    Quicksilver by Callie Hart 

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• dark fantasy • fated mates • enemies to lovers • fae, vampires, witches, humans • top tier banter • tension • possessive hero • stubborn, bad*as heroine • medium burn • I’m not sure how to even go about writing this review. There’s lots I want to say, but when a book has blown you away, it’s very hard to put feelings into words. Words feel simple into the magnitude of everything you are feeling. It seems like nothing you come up with will convey the level of awesomeness you just experienced, and every expression seems lacking somehow. So, lamely I will say this: Wow! As in W-O-W! To say…

    Between Now and Forever by Adriana Locke

    ⋆✴︎˚。 Audiobook free on Kindle Unlimited ⋆✴︎˚。 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• single mom • neighbors to lovers • grumpy vs sunshine • small town • I love adriana Locke but unfortunately I found this book a little dull. There were a lot of sweet moments, but it was a little slow and uneventful.  I needed more build up between them to really feel their connection and to add more fire, more passion, just more to the overall story. When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero…

    Can I Tell You Something? by Holly June Smith

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• Christmas • forced proximity • praise kink • brother’s best friend • insta-love • I actually enjoyed this book, it was sweet and refreshing. The tension was really good. I just didn’t enjoy the ‘Mac ‘n’ Please’ chapters. They felt unnecessary and interrupted the flow of the story. I also think there was maybe a little too much smut, but that is a personal taste. Overall, it was a cute holiday read.  I liked the characters and the storyline. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Snowbound Secrets Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.

    Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉: • friends to lovers • Christmas • fake relationship • small town • I’m sorry I tried to get those sleigh bells ringlinging ting ting tingling too but this was very slow moving and not very interesting either. Read 60% of the book and I still hadn’t smiled, or laughed, or snowed. I finally decided to throw in the towel and pick something else to read.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Fitzpatrick Christmas Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She’s the village pariah, the she-devil who left local golden boy Isaac at the altar…

    Like I Never Said by C.W. Farnsworth

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• sports romance • hockey • coming of age • fake dating • friends to lovers • it’s always been you • It was good but I expected something more romantic. These two were never in a relationship, only hookups, until the end of the book. Although, I loved the fact that they didn’t sleep with anyone else but them two.  This book starts as YA, but it spans several years, so I would categorize it more as a new adult romance. A lot can happen on a two-week trip to the Canadian wilderness. Auden Harmon learns her parents’ marriage is officially over. Expected. Accidentally gifts a five-hundred-dollar pen to a stranger. Unexpected. Neither…

    The Summer I First Saw You by Elizabeth O’Roark

    3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:• age gap (11 years) • forbidden love • taboo • grumpy vs sunshine • slow burn • summer romance • angsty • I felt the chemistry and enjoyed the banter, but the story dragged on at some point. Also, the way Daisy broke into Harrison’s house and blackmailed him into letting her stay in his house rubbed me the wrong way.  Overall, it was entertaining but it would be better if the book was 100 pages shorter. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the The Summer Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. Once upon a time, my buddy’s niece was a toddler…

    A Cross-Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:Christmas • road trip • enemies to lovers • grumpy vs sunshine • one bed • closed doors  The heroine was rude, stubborn, and completely unreasonable for most of the book. There is really no excuse for how she treated Will. He was doing her a favor and she either ignored him or was overtly mean. It was very off-putting. Also, nothing too special or interesting happened in the story. Lauren Richmond isn’t a fan of Christmas. Which is why she rarely makes the trip home to the Midwest for the holidays. After all, she has plenty to keep her busy—namely, her duties as a set decorator on a TV sitcom. But…

    Forever Wild by Rebecca Jenshak

    𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:age gap • he falls first • teammate’s little sister • grumpy vs sunshine • sports romance • hockey • found family  The banter and jealousy parts was A+ with no holds barred specially in the beginning. And the grumpy sunshine created great chemistry between the main characters, but there were a few times where I thought something was lacking, like it lost the intensity for a bit. However, I still enjoyed this very much and I totally recommend it.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Wildcat Hockey Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. The annoyingly handsome hockey captain glaring at me needs my…

    If You Need Me by Helena Hunting 

    3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:opposites attract • golden retriever X black cat mmc • enemies to lovers • sports romance • hockey • fake relationship• childhood crush • he falls first • workplace • plus size heroine  Dallas was everything you’d want from a MMC. I was a little annoyed by hemi being so hung up on high school things though. I just couldn’t believe she let it hold her back for a full decade. However, their banter/chemistry was really great what made this a good read for me in the end. The prom part in the end was really cheesy but also absolutely adorable!  Overall, an easy and fun read. I…
