⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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... Continue Reading →

SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
No sophomore slump here! Love on the Brain is as deliciously swoony and addictive as The Love Hypothesis, with characters who are equally compelling. I devoured it in one sitting and LOVED it the whole way through. It's quirky and science-filled, with a relationship that's layered and nuanced. I loved trying to figure out our... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Good Vibrations by Kayley Loring
Deliciously weird and super sexy, this single dad romance had me laughing within minutes and smiling the whole way through - exactly the kind of low angst, funny read that I love from Loring. If you're new to the series, then you'll be missing out on some hysterical family moments (and two other great rom... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Cream and Punishment by Susannah Nix
The only thing cuter than that punny title is the sweet, cinnamon roll of a hero in this light and sexy second chance romance. I loved him! I'm new to this series, but I had no trouble jumping right in and getting caught up on the family drama, which has me itching to read more... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Well this was a sweet treat! It's low angst and laidback, with characters who are easy to like and a storyline that kept me turning the pages. I absolutely loved the cinnamon roll hero, who is unlike any I've read before - he's kind, supportive, and loyal, with a dad bod and the biggest heart.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Love at First Spite by Anna E. Collins
This had all the ingredients of a great read, but it never came together in a way that was satisfying, and instead fell flat. I was immediately charmed by the blurb - the storyline is completely unique, a little crazy, and I'm always up for a misunderstood grump of a hero. Throw in an opposites... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Between the Lines by T. Gephart
Honestly? I wasn't all that excited to read this book, because while I've enjoyed the series a lot, I just don't like this hero. Manwhore heroes can be tough for me, and even the heroine describes Tibbs as "gross" because of his "ho parade." Yes, those are actual quotes from the heroine. It's one thing... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Wedding Game by Meghan Quinn
Light, funny, and a little bit charming, this is quintessential Quinn with a touch of something new. It's tamer and more of a heartwarming comedy than her usual, leaning into the funny in the first half before shifting into a sweet - yet still very sexy - romance. Though it got off to a bit...
