Victoria and Noah are two people who couldn't have been more perfect for each other. They had both been through some serious trauma and still going through it. But they found solace through each other and I loved that for them ❤️. 

I truly loved how Noah cared for Tessa and carried her in a baby carriage around their apartment when she slept 😴 💤 . I just couldn't get enough of how he loved her ❤️. It made my heart swell so big and my eyes weep a little. For such a little girl she had such a big guy wrapped around her little finger. I loved seeing her grow and progress throughout the book. Seeing Victoria love on and care for Tessa the ways he did melted my heart ❤️. My bonus mom heart melted and my eyes leaked right along with it. 

I enjoyed seeing how this book progressed throughout the storyline, and definitely wasn't expecting to see how much of a suspense it turned into so quickly. I can't say that I didn't love the suspense and thrills that I got out of this storyline! I was rooting for Victoria the whole time! 

I cannot wait for the next and last installment to see where this goes from here!!

This is the first audio and book in general that I have read from Sara and I am in LOVE 😍😍😍. Between the broody Scottish MMC and the fierce FMC idk who I'm more in love with! These two were the perfect match for each other. They were both head strong yet needed that soft side that each other could give. 

Let me give a paragraph to the narrators! They definitely deserve it! Our female voice talent is spectacular!! She did this character so much justice!! Our male talent was beyond *chefs kiss 💋 *! I wish that this would have been in duet because I think it would have given the best and most authentic rendition of their interactions. But nonetheless this book was amazing!

Sylvie had an upbringing that most people people would run from. But she was a strong woman who refused to back down from a challenge. Even though she had been dealt some crappy cards along the way she had also been handed an Ace in the pocket when she met Killian in his house that day. 

Killian was the broody Scottish man who held onto guilt in an unfortunate accident that took his parents. He had agoraphobia and his way of coping was alcohol and Swingers Parties! Because who wouldn't want to have some fun if you were going to be staying in a mansion all the time?? Killian needed time to find and free himself. I loved growly Killian. He was a whole MOOD! Like please growl at me and call me Mo Ghràidh 🥵🥵🥵.

I went through some emotions with these two from the way Sylvie's parents treated her and how Killian's family treated him as well. I felt for them both because they were both just trying to find their way in the world. And trying to find themselves. They needed the support to be able to do that and found the support in the most unlikely place. Each other. 

I loved their tender moments together ❤️. It may have went from pure hatred to Lovers but there was definitely moments into here where Intimacy played a part. They each needed that Intimacy to be able to build their relationship. Without that Intimacy they wouldn't have been able to continue on their path to love. 

I loved their love. It wasn't a conventional type of love. But it was the love that they had built. 

I am so excited to continue the series and see what Killian's brother gets up to in the house!

I'm going to say this over and over. I love an audiobook SO FREAKING MUCH. Stephen Dexter and Erin Mallon brought these characters to life and gave these characters sooo much life. Not only did they give them life but they brought ASD awareness to more people with their voices. 

So many people don't understand ASD and I'm so thankful that Jenni has used her gift to bring light to it. 

💙 Now on to the show ⚾


Harper and Kyle have stolen my heart along with the whole crew in this book! This book was filled with a start studded crew that I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know throughout! I loved seeing previous characters from other books but also the newest!! I especially loved Piper and Sam! I feel like without Piper and Sam this book wouldn't have been as colorful and lively! They brought so much to the story! 

There wasn't one part of this book that I wasn't obsessively listening to see what was happening next. Harper was a mama who had been through some THANGS Y'ALL. Bless her ❤️. She has been through it and back. She is a warrior and she knew that she could get through anything even if at 8 AM she was ready to throw in the towel because Piper was having a bad morning too. Crabby was an amazing mom, and it showed through her kiddos. They were amazing kids who continually behaved even through the hard times, although they had their moments. When Piper had her worst days Sam was always the little trooper! He was such a sweet little guy who wanted to have fun 😊. 

Kyle Bosco the Baseball Hero ⚾ may have started off on the wrong foot, but he knew he had to make it right after he realized what damage he had done. Not only the damage he had done but what red head he had done it to! Even though he started as the original Crabby he quickly became Mr. Softy to me! I loved how big his heart was for Piper and Sam. Not only for Piper, Sam and Crabby but for children and families of ASD. It impacted him so much as a kid that he wanted to make a difference in other kids lives. 

Kyle had a complicated family dynamic for sure that entangled with Harper's that we found out as we moved through the story and it definitely was a doozy! I felt for Harper but I also felt for Kyle. He truly had her best interest at heart. He wanted nothing but the best for her and her kids and he did everything he could for them! 

This book by far has been my favorite of the Boston Rev's! I'm excited to listen to the next one!! 

🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

Harper and Kyle had such a magical connection! That's not always something you say when it comes to sex 😂. But I have to say these two definitely kept things spicy 🥵! I loved that he showed her constantly that she was sexy to him like he is sexy to her! He showed her in a mirror 🪞! That was hot 🔥!! Power Play dynamics was also another aspect that I enjoyed seeing play out with them! I never expected to hear her enjoy it as much as she did!

Stella and Miles are two destined souls who met when someone else just didn't see them for who they could have been together. 

Stella is a baker, business owner and all around Boss B*tch. She has made a name for herself in the bakery world. Everyone knows about Stella's and the out of this world treats she makes. Stella is just missing one thing. The man she couldn't have 8 years ago because she was forbidden by her brother to date him. 

I love Stella and her spunk along with her drive for what she wants. She knows what she wants along with how hard she is going to have to work to get it! She has no problem working hard to get it. The issue is what is going to stand in her way. When she hold back how she feels about Miles anymore I couldn't help but cheer her on!! I was like YESSSS GIRL!! GET YOUR MAN!! There are times when you have to say screw what everyone else wants, and take what you want instead. 

Miles is the Brothers Best friend that you have a crush on that you aren't supposed to. But when you have that ZING with someone you can't just let it go. Miles knew from the beginning that Stella gave him that ZING.  When she walked full force into his life, he knew she was it for him. I felt for him because he was stuck between a rock and a hard place! I loved how he loved Stella. He loved her for who she was, not what she had.

These two together were what you always dreamed a couple could be! Two powerhouses in their own rights that would continue to build their empires together! Not just their businesses but their love and families.

These two were dynamite 🧨 in the bedroom!! They weren't shy about what they wanted and what they liked!! 

I loved that they shared experiences with each other and spoke freely about what they had previously done. 

Things were definitely kept spicy 🥵 and he wasn't afraid to show her how much he wanted her and vice versa!

This is the first book by Lena that I have read/listened to and I absolutely ate this up! The characters that she brought to life with the narrators are chef's kiss 💋. I just wish they could have been DUET instead of Dual. I still loved this audiobook and the story that unfolded within. 

I loved the quirky town of Outtatowner that houses the Sullivan's and King's and all of their silly antics. Yes as grown adults they still pull pranks on each other 😂. I laughed along the way as they continued to make each other squirm and fume as they tried to figure out who did what to each other.  

Whip is a charming, insanely hot 🥵 Firefighter 🚒 who also is a woodworker in the King family. He is a dominant man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to tell you. Well, unless the Chief is standing right beside you and you're Emily 😜. Then that's for another time and place. 

Emily is a smart, confident advocate for the things she believes deserves to advocated for. She has a big heart and thinks that even though that one kid needs something they should be able to have it, even if it's a pencil or a notebook. She may have the nickname the Warden, but she is a softy at heart for the kids. 

Whip and Emily had the chemistry that was off the charts 🥵. Someone call the fire department 🧯👩🏻‍🚒🚒. I loved that they would sneak off and get in their touches, snarky snipes, and then later really have their time together. 

🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

These two went from stolen glances to touches to heated moments alone before anyone would notice they were gone. 

But they definitely had a hot 🔥 time when they were alone! They were afraid to share how they were feeling or what they wanted. 

If you read my reviews you know that I love me a good smutty Christmas Novella! 

This beauty hit all the right places! Theo and Noelle were two spicy little numbers who couldn't hide how much they wanted to make some cookies for Santa! 

They even brought out the lights and some dirty talk along the way 😉! 

I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get into the Christmas Spirit 😀

Ace and Lark have just taken up the #1 place in my heart over Riggs and Monroe. I honestly didn't think it would happen so soon but here are ladies and gentlemen. I absolutely loved these two! Okay I know I say that ALOT about characters, because I truly do love 💕 a lot of characters. But Candice knows how to write characters that I will love for all of eternity. Val and Mads brought us some kink but Ace and Lark just upped the Ante Y'ALL!! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!! Well unless you've read the book then you know 😉. 

Ace is a young rookie in the baseball world with a hot body and a big ole baseball booty. If you don't know about baseball booty then I'm going to have to ask you to watch a baseball game. Or do some research, cause YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Anyhow, back to Acey. He is a sweetheart if I ever saw one 💕. As soon as he saw Lark he was done for. He couldn't help but feel his heart go pitter patter and his pants were pitching a tent 🎪. Yep, went straight to the big tent. This man knew what he saw on front of him was top tier woman. He was not trying to miss out on her. 

Ace made a point to show her how much he cared by always making sure that she had candy to help with her sweet tooth, aftercare in various forms and communication. Showing her that she mattered in more ways than one. He didn't care about the age difference, because she was it for him. 

Lark was an amazing woman who had been through a marriage with a spineless Mama's boy. She was never valued for who she was, and was retaliated against constantly because of who she was, and what she wanted to do with her life. I loved Lark because not only was she a plus size woman but she also knew what she wanted out of life. She wasn't ashamed that she wanted to be a sex therapist. 

