Be Still My Heart!!! I Love These Two Narrators!!!

Revisado: 04-09-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Calling all Pride & Prejudice fans, and those who haven't yet discovered its goodness!!! Monroe and Fitz are well versed in the amazingness of P&P and can help bring your education up to par. And you won't be disappointed! You'll be a fan before you even know it happened and you'll be wanting to join Monroe in living out her P&P daydreams by running away to Pride & Prejudice Park. A fabulous cast of characters round out this amazing book!!!

I've read the book and listened to the audiobook. I loved listening to Stephanie Rose and Will Watt. They're amazing! I could listen to them all day, everyday! They did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life. Their acting and voice inflections just added such a great depth to this amazing book! Especially when Fitz was talking Darcy! *Swoon*

I loved how Jennifer Peel wrote this book! I couldn't stop grinning right from page one when we met the spunky Monroe and see her first interaction with the Duke. I honestly laughed out loud...so hard! I knew from that initial scene that I was going to fall head over heels for Monroe and Fitz. And I did! They captured my heart and I spent the rest of the book cheering them on.

I loved seeing their history through several scenes and coming to understand more about their love and friendship. It's complicated! But it made me cheer even harder for Fitz to get his act together and just tell Monroe! And y'all are going to be fist pumping the air and cheering for him from the moment you know he's all in! *Holy Swoon* All of the heart eyes and clapping and cheering for Monroe's boy Fitz!!!

He's really good at writing letters and talking. You might need to remind yourself multiple times that he is not the man for you, he belongs wholly and unequivocally to Monroe. I don't think there's anyone who sees them that doubts that. *Heart eyes* I'm soooo beyond excited for the audiobook and the narrator that the author was able to get for Fitz. I've heard a sample of him reading one of the letters and let's just say that y'all are going to be in Heaven!!!

There are some ups and downs but they make this journey and adventure worth every moment! It was so cleverly done! I'm not going to say anymore other than just read the book and enjoy this beautiful, witty, and delightfully charming story for yourself.

Thank you to Jennifer Peel for writing this story that I didn't know I needed. It's one of your best yet and is one of my favorite books ever!!! Monroe & Fitz will always have a place in my heart!

Content: Some kisses, some mild innuendos.

I received a copy from the author but have also purchased my own. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Reading!!!

You Want All Of This!!! Humor, Spies & Swoon!!!

Revisado: 12-20-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Move over James Bond, we've got another spy who is here to save the day!!! And man on man, does he deliver! Except he has on hiccup...a major one. And it has to do with his heart and ghosting a certain someone. Now he has a mission to show up at her sister's wedding and solve a case, take down the bad guy, keep his cover, and most importantly, keep his heart locked away and not get tangled up in a relationship with Sabrina...again! Yeah right!!! As if she'd even let him after ghosting her!

Oh! My! Heavens!!! Y'all, this book was soooooo good! And Sabrina! She's spunky and she sure knows how to keep Cash on his toes! I loved her character so much! Cash, be ware, you're going down! *smirks* And umm, Sabrina, you are too! Sorry honey, it's just inevitable when it's Cash!

I love, love, loved her family so much!!! Her parents and their all seeing eyes. Her Nana!!! Hahaha!!! Oh my word, she cracked me up to the extreme!!!! Cash, you better watch yourself around Nana! *smirking again* Her cousin is a hoot, when we see her. IYKYK. Her sister...ummm Bridezilla to the EXTREME!!!! Grandpa, her aunt and others are just all a perfect family combination to watch the drama!

The setting had me wanting to go on a vacation. The spy aspects had me feeling like I was right there helping Cash and Sabrina in this covert operation, sneaking around and trying not to get caught. The swoony romance had me sighing in happiness because these two are just adorable. I loved their realistic views on their situation and was there for it all!!! *Happy Sigh*

I also listened to the audiobook and loved the two narrators! They are fabulous! I hope that we get to hear more of their amazing voices for more of Jennifer Peel's books! Be ready to feel like you're right there with these characters if you listen to the audiobook. I didn't want it to end!

If you haven't read a book by this author, this would be a great place to start. I was hooked!!!

Content: Some mild swear words. Some kissing. The main characters sleep in the same location but in separate sleeping accommodations.

I received a copy from the author. I have also purchased my own kindle copy and will be getting a pretty paperback for my shelves!!! All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Listening & Ghosting!!!

Your Next Favorite Listen!!!

Revisado: 10-04-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is the Christmas rom-com story you need in your life! The perfect balance of laughter, emotions, hatred (think enemies-to-lovers), healing, swooniness and love!!! Seriously it is the BEST!!! And these two narrators together are perfection! I loved how they brought the story to life and created more chemistry between these two characters!!! Give me books narrated by Stephanie Rose and Stephen Dexter any day!!!

