I started listening to this book on Hoopla, but it was returned, and I couldn't check it out again. The narrators were fine. I ended up checking the book out from Kindle Unlimited to finish it.

Planning for Nickie

Author: Tasha Hackett

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance,

My Review:

Planning for Nickie is the second in the Holidays in Hadley Springs series by Tasha Hackett. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading Waiting for Gilbert first.

I have finished this book for the second time and I loved it just as much as the first time I read it last year!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Original review below:

Waiting for Gilbert is the first book I have read by Tasha Hackett, but it will not be the last. I was in the middle of reading this book when I knew I would want to reread it. I am not a huge re-reader, but I want a physical copy for my keeper shelf!

My Review:

While this is the second book in the Just a Guy with a Goal series, it can easily be read as a standalone novel.

Single All the Way

Title: Single All the Way

Series: Sweet as Sugar Maple 

Author: Kate Watson

Narrators: Stephanie Rose and Gregory Salinas

Publisher: Audible Audio

Genre: Christmas, Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

I thought I had this book pegged by the little bit of the description I had read. I thought it was going to be insta-love and a bit obnoxious. I had totally missed that it was a billionaire romance, or I might have skipped it. However, I am so glad I missed that detail because I loved this story!!

Faking Christmas

Title: Faking Christmas

Series: Christmas Escape #3

Author: Cindy Steel

Narrator: Justis Bolding

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Faking Christmas is technically a part of the Christmas Escape series, but each book stands alone. Overall, I enjoyed Justis Bolding's narration. I didn't like her voice for Chloe, Olive's sister, I felt like it was too manly.

Wishing for Mistletoe

Title: Wishing For Mistletoe

Series: Love on Sanctuary Shores

Author: Robin Lee Hatcher

Publisher: RobinSong, Inc.

Genre: Christmas, Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

My Review:

While Wishing for Mistletoe is part of a series, each novel is standalone, written by different authors, and set on the same island.

Five Stolen Rings

Title: Five Stolen Rings

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell

Narrators: Rylee Kuberra & John Rogers

Publisher: Audible Audio

Genre: Christmas RomCom, Contemporary Romance,

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Five Stolen Rings was a lot of fun. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook, even though I really didn't like the male narrator's narration. I felt like he came across harshly all the time and he didn't do the female voices very well. The female narrator did a fantastic job.

The Wild Card

Author: Emma St. Clair

My Review:

While The Wild Card could read as a standalone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading The Buy-In, The Bluff, and The Pocket Pair first. I love this series, and it is one you will want to start at the beginning. I reread the entire series before starting this one, and I am glad I did. There were things I had forgotten.

My review:

Curveball on the Dance Floor is the second book in the series. I have not read the first one yet, but I wish I had. While this can easily read as a standalone novel, I do feel like I missed a few details, like why Carmen (one of Chris's sisters) is in Germany.

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

 Title: Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

Series: Oakley Island #3.5

Author: Emma St. Clair & Jenny Proctor 

Publisher: Independently Published 

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, RomCom, Christmas

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love is a quick visit back to the characters of Oakley Island. It's labeled as a Christmas romance, but very little of the story has to do with Christmas. It's a fun second-generation story.
