When college rivals reconnect years later and find themselves accidentally married... well, it certainly keeps things interesting. I loved the premise of this sweet, slow burn romance, which played up a lot of my favorite tropes. Playful enemies to lovers, Vegas wedding turned marriage of convenience, fake relationship - all great things. I also really... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Three Strikes and You’re Mine by R.S. Grey
Three strikes, and... Grey is officially off my one-click list. There was a time when Grey was one of my favorite rom com authors - if not my #1 - so it is REALLY disappointing to acknowledge how bland and generic this was. This 3-star rating leans more towards a 2 than a 4, and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Golden Hour of You and Me by K Jamila
So soft and sweet, with a hero who is all kinds of swoony, there was a lot to love about this slow-burning romance. Our heroine is angry and confrontational, actively trying to keep people out, and this patient, steady hero sees right through her. I loved that the premise felt unique, and I loved that...

MINI REVIEW: My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Things We Hide From the Light by Lucy Score
It was great to be back in Knockemout - this sequel did NOT disappoint! I think I liked it better than the first one, and that was very tough competition. There was just something immensely compelling about this wounded and vulnerable hero; he's a genuinely good guy who is in a dark place, and it's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Our Ride to Forever by Julie Olivia
I've been loving this sweet and swoony series, but I'll admit that I was a little nervous about this particular installment - and I ended up enjoying it much more than expected! We've gotten to know this group of friends pretty well throughout this series of interconnected standalones, so I had already formed some opinions... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton
Soapy and immensely bingeable, I can see why this surged in popularity so quickly. I loved the first interaction between the couple, and I was thinking, "this is ridiculous, I love it." That slowly transitioned into, "well, this is getting ridiculous," until I emotionally detached and was simply curious how it all played out. There's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Right Move by Liz Tomforde
It's always an amazing feeling when one of my highly anticipated reads meets my very high expectations, but to have it far surpass them? SPECTACULAR. After reading and loving Mile High, I was really nervous going into this, sort of a strange mix of excitement and dread that it wouldn't be able to live up... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Thirsty by Mia Hopkins 🎧
After hearing nothing but praise for this hero-centric series, I knew that I had to give it a try - and I’m glad that I did! Not only did the tone feel rich and authentic, but it’s also rare to find a romance that is exclusively told from the male perspective. It was quick and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Strictly Pleasure by Carrie Elks
Easy, light, and sexy - I devoured this with no trouble! While I enjoyed the first book in this series of interconnected standalones, I liked this one a whole lot more. I was intrigued by the relationship dynamics from the first few pages, and it continued to keep me on my toes the whole way... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Things I Overshared by Kelsey Humphreys
I love it when a great book takes me by surprise, and I unexpectedly find myself immersed in a love story that has my FULL attention. With a new-to-me author and a nearly 400-page book, I went in with low expectations - and this wasted no time in exceeding them. It's such an engaging, smile-inducing... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Jasper Vale by Devney Perry 🎧
When the hero's ex influences the plot from start to finish, it certainly puts a damper on things. Beyond the complete and utter lack of communication between this newly married couple, it felt like every time I started to get into the story, the hero's ex would be mentioned again in some way that would...
