    In Good Company by Kat Singleton

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  ex’s brother༊*·˚.  billionaire ༊*·˚. ༊*·˚. private chef ༊*·˚. forced proximity ༊*·˚. he falls first ༊*·˚. only for the summer ٭⊹•꧂ This started off strong. I was interested in the story but the minute they kissed the story started to go downhill slowly. Everything got SO cheesy. Also, five chapters to describe only one sex scene felt unnecessary to me. I skipped whole the scene. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Pembroke Hills Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. “No matter how much I want to, I can’t fight for…

Nothing in the book stood out for me. The insta-love vibes didn’t help much either. Also the male main character kind of gave me the ick. The cover and title are super cute but it was just an okay read for at most.  “Sometimes you get lucky and something perfect falls into your lap.” After getting ditched at the altar, every “I do” makes me want to scream. Which is a problem, considering I’m…

    Audre & Bash Are Just Friends by Tia Williams 

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  friends to lovers ༊*·˚.  black characters ༊*·˚. lgbt ༊*·˚. mental health representation ༊*·˚. toxic parent  ༊*·˚. complicated family stuff ٭⊹•꧂ This was a very cute read. I was rooting for these two the whole way through. This is a young adult, but I think people of all ages will appreciate this book as it goes deeper than expected. My only criticism is that the end felt rushed. The main conflict got solved pretty quickly. I needed more closure, especially with her mom. I also wanted a bit more time with Audre and Bash together with maybe an epilogue…? The audiobook for this was phenomenal with duet narrations and sound effects for things…

That final break up was also completely avoidable and annoying. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Forbidden Love Series.

    My Silver Lining by Laura Pavlov

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  fake dating ༊*·˚.  enemies to lovers ༊*·˚. forced proximity ༊*·˚. small town ༊*·˚. he falls first ٭⊹•꧂ The banter was great in the beginning but they fall in love too fast and the story lost all the edge for me. Also, I couldn’t understand the enemies to lovers vibes in the beginning. Why did Lulu hate Rafe so much? Just because the guy was at his brother’s house when she wasn’t even supposed to be at yet? She annoyed me a little bit.  I loved Rafe though. He barked out a lot laughs.  He was such a happy, easy going hero…  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Rosewood River  Series. Each book…

    Culpa Nuestra by Mercedes Ron 

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  step siblings ༊*·˚.  enemies to lovers ༊*·˚. forbidden love ༊*·˚. second chance ༊*·˚. pregnancy ٭⊹•꧂ For me, the worst of the trilogy. I am not happy with the way this story unfolded. It’s sad to see a trilogy that had so much potential in the first book goes downhill as the series progress. . . . . . I’ll start with what bothered me the most. Nick’s infidelity! This is something that has been totally ignored in the last 2 books as it wasn’t important at all. But surprise, surprise! Kissing someone who isn’t your partner is ALSO infidelity. And let’s not forget that this was the beginning of everything. “It…
