As 2022 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea definitely makes the list. The Devil series has been fantastic as a whole, but I sincerely enjoyed this angsty, forbidden romance - it might be my favorite of the Devils. It's... Continue Reading →
We're already halfway through 2022, so I'm taking the time to reflect back on my 15 favorite books of the year so far. While all three books in the Devil series have been great, my favorite just might be The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. It's an angsty, forbidden romance with sexual tension that... Continue Reading →
We're already halfway through 2022, so I'm taking the time to reflect back on my 15 favorite books of the year so far. That list wouldn't be complete without the steamy small town romance, Things We Never Got Over. It's a beefy beast of a book that slowly simmered into something truly memorable, and my...

This was an EASY 5-star rating for me, one of my new favorites from Hunter. It's a little bit Beauty and the Beast, a little bit Vegas wedding, and a whole lotta light and steamy fun. I loved these two together, and our insecure, vulnerable hero was such a lovable grump. The opposites attract dynamic... Continue Reading →
I read McKinlay’s Wait For It last year and loved it - her layered, complex writing resonated with me, so I was excited to read more from her. Unfortunately, this was a total miss. First, the ENTIRE plot is described in the blurb; every part of the book is spoiled before you even begin. And... Continue Reading →
The Brit AND The Enigma are 100% required reading prior to this book. And if you want to go into The Resurrection *truly* blind, then this isn’t the review for you. Phew. What a WILD ride! Malpas clearly left plenty of breadcrumbs in the first two books, because this masterfully sews two different love stories... Continue Reading →
It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had a new rom com from Monroe… and I gobbled this one up in a couple of hours. Which, honestly, is how I’ve consumed most of her books. They’re like rom com movies come to life - reliably super low angst, playful, bingeable, steamy, and full of... Continue Reading →
Easiest 5-star rating I've given in awhile - I absolutely loved it! This was nothing like I was expecting and everything I wanted all at once; an unpredictable, bingeable ride that had me turning the pages all day long. I loved the chemistry between these two, and I love peeling back their layers bit by... Continue Reading →
The only thing cuter than that punny title is the sweet, cinnamon roll of a hero in this light and sexy second chance romance. I loved him! I'm new to this series, but I had no trouble jumping right in and getting caught up on the family drama, which has me itching to read more... Continue Reading →
This was super cute, but not compelling enough to hold my interest the whole way through. If you're looking for a low angst, sweet, closed door romance (a few sexy kisses that we know lead to more), then this might be right up your alley. There's nothing that I didn't like about the story, there... Continue Reading →
This is one of those books that feels entirely too long at the start, just right in the middle, and not long enough by the end. I loved it! While I think the story might be too slow-paced at the beginning and there's a LOT of focus on the small town feel, it's those quieter... Continue Reading →
I've read and enjoyed nearly every book Lauren Layne has written, but this one might be my least favorite. There were SO MANY things that bugged me about the story, so every time the lighthearted banter started to pull me in, something would rub me the wrong way. We don't get the hero's perspective and... Continue Reading →
I'm sad to see this series come to an end, but this steamy romance wrapped everything up with a neat little bow. Did I love this couple? Not particularly, but I didn't dislike them either. This was the first book in the series that dragged for me; there was just so much other stuff going... Continue Reading →
Sign me up for more from this writing duo - this was a great series starter. I’ve been a longtime fan of Loring’s writing and Crais’ voice, so I couldn’t wait to see what their first book together was like. And it was good! This definitely felt like it had a little more male influence,... Continue Reading →
Well this was a sweet treat! It's low angst and laidback, with characters who are easy to like and a storyline that kept me turning the pages. I absolutely loved the cinnamon roll hero, who is unlike any I've read before - he's kind, supportive, and loyal, with a dad bod and the biggest heart.... Continue Reading →
Not one of my favorites from the author, but the main reason this isn't getting a higher rating from me is that the blurb gives away the ENTIRE plot. If something happens 75% of the way into a book, it really shouldn't be in the blurb. Here I was expecting a one night stand/accidental pregnancy... Continue Reading →
This had all the ingredients of a great read, but it never came together in a way that was satisfying, and instead fell flat. I was immediately charmed by the blurb - the storyline is completely unique, a little crazy, and I'm always up for a misunderstood grump of a hero. Throw in an opposites... Continue Reading →
Absolutely filthy from start to finish, this fling to more romance is HOT, and the audio version just takes things up a notch. I’ve read about 250 romance novels in the last year, and this audiobook still made me look over my shoulder to make sure no one was listening, lol. Because, yeah, it’s sizzling.... Continue Reading →
So, here's the thing. This wasn't bad, but I was looking forward to a playful, enemies to lovers-style, neighbors romance (as promised by the blurb), and that lasted for all of twentyish pages before it turned into a sugary sweet survival romance. I wanted the neighbors to lovers romance, the passing of notes and the... Continue Reading →
