In these six serendipitous short stories, bestselling authors turn improbable first encounters into hopelessly romantic happy ever afters.

Romance is in the Air: Tourist Season, The French Chateau Dream, & The Suite Life #BookReview #Audiobook

Yesterday, I posted my reviews for some thrillers/suspense books that I had listened to, today it is romance. These are books that I either read or listened to over the last couple of weeks. I enjoyed them all and recommend them to you romance lovers out there.

Thriller Thursday (on Friday): She’s Not Sorry, Darling Girls, & The Boy Who Cried Bear #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge

Welcome to Thriller Thursday, where I share my thought on the latest thrillers I have read. This week, I am sharing audiobooks from 3 authors who I really enjoy. Mary Kubica and Sally Hepworth both write psychological thrillers with twists that keep me on the edge of my seat. Kelley Armstrong has two series that I am reading, Haven’s Rock being a spin off of her well loved Rockton series. It is an action, adventure thriller that I enjoyed. Scroll down for my thoughts.

Audiobook Mini-Reviews: The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up, At The Coffee Shop of Curiosities & An Escape to Remember #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge #BeatTheBacklist2024

Three books that might be identified as Women’s Fiction as they all had women dealing with various issues. There is domestic abuse in The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up, grief and medical issues in At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities and infidelity, secrets and new beginnings in An Escape to Remember. There is romance, but to me, that was not the main theme of these books. Scroll down to see what I thought.

Romance Mini-Reviews: The Space Between, Better Hate Than Never & The Island of Dreams #BookReview #Audiobook #BeatTheBacklist2024 #2024AudiobookChallenge

Reading romance is lovely, especially when the sun is shining and I get to sit outside or listen to a story while working in my garden. These three stories all contain love and romance, but are very different from one another. There is one where the couple love one another, but are torn apart by family, a retelling of Taming of the Shrew with great banter and characters and finally a story of love that emerges through honesty and personal growth. I enjoyed them all.

I have been working to clear up my backlist on Netgalley and these three audiobooks are all from 2023. I did enjoy them all, but The Curious Kidnapping of Nora W was my favourite.
