AUDIOBOOK Review - Hate To Love You

Image
Mason is asked by a close friend to help plan the wedding.  Only there is a catch.  He must work with his secret crush and basically a frenemy, Liam.  He agrees - since their mutual friend is important to both of them.  They agree to try. Liam has been in love with Drew forever.  Planning his wedding was never in the plans he saw for their future.  Then he starts to work with Mason.  He finds that he understands him better the more he gets to know him. This was an amazing read.  They start off with incredible banter and the best laid plans..... per usual, the end is vastly different.  I found many points were quite compelling and profound.  The narration was amazing - the different voices were obvious and very nice.  I love the sounds of the voices.  This was one of the best I have heard in a while.  I give this an overall score of 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest revie...

Toby finds himself attracted to the groom who comes with his latest bride.  Embarrassed and ashamed, he tried to distract and amaze.  Then he finds out, it is not the groom! Hunter is completely head over heels for the good looking wedding planner.  He seems like a snob, but the feelings are definitely there.  What if they talk frankly? Such a great story with characters who have depth and sexiness.  I find myself sucked in pretty quickly.  I love the banter and the heat.  I really am excited for these two to get together. The narrator does a great job with the voices.  I love that I can hear the emotion being brought to life.  I am so thrilled I got to hear the story, and enjoy it more fully.  The voices were great and the story really came to life.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This audiobook was given in exchange for an honest review.

Henry AKA "Hank" just wants to be a normal guy for the weekend.  Just wants to enjoy hanging with his college friends without the paparazzi following him around.  Then he meets this amazing woman he wants to spend time with.   I loved this story from the start.  The banter wasn't the only thing zinging all over.  The heat in this book was seriously turned up!  Had a steady pace and characters that were so much fun to read.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest ...

This is probably what I would consider  The Boy Friend #1.5 .  This should not be meant to be a standalone read.  It takes place following  The Boy Friend .  I recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers. Coriander AKA "Cori" is going to finally marry Dean.  We leave off 6 months after the last book ended, with this couple so happy together officially.  Cori just has secrets she is afraid to approach with Dean. Dean has so much love for his bride to be.  All he wishes is that she would communicate with him so they can solve what is wrong.  He knows he will do anything for his dear Cori. This is such a sweet, if short jaunt back into the lives of our favorite couple.  Trying to keep their bliss, they encounter some rough spots on the way to matrimony.  Worth the simple and hot read.  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

This book felt a little whiny.  I loved the characters.  I enjoyed the humor, heat, and pace of the story.  I was just very frustrated that the characters let so many things come before the love they supposedly have for one another.  Just my opinion.  I enjoyed the book overall.  I give this story a 3/5 ...
