"A stunning tale." —Booklist, STARRED review for How to Be Remembered

For readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew how long your loved ones would live, would you tell them?

Dr Charlie Knight fears life is passing him by. He's in his late thirties, and treading water as a family doctor in the same small town he grew up in.

Just as he's planning his escape, something changes. He develops a gift, an extraordinary insight for any doctor: a sense of exactly how many days his patients have left to live. 

But in a country town like Marwick, his patients are his friends. His own family. The people he grew up with, and the girl he still loves.

And Charlie discovers this gift may not be a gift at all.

Review:

This book had a very unique premise. I was not expecting this hometown doctor to be able to tell when a person is going to die. Is it a gift that he's able to help the people that come to him lead a better and more full life, or is it a curse to know something that is deep about people you know and care about?

The emotion that Michael Thompson was able to portray in our MMC, Charlie's character, was amazing. His ability to show depth and heartbreak at the level he did... masterful.

Ryan Ennis did a great job bringing Charlie and the rest of the cast to life through his voice. Thank you for that.

I'd also like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Audiobook Review: Wolves Always Bite by Lori Ames

Wolves Always Bite by Lori Ames
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I couldn't come up with much that I liked in this book. It was cheesy and seemed to just get cheesier the longer I read it.

I will say, though, that the wolf shifter, Adrian, was well developed, but Jeremy was a giant cheese ball. While I think the author was trying to make this a rom com, it didn't come across as that for me.

Kirt Graves did a great job of bringing all the characters to life.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Review:

I wasn't sure if I'd be into royal escapades, but this quick read/listen proved me wrong. The characters are endearing, but I found the story to be lacking in oomph. It just seemed to rush through everything so quickly that I was left wanting more, and not it a good way.

I'm not sure if I would want to read another book by this author in fear that all of her books are this brief. I did however enjoy Melanie Crawley's narration of this book. She did a great job.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Audiobook Review: Life Derailed by Beth Merlin and Danielle Modafferi

Life Derailed by Beth Merlin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book told you a story about how AI could affect us, even when we don't realize it. It's a story of a widow wanting to find her way back into her life and is ready to let someone in again. But when she finds out what's behind her success story in potential online dating, she's hurt.

I love how well the authors brought in the current craze of AI and showed us what it could eventually be, if we allow it. The characters are great. I loved the banter, and the hope showed throughout.

The narrator Caroline Hewitt did a great job with this book. I'd love to listen to more books read by her.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

What Not to Do on Vacation: A Novel by Rachel Magee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While there are only 3 sisters to follow on this journey, at the beginning of the book, I had a heck of a time trying to separate them and keep the facts straight. But once I did, the book flowed, and the characters came to life for me and became friends. I hated seeing any of them in pain, and I was so happy to see that love won out in the end. (What's a rom-com without a happy ending?)

Karissa Vacker, the narrator, did a great job keeping each voice separate and giving us characters we could tell apart and fall in love with.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Audiobook Review: Friends With Benefits by Marisa Kanter

Title: Friends With Benefits

Author: Marisa Kanter

Publisher's Insight:
 
Lifelong best friends say 'I do' to a marriage of convenience, trading vows for a financial safety net and benefits. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Katherine Center.

Evie Bloom pays attention to the details. Her very job depends on it—as an aspiring Foley artist, she’s responsible for every crisp footstep, smacking kiss, and distinct sound in film and television. So when she’s selected for a fellowship opportunity that would make all her career dreams come true, she’s quick to spot the catch: there are no health benefits, and for someone with a chronic illness, that’s a non-starter.

Theo Cohen is an elementary school teacher who can't afford to live on his own in LA, and is facing eviction after his roommates couple up and move out of their rent-controlled apartment. But there is one loophole in his lease: each tenant must meet an income threshold, unless the tenants are married.

For Theo, the answer is obvious. Marry Evie, his best friend since forever. It’s not as if they don’t spend all their free time together anyways. Not only will Theo be able to keep his apartment, but Evie can be added to his insurance plan so she can accept her dream fellowship. It’s such a logical, practical solution. Never mind that Evie doesn’t really want to be married—not to Theo, not to anyone—ever. Or the small, complicating fact that Theo has always been a little bit in love with Evie.

