𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:dark romcom • friends with benefits • touch her & die • one bed • close proximity • morally grey characters  Shockingly, I enjoyed this more than the first one in this trilogy. I know most readers will disagree but that’s just how I felt 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyhow, I still felt like the story was missing a plot, and it seems like this author does love an insta-love kind of story. There is just no relationship buildup. Too much spice with very little relationship development. But then there’s Fionn… sigh. And I really really liked him! 🥰  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the The Ruinous Love Trilogy. Each one…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:second chance • sports romance • baseball • found family • he falls first  This has a strong start, I was loving the angst, but once they started their friendship with benefits, the story lost a bit of steam for me. However, Brittainy Cherry did a fantastic job with the depression representation. I’ve never read a more accurate and relatable description, having struggled with it myself. Well done, Brittany! “You win some, you lose some, but no matter what, you keep playing the game.” ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Problem Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. As a female coach, I’ve always lived…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:enemies to lovers • runaway bride • grumpy vs sunshine • small town • book to cry over  Goooooood Lord, I didn’t think that this book was going to rip my heart out and make me sob like it did! Looking at the cover, I was expecting a cutesy breezy book. But to be fair, the authors did warn you that this book was different from anything else they’ve written. The only reason it didn’t earn all the stars from me was because I kind of felt that their relationship was rushed-ish. Maybe it’s me. But I still love this regardless! You better have tissue ready for this one. I…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:single dad • boss’ daughter • small town • the nanny  It was okay … just okay though. I didn’t buy the total recluse angle. Frannie’s 27! I think Mack didn’t treat Frannie’s right. Like the day that the guy stood her up because his daughter fell off the stair and didn’t have the courtesy to text Frannie to say he couldn’t meet her??? He just didn’t show.  I’m also not a fan of books where the sex scenes are thrown in at every opportunity they have just to make the book spicy. In order for me to develop the “feels” for the characters I need more relationship development and…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:grumpy x sunshine • forced proximity • small town • roommates • two love stories intertwined through one book  I loved this book more than words can say. The writing was beautiful, capturing the full spectrum of emotions. I cherished every word. One hundred highlights. One hundred moments in this story that is now imprinted on me. Bravo Ms. Cherry! “Life was hard and getting old was harder. There was no getting around that fact.” ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the Problem Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. Willow Kingsley is everything I don’t need in my life. She’s sunshine and chaos dressed in a…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:sport romance • hockey • insta-love • rich heroine • step siblings  Ick, no! The writing is so cringey. Just no! 🥴 couldn’t pass chapter 2!  😳 “Just sitting there talking to this girl. Looking at her. There was something big and scary happening inside of his chest that he couldn’t name or explain. Only that he wanted, needed, to let it happen. Somehow, he knew that she wasn’t a choice.” — It wasn’t that bad, but putting everything I’ve read together it sounded bad. 😳 “Bemused and horny and frankly, in awe, he watched her butt twitch the whole damn way to the bar, his cock turning stiff as…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:college sport romance • hockey • friends to lovers  • tutor vs athlete • found family • slow burn • mental health & learning differences rep I tried Unsteady and was underwhelmed by it but I wanted to give Unloved a try anyway, but I don’t think this author is an author for me. The fmc was so insecure. It was hard to be in her head and see her trying to justify her narcissistic “on and off again” boyfriend’s behavior. She came from a loving and supporting family. She is smart. Why she would put up with a guy like Tyler and be happy to serve as a doormat for…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:college sports romance • dive and swimming • praise kinky • friend’s ex⚠️: PTSD, mention of abuse Weird storyline. A main character with low self-esteem. No romance but lots of hookups. Long and repetitive. But hey, if you are here for the spice, go for it! “It takes him a while to a swear. When he does, he’s not looking at me. “Because sometimes I can’t breathe when you’re around.”  A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis. Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:mystery • drama •  dual timeline • set in the 80s and 1929 • dark atmosphere This books was terribly boring. Not at all twisty (you could see it coming from a mile away). Unsatisfying in every way except one – it’s finally over! Probably one of the worst thrillers I’ve read.  At seventeen, Lenora Hope Hung her sister with a rope Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that…

If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I read this book a couple of years ago and never posted a review on instagram or any social media of mine because I get so many haters.
