The Honeymoon Crashers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Honeymoon Crashers by Christina Lauren 


G👀dreads

Ami is determined to break the Torres family wedding curse. Her own disaster of a reception ended with all the guests getting food poisoning, and she left her cheating husband soon after. But even though she’s still processing her own divorce, Ami won’t let her twin sister Olive’s day be anything but perfect. Olive may think she wants a private ceremony in Maui, where she and her fiancé Ethan first fell in love, but Ami knows better and secretly flies the whole Torres family out to surprise the couple. Now she and her meticulously organized binder have less than two weeks to get everything together for the big day, thousands of miles from home.

Enter Brody, Ethan’s best man, who happens to be living in Maui and insists on helping with the preparations. His playfully elaborate schemes and happy-go-lucky attitude are the last thing Ami needs. When sparks start to fly, could it derail all her carefully laid plans?

Equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy, this full-cast production is your ticket to the ultimate destination wedding, bringing to life both a captivating couple and an unforgettable family.

Genre: Fiction, RomCom, Contemporary Romance, Chick Lit, Novella

In the mood for something fun. The audiobook is less than five hours but if it's too corny I'll ditch it.

ACTUALLY - this is a sequel to The Unhoneymooners, however it says it can be read as a standalone.
🙋 Me, putting the cart before the horse.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

🎉 Overall Enjoyment? 🎉🎉🎉🎉

🎣 Did it grab and keep my attention? 🎣🎣🎣🎣

🗣️Would I recommend it to anyone? Yes ➕If you enjoy a cute RomCom

🕮 Would I want a sequel? No ➖ Not really, unless Cousin Diego is the main character! 

📚 Would I want to read more books by this author? Maybe 🤷

💣💥 📢TriĢƓer Warnings? None

🌶 Spice? Yes. Google says: open-door romance, low-moderate. I say open-door Ș3x. 

🌪 Plot Twist? No, except maybe Brody's career secret. 

👟 Pace? Good

💻 Tidbits ~ This was a cute story. Ami's twin sister is going to run off and get married so the wedding won't open the wounds of the wedding disaster of her sister. But Ami knows Olive would want a real wedding with her family present. What could possibly go wrong? EVERYTHING. 
Side story of Best Man Brody and his big career secret.  I don't think it was a secret that what she guessed wasn't his real career and something happened for him to be taking a break from it. (No pun intended, IYKYK.)

Favorite Character - Cousin Diego! 

I deducted one star for the insta-love. I think if it would have been a full novel and not a novella their relationship might have developed into something more believable. But it is a ROM-COM Novella so insta-love is almost guaranteed. 
Not sure it needed a dozen narrators when there are so many amazing narrators capable of multiple voice expertise. 

🎧 Jessica Marie Garcia, Harry Shum Jr., Lee Osorio, Cynthia Farrell, Deacon Lee, Adriana Sananes, Stephanie Nemeth-Parker, Ines del Castillo, Kimberly Woods, Tim Paige, Jennifer Aquino, Shaun Taylor-Corbet.

I think Harry Shum Jr is my new favorite male narrator. That's my take on insta-love! 💓

The Woman with the Cure   by Lynn Cullen  G👀dreads In 1940s and ’50s America, polio is as dreaded as the atomic bomb.

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.

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...
