My Review:
{Insta} Family
The Insta series is one that is best read in order. It should also be read before The Bailey Brother's series, as that is a spin-off series to this one. However, ALL books in both series should be read 😁.

My Review:
This is a great romance story. Not that everything was perfect, but I loved the build up for Haley and Levi. While I have seen some hyper critical reviews, this one checked the boxes for me.

My Review:
The Designated Friend is the first book I have read by Drew Taylor, but it won't be my last.

My Review:
I loved how the author did the first part of the book. It started with flashbacks to when Ben and Brooke met, and then several interactions they had leading up to their present day friendship.
Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #1
Author: Dulcie Dameron

My Review:
So, I had to go back and read the first book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, since I had already read the second one. They are better read in order, but can be read as stand alone novels. I am looking forward to reading the third book when it comes out.
Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #2

My Review:
I did know that Spoke Too Soon was part of a series when I started reading it. It is the second book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, but they don't necessarily need to be read in order, although our two main characters meet at the end of the first book.

My Review:
I saved Insta Kiss to read around Christmas, but I could have
easily read it right after reading the second book. Although it is set
around Christmas, it's not essential to read it during the holiday
season. Additionally, it can be easily read as a standalone.

My Review:
While An Unconventional Christmas Love Story is part of a series, it easily reads as a standalone novel (I have not read any of the others in the series).

Genre: Christmas, Contemporary Romance, RomCom

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!!

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.

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.
