    Bound by Ali Hazelwood

    Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  fantasy ➺ dark academia ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ age gap  ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by this. I thought this was super boring and it didn’t seem to me like the main characters had much chemistry. Also, the male narrator’s British accent was not good and didn’t match the character well. Viktor seemed like an 80 year old man, and it was like a cold shower every time he spoke. Not attractive at all!!  ❝ I cannot help but imagine that anything originating in your mind would be a sight to behold.❞ A reluctant con artist and professor with too many secrets are bound together in Ali Hazelwood’s…

    If You Claim Me by Helena Hunting

    Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  sports romance ➺ hockey ➺ marriage of convenience ➺ best friend’s enemy ➺ found family ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I don’t know, I think Helena Hunting isn’t an author for me anymore. I just don’t feel anything with her words anymore. They’re just words cramped together telling a story with no heart.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Toronto Terror Series.

    Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  sport romance ➺ hockey ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ boy obsessed ➺ back cat vs golden retriever ➺ just once to get it out of our systems ➺ friends with benefits ➺ forced proximity ➺ found family ➺ NHL teammates ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Flirty, kicking my heels fun! Sooooo good! The banter was too notch. I laughed so many times and boy did I swoon too. I ate up every second of the reformed playboy falling SO hard for the only girl who didn’t want him 🤭 loved seeing them both open up more through their daily questions. My favorite hockey romance this year, hands down. Can’t wait to read…

    Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov

    3.75 stars Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  enemies to lovers ➺ forced proximity ➺ small town ➺ single dad ➺ grumpy hero ➺ found family  ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ They argue, complain and don’t get along….until they do. The banter between these two was SO GOOD. I loved their dynamic and how fun they were. The scenes with the characters and Charlie’s daughter Harper were so sweet and heartwarming.  The only reason this wasn’t a 5 star read for me is because I feel like Laura Pavlov has a formula for writing her romances. They do seem a bit familiar every time, but they’re always ALWAYS fun!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Blushing Series.…

    Bunny by Mona Awad

    Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ creepyspooky ➺ dark academia ➺ gory ➺ graphic descriptive ➺ magical realism ➺ mystery ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I’m not entirely sure what the hell I read but this book was not good. The plot was nonsensical. Many of the scenes were confusing and somewhat gory. Just too weird for me Bunny!! I could not finish.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Bunny Series.

    If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia

    4.5 stars Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  cozy autumn romance ➺ opposites attract ➺ friends to lovers ➺ Gilmore Girls vibes ➺ black cat vs golden retriever ➺ next door neighbors ➺ cinnamon roll mmc ➺ single dad ➺ slow burn ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Cliff Burke is the book boyfriend of ALL book boyfriends. He’s an amazing dad, he’s kind, he’s funny and he genuinely enjoyed working for Michelle’s smiles, and that was beyond adorable.🥹 He and his girls added so much brightness to this story!  Not gonna lie though, Michelle could be so frustrating sometimes because she was convinced she didn’t deserve love. And I wanted to be angry with her but her relationship…

    Bad for Business by Kat Singleton

    3.5 stars Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  enemies to lovers ➺ one-night stand ➺ billionaire ➺ black cat vs golden retriever ➺ she’s his publicist ➺ slow burn ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This was a solid 3.5 star read for me. I enjoyed the banter and tension of their relationship, but I felt like Camille really didn’t like Ryker for most of the book. I wanted more vulnerability, more softness coming from her, especially given their history of a one night stand. However, I did enjoyed their relationship and how it was built. Overall, it was entertaining.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Pembroke Hills Series. Each book in this series features a different…

    Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ sports romance ➺ soccer ➺ roommates ➺ coach’s daughter vs team captain ➺ he falls first ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ BORING. The characters were bland. There was no build up to the main couple’s attraction to one another. There story dragged on. It fell flat for me. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Gods of the Game Series.
