Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh

Go to review page

4.5

Track Her Down opens with a teenage girl returning home to a nightmare: her parents have been brutally murdered. With no real suspects and suspicious things happening, Bree, Matt, and the sheriff's department are on a race against time to uncover the truth and protect the remaining member of this family.

From the start, I was captivated by the blend of deception, suspense, and unexpected twists. It truly made for an exhilarating reading experience! 

I also appreciated the further development of Bree and Matt’s relationship as they navigated this harrowing situation together. Plus, seeing Luke and Kayla continue to thrive added an extra layer of warmth to the story.

I couldn’t put this book down and finished it in just one day! I’m such a fan of this series and can’t wait to see what Melinda Leigh has in store for us next.

The Path to Loving Him by Meghan Quinn

4.0

If you’re ready for a delightful rollercoaster of romance, laughter, and a dash of baseball, then The Path to Loving Him should be your next listen!

Ryland and Gabby had a wild night together and thought that was it. Just days later, Gabby finds herself as Ryland’s assistant coach and (surprise!) tenant. Can they navigate the minefield of working and living together without giving in to the sizzling chemistry? Spoiler alert: it’s a bumpy ride! 😏

There are so many reasons why Ryland and Gabby are a bad idea, yet they can’t keep their hands off each other! Their hilarious attempts at being “just friends” are epic fail, and trust me, you’ll be laughing out loud! 😂 Plus, their shared passion for baseball and willingness to make sacrifices for family adds a heartwarming depth to their story. Both have baggage that makes their HEA journey a twisty one.

One of my favorite parts? Ryland’s relationship with his niece, Mac. This guy is determined to be the best father figure, and despite his worries, he absolutely nails it!

And let’s talk friendships! Ryland’s crew is a riot. Their unsolicited advice comes from a place of love, and the banter between Ryland, Able, and Hayes had me in stitches. And can we take a moment to appreciate no-filter Bower? Hilarious!

Now, onto the narration—Samantha Brentmoor brings Gabby’s fiery spirit to life, showcasing her determination to prove herself as a coach and support her brother. Sebastian York is the perfect voice for Ryland, capturing all his conflicting emotions and frustrations. York voiced all of the male characters and Brentmoor handled all of the female ones. I love when audiobooks have this setup.

So, if you’re in the mood for a spicy, humorous journey that leads to a heartwarming happily-ever-after, grab The Path to Loving Him! You won’t regret it!

After a tragedy, high school sweethearts Rhett and Lainey go their separate ways. Fast forward fifteen years, and a chance meeting brings them together. Can they leave the past behind and forge a new future?

Buckle up! The One is nothing like what you expect. We've waited this entire series to find out why Rhett is so tortured and it's a doozy. This book will send you on a rollercoaster of emotions. The angst is off the charts; everything about Rhett and Lainey's story will tug at your heartstrings.

This story beautifully weaves together tragedy, love, guilt, healing, and finally forgiveness. It’s a beautiful, emotional, raw journey that will deeply move you.

“It’s always been you. And, Lainey, it will always be you.”

Ready for a read that’s packed with heart and heat? The One is calling your name! It's an incredible end to this series! 
See How They Hide: A Novel by Allison Brennan

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!

Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting

5.0

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!

The Reed Rivers Trilogy: A Bundle of Books 1-3 by Lauren Rowe

5.0

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.

Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne

4.5

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!
