It can be incredibly difficult to keep track of all of the new releases each month, so I’ve put together a calendar to help you manage your TBR. The following books are the... Continue Reading →
WEEKLY WRAP-UP: June 24th
It was a busy release week, and a solid one too! I've been eagerly anticipating the newest from Elizabeth O'Roark for months, and it did not disappoint. The steamy office romance kept me on my toes, and O'Roark has now solidified her one-click status for me. The newest from Lucy Score also released this week,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Saint by Deborah Bladon
It was alright. I'm probably going to forget that I even read this a week from now, which is why I can't rate it any higher. While I'm typically a big fan of Bladon's low angst, sexy romances, this one felt SUPER instalovey and also very surface level. The blurb (and great cover) gives the... Continue Reading →
Teaser Thursday

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Devil You Know by Elizabeth O’Roark
With sexual tension that crackles and banter that shines, this office rivals romance is another great addition to what has been a stellar series of near-standalones. I loved the electric connection between these two office enemies; they've got the kind of chemistry that sparks off the page, and the volatile nature of their relationship made... Continue Reading →

COVER REVEAL: The Crush by Karla Sorensen
There's a new sports romance on the way from Karla Sorensen, and I can't wait to read it! While the blurb sounds a little more like a second chance romance than I'd like, I'm always excited to get my hands on a new book by Sorensen. This series has been great so far, and I'm... Continue Reading →
June is Audiobook Month, So Let’s Talk Audio!
Let’s talk about romance audiobooks! Usually, people either love or hate them. A few years ago, I would’ve said that I hated them. The only ones I’d listened to were stiff and formal, and they did nothing to enhance the story. That is absolutely not the case these days! Audiobooks are becoming more popular than... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score
There's a lot to love about a cinnamon roll sweetheart who falls hard and fast for his girl - this hero was GREAT! As a longtime fan of Score's work, I was excited to dive into this and see how her style changes for a more "traditional" romance audience. This still has the same small... Continue Reading →

Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley
Light and easy, this fake relationship romance is low angst fun. It plays up the tropes for a lighthearted, laidback read, and I loved the hero. He's a cinnamon roll sweetheart who knows his pro football career will end at some point, so he's opened a bakery with his two best friends. This certainly felt... Continue Reading →

15 Sexy Single Dad Romance Books
There's just something about a good father that is incredibly sexy, so it's no wonder why the single dad trope is so popular! These romances often feature found families, heart-melting moments, and plenty of swoons. I love it when a single dad finds his perfect complement, and the family scenes can be downright adorable. Though... Continue Reading →
WEEKLY WRAP-UP: June 17th
It was an exploratory reading week for me, and the results were successful! I tried out new-to-me author Lilian T. James, and Meet Me Halfway quickly became one of my favorite romances in what has been a phenomenal reading month for me. I also loved Last on the List, the newest from Amy Daws. It... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Because I Need You by Claire Contreras
Have you ever read a book, and you know it's not very good, but it's exactly what you're in the mood for that day? That's where I'm at with this one, or at least where I was while reading the first half. I was in the mood for some mafia goodness, so I decided to... Continue Reading →
Teaser Thursday
It's one of the busiest release weeks of the month, with lots of intriguing new romances! Lighthearted reads lead the way, though there's something for every mood. I've read a few of these and have a few others on my TBR, so it should be a good week. Take a peek at some of the... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Last on the List by Amy Daws 🎧
A sexy single dad who is a genuinely nice guy, but also kind of a possessive caveman? Yeah, that works for me! This hero steals the show with his combination of sweet and alpha/businessman and caveman, but I also loved the vibrant heroine who has unexpected sides of her own. The two make for a... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels 🎧
Sitting squarely between 3 and 4 stars for me, the best part of this suspenseful romance is its unpredictable storyline. I've read amnesia romances before, but never has one played out quite like this one - and that definitely kept me on my toes. I liked the teases and the guessing, and it certainly gets... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Meet Me Halfway by Lilian T. James
I'd heard good things about this, but it far exceeded my expectations - I absolutely loved it! It felt so original, focusing on the strength and determination of the single mom heroine and the issues with making assumptions. There's a great neighbors to lovers romance, and seeing the subtle shifts in the dynamic was immensely... Continue Reading →
DEAL ALERT: Paperback Sale
Some of the buzziest romance novels that can sometimes be $10+ even on Kindle are on a BUY 3 FOR THE PRICE OF 2 sale in paperback format right now. There’s a great selection too, and this type of sale is usually very time sensitive! This list works just like the freebies and deals post... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: Boyfriend Material by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I've had Boyfriend Bargain on my TBR forever, so it might just be time to move it to the top - there's a new book in the series on the way! I rarely read new adult romance these days, but Ilsa Madden-Mills is an author I'll one-click for. And that cover is great! We'll see... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Dealmaker by Jessica Peterson
A solid series starter, this steamy office rivals romance flies by. I learned a little more about stockbroking than I wanted, lol, but it's got a light and sexy vibe that works for the story. What starts as strangers to instant enemies quickly transitions into instalove kind of vibes, and that worked because of the... Continue Reading →

