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 →
5-STAR REVIEW: The Other Side of Disappearing by Kate Clayborn
Seamlessly blending a soft, tender romance with a family-focused mystery, this felt like something new from Clayborn while still maintaining the immersive, bingeable quality of her writing. It took me a few chapters to get my bearings - there are four main characters and a lot to unravel about the true crime podcast - but... Continue Reading →
SNEAK PEEK AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smart, funny, and a little bit heartbreaking, this truly is a love letter to all of the rom com fans out there. I know there are readers who don't enjoy mixing angst or family drama with humor, but that is exactly what makes this such a nuanced, memorable read. It's a rom com first... Continue Reading →

3-STAR AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Happily Never After by Lynn Painter
Fast-paced and banter-filled, this started off strong before fizzling along the way. I loved the unique premise and the playful feel, which kept things moving fast. It’s not a long book, so it flew by for me. But the romance didn’t keep pace with the rest of it, and the heroine’s insistence that they had... Continue Reading →
5-STAR REVIEW: Dust Storm by Maggie Gates
I'm rounding up my rating, because I liked it, and I binged it, and I'm definitely coming back for more. The things that bugged me were pretty minor, and this is the closest I've found to something that gives me Elsie Silver vibes and backs it up with a solid story. The best part for...

SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This one HURT, in all of the most tenderly brutal ways. Several times, I caught myself unconsciously rubbing my chest while reading, trying to make the ACHE dissipate. That's how invested I was in this couple finding their way together, even when the path there was treacherous. Their every interaction was charged and full... Continue Reading →

3-STAR AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan
I’m genuinely happy that this story is resonating with so many readers, but I can’t deny that the romance reader in me is disappointed by the love story. It took a backseat to almost every other component of the story, so I’d define this as women’s fiction more than anything - and that doesn't really... Continue Reading →

4-STAR REVIEW: Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage
Surprisingly short and refreshingly easy to binge, I can absolutely see why this small town series has been such a hit. The friend group and community feel tie the series together in a meaningful way, and the softness of the romance made it a light and sexy read. Actually, all of my (minor) complaints about... Continue Reading →
5-STAR AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Redeemed by Lauren Asher
Easily my favorite of the series, and what a way to end it! I've enjoyed digging into Asher's first series now that it's been released on audio, and each one has had a gut punch of emotion tied up in the love story. This one is perhaps the lightest of the bunch, though there are... Continue Reading →