Lark fell for Ace but wanted to make sure that her relationship with him didn't cause any problems for him and his career. She was careful in making sure that they were in communication of their needs. With the tutoring that she provided Ace she was also able to tap into her and his sexual side and explore. She was also able to show him that he wasn't alone. She showed him that not only did he have her, but also a whole team that was behind him in everything he did.

Ace & Lark definitely had some of the hottest 🥵 🥵 🥵 scenes that Candice has written thus far!! I had to take a few breaks in between scenes and share with my husband 😜. 

With the exploration they were able to see what they truly wanted in their relationship. I definitely commend both of them for being open and honest about what they both wanted!

Izzy and Ledger met in the perfect kind of ❄️ snowy ❄️ meet cute! Who doesn't love their car breaking down when ❄️ snow is pouring down in flurries and you have a handsome 🤠 rugged cowboy come to your rescue? Oh, just me? Well if that isn't your type of dream then you aren't at the right book!

Ledger comes to Izzy's rescue when her car breaks down on her way to the next photog job that she has lined up. As fate would have it, they stay at his cabin that has no TV, WI-FI or technology of any sort. 

Izzy and Ledger bond like some people have never bonded- the old fashioned way. They not only bond but they also have a little fun with some whiskey and 20 Questions! 

I love how they were able to be open and honest with each other but never felt like they had to hide anything. Boy, after a little bit they didn't hide anything at ALL! They knew that they shared something special and had to see where it went right here and now even if it was only right now. 

🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

Izzy & Ledger weren't shy about what they wanted when they were with each other. They shared several scenes that weren't just your vanilla scenes. We have several different scenes that I was like YAASSSSS. A little whiskey tasting to go along with everything never hurt anyone! 


All in all I loved that Izzy & Ledger were more than willing to compromise to make each other happy. Not only were they willing to make each other happy, but they wanted to ensure that they could do more together than apart! I loved these two so much! I would have loved to see a whole novel with these two but I really loved this book!

This is my first read by Cleo White and I enjoyed it! I enjoyed this novella because it gives you a taste of this world and you're able to dip your toes into see if it's something you can get into. I fell head first 😂. 

Honor & Julian shared between them that they had to deal with Julians daughter was a bit of an insufferable brat who was more than ungrateful for the life she had. She didn't care that she stepped on anyone else as long as she got what she wanted. Unfortunately these two were stepped on for the last time. 

I enjoyed being able to see their before and after of when they were planning the benefit. But I wish we could have just gotten a seamless before and after. It was a bit choppy going back and forth. I feel as if there was also a bit too much out into this story for it to be a novella. If it would have been a full fledge story it could have worked better. 

But overall I enjoyed this novella and the characters it involved! 


🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

Honor & Julian definitely didn't thave to work towards their sexual chemistry! They went off like fireworks 🎆! Sharing that instant sexual chemistry isn't always easy but pining away like they did helped them along the way! 

They shared in enjoying light Degradation and enjoyed each other all over their hotel suite. They also loved having a good sex tape moment!

Riley and Nash are one of my favorite couples that I have read so far this year! I love the friends to lovers trope but not nearly as much as I love the It's not his but She's Pregnant trope. It will probably always be in my top 5 tropes. 

Cali wrote these two characters so well, and I loved that she wrote them in such a way that they not only complimented each other but that they were in love with each other from the beginning. 

Riley is a woman after my own 🩷 heart. She didn't like to ask for help because she didn't want to be in debt to anyone, even if they asked her if she needed the help. At times its so hard to accept it even if you need it. I loved Riley and how she embraced her found family in Nash's family and brothers on his hockey team throughout the book. 

Nash, Nash, Nash. You sexy son of a beast you 😍. You have all the girls purring when you walk by, but I love how he only had eyes for Riley. No one else mattered but her, she was his home. This man pulled out all the stops when it came to showing her how he cared. It wasn't a monetary love, it was a I'm going to actually show you I love you. I loved his gestures and how he took care of her even when she wasn't expecting it. He really showed her what being loved and cared for was truly like. 

When she was truly in peril he went Hulk at the hospital and I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't rooting for him. Because I sure was! I was like you get your wife, Sir!! He blew everyone else away when he came in roaring! What I would have gi en to be a fly on that wall when he said his wife 👀!!! 

Nash had so much ❤️ love to give to Riley and her little one and I couldn't have loved this man more for it!! Once he was able to truly express how much he loved Riley I think she was finally able to see how much he wanted to be in her life even though she struggled to see it. 

Those moments that he got to spend being a daddy with their little one was so beyond precious 💞. I had tears in my eyes 😭 and I couldn't help but feel the live as it poured off of the page. Their little family unit was absolutely adorable and I couldn't imagine feeling that precious moment that so many describe 🥰🥰🥰.

They weren't afraid to spice things up! I loved that they were adventurous in the bedroom! They kept things going by doing different positions and in different places!
