I've been waiting for Michaels to change up her formula of endless second chance romances (with gorgeous brown-haired clones on the covers), so this was a breath of fresh air. This fake relationship/marriage of convenience romance was just what I was looking for from the author - still an angst fest, but with an element... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Plan by Karla Sorensen
Whenever one of Sorensen's books hits my Kindle, I dive right in because I know I'm in for a great read. And this was definitely bingeable! I absolutely devoured the first half, loving this jaded hero and the grumpy/sunshine dynamic. Though, really, Erik is a complete teddy bear. There's tons of chemistry, some fantastic banter,...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Blind Pass by Teagan Hunter
This was an EASY 5-star rating for me, one of my new favorites from Hunter. It's a little bit Beauty and the Beast, a little bit Vegas wedding, and a whole lotta light and steamy fun. I loved these two together, and our insecure, vulnerable hero was such a lovable grump. The opposites attract dynamic... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Maverick Mogul by Lila Monroe
It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had a new rom com from Monroe… and I gobbled this one up in a couple of hours. Which, honestly, is how I’ve consumed most of her books. They’re like rom com movies come to life - reliably super low angst, playful, bingeable, steamy, and full of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Homecoming King by Penny Reid
Slow burn lovers, this one's for you! And the best news? This is a complete standalone, so if you're new to Penny, it's the perfect place to jump in. This HEA requires some patience and the journey to get there might make you want to shake some sense into the heroine, but I loved the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Bull by Deborah Bladon
Another light and sexy romance from this author - and a very solid series starter. I love a good "fake" marriage romance, and this was a fun one. These two have great chemistry, and I loved all of the bickering/bantering between them, though the transition from boss/employee-coerced wife to saccharine sweet love was way too... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Pact by Max Monroe
Easily this writing duo's best release of 2021, this green card marriage romance is both hilarious and hot. It's got some sizzling chemistry, and this couple is GREAT together. The further I got into the book, the more I loved it - this leads with the lust before slowly transitioning into the love, and the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn
Don't let that cute cover fool you - this is SMOKIN' HOT, with sexual tension dripping from every page. I was HOOKED from the start, and I devoured it at an alarming rate, even for one of Quinn's rom coms. And this IS a rom com, albeit a very tense and steamy one. I loved... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
Out of the 200 romance novels I've read this year, this might be my favorite one. Period. This is what I call a ROMANCE; an intimate read with a torturous slow burn that absolutely captivated me and a hero that every woman needs in her life. It’s incredibly romantic, with page after page of quote-worthy... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood 🎧
I loved this SO VERY MUCH. It's one of those books that left me smiling like a fool, with a full heart and a strong desire to start reading it all over again. The evolution of these characters from start to finish is intense, and I absolutely loved how everything came full circle by the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: With You Forever by Chloe Liese
I love the Bergmans! This was the sweet treat that I've been waiting for, one of my most highly anticipated reads of the year. It didn't turn out to be QUITE what I was hoping for, but I still enjoyed it immensely. This series of slow burn, neurodiverse romances is heartfelt and emotional without feeling... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Dating Playbook by Farrah Rochon
A former football star who is kind and caring? Sign me up! I loved the hero in this laidback sports romance. He is sweet, sexy, and easily the best part of this book. I'm having a tough time with my rating for this one, because it had all of the ingredients of a great book...... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Just Not That Into Billionaires by Annika Martin
There's something about Martin's writing style that just WORKS for me, and this was another great example. I loved the light, quirky feel and the grumpy/sunshine dynamic. I've also never read a book quite like this one - it's an interesting mix of tropes, with a dash of enemies to lovers, second chance, fake relationship,... Continue Reading →
