Everly Plum runs the Bridesmaid for Hire program at Magical Moments by Maggie. When one of the business's billionaire investors, Hardy Hopper, asks Everly to step in to help the maid of honor organize all of the events leading up to his college friends’ wedding, she readily agrees, but it’s not just her professional services that Hardy is after. The maid of honor is his ex-girlfriend, who has just returned to town. Hardy wants Everly’s help reconnecting with her. Despite her own crush on Hardy, Everly agrees to assist him.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Friends-to-lovers (friendship develops on page)
- Age gap
- Off limits / forbidden romance
- Workplace romance
- Email / text / epistolary elements (I’m a sucker for epistolary elements.)
- Pining / longterm crush (her)
- An “Oh my gosh, do I like her???” moment (him)
- Banter, banter, banter
- Steam
- Slapstick and lol moments
TL;DR: I adore Hardy and Everly together. The matchmaking efforts by the friends made me grin, as did all of the bird emails from JP of the Cane Brothers series. And the epically bad date with Tomothy (not a typo) made me both grimace and guffaw.
This one is excellent on audio! Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke’s duet narration really makes it come alive.

Historia
After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she’s enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother’s best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two—kicked off by a make-out session at her brother’s wedding that ended horribly—Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he’s in Bora Bora for his boss’s daughter’s wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Will Make You Laugh and Swoon
Revisado: 04-07-25
Both Maggie Mitchell and Brody McFadden see the Hopper wedding at the upscale resort in Bora Bora as a way to get in with that family. Brody wants a chance to get face time with the owner of his company in hopes that getting to know him on a personal level will make the big boss more amenable to supporting his business proposal. Maggie, who just happens to be vacationing at the resort at the time of the wedding, wants to form a business connection. Having ties to Hopper Hotels would be a great boon for her wedding planning business, Magical Moments by Maggie.
When a bridesmaid is unable to attend the wedding at the last minute, Maggie offers to step in and assist, and she poses as Brody’s girlfriend to get that introduction.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Destination wedding / vacation romance
- Brother’s best friend
- Fake dating
- Enemies-to-lovers
- Rake (who’s only ever loved her)
- Plenty of bickering and banter
- Only one bed
- Slapstick comedy
- Delicious steam
TL;DR: They love each other, y’all, and it’s been a long time coming. But that pesky, protective older brother has always gotten in the way, so Brody has gone on the defensive to protect both his feelings and his friendship. He didn’t mean to hurt Maggie in the process. I love them together, and it’s clear that the tension between them is something more (even if they can’t see it themselves).
If you’re an audiobook fan, I highly recommend listening to this one. Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke’s duet narration is absolutely fantastic.

Historia
When you work hard and have the bank account to prove it, you're entitled to play hard. I've seen some crazy things. I've caused some crazy scenes. And there's no shame in my game. But I'm still knocked off my stilettos when an insane chain of events leads to me inheriting a baby. The craziest part? The baby comes with a by-the-books, no-nonsense retired Marine who's so regimented that I wouldn't be surprised if he irons his boxer shorts.

A Billionaire, a Baby, and the Man Who Loves Them
Revisado: 04-02-25
A work hard, play hard heiress and a regimented, former military man are tapped to raise a baby together in an unexpected turn of events in Pippa Grant’s Crazy for Loving You.
This is the fourth book in the Bluewater Billionaires series. Each book is written by a different author and can be read as a standalone.
Much like the FMC Daisy, this one initially appears to be all fun, no substance, but as things go with Pippa Grant’s books, we see plenty of heart to go along with all that humor.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Billionaire romance
- Over-the-top setting
- Opposites attract
- Forced proximity
- Co-parenting
- Class differences
- Plenty of heat
- A bunch of cats
- And a neighborhood alligator
I especially liked Daisy’s big heart and how West really sees her.
Teddy Hamilton and Virginia Rose do an especially good job of capturing the humor in this one.
I received a copy of the audiobook from the author. All review opinions are my own.

