Four Stars A new Nora Roberts romantic suspense novel is always a reason to celebrate! If you liked HIDEAWAY, Queen Nora’s romsus release in 2020, you’re going to love this book. I adore the way LEGACY is structured. You follow the heroine, Adrian, through her life. Starting with an event that shaped her life in … Continue reading Review: Legacy by Nora Roberts
4.5 Stars I read this book last week and it took me this long to put my feelings in order because, y’all, I am soft. Roan Parrish hit all my “awww” spots with her latest release, BEST LAID PLANS. This is the second book in the Garnet Run series but I read it as a … Continue reading Review: Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish
Four Stars If you're looking for a fun, sexy, and emotional contemporary romance with disability rep, Roni Loren has written the perfect book for you! YES & I LOVE YOU follows Holly, an anonymous entertainment reviewer with Tourette syndrome.

Four Stars This was only the second book by Laura Griffin I’ve picked up, but dang, I am hooked! She has this incredible ability to paint a picture in my brain. While reading FLIGHT, I actually felt like I was watching a movie at points. The beach setting in her latest book is so atmospheric. FLIGHT … Continue reading Review: Flight by Laura Griffin
4.5 Stars It’s official, Talia Hibbert writes the best character driven plots. If you, like me, loved the first two books in The Brown Sisters series, then you will simply adore ACT YOUR AGE, EVE BROWN. This book is almost entirely character driven, mostly because sparkly, effervescent Eve, and grouchy-yet-achingly-endearing Jacob don’t need much else but … Continue reading Review: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
Four Stars Are you in the market for a slow burn romance starring one of the sweetest heroes I've read in a long time? OF COURSE YOU ARE. Alisha Rai somehow wrote a book that started with catfishing and made me like it. Magic. It helps that the hero wasn't the catfisher. Someone pretending to … Continue reading Review: First Comes Like by Alisha Rai
4.5 Stars Only Mia Sosa can make me laugh and absolutely go with a trope that rarely works with me. The hero and love interest in THE WORST BEST MAN is the brother of the heroine’s former fiancé. It just gets weird for me if I think too hard about it! Lina and Max are … Continue reading Review: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
Four Stars I was nervous going into LIKE LOVERS DO by Tracey Livesay. Friends to lovers is a hard trope to pull off in a romance novel. Readers want to see the chemistry between the characters, and I’ve found some friends to lovers books lack that spark. Well, let me assure you, Dr. Nicole Allen … Continue reading Review: Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay
Three Stars It's been a while since I've thought, "this book would have been an easy four stars if it had been 100 pages shorter," but that's exactly how I felt about TEN RULE FOR FAKING IT by Sophie Sullivan. At 384 pages, it isn't THAT much longer than other contemporary romances I've read, but … Continue reading Review: Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan
Five Stars Dear Cara Bastone, thank you for writing one of my favorite books of 2021 in January. A heck of a way to kick off the year!