15 (More) Great Grumpy / Sunshine Romance Books
I discovered just how popular the grumpy/sunshine romance trope is when I posted my original recommendation list (found here) - and there's a good reason for that! The opposites attract dynamic provides plenty of opportunities for sexual tension-filled friction, and the build in intimacy just feels even more satisfying once a lovable grump has exposed... Continue Reading →
WEEKLY WRAP-UP: June 10th
I had a great reading week! Three 5-star reads, one 4-star, and one 3-star (which I actually read months ago). Those ratios are almost unheard of for me! Plus... there was one very disappointing DNF. But I'm focusing on the wins, and that's what most of the week entailed. I tried out new-to-me author Julie... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
I've got a lot of thoughts about this one, a lot of thoughts. Women's fiction lovers are likely to enjoy this more than romance readers, though even telling you if this is ultimately a romance feels like a spoiler. I was really loving this for the first 30% or so - the laidback, emotional feel... Continue Reading →
Teaser Thursday(ish)
Did I forget that yesterday was Thursday? Yes, yes, I did! But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention some of the books that are releasing in the next week. It's looking like a pretty solid release week, with books for every mood. There are a couple of new romances I've been hearing great things... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Borrowed Boyfriend by Angela Casella
Easy, sexy, and a little different than the norm, I got everything I wanted from this low angst romance. What starts as a fake relationship soon turns into something else entirely, and I loved that this didn't take the usual path. This hero is a sexy bartender who looks like trouble, so it was great... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: True North by JB Salsbury
I've been enjoying this series of interconnected standalones from JB Salsbury, so I'm excited to get a new installment! Each book follows a different brother, and they all have vastly different personalities, lol. It's billionaire romance with a twist, and I love the unpredictability. True North will be here on August 8th, and I'm curious... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey
I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars, but you know what? I devoured it in one sitting, was entertained the entire time, and I haven't read a book that's quite this steamy in awhile - plus that original, awful cover was swapped out before release day. So I'm rounding up! The second half read much,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: My Perfect Enemy by Jessica Prince
It was like (not love) for me, but there's a lot of good stuff going on in this fling to more romance. After one steamy night together, this couple soon realizes they're in over their heads when they become boss/assistant. I loved the sexual tension, and there are some really sweet moments between this single... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: All Downhill With You by Julie Olivia
All kinds of adorable and just the low angst read I was in the mood for, this made for a great introduction to Olivia's work. The grumpalicious hero paired with a sunshiney heroine made for a fun dynamic, and the story deftly tackles heavier subjects while maintaining a light and easy feel. It's got small... Continue Reading →

15 of My Favorite New Adult & College Romance Books
Whether it's the hot jock and the nerdy girl, the tutor and the troublemaker, the playboy and the virgin, or something a little more complicated, college, high school and new adult romances can be filled with tropes. Some of my favorite new adult romances are tropey goodness. Others are a little more nuanced, with stories... Continue Reading →
WEEKLY WRAP-UP: June 3rd
It was a great reading week! I binged my ARC of one of the most highly anticipated romances of the year, Love on the Brain, and it exceeded my very high expectations. I finally moved a classic slow burn romance (The Wall of Winnipeg and Me) up to the top of my TBR, and it... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata 🎧
I finally took the plunge, and this absolutely lives up to the hype - I ADORED it! This one's for those readers who have the patience to follow little breadcrumbs scattered throughout the story, tiny moments of romance that slowly (SLOWLY) build into something truly beautiful. I loved that build in intimacy, the steps that... Continue Reading →
Teaser Thursday
We've got a busy release week on the way, and it's looking like a great one! While there was a lull in new romances this week, I used the time to get ahead on next week's new books, and I've already had some success! There are several other books I'm planning on digging into after... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: The Boss Project by Vi Keeland
Vi Keeland can be hit or miss for me, but this sounds like the kind of classic office romance that I love to read from her. I'm sure there will be a twist, but The Boss Project has the foundation of a great read - and a compelling cover! We've got the blurb, a release... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: You’re My I.T. by C.N. Holmberg 🎧
Super cute but also immensely frustrating, this slow-burning office romance is a quick and easy read. I LOVE that it features a HERO who starts the book plus-sized and unsure of himself. It was really refreshing to read about a hero who just assumes that the pretty girl at work wouldn't be into him, and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Funny Feelings by Tarah DeWitt
I love it when I try a new-to-me author and I know immediately that I'm in for an excellent read. My love for this heartfelt, swoony read began right away, and it just got stronger and stronger as the book progressed. I loved the pining, the completely unique feel, and I loved the cinnamon roll... Continue Reading →