Historia
All I want for Christmas is to be alone. You’d think having a breakout Christmas song to take your pop career to the next level would be a good thing, but the holiday has never been good to me, and I just need to escape. Hide away from the world until all of the lights are down and every radio station, streaming channel, and social media site on the planet gets tired of my viral holiday hit. Unfortunately for me though, my LA landlord has followed me to the mountains.

Snowed in, Age Gap Romance
Revisado: 04-02-25
A rising pop star and former boy band member, now movie star, get snowed in together over the holidays in Snowed in with Mr. Heartbreaker.
She has always been off-limits for him. First, there's that sizable age gap between them. Then there's the fact that he's her landlord back in California; she does live in his pool house after all. And then there's the ties between them; she's friends with his good friend's wife. He doesn't want to mess with the found family or make her uncomfortable in any way, but he fell for her over text before he realized who she was (or how old she is). He is so unbelievably gone for her but refuses to cross boundaries or make a move.
He's the one she thinks could save Christmas for her, but she would never tell him that.
I loved their sweet moments, banter, and the steam between them. I especially loved how they developed feelings for each other emotionally first and how competent Cash is. The man keeps them alive in the middle of a snowstorm and power outage in a mountain cabin in December, y'all.
Prior knowledge of both the Bro Code series and Copper Valley Fireballs series is helpful, but not necessary, to enjoy this one.
Sebastian York and Emma Wilder do a good job of bringing the story to life with their dual narration. It's a fun listen and at 3 hours and 41 minutes at 1x, is a quick novella length without extra fluff to listen to at Christmas or any time of the year.

Historia
One week with one little girl—an angel, according to my staffing agency. Acting as the short-term nanny for a single dad should have been an easy way to make some extra cash. Until I show up for my first day and face off with a demon disguised as a seven-year-old girl wearing a red tutu and matching glitter slippers. Oh, and her father? My temporary boss? Maddox Holiday. The same Maddox Holiday I crushed on in high school. The same Maddox Holiday who didn’t even know I existed.

A Quick and Entertaining Holiday Romance
Revisado: 12-19-24
A short-term nanny gig leads to love in The Naughty, the Nice and the Nanny.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Holiday romance
- Novella-ish length
- Single Dad
- Nanny-employer
- Teenage crush
- And a little girl, who seems like a handful but just wants attention and love
Given the title, I expected things to be naughtier, but I really appreciate that Maddox and Natalie wait until after he no longer employs her before things progress between them.
It’s a quick and entertaining holiday read.
4⭐️ narration from Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock - I especially appreciated that the daughter, Violet, doesn’t sound too babyish in the audiobook.

Fated Football Romance
Revisado: 12-19-24
An unconventional meeting, a—what’s supposed to be short term—marriage of convenience, and two people destined to be together kick off The Darlings series by Ilsa Madden-Mills.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Football romance
- Fated
- Bookstore!
- Marriage of convenience
- Close-knit siblings (plus some family drama)
- A cat
- And a stuffed pig
- Health concerns
- TW: abuse (not between the MMC and FMC)
I adored how fiercely loyal and protective Emmy and Graham are of their loved ones, the elaborate window displays and entertaining customer interactions at the bookstore, Babs full stop, Brody’s matchmaking, and Jane wielding an ax.
I enjoyed the audiobook narration, especially the sections narrated by Savannah Peachwood.

Humorous & Poignant Look at Humanity
Revisado: 12-10-24
Sent on a mission to Earth to wipe out a mathematician’s research—as well as anyone who may be aware of said research—an extraterrestrial learns there is more to the human species than he’s been led to believe.
As he familiarizes himself with his mission and what it means to be human, he becomes more and more reluctant to finish the job.
The story is handled with humor and care as the extraterrestrial takes the mathematician’s place and grows closer to his family. The extraterrestrial fumbles and stumbles along the way as he becomes more human.
I especially liked the Advice for a Human chapter.
The narration by Mark Meadows kept me entertained.

Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe.

