Review: Pining Over You – J.N. Welsh

December 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

Pining Over You

Content warnings: When I saw this gorgeous cover in the author’s newsletter, I had to go check out this book. And, ok, this is like Christmas overload, but in a very good way. It’s a small-town, childhood friends, second-chance holiday romance. First off, we’ve got two characters named Sasha Merry and Rodney Chestnut (I KNOW).Read the Post

Review: Daddy Crush – A. Anders

December 4, 2020 Leave a Comment

Daddy Crush

Content warnings:  Age gap isn’t one of my personal favorite tropes, but when it’s done really well, oof. After hearing all over Twitter how steamy this book was, I decided to check it out myself and I’m glad I did. “Chemistry with an older, more mature guy who knows what he’s doing in the bedRead the Post

Review: Party Favors – Erin McLellan

November 25, 2020 Comment : 1

Party Favors

I adore this series. It’s adorable, kinky and sex-positive and I have loved every single one of these couples over the past year. This is the fourth in the holiday-themed series, and while it could be read as a stand-alone, you’d miss a lot of the backstory (and in-jokes) with the other couples. Amanda mayRead the Post

Review: Written in the Stars – Alexandria Bellefleur

November 10, 2020 Comment : 1

Written in the Stars

Content warnings: First off, that cover is GORGEOUS. A Pride & Prejudice-inspired, fake-dating, grumpy/sunshine, opposites-attract wlw romance? Yes, please! It’s an absolutely delicious trope sundae and I absolutely gobbled this book up. “I think it’s nice,” Elle argued. “If you don’t believe in love, what’s left to believe in?” Darcy tongue poked against the insideRead the Post

Review: The Duke Who Didn’t – Courtney Milan

September 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

The Duke Who Didn't

Content warnings: TLDR: Look, it’s a surprise new Courtney Milan book in 2020. Go buy it, because trust me, you need it. I have sung the praises of Courtney Milan multiple times before, so it’s probably no surprise that I also absolutely loved this childhood friends to lovers book. It’s seriously a masterclass in fluffyRead the Post

Review: Don’t Hex and Drive – Juliette Cross

September 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

Don't Hex and Drive

Content warnings: The second in the Stay a Spell series, this book features Isadora, another one of the Savoie sisters. Like the rest of her sisters, she’s a witch, and she’s specifically a Conduit, which means she can heal people using her magic. Isadora is very much a homebody, content in her greenhouse and withRead the Post

Review: Here to Stay – Adriana Herrera

August 25, 2020 Comment : 1

Here to Stay

Content warnings: I’ve enjoyed every single one of Ms. Herrera’s books, and this one is no exception. From her love of NYC to her relatable characters to the FEELS, this book is a treat! Julia left her Dominican family in NYC to follow her boyfriend to Dallas… only for him to dump her and moveRead the Post

Review: Deal with the Devil – Kit Rocha

August 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

Deal with the Devil

I’ve been reading Kit Rocha’s books for a long time, and there’s certain things I expect from them: amazing found families, strong and fierce heroines, and a nail-bitingly good plot. So it’s no surprise that their first traditionally published book has all that, plus the sunshine/grumpy trope, a post-apocalyptic road trip, and multiple discussions ofRead the Post

Review: A Touch of Stone and Snow – Milla Vane

July 24, 2020 Comment : 1

A Touch of Stone and Snow

Content warnings: I was absolutely blown away by the first book in the series and its angry, hurting characters, and expected more of the same from this book. Instead, I got an achingly sweet second-chance romance with kindhearted characters surrounded by a whole lot of awfulness, and it’s certainly one of the best books I’llRead the Post

Review: Forbidden Desire – Robin Lovett

July 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

Forbidden Desire

Content warnings: If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen me flail wildly over this absolutely bananapants scifi erotica series before. It’s absolute bonkers sex planet shenanigans, and it’s hard for me to express how much I love the craziness. And if anything, this book takes the crazy to a whole new level. Niva’sRead the Post
