┊ Audiobook free on Kindle Unlimited ┊ 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:ery dark content, murder, terminal cancer, knife violence, narcissistic, mystery, short chapters Such a difficult book to read. The subject matter was disturbing. The storyline was hard to follow. Too confusing. The characters were not likable and I guessed most of the twists, so nothing came as a huge surprise for me. There are lots of fabulous reviews for this book so I can confidently say it’s a ME case. Perla Wultz lives with her husband, Grant, and their precious daughter, Sophie, in a gated Pasadena community. Affluent, sociable, and accomplished, Perla plays the part of loving wife and mother to perfection. It seems…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:college sports romance, football, single mom, two timelines I had high hopes for this book but I am disappointed. The back and forth past and present was not enjoyable. I was often confused between the timeline jumps and with the dual pov it was hard to keep track of where we were in the story. I missed out on them forming their forever. The story felt really slow for me. She lost her first love. I’d give it all to be her second… For as long as I can remember, I’ve had one dream. Go to college with my best friends, earn a starting position on a division one team,…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:forbidden romance, forced proximity, phantom x necromancer, morally grey hero, touch her and die, trials/battle royale, cinnamon roll hero for his heroine, gothic New Orleans Ahhhhh!!! I’m in love with another book character! It’s been so long that this has happened, you can’t even judge me. How could I not to? Blackwell is muah🤌🏻 I haven’t been this enthralled with a book in a very long time. So happy!  Phantasma was wonderfully written, and descriptive in a way that draws you in and wraps you tightly into its dark and delightfully delectable, sexy and sinful world. The spicy scenes are SPICY and are perfectly balanced by a well thought out…

How can you be okay about a brother being so disloyal to another? I am not usually a fan of cheating in books and it makes cheating 10X worse when it comes to someone so close to you. Specially a brother! So I was constantly repressing myself for being enjoying this so much, but I…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:brothers best friend, single dad, small town, unrequited love, forced proximity, man in uniform: firefighter, it’s always been you, grumpy hero, mutual pining All too Well was a great start to the series. Such a sweet, lighthearted romance. Was it a bit cheesy sometimes? Yes.. did I still enjoy it? Also yes!  The PINING these two had for each other was so good. The banter was also chef’s kiss 😘 There were lots of fun and funny moments but I did wish the angst had been a bit more pronounced. Also, all the ‘I love her, but I can’t have her’ got really repetitive after a few times.  That being…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:grumpy x sunshine, friends to lovers, illness representation, forced proximity, closed door Four Weekends and a Funeral comes with a unique plot and many clever references to movies and books. While I found it entertaining, I also thought the story was slow-moving.  Overall, I liked it. It’s a nice rom-com. I just didn’t love it. I also really enjoyed the ending!  A tender, laugh-out-loud debut romance about a woman who ends up in over her head after a little white lie . . . When thirty-year-old post-double-mastectomy BRCA 1 carrier and reluctant thrill-seeker Alison Mullally arrives at her ex-boyfriend Sam’s funeral to find that no one knows he dumped her,…

Her sister Paige convinces her to finally contact him though. The other is married Hannah, living in Egypt in the 1950’s with her British husband, trying to forget her past as a mother and wife in Hungary. Both stories will intersect at some point. I loved Mallory’s story. I hung…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:fake dating, love triangle, he falls first, one-bed, magic realism, virgin heroine, found familyCONTENT WARNING: bullying, death, death of a sibling, car accident, toxic parental relationship Get through this book was like getting a root canal without Novacane or like trying to tow a semi truck while riding a bicycle. A real s.t.r.u.g.g.l.e! I couldn’t wait for it to be over.  This was one of my most anticipated books of 2024 and I it makes me sad I didn’t love this. Don’t let my review sway you from giving it a go though, reading is something very subjective, so you may feel different about it. Read and see how you…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:single mom, tortured hero, two timelines, second chances, military rep, emotional, angst, mature characters, suspense Alone with You was very much a second chance romance with a unique storyline. It was powerful, emotional and truly heartbreaking. Truett was a shattered soul. My heart hurt for him throughout the book. I felt every emotion he was going through. The cycle of guilt…the shame…the pain he wouldn’t let himself escape…  💔 Gwen was such a light. Such a strong woman. Their pull was undeniable, making their journey all more beautiful. There was also hurt and pain but love too, so much love! The heartbreak and tragedy in this book is immense. Please check…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:rivals to lovers, Christmas, mystery, golden retriever X black cat, forced proximity, pining hero, he falls first, suspense, mystery, closed doors  I’m not always a Christmas book fan because sometimes they go overboard, but this one was so fun. The banter was great. The MMC is a charming golden retriever who was very easy to fall for, while the FMC is more of a black cat but I really loved how their relationship unfolded. It was entertaining and engaging. I really enjoyed this cozy mystery rom-com! Knives Out gets a holiday rom-com twist in this rivals-to-lovers romance-mystery from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter. The bridge is out. The phones…
