[Anita]

Great list. We have several of the same books this month. Have a great reading month.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Anita! I may have bitten off a bit much this month...

[Laura]

Wow! What an awesome list. Where to start. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

[Jonetta]

Thank you, Laura! Merry Christmas to you, too.

[Viki]

Great list of books again. Can’t wait to see what you read this month.

[Jonetta]

Thank you, Viki!

[Michelle]

Wow. Jonetta. You are spoilt for choice. Enjoy whatever and however many you do read.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Michelle. I feel confident I will!

[Lauren]

Great list! I will be adding to my own as a result :)

Do you recommend to read the rest of the series before this book?
I saw the audio on NetGalley but I haven't read any of the other books.

[Jonetta]

Lieke, this isn't a series to read out of order and especially this book. Regardless of it being 10 hours, this is considered to be a novella for this series (most of the time, the books are about 17 hours long). The main couple has an extensive history that spans over several earlier books. And, the series has a history of continuing story arcs that begin and end over several books.

You'd be lost with this, IMO.

[Lieke]

Thanks, I was afraid it was that way but wanted to be sure. Maybe someday I will read this series... :)

[Jonetta]

Lieke, you’ll know from the first book whether it’s something you’d like.
