Betrayal from Samantha's Shelf - 5/13/22 - *4 STARS*
Ugh, Rich people confound me! LOL, seriously, I think the saying "money can't by happiness" is so true. Alex is a trust fund baby who just graduated from Stanford. Her sights are set on Columbia Law School now but she's got one vacation to let loose before she's got to buckle down. She meets Not and they agree on a one week only, vacation fling that stretches Alex's (who is calling herself Charli on her vacation) limits.
When the week is over she doesn't expect to see Not again. But he breaks the rules and puts her number in her phone. She doesn't expect to ever use it but after her family tells her that her trust fund is now empty, she finds herself in New York without any money.
Her cousin tells her about a service called Infidelity that paired him with his lover, Cyrus. And pairs high profile employees with even higher profile clients. The only catch is that you have to been with the client for a year. Down on her luck Alex agrees to sign with Infidelity but she has no idea what she's done.
This was not as light as some of Aleatha Romig's latest works have been but not nearly as dark as some as the earlier stuff. But, I think this first book is just the tip of the iceberg. I knew what was going to happen but didn't know exactly how it was going to play out.
The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I'll have to continue to see what happens next that is for sure. I appreciated what Alex was going through. It sucks that the rich people familial obligations were put before her happiness but we see it time and again. I'm hoping that Nox gives her a way out.
Must Love Hockey from Tina's Shelf - 5/28/22 - *4 STARS*
I thought this was adorable! Jimbo was such a sweetheart. I felt for Emily because she was in a tough situation but I'm so glad she did what she wanted as opposed to what was expected! I'm just sorry, I don't know how anyone could have resisted Jimbo.
Anyway, I originally read this as a part of Sarina Bowen's newsletter but the audio was fantastic and just really brought the story to life.
Seduction Game from Jonetta's shelf - 4/30/22 *4 STARS*
This was so good! I loved Holly and no idea that she had so much underneath the surface Silly me. Loved the way that all that came out. Loved that she had someone who was willing to see past what she decided to show. And even though their love story wasn't easy (when has it been for the I-team crew), I was so happy that it all worked out.
Nick's mother was pretty funny. I hated Holly's parents! But her dad took the cake.
It's amazing to see how far the crew has come. I can't believe I'm almost to end of this series.

You didn't misunderstand. I have Lover Revealed on my read list, so that would count for you.

I read Lover Revealed, Hopeless, Losing Hope and now I’m listening to Lover Unbound.
So that’s 4/2?✅

How did you like Lover Revealed?

Lover Revealed-4
Hopeless-5 (favorite of the year. It beat out Will Smith’s book, which I listened to before the slap and I found it very entertaining)
Losing Hope-5
Lover Unbound- 2.5 that I rounded up to 3. So disappointed in this book!

This challenge will help you reduce your TBR shelf and get to know some of our members better.
Here’s how it works
1. Each month we will randomly select a member to be our group focus.
2. The challenge will be to listen to at least two books from her/his shelf that are rated at least 4 stars and is on your TBR shelf (re-listens are acceptable).
3. Use the Goodreads compare tool to filter the ratings from high to low to make your selections easier. Change the shelves to “to-read” for you and “read” for her/him for best results.
4. The challenge will be from May 1 - May 31, 2022
Our May Listener of the Month is Sassafrass. Check out her shelf and don’t forget to use the compare tool.
The person of the month may choose two books from the shelves of any of the members participating in this challenge. This is optional.
