A Tension-Filled Second Chance

Revisado: 03-28-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Bella Matthews delivers a steamy, high-stakes romance in Captivating, blending enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and forced proximity into an emotional and addictive listen.

💔 What’s the Story?
America’s sweetheart is exhausted by fame and desperate for a break. But when a stalker threatens her safety, she’s forced to accept protection—whether she likes it or not. Enter Killian St. James, the MMA fighter she once loved and now can’t stand. Pretending to be her boyfriend keeps her out of the paparazzi’s reach, but with danger lurking and old feelings resurfacing, their arrangement soon feels anything but fake. As the threats escalate, she must decide if she can truly trust Killian—with her life and her heart.

🔥 What Worked:
✔ Intense Chemistry – The tension between the leads is off the charts.
✔ Well-Developed Characters – Their emotional journeys feel raw and real.
✔ Perfect Mix of Romance & Suspense – The blend of danger and desire keeps you hooked.
✔ Great Narration – The voice actors bring the story to life with passion and emotion.

⏳ A Small Critique:
The slow build-up adds depth to the romance, but the stalker subplot could have used more focus. While the tension between the leads is gripping, the suspense element—arguably one of the most intriguing aspects—felt slightly underdeveloped. More emphasis on the looming threat could have heightened the stakes and made the resolution even more impactful.

💘 Tropes You’ll Love:
✔ Enemies-to-Lovers
✔ Fake Dating
✔ Bodyguard Romance
✔ Second Chance
✔ Forced Proximity

🎧 Final Thoughts:
If you love slow-burn romance with explosive chemistry, protective heroes, and just the right amount of danger, Captivating is a must-listen. Even if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, this interconnected standalone will leave you craving more.

🙏 A huge thank you to Bella’s content team for the opportunity to listen to this book!

A Romance with Heart and Heat

Revisado: 11-28-24

🌙 Over the Moon is a romance that has been hyped all over Instagram, setting sky-high expectations. While it’s an enjoyable read with a lot to offer, it didn’t entirely live up to the buzz for me.

What Works:

- Compelling Setup: Aubrey’s return to her hometown after her seemingly perfect Chicago life falls apart is a relatable and engaging premise. Her new boss, Wolf, adds tension and intrigue with his brooding, protective demeanor.
- Sizzling Chemistry: Aubrey and Wolf’s connection is steamy and electric. Tess Watters knows how to bring the heat, and fans of intense romance will appreciate the spice.
- Emotional Weight: Tackling heavy themes like harassment, heartbreak, and resilience, the book offers depth beyond the romance.

What Fell Short:
Despite its emotional themes, some aspects of the story felt underdeveloped, leaving me wishing for a more profound emotional impact. The hype made me expect more, but that doesn't mean it wasn’t an enjoyable read.

If you’re drawn to edgy romance with protective heroes, sizzling moments, and plenty of drama, Over the Moon might be a great fit for you. While it didn’t quite meet my high expectations, it’s still a story worth experiencing. 🌟

🔥 Holy smokes, this book is hot!

Revisado: 11-22-24

The brilliance of this book lies in how Grosse writes the intimate scenes. There’s an exquisite balance between vivid detail and the perfect amount left unsaid, allowing your imagination to fill in the blanks. The result? A reading experience that’s as sensual as it is satisfying. But Axes & O’s isn’t just smut—it’s layered with emotional depth, bringing Fox, Morgan, and Nathan to life with their vulnerabilities, strengths, and undeniable chemistry.

The narrators take this story to the next level. Their voices breathe emotion, passion, and authenticity into every moment, making the characters and their relationships feel real and compelling. It’s the kind of performance that turns a great book into an unforgettable experience.

If you’re a fan of steamy romance with depth, Axes & O’s is a must-read (or listen). Kayla Grosse has created magic, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next!
