~ Faking The Game (Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers #1)
I love the start of the new Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series! This fun, and steamy, fake relationship romance was completely addicting! Aslan Spearman only cares about work and is also one of the most eligible bachelors in San Francisco. His mother is always trying to fix him up and he hates it. When his family wants him to go to a family reunion in Hawaii, he is desperate to find a fake girlfriend so his family will leave him alone. Keaton Nealy is his VP of Operations and his right hand. He trusts her above anyone else so she is the perfect person to ask. Keaton has always had a crush on her sexy boss but loves her work and doesn't want to jeopardize her job. But her personal life is complicated as she tries to help her ailing mother and her younger sister. When Aslan finds out how deep her problems go, all he wants to do is help her. She doesn't want charity so agrees to go with him in exchange for his help, until she can pay him back. The romantic Hawaiian location makes it impossible for them to ignore the attraction and heat between them. Aslan soon realizes how much he has always cared for Keaton. But what happens in Hawaii is impossible to ignore when they get home. As Keaton pushes him away, Aslan is determined to prove to her that they are meant to be together, forever. I really loved Aslan and Keaton together. They were so perfect together with Keaton's strength, and sass, and Aslan was so kind, patient, and swoony, and their chemistry leaped right off the page! I enjoyed watching Keaton and her sister's relationship grow and evolve. I also loved the whole Spearman family who were all so loving, and supportive, and added some of the most hilarious moments!
Jason Clarke, and Mackenzie Cartwright were brilliant as Aslan and Keaton, delivering a performance that was completely addictive. They portray each character with a perfect balance between humor, heartbreaking emotion, and sizzling passion flawlessly. I was really impressed with Clarke's ability to have my heart racing one minute, then swooning the next. Cartwright was amazing at bringing out the worry that Keaton struggled with, pulling at my heartstrings. Both narrators did a great job with comedic timing, and had a wonderful range of voices and expressions that I love to get lost in and made this story even better.
I'm really excited about this new series and can't wait for more!

~ Can't Help Love (Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers #2)
I loved this hilarious, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance! This second book in the Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series took my breath away at times and then filled my heart with hope and happiness. Gatsby Spearman and Maia Ocampo were young, passionate lovers in college. Unfortunately something tragic happens that sends Gatsby home to take care of his family, breaking both their hearts. Now years later, they are successful app creators, and business owners. Maia feels betrayed by Gatsby, and is out to prove she is more successful than he is, along with getting back at him in other ways. She tries to avoid him but when Gatsby final gets past her walls, he is determined to win back the only woman he has ever loved. Will they be able to move past all the hurt, pain and betrayal between them, or will the love they thought was long buried win out in the end? Even tho I was frustrated with them at times, I loved Gatsby and Maia's journey from their difficult pasts, to learning to forgive, trust, and build a forever love together. Burgoa's storytelling is beautiful, with fascinating characters that make me laugh out loud at times, cry, and swoon. I'm loving getting to know this part of the Spearman family, along with their sibling banter, fights, and unconditional love and support. It is also fun to have surprise appearances from characters from previous stories! Gatsby and Maia's second chance romance is a bumpy ride but so worth all the feels. I can't wait to learn more about the rest of the Spearman family.
Sebastian York, and Stephanie Németh-Parker are pure magic as Gatsby and Maia. They recreate the fun and passionate chemistry beautifully. York, has an easy way of pulling you into his story telling. His inflections, pauses and voice changes are so effortless. I also enjoyed Németh-Parker's accent and her lyrical voice was so easy to listen to. They made this heartwarming, irresistible, and sizzling romance even better!

~ Along Came You (Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers #3)
I’m in love with Elliot McPhee! I first met him in book #3 of the Everhart Brothers series, and love how Burgoa redeemed him to me. But I also love Fern Spearman, and all of her broken pieces. Fern is a smart, strong woman who has been taking care of her family like a mother, and never allowing anyone to take care of her. Elliot has been traveling and keeping away from attachments after his failed marriage and the tragic loss of some family members. He blames himself, and doesn't think he is worthy of happiness or love. Elliot is drawn to Fern from their first meeting, and wants to help her and take care of her, not understanding why. He always says he is moving on, and doesn't want to be tied down by a relationship, or kids. But what happens when those statements come back to haunt him? When he discovers what he really wants is Fern, and to have a family with her? Can he convince her that he is in love with her, and that she can trust him to be everything she needs, forever and beyond? I loved Elliot and Fern together. They were both passionate about serving others, and they both loved their families and all the complications that came with them. I especially thought Elliot was so swoony, and romantic in the way he pursues, and protects Fern.
I was captivated by Connor Crais, and Stephanie Németh-Parker's narration. They did an incredible job bringing this heartwarming and sizzling story to life, immersing me in their world, and making this fun, heartfelt, and sizzling romance even more irresistible!
I loved everything about this beautiful story of forgiveness, learning to let go and trusting they are worthy of a forever love.