But it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Marriage. It will just give them space to breathe, and much-needed relief from the daily financial stress. It won’t change anything.

It’s . . . going to change everything.

Review:

Can you trust yourself to make the best decisions when you're a little bit in love with your best friend? Probably not! But when your worst decision turns out to be the best decision for everyone in the long run... even if they don't know it... can it still be considered bad?

I loved the chronic illness rep in this book. The author did an exceptional job portraying it and its struggles. Ms. Kanter did a great job showing emotion and love in this book as well.

I've never read a book in which the character was a Foley artist, so this too was a real treat learning about the job and how it worked. I'm thankful the author put so much work into the research into this book.

I enjoyed listening to Gail Shalan and GM Hakim read this book. It felt like friends reading to me.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

“Of the recent crop of Formula 1 romances, this one’s way out in front.”  -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

When the curves are this dangerous, only a race car driver will do… A sizzling, high-octane Formula One rom-com you can read in one sitting!

Mia Neal is a champion overthinker. Find something, fixate on it and spiral down. Fortunately, she puts that energy to good use: in a podcast about Formula One, her favorite sport in the world. There’s nothing about racing Mia doesn’t adore. The speed. The drivers. The fierce competition. The single-minded ambition. Ironic for a woman who’s changed careers more times than she can count.

Only now, her salty takes on gorgeous Brit driver Xander Bishop have gone viral, and the podcast feels more and more like what she’s meant to do… Then Xander’s teammate invites her to the Miami Grand Prix to see F1 up close—and get in Xander’s head. He’s not exactly delighted at the shade she’s been throwing his way.

It should be all-out war. Instead, Mia and Xander are stunned by the sudden crackle of…something sexual arcing between them. It’s irresistible, unbelievably hot—and Mia’s warning flags are waving. Because this reckless attraction is coming at Mia all too fast…

Review:

While sports romances have not always been at the top of my TBR pile (unless it's hockey), this book has put Formula One books on my radar. (Or perhaps just books by Karen Booth?) So, for all of you who have the need for speed, it's time to pick up Not So Fast. Karen shows us that she's quite capable of crossing the finish line!

My only problem with the book was the multiple POV switches in the same chapter (but it didn't bother me enough for me to lower the rating on the book). While this may be denoted by scene/POV change graphics in the paperback/ebook, there is no such thing in the audiobook.

Talon David did a great job with the voices and narration in this book.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Publisher's Insight:
 
Enemies by day. Spicy fanfic author and devoted reader by night.

Things are about to get downright Shakespearean.

All’s fair in love. And war. And fandom.

Financial auditor Micah Mila is used to being the bearer of bad news, and her latest assignment in the local university’s English department has been especially taxing—no thanks to a literature professor who clashes with her at every turn. Thankfully, she has an after-hours escape: reading spicy Shakespearean fanfic.

Professor Aidan Scott is damn good at his job. But Micah has been a thorn in his side since the moment he laid eyes on her—eyes that really like what they see. Yet, with his job on the line, there’s no room for distractions. At least, not beyond the sexy fanfic he secretly writes.

When Micah discovers the man getting under her skin is the writer heating her up, their enemy vibe turns steamy. But with Micah’s audit due and Aidan’s career at risk, separating fantasy from reality becomes more than a little complicated…  

Much Ado About Hating You by Sarah Echavarre Smith

Shakespeare, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, secret romance, hot professor, “good girl,” dirty talk, hot nerd hero, black cat girlie, working together, praise kink, she comes first, high heat level, “I hate you but I love f&*$ing you”

Review:

What do you do when your job essentially puts other people on the unemployment line? You suck it up and do what you're paid to do, no matter how much people put you down and question your morals. But what happens when the person who is the most vocal decides that you're a feast? (You'll have to read to find out!) Those are the problems faced by our FMC, Micah. Poor thing.

And our MMC, Aidan, is suffering from wondering how much longer he's going to have a job since Micah is consulting for the University to find out where the fat could be cut in his department. Will he be next on the chopping block? And who else should be blamed but poor Micah?

