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!

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.

Five Stars Well, Beverly Jenkins has wrecked me. Honestly, I should just go in to any new Jenkins novel with my emotions braced for impact. On the surface, WILD RAIN follows a delightfully grumpy heroine who begrudgingly catches feelings for the sweet, kind man she saves in the middle of a winter storm (hello, forced … Continue reading Review: Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins
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
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!

When I read the synopsis, I knew I would adore … Continue reading Review: Flirting with Forever by Cara Bastone
Five Stars I was so worried the relationship between Nari and Angus in DRIVEN wouldn’t live up to my expectations after three books of building sexual tension. I am happy to report that not only did Rebecca Zanetti meet my expectations, she also knocked them out of the park! Zanetti has been masterfully weaving the … Continue reading Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti
