Liezel’s Thoughts:
The story is about female soccer player Salomi Casillas who idol worshiped soccer king Reiner Kulti growing up. Her teenage heart vowed to one day marry this man. Although her infatuation was crushed after a debilitating incident involving an important person in her life – her brother.
Fast forward into present time, Sal is now a professional soccer player well known for her talent, skill, and this immense dedication to the sport. She was doing …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I read this book years ago…four years to be exact. At the time, I jumped right into the series without reading the first two books. This is why I didn’t appreciate the story as much as I should have. Sure it could be read as a standalone, but reading the stories in succession made it even better. Each book pulls the previous stories together perfectly.
“While It Lasts” is about Cage York whom we’ve met …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I can’t tell you enough how deep I’ve fallen in love with Audrey Carlan’s characters. Even more so in this first installment in the Lotus House Series. Once you meet Genevieve Harper I guarantee you will agree with me that she is a character that would be difficult to top because this woman is incredible.
Genevieve becomes the sole provider to her two younger siblings after losing her parents in a fatal accident. She selflessly …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
Okay. I admit I was completely wrong about this series. I said in my first review that this was way too similar to Fifty Shades… but MY! Oh, My, “Mind” and “Soul” proved my statement wrong. It might have originally started off with an alpha male billionaire falling for an unsuspected woman but the series is so much more.
“Mind” was definitely the turning point. This is when we are offloaded with numerous twists and …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
This is one of the many cliffhangers I planned to revisit last year but never got to. As soon as I saw it was on audio and it was narrated by Sebastian York I couldn’t pass the chance to download and see what happened with Jasper and Charlotte.
Needless to say, don’t attempt to read this book unless you’ve read Book 1: Set The Pace. It was a fast and easy read and in my …

Liezel’s Thoughts:
Who would have thought that digging up ones a$$ (in public) would be a way to find a man? Somehow this technique worked wonders for Kat Berger. Pure ridiculousness, right? This entire incident certainly set the tone for the entire book. It was hilarious.
What made it even better was listening to it on audio. I am one of those crazy readers that enjoys switching back and forth between the audiobook and the ebook …
Angie’s Thoughts:
I just received these today and my daughter and I have already listened to all 4 1/2 hours of audio! I love Mae Whitman and her talent shines through as she takes on the voice of Barbara or Batgirl! She transitions flawlessly between characters too. Both of us got caught up in Barbara’s world that everything ceased to exist around us. That speaks volumes for Lisa Yee’s writing.
By the time the audiobook was over …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I would not recommend reading/listening to Until You unless you’ve read Bully since Until You is somewhat of a retell of the previous book but told in Jared’s point of view. I say somewhat because it is so much more than your typical retell…It’s book one on steroids!
I always thought that Bully was great and never thought that Tate and Jared’s story could get any better BUT after listening to the second book over …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
“Rock” is about this singer/songwriter named RK who is forced to return “home” to Grand Lakes, Colorado. “Home” is normally that one place that gives you peace but it is the complete opposite for RK. At first, it is unclear how he ends up somewhere that he detests so much and I loved how JA Huss kept me speculating.
As a matter of fact, she keeps you guessing almost all throughout the entire book. Once you …
Audiobook Review by Micah, Angie, and Liezel
What did you love best about the story of The Fable of Us?
Micah: I loved a great second chance story handled well. And this is an excellent example of that. I loved the connection that Boone and Clara had, even after 7 years of separation and heartbreak. Their families only give them stress and grief, in general, and about each other.
The relationship between Boone and Clara. I loved how …
