Voracious Romance Reader • Honest Reviewer
Not sure what this deal is, but it's GREAT!! There are a BUNCH of $3 audio add-ons that aren't typically anywhere near that cheap, and I personally did a lot of one-clicking. Not sure how long these prices will last, it's not an advertised deal! There are also plenty of $2 add-ons that are great... Continue Reading →

Swoony and spicy, this was softer and sweeter than I expected in the best of ways. While our hero may seem like the typical demanding billionaire, he ended up being anything but. He falls hard and fast for his girl, and I loved how this spun the marriage of convenience trope in a whole other... Continue Reading →

I was overwhelmed with the stellar selection of new romance books this month, and lucky enough to have many of my most anticipated books as ARCs. The combination made for a particularly great reading month, with an unprecedented number of 5-star reads for me. There were some disappointments as well, but I'd have to call... Continue Reading →
Such a fantastic release month! April is always a big month for new romances, but this year had a particularly notable selection.

Playful one minute and heart-wrenching the next, this strikes the perfect balance for an entertaining yet powerful read. It reminded me a little bit of The Dead Romantics with the humor and heat cranked up several notches, though this love story is truly one of a kind. I loved the chemistry between the characters, the... Continue Reading →
Truly something special, indeed. I can’t even tell you how quickly I devoured this, flying through the pages before I even realized I was doing it. These two have BANTER for days, bickering with the kind of chemistry that reveals something sizzling brewing beneath the surface. I loved the black cat heroine, who gave as... Continue Reading →
I love indie romance! Some of the best romance books I've read have been indie romances, and you never know when you're reading the next big thing. These books are often the trendsetters, steering the book market in the direction readers are seeking. They have quicker turnaround times, take more risks, and often have an... Continue Reading →
A solid reading week, for sure! I was still feeling a little under the weather this week, so I continued to gravitate towards rom coms. Staci Hart's new opposites attract romance was entertaining and filled with spice, which made for a fun read. I also liked Katie Bailey's newest, which was a super slow burn/closed... Continue Reading →
I’m torn between 3 and 4 stars, but it was pretty cute, so I’m rounding up. That striking cover caught my eye and the blurb sounded fun, so I dug right into this light and adorable, super slow burn/closed door romance. The hero steals the show here, a commitment-phobic guy who finds himself falling before... Continue Reading →
April has been a crazy busy release month, and it goes out with one last big release day. The good news for your TBR? Things slow down a little bit in May! In the meantime, there are lots of intriguing new romances on the way - take a peek at some of them below! April... Continue Reading →
My love for this one grew with every page, as these roommates shed their depressive fogs and started to truly see the potential of what was right in front of them. They go from acquaintances to companions in heartache to roommates to friends to lovers, slowly shifting the dynamics of their relationship with every interaction.... Continue Reading →

Spicy fun, this didn’t take itself too seriously, and that made it an easy, bingeable read. This couple had chemistry from the moment they met, so it wasn't long before the heat was dialed up a notch with tons of tension-filled moments. Perhaps too many, honestly, but I'm really not complaining. It’s got a bad... Continue Reading →
I've been under the weather, so I'm still working on my May release calendar - and that means I’m sharing some throwback book recs in the meantime! This list features 15 sexual tension-filled rom com books, which are some of my favorite kind of reads. I love sexual tension in all of my romance books,... Continue Reading →
Sort of a weird week, but that's okay! I've been under the weather, so I saved my most anticipated reads for a week when I'm feeling better. That means I sought out comforting, lighthearted rom coms - with mixed results. I really enjoyed Pippa Grant's newest, which hit the mark for uncomplicated, easygoing rom com... Continue Reading →
I liked it! I can’t call it 5 stars because it’s been three days and I’ve already forgotten the plot (lol), but I definitely had a solid reading experience and enjoyed it the whole way through. It’s full of Grant’s signature humor and charm, complete with a light, easy relationship that progresses from irritated acquaintances... Continue Reading →

I’ve been under the weather and watching a lot of TV in bed, so it seemed like the perfect time to check out a new rom com I’ve been hearing about - Upgraded. It’s got classic rom com movie vibes, which I loved. We even get an airplane meet cute and a charming British boy... Continue Reading →

