This second chance holiday romance was originally written as a screenplay, and I could totally see it working as a movie. The constant bantering/bickering, fast-paced romance and overall storyline would work well in that format. As a book, I needed a smoother transition from hate to love. The story takes place over a 36-hour period... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Possession by Brynne Asher
I was in such a book hangover this week, it felt like nothing was going to pull me out of it - until I got 5 minutes into this twisty, suspenseful ride. The blurb really doesn't do it justice; there's a whole lot going on in this dark and delicious romance. I absolutely LOVED the... Continue Reading →
MINI REVIEW: King of Country by C.W. Farnsworth
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 →
MOVIE REVIEW: Puppy Love
I stumbled upon this lighthearted rom com when I was down with a migraine one day, and it made for a very solid watch! I loved Lucy Hale in The Hating Game movie (check out my review here), so that's what caught my attention first. I didn't watch The Flash TV show and my head... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver 🎧
When I'm already cackling before I've made it past the CW and dedication, I know I'm in for a good time. This was an unexpected delight, mixing humor, gore, and spice for an extremely bingeable read. It took no time at all to hook me in, and I ended up devouring it in one sitting.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Fake Santa Apology Tour by Julie Olivia
Naughty and nice with some sugar and spice, this quirky holiday novella delivers a playful, bingeable read. Going in, I wasn't sure about the premise, but I've enjoyed enough of Olivia's books that I decided to dive in - and I'm glad that I did. It's fun and festive, with a story that's truly one-of-a-kind.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Caught Up by Liz Tomforde 🎧
I savored this like the absolute treat that it was, and ADORED every second of it. Rarely does a series maintain its quality throughout multiple installments, but each book in this series has gotten better and better. I loved Mile High and The Right Move stole my heart in a major way, so Caught Up... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler 🎧
I love a good road trip romance, and this one grew on me more and more as the story progressed. It's a debut that I knew very little about going in, and that made the experience better for me. It's sentimental one minute and super playful the next, with a grumpy/sunshine dynamic that absolutely shines... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Love Interest by Clare Gilmore 🎧
I wanted to love this workplace rivals romance more than I did, but it still makes for a promising debut. I've heard a lot of good things about this one and the tropes are right up my alley, so I was excited to dig in. And the meet cute set things off on the right... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey
Instalovers, this one's for you! The instalove is STRONG with this one, with our couple falling from the moment they lock eyes with each other. They briefly (very briefly) met when they were teenagers, and their mutual crushes reignite as soon as they reconnect as adults. It's a light and fluffy rom com for the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Gossip and the Grump by Pippa Grant 🎧
Another very solid read from Grant, this small town romance was easy to binge in one sitting. I loved the initial encounter between these strangers, which showed the softer side to both. They let down their guards for one night and revealed pieces of themselves that they probably wouldn't have with anyone else. That makes... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Best Laid Plans by Karla Sorensen
Definitely some mixed feelings about this, but it really shined whenever it "felt" like a Sorensen romance. It's a solid series starter that has me excited about future couples that were introduced, and I liked a whole lot of the elements. We've got a grumpy football player, the project manager he can't stop bickering with,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Wildfire by Hannah Grace 🎧
I love a blushing, quiet hero who finds his perfect match in a spitfire of a woman, so this fling to more romance held my attention from the start. Russ is such an absolute sweetheart, and the tender, introspective romance at the heart of this surprised me in the best of ways. Much of the... Continue Reading →
