𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:sports romance: hockey, boss & employee, forced proximity, rich hero, possessive hero, fake relationship, slow burn, grumpy & sunshine.  I feel like this book was too long, and for no good reason. Cringe dialogue, cringe storyline, cringe nickname, cringe characters!! The characters also have zero chemistry. He’s the hot, grumpy goalie I had a crush on in high school… and now I’m his live-in assistant. After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I’m done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He’s an intimidatingly hot, grouchy jerk who…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:friends to lovers, dark romance, criminal heroine, possessive hero, funny, suspense slow burn. Written at a 3rd grade reading level, there is just no build-up, right off page one the characters were already in love and the dialogue was just awful. I rolled my eyes so many times in such short period of time that it gave me a migraine.  “I would kill for you, and I have. I would do it again, every damn day. I’d turn myself inside out for you. I would die for you. I don’t just like you, Sloane, and you fucking know it.“ Every serial killer needs a friend.  Every game must have a…

First Lie WIns was slow and boring. I didn’t care about the story until about 70-80% when it picked up. A lot of things don’t make sense and are completely improbable. The main character was also completely unlikeable. In fact, there was not a sympathetic character in this book. But I found her love for her mother endearing. “There’s an old saying: The first lie wins. It’s not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game. The one that is deliberate. The lie that sets the stage for everything that comes after it. And…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:brother’s best friend, secret relationship, forced proximity, cinnamon roll hero, found family, small town, past & present timelines. If you are in it looking for a romance, get another book for you, you won’t find it here. I am not even sure this book was about Felix and Lucy at all. The whole plot of this book was based on Felix’s bigger sister refusing to answer a simple question, running away from her life and her fiancé days before their wedding and when she finally reveals it, it was not a big deal. Seriously, SO stupid!  Lucy and Felix’s relationship was purely just hookups. I barely remember if there were…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:friends to lovers, death/grief. I loved A Thousand Boy Kisses so SO much, and wanted to love this just as much but sadly this one fell flat for me.  I didn’t feel nearly as many emotions as I felt while reading A Thousandth Boy Kisses, if any at all, to be honest. I couldn’t relate to the characters. Found them annoying AF! Sorry, but I’m not sorry! 🤭 to me they were just teenagers acting like teenagers when they don’t know how to handle life and their emotions., too much drama! I also understand this is YA so maybe I am not the right audience to this one. Even though…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:billionaire romance, arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, age gap, slow burn. While I throughly enjoyed the other two in the series, this one fell flat for me. It was so unbelievably boring. There didn’t seem to be a true connection between the main characters. The dialogue was poor and unengaging, with no relevance to anything but word count. The plot was weak. A complete disaster. Was this the same author that wrote the other two in the series, I wonder! “I’ve made the mistake of trusting a man before. I’m not doing it again. You can call me your wife, but don’t expect to have my trust.“ Pretty rings can’t…

3.75 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:drunken marriage in Vegas, boy obsessed; fake dating, only one bed, sports romance: baseball, found family. This is my least favorite book from the series and l blame Kennedy. She was a total B for more than the first half of the book. She did not treat Isaiah well. She was selfish and unlikable. However, she eventually does get her head out of her a$$, and I am glad she did. Isaiah is so charismatic and extremely loyal, basically a golden retriever, he did deserve better from her. Overall, the writing was good, the story flowed well and does make you feel things. But Kennedy oblivious nature to…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:small town, opposites attract, just once and get it out of our systems, golden retriever mmc & black cat fmc, he falls first, found family. This was such a good read and my favorite in the series. I loved watching Nora and Charlie fall in love, especially because neither of them had a clue it was happening. Their banter was top tier.🤌🏻 Business Casual was a heartfelt and fun story. A perfect finale to a wonderful small town romance series. I throughly enjoyed it!  “You noticed.” “I always notice you, Nova girl.” Two opposites decide to test their chemistry with one steamy night together. But will once be enough? Nova…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:small town, friends with benefits, he falls first, single guardian, grumpy & sunshine, slow burn. While I enjoyed the romance between Fisher and Sage, I thought it was lackluster. The pacing felt off too, as it took way too long to really get anywhere. I loved the small town scene and the festival added depth to the town, but overall it was just ok. Even though I didn’t love this one, it has a lot of rave reviews, so I’d recommend checking some reviews out and deciding for yourself.  “I think of Sage and her relentless determination to make something beautiful with all that she had at her fingertips, in…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:age gap, dad’s best friend, forbidden love, sneaking around, sports romance: hockey, opposite attract. While I personally don’t enjoy that much of steamy in books, I did end up enjoying  the relationship between Aurora and Hollis. The  chemistry between them was really good. The age gap was very well written and the fact that Hollys was Aurora’s dad best friend made this forbidden love even better! I really ended up enjoying this book.  “I can’t watch you from the sidelines anymore.“ A standalone age-gap, dad’s best friend hockey romance. There’s no one more off limits than my best friend’s daughter. Peggy Aurora Hammerstein. The Toronto Terror’s unofficial team princess. I would never…
