Very funny series.

Great narrators and stories. I really enjoy her work. I’m already looking for her next book to read.

Hilarious, steamy and fun

Three hilarious books plus one novella, what more could you ask for… The “Name in Lights” collection is a hilarious, steamy and fun series that I loved so much.

Sleeper

This was such a fun listen and had me cracking up from the start and to the end. Willa is quirky, kind and marches to the beat of her own drum. I loved how she knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up and was so passionate about perfume making. Willa was exactly what the twins needed when she showed up. Shane is a swoony guy who loves his kids so much and is trying to survive. The twins are well behaved but being a single parent, all of his worries kicked in for sure. I loved how Willa and Shane met when he was on “That’s So Wizard” with her brother and that interaction was so cute and funny. Willa is still very much attracted to him and it’s on such a different level now that they’re adults. Going to Paris helped her grow as a person and be confident in who she was. The chemistry between them was hot and I loved how tuned they were with each other. Shane is truly a romantic guy and it shows how he cares for Willa. The ending was so sweet and I loved the second epilogue, it was so cute.

Charmer

Nico was so swoony in “Sleeper” and I’m so happy he got his story. He has been famous since he was a teenager and has stayed grounded through it all. I loved how when he met Kat, he was all in from the beginning and no other woman existed…swoonnnn. Kat is an amazing single mother who put her son, Tate, above all of her needs first. Kat and Nico had fun banter and they truly started out as friends. The connection grew and the relationship came so naturally. Being with a single mom was new to Nico but he did all the right things. He bonded with Tate and made sure he knew he was important too. Overall I loved this book.

Troublemaker

From the beginning, I was hooked on Emilia and Alex. Emilia is a teacher who genuinely loves her job and wants to be the best teacher. I loved how she broke up with her boyfriend who didn’t want to support her career move. And her dog, Thatcher, being a service dog for kids who want to practice reading without judgement, had my whole heart. Alex is an amazing dad who loves Ryder so much and will always put him first above his career. He has a successful directing career and I loved how that came into play for his son’s school. Alex and Emilia had instant chemistry at the bar and it grew with the somewhat forbidden flirting they had. There were no rules for dating a parent but it was a little frowned upon. I loved the teasing and longing they had for each other and couldn’t wait for them to give into the attraction. My favorite part of how much of a family these three were. I loved this little family and the ending was sweet and funny, the perfect mix.

Pumpkin’s Gotta Give
A fun and quick novella that had me smiling and laughing through the whole story.

All the narrators were amazing and really brought each story alive. Every narration was full of talent and matched each character they were narrating for perfectly.

Absolutely love this

This was so good! I laughed out loud. It was so good I couldn’t stop listening. Performance was amazing!

Great series! Chapters cut off early

This was a great series, I loved each of the stories. My only conplaint is that a lot of the chapters end in the middle of a sentence so you never hear the end of each chapter in its entirety. Someone didn’t do a good job with the editing but it was still great stories and worth 1 credit. These storirs are what I call a pallet cleanser for when I’m not in the mood for dark romance and I want something that is just romance that makes you feel good.

Happy stories!

All the books were great but #2 was my favorite. All have low angst and the females are somewhat strong characters and the men are not alphas.

Jason Clarke for the win!

Zachary Webber was phenomenal too. Absolutely. I love his kid-voice. These stories were fun. I loved the Brodie bros collection better. I really want to watch That’s So Wizard now…

Choice of Narrators Matters

The stories have been fantastic up until the female narrator changes to Emma Wilder. Every one of her last words is pronounced as if she’s in pain. Overall, great stories.

Loved

I loved everything about this series. Each book is equally charming, entertaining and heartwarming. I enjoyed going on each journey with these amazing characters finding their forever's. Great series!

A wonderful collection

I love these books individually, and I was thrilled to see that the audiobooks were being put together. So much talent in one collection! These were the books that got me hooked on Kayley Loring, and the narrators are some of my favorites. I love that they are full cast productions. And I especially love that Pumpkin's Gotta Give has been recorded and put in here. It is so much fun!

Is it me or are romance writers ageist?

I love all these stories but would love a story about Gran meeting a man or about Louise and Ricky. We older readers would love a story that’s not about our kids’ ages once in a while. We love spice, we have orgasms too and sometimes we lose love and want to find someone new. A little suggestion.
