    Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  meet-cute ༊*·˚.  long distance relationship ༊*·˚. cinnamon roll hero ༊*·˚. complex family dynamics  ٭⊹•꧂  ⚠️🅆🄰🅁🄽🄸🄽🄶 ⚠️∗ heavy life topics ∗ dementia ∗ death/grief ∗ cheating ∗ childhood abuse ∗ animal abuse ∗⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Your mental health matters. If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Not going to lie, this book felt like I was in a therapy session. So deeply emotional and portrays trauma in such a real way that was sometimes exhausting. Don’t get me wrong, this book is beautifully written, but definitely not a RomCom. If you are in it for the romance, forget it! This isn’t it.  The insta-love…

    Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  small town ༊*·˚.  second chance ༊*·˚. single mom ༊*·˚. forced proximity ༊*·˚.  childhood crush ٭⊹•꧂ My mainly issue with this was the pov. I just don’t get the feels I like to feel when reading 3rd person romance books. Also, there is only one narrator for both characters povs —a male narrator, it was confusing. I was with the audiobook and it was hard to follow. I just didn’t know who was speaking at the time or whose thoughts were those. At some point I just stopped trying. I want to enjoy my time and not suffer. Next!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Rock Bottom Love Series. Each book…

    Broken Whispers by Neva Altaj

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  arranged marriage ༊*·˚.  mafia romance ༊*·˚. age gap ༊*·˚. single dad ༊*·˚. scarred hero ٭⊹•꧂ Not a bad book, but the story could have benefited from more depth. Things happened very fast between the main characters, we didn’t have time to enjoy them falling in love. The spicy scenes could have used a bit more heat too and there was just room many for my liking. And, although, I liked how the author portrayed Bianca’s character, her backstory felt underdeveloped. However, the book was still an addictive read to me. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Perfectly Imperfect Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and…

However, this was a thrilling fantasy novel, so different from any vampire book I’ve read. Very unique. The ending took me in an emotional ride, I didn’t see it coming. Fantasy’s readers will definitely eat this book up. Soooo good!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Crowns of Nyaxia Series. “But even more frightening than his desire was mine. I…

    Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  love triangle ༊*·˚.  presente and past timeline ༊*·˚. mystery  ٭⊹•꧂ ⚠️ 🅆🄰🅁🄽🄸🄽🄶 ⚠️∗ infidelity ∗ Although the writing was in fact amazing and compelling, and it did have me turning pages, I wasn’t completely in love with the storyline. I’m doing my best at not being so judgmental when reviewing this. So bear with me! 😅 If life taught me a lesson is that you can’t judge others when you’ve never been in their shoes. Also, be careful of throwing stones, we all live in a glass house too. We are all human beings after all. We make mistakes, we make poor decisions, we make others suffer. The bottom line is, did you learn…

    Content:꧁•⊹٭ small town ༊*·˚.  grumpy hero ༊*·˚. found family ༊*·˚. famous heroine ༊*·˚. writer ٭⊹•꧂ The humor felt forced, making the scenes look stupid. Everything was just so over the top, the characters, the dialogue, the scenes… it was like watching an old episode of The Three Stooges. So cringey!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Story Lake Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. “The worst thing that ever happened to you is still the worst thing that ever happened to you. You don’t have to feel guilty that something even worse didn’t happen. That’s really fuckin’ stupid.” Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist…

I finished this wanting more out of the romance. “Keep your friends close and your lifelong academic rivals you’ve imagined kissing multiple times against your will closer.” At long last, Sadie has vanquished her lifelong academic rival — her irritatingly charming, whip smart next door neighbor, Seb — by…

False positive pregnancy test is very and I mean very rare. Almost impossible! And it only can happen in rare cases like testing too soon after a miscarriage, abortion, or childbirth or if you are taking fertility medications that contain…
