3.75 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:➺ small town ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ billionaire ➺ one-night stand ➺ wedding planner ➺ opposites attract ➺ she falls first but he falls harder ➺ fling with an expiration date Was this a bit sappy?! Absolutely!! But I love it, anyways. There is tons of great banter. The town has many fun, unique quirks. Montana is sassy, I loved that she stood her ground and never settle. But what I loved even more was how hard Miles fell for her while absolutely denying what he was really feeling. Adorable! I am literally already SO in love with Blushing, Alaska, I cannot wait to read more of…

If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⎯୧ I have nothing against smut books when I’m reading a romance novel but when I’m reading a thriller I totally do! I just don’t think these two go together. The spicy scenes add nothing to the plot. It’s just SO cringy! Vi has…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:➺ single dad ➺ single mom ➺ found family ➺ instalove ➺ he falls first ➺ cowboy hero ➺ western romance  I love cowboy romances and I wanted to love this more than I did, but it just didn’t fully click for me. Ava repeatedly saying “my wild” was annoying AF, specifically because there was nothing wild about that girl. Also, the only connection I felt between the characters was physical. They did have chemistry from the beginning but it was more lust driven than an actual connection for me. The internal dialogue of the characters was repetitive and long-winded. Overall, it was okay… but it felt very surface level.…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:➺ sports romance ➺ hockey ➺ marriage of convenience ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ workplace ➺ two very cute bunnies This enemies to lovers was done so well. The banter was TOP TIER. The buildup between Alexei and Georgia was so believable. Alexei was the perfect grump turned absolutely soft for the woman he loved. His obsession with Georgia’s shoes was an absolute joy. Georgia was sassy, and honestly her comebacks just made my heart smile the whole time. Watching these two realize how wrong they were about each other was a fun ride! Gotta say, favorite of the series so far. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:➺ forced proximity ➺ fake relationship ➺ funny  ➺ found family Meghan Quinn is a hit or miss author to me. I think she tries too hard to cram humor in at every point in her books, that it becomes forced. She also adds so much unnecessary spicy scenes that story gets superficial.  That’s exactly what happens in Till Summer Do Us Apart. Weird storyline. Ludricous marriage camp. Forced humor. And too much spicy! A cringey read all the way through.  ❝ When we get caught up in ourselves and become complacent with our everyday life, we tend to forget how our choices can affect our partner. ❞ I got what I…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  second chance ༊*·˚.  friends to lovers ༊*·˚. angst  ٭⊹•꧂ This was an overly angsty read! It became more of a chore to me than anything else. It felt like the book would never end. The characters goes around and around and the story does not move forward. Constant flashbacks on every page to the 13 year old stage of life. Drama, drama, drama and more drama at every page. It felt like these two were never ever gonna get it together but I was glad when they finally did! “We belong together. and no obstacles could ever take away our love” For some, first love is a fleeting spark heralding the greater…

If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⎯୧ I just missed the joke here, completely! I did not laugh out loud one time. This book was sad and disturbing. I honestly cannot understand how a book full of domestic violence, rape, suicide, death, bullying, sexism and other dark subjects is considered funny. I am shocked by the high star reviews and people calling this a comedy. Not to mention this must’ve been one of…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:➺ 18th-Century Maine Setting⁣ ➺ based on true events ➺ pioneering midwife ➺ feminist ➺ mature characters I enjoy reading historical fiction every now and then and I thought this book had all the ingredients to make me love it— a midwife main character that was also a real person, who left behind a diary and the author used to write this novel —but sadly this could not hold my attention. It was very slow for me. Half way through I just stopped reading it. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad book by any means,  just not the right book for me. I would still recommend it if you don’t…

3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  single mom *·˚ sport romance *·˚ baseball *·˚ he falls first *·˚ found family *·˚ bookish FMC *·˚ golden retriever MMC ٭⊹•꧂ The dialogue was cute. The plot moved at a reasonable pace. The characters have chemistry, but the story was lacking. Flynn was the highlight of the book for me. I loved that he always acknowledged that Olivia was a mom first and included Greer often. The goldenest of golden retrievers! Overall, It is a good book but nothing really special stands out.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 4 in the Holland Brothers Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read…