I was looking for a palate cleanser, and this was exactly that... though I think I've already forgotten the plot. I love a good fake engagement romance and the blurb sounded right up my alley, so I decided to jump in. It started off promising, with an opposites attract dynamic and a buttoned-up suit who... Continue Reading →
I'm a reader who loves everything from closed door to super spicy romance books, because the heat level isn't a factor for me. As long as the story is chemistry-filled and engaging, I'm in! That said, low or no heat romance books definitely have a different "feel" to them, and sometimes that's exactly what I'm... Continue Reading →
Sort of a weird wrap-up, but a great one! I posted sneak peek reviews a few weeks ago for two excellent books that released this week. Wild Love was an incredibly strong series starter from Elsie Silver, and I'm still thinking about all of that sexual tension! How to End a Love Story is a... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love an unconventional meet cute, so I adored how this one went - our heroine drunkenly heckles a local baseball player, accidentally makes him cry, and then apologizes in his DMs. They connect without ever meeting face-to-face, and I loved how they were able to open up in a way that they wouldn't... Continue Reading →
Your TBR will be happy to hear that things slow down a little bit over the next week - not a lot, but a little! April has been such a crazy good release month that I'm still making my way through all of the new books, but there are definitely a few more I'm excited... Continue Reading →
This one HURT, in all of the most tenderly brutal ways. Several times, I caught myself unconsciously rubbing my chest while reading, trying to make the ACHE dissipate. That's how invested I was in this couple finding their way together, even when the path there was treacherous. Their every interaction was charged and full of... Continue Reading →
Did I devour this in a single day? You bet I did! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this series starter, and I was delighted to discover that the couple at the heart of it was perfection. I adored their snipes and banter, with feuding that felt a whole lot like flirting. They... Continue Reading →

Pretty sure I’m still on the verge of tears while writing this, and that’s because of how emotionally invested I was in the relationship. Jimenez is so skilled at writing these playful, chemistry-filled romances that make me smile one minute and have a churning in my gut the next. This one really put me through... Continue Reading →
There are times when I'm in the mood for a tension-filled, unpredictable reading experience, and then there are times when I'm in the mood for something warm and cozy, feel good and uplifting. That doesn't mean these soft and tender romances don't tackle tough subjects, it just means they navigate them in ways that bring... Continue Reading →
Last week was the monthly wrap-up, so we've got two weeks' worth of books in this edition - and what a great two weeks! Spring is starting off strong with several crazy good release weeks in a row, and this is a shining example. I was lucky enough to have ARCs for several of the... Continue Reading →
It feels a little odd to say that the hero - a sexy, bisexual grandpa - was my favorite part of this romance, but it's the truth. He's a cinnamon roll sweetheart who has lived a wild life and now wants nothing more than to have someone special to spend quiet evenings with. I loved... Continue Reading →
I know your TBR is probably overloaded after this super busy release week, but... there's a whole lot more on the way! We've got another jam-packed release week coming up, with so many new books.

I wanted to love it, I really did. But it felt like our couple was barely on the page together - there were these short scenes of them interacting, followed by one or two longer scenes of them apart. Rinse and repeat. Because of that, the book felt slow (I wanted more romance) and fast... Continue Reading →

I like to call myself a "certified second chance romance hater," but every once in a while one comes around that proves I can love the trope when the story is right. This is absolutely one of those times. This couple's backstory may be messy, but it's definitely a case of "right person, wrong time."... Continue Reading →

This felt like a hug - warm, soft, tender, and everything I could want from the conclusion to this beloved series. I loved the roommates to lovers situation, which allowed our couple to slowly deepen their emotional connection and let down the walls around their hearts. They could not be more different in their views... Continue Reading →

I don't include books that haven't released yet in my Best of the Month lists, so you'll be seeing some of my favorites in future months' lists. I've included them at the bottom of this post simply because... Continue Reading →
Honestly? Not a great release month, but a fantastic reading month! I struggled whenever I tried to get into this month's newest books, so I ended tackling my ARC pile with significantly more success. Granted, some of my most anticipated reads of the year were sitting on my kindle as ARCs, so it's really no... Continue Reading →

Seamlessly blending a soft, tender romance with a family-focused mystery, this felt like something new from Clayborn while still maintaining the immersive, bingeable quality of her writing. It took me a few chapters to get my bearings - there are four main characters and a lot to unravel about the true crime podcast - but... Continue Reading →
When it all starts with a one night stand, the path to happily ever after is unpredictable. I love this type of fling to more romance, where one night changes everything for the couple. Sometimes it's strangers who spend one spicy evening together before discovering that their lives are more tangled than anticipated. Maybe they're... Continue Reading →
It was a pretty good week! I read a little bit of everything, and I ended up with two 5-star reads. Sounds good to me! While I was trying to get out of a book hangover, I stumbled upon Dust Storm, by new-to-me author Maggie Gates. It was so easy to binge, and the fish... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smart, funny, and a little bit heartbreaking, this truly is a love letter to all of the rom com fans out there. I know there are readers who don't enjoy mixing angst or family drama with humor, but that is exactly what makes this such a nuanced, memorable read. It's a rom com first... Continue Reading →

Fast-paced and banter-filled, this started off strong before fizzling along the way. I loved the unique premise and the playful feel, which kept things moving fast. It’s not a long book, so it flew by for me. But the romance didn’t keep pace with the rest of it, and the heroine’s insistence that they had... Continue Reading →

I'm rounding up my rating, because I liked it, and I binged it, and I'm definitely coming back for more. The things that bugged me were pretty minor, and this is the closest I've found to something that gives me Elsie Silver vibes and backs it up with a solid story. The best part for...
