Yay! Glad you're liking it. I think if we redo the recommendations next round mine would go something like this:
For Trio-Something kinkier with an audiobook available (absolutely not JL and if it's John Solo make sure he does it right LOL)
For Janine-Something paranormal or fantasy with a mystery element and a strong couple.
For Caipi-A fun and witty contemporary. Although Caipi is hardest for me since she seems to bounce around the most lol. Nothing dark though.
How'd I do??
Very good amanda ..youve got it spot on , my fantasy group challenge is paranormal next month so will see a few more pop up

Hijacked by Lucy Lennox
Pages: 242
How it qualifies: read by Amanda, September 2nd, rated 4⭐
Read: October 7th
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review:
Totally enjoyed this sweet and fun book.
Yes, it is sometimes ridiculous and unrealistic. But who cares? It is fiction, written to entertain and entertained I was. My only complaint is the unnecessary wrong assuming drama around 80%. I dislike this kind of misunderstandings in storylines.

Not nearly as good as i was expecting..i did like both MCs and Jeremy was a typical 15 yr old , i just found the story dragged a bit and would have liked them to come to their realisation a bit sooner so we could see them together a bit more

Read by Amanda and rated 4 stars on 4 July 2021
Read: 5 Oct
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review: Marvelous!
I love a K.J. Charles mystery, there are always so many wonderful twists and turns. Will is fantastic, and Kim is even better... can't wait to listen to The Sugared Game. Cornell Collins was truly born to perform Charles.
Thank you Amanda, for another excellent recommendation!
I shall do the rounds later and update all mine, wether is nice so want to clean the greenhouse
I'm doing the audio version of Slippery Creatures and it's really great - I went grocery shopping and couldn't listen to it there because I didn't want to miss anything!I'll finish tomorrow for sure though.
I'm done and updating my thread to completion - Caipi have you finished?

Review:
A cute fun story!
I could have done without some gory details but overall I greatly enjoyed this book. Dalton was adorable right from the start and he got the dusty nerd Simon to break free.
Fabulously narrated by Kirt Graves!
oh I'm jealous Caipi, that's a good one!I haven't picked my book yet - but I've put my selection post below so you can link it when it's convenient for you.
Taking my kids to the zoo (yes, they're 19 and 23 lol). My daughter is having surgery on Monday and it's something she can do that's outside. Plus it's gorgeous here today :).

Review: (TBH I'm SO done with Mary Calmes).
