All's Well that Friends Well

Title: All's Well That Friends Well

Series: Lucky in Love #2

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell     

Narrators: Ellen Quay & Eric Fox

Publisher: Independently Published, Audible Audio

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

All's Well that Friends Well is the second book in the Lucky in Love series. This series is about a sibling group, and while I will always recommend reading them in order, this one could be read as a standalone. The first book is about Indie, and this one is about Juliette, and they have two other siblings, Aurora and Silas.

My Review:

The Double Play by Annah Conwell is the fourth book in the More Than A Game series.It can be read as a standalone novel; however, I highly recommend reading the series in order to appreciate the story best. The main characters in this book are Emmett and Hazel. Emmett has been in the previous books, and I was looking forward to getting this grump's story, spoiler alert, it did not disappoint. Also, I enjoyed the narration by Charlotte North and Tim Paige.

My Review:

The Shippers are back in Hearts Aweigh and are up to more matchmaking shenanigans. While this book can be read independently, I recommend reading Love Overboard first. This is where we are first introduced to the Shippers.

A Twist of Faith

Title: A Twist of Faith

Series: Mitchell's Crossroads #1

Author: Pepper Basham

Publisher: Woven Words

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

A Twist of Faith is the first book in Pepper Basham's Mitchell's Crossroads series. This is my second time reading this book, and it was just as enjoyable the second time around.  I highly recommend reading the series in order, as it follows the Mitchell siblings, and you will get slight spoilers by reading it out of order.

Title: Just a Kiss

Series: Summer Harbor #3

Author: Denise Hunter 

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Just a Kiss is the third book in the Summer Harbor series. The series follows three brothers, but this story can also easily stand alone, although you might get some spoilers from the first two stories.
