It's a mini review! I'm clearing out my review queue of all the books I can't seem to convince myself to finish, for one reason or another. That doesn't mean these are negative reviews, it simply means that something isn't compelling me to keep reading at the moment. Maybe I'll go back to them another... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Juniper Hill by Devney Perry 🎧
So bingeable, with a hero who is the sweetest man underneath his frosty exterior, this made for the perfect introduction to this small town series. Yes, I skipped right to the book with the tropes I was most interested in, lol, and I have no regrets. It's clear that the series is tied together enough... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Next to You by Hannah Bonam-Young
Featuring the SWOONIEST hero I've read in a long time (complete with sweet alpha vibes, a man bun, and a dad bod), this friends to lovers romance is filled with great moments. I absolutely adored the hero. I loved trying to puzzle out his feelings without his perspective, I loved the road trip aspect, and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: King of Wrath by Ana Huang
My first Ana Huang, and it was a good one! I can see why this author has become so popular - this was soapy and spicy, with a compelling marriage of convenience/forced engagement romance that develops between two strangers who are not very enthusiastic about the arrangement. Their relationship is a slow burn, especially emotionally,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese 🎧
I had to contemplate my rating for a few days, which is not quite how I expected this to go. I'm a big, big fan of Liese's work and I was very excited for her first book with a major publisher. However, most of my issues lie with the narration - and that's not something... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Come As You Are by Jess K Hardy
I went through a few different stages with this book, from "but I'm not Gen X," to "oooh I love the sound of that complex backstory," to "well this is surprisingly easy breezy." Through it all, the main thing that stood out to me is that I really enjoyed the story and the writing style,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley 🎧
Featuring a plot right out of a Hallmark movie, this sweet second chance romance has all of the holiday vibes. It's laidback and easygoing with a slightly boring feel - it was more plot-driven and less romance-focused than I was hoping, but there's a lot to like about the story. It definitely has that Christmasy... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Untying the Knot by Meghan Quinn 🎧
Devastatingly brutal yet poignant and hopeful, this marriage in trouble romance put me through my paces emotionally - and I loved it! Switching between past and present, we see the highs and lows in this couple's relationship, with the chemistry and connection in their early days punctuating the loss of a love that was once... Continue Reading →
MINI AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Sextuplet and the City by Misha Bell
It's mini review week! I'm clearing out my review queue of all the books I can't seem to convince myself to finish, for one reason or another. That doesn't mean these are negative reviews, it simply means that something isn't compelling me to keep reading at the moment. Maybe I'll go back to them another... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Honestly, I’m Totally Faking It by Amanda Gambill
There's just something so absolutely delicious about peeling back the layers of a prickly grump, figuring out what makes him tick and finding that gooey marshmallow center hiding beneath his beautiful but thorny exterior. And that is where this playful grumpy/sunshine romance shines! This one came on my radar out of nowhere, so I went... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Wrong Bridesmaid by Lauren Landish 🎧
Quick and spicy, this wedding-themed romance is focused as much on the small town drama as it is on the love story. It's a slightly different vibe than Landish's usual, still heavy on the spice, but a little easier and more laidback than expected. Our couple has instant chemistry before the heroine realizes who she's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Mistletoe Bet by Maren Moore
For me, this didn't deliver in the romance OR the festive department, which is all I ask from a holiday novella. It brings the spice though, if you're looking for something more naughty than nice. I've been meaning to check out this new-to-me author, so this quick and sexy holiday romance seemed like the perfect... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: How to Kiss Your Grumpy Boss by Jenny Proctor
So cute! This hero is more grumbly than grump, falling hard and fast for his girl - and her adorable son. I jumped right into the series and had no trouble keeping up, but the family-oriented farm setting added a special something to the story. It's light and exceedingly low angst, with an easygoing, feel... Continue Reading →