If you enjoy a good spicy, enemies to lovers book, then this book is definitely one you should pick up. Sarah did a great job with the tension in this book and of making the characters both likeable and loveable.

And Cindy Kay and J. F. Harding gave the book the extra pizzaz it needed to bring it to the next level. Kudos you two, kudos! Stand up and take a bow!

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Publisher's Insight:
 

Two workplace enemies find themselves in close proximity on a tropical company retreat that challenges their assumptions—and just might make them to fall for each other—in this romcom by a by a beloved TikTok author.

Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss’s son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she’s picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It’s a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee.

Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it’s not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along?

Review:

Tris works in a white male dominated industry. She's working to push through the glass ceiling of her job and make it in her field. But when her boss' son gets the job she's been working hard to get she nearly loses it. But soon she finds out that she's been picked for a leadership retreat (along with Rafe - her boss' son) and that gives her a little hope. But when they get there, guess what ladies and gentlemen... there's only one bed. (What a great trope!) But Rafe's not half the monster she thinks he is.

This enemies to lovers, workplace romance, with only one bed and forced proximity is a really fun listen. Soneela Nankani (our wonderful narrator) made the book fun, and she brought all the characters to life in such a great way. Kudos.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

Publisher's Insight:
 

In this enemies-to-lovers romance, school nurse Josie and her brother's best friend--hockey player Wyatt Jacobs--are tricked into spending a summer together that's anything but smooth sailing.

When Josie's brother sends her to a random address for their (sometimes) annual Super Summer Sibling Extravaganza, she finds neither siblings nor extravaganzas. Instead, ends up at a run-down cottage on the Northern Neck of Virginia occupied by a hockey player she knows and loathes.

A hockey player who isn't just one of her sports agent brother's clients. He's also his best friend. And Josie's sworn enemy.

Oh--and her brother wants Josie to help Wyatt recover from his injury.

Dragging grumpy hockey players to physical therapy is a far cry from bandaging skinned knees, but for the price her brother offers to pay, Josie is willing to try.

Even if it means sharing what she dubs the quaint little murder cottage with Wyatt.

Begrudgingly, Josie starts to see a little more of the man behind the grumpy exterior. And when she finds out he was supposed to sail the Intracoastal Waterway south to Savannah scattering his uncle's ashes, Josie surprises even herself by offering to be Wyatt's first mate.

Smooth sailing is nowhere to be found, and Josie begins to wonder if they'll be able to make it home without killing--or kissing?--each other.

And yet, the longer they share cramped quarters and canned food, the more of Wyatt's layers she peels back until Josie realizes she misunderstood him, their shared history, and perhaps herself as well.

Review:

Josie is set to go on a vacation trip with her brother who plans them and she just follows along. Unfortunately he's duped her this trip into taking care of his client/best friend who is suffering from an injury.

Wyatt's a grump, plain and simple. And when he finds someone on his property taking pictures, he blows his top. The next thing you know, she's in a cop car and the local cops are asking for autographs. What he doesn't realize is that the woman who was "snooping around" is actually his best friend/manager's sister, who he just doesn't recognize.

After everything settles down, Josie agrees to help Wyatt out, against his wishes, and they form an unlikely relationship.

In this brother's best friend, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine book, you'll find characters that you just can't help but love. When the book is over, you're left craving some more time with this wonderful pair.

Andi Arndt and Patrick Zeller did an exceptional job with this book. Their narration was spot on and had me pulled in from the first chapters.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read this book.

Audiobook Review: Change of Pace by Kayla Grosse

Change of Pace by Kayla Grosse
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Coming from a background of not knowing anything about Kawasaki's disease or ICDs made this book worth its weight in gold. The author was knowledgeable and brought this Rom-Com into today by educating us on things that we need to know more about.

Jessie and Ash are such a lovely couple from day one and we were dealing with a slow transition on Jessie's part in letting someone in, so that was a little agitating because I felt poor Ash deserved so much better. But it was nice to see the woman give the grand gesture in a romance book.

