More around a 3.5/3.75

I am flying through these audiobooks. This book is also told over several years. There is a lot that happens as it has been 8 years at one point from the wedding.

This one focused much more on Lake and Manning. It is also much steamier than the other books. I still want to see a little more connection between Manning and Lake and not just the attraction between the two. We get a glimpse into this more so towards the end of this book where we start to really see a connection and not just sexual tension.

I am curious to see how this will all wrap up in the end. On to the last book.

Somebody Else's Sky by Jessica Hawkins

Somebody Else's Sky by Jessica Hawkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am flying through these audiobooks. I really enjoyed book one and was excited to jump into book two. This one focused much more on Tiffany and Manning. Lake finally turns 18 at the end of this book, so I am hoping for more of Lake and Manning in the next book.

Tiffany was still unlikable in this one and I wanted her to go away! I was actually mad at Manning for taking things so far with her. I do not like her, but I also feel bad that he continues to move things along with her knowing his feelings for her sister.

This was pretty predictable on what happened in the end, but I still enjoyed it. On to the next…

Something in the Way by Jessica Hawkins

Something in the Way by Jessica Hawkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have had this audiobook sitting on my library for a few years. I decided to finally give it a go. When I first started this, I was not loving it. Lake was so immature for her age. She acted less younger than 16 years old and was very oblivious to everyday life. However; I am so glad I pushed through those first moments, as I ended up flying through this in one sitting.

I ended up really loving the story between Lake and Manning. Be mindful this is an age gap romance that does involving a 16 year old and a 23 year old. This did take a turn towards the end that I was not expecting. It kind of came out of nowhere and made the whole story have a different tone. It is not what you would think either.

This ends with a cliff hanger and I need to jump into book two ASAP.

Truths I Never Told You by Kelly Rimmer

Truths I Never Told You by Kelly Rimmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Kelly Rimmer and the emotion she brings to all of her stories. This was no exception. This does deal with some heavy topics so be mindful of that before jumping into this one.

This one broke my heart. It is told in two perspectives and two different time periods. I actually enjoyed both connected stories. I was emotionally connected to both and each brought tears for their own reasons.

I do feel this dragged a little too long at times. However; I still really enjoyed it.

The Mixtape by Brittainy C. Cherry

The Mixtape by Brittainy C. Cherry
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I love Brittainy C. Cherry and was very excited to get this a month early through Amazon. This one had a really great start. I actually loved initially starting with each character and learning about them before the romance started. However; this went on for far too long. We really did not have any romance until around 50% into the story. We still only had a few conversations between the two.
I did like getting to know Emery and teared up when everything initially happened. It was predictable what Oliver was going to do, but it still was touching.

I also loved Abigail but I did not need full chapters around therapy. There was too much individual story line and not enough chemistry building. I just wanted more. The pacing was very slow and I found myself pretty bored in the middle of this and skipped to the end.

Wilder by Rebecca Yarros

Wilder by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had mixed things about this one, but I love Rebecca Yarros and want to read all her back list books. I actually really loved this one.

This is much different compared to most recent releases. This does not follow a military family/love interest. It is also much steamier than any of the previous books I have read from her. You can easily skim those sections like I do if that is not your thing.

I loved Wilder though. I loved both back stories around the couple and flew through this one. There was a slight mystery to also keep your attention.

I am so excited to read the next book to find out what happens with another couple in this book.
