With an adorably sexy hero and tropes that felt like they were tailor-made for me, it took no time at all for me to devour this Vegas wedding romance. I was immediately drawn in by the unique setup, and the chemistry kept me turning the pages. These two strangers have one intense moment together that... Continue Reading →
With angst so heavy that it's physically painful, this second chance romance is not an easy read - but it's certainly an impactful one. I loved it. It's very rare that I'm so engrossed in a book that I ache right along with the characters; that I cry when a broken hero utters a single... Continue Reading →

One of my favorite books of 2022 is now available on audio, and the audio is great! Funny Feelings was my first experience with Tarah DeWitt's work, and I have since devoured two other 5-star reads from her. This one holds a special place in my heart though, and it's one of the best friends... Continue Reading →

I had a pretty great reading week, with rom coms stealing the show! It's been so busy at work that I haven't been in the mood for anything serious or heavy, so I've been gravitating towards lighthearted rom coms - and that seemed to work out for me. I loved Rook to King, an adventure... Continue Reading →
Something new is on the way from Lauren Asher, and I am so excited! Love Redesigned kicks off a brand new spinoff series, so it's the perfect place to start for anyone who still hasn't checked out her work yet. It also includes a setting that we came to know in the final book of... Continue Reading →
Classic Pippa is back, and I am all for it! Quirky, funny, playful, and swoony, this best friend's brother, good girl/bad boy romance felt like the rom coms that made Grant a one-click author for me. I loved that it felt like the start of something new too, so there weren't a million characters to... Continue Reading →

I find myself unexpectedly intrigued by this blurb! I used to be a pretty big Vi Keeland fan, but my interest dwindled as her storyline conflicts became more formulaic. I've taken enough of a break from her writing that this blurb has definitely caught my eye. Unconventional meet cute, exchanging messages before meeting, strangers to... Continue Reading →
What kind of blurb gives away things that happen 90% of the way into a book? This author literally spoils her own book by detailing every major plot point in the blurb, and I am genuinely confused by that. So it’s not that I didn’t like this strangers to instant enemies rom com, but the... Continue Reading →
Banter-filled and playful, this was super cute. After seriously enjoying Holiday Romance over the winter, I was excited to check out Walsh's next book. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I figured it'd be similar in vibes to the rom com that stole everyone's hearts during the holiday season. And while the two... Continue Reading →
We've got two great covers and a fantastic blurb for Karla Sorensen's upcoming release, so I'm excited! Opposites attract, marriage of convenience, roommates - all winning tropes for me. This sounds right up my alley and the covers (particularly that gorgeous couple!) have me excited to dig in. It's been awhile since I've read something... Continue Reading →
This was so much FUN! Taylor calls it an "adventure romcom," and I wasn't exactly sure what that would entail, but it quickly became apparent that it was right up my alley. She's a new-to-me author who I've been meaning to try, and the striking cover paired with the intriguing blurb had me feeling like... Continue Reading →

Light and SUPER spicy with plenty of personality, this rom com debut had me hooked from the start. I loved the concept - single dad's new nanny realizes that he used to be her biggest OnlyFan - and I was definitely curious how it would all play out. It only took a few pages for...

An underrated trope, hidden identity romance books add tension and conflict to stories. The reader is often in on the secret, or they know that there's something yet to be revealed, so they anticipate the moment when the other shoe drops. That adds to the bingeable quality of these romances, and makes them more dynamic,... Continue Reading →
I'm just getting over a nasty cold, so I didn't get as much reading accomplished as I would've liked (since it was such a FANTASTIC release week!), but I still read a couple of great books. My favorite of the week is The Plus One, an emotional and heartfelt brother's best friend romance. It was... Continue Reading →
Check out this GORGEOUS cover! Every book in this series has had a showstopper of a cover, and Reckless is no exception. I've been absolutely loving this series, and I'm just as excited about this installment. Normally I steer clear of secret baby romances, but this is Elsie Silver, so that doesn't seem to be... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but I need these April releases to slow down a bit! We got an embarrassment of reading riches this week, and there's a whole bunch more on the way soon. I'm looking forward to checking out several of these upcoming releases, in addition to the ones I've still got on... Continue Reading →
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 →
With a fresh spin on a familiar trope, this sexy debut holds a lot of promise. I loved the first half in particular, which saw these strangers becoming instant enemies. Our hero gets the heroine fired, then she is forced to take a job as his maid/cook... and they both pretend not to recognize each... Continue Reading →
I was knocked out with a bad cold for most of the week, but one of the unexpected positives was that I watched an excellent new rom com movie on Hulu! There’s been a resurgence in rom com movies recently, but they’ve all seemed to have a twist. Maybe it’s mostly an action movie (I’m... Continue Reading →

With a strong focus on mental health and a romance that feels rich in its history, this quiet, contemplative love story surprised me - and I'm okay with that. I enjoyed Eddings' debut, A Brush With Love, and remember thinking that there was a ton of potential in her writing. While I'm not the biggest... Continue Reading →

