Personally, I just don’t vibe with the love triangle in any book but with this one I really found it hard to connect with either love interest. I did enjoy the mystery aspect of the novel though. That’s what really saved this book for me and kept me invested in finding out who Josephine ended up with. Abbey’s ending felt rushed to be honest and thus not very satisfying. Overall good book, just not my favorite :) Books Mentioned: Skies over Calendonia- Samantha Young The Prison Healer- Lynette...

"First they were strangers..then they were roommates..then well..it's a funny story" The tension, the longing, the unsureness, the roommates to lovers who are also the exes of each other’s exes so they’re going to try and get some type of revenge? I loved the setting, and the secondary characters! The witty FUNNY banter, omg I died. The character growth was beautiful, the timeline was paced perfectly, the spice was a classy spice, overall it was my favorite of Emily Henry.

"A laugh out, loud fantasy romance, with severed heads, hanging from the office ceiling, and employees betting on which intern will be fed to the dragon". If the intro doesn't hook you then I don't think we can be friends. THIS BOOK, instant favorite, so freaking funny, and i'm obsessed with each character! Books Mentioned: The Dixon Rule (campus diaries)- Elle Kennedy Skies Over Caledonia (the highlands series book 4)- Samantha Young Funny Story- Emily henry Empire of Storms- Sarah J...

Releasing May 1 I loved the mystery that was brought in and the story really keeps you engaged to find out what will happen! I also loved the journey of two people from different levels of society and how they worked with it. "It doesn’t take long for ambitious freshman and aspiring engineer Jessie Ahuja to learn about two university legends. One is the haunted history of Davidson Tower, where more than fifty years ago, two ill-fated lovers disappeared in a devastating fire. The other is Ravi...

The sexual tension in this spicy book!!! Cassie is hysterical, she is kind of a mess in the best possible way. She has an encyclopedic memory of Snapple lid facts and her best friend is her elderly neighbor, who is also hysterical. She has a tendency to ramble when she gets nervous, which adds another layer of fun to the story. Sophie, the cute 9 year old, is too cool for most things but secretly loves everything Cassie brings into her life. Aiden is so kind and his love for his daughter is...

Sequel to the Done and Dusted series, we return to Meadowlark with Wes who is the brother to Emmy (1st book). I loved him. SO.MUCH.

She is a working women who wants her freedom while also is melting to Wes's sweetness. If you love a cowboy romance, read this series immediately!

A friend's recommendation, and each book having over 20k+ in 5 star reviews...I knew I was missing out on some great books. I was of course hesitant because they are considered dark romances, and I haven't had the best luck in that category. Honestly I was SO pleasantly surprised!! I lovedddd them! I am halfway through the 3rd book and I am still obsessed with these mafia characters and the story lines!

I really liked Clementine and Iwan‘s characters. They both were trying to find the most authentic versions of themselves. Iwan is just starting his career and Clementine is current day with her career already- seven years in progress. We follow Clementine looking for joy in her job in life without her aunt and we see her assist Iwan in rediscovering his joy. It’s not just a cutie romance where people fall in love, it’s an in-depth look at how time changes a person and reconnection can help...

Love to sob during a book? Welcome to The Last Letter. One thing about Rebecca Yarros is she loves to pull at your heartstrings whether it be in a contemporary or her fantasy books. Like wow, I am never prepared for what she brings. This is no different- military meets single mother meets brothers best friend. Recipe for all the tears.

Another smashing addition to the Influencer series by Amy Lea! City girl, Melanie, a friend of Tara's from Book 2, Exes and O's (Episode 63), and a fashion influencer meets her match with Evan a small town lobster fisherman from Nova Scotia. She is witty and he is grump, my favorite troupe! This series can be read as a one-off but you would be sorely missing out if you didn't pick up all three!

I LOVED this heartwarming tale of golf, love, and redemption. Wells and Josephine's unlikely partnership and blossoming romance had me rooting for them from start to finish. Wells' transformation from a grumpy golfer to a sweet and thoughtful man was incredible to witness, and Josephine's unwavering faith in him was truly inspiring. The book was a perfect blend of humor, heat, and heart, and I couldn't put it down!

I was immediately saying yes once I saw the word Highlands. Anything with Scotland, count me in. This series (which will have 5 books when finished) is incredible. The characters have so much chemistry, the plots and mysteries that are sprinkled in, amazing. I highly recommend you picking them up. Their spice would be around a 4 and you can count on that sexual tension coming into play with each book!

Werewolves mixed into the human world, fake mates, grumpy/sunshine, he falls first, all of my favorite troupes. This book was an absolute hit and Lana is now on my favorite authors list. She did incredible with the spice and story revolving around the characters. I highly recommend you pick up this book!

Not going to lie, I had a hard time with this book. If you took out the middle then it would be okay, it's just that there was still so much history and world building still, that the plot barely moved forward. I need more action, and I didn't get it. There will be one more book coming so i'm hoping there is alot of wrap up and excitement! The only thing that can save the realms now is the one thing more powerful than the Fates. Sera and Nyktos are being held captive by Kolis, convincing...

An incredible blend of cowboys, brother's best friend, slow burn, and lots of spice! Lyla really nailed this debut novel. Relatable and like-able characters from the start, and now i'm invested and need the next book now!

I LOVED this book! We meet Hannah and Gerrit's (from The Deal) daughter Gigi. She is hilarious, witty and a dedicated hockey player just like her dad. She wants to make Team USA so badly and meets Luke Ryder, who helps her with her skills in exchange for her to talk him up in front of her dad. Ryder is a personality that we don't see very much in books. He is the complete opposite of Gigi but their friendship that slow burns into a relationship is fire. Honestly I loved this book that most...
