What a promising start to this brand new series of light, sexy hockey romances! I loved the texting, the unique meet cute, and the likable characters. These two have chemistry from the moment they meet, and the mistaken identities, online (second) meet cute, and sexy times only enhanced that. It's a low angst treat that's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Riggs by Sawyer Bennett
This was so not what I was hoping for. I've been reading this series since the start and Riggs is a character that's intrigued me, but the romance was lackluster at best. I need to give a few spoilers to explain what didn't work for me, so that's your warning. The biggest issue? Riggs sleeps... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Out of the Blue by P. Dangelico
Let’s just say that this book needed a little more time in the oven, but I liked it a lot. I always binge Dangelico's books in one sitting, and I had no trouble devouring this one. It held my attention the whole time, with a laidback vibe, likable characters, and a light, easy feel. I... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Until April by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Alright, well, I probably would've rated this higher if there had been ANY sort of buildup before our couple got together, lol! There was not. It was all smoldering eyes and "wanna get out of here?" and then a few pages after meeting... that was it. Together. I'm not joking, it was really that quick.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Neanderthal by Avery Flynn
This is one of those books that gets better in the second half, because I really wasn't loving it at the start. Our hero falls in love at first sight, and it was just... a lot. Then we find out that the heroine is "engaged" (a lie she made up years ago), and the hero... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Love Language by Emma Hart
As with all of Hart's rom coms, this was a low angst, fun read with plenty of banter. It was definitely lacking in the romance department for me, but makes a solid series starter for what could be an interesting series of standalones. This is technically written in British English, but I honestly didn't notice... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Wish Upon a Star by Jasinda Wilder
What I wanted: An emotional story like The Cabin to wreck me What I got: Teenage sex ed class and sugary sweet love at first sight Those are two very different things, and I definitely had to recalibrate my expectations once I got a feel for the vibe. Unfortunately, I felt a little pervy reading... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Closer by Kristy Marie
There's just something SWOONY about a sweetheart of a hero who shows his fierce, alpha side when his protective instincts kick in. I adored this kind and loving hero; he takes care of everyone but himself, and doesn't hesitate to step in when our heroine is in need. Their marriage of convenience might not have... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Canary by Tijan 🎧
Okay, so this is going to be a weird 5-star review, but just bear with me for a minute, lol. I wasn't sure that I even liked this book for the first 30% or so - I was more fascinated than anything, and it definitely took awhile to wrap my head around the characters. This... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Attachment Theory by Kayley Loring
Grinning. I was grinning like a fool while reading this sexy, playful, and SWOONY love story - it is smart and funny and just so completely Loring. I loved every minute of it. Our hero is a sweet charmer, a guy who loves love and always wants to be immersed in it. When paired with... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Doctor Scandalous by J. Saman
A family of hot doctors? Um, yes please! This steamy fake relationship romance makes a very solid series starter - it's got enough appearances by crossover characters to keep returning readers interested, while still feeling like a complete standalone and the start to something brand new. The perfect place for new readers to jump in.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: On the Ropes by Kathryn Nolan
Have you seen In the Heights? This gave me the same kind of vibes, minus the singing and dancing, but add in some steam - lol! We've got our sweet hometown guy, the girl with big dreams who finds herself back home, a strong sense of community/found family, and a focus on inclusivity. Our heroine... Continue Reading →
