From New York Times Bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
My planned trip for two unexpectedly turned into a trip for one. Rather than let my breakup get me down, I packed my bags and decided a week at a luxury resort was just what I needed.
But one calamity after the next, and suddenly I was stuck without a hotel room, along with a few hundred … room, along with a few hundred other people.
It looked like my fancy vacation was about to turn into me sleeping on the hotel lobby floor.
Until I overheard a gorgeous man pretending to be someone he wasn’t in order to steal a reservation from a guest who hadn’t shown up yet.
When I realized there were two rooms, instead of calling him out, I pretended to be his sister. That’s how the story of “Milo and Maddie Hooker” began.
We were the Hookers.
My depressing trip quickly made a U-turn into an adventure.
My fake brother spent the next few days showing me around his hometown. When it was time to leave, neither of us really wanted to go yet.
So, instead of flying back to our respective homes, we ventured on a road trip.
At every stop, we’d pick up souvenirs.
But as hot as our chemistry was, we never crossed the line.
Milo knew I’d just come out of a tough relationship and didn’t want to mess with a vulnerable woman.
So instead, at the end of our trip, we made a pact to meet again in three months.
It was always my intention to meet him.
But when I got back home, reality hit in a big way.
And I worried I may have lost my handsome stranger forever.
Was there a place for him in my future?
Or had the memory of him just become my favorite souvenir?

My Favorite Souvenir is another 5 star read from Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.
Give me a handsome musician, introduce him to a girl he is smitten with on first sight, put them on a soul searching, healing, fun filled road trip, and I am yours. I got swept off into the story instantly. I have to admit, I am not a big fan of slow burn romance stories, but Vi and Penelope did such a great job writing this one I didn’t miss the s*x at all. Hazel and Matteo were perfect as a couple, they fitt together like 2 Lego pieces. Matteo is one of the swooniest, dreamiest, hottest Hero ever. Hazel is a sweet and beautiful. I loved how they fell in love with each others soul. They had an intense, scorching chemistry right from the start. I could practically fell it oozing from the pages of the book. There were so many fun moments, I read the first part grinning, and sometimes laughing out load, when I got some looks from the family. lol. And then came the second part, where I shed tears for these 2, sad and happy ones. Life put them in a conflict situation, and they had things to work out in order to find each other. It was perfect. I loved every minute, every word, I even “cried and smiled at the same time”. ….. and I will never forget the wall of smiles.

I loved this book so much. It was thoughtful, entertaining, sexy, IT WAS EVERYTHING! The Hookers were so much fun to travel with and there were so many unexpected twists and turns with them. Matteo and Hazel have both experienced loss and heartbreak and the road they travel to find themselves is long and complicated. It all came together beautifully in the end. This is one of my top reads of the year!!!
I adored this book! I’m actually sad that I’ve finished it! It hooked me in from the start and I couldn’t put it down. Milo and Maddie, and Matteo and Hazel are now my absolute favourites in all Vi/Penelope books!
I love everything these ladies write but something about this one, it’s going to be hard to beat! LOVED it!
They did it again… and this time is probably one of their best! Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are fantastic authors in their own right. But put them together and they are magical.
My Favorite Souvenir has an interesting storyline. Bride is jilted by her groom before the wedding but she decides to go on her honeymoon anyway. On said honeymoon she meets a gorgeous stranger and they hit it off. Toss in some identity theft and a road trip and you have a story just waiting for you to laugh.
In addition there is a twist…which makes the story so good and amps up the drama and angst. How will it all turn out? You’ll have to just read My Favorite Souvenir to find out!
Fabulous story, awesome characters. Just fun overall!
This book was exactly what I needed right now. This was such a sweet, funny, cute, perfect story. I was smiling like a crazy person and also screaming at my book wanting Matteo and Hazel to finally be together without anyone being in the middle.
This story was about life, love, and about taking chances. I loved how Matteo makes Hazel want to live, he makes her live the life she always wanted to live. I loved how these two met, I was laughing so hard and just kept swooning at the same time. These two needed to find each other, they needed each other so they could learn how to live and see the world how it should be seen. This had to be one of my favorite books from Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.
This is a must read, you do not want to miss out on this one. You will swoon, cry, laugh, and just love every single second of it.
This one is definitely a top favorite of mine. I absolutely loved “Milo and Maddie”. Their chemistry is so palpable and electric and their banter is fun and flirty. This slow burn friends to lovers storyline will evoke all the feels. From a rom com style to the angst. Throw in a twist and you won’t be able to put it down. Another phenomenal read by this duo of authors. I highly recommend this book!
This book is another hit by Vi and Penelope. It had my attention from the very beginning and I hated having to put it down. Milo and Maddie’s (Hazel/Matteo) adventure was so fun to read about that I refuse to give any type of spoiler in this review as it just needs to be enjoyed through the book. You never knew where they were going with it next. I can honestly say I never saw the small twist coming, but it made their story so much more interesting in seeing how it ended up. I’ve loved every other book by these two authors, but this one moved right to the top of my list. If you’re new to Vi and Penelope’s co-written books, start with this one, you won’t be disappointed!
An adventure of romantically epic proportions!!
This book was an amazing ride from the initial meeting of “Milo” and “Maddie”, to the very end when the “Hookers” learn the truth about their chance meeting.
Starting with a cancelled wedding, and spanning across the Country, this book has the heart, major laughs, and a few tears here and there to tie it all up. This book has all the best things that I have come to expect when Vi and Penelope team up to tot with my emotions.
Wonderful characters, a fun storyline, and an unforgettable adventure make this a fun book for anyone!!!

