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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Right Man, Right Time by Meghan Quinn 🎧
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Spring Tide by Ki Stephens
I couldn't quite bring myself to rate this any higher, but there was a lot that I liked about it. This new adult debut has been pretty buzzy, and it's easy to see why - the opposites attract vibes and giant teddy bear/football player hero were both definite wins, and I liked that the storyline...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Dash by Kayley Loring & Connor Crais 🎧
These co-writes have been a bit uneven for me, and the streak continues with this one. As a long-time fan of Loring's work, it's easy to see Crais' influence, and that has its pros and cons. Pros include getting the dude's perspective right, making this series feel like true sports romance, and (of course) the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: IOU by Kristy Marie 🎧
It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a college romance this much, but Marie did such a great job of making these characters relatable... even if the storyline is a little unusual! I've been loving Marie's lighthearted romances recently, so I decided to check out the one that always puzzled me: IOU. Yeah, the storyline is... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: Boyfriend Material by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I've had Boyfriend Bargain on my TBR forever, so it might just be time to move it to the top - there's a new book in the series on the way! I rarely read new adult romance these days, but Ilsa Madden-Mills is an author I'll one-click for. And that cover is great! We'll see... Continue Reading →
15 of My Favorite New Adult & College Romance Books
Whether it's the hot jock and the nerdy girl, the tutor and the troublemaker, the playboy and the virgin, or something a little more complicated, college, high school and new adult romances can be filled with tropes. Some of my favorite new adult romances are tropey goodness. Others are a little more nuanced, with stories... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Seren by J. Nathan
Maybe I’m getting too old for teenage drama, or maybe the bully to instalove transition gave me whiplash, but this just didn’t do anything for me. It’s the first time I’ve disliked a book by Nathan - the other five I've read from her have been great. We'll call this one a fluke! Our introduction... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy 🎧
I love a good girl/bad boy, opposites attract romance, so I was excited to dig into this one, but the blurb left out some very important information. As in, the hero makes a bet that he can get the heroine to cheat on her cheating boyfriend with him. That's a lot of cheating, which is... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Nothing But Wild by P. Dangelico
I started this before bed (big mistake, HUGE), stayed up WAY too late, and devoured it in a matter of hours. Prepare to fall for Dallas because he is slightly broken but so, so easy to love! Nothing But Trouble was really great so I was looking forward to this big time, even as I... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: So, That Got Weird by Amelia Kingston
HOLY COW THAT WAS GOOD. This was so much better than I could’ve hoped for. I really, really loved it. When I read something by a new author, I never know what to anticipate so I kept my expectations low and went in blind. This did NOT disappoint. It’s not your typical hot jock/shy nerd... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Enemies by Tijan
You know, I wasn’t sure I was loving this in the beginning. With a title like “Enemies,” I was expecting it to be intense from the start, with a slow build from hate to love. That’s really not how this story goes, and I am completely okay with that, because it is beautifully written. This... Continue Reading →
