Brady & Lily (28) meet on a flight and can't keep their eyes off of each other. After a night of mind blowing loving she's the one sneaking out in the early hours, which is something that has never happened to Brady. Their story continues 6 months later when they see each other again on another flight.
Lily has a backstory that's slowly revealed. While I can feel for what she's been through I didn't feel fully gripped with that part of the story.
I always know what to expect with the MMC's with this author. They're always dominant, alphas and self proclaimed bachelors that never want to be tied down until they're taken by surprise by a special lady and then they're mush for her. Brady would do anything to protect her and that he does. I gotta say I was a bit surprised about something big he did, it was pretty dark and unexpected.
Overall, their chemistry is great and I love not having a 3rd act breakup. Not my favorite of the series, but a fine installment to it.
Series notes: This one would be fine as a standalone. I felt like some of Dalton's from The Dalton Family series popped in more than the Spade brothers did.
Narration notes: Seems like Tor has not worked on his lady voice. It'd be great if he only ever had to do male parts because he does a super job with those. I cringe every time it's sexy scene time with him. Ava did great all around.

Listen there is a similarity with Marni's books, yet each character is still unique. Fast burn and full of steamage is guaranteed. They typically meet in a bar, too. You can count on a H that has gotten around town and then some, but has finally found someone to change his ways, is cocky and knows how to hit it and never wanna quit it. The h's are always strong and independent.
Here we have Cooper (29) & Rowan (29) who find themselves snowed in with all flights delayed for days, and only one bed available...whatever will they do?
Just when I think I have enough book boyfriends another is added to the list. This guy is so sweet and attentive, and protective. And when he got some unexpected news his response was absolutely perfect. Ford Dalton from The Single Dad is still my favorite, but Cooper comes in at a close second.
Rowan knows what she wants and isn't afraid to speak up, even when she gets the cold shoulder.
Overall, lovedy love loved. The epilogue just might bring a tear to your eye.
Series notes This series follows brothers in business together, so you might as well read the 1st one 1st so that you know what's up with the family. Then you'll be ready for Brady's story coming out in June 2024. This is also a spin-off of The Daltons series and some of those characters are involved here. I suppose it's not absolutely necessary to read those first, but they're quite enjoyable, so why not?
Narration notes: Both narrators did great. Their opposite voices weren't bad.

Gabriella & Damien meet again on a plane after not seeing each other for 2 years. There's still a connection there and these two do not lack any chemistry that's for sure. It's fast burn practically right out of the gates.
They have to work together, but they can't deny their passion and keep their hands off each other.
Overall, fast paced that leaves off on an intriguing cliffhanger.
I just noticed there is a prequel Falling Again, so now I'm mad I didn't read that one first.
4.25⭐ Genre ~ contemporary romance Series ~ Beck Sisters #3 Others in the seriesFloat Plan, The Suite Spot Setting ~ Ireland Publication date ~ March 7, 24.25⭐ Genre ~ contemporary romance Series ~ Beck Sisters #3 Others in the seriesFloat Plan, The Suite Spot Setting ~ Ireland Publication date ~ March 7, 2023 Page Count ~ 266 (24 chapters) Audio length ~ 6 hours 37 minutes Narrator ~ Sarah Naughton POV ~ single 1st Featuring ~ parent with dementia, insta~ish love, fast burn, YOLO, some steamge
Carla & Eamon Carla is living life to the fullest. She's always on the go traveling all around the world. Her latest trip is to Ireland for her best friends wedding. She meets, Eamon, the best man and they immediately hit it off and head back to his place for some whatnot.
Dementia really makes me sad. Luckily it has not affected my family, so I don't really know much about it, but I felt the author did a good job bringing realism to it. The flashbacks of the father/daughter relationship were heartwarming. I like that he taught her all the ins and outs of vehicle maintenance and repair.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. There was a bit more steamage in this one then in the previous books ~ I'm not sure what's up with that, but I didn't hate it. It was cute, fun and the epitome of YOLO.
Series notes: This is part of the series because Anna and Keane from Float Plan are getting married. Carla is the best friend/maid of honor and Eamon is the brother/best man. Fine as a standalone, unless you'd like to meet Anna and Keane first.
Narration notes: Well done again. She's narrated the whole series.

Steamage in chapter 1 alert!
Couples Jess & Rafferty & Cali & Rob have quite a steamy romp in the park one afternoon thinking they'll never see each other again. Weeks later they realize they are next door neighbors...awkward, but wait...2 of these characters share a secret that could cost them everything.
Jess and Rafferty haven't been together long, but recently moved in together. Cali and Rob have been married for nearly a decade with two children. The children don't play a big part in the story and are really just in the background, which I was happy with since I'm not a super big fan when they're in my romance novels. Rob was my favorite character, he was really a sweet guy and I felt so bad for him. Jess was really sweet too. Cali, on the other hand, not so sweet and pretty awful at times. We get 2 added POV's from Jess's boss, Jackson and Cali's friend, Megan which was a nice addition to the story.
I found this debut to be very well written and fast paced. There was a nice little twist that put a little zing on things. The ending was so crazy and unexpected and leaves off on a cliffhanger. I wasn't aware this was going to be a series, but if it really is then I can't wait to see what happens next for these characters.
