Great Bundle!

Maybe Later
4*
I listened to the audio. The narrators did a good job telling this story. This was enjoyable. A majority of this is e-mails between the two characters. Jackson was in need of an assistant because his was on maternity leave. Amy is a virtual assistant and can tolerate the grumpy CEO. Love the back and forth e-mails and texts.

My One Regret
4*
Kade and Sadie

An emotional beautiful story. After a family tragedy Kade breaks off his engagement to Sadie the love of his life. A couple months later he is back in the hospital after Sadie was in a terrible car crash where she winded up giving birth early to a baby he didn't know about and she ended up in a coma. This story goes back and forth as Kade reminisces from the first time he met Sadie and courted her to the present. Certain things comes to light and revelation are made.
Narrators did a good job telling this story.

Begin with Me
4*
Wes and Abby
First this ends in a cliffhanger that has me regret I didn't get the second audio, but I have the ebook. Wes and Abby meet when after a terrible tragedy Abby is placed in foster care and the same family that took Wes in when he was young. This one is way different than the other books from Claudia that I have read/listened to. This is dark, twisted, tragic and so much more. It had me on the edge of my seat knowing Abby suffered so much more than the abuse she put up with when her grandmother passed and she was forced to live with her mom. Then her mom and marries a man who turns out to be an even bigger monster than the mom. Then there is Wes who also has a tragic past and is in love with Abby and he is good at helping her when she has her episodes. But there is also Wes trying to run the father's company.

The narrators did a really good job with this book.



Wrong Text, Right Love
4*

Percy and Ford

A funny, A bit steamy cute romance. Ford is a grumpy introvert who only tolerates his twin brother. He doesn't like it when he finds out his brother lent his apartment to their step brother which is across from his, he is furious. But then he finds out they are subletting it to his SIL's client who is a social media love guru and is constantly talking when he prefers silence. I enjoyed listening to this story. The back and forth banter between the two is something I love. The narrators did a good job.

Collection of first book in series

What an amazing collection of books that are the first in their series. Each one is great in its own way and I enjoyed all four.

Maybe Later (The Spearman Family Book 1)
In this book, we get Jackson Spearman who is used to getting everything he wants. When his assistant goes on leave she leaves him with a virtual assistant, Amy Walker, who keeps him on his toes. Their banter is fantastic and to watch both of them grow is great.
Narrated by Sebastian York and Grace Grant

My One Regret is an emotional book about a rock star with baggage and I don't mean his children. He has an ex-wife that is pure evil and she controls his life. When he meets Sadie he is determined to make her his but when forced with a choice he does not choose Sadie. A tragedy pulls them back together and past hurts heal. Great story with a happy ending.
Narrated by Stephen Dexter and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

Begin with Me (Chaotic Love, Book 1) (duet, cliffhanger)
Oh my goodness this book will run you through the emotional wringer. First, let me warn you this is a cliffhanger and leaves you needing book two. Abby has a tragic childhood until she comes to live with a foster family that cares. There is another foster child there as well that becomes her best friend. Wes wants more than friendship from Abby. He wants to save her and to love her but there is so much darkness behind her eyes it may be impossible. This book is beyond 5 stars but there are triggers if you have an issue with those.
Narrated by Jason Clarke and Muffy Newtown

Wrong Text, Right Love (Against All Odds: The Brassard Family Book 1)
This book is off the charts hilarious. An outgoing girl who talks non-stop and a broody introvert that can't get her out of his head. The characters are all great and I laughed and had my heart melt so many times. I read this book several months ago and now have also listened to it and just WOW.
Narrated by Brook Bloomingdale and Jason Clark
