Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne
Content: ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ drunken Vegas wedding ➺ small town ➺ western romance ➺ broody sherif ➺ it’s always been you ➺ banter ➺ ex-fiancé’s brother ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This book has a strong beginning. The banter between them was pure fun. I was sure this would be a solid 5 star for me but the minute they got together things got a bit cheesy for my liking. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read. It kept me engaged. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 4 in the Plain Daisy Ranch Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the…

The Night Prince by Lauren Palphreyman
Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ wolf shifters ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ forced proximity ➺ touch her & die ➺ ➺ love triangle ➺ golden retriever MMC & dark mysterious MMC ➺ alphas ➺ prophecy/chosen one ➺ forbidden attraction ➺ banter ➺ slow burn ➺ scottish setting ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Okay! Book one was really really good, but book two? Chef freaking kiss 😚 This will definitely be in my top 10 for 2025! Callum is one of my favorite MMC’s. He’s such a ‘touch her and you will die’ MMC, but deep down there’s nothing bad about this guy. Even when he’s having really STRONG Wolf feelings towards Aurora…🤭 but then there’s also Blake… gosh, he is…

Love Arranged by Lauren Asher
Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ small town ➺ fake dating ➺ billionaire ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ hero doesn’t like to be touched by anyone but her ➺ town’s Princess vs town’s Bad Boy enemies to lovers ➺ second chance of sorts ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I am sorry to say this but this book was a complete drag! 😵💫 There is just no character development, the characters also lacked chemistry as this lacked some serious emotional depth too. And there is absolutely no reason for the 562 pages in this book. But then I think it could be 300 pages shorter and yet it still would be boring somehow. The plot was so weak, not much to…

The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman
Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ wolf shifters ➺ enemies to lovers ➺ forced proximity ➺ touch her & die ➺ ➺ love triangle ➺ golden retriever MMC & dark mysterious MMC ➺ alphas ➺ prophecy/chosen one ➺ forbidden attraction ➺ banter ➺ slow burn ➺ scottish setting ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This is the exact kind of romantasy I love and want!! It was filled with good romance and just enough world building. My heart is really torn. I loved Callum. This man— oops, I mean, Wolf!😜— loves fiercely, he’s kind, noble of purpose and with such a good heart. A natural born leader! But I also loved Blake. Blake is dominant, ruthless, intense and deliciously feral. He seems…

Over the Moon by Laura Pavlov
Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ small town ➺ forced proximity ➺ ➺ forbidden love ➺ sports romance ➺ hockey ➺ he falls first ➺ athlete vs physical therapist ➺ secret relationship ➺ workplace ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I loved Clark and Eloise, the banter is really good, but there is nothing special here to be honest. The sibling group chat and the family dinners were also really fun. Overall, I would say that this is a good escape from the chaos that is life but there isn’t anything so especial about it either. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the Rosewood River Series.

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. 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.…
