Check out this great cover! Every cover in the North Brothers series has been so unique, but this might just be my favorite one. And I'm really intrigued about what the story entails - the "blurb" isn't giving us much to go on, but anyone who has been following the series knows that this brother... Continue Reading →
Loved it, loved it, LOVED it! You know things are going VERY well when the 20-hour runtime on an audiobook doesn't faze me, and I spend time doing math to determine whether it's physically possible for me to stay up late enough to finish before going to bed (sadly, no). I really wasn't sure what... Continue Reading →
A blend of women's fiction and romance, this heroine-centric story features its own unique combination of ingredients.

I had a good reading week! The overabundance of exciting new releases has left me jumping between books all week (too many choices!), but I found some great ones along the way. I checked out Torie Jean's swoony debut, which was both realistic and super charming. I read the newest in Julie Olivia's easygoing rom... Continue Reading →
Lighthearted fun, this was just as bingeable as the first book in the series, with plenty of sparring that felt like sparks of attraction. It's low angst and easygoing, featuring a theme park princess and her best friend's brother - the one who infuriates her by existing. These two had great chemistry, and it was... Continue Reading →

I went from (almost) running out of new releases to read in August to being absolutely overloaded with books I'm excited to read in September. I can't keep up!

My favorite kind of audiobooks - those performed in duet, so that you can distinguish between the characters! Audiobooks have come a long way in the last several years, shifting from books that are simply read aloud to true audio performances. I remember trying to get into audiobooks a few years ago, and I just... Continue Reading →
This is the kind of debut that gets me excited about what's next from an author, because there was so much good stuff going on with the story. It's ideal for fans of Elena Armas and Chloe Liese, sort of the perfect combo of both of their vibes - featuring a deliciously smitten hero, bickering... Continue Reading →
You know what? I liked it, but I also think it should've (and could've) been about 200 pages shorter. Zapata is known as the queen of slow burn romance, and I love the way she writes the subtle shifts in relationship dynamics, these tiny moments that build up the intimacy. That's all still here in...

Do I judge books by their covers? Absolutely! How else am I going to know when to stop scrolling online? I'm the kind of mood reader who enjoys trying out tons of new-to-me authors, and covers are one way of narrowing down my options. And there's a certain artist who has been catching my eye...

I had a great reading week, with two 5-star and two 4-star romances. I continued my binge of B.K. Borison's small town romance series, and the newest installment might just be my favorite. The hero was the swooniest man! I also read J. Saman's new intense and spicy romance, which brought the heat and was... Continue Reading →
Did I read this because of that adorable cover? 100%, but I don’t regret it. Absolutely FILLED with playful banter, this low angst rom com gets the chemistry right. I loved how much texting and conversation there was between the characters, which made it easy to see all of the reasons they’re perfect together. There's... Continue Reading →

I focus on new releases in romance the rest of the week, so Throwback Thursdays revisit book recommendations from years past. This week’s topic is unexpected roommates! When I put this list together originally, I remember being worried that I'd have enough good recs to fill the list... and then it started overflowing. Apparently this... Continue Reading →

Once these two cross the line, they practically combust into flames - this is a smokin' hot installment to the series, one that is full of electric chemistry from start to finish. I jumped back into the series just in time for the conclusion, which was both easy to read as a standalone and also... Continue Reading →
Heavier and steamier than the cover implies, this was another solid addition to the series. I loved the hero, who is a genuinely good guy secretly yearning for love that he doesn't believe he'll ever have. And I also kinda loved the fact that both characters were older, with a successful, confident, 45-year-old heroine and... Continue Reading →

This series just keeps getting better and better, swoonier and swoonier. Maybe steamier and steamier too. Zero complaints about any of that - I loved this!

Is it ever really "just a hookup" in romance books? Nope! But these couples can fool themselves into thinking that there are no strings attached when they bang for the first time.

Can't say that my reading week went quite the way I expected, but it wasn't bad! Between unanticipated work obligations and my local library dragging their feet about buying my most anticipated releases (I can't spend $10+ on every traditionally released book!), I was left with little reading time and none of the books I... Continue Reading →
Flawless remains one of my favorite books of the year, so you can bet that I’m excited about the next book in the series! This one sounds pretty great too, and I’m loving the cover. Age gap romances with grumpy single dads are never a hardship to read, and Silver’s writing was a definite win... Continue Reading →
A new charity anthology just released, and it contains stories by over 150 romance authors - all in the name of reproductive rights. I'm a fan of anthologies because they're perfect for trying out authors I've heard of but never read before, or getting bonus content from authors I already enjoy. This particular anthology is...