I was dying to enjoy this one with all of the teasers that Jennifer Peel was sharing for it. And let me just tell you that I squealed and did a happy dance with lots of giggles when it was available!!! Oh! My! Heart!!!! It's adorable! That prologue will have you all kinds of cheering for Holly and Brandon! But be warned...you might want to give Brandon a talking to, cause hello!!! How could he ever walk away from Holly?! There are some circumstances that cause them to go their separate way but oh la la to when they finally meet up again. Holly is a tough nut to crack but Brandon is not walking away from her again. Be still my heart!!!

The Merry Little Hate Notes are the icing on the cake! I was cracking up listening to them. So clever! I loved Holly's spin on the sticky note messages. It was the best watching her come out of her shell.

Things I absolutely loved:
The TED talk *swoon*
Working in the bathroom *giggling*
Christmas Tree Hunting
Her Dad
His Parents
Blue sticky notes
Work Forced-Proximity (no hiding this time Holly)
Workplace Holiday Cheer Activities *Good job sidekick*
Best sidekick EVER!!!! *You're going to love all of the conversations/thoughts about this*
That kiss *the first one and each one after*
Allllll of the Christmas vibes
Everything!!! *Seriously, I loved it all*

The cover is absolutely adorable and is a great portrayal of the cuteness you'll find within the pages. I will definitely be relistening to this one again here soon and getting a copy for my bookshelves!

I'm going to recommend listening this one with a cup of hot cocoa, a comfy blanket, some twinkle lights and some soft holiday music in the background. Just make sure you pause in your reading to drink your hot cocoa because you don't want to be spitting it out when you laugh. Fair warning! ;-) Maybe you'll even start your own little sticky notes messages with someone special out there! <3

Content: Some kisses and nothing more. The characters share a hotel room but nothing happens between them. There are a few mild swear words. ****Trigger warnings: Death of a relative and talk of a secondary character who is an alcoholic****

Happy Listening and Note Writing and Giggling and Swooning!!!

I Adore Meg and Zander!!! A Must Listen!!!

Revisado: 06-25-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Meg is a such a fun character! She's spunky and sweet! And Zander has met his match when he thinks he can get away with asking her to just be a fake girlfriend. Not gonna fly boy! This girl is made for true and lasting, not fake and pretend. Even if they were purported to be "Statistically Improbable" by the matchmaking software, Meg is going to prove it wrong.

There's a lot in the backstory for both of these characters. Loss, heartache, struggles and much more. That has definitely caused them to be cautious in different aspects of their lives. But I loved watching them grow closer together and build their friendship and challenge those differences and come to realize that they are a perfect match. The hard and good and everything in between shapes them even more. I loved it all! The banter, the chemistry, the friends, the wedding planning (Zander's best friend-see book one), the kisses, the swoon factor! And much, much more!

I listened to the audiobook and couldn't get enough of the way Marie Mitchell brought these characters to life! I was pulled in completely and didn't want it to end once I reached the Epilogue. I need more please!!! Luckily I can go back and read it or listen to it again and again and again!!! *Swoon!!!*

You can read this as a standalone but I loved the first book and how those characters are throughout this book. So I would recommend reading them in order, but again, that's just me and my preferences!

Content: A scattering of mild swear words, some mild innuendos, some kissing between the main characters but nothing further.

Happy Listening!!!

I'm in Love!!!

Revisado: 06-20-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I just listened to the audiobook of this baby and absolutely loved it! The dual male/female narrators was so delightful! They nailed the characters perfectly! I was swooning and sighing being back in this adorable story! I just love Lanie's character! She's strong and spunky and is going to go after what brings her joy, even when there are setbacks! Love, Love, LOVE this one!!! It's definitely on my re-read and re-listen lists!!! And it should be on yours as well!!!

Lanie Davenport is absolutely adorable and the sweetest person ever! She's such a bright spot of joy and sunshine that everyone gravitates towards her. You need help, need to fundraise, want to get something cleaned up, or just some sort of project that needs some organizational help and support...No problem! Lanie is your girl! She's got you covered and will happily help and rally the troops! She's a character that you want to be BFFs with and you know she's 100% there for you rain or shine! She's sparkles and cheer and happiness!