I loved, loved, loved Ash and his kind heart, and caring nature. He is definitely someone I wanted to steal from the FMC because she wasn't treating him the way HE needed to be treated. Luckily it all evened out in the end and they lived happily ever after.

I was worried at first that the author was going to leave out the last crossed out item from the bucket list... and... she didn't disappoint. I just had to be patient. And patience is NOT my middle name.

I Loved the narrators Victoria Connolly and Grayson Owens. What a dynamic duo.

I'd like to thank the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this book.

Review: Roller Coaster Romance by Kate Moseman

Roller Coaster Romance by Kate Moseman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When a cover looks like this, and the title has the word "romance" in it, I expect it to be a romance. I guess you could call it romance-lite. Granted, there were some romantic elements... kinda, but not enough to really pull it together for me. I found that most of the discussion in the book had to do with unionization, and again, little to do with romance. I was rather disappointed.

I enjoyed the characters in this book as they each had their own distinct personality. It was nice to see that the FMC was able to stick to her guns and fight the good fight from the inside.

Though I will say that Angelina Rocca did an exceptional job reading this book.

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this book.

M.K. England NEVER fails! This book is no exception.

Nic is in love with Skylar - but Skylar is moving to Fiji and everyone seems to be okay with that... everyone except Nic and Kira, who vows to get to the bottom of this hairbrained scheme and stop it before Skylar gets hurt.

But neither Nic nor Kira see it coming when, while working together, they start to have feelings for each other. But, are either of them ready for finding something new when they are still trying to fix the problems that are going to befall Skylar?

The longer their scheming goes on, the more they wonder if it's even worth it.

I loved the characters in this book and fell a little bit for Skylar as well. Oh and maybe some for Kira. :D

The narrators Angel Pean and Kristen DiMercurio did exceptional jobs keeping me engaged and not allowing the story to be drug down.

Moms Like Us by Jordan Roter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I hate leaving a 3 star review, but I found this book to be a little convoluted. It was like a spider web of lies that have brought down an entire private elementary school. At first I had a hell of a time getting into the characters because there was such a tangled web and too many spiders I think. I just wanted to be able to follow a few characters and get to know them but found it too hard to dig into one of the characters before another would come forward.

I will say that the ending was quite a shocker, one I didn't even dream of happening. So, there's that.

Helen Laser did an exceptional job reading this book and keeping all the voices distinct. I'm very honored to have heard her portray this motley cast of mothers.

Audiobook Review: Audre and Bash are Just Friends by Tia Williams

Audre & Bash Are Just Friends by Tia Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Audre has the hardest choice to make - deal with the luck that has handed her, or allow the problem to take over the good that could become out of her summer. Audre feels, I think, that life has let her down. She's become second fiddle to both of her parents' new children and feels like they've pushed her to the side. When her best friend suggests she hang out with someone who can help her learn what the real deal is about being a kid in the summer, she turns to Bash. The boy that everyone has something to say about, but are the things they say true, or just fabrications?

When Audre comes to Bash asking him to be her fun consultant, he's taken aback. What could someone like him be able to teach someone like her? Yes, she's pretty, yes, she's got her head on her shoulder, but there's something about the things she wants to do that pull him in, wanting to help for the sake of spending more time with her.

This book took a turn toward the end that really shook me. I'd like to say that Tia Williams is a master of showing how generations of women can hide what they call a curse in order to break the cycle that has been passed down from generation to generation. Ms. William's characters are real, heartbreaking, and emotionally aware.

I'd also like to commend the narrators for doing an exceptional job. Jordan Cobb and Torian Brackett - bravo!

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Audiobook Review: American Housewife by Anita Abriel

American Housewife by Anita Abriel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maggie has it all now. Everything she could ever wish for. She has a career as the host of the beloved TV show The Maggie Lane show, a cooking show that proves to be everything the American woman wants and needs in their lives. She teaches cooking along with being the friend that every woman wishes she has. But to have that show, she had to marry her boyfriend (though he has tried to get her to agree to marry him several times) and provide the persona of the all-American happy housewife. What the world (and her husband Teddy) cannot know is that she holds a secret, one that could ruin her name and her marriage.

