so-so🎧 The narrators did not work for me, and I think I‘m not meant to hear in my ear any even mildly 🌶️ scenes. I‘m not built for it. Reading the physical book may have worked better for me, but overall, this was not it. Dogs are one of my favorite things ever, but the MC “hearing” what the dog was “saying” but without any magical realism elements to back it up was an ick. And then the epilogue…🫠🫨

pickThis is cute and absolute fluff. Both, Charlie and Liam, are really adorable and if you're looking for something sweet to get your thoughts away from bad news - this might be a good option. For me it even felt a little bit Christmas-y, even thought it's not set during that time of the year. But the cozy feeling? The no drama story? To know that everything will end up good and super cute? Yep, that.
pick1997 Cooper‘s Run is a great setting. Like many a romance book I thought too much was written inside the MCs heads rather than enjoying their beautiful Vermont autumn. But the characters (including the dog) are all so likable so I‘ll give my grievance a pass. I can easily see this as a trilogy advancing the timeline 10-15 years with each installment so Emily then Brittany get their grown up stories.
so-soTate is in nursing school, working around the clock & living with her brother. When she stumbles into one of her brothers neighbors, miles, her heart skips a beat. They form a relationship that should have no future, but together they find healing& fulfillment in one another. Miles has a traumatic past he never wanted to expose to Tate, but in doing so he freed his pain. Lots of repetitive romance scenes but a feel good book that keeps you hooked!
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

bailedSetting aside for now. I may go back to it as I did purchase the ebook. However, age gap romance is not my favorite and the hero is not all that likable. I made it 46%. Is it worth me returning to?
pickSilas and Ellen captivated my interest throughout the story due to their varied characteristics. The various situations that have led them to where they are in life.
Human ties are central to the plot. Relationships are hard and confusing. Forgiveness, grieving, and moving on are difficult. However, it conveys a sense of hope that things will improve.
