The Cromwell Rules *DNF*

The Cromwell Rules by Ania Ray *DNF*

This one was an A.R.T. = Audiobook Review Team pick. I follow Narrator Tiffany Vanlandingham on IG. I have joined her Audiobook Review Team.
She's requesting at least one review on social media platforms either Audible or IG (or Threads but I don't do Threads). 

This is the first book assigned to me.

Lily Cromwell already knows the best way to prevent a life of tears and unnecessary heartache: be the player. She’s cool. Calm. Collected. At 27, she’s a New York City socialite and a software engineer on the brink of a promotion. Trained by her mother’s ten-commandment “Cromwell Rules,” Lily has learned how to play the social game so that she always ends up on top. But when she meets Logan, she’s thrown off. He doesn’t realize there are certain rules he should follow and, frankly, that’s attractive. Nicholas, on the other hand, is just what her mother Anne would want. Can Lily be the daughter Anne’s always wanted her to be and have the type of husband she was taught to stay away from? Will Lily be brave enough to rewrite the Rules?

Genre: Fiction

Oh boy. I got through as much as I could. I sent this message to Tiffany's assistant who sends out the assignments:

"I'm really struggling to get through this book. Tiffany's narration is the only thing keeping me at it or I wound have ditched it by now. I find it flat and juvenile. Girl grows up with rules, wants to color outside the lines, doesn't want to disappoint Mommy.
I know it has great reviews on Goodreads so apparently it's just not for me.
Do you still want me to review it?"

She wrote back and said if I'm not vibing with it to go ahead and DNF. She'll send me another assignment.
You don't have to tell me twice. I kicked it to the curb lickity split.

When I had signed up they asked what genres you like. Then they had a list of about 20 titles and asked to pick three. Apparently I clicked on this one so that's why I got it.

She said The Siren's Cursed Kiss is being released (next day) and that one was also on my list so she can send me that one. I seriously don't remember what books I checked on her list but this one sounds more up my alley.

But instead, they are surprised to find themselves sharing their charming riverside inn with a rowdy bushcraft bachelor party.

But as the weekend unfolds, old mistakes and buried resentments begin to surface, threatening to destroy Maggie and Piper’s cherished connection. In knitting, one can easily fix mistakes by picking apart each stitch and starting anew. But life’s tangles aren’t so easily mended. With tensions rising and the retreat coming to a close, Maggie ...

The Woman with the Cure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Woman with the Cure   by Lynn Cullen  G👀dreads In 1940s and ’50s America, polio is as dreaded as the atomic bomb. No one’s life is untouched by this disease that kills or paralyzes its victims, particularly children. Outbreaks of the virus across the country regularly put American cities in lockdown. Some of the world’s best minds are engaged in the race to find a vaccine. The man who succeeds will be a God. But Dorothy Horstmann is not focused on beating her colleagues to the vaccine. She just wants the world to have a cure. Applying the same determination that lifted her from a humble background as the daughter of immigrants, to becoming a doctor – often the only woman in the room-she hunts down the monster where it lurks: in the blood. This discovery of hers, and an error by a competitor, catapults her closest colleague to a lead in the race.

The Siren's Cursed Kiss ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Siren's Cursed Kiss by Kat Kinney  A.R.T. =  Tiffany Vanlandingham's  Audiobook Review Team pick. I received this audiobook as member of her ART in exchange for an honest review. G👀dreads EVERWOOD FALLS… a small supernatural community tucked up in the Colorado Rockies where witches, werewolves and vampires can live without fear of discovery, and those with curses they can’t control are sent to keep the existence of magic from being revealed to Mundanes. Green witch Sage Summers is no stranger to curses. The night her power manifested, the park outside her apartment devoured a strip mall. Classified by the Magic High Council as too dangerous to live in the Mundane world, she’s made a life for herself in Everwood Falls with her organic produce, a weekly stand at the farmer’s market, and the best group of friends a witch could ever hope for. But isolation has also meant the loss of her family, as well as an ex-fiancé who decided to put her and Everwood Falls in his rear...
