It's time for me to (finally) read Fake Empire, because this blurb has me VERY intrigued! I actually sampled Fake Empire back in December when I was checking out all of the books that had the potential to make my Best of 2022 list, and I really enjoyed the portion I read. It wasn't quite... Continue Reading →
With a great cover and an intriguing blurb, I'm even more excited to read this than I was before! Bonam-Young's first two books made quite the impression on me, so I am very much looking forward to checking out her next book. I love a good one night stand to more romance, and there's a...

My FAVORITE holiday romance (yes, my #1 Christmas romance!) is getting a follow-up, and I'm excited! I'm typically a reader who doesn't want to read much beyond the HEA, but I loved A Very Bossy Christmas a whole lot, and I would not mind reading a Father's Day-themed novella featuring the same couple. And that's... 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
We're wrapping up the first quarter of the year, so it seemed like the perfect time to look ahead to books I'm excited for later in 2023! There are some really awesome books on the way in the next several months, with new releases from some incredible authors. I don’t know about you, but my... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →

It can be incredibly difficult to keep track of all of the new releases each month, so I’ve put together a calendar to help you manage your TBR. The following books are the ones that are on my radar –... Continue Reading →
In case you missed it! This was the week of cover reveals, and I'm still finding ones that I missed. I didn't even post half of the ones I saw, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the newest from Lauren Rowe. She doesn't put out new releases all that often, so it's been... Continue Reading →
There's another sassy, sexy sports romance on the way from Kayley Loring and Connor Crais soon, and I'm excited! I've been a longtime fan of Loring's writing and Crais' vocals, though their co-writes have yielded mixed results for me so far. I have high hopes that this one will be successful, because the blurb sounds... Continue Reading →
A new book from Ella Maise is finally on the way soon! I am so excited. When I got back into reading romance about five years ago, Maise quickly became one of my favorites. She's written several great books, but her most recent (and I use that term loosely, lol) has been lingering in my... Continue Reading →
It's been way too long since I've read a book by Lawson, and it's time to remedy that! I'm not the biggest fan of trilogies, so I haven't been reading her most recent work - which means you may not be aware that I love her writing! It's a great combination of light and angsty,... Continue Reading →
The start of something new from J.T. Geissinger - I'm excited! I'm a longtime fan of Geissinger's work, and I've been impatiently waiting to see what she writes now that her popular mafia romance series is over. We did get a standalone semi-romance/not really romance from her in between, but this is the start of... Continue Reading →
I'm intrigued! I love Julia Wolf's writing, but I don't read enough of it. I find new adult romance more difficult to relate to these days, so I haven't dived into some of her recent series. And her rock star romances can sometimes veer towards the k!nky, which I'd have to be in just the... Continue Reading →
Sonia Hartl revealed the cover for her August release, Rent to Be, today, and it's got me excited to dig in! Brother's best friend, unexpected roommates, AND some fake dating? Sign me up!

This cover is so cute, and the blurb has me more excited than I expected to be!

This sounds fun! Today brings the unveiling of Helena Hunting's summer release, and it sounds like the return of the rom com from her.

Continue Reading →
I'm SO excited for this book, and this cover is delicious! All three books in Devil series have been outstanding so far, and I cannot wait to dive into the next one.

Check out this great cover! Every cover in the North Brothers series has been so unique, but this might just be my favorite one. And I'm really intrigued about what the story entails - the "blurb" isn't giving us much to go on, but anyone who has been following the series knows that this brother... Continue Reading →
Not gonna lie, I'm like a thousand times more excited about this lighthearted sports romance now that we know the hero is a virgin! I've been enjoying this series, and it's just interconnected enough that you get a feel for each hero's teammates, so we know a little about the dynamic in this one already.... Continue Reading →

I'm kinda confused by the blurb, but that doesn't dampen my excitement for the newest steamy rom com from Kayley Loring and Connor Crais.

Tattoos peeking out of his suit sleeve? Well, alright, I'm liking this cover!

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 →
I've been enjoying this series of interconnected standalones from JB Salsbury, so I'm excited to get a new installment!

There are certain tropes that are like catnip to me, and I'll ignore any red flags that pop up in the blurb. Am I a fan of second chance romances, especially ones with so much time since the breakup?
