My Thoughts: I always love diving into a Jill Shalvis romance because I know I’m going to love it! Accidentally on Purpose was no different! I was swept up into Elle and Archer’s story. Elle is a very independent woman who knows how to take care of herself and works hard to succeed at her job and school. She knows exactly what she needs to do to build a good life for herself because she certainly hadn’t had a great start […]
Why Did I Read? This was pitched to me as “Gossip Girls with a mystery”. I was in! I really loved Gossip Girls back in the day! My Thoughts: I was totally sucked into this book right off the bat. It opens with Madison Brooks, the hottest celeb in town, getting taken.

So… maybe I wouldn’t have disliked this book as much if it weren’t for the narrator? Perhaps. But […]
The Sound: I really enjoyed the narrator for this one! I think it helped set up just the right atmosphere for the book because her voice of Grace seemed spot on to me. She really brought to life all the secondary characters. I think my enjoyment level would definitely have taken a dive if I had read and not listened to it on audio. The Story: That being said, while I enjoyed the audio narration, the story was a little […]