My favorite souvenir was a great read. It had similar feels that this author duo usually bring to the table. Charming, witty characters with fantastic banter…and eventually some twisty turny drama. But they always seem to bring it all together in the end. They accomplished that here with Hazel and Matteo.
When these two authors come together to write a book, you know you’re in for quite the ride.
Funny that this book actually had a road trip. I loved this part of the story. It was fun, lighthearted and I wish it had continued on.
There was a little turn ( and a person) in the story that I wasn’t too fond of. I could’ve done without.
All in all, it was a good book and I was entertained.
My Favorite Souvenir has stolen a piece of my heart and was such a wonderful, feel good adventure. This book was the exact escape that I needed in my life right now.
The circumstances that led to Matteo and Hazel encountering each other peeked my interest immediately and I was heavily engrossed in their story until the end. I was envious of Matteo and Hazel’s care free spirit, their ability to be so adventurous and their journey was quite entertaining. Not only was their instantaneous connection on point, but so was their amazing chemistry which was consistent throughout the book.
My Favorite Souvenir was filled with so much heart and depth and I can’t get over how fantastic this book was. As always, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward did a phenomenal job with creating a unique, intriguing and unforgettable storyline. This is definitely one of my top favorite books of 2020.
My Favorite Souvenir has stolen a piece of my heart and was such a wonderful, feel good adventure. This book was the exact escape that I needed in my life right now. I loved every second of this wonderfully quirky romance. From the moment I met these two characters, I instantly fell in love with them. Matteo and Hazel’s slow burn adventure romance swept me off my feet the first moment I started reading.
I absolutely loved everything about Matteo and Hazel’s unique, sweet, sexy, and swoon worthy love story. Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland created pure romance novel magic with My Favorite Souvenir. It truly was an epic reading journey from start to finish with the most beautiful, unique and unforgettable epilogue. Absolute perfection!
What a fabulous story just loved their adventure when they met as Maddie and Milo so emotional and then to find out about each other as Hazel and Matteo such a rollercoaster as always so funny and sad and heartbreaking loved every moment x
Another amazing book by the dynamic duo that is Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward! My Favorite Souvenir has a unique story line and I found myself smiling so much throughout this book. It was just the pick me up I needed. There were so many laugh out loud moments starting with the way “Milo and Maddie” met. The bed and breakfast….HYSTERICAL! It was fun, sexy and just downright perfect!
My Favorite Souvenir should be on everyone’s to be read list!
The opening to this story and meet cute caught my undivided attention immediately. That is what Viv Keeland and Penelope Ward books do to me, they captivate my attention. Every story they write whether it be solo or co-write they are unique and very well written and you can’t help but just fall into it.
Canceled flights during a snowstorm leads to a chance meeting between our hero and heroine. With no rooms available and with some good old-fashioned eavesdropping leads to two perfect strangers finding themselves playing brother and sister in order to get rooms.
Road trip…fun… flirty…banter…surprises…emotional…chemistry that sizzles…slow burn…spontaneous…laughed so many times…felt like was on trip with them…from start to finish was a ride I would not have missed…pact to meet again…connection they did not expect….plot twist did not see coming at all…incredible epilogue with HEA…heartwarming story…adventure of a lifetime! Do not want to miss this one.
This book was beyond amazing and perfect. Vi and Penelope have truly outdone themselves again with another outstanding book with fantastic characters.
Hazel and Matteo meet in the most unique way and begin an adventure of a lifetime. While stuck in Vail, CO due to unforeseen circumstances and bad weather, they pretend to be other people to be able to stay at a hotel. This is just the beginning of something more than either expected but both desperately needed.
A work situation caused their adventures to be shortened and then surprisingly they see each other again a few weeks later. Some questions are answered while more questions come out. It’s how they deal with them that will make or break what they have discovered.
I have loved every single co-written book by these two authors and each one gets better than the one before.
