Light and fun

These stories are fun with all of the characters connected in some way. I really enjoyed the series.

Love these collections!!!!

I love these collections so much! Easy listen and feel good story lines. My fav narrators all in one too!

Steamy

Sweet and steamy stories. Easy reads. Great for summer or Thanksgiving vacation. Blakely never disappoints.

Wow… what happened?

I’m a Lauren Blakely fan but these all were horrible. I couldn’t even finish half of them. Ouch….

Hoped for Dual Narrators

I try to only buy romance with dual narration so was disappointed when 2 of the books didn’t have it. I do enjoy Blakely’s steam!
