    Time Loops & Meet Cutes by Jackie Lau

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  magical realism ➺ groundhog day ➺ self discovery ➺ meet cutes ➺ insta connection ➺ women’s fiction ➺ steamy ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ What a fun concept! This book has a really strong beginning. I really enjoyed the time-loop aspect of this story combined with the romance. I also really liked that in addition to the romance, the book focuses on Noelle and Avery’s friendship. However, as the book was going I became bored with reading. The second half of the book lost my interest but I managed to finish, anyway.  Overall, I still enjoyed this one and would definitely read more by the author.  The “masterful, inspiring, and full of heart” (Ali…

    Wild Card by Elsie Silver

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  age gap ➺ ex-boyfriend’s dad ➺ small town ➺ forbidden ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ meet cute ➺ curvy heroine ➺ man in uniform ➺ found family ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I am so conflicted on how to rate this book. It started off very strong, there are good and funny moments scattered throughout the book, Clyde cracked me up many times and I did enjoy Bash and Gwen’s as a couple, they have great chemistry, but the whole ex-boyfriend’s dad trope wasn’t very well done. Elsie failed at create good angst to the story. I also found the end to be a bit cheesy, honestly, and the book a bit longer than…

    Wrangled Love by Ann Einerson

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  single dad vs nanny ➺ age gap ➺ brother’s best friend ➺ small town ➺ dirty talking cowboy ➺ girl’s group chat ➺  found family ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This was my first Ann Einerson and I really enjoyed. Wrangled Love was the perfect dose of feel-good romance. The banter between the girl group was top-notch. I would love to see future installments dive deeper into Briar’s circle of friends.  My only issue with the book was that there were some moments where I thought the story was leaning on familiar tropes a little too heavily, and repeated them often. I needed a little more between Jensen and Briar. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book…

    People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  opposites attract ➺ teach me ➺ he has tattoos ➺ experienced mmc vs virgin fmc ➺ small town ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I saw many readers complaining about this being too insta-lust for them, but I didn’t feel that way. Yes, their physical attraction to each other was instant, but I feel like their emotional connection was slower to form, which balanced that out. The flirty banter between them was fun and had me grinning a lot. The family dynamics was also so precious. And the emotional part of the story was deep.  However, I missed some sparkles in the writing sometimes and some fire between the characters. Also, the third act conflict…

    The Good Girl Effect by Sara Cate

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ single dad vs nanny ➺ widower ➺ sex club ➺ bdsm ➺ secret relationship ➺ age gap ➺ bondage ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ So many issues with this book. Let’s start off with the pacing. My god, so incredible slow. So boring! There’s ZERO actual relationship building going on. The author made the love for Jack’s late wife so strong that in the end the insta love didn’t work. And Camille?! Gosh, she was just too desperate. I couldn’t feel their passion. And don’t even get me started on how bad of a parenting Jack was…  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Salacious Legacy Series. Each book in this series…
