As a romance reader, I’ve heard rave reviews for Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ books in the past, but hadn’t read anything by her until Dance Away with Me. I can tell you that the raves are well deserved! This story has so many unexpected layers and deeply moving moments. I was a bit nervous going in […]
Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen is a fun, feel-good read. Take a seven-times bridesmaid with a broken heart and match her up with the firefighter who just won’t settle down, then watch the sparks fly. Violet Abrams is back in the small town of Uncertainty, Alabama, after her no-good longtime boyfriend cheated on her. After […]
I’m so bummed that Beach Read by Emily Henry didn’t work for me. I’ve seen mostly rave reviews for this book on Instagram and elsewhere, but the story came out lacking for me. First, the characters of January and Gus read to me like new adult characters, not like established adults who are both accomplished […]
A Christmas read in the middle of spring AND a pandemic…makes perfect sense to me! 😁 An Alaskan Christmas by Jennifer Snow is exactly what I needed to read right now. It’s funny, it’s emotional, and it’s insanely steamy. In short, an amazing read for Christmas or any time of year. Workaholic surgeon Erika Sheraton […]
Sarah Morgan’s A Wedding in December has me wishing for winter coziness and dreaming of taking a trip to the snowy mountains of Colorado. In her latest, Morgan proves once again how expertly she writes relationships—the joy, the heartache, the awkwardness, and the unconditional love of family. Rosie and Dan’s whirlwind courtship results in an […]
It’s no secret that I love a good cowboy romance. But a hero who’s not only a cowboy but also a firefighter? A.J. Pine’s novella, Cowboy to the Rescue, delivers the goods! Clothing designer Ivy Serrano is opening her own shop in the small town of Meadow Valley. But luck is not on her side […]
If you’ve ever had a well-intentioned but overbearing mother—and had a consequently complicated relationship with said mother—this book is for you. Mom’s Perfect Boyfriend by Crystal Hemmingway is a quirky, fun twist on the romantic comedy—and is just as much about the family dynamics that most of us can relate to. When Crystal is laid […]
My holy grail of romance novels is sweet but sexy, one that brings on the feels as well as the steam. Petal Plucker is a holy grail romance! 😍 Dandelion (Dani) Wright runs her family’s Seattle flower shop, Buds and Blossoms. She finds herself in the awkward position of having a vase stuck on her […]
Whoever originally called Big Bad Cowboy by Carly Bloom a kinky version of You’ve Got Mail—you’re a genius and 100% correct! My ears perked up right away and shot this book straight to the top of my TBR because You’ve Got Mail is one of my favorite rom-coms ever. Big Bad Cowboy is the first […]
Can you believe that this is my first Christina Lauren book ever? I’ve had them on my TBR literally for years and even had the pleasure of meeting them at Apollycon 2018 (they’re lovely!). But this is my first read by them. Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating is a fun, super cute love […]
