Whoa, this book is Hot, Hot, Hot! On top of the amazing steam is a great story about discovering what you want and not letting society and what other people think get in your way. I loved it!
The duet narration definitely added to the enjoyment, the audio was so good! All narrators were amazing, the three of them did a great job!

What’s a better setting for a book when it’s stupid hot outside than it to be set in winter and there’s talk of snow and American football? Nothing, exactly. This book helped me cool down, even during the steamy moments (and they were definitely steamy!). I loved it! I just wanted to hug both of them several times, and tell them everything would be okay, haha!

So good! The tension from the case is so clear, I couldn’t stop reading. I loved how the relationship between Marsh and Levi kept developing, without interfering with everything that was happening. On to the concluding book!

Such a great balance between the suspense of the case they’re trying to solve and the tension of the romance that’s starting between Levi and Marsh. I loved it! No other option than to start the second book immediately!

A quick read with fun moments, but it didn’t manage to get me to care about either Summer or Beckett. Everything felt a bit to clinical for me, but it’s hard to figure out what was missing for me.

I loved this book so much! It had a great balance between having fun and finding how to love yourself again. Joining Henry’s journey in learning how he’s not his failures, and Auggie’s help with that, was so good! Hamlet the pig stole the show, and it’s always great to see the other guys from the series pop in!

This was another moving story from Melissa Grace in the Midnight in Dallas series. We already knew from the previous books that Katie was struggling with her health, and Feels Like Home describes her hard and frustrating journey towards a diagnosis and the struggles that come with knowing you have a chronic illness in such a beautiful and real way. I felt her struggles with coming to terms with it, as well as Dallas and his journey with loving someone with a chronic illness. So good!
