Brimstone by Callie Hart
Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ fated mates ➺ vampires ➺ fae ➺ ➺ magic ➺ war ➺ royal hero ➺ found family ➺ take-charge heroine ➺ age gap ➺ possessive hero ➺ non-human hero ➺ mental illness ➺ cliffhanger ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Brimstone has me immediately sucked in just like Quicksilver did. The immersive, lush detail, and vibrancy of this world is amazing and Brimstone only helped expanded it, dove deep into the magic system, and added more layers to the characters. Also, I loved the addition of Kingfisher’s POV! I think it helped expand the story out and allowed us to learn more about the world too. But Carrion and his hilarious banter and…

Tempt Our Fate by Kat Singleton
Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ small town ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ forced proximity ➺ billionaire ➺ opposites attract ➺ age gap ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I wanted to love this book and gobble it up but the enemies to lovers wasn’t hitting for me. All the banter and the teasing just felt forced. The spicy scenes definitely hit though. Overall, an okay read at best. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Sutten Mountain Series.

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. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

Face Off by Chelsea Curto
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. Bunny Series: ❝We never joke about bunnies, Bunny.❞ We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn’t we?

Before You Go by Aurora Rose Reynolds
2.5 stars Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ one night stand ➺ accidental pregnancy ➺ neighbors ➺ emotional scars ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ For a guy who had a vasectomy because he didn’t want kids in his life, he was, suddenly, too eager to get married and build a family with someone he had just met only because she was having his baby… there is no tension. No angst. No build-up. Everything was just too sweet and corny for my liking. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the Before Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.…
