Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚｡⋆  college ➺ friends to lovers ➺ super rich hero ➺ sports ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I don’t know, maybe  I’m too conservative for this book. But a girl that offers blowjobs to get what she wants and act so nonchalant about it like this is a completely normal behavior, it’s not something I can relate to. The writing also felt juvenile.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book in the Cobalt Empire Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone.

Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚｡⋆  friends to lovers ➺ marriage of convenience ➺ curvy heroine ➺ cinnamon roll hero ➺ miscarriage ➺ mental trauma ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I couldn’t like Addison. She was so stubborn, and so closed off that it took me out of the story. She treated Luke very bro-ey. They just had no chemistry. I couldn’t feel any real emotional connection between them. While he was trying way too hard to keep her, all she wanted to do was be out. Luke was just a doormat to her. I also think the book needed more humor and less trauma. The constant drama of emotionally insecure characters was draining.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is…

What’s inside:⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ family dramas  ➺ inheritance games ➺ character-driven stories ➺ rich people problems ➺ coastal Rhode Island setting ➺ found family ➺ sibling chaos ➺ flawed characters ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ These Summer Storms is a story about how money, power and influence can be used to control and divide people. There are a few twists and turns that are shocking and surprising and a sweet and sizzling romance that I was completely invested in. I really enjoyed this book, in fact, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I was rather underwhelmed at the ending though. I would’ve loved an epilogue to show how everything worked out long-term. Still, the…

Tropes & Vibes:⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ coming of age  ➺ friendship ➺ summer ➺ sad  ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ What a loooong book! I felt like we just went in circles the entire time. More tell than show. We are repeatedly told how close the friends are but honestly I just didn’t feel it. But hey! I am obviously an outlier here, this book has just won best Fiction category on Goodreads so you should read it and see how you feel about it. Never let someone else’s opinion stop you from giving a book a go when you are interested. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by this.  #1 New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman returns with an unforgettably funny,…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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…

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.…
