This was fantastic. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t stop listening. I was hooked from the first minute! The narration was wonderful. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this audiobook.

I loved all the smaller novellas as they called them. I loved sully and Helen and Mr jones. I was so happy when Mr jones was found when sully and Helen went to get sullys boat. Karen made this such a easy listen because I felt like I was truly part of the book, and would love this to be turned into a tv series.

Thank you to NetGalley, DreamScape Select and Karen Grey for the chance to listen to this series in exchange for my honest review.

All three stories were really quite good. However, I was completely thrown by some out of pocket language/vernacular.
For example:
-Referring to the clitoris as a "butterbean"... (repeatedly, but only in internal dialogue..)
-Hero states "Your luscious bod on my rod..."
-"Any guy that wants bare down there is basically a pedophile..."
-I've got the Niagara Falls of juices going.

I know this series takes place in the late 90s. I am familiar with the tongue of the 90s as an elder millennial. But these phrases were so out of pocket that it threw me out of the whole collection.

Narration was well done by the cast. The added audio/sounds at the beginning of each chapter were a little jarring/startling and not exactly needed.

A 2 book and 1 novella Audiobook that has a retro feel to it.
Having a full cast of narrators was a nice change and they did a fantastic job moving the stories along.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this audiobook.

It’s romcom time. Carolina Heat is filled with some good ones. This is the perfect listen for Valentine’s Day.

I enjoyed this box set. I received the advanced listener’s copy of the audiobook and found that the narrators did a great job. It felt nostalgic with the retro vibes. I will definitely continue the series some time in the future!

Thank you NetGalley, Dreamscape Select, Home Cooked Books and Karen Grey for the ALC.

Any guy that wants bare down there is basically a pedophile...

and I'm done. Can I give it less than one star? No, well darn.

A compilation of stories that follow a group of friends over a few post collegiate years. It includes a novella in which we meet the group and get to know who they are Then there are two novels about what is next for them together and or apart while navigating their careers, love lives, friendships and all that goes along with adulting in a small town that is considered the Hollywood of the south. Well narrated nicely written stories. So much of the storylines were so timely even though they took place in the ’90’s and then they’d reference an answering machine, landlines and beepers and it would make me laugh. An easy, nice listen. Also, a little bit sad that though we are now in 2025, it seems that women are still fighting the same old fights that they are today, Hmmm.