And guess who is in big trouble because of how amazing Lanie is? If you guessed Parker, you'd be very correct! Hahaha! He's in so much trouble and he knows it from the first moment that he meets Lanie. His grumpiness has no chance against her and her pink sticky notes! IYKYK! ;-)

These two have twelve weeks to live together as roommates and answer questions via video diaries for the experiment they signed up for. What's the catch? They don't know! Literally. They don't know what the experiment is for. One's in it to save humanity and the other to save his company. Ok, there might be more to their decisions that those reasons but you're going to love watching Parker squirm. Just don't mess with my girl Lanie, Parker! Or you'll be sorry! No more potato salad for you! And I might hide your pop-tarts. Just sayin'!!!

I have so much love for this darling book by Jennifer Peel. Yes, it's sunshine and happiness, but there are plenty of emotions throughout as well. These characters have struggles and heartache and sorrow as well. Just trust me that it's a ride you don't want to miss!

I love the Southern setting and characters! There's just something about a Southern girl and her mama that I love in my books! And boy oh boy, you are going to adore Lanie's mama! She's fierce and protective and loving and oh soooo very insightful with her girl!

The gaming aspect was really fun! I loved watching Lanie experience that and dive in full-heart! And the gaming Expo! There is so much to love about those scenes! *Happy Sigh*

And just you wait for that first kiss! It is worth the wait and all of the build-up! Trust me on that one! Jennifer Peel blew this one out of the water!!! And Parker is a goner!

I loved the ending so much!!! Oh my word! Everyone read this one super fast so we can talk about the ending! I need someone to talk to about it because I won't give any spoilers! Talk about some jumping up in the air and doing fist-pumps!!!

Excuse me while I rearrange my schedule so I can just listen to this again without any distractions or interruptions!

Content: There are some mild innuendos scattered throughout as well as some mild swear words. Some kissing/making out but nothing further.

Happy Listening!!!

Great Combination Of Sweet & Suspense!!!

Revisado: 02-22-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Colt and Brenna are back!!! I just love these two and was hoping that they'd have a sweet and calm Christmas visiting family together. But they're part of Griffin Force and when they're called to help figure out an international conspiracy and try to protect the son of a Kuwaiti diplomat, you know they're not going to say no. Time to put Christmas plans on hold and jump into action!

It was a quick, power packed story! Even when things don't quite go the way they'd hoped—in their hopes for Christmas and in their mission—these two didn't disappoint in their attitudes and in their goodness, trust in each other and their quick thinking.

Filled with the great timing and plot twists that Julie Coulter Bellon writes so well, I was quite happy and satisfied with how this one turned out. Especially the ending. *Happy Sigh* I was smiling so much for these two and loved that the author wrote us a little more about Colt and Brenna. You'll be happy and touched with this one! And the narrator can sure bring out the charm and swoon!

Content: Clean. This one deals with a couple attacks and some flying bullets. Some kisses but nothing further and no language.

Happy Listening!!!

Edge Of My Seat Story!!! Loved It!!!

Revisado: 02-22-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Wowsers!!! I loved this one so much!

Nate and Abby meet for the first time at a high security prison trying to figure out how a high profile prisoner escaped. Nate is captived by her right away. They get along great, even though she's reserved and he's hoping that maybe they'll be able to work on the case together as it progresses further. But he has a big surprise in store for him in regards to Abby.

I was not expecting the plot twist from the beginning. I was like "Whaaaaaattt???!!!" *Rubs hands together gleefully* You're going to love it but be caught off guard like me!

These two were great together! I really liked watching them learn to trust each other, as well as their quick thinking in figuring out how to capture this prisoner again and stop a major attack!

Abby's history was heartbreaking but I loved her determination, even if it meant giving up everything to protect others. She's a fabulous character. I think her and Nate are my favorites of the series so far. But man, that's hard to say because all of these characters have been wonderful. And you get to see a lot more of them working together in this one.

I love the Griffin Force! I love the sense of family and trust and goodness within their ranks! They sure have a fan in me!

And it just makes me so happy that it's the same narrator for all of the books! He's great and does such a great job and has me wanting to look for more books that he's narrated.

Content: Clean. This book deals with talk of attacks (previous and upcoming) and trying to find escaped bad guys. The author was sensitive in her writing but did a great job with it. But a heads up that this book deals with suspense in case these things can be a trigger for you. There is nothing more than sweet kisses and no language.

Happy Listening!!!

Full of Suspense & Emotions!!!

Revisado: 02-22-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This third book in the Griffin Force series is full of emotions. Oh my heart. Especially how it starts off. This one features Julian and Zaya. Julian is the head of Griffin Force and he was just about to propose to Zaya but the international bad guy Nazer al-Raimi, whom the Griffin Force team has been chasing after throughout the series, is back and he captures Zaya.

