Meeting Millie (Oxford Romance #1) by Clare Ashton, narrated by Gabrielle Baker
Millie coming to terms with her unexpected feelings is a thing of beauty I already knew when I started listening to this audiobook that I would love it. I had a slight apprehension about the narration because there were tiny details I didn’t love completely in Gabrielle Baker’s performance of Finding Jessica Lambert, but none […]
Not Just Gal Pals by Elizabeth Luly
A deliciously tropey romance Every step of her life, Jenny’s gone with the flow. If not for someone else’s mistake, she would still be enjoying her job as an influencer, a job that took off organically. As it is, her agent suggested she take a break, and visiting the hometown she couldn’t wait to escape […]
Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones
A wonderfully silly romcom with great disability representation It’s a classic in fake-romance novels: either the MC falls in love with the person they’re faking the romance with or they fall for their sister. Like in Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun (one of my favourite audiobooks), Haf meets the woman who will […]
The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur, narrated by Lauren Sweet
Excellent narration for a really fun romcom Tansy Adams has been lying to her family for months about dating a woman called Gemma. The name didn’t come out of nowhere, a romance novel model was the inspiration. Things get interesting when said model dances into Tansy’s life at her step-cousin’s wedding. Gemma turns out to […]
Sizzle Reel by Carlyn Greenwald
Hilariously relatable Relationships aren’t easy. Realizing you’re not straight isn’t easy. Coming out isn’t easy, falling in love isn’t easy, distinguishing between lust and love and what’s exciting because it’s new and what’s exciting in itself isn’t easy. It’s all a mess and it can be scary and exhausting but damn is it worth it […]
Meeting Millie by Clare Ashton
A delightful rom-com This book started breaking my heart from the very beginning, even as it made me laugh. A quarter in, I knew it was touching something very intimate in me, about friendship and caring (or not caring) about people, about needing them (or not needing them) in one’s life. Charlotte Albright is back […]
Taking Flight by TC Parker
A funny and sweet romcom novella I really wish I enjoyed horror more than I do. Because that’s what T.C. Parker is known for and if what I’ve read by her so far, in genres that are not what she’s known for, is this good, I’m pretty sure her favoured genre is all kinds of […]
Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail (Bright Falls #2) by Ashley Herring Blake, narrated by Kristen DeMercurio
The perfect romcom to get the year started Almost a year ago, I read my first book by this author, Delilah Green Doesn’t Care, and I almost immediately knew it would make my end-of-the-year list. I was very much looking forward to the next book, Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, but for some reason, while the […]
Christmas Mouse by Rachel Spangler
A very sweet Christmas romcom Bex is a successful anesthesiologist who loves the city she lives in – New York –, Christmas, and, above all, Christmas in New York City. Her friend and colleague Howie convinces her to go with him to Vermont for Thanksgiving, where she meets his cousin Ava. Like Bex, Ava loves […]