What’s on My TBR? 25 ARCs on My Kindle
The only problem with having an embarrassment of ARC riches? Deciding what to read first! I’ve got lots of very exciting ARCs on my Kindle at the moment, with too many books and too little time. I’ve read a few of these, can’t wait to dig into others, and am looking forward to checking out plenty... Continue Reading →

SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
No sophomore slump here! Love on the Brain is as deliciously swoony and addictive as The Love Hypothesis, with characters who are equally compelling. I devoured it in one sitting and LOVED it the whole way through. It's quirky and science-filled, with a relationship that's layered and nuanced. I loved trying to figure out our... Continue Reading →
Best of May 2022
There was an embarrassment of reading riches in May, so my biggest problem was choosing which books would make this list! This month, I really focused on setting aside books that weren't working for me and giving my full attention to those that did - whether they were new releases or retro reads. And that... Continue Reading →
MAY 2022 WRAP-UP
There might be a few days left in the month, but I'm calling it a wrap - there are already plenty of great candidates for my Best of the Month list (coming soon)! Plus, you know, it's a holiday weekend and there aren't any new releases til Tuesday. May started off a little slow, but... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Exiled by Brenda Rothert
I'm a big fan of the concept, it's the execution that I didn't love. Having a second chance romance set in a Survivor-like reality show created some great forced proximity, tension, and the requirement that this couple work out their differences if they want to succeed. I loved that it felt unique, and I was... Continue Reading →
Teaser Thursday
We've got a little lull in new releases around the holiday weekend, but then things pick right back up on Tuesday! It's a good week to catch up on your TBR and make room for all of the great books coming in June. In the meantime, there are a few intriguing releases out soon. Take... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Good Vibrations by Kayley Loring
Deliciously weird and super sexy, this single dad romance had me laughing within minutes and smiling the whole way through - exactly the kind of low angst, funny read that I love from Loring. If you're new to the series, then you'll be missing out on some hysterical family moments (and two other great rom... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: The Refiner by Kristy Marie
I loved the unique storyline of the first book in this series of interconnected standalones, so I'm definitely excited to check out the next brother's book! Am I a little concerned that I won't love this playboy hero as much? Maaaaybe, but sometimes it's the playboys who fall the hardest. This certainly sounds like another... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: He’s a Keeper by Stacy Travis
Not quite the grumpy/sunshine read I was looking for, this soft and sweet romance still makes a great series starter. I've been meaning to check out Travis' work, and this was the perfect introduction to her writing - it sets up the series nicely while still remaining a total standalone, and it showcased her unique... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: So Not Meant to Be by Meghan Quinn
I'm really excited for this one! I always look forward to the newest steamy rom coms from Meghan Quinn, and the first book in this series of interconnected standalones was particularly great - MEGA STEAMY and great. This one promises to be another playful, scorching, emotional read, and I'm loving the sound of the blurb.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Once Upon an Island by Sarah Ready
Unfortunately, this was not a successful reading experience for me, which is really disappointing because I’ve enjoyed Ready’s work in the past. There are a million romance novels inspired by Pride and Prejudice, and I've read some pretty great ones. Getting the hero's personality just right is one of the major requirements, and this hero... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: The Grumpy Billionaire by Tru Taylor
Now, the title seems a little too on the nose, lol, and I'm not much for second chance romances, but I've gotta admit that I'm intrigued... how exactly do you write a romance based on Sleeping Beauty? I recently checked out this series of fairytale-inspired romances, and I had a lot of fun reading Scarlett... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Rival Radio by Kathryn Nolan
If you liked The Ex Talk but wanted more swoons AND more sex, well, then you're gonna love this sexual tension-filled treat! There's something about Nolan's writing that is always so super swoony, with low angst vibes and romance that you can root for. I was expecting this to have stronger enemies to lovers vibes,... Continue Reading →
AVAILABLE NOW: Illustrated Hardcover of A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn + REVIEW
I've already read and loved A Not So Meet Cute, and now a brand new edition of the book was just released with over 30 illustrated scenes! It's a scorching hot rom com with plenty of sexual tension, so I'm very curious to see how detailed those illustrations get, lol! I remember several of the... Continue Reading →
