I have no idea who Lindsay Ellis is, so I picked this up solely based on the blurb. I have a definite soft spot for first contact stories, especially ones where the humans involved are not, well, exactly who you’d pick to represent humanity. “Truth is not freely given in our society; it must beRead the Post
Review: Something About You – Reese Ryan
There’s something wonderfully relaxing reading about mature adults. It’s not that they don’t have problems, but the problems are different than that of new adults and they tend to have more experience of how to handle them. The characters are each secure in who they are and what they want in life – at leastRead the Post
Review: Her Pretend Christmas Date – Jackie Lau
I love Jackie Lau’s books, especially her Christmas ones. And it’d be hard to beat this one, with its hilarious first-date-gone-wrong, opposites attract, fake dating, just-one-bed tropes – plus a dash of zany family antics, including a surprise gingerbread house competition. I had a big smile on my face the whole time reading this. “AndRead the Post
Review: Get It Right – Skye Kilaen
Content warnings: I have my issues with illustrated covers, but when I saw this cover on Twitter I just about melted. And it was absolutely perfect for this book and for Vivi and Finn. This was my first book by this author but will definitely not be my last! “Maybe there would never be aRead the Post
Review: Bitterburn – Ann Aguirre
Content warnings: Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a complete softie for monster boyfriends. I’m going to blame the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast which came out during a pivotal point of my childhood, and I’ve devoured as many BATB retellings as I can find ever since. I adored this oneRead the Post
Review: His Grumpy Childhood Friend – Jackie Lau
Content warnings: I could go on forever about how much I like Jackie Lau’s books. And this one is fake dating with a childhood friend! Delightful tropes, plenty of humor and wacky situations, and some delicious food, this is another great book. Charlotte hasn’t been on a date in five years, ever since she brokeRead the Post
Review: The Duke Who Didn’t – Courtney Milan
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: Her Big City Neighbor – Jackie Lau
Content warnings: I love Jackie Lau’s books and this one has my favorite things – tons of delicious food, plus the “grumpy one falls for the sunshine one” trope. With all that, it’s a pretty good start to a new series. Amy is basically the epitome of the sunshine trope – she’s so excited toRead the Post
Review: Finding Joy – Adriana Herrera
Content warnings: Desta, one of the main character’s names, means “joy” in Amharic, and that’s a very apt description of this heartwarming book. It’s very much a love letter to Ethiopia, its culture, food and people, and an adorably sweet romance between a native Ethiopian and a man with family ties there. There’s a little bitRead the Post
Review: Bottle Rocket – Erin McLellan
Content warnings: Every time I read another one of Erin McLellan’s novellas, I keep saying that this one is my favorite, and that holds true for this Independence Day-themed one. It’s ridiculously sexy, hilarious and perfect, and a good blend of the second chance and opposites attract tropes. “I’m so tired of being …” “BeingRead the Post
