A romantic, funny and feel-good story
Review of Always Alex by Robin Alexander, Audiobook narrated by Lori Prince I’m so happy that Robin Alexander is releasing her back catalogue in audio and even happier that most of them are narrated by Lori Prince.

A beautiful slow-burn romance audiobook
Review of Behind the Pine Curtain by Gerri Hill, Audiobook narrated by Abby Craden Gerri Hill is slowly releasing all the back catalog on audiobook and has very cleverly chosen Abby Craden as the narrator.

Another wonderful lesbian romance by the author of ‘Those Who Wait’
Review for ‘When You Least Expect It’ by Haley Cass If you’re like me, you’ll be delighted to know that what was supposed to be a Christmas novella isn’t.
