I loved this forbidden romance! I listened to it in one day, Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden had me hooked from the first minute. The journey from lust to love was so good, and all the emotions and drama felt so real to me. Harlow and Bridger are great together, and I loved all the secondary characters as well. Can’t wait for their stories!

I loved this book so much! Flynn and JT are amazing, and their connection is clear as dag even when they’re fighting it. I wanting to shake them both at several times just to get them to see what was right there in front of them. It’s filled with swoony and steamy moments, with the right kind of drama. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Each time I read a Kathryn Nolan book, I know it will be a great one. Bohemian fits right in with her other books, it’s the perfect combination of swoony and steamy! I loved it, and I wish I could visit this bookstore. It sounds like an amazing place to spend hours and hours!

This was the perfect book to hide away from the world with on a rainy day. Tristan and Blue were so great together. I’m usually not the biggest fan of insta-love but it never felt like that with them. Can’t wait to continue the series!

I loved this book so much! It was the perfect holiday read, with a great mix of swoon and steam, fun and heartwarming, sweet and emotional. It’s about love, about hope, but most of all about family.

This was such a great, quick listen! Perfect for a winter trip. I loved how it was more a play than a book, with all the characters being voiced by different people, the background noises, and the flow of the story. So much fun to listen to an English story and have so much in foreign languages as well, I could even follow the Italian a little bit! And I learned some Finnish words, which is always fun.
