    Cash by Jessica Peterson

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  small town ➺ cowboy romance ➺ ➺ found family ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ forced proximity ➺ one horse ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I don’t think this author is one for me. I tried all of the books in the series— I read them outta order 🤭 — but this author can’t make me feel a thing with her words. I don’t feel the characters have meaningful discussions as not much happens in the book. Everything it’s just so lackluster…  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Lucky River Ranch Series.

    Against All Odds by Corinne Michaels

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  accidental pregnancy ➺ not his baby ➺ second chance ➺ small town ➺ ➺ right person-wrong time ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I don’t recall if it was exactly 15 years later but it doesn’t matter, what matters is that Everett was still a complete lovesick boy for Violet even after years later. It was so unrealistic the way he was for her and cringey that I couldn’t continue this. I loved book 1 but this didn’t work for me. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the Ember Falls Series.

    A Good Book by Jewel E. Ann

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ coming of age ➺ he loves her but she loves someone else ➺ preacher’s daughter ➺ college ➺ it’s always been you ➺ disability rep ➺ set in the 80s ➺ high angsty ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I was loving this so much even when Gabby was being a bit insufferable in the beginning, but she did grow on me later on in the story, but then THEN Ben started acting like a complete jerk to her, saying the rudest things to Gabby. The way he treated her did not reflect the love he says he has for her for so many years. This would be okay if it had happened once…

    Here and Now by Corinne Michaels

    3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  romantic suspense ➺ single mom ➺ found family ➺ hockey coach + principal ➺ forced proximity ➺ cinnamon roll hero ➺ small town ➺ he falls first ➺ ➺ heroine on the run ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This started off strong. I was enjoying it a lot. Miles cracked me up a few times in the beginning but then his too sweet and too perfect attitude was annoying me. The mushy love talk just got too over the top for me.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book in 2 the Ember Falls Series.

    Chasing Shelter by Catherine Cowles

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  small town ➺ found family ➺ forced proximity ➺ romantic suspense ➺ ➺ neighbors ➺ single dad ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ animal rescue ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ So long. So repetitive. I did like this book compared to the previous ones, but the story does feel very repetitive. I got bored and felt like the story was dragging. I also liked Ellie but her character felt like a Disney Princess who likes to sing with animals.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Sparrow Falls Series.

    If You Stayed: A Haunting Second Chance Romance  by Brittainy C. Cherry

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  second chance ➺ amnesia ➺ childhood best friends ➺ failing marriage ➺ then and now chapters ➺ forced proximity ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Sadly, I found this book to be pretty lackluster. It didn’t capture my heart or touch me emotionally as BC Cherry’s books usually do. Not a bad book, it just lacked something for me. I loved how the author wrote the abuse of a narcissist though. Spot on! That’s the only part of the story that grabbed me. The romance was pretty bland. No chemistry at all. There once was a man who loved me, until he forgot every memory we’ve ever shared… Gabriel Sinclair would forever be my first.…

    Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  opposites-attract ➺ fake dating ➺ millionaire and his maid ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ forced proximity ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Lynn Painter has such a great style of writing. I usually love her books. Her dialog is always easy and fun to read. However, this time the story did not fill me with the butterflies and heart eyes that the author’s books usually do.  I still liked this though. Maid For Each Other was cute with all the pretty woman/ maid in manhattan vibes. I just  didn’t get how all the love came to be. There needed to be more from Declan and Abi as a couple. I was into the fake relationship concept…

    Dear Reader by Tate James

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  dark romance ➺ reverse harem ➺ why choose ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ step siblings ➺ fake relationship ➺ college ➺ cruel hero ➺ secret society ➺ suspense ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I’m always down for a reverse harem but this story was so lacking. I wanted more chemistry. More relationship buildup. More character development. The mystery plot was uninteresting and not engaging. And the spice was SO bland.  The FMC was also just an airhead who was too distracted by a pretty face and just too desperate to get laid by any of the guys. It doesn’t matter if they were cruel to her and walked all over her.  I seriously don’t…

    Severed Heart by Kate Stewart

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ dark romance ➺ age gap ➺ military ➺ suspense ➺ mental trauma  ➺ ➺ past abuse ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I know I’m the minority about this but this book was SO boring! It took me forever to finish. 700 hundreds pages of nothingness. It could be 400 pages shorter and yet I still think it would be boring somehow. I also couldn’t stand Delphine. She was an awful character. I don’t think I will continue reading the series.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Ravenhood Legacy Series.

    Pucking Sweet by Emily Rath

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  sports romance ➺ hockey ➺ why choose ➺ mmf ➺ reverse harem ➺ workplace ➺ friends to lovers ➺ accidental pregnancy ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Romance novels today are all about porn. And from all the high rates, we can tell I’m the minority about this. I prefer romance with more depth though. Emotional connection and a good plot is everything in this genre for me. The spicy is just a plus. I don’t enjoy when sex scenes are basically the whole story. But if smut is everything for you in romance, this one fits perfectly the bill.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the Jacksonville Rays Series. Each book in this…