A Bonkers Beginning to a New Paranormal Series
Revisado: 12-01-24
If you’re in the mood for a bonkers paranormal romance, Robyn Peterman has you covered.
In an attempt to quit smoking for good, Astrid goes to a hypnotist.
The good news: After being hypnotized, she no longer feels compelled to pick up cigarettes.
The bad news: She just so happens to be a Vampyre now.
As if that isn’t a startling enough change, Astrid wakes up to find a Guardian Angel, who’s modeled her earthly presence after Oprah, and a Fairy, who just so happens to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and wants to teach her how to fight, now visiting her home.
Something’s up with her best friend; different Vampyre houses are trying to recruit her; and she feels overwhelmingly attracted to a Vampyre that she’s pretty sure is a bad guy.
There are other things afoot, too, because of course there are (like things weren’t already kooky enough).
This is the first book in what I’m sure is a bonkers series.
My take: If you’re in the mood for something over-the-top, this just may be the book for you. I liked Astrid. She wants to do the right thing—even though she does get a bit distracted sometimes. The found family is a plus. I liked how more and more connections are revealed as the story progresses. And the chemistry between Astrid and her love interest is off-the-charts.
Give yourself a few chapters to get into the book. Look: Pam, the Guardian Angel, is A LOT, and she has a seriously foul mouth. (Consider yourself warned.)
I liked the book more once Astrid moves into the Vampyre mansion.
I enjoyed the audiobook version of this one. Jessica Almasy’s narration is a ton of fun, and I liked her vocal choices for most of the characters. I did not love her portrayal of Pam, though. Like I mentioned earlier, Pam on her own is A LOT. Pam’s personality and colorful language combined with the narrator’s portrayal were a bit too much for me. All-in-all, though, it is a fun audiobook, and I’m curious to see where Perterman takes this story.
I received a copy of the audiobook from Hambright PR. All review opinions are my own.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to listen to The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

Emma finally gets the happy ending she deserves.
Revisado: 11-13-24
An unlikely friendship forged in Fiji when they both needed it most leads to a son neither of them expected and a second chance at love in The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire.
Emma Monroe, of viral video fame, meets Jonas Rutherford, of Razzle Dazzle fame, while both are hiding out in Fiji. She’s running from the dramatic discoveries she learned at her wedding. He’s hiding from the public after details of his recent divorce were plastered across the media. They may seem like unlikely friends, but they form a strong connection in a short period of time. After spending a night together, he ends up ghosting her.
But he left a little something behind.
Fast forward a couple of years, and Jonas shows up in her hometown looking to meet his toddler son.
Emma has been burned before, though, so she’s slow to invite anyone into her son’s life and into her heart.
At a glance:
- Dual POV (+ a bonus epilogue from a third POV)
- Second chance after a vacation fling
- Celebrity romance
- He’s an actor from a very famous family
- Small town
- Found family
- Secret baby—but not one she tried to hide—who readers meet as a toddler

- A visit with beloved characters from the other Three BFFs and a Wedding books and from The Last Eligible Billionaire
- The protectiveness of the family / found family and how they support each other
- A hot tub scene that ends in an unexpected way
This one is narrated by Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood. They always do a great job; if you pick this one up, you’re in for an enjoyable listen.

I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother, but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do. Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

She’s always been a rule follower, and he’s known for breaking them.
The last thing Laney expects to be tasked with at her best friend’s wedding is babysitting the bride’s older brother, but here she is sharing a room with him. And spending most of her time with him. And learning that he’s not the person she always believed him to be.
He’s much more.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Destination wedding in Hawaii
- Best friend’s brother
- Forced proximity
- Enemies-to-lovers
- Teenage crush
- Only one bed
- Opposites attract
- Kittens!
Read it for:
- The banter
- Theo’s huge heart
- And his sense of humor
- Laney learning to let go
- I did mention the kittens, right?
- The scene with a pig
- The laugh-out-loud moments
- The 🔥 tension and chemistry between Laney and Theo
I loved the narration by Kit Swann and Ryan West. They captured Laney and Theo perfectly. I highly recommend listening to this one on audio.
Stick around for the bonus epilogue; it made me cackle.