This book is told in spurts of the current time of the book to the past before she met and fell in love with her husband, Teddy. Her backstory is riveting and full of twists and turns you aren't really expecting.

I found the book to be well worth the read. The characters all had such wonderful backstories and played such a great part in the FMC's life.

The narrator Jennifer Jill Araya was outstanding in this book, and I would love to listen to more of what she reads. She brought the characters to life... magic.

Hard to Get by Laura Moher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andi has been through hell, and back again. But once in a while she lets her hair down and dons a persona of Andrea hot singer with the band when they need a fill in. That's where Kevin meets her for the first time.

Kevin is smitten from the moment he lays eyes on this curvy goddess (thank you author for depicting curvy girls in such a wonderful light). But after a night of unbridled passion, Andrea disappears and Andi comes back. It isn't until football season starts that Kevin runs into Andi again, and even though Andi isn't all dolled up Kevin is still entranced.

The only problem I've had with this book is that the author didn't include trigger warnings in the beginning of the audiobook which I think are more than needed.

While it did seem to take FOREVER to get Andi to loosen up and let Kevin in, I loved the chemistry the two had in this book. The portrayal of the hypervigilant person, and also the talk they had with the football players in the beginning of the book... *chef's kiss*

Michelle Price and Paul Bellantoni were excellent narrators in this book. Thank you for giving me something that I can listen to at even my 1.75% and still love every single word. You are amazing and your talents are well used.

His parents thought the worst and sent him away to live a life of hell. When Griffin was abducted, his family learned he wasn't the one to blame, but they did nothing to stop the hell he was living in.

Fast forward many years and Dragon is trying to live life the way best he can. He's tipped off that his sister may actually be alive. To protect her, he goes to the only place he can go to get the help he needs, though he's loathe to accept the help but needs must, the Steels.

Diana just wants to be the best she can, on her own merit. But when right vs. wrong comes into play, Diana must choose what she's willing to live with. But at what cost?

It was great watching Diana and Dragon fall in love. The ending was satisfying, and I enjoyed listening to the narrator as well. I'd like to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author, for the opportunity to review this book.

Audiobook Review: Insignificant Others by Sarah Jio

Insignificant Others by Sarah Jio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lena's had a life filled with missed opportunities or Insignificant Others if you please. After the failure of one of these opportunities, she runs home to her aunt for comfort. Once Rosie goes to bed, Lena remembers the studio in the backyard and decides to check it out. Once inside, she falls asleep and is thrust into a series of "what if" scenarios of the men she's met in her life. Some of the instances are great, and some... just NOT! The lessons Lena learns throughout this book are invaluable and are some lessons we all should learn.

Ms. Jio did an excellent job piecing together this tangled web. I enjoyed getting to know Lena and all the men in her life... well, almost all of them.

I did find that this book could have done with one or two less men since it seemed to drag out a bit. And at the end I was prepared to be very upset that the book wasn't going to end the way "I" wanted it to, but... it did and I'm so happy!

When Ivy Met Adam by Jennifer J. Coldwater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What do you do when true love leaves? You move on...
What do you do when love knocks again? You let it in...
But is everything as it seems? I guess you'll have to read to find out.

I'm going to struggle here today with this review. Not because I can't find good things to say, but because there is nothing that I can say that can do this book justice.

One of the hazards of reading so many books in a year is that you find you forget what happens in the book in favor of starting your next read, but I can tell that this will not be the case with this book.

While I was still reading this, I noted in my journal the following sentences that sum up how I feel about this book:

"The author is absolutely amazing!! She has touched so firmly on what it is to be bisexual, transgender, and pansexual! The emotion in this book is beyond raw and just has touched every fiber of my being."

"...this book is pure art at its finest. I love it because it allows every nuance of people to be respected and heard."

I'm not sure I can say anything today that will allow me to convey how I feel any more than the words above have. "When Ivy Met Adam" should be on everyone's TBR list. If you don't read this, you're missing out.

I'd like to thank the author profusely for the opportunity to read this book. And thanks also go out to Happily Booked PR.
