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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Falls Boys by Penelope Douglas
So I took the night to collect my thoughts, and I still don't know how to rate this - there's a lot going on in the story, and a lot going on in my head. Let's start with this: I'm a first-timer! I've been meaning to check out Douglas' work for years now, and this... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Taste by Melanie Harlow 🎧
This is one of those books that I was SO SURE was going to be an easy 5-star rating for the first half... and then the second half unraveled a bit. I absolutely LOVED the forced proximity, playful teasing, frenemies banter, chemistry, and blizzard banging. This hero is all kinds of sweet and caring, and... 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 →
COVER REVEAL: Put Me in Detention & The Plan
Two big cover reveals today, and I am SO excited for both of them! Put Me in Detention by Meghan Quinn & The Plan by Karla Sorensen are the newest installments in two excellent series of interconnected standalones. I've got details on both series and the new books below! I kinda hate the new covers... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Wish Upon a Star by Jasinda Wilder
What I wanted: An emotional story like The Cabin to wreck me What I got: Teenage sex ed class and sugary sweet love at first sight Those are two very different things, and I definitely had to recalibrate my expectations once I got a feel for the vibe. Unfortunately, I felt a little pervy reading... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Closer by Kristy Marie
There's just something SWOONY about a sweetheart of a hero who shows his fierce, alpha side when his protective instincts kick in. I adored this kind and loving hero; he takes care of everyone but himself, and doesn't hesitate to step in when our heroine is in need. Their marriage of convenience might not have... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Lie by Karla Sorensen
A smitten bad boy? Yes, please! I absolutely LOVED this hero, a guy who listens to the devil on his shoulder too often. He's moody, broody, tattooed, and talented - and he's a total softie on the inside. This one's a little bit enemies to lovers, a little bit friends to lovers, and a whole... 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 →