I'm battling a nasty cold and spending most of my time watching reality TV, so a new recommendation list isn't happening this week. Instead, I'm re-sharing my list of single dad romance recs, because the trope seems to be more popular than ever! I often put together a new list of single dad recs in... Continue Reading →
Technically, this is a 2-week wrap-up, and it was a GREAT two weeks! I posted my March Wrap-Up last week instead of the weekly version, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how much things turned around for me over the last two weeks. I had more 5-star reads over the last two weeks... Continue Reading →
With a stunning cover like that, how could I resist checking this out? I openly admit that it was the cover that drew me in, and I was intrigued once I read the blurb. But it only took a few pages before I was hooked - the premise is unique, the characters are compelling, and... Continue Reading →
It's the busiest release week in one of the most jam-packed months for new books, and I'm not complaining! Though my TBR is crying and I'm going to have to make a few tough decisions on what to read on release day, I'm loving the look of this week's books. Take a peek at some... Continue Reading →
It feels like it's been forever since I've read a new Pippa Grant rom com, so I am excited! This one has tropes that are right up my alley, and I'm loving the focus on it being an "only one bed" rom com. I'm hoping this has the classic Pippa humor that I know and... Continue Reading →
After loving Float Plan and enjoying The Suite Spot, I went into this with a certain set of expectations... and it took less than two chapters to shatter them to pieces, lol. It's not that the story was "bad," but a major part of the charm of the first two books in the series is... Continue Reading →
Pretty stellar for a debut, that's for sure. With Tis the Season for Revenge, The Hating Game, and You've Got Mail vibes, this lighthearted romance is such an interesting mix of tropes. Our sweetheart of a heroine gets herself in quite the sticky situation, and she's most certainly not always in the right. I'm don't... Continue Reading →

I had a tough reading month, but it all worked out in the end! I DNFed around 20 books in March, not gonna lie. The new releases just weren't working for me, and I had to do some exploration before I found books that resonated with me - and that went very well! I tried... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With angst so heavy that it's physically painful, this second chance romance is not an easy read - but it's certainly an impactful one. I loved it.

In case you missed it! Hannah Grace revealed the cover for her upcoming book, Wildfire, this week, and it is fabulous! I absolutely love the personality, and the blurb has me excited to dig in. Icebreaker has been such a huge hit over the last several months, and I'm interested in seeing more from the... Continue Reading →
As much as I struggled in March, I did end up reading some EXCELLENT books! There may have been more misses than usual, but the hits were really good. I loved the playboy and playgirl roommates romance, The No-Judgment Zone, which was another phenomenal read from new author Ellie K. Wilde. The sexual tension and... Continue Reading →
We kick off a busy release month with a jam-packed release week! While March was a little slower than most months, April is anything but. There are a ton of new romances on the way, and several of next week's books are on my TBR. I'm going to have to make some tough reading decisions... Continue Reading →
I'm looking forward to this one! I'm still a new Ana Huang reader, but I very much enjoyed the first book in this series, King of Wrath, and I've been eagerly awaiting the next book. Well, it's finally on the way soon, and I am intrigued by this blurb! The cover is great too, and... Continue Reading →
Easy, sexy, funny - this is the kind of rom com you can binge like popcorn. I feel like single dad romances are everywhere recently, and I'm not complaining. I loved Duke's sweetness with his daughter, and there were some fun family moments. I also liked the meet cute, with an unexpected fake relationship sparking... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a great debut! I was really hoping this was going to live up to the promise of that GORGEOUS cover and the stellar recommendation from Ali Hazelwood, and it definitely came pretty close. Told in a mix of flashbacks and present day, we see the strained relationship of these former lovers as they... Continue Reading →

Wildly entertaining, this strangers to frenemies to lovers romance held my attention with ease. It kept me on my toes, and the chemistry just built and built with every scene, until it pulled me in like a magnet. I generally consider "boring" books to be the worst ones, because I'm reading to be entertained. And... Continue Reading →

Kindle Unlimited readers, this one’s for you! We’re just finishing the first quarter of 2023, so it's the perfect time to look back on the best books I’ve read in Kindle Unlimited so far this year. There is a GREAT selection of romance books in the program, and some of my favorite books of 2023... Continue Reading →
I spent way too much time scrolling through Twitter this week (there may have been a few interesting news stories, lol), but I actually did get a good amount of reading done. I tried the buzzy The Brightness Light of Sunshine, which I ended up loving. It's a quiet slow burn, with strangers to friends... Continue Reading →
Little bit of a bumpy start, but this had no trouble winning me over by the end. This heroine has quite the personality, lol, and her over-the-top brashness and overt sexuality had me uncomfortable with the age gap (21/31) for awhile, and also feeling like these two were decidedly in the friend zone. Which, yeah,... Continue Reading →
Tuesday may not be a very exciting release day, but Thursday is looking good! March has been a hit or miss release month, but several indie authors have books coming out just before the end of the month - and then things kick into high gear in April.

I've been loving marriage of convenience romances lately and they seem to be more popular than ever, so it's got me thinking about one of the more memorable ones I've read - You Can Have Manhattan! I fell in love with P. Dangelico's writing back in 2019, and this book remains one of my favorites... Continue Reading →
A brand new series from Melanie Harlow - I'm excited! I'm a fan of Harlow's spicy romances, and I've been waiting for her next series to kick off. And we finally have an idea of what it's all about! I'm loving the sound of this blurb - runaway bride turned nanny - and I'm sure... Continue Reading →

It's tough to develop an emotional connection to a couple when their entire relationship is physical, and that's where I struggled with this one. While I've been a fan of the series, this particular installment didn't strike the same chord with me. Nora is known as being a man-eater and an overtly sexual woman, which... Continue Reading →
This was an unexpected delight! I really wasn't sure what I was getting into with this debut, but I was willing to give it a try - and I'm so glad that I did. Quiet and heartfelt, this strangers to friends to lovers age gap romance is a stellar slow burn. I loved how Cal... Continue Reading →

It was quality over quantity for me this week, and I am completely okay with that! After going a full month without a 5-star read, I finally had one last week - and then another two this week! So happy. Yeah, I set aside several other books that weren't working as well for me, but... Continue Reading →