While this week was filled with big, widely anticipated releases, next week is about the exciting smaller reads.

Regardless, there's sure to be something for everyone. Take a peek... Continue Reading →
This didn't quite live up to the hype for me, but I can see why fans of friends to lovers romances would eat it up. One of my favorite tropes is marriage of convenience, so I was cautiously optimistic that this would be the rare friends to lovers scenario that would resonate with me. And... Continue Reading →
There are a ton of awesome deals going on right now, so I thought I’d feature 15 of the ones that caught my eye. I’ve read and loved several of these, and a few are on my TBR. If I’ve reviewed a book in the past, I’ve included that. If not, I explained why it... Continue Reading →
“You’re absurd.” It comes out sounding like You’re adorable.“You’d love it.” He grins. “Don’t lie.” When you're fake dating the, ah, literal Holiday Spirit, things are bound to get complicated. This chaotic, charming, one-of-a-kind story is filled with holiday fun that put a smile on my face. I've been a huge fan of Hogle's work... Continue Reading →

I’ll be generous with my rating, because this wasn’t a good fit for me, but it’ll be just the kind of soft, magical romance that some readers are looking for. This is the first adult romance by the author, and that could explain why it had such YA vibes. Yes, these are adult characters (31/36),... Continue Reading →

This time of year always makes me think back on the books I’ve read so far and revisit my TBR to see what else I want to check out before the year is over. I’ve read some excellent romance novels in 2022, and I’m sure that there are more to come! The contemporary romance novels... Continue Reading →
I ended up spending most of my week listening to early audio versions of B.K. Borison's swoony small town series, just in time for the newest book to release. And I'm not complaining!

Sometimes it takes a second chance to get things right, and the result is even sweeter because of the struggle. I'm talking about the couple in this book (which I LOVED!), but I'm also referring to my own reading experience. Back when this first released, I tried jumping into the series without reading the first... Continue Reading →

It was a month of new-to-me authors, and I’m not complaining! I reviewed books by 12 authors I hadn’t read before this month, with several additional semi-finished books on my Kindle because I’m bad like that. Most of those endeavors were very successful - five of my six favorite books of the month were written... Continue Reading →
You'll be seeing some of these books on my Best of 2022 list for sure - August brought some excellent reads. Both Love on the Brain and Thank You For Listening made my Best of 2022 (So Far) list back in June after I posted my sneak peek reviews, and they remain some of my... Continue Reading →
With great chemistry and a memorable meet cute, this absolutely started off on the right note. I love a good strangers to lovers romance, and these two are FIRE together right away.

It's easy to see why this friends to lovers romance is so popular - it is completely swoony and CHARMING, with a great found family feel and an intriguing cast of characters.

Rom coms: readers love them so much that the majority of romance books get (mis)labeled that way! It can often be difficult to tell if the book you're reading is going to be a genuinely low angst, feel good (hopefully funny!) read, which sometimes makes reading rom coms frustrating. Sometimes I just want a book... Continue Reading →
I had a good reading week, albeit a light one (for me, anyways), and I tried several new-to-me authors. I read Love on the Brain a few months ago, but I officially posted my review this week - and it remains one of my favorite books of the year. I checked out the first co-write... Continue Reading →
Entertaining (but also a little ridiculous), this office rivals romance felt like it was strongly influenced by two of my favorite books - The Hating Game and The Spanish Love Deception. Which is good, because I loved those books... but there were also perhaps too many familiar components. That being said, this spins the office... Continue Reading →

The blurb sounds up my alley, the cover is adorable, and I just can't wait to get reading! Details on The Co-op below - it... Continue Reading →
I'm kinda confused by the blurb, but that doesn't dampen my excitement for the newest steamy rom com from Kayley Loring and Connor Crais. Is it an accidental pregnancy romance (in present day) or a secret baby from the past? Yeah, I can't tell from this blurb, lol. But I loved the first book in... Continue Reading →
Started as a 5, shifted into a 4, then fizzled to a 3 - I liked a lot of this, but the push/pull overshadowed the actual romance after awhile. The good news? It's the kind of book that makes me want to read more from this new-to-me author, because I enjoyed the writing style and... Continue Reading →
I loved it from start to finish - this was a sweet and swoony treat, featuring an adorable grump of a hero and playful, lighthearted vibes. I've been meaning to check out both of these authors individually, so I jumped at the chance to read their first team-up, and it was more than I could've... Continue Reading →
