͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Kings of Sin #6╰⪼ reads as standalone While I do love a good rivals to lovers this one just fell a bit flat for me. I am not saying I didn’t enjoy it. I did. Especially Sebastian! I just think that this book had so much going on that the romance took the backseat in the story. I wish we had gotten more scenes of them together. More banter and tension would have definitely taken this reading to another level. I also think that the rivals to lovers didn’t feel as much as a rivals to lovers trope to me but more like a miscommunication trope. Maybe if…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: The Undone #3╰⪼ reads as standalone I am conflicted about Unbound. I liked the overall story but I don’t think the dual timeline was well done. I was often confused about whether or not I was in the present or past. Confused which times were happy and which weren’t. It was hard for me to focus and keep me emotionally invested.  The mutual yearning, and the emotion was well done though. Unbound definitely delivered on the angst. These two have been through so much in life that I often want to just give Paloma and Bennett a big hug and tell them both that they are worthy of…

Well, Every Summer After is still my favorite but this was pretty damn good too. Childhood best friends to lovers is one of my favorites tropes, I just love all the angst the comes with it and I think Our Perfect Storm delivered it so well!  The story moves from present to past moments between Frankie and George and it was SO GOOD seeing their relationship grow from friends to more. I was absolutely giddy when they finally started realizing their true feelings for one another.  Huge thanks to @libro.fm for providing an early listening copy. Your kindness is always appreciated. Best friends have one week in paradise to fix…

I’ve been trying this author every now and then, I really wanted to like her but I think she isn’t for me. I cannot connect with her stories nor characters. I am always SO bored while reading her books. It’s a struggle for me. I think it’s time to thrown in the towel and give up.  ❝I want to rewrite everything she knows about love —tear dow whatever wall she’s built —and show her it’s not just some fleeting thing. That it can be good, real, and that it can last.❞ A secret romance writer discovers that the hottest story of summer might just be the one happening between her…

⋆✴︎˚｡⋆  forced proximity ➺ second chaves ➺ the other woman ➺ reality TV ➺ Cruise ship setting ➺ slow burn ➺ forbidden ➺ high ➺ angst  ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I’m SO conflicted about this book. I did really enjoyed the chemistry and the push and pull between Finn and Ember, but I also did NOT enjoy the fact that Finn had a girlfriend for the MAJORITY of the book. It did really bug me. It made me feel guilty and icky for for being rooting for them and that was bringing me out of the story every time. But then the other woman drama is not much my thing in romance novels. I also…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: D.C. Stars Series #3╰⪼ reads as standalone ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone.

Too slow and a bit too cheesy. The MMC was just too much cinnamon role for me. The story needed a little more drama. ❝ Women need to stick together. If we don’t lift each other up, who the…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Heartstrings #2╰⪼ reads as standalone ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆  opposites attract ➺ forced proximity ➺ family dynamics ➺ workplace ➺ both weather reporters ➺ he’s radio she’s television ➺ anxiety and stage fright ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ This book started off strong. I was really into it. It was giving an enemies to lovers vibes, the banter was good but that ended too soon. Jackson’s feelings developed too quickly and almost everything after that was just too sweet for me. I couldn’t see much of the tension therefore any chemistry between the characters either. I did really enjoy Jackson’s relationship with this sisters though and Delilah’s relationship with her grandfather. Those scenes were really heartfelt!…

I found the romance to be very drawn out without much direction, and I struggled to stay engaged throughout the story. The big turning point event after Noah disappearance was very emotional and tragic and it explains a lot about his decisions but it wasn’t enough to make me love this. Overall, this book has an incredible potential but got lost in its own length and repetition. ❝ We better get back,” said AJ, disappointed. “Dave will think I kidnapped you.”  “Dave wouldn’t think that,” said Noah, taking her trash and stacking it on top of his. “He knows I’d follow you anywhere.” He said it easily, and AJ pretended…

I loved the way this book kept me guessing! The suspense kept building, and every time I thought I had figured out who did it, the story proved me wrong. A great story with a twist you’ll never guess! Well worth your time. Two women haunted by their sisters’ unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here and host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie. Nicole “Nic” Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, she’s just gotten a DWI, and she works the same dead-end job she’s…
