Not the MCs. Loth and Quinn make an appearance and I think there’s a red headed side character but that’s it

Absolutely adorable, utterly charming, and what a quaint and clever mystery! I know all my GR mystery loving friends have been urging me to dive into this series for ages, what's taken me so long? Who knows. But now I know I'm on a roll and have no plans to stop any time soon!
Audio by Phil Mayes who does a lovely job. He really captures the youth and inexperience in the tentative back and forth between these 'friends'. Very, very sweet.

Review:
Okay, this is a strange series. The books seem like they stand alone, but now I'm not sure it's intended that way. There is a cliffhanger at the end, but that didn't hurt the story.
My big problem with this one is how Aaron is clearly not ready for an intimate relationships and Zach just keeps pushing and pushing till he gets what he wants.
The double shocker ending comes out of nowhere and made me even more unhappy with Zach... strangely though, I feel the need to know how Jamie Lake is going to resolve this one. Unfortunately I can't figure this damn series out and have no idea where to even find the rest of Aaron and Zach's story!
Janeylou and Amanda, you guys are both reading two books for our eight?Let me know if you want me to do another one.
Im quite happy to do 3 if needed..nearly finished my 2 books
Ill probably only get the two done. I haven’t started yet as we’re heavy in move mode (but I will get these two done by sometime tomorrow and will let you all know if I can do one more!)
Well ill pick a short one for bk 3 and then could prob do bk 4 if i pick another short ....got another lazy day tomorrow ...Making the most of them before my daughter has the baby 😄😄

This time I listened to this charming story and I really enjoyed it again. I still think it's too sweet and fluffy to be realistic but who cares, right?

It's totally a love hate thing! Thank you, but also lets all work with headphones on LOL
Amanda wrote: "Posted in the Q and A thread! Tomorrow is the only other day I'll be mostly offline, so I will be more help with the next task, promise!"We seem to have had quite a lot of tasks where we need to read lots of books ...I've not really looked at what other teams have had , so presuming its just luck of the draw..🤞🤞 for a 4 bk task next
Be careful what you wish for... 🧐Here is Task 21:
80. Read 4 books initially published in different decades.
Because I'm nice, we will say decades start with 0 instead of ending there. (So 2020 is in the decade of the 20s.) Use the initial publication date for your selected books. If there is one listed on the editions page use it, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition.
okay y'all - I believe this is what we picked:💚80. Read 4 books initially published in different decades.
1990 Janeylou
2000 Trio
2010 Caipi
2020 Amanda
and yeah Janeylou - I don't remember last years challenge having so many read 8 or read 6, so I really thank you ladies for stepping up and doing 2 and 3 books so often!
If that's the case, I think I'm going with The Low Road 1st edition 2009. Although I've been waiting for ages for the chance to listen to Murder In Pastel 2007. I guess I'll pick tomorrow.
We did just have this task two tasks ago, Trio since you did it last year we’re there repeats of tasks? I asked in the Q&A thread if it was a mistake
Im not sure wether Kat pops on when she doesnt post tasks ..so im going to go ahead and read a book for 1990 just in case ..wont post till later thoughI'll read the next Stan the Hairdresser book 😄
Perfect, thanks Janine! I think MKat is asleep now and I don't want to wait the whole Sunday for an alternative task. I'm going to take the 2010s again then. Maybe I'll find a fitting Redheads book for Bingo I'm interested in. 👍🏻🙂
Hey, just thought would let know this happened last round and was a mistake, did receive a new task to replace it. Theres so many tasks on list and not, so shouldn't need to do the same task twice 😊
Thanks laura...im hoping if she not on tonight though and we reading a book that qualifies, she'll let us carry on
Janeylou wrote: "Thanks laura...im hoping if she not on tonight though and we reading a book that qualifies, she'll let us carry on"Oh yeah of course if you all decide to read for the task again and get done by then, im sure she will allow to just continue/receive new task so you don't have to wait xx

Alone For Christmas by Ashley JohnPages: 165
How it qualifies: published November 20th 2016 and my decade is the 2010s.
Read: 25th October
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
Review:
I would have preferred to not only get Noah's POV but Chip's as well. And I definitely could have done without the silly misunderstanding near the end. This was in my opinion an unnecessary drama that took away the feel good spirit of this story. Besides that I enjoyed this sweet "snowed in with the boss" Christmas story.
