Audiobook

by Casey McQuiston
Narrated by Natalie Naudus


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


This book was not what I was expecting…


Since I had read Red, White and Royally Blue last year, I was expecting a linear romance for this second release from Casey McQuiston, and what I got was a time shifted mystery romance…


First of all my over all feelings on this book made me give it a 4 star rating. I loved the characters, August and Jane were well developed and once the time sift was revealed, I started to really like them. Even better was the cast of side characters. This award of genders, identities and personalities really carried the book. They brought a fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise intense story.


Secondly, if I was rating this book on the romance alone, I would give it a 3 star rating because, while Jane and Autumn and their care for each other and their love is a continuing theme, to me this book didn’t read as a romance. The mystery of August’s missing uncle, to the time shift dilemma, to the rescue mission of the landmark pancake dinner all took precedence over the romance in my opinion.


The narration of this book added to the story greatly, though the excellent voice work provided by narrator Natalie Naudus. I found the voices she used very appealing and a good fit for the different characters. The pacing of the reading was pleasingly done and easy to listen to.


Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook recording, but the time sifting was a hard element for me to get over as a reader.



One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston is scheduled to release June 1st, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley and a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Macmillan Audio through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
