Story
Holly is dealing with the impending death of her grandmother and still reeling from a bad breakup. One bright spot: a Valentine’s Day card on Holly’s windshield—even if it wasn’t meant for her. An amusing mistake soon turns into a lovely exchange of anonymous notes, little acts of kindness, and a growing affection between two strangers. What happens when one of them has to say goodbye?

So cute! My first by this author! Holly and John begin exchanging notes on the hood of Holly’s car and keep it up for a while without ever meeting. I loved that there is some real emotional depth to the story even though it is so short. I kind of wish it was a full-length novel. I own a few of Abby’s books-I should read them soon. I enjoyed this!
The audio is wonderful. Narrated by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber are both fantastic. Perfect length to listen to while out running errands.

Story
One typo, and a boy and girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met?

This is SO cute. I loved everything about it. I smiled all the way thru listening. And at 1 hr, 56 minutes, it’s a perfect length to listen to over two days’ commute.
This is my first by Christina Lauren, are they all so wonderful? Is this what I’ve been missing!?

When he’s loaned a decrepit old baby stroller to cart his groceries home, the rickety squeak of the wheels comforts him. So do the sweet coos of a baby Willy knows can’t be real. Can it? In this twisted thicket, wishes come true—with a price.

Great length for commute to/from work!
Reviewed: 10-02-23
I loved this. Is it a cult story or a supernatural story? I won’t say except that it’s really creepy, and got creepier and more gory as the story progressed. This story contains horror connected to grief, which just hits hard. I always love Joe Hill’s work and this was a lot of fun to read, especially coming up on the Halloween season. I sort of wish it was longer-I’d love to know more about the Sin Planters.
The nice, short length at just 1:31 meant it was easy for me to start and finish while commuting. Narrator Robert Petkoff did a great job💯
I’ve been looking forward to this Creature Feature collection on Amazon & Audible for ages. So glad it’s finally available!

While doing her best to avoid him, Nola bumps into the local mailman, who gives her a mysterious letter.

No-sex, “enemies to lovers,” Christmas short story

Reviewed: 12-07-22
This is my first Meghan Quinn story and for some reason I thought her books were quite sexy? Perhaps her others are, but this wasn't at all. It was "sweet" and would make a really fun Hallmark-y holiday movie. I actually really enjoy sweet romantic comedies like this one because I feel like stories lose themselves when they try to be too sexy for their length. I wouldn't have minded a longer story featuring these two and their second chance romance. More details about the two of them and their pasts and the rekindling of their relationship could have been a lot of fun, but this short little story was fun too.
Very cute. A quick listen with great narration. I definitely think listening is the way to go if you're able to grab an audiobook.

Reviewed: 11-28-22
Very sweet, very Hallmark-y story of a screenwriter (for Hallmark movies, actually) who travels from LA back to her tiny hometown in the mountains for Christmas as a favor to her grandmother. I love holiday stories where a character that has been jaded by the holiday ends up finding her love for Christmas again. This is one of those stories. I tried listening to the audio and couldn't make it even thru the first chapter. The narrator has a strange way of speaking and ending her sentences. It constantly brought me out of the story, so after just a few minutes, I stopped listening and just read most of the story on my Kindle.

So cute and sweet and practically saturated with Christmas, which is what I want in a Christmas read!! This is a forced-proximity novella that ultimately centers around a pregnant foster dog in need of a forever home. Mary and her foster dog Angel are driving up in the snowy mountains of Colorado, on their way home for Christmas, when they have an accident and are stranded. They make their way on foot to the nearest cabin, which belongs to hunky, grumpy Nick. Nick is the host of one of the most popular podcasts out there and he also appears to be anti-Christmas. Of course, Mary and Nick develop feelings during their short stay together, and of course, Angel the dog helps him open his heart back up to Christmas. Nick even features Angel the dog on one of his "pawdcast" episodes!! It's a dog story that isn't sad, with a happy ending!!
I SO wish this was a Hallmark movie. I would watch it over and over.
This was released first as an Audible Original with Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke narrating, and it is fantastic. I loved it so much that I also bought the Kindle novella, which was just released a couple of weeks ago. I haven't ever read anything by Emily March (Eternity Springs Series) but I may have to go back and start that series. This one was charming as hell.

Meghan O’Day isn’t sure what captures her fancy more: the sexy stranger in her Wichita diner or his reading material. Before long, Grey Carlyle becomes a regular, ordering the nightly specials and chatting with the spirited redhead about the classics. Certain that her favorite customer has an appetite for more than home cooking, Meghan decides it’s time to teach the good professor a thing or two about romance.

Debbie Macomber books are comfort listens.
Reviewed: 11-04-22
I love reading books by Debbie Macomber because these stories tend to know exactly what they are. This one was short and easy without any drama. One of her "classics" with an HEA. I listened to it after a very long, sweeping historical fiction story, and it was the perfect choice to keep me occupied during a particularly busy week at home and work. Parts of the story were a little bit silly and quite predictable, and-if I'm being honest-I got annoyed with the male and female leads at various points as the story progressed. But I never got stressed about the story, and that's exactly what I wanted when I picked it up.
I bought the audiobook so I could listen while I worked. Nancy Peterson narrates nicely.

Story
From C. J. Box, the New York Times-bestselling author of the Joe Pickett novels, comes a thrilling book of suspense stories about the Wyoming he knows so well - and the dark deeds and impulses that can be found there. Over the course of eighteen books, C. J. Box has been consistently hailed for his brilliant storytelling and extraordinary skills at creating character, suspense, and a deep sense of place. All of those strengths are in the ten riveting stories - three of them never before published - that make up Shots Fired.

Can't go wrong with anything CJ Box writes.
Reviewed: 11-04-22
This is a collection of short stories by the fabulous C.J. Box. Some of the stories feature Joe Pickett and/or Nate Romanowski from the Joe Pickett series, and some take place outside of the Pickett universe. All are very good, but there are a few standouts. The best part of this writing, as always with this author, are his descriptions of nature. He has an amazing ability to drop me right into the wilds of the Wyoming mountains, and I couldn't love that more.
As with every installment in the Pickett series, I listened to Shots Fired on audio because it is narrated by the wonderful David Chandler. It was nice to be able to listen to stories that I could begin and end on the same errand uptown, or while I was completing one chore. I still have a few of the Pickett books left and there is no other way I would rather consume these stories than by listening to Mr. Chandler's narration.

A short story told by a woman who was in a concentration camp along with her beloved pregnant sister. The story is epistolary, told in letters to the unborn baby. Lots of sadness, but there is also hope. Narration is great. Beautiful accent.
