4.6.2026 - Once in a Blue Moon

Once in a Blue Moon by Kristan Higgins 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Recorded Books Media for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest books by a favorite, Kristan Higgins.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Winnie Smith was the responsible sister, owner of an event planning company, and the one who avoids drama at all cost.  How did she end up publicly humiliated and an outcast in her community?  She gets a job as the personal assistant to Lorenzo Santini, a world-renowned surgeon AKA as Dr. Satan by his staff.  It will be strictly business - until it isn't.

This book basically follows in timeline from Look on the Bright Side, which features Winnie’s sister, Lark, and her interactions with Lorenzo/Dr. Satan.  Once in a Blue Moon could be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading that one first.  Plus, it was a great book with more depth than a normal romance.  I really liked getting to know Winnie more in this new book – the unflappable younger sister who suddenly is at a loss, through no real fault of her own.  She stands up to Lorenzo and isn’t awed by his money or power.  More themes of second chances abound.  Narration by Xe Sands was impeccable once again!
