Review: Just a Little Married – Reese Ryan

September 25, 2021 Leave a Comment

Just a Little Married

This third and final book in the Moonlight Ridge trilogy is the whole reason I started reading it! I love Reese Ryan’s books, and I’m the sort of completionist who can’t just jump in with the third book, but I’ve definitely enjoyed discovering new authors. And this is the perfect finale for me with aRead the Post

Review: Best Laid Wedding Plans – Karen Booth

Best Laid Wedding Plans

I enjoyed the first book in the Moonlight Ridge trilogy so I was very much looking forward to this one, especially since it seemed to feature that sunshine/grumpy dynamic I like so much. While this is the second in the series, there’s enough backstory that it could be read as a standalone. Autumn’s bringing inRead the Post

Review: Homecoming Heartbreaker – Joss Wood

Homecoming Heartbreaker

Content notes: This is the first in a new connected trilogy by three Harlequin authors. I originally requested it for the Reese Ryan book (the last in the trilogy) but was intrigued that this first one was a second chance romance, one of my favorite tropes. Mack and Molly were instant friends from the momentRead the Post

Review: Waking Up Married – Reese Ryan

Waking Up Married

Content warnings: Reese Ryan is slowly becoming one of my new favorite authors. I love her characters, their banter, and their amazing chemistry. And this best-friends-to-lovers and fake-marriage book is no different! While I’ve previously read the second book in this series, I haven’t read most of the others, and found it relatively easy toRead the Post

Review: Secret Crush Seduction – Jayci Lee

Secret Crush Seduction

Content warnings:  Harlequin Desire is hitting it out of the park lately with these gorgeous covers! I loved the previous super-tropey book in this series and this one is no different. It’s got the best friend’s little sister trope with a bit of age gap (the hero is eight years older than the heroine) andRead the Post

Review: Ruthless Pride – Naima Simone

May 4, 2020 Leave a Comment

Ruthless Pride

I’m not much of a category romance reader due to its constraints, but I couldn’t resist this one after I saw that this book was by Naima Simone and the first in a connected series. While I haven’t read her other categories, I’ve read her Sweetest Taboo series, and this book is exactly what IRead the Post

Review: Temporary Wife Temptation – Jayci Lee

February 21, 2020 Comment : 1

Temporary Wife Temptation

CW: I’m not a big category reader, but the cover was so gorgeous and I’m such a sucker for contemporary arranged marriage stories that I just had to try this one. I’m glad I did – it’s funny with strong characters and a lovely romance. “It didn’t matter that he made her blood rush; heRead the Post