Julian and Zaya's story covers her captivity and some of the torture she experienced, her rescue and her healing. It's a sensitive subject but I loved how the author showed it in her book. It was very realistic feeling to me. I haven't been through Zaya's story but have experienced some trauma of my own that took time to work through it and heal. I loved Julian and his love for Zaya. He was so patient and loving and understanding towards her.

Unfortunately Nazer is still out there and he wants Zaya. She finds herself as the best option to get the team close enough to him to try and capture him. Oh my heart, the emotions! And Zaya's strength! And Julian's heart and strength!

Another nail-biting listen for me as the narrator of the audiobook had me feeling like I was right there with this team and with Zaya. It was wonderful! If you enjoy suspense and fast-paced reads then you'll be hooked on this book and series right along with me!

I was very happy and satisfied with the ending for Julian and Zaya. And that there was another book after this one for my reading pleasure!!!

Content: Clean. This book deals with a hostage situation, escape, moments of peril and fights. Some kisses but nothing further than kisses. No language.

Happy Listening!!!

Action Packed!!! Well Done!!!

Revisado: 02-22-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Oh my word! I was intently listening to this one and felt like I was holding my breath during some of the scenes! Edge of my seat and nail biting moments! Wowsers!

Brenna is in deep undercover with Nazer al-Raimi, a terrorist. She's seen things that she wishes she could have avoided. But she's too close to Nazer and doesn't want to compromise anything. Until a new hostage is brought in. Colt. Her former boyfriend. Can she stand back and watch him be tortured? Or will she risk everything she's worked for and struggled through to rescue him?

Seriously, I was holding my breath as I listened to Brenna's situation. A slave in Nazer's home and working next to him. Eeeekkk!!! Could you imagine? She has nerves of steel, seriously! I kept cheering her on and then sometimes would be talking out loud to the book and telling her, "Don't Do It Girl!!!" Or I would yell, "Ruuuuunnnnn!!!"

I wondered what she was going to do in regard to Colt. I kept hoping she'd do the right thing but then she'd remember her mission, but then she'd remember Colt and their history. Another holding my breath moment. *grimace*

Let's just say that I was very happy with this book! It pulled me in, hooked me, kept me listening as quickly as I could and I loved it all! Even the narrator was wonderful! He's one I've listened to previously to listening to this series and I really enjoy the sound of his voice. He's great at bringing the emotions and characters of the story to life!

Content: Clean. Some talk of hostages and torture, being undercover, moments of peril, guns and bombs, hiding and terrorists. The author did a great job being sensitive to the topic and not overly graphic while still delivering a great read. But if you these triggers you, I wanted to make readers aware of the content. Some kisses but nothing further. No language either.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

Fast-Paced & Captivating!!!

Revisado: 02-22-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I'm writing this review after listening to all of the audiobooks of the published books in this series and wowsers! I was completely hooked. I would finish one audiobook and quickly download the next one to devour. I loved how the main characters from each Griffin Force book kept having appearances throughout the books. I love when we as readers become invested in these characters and then the author gives us more into what they are doing after their initial book ends. It's one of my favorite parts about book series. It usually has me liking each subsequent book a little more than the first because we get to see more and more.

Tristan Wright is the narrator and I've really enjoyed previous audiobooks that he's narrated so I was excited that he was the narrator for this series! He did great with all of the voices and pulled me right into the story!

This first book focuses on Mya and Jake's story. They meet when a task force is being put together for a rescue mission. Jake is a former Navy Seal and Mya is the daughter of a notorious Algerian hostage negotiator.

Mya has a pretty big secret that could compromise her and the mission. But this secret is so big that she will risk everything for it. And we all know that withholding secrets is dangerous and can also cause people to be hesitant and closed off. Which is exactly happens here. Despite that part of her personality, I liked Mya. I felt her worries and concerns as the book progressed.

And Jake seems a little gruff and tuff (I know it's not spelled that way, just go with me on it) around the edges but inside he's really a softy! He might need a little help from his foster sister, Chivonn, but once he takes her advice, the softer side comes out a lot more.

The dynamics and chemistry between these two was well written. I loved the angst and tension between them. I loved watching them work towards trusting each other. When that trust was fully in place, they were safer and able to accomplish more together.

There were some moments that I wasn't quite sure how they'd get out of the predicament they were in but I kept making guesses at what would happen and listening as fast as I could!

Content: Clean. This book does deal with hostages and really bad guys (the word will trigger Audible and not let me leave a review, so guys who take hostages and do really bad things), moments of peril and guns and attacks. The author did a great job writing it without overly graphic descriptions but if those are triggers for you I wanted you to be aware. There are some kisses but nothing further.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!
