    Good Grief by Sara Goodman Confino

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  set in 1963 ➺ Jewish rep ➺ witty humor ➺ meddling Ruth ➺ second chances at love ➺ fell-good story ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ Sara Goodman Confino never disappoints! I’m a big fan of this author’s writing style. Her writing is nothing short of beautiful, it is heartfelt and evocative. She has the knack to transport readers back in time, and it’s like you are there yourself experiencing that era along with the characters.  Good Grief was an exceptional read, but then I think all of her books are. It blends humor and witty characters with real life issues looking closely at the relationships between mother and daughter-in-laws, widowhood, grief and family. I…

    The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  fake relationship ➺ college ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ age gap ➺ nerdy hero ➺ friends to lovers ➺ boss vs employee ➺ sassy heroine ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ This book made me question a lot of things – firstly, about why it is so hyped, and secondly, what are others seeing that I am missing out? For the majority of this book I was bored. There was more tell than show. I couldn’t care less about all the academia plot. The setup for the fake dating was just ridiculous for two grown-up adults. And some scenes were just too unrealistic. It may get better. It may turn out being a cute read…

    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.

    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.
