed with Hemi. His feelings are intense and well intentioned, but at times, his execution leaves something to be desired. Knowing the depth of his feelings, I couldn’t help but love Dallas and root for him to win Hemi’s heart.
I loved Hemi’s character. A total bada$$ today, Hemi is grappling with her past experiences that make it hard for her to fully embrace the present and Dallas’ genuine and longstanding feelings for her. Narrators Andi Ardnt and Stephen Dexter nail the palpable tension between Hemi and Dallas, especially as they navigate the tricky waters of trust and vulnerability.
Despite some hiccups, the depth of Dallas and Hemi’s connection and the emotional weight of their journey truly resonated with me. Ardnt and Dexter connect you to these characters and keep you invested.
If you’re in the mood for a heartfelt exploration of love, trust, and healing, I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen!

Best of Both Worlds by Emily Silver
4.0
Noah had it all with the Colorado Black Diamonds, but one hit from Graham changes everything. A last-minute trade sends Noah to the Nashville Knights—Graham’s team. Even though these two knew each other growing up, they can’t seem to get along. Until they’re forced to be roommates. Suddenly, Noah is falling hard and fast for his arch nemesis.
What to Expect:
🏒 Pro Hockey Romance
🏒 Player x Player
🏒 Forced Proximity
🏒 Enemies to Lovers
🏒 Teammate Banter
🏒 Bi-Awakening
I felt so bad for Noah getting traded at the end of Best of the Best. Broody Noah arrived in Nashville, worried he had lost it all. But he connects with a great group of guys on his new team. The camaraderie between the new teammates is a lot of fun!
The tension between Noah and Graham lingers. Their relationship naturally evolves from fierce rivals to grudging teammates to roommates then lovers. There are so many special moments between them that I loved, along with Noah’s patience and the realization that things happen when they are supposed to happen.
The cameos from the Mountain Lion and Black Diamonds series characters were such a treat! I loved the group texts Noah had with his friends and former teammates, as well as their banter on the ice when the teams played. I also loved the sage advice from the Mountain Lion characters who are now parents.
Noah and Graham’s journey towards embracing their authentic selves and being loved for it was beautifully portrayed. This book is a celebration of love, patience, and self-discovery!
