Story
Brad hoped the night of fun with the beautiful baker would turn into something more. Too bad she came with drama he didn’t have time for. Bess wanted to break her streak of bad decisions when it came to men. Too bad the handsome detective was a jerk like the rest of them. But for Brad and Bess, it would take time… and a crime… to bring them back together. And now they had a chance to put all their misses behind them and discover that the hero they were both holding out for was each other.

I truly enjoyed this story of Sam and Haley, how Sam was so loving and as they both grieved for his best friend and she her husband, how he kept his promise to take care of each of them. Hope who never got to meet her daddy and E#die who was only a toddler.

Story
Joanne Norris was hopeful she’d find love one day, but the disastrous blind dates her mother arranged weren’t getting her any closer. Then she met him. Bryce Townsend had good friends, a job he loved, and four rescue cats, but no one special to share his life with. Then he met her. It looks like love may have struck. But when a body is discovered and Joanne is targeted, it will take more than love to keep her safe.

I really enjoyed Andy's story, especially when as a youth he thought it was ok to bully Ivy, but because he was agree that his own mother left when he was just 7 years old, caused alot of anger and resentment towards woman and how he over came it and that even Iby not only forgave him but emphasized with him.

Swoony Romantic Suspense
Reviewed: 03-07-24
Roman Costas was raised to be a leader. His father tried to drill the humanity out of him and his brother and although he wasn’t successful, Roman was left with a skewed vision of himself.
“Men like me don’t love.”
When Roman inadvertently puts Effie in the line of danger, he jumps in to rescue and keep her safe.
“He took. He ordered. He commanded, and he got what he wanted.”
Effie is strong, smart and beautiful. She doesn’t want to settle, she wants a real love and a full life and has to convince Roman that he can have it all too. I listened to most of this on audiobook and loved the narration!!

Story
Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who's never met a party she couldn't host or a charge she couldn't lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

Oh So Swoony! This Could Be Us is very slow burn but you can definitely feel the heat!
Soledad thought she was living her best life until her world comes crashing down around her. She has to keep her head above water while providing for her three daughters.
“My dreams aren’t haunted by the past or all the cruel things he did to me. I dream about a bright future of my own making.”
Judah has his hands full with a new job and autistic teen sons. He isn’t looking for more, but can’t deny the immediate attraction when he first meets Soledad. He knows she is someone he needs to stay away from.
“All loves aren’t created equal. Some spring from the earth and wrap around and twine through our souls like vines. Some are plants that start with tiny seeds in your heart and blossom over time, nurtured by years and commitment.”
I adored this story! It is the second book in the Skyland series, but can be read as a stand-alone. A definite must read! I listened to about half of it on audiobook and the narration is wonderful!

James Sommers returned from the war with his nerves in tatters. All he wants is to retreat to the quiet village of his childhood and enjoy the boring, predictable life of a country doctor. The last thing in the world he needs is a handsome stranger who seems to be mixed up with the first violent death the village has seen in years. It certainly doesn't help that this stranger is the first person James has wanted to touch since before the war.

Story
Renowned as much for her wit and satirical social commentary as for her stories of love and romance, Jane Austen remains unfailingly relevant and one of Britain’s best loved authors. In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.

The Jane Austen Collection on audio was like a play in my ears. I loved the experience. Where previously Northanger Abbey, while well liked, was my least favorite. With wonderful narration and all the nuances of the actors I found so much more humor and enjoyment in Catherine’s story and in all the stories in this collection.
