This was a beautiful book about healing. I love how Wren was able to heal from her divorce in this small town and discovered a grumpy neighbor, Anderson. I enjoyed seeing Anderson's growth journey, as he learns to deal with grief. They were great together and I love how thoughtful they were to each other.

Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of this book. I have mixed emotions on this book.
Here's what I liked:
- how supportive Isha and Rohan was with each other's dreams
- the idea of expectations from your family
Here's what I didn't like:
- Isha just kept making not so smart decisions over and over
- it seems like it was a 90s comedy - drunk people doing stupid things
The romance is pretty light on this and I needed that to be more developed. I can't imagine someone being interested in the other person when all the interactions is when Isha is drunk.

Thank you @macmillan.audio for a copy of this book. This was a beautiful debut novel about Madeline who is 25 and is helping her disabled father and pretty much being the sole provider. She has an opportunity to finally move out and learn to be on her own. My heart hurt for her journey with no close friends to guide her and her pressure to help her dad. The story is well told and I enjoyed seeing Madeline's growth.

I knew going in that this was a book for entertainment and I enjoyed this steamy read. I enjoyed all 3 of the characters. I liked seeing how Jethro and Joel both learned to more comfortable with each other and sexuality.

I read this out of order but didn't feel like I missed anything. I love the tension between Bianca and Enzo and the fun marriage of convenience for both of them. I love that their family has history and was excited for their union. This was a lot of fun.

This was a great m/m cowboy romance. I always appreciate a second chance and I love how when Brand and Hugo was younger, they had a connection. Both Brand and Hugo had personal issues that needed to be dealt with and I love seeing them support each other. Their love story was great.

Thank you @gallerybooks for a copy of this book. I am a sucker for housewives behaving badly and I am here for it. This one is set in well do to community with Paige coming back from LA after some personal scandal. Her daughters' school Parents Booster Association (BPA) is run by clicky moms. There's a murder in the community and it's the queen bee of the BPA. The story unfolds as told by multiple POV and each person has secrets revealed. This was so entertaining.

Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of this book. This was a great debut novel that covers Nar's rediscovering her Armenian culture and her developing relationship with Erebuni. I enjoyed seeing Nar's journey in herself and her relationship with her family. Erebruni brought in the series side with the importance of understanding your past (Armenian genocide) and I appreciate her self assurance. Erebuni's group of friends was a lot of fun too.

This was a good second story to this series. I love how protective Jethro was with Sienna and cared for her and not because of her fame. Their banter and chemistry was great. I appreciate that Sienna was a curvy MC that stood with her convictions. I enjoyed this book and will continue with the series.

This was a great M/M romance with lots of 🔥🔥 between Kieran and Roderick. This story is about Roderick coming back to Vermont after a tough relationship to get back on his feet and Kieran wishing to move out from his family home. They become not only roommates but coworkers as well. I love how Roderick slowly broke down Kieran's walls and they become so much more then friends.
