Oooh, I love this...new to this group, but y'all rock for this very cool challenge! I know this challenge is open to all genres, but keeping it reals, just romance + 2-3 titles that stood out to me as a solid love stories (though not categorized as romance by others) audiobooks I've read so far in 2025. :D A lot of hockey MMCs and the entire 6 book "Shatter Me" series.
