𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• Christmas • forced proximity • praise kink • brother’s best friend • insta-love • I actually enjoyed this book, it was sweet and refreshing. The tension was really good. I just didn’t enjoy the ‘Mac ‘n’ Please’ chapters. They felt unnecessary and interrupted the flow of the story. I also think there was maybe a little too much smut, but that is a personal taste. Overall, it was a cute holiday read.  I liked the characters and the storyline. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Snowbound Secrets Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉: • friends to lovers • Christmas • fake relationship • small town • I’m sorry I tried to get those sleigh bells ringlinging ting ting tingling too but this was very slow moving and not very interesting either. Read 60% of the book and I still hadn’t smiled, or laughed, or snowed. I finally decided to throw in the towel and pick something else to read.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Fitzpatrick Christmas Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• sports romance • hockey • coming of age • fake dating • friends to lovers • it’s always been you • It was good but I expected something more romantic. These two were never in a relationship, only hookups, until the end of the book. Although, I loved the fact that they didn’t sleep with anyone else but them two.  This book starts as YA, but it spans several years, so I would categorize it more as a new adult romance.

3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• age gap (11 years) • forbidden love • taboo • grumpy vs sunshine • slow burn • summer romance • angsty • I felt the chemistry and enjoyed the banter, but the story dragged on at some point. Also, the way Daisy broke into Harrison’s house and blackmailed him into letting her stay in his house rubbed me the wrong way.  Overall, it was entertaining but it would be better if the book was 100 pages shorter. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the The Summer Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. Once upon a time, my buddy’s niece was a toddler…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:Christmas • road trip • enemies to lovers • grumpy vs sunshine • one bed • closed doors  The heroine was rude, stubborn, and completely unreasonable for most of the book. There is really no excuse for how she treated Will. He was doing her a favor and she either ignored him or was overtly mean. It was very off-putting. Also, nothing too special or interesting happened in the story. Lauren Richmond isn’t a fan of Christmas. Which is why she rarely makes the trip home to the Midwest for the holidays. After all, she has plenty to keep her busy—namely, her duties as a set decorator on a TV sitcom. But…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:age gap • he falls first • teammate’s little sister • grumpy vs sunshine • sports romance • hockey • found family  The banter and jealousy parts was A+ with no holds barred specially in the beginning. And the grumpy sunshine created great chemistry between the main characters, but there were a few times where I thought something was lacking, like it lost the intensity for a bit. However, I still enjoyed this very much and I totally recommend it.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Wildcat Hockey Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.
