What a wild ride! I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but it definitely wasn't this. Unlike anything I've read by this author, it's a crazy, unpredictable journey from start to finish. And while romance is central to the story, this is very much a psychic mystery/adventure, with (entertaining) chaos throughout. Once... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Drive Me Wild by Melanie Harlow
This is probably the lightest book I've read by this author - and I hope she sticks to this vibe in the future! It's not what I would call a traditional "rom com" - there's nothing overtly funny about the book and there's still some weight to the story - but it doesn't get bogged... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Coldhearted Heir by Michelle Heard
I can't say that I loved it, unfortunately. I read a lot of new adult romance, and it always goes one of two ways: it's either great, or the characters come across as so childish that I just can't handle it. This is the second one. Our heroine spends two years blaming a former friend... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Painting the Lines by Ashley R. King
If this is a debut, then I can’t wait to read whatever the author writes next. I’ll openly admit that this takes a little while to find its footing - I didn’t love the beginning - but somewhere along the way, it hits its stride in a big way. I loved the slow burn romance... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Heart-Break You by T.L. Smith
This is the second half of a duet, and it picks up right where the last book left off. If you haven't read Heartbreak Me yet, you can check out my review here. Honestly? I seriously enjoyed Heartbreak Me but its ending was by far the weakest part of the book. And this picks right... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn
I love enemies to lovers, I love fake relationships, and I've loved several of Flynn's books in the past, so this should've been a home run for me... and it just wasn't. I kinda blame that on the hero; he is a judgmental jerk for most of the book and got his girl way too... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
Stunning. Seriously, just a really beautiful, powerful romance. I had no idea what to expect going into this - and that’s how I’d recommend everyone go into it - so the story unraveled in such an organic, mesmerizing way. From page one, you can tell that there’s an intensity about the book that sets it... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The One for Me by Corinne Michaels
I'll be the first to admit that I would've abandoned this after the first chapter had I not committed to reading an ARC. There, I said it. It's wholly and positively problematic. But I continued on and the book got so much better that I'm choosing to pretend the first chapter didn't happen (more on... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hard Fall by Sara Ney
A banter-filled DELIGHT, that's what this was! It's been a long time since I've enjoyed one of Ney's books this much. I always look forward to her work but this was just pure sunshiney goodness. Trace/Buzz makes for a better, more awkward, and NORMAL hero than I could've anticipated, and our heroine matches him perfectly.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Romance Plan by Lila Monroe
One of Monroe's steamier books, this light, low angst rom com flies by. It's not my favorite from the author - there's just something about this couple I couldn't fully connect to - but it's a fun, easy read that wholly embraces its low angst feel. This one stays true to its tropey roots, featuring... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Trillion by Winter Renshaw
Winter Renshaw always writes unpredictable romances - I never know what to expect from her books, and that makes them engrossing reads. This certainly followed that same path; at first glance, it seems like the typical "rich guy needs a wife" romance, but there's a lot more to it than that. There's a ton of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Troublemaker by Kayley Loring
Kayley Loring's books have such PERSONALITY; a completely distinctive writing style that just makes me smile. I always know I'm in for light, playful, sexy reads with her and that's exactly what this is. A touch of the forbidden adds the only angst to this otherwise smile-inducing read; it's the kind of light romance that... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Kiss My Cupcake by Helena Hunting
Such a light, low angst delight! I've been loving playful, easy rom coms more and more recently, so this hit the spot in a big way. It's sweet and sassy with just a touch of sexy; the kind of book you can devour in one sitting with a smile on your face the whole time.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: King of Souls by L.A. Cotton
If you haven’t read Prince of Hearts, the first half of this duet, yet, you can check out my review here. Talk about INTENSE! The conclusion to a dark and twisty duet, this picks up right where the last book left off and keeps on going from there. This half is much more about the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Leo by Jay McLean
A lot of people are going to love this book. Me? Well, I've got complicated feelings about it. Yes, the writing is excellent, the story will grip you, and you will go through a range of emotions. But it's just got so many of the storyline elements that make me disconnect from a love story... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Reckless Kiss by Tia Louise
I’m conflicted about this love story. On one hand, there were twists and turns paired with a deep love that’s obvious. I loved how committed these two are to each other and their unwavering desire to be open about their relationship. On the other hand, they don’t actually spend all that much time together. Our... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: That Swoony Feeling by Meghan Quinn
Without a doubt, this is my favorite in the series - even if I wanted to smack Brig upside the head repeatedly. Quinn makes his personality shine in this funny, swoony romance; it's lighter than the other books in the series because that's just the kind of guy Brig is. He's been my favorite Knightly... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: This is So Happening by Amelia Kingston
Barbie and the bad boy make for an unexpected but excellent pairing in this New Adult romance. Anyone who read the first book in this series (absolutely not required reading but it was FANTASTIC, so I suggest that you do so) will remember both Jessie and Devin. If not for one chance encounter, they likely... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Hacker by Nancy Herkness
It was more "like" than "love" for me with this one, unfortunately. The first book in this series was decent so I thought I'd give the second one a shot, and while there were definitely elements that I enjoyed, it left me with the same sort of feeling. The series is a strange combination of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: When the Time is Right by M. Mabie & Aly Martinez
Seriously... friends to lovers is at its absolute BEST in this one! I loved the first book by this writing duo, so I couldn't wait to dig into this and it did not disappoint. I'll be the first to admit that I took a little while to warm up to it - the prologue pulls... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Restraint by Adriana Locke
Every time a book by Adriana Locke hits my Kindle, I have to get my grabby hands on it immediately. And that was the case with this one too. Though the personalities of these characters weren’t a perfect fit for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish and read it in one... Continue Reading →
