I wasn't a big fan of this one. It felt there was way too much going on and all the characters felt very one dimensional. I would have like to see the characters more developed.

Why did it take me so long to read this book. I knew this book was about hockey but it really isn't. I love how the story showed how one event impacted everyone in the small town that is obsessed with hockey.
The narration of this this story was amazing.

Kennedy Ryan always knows how to make a romance that takes you on an emotional journey. Before I Let You Go, is a the love story of Yesmen and Josiah who has been divorced for 2 years. This book has a lot of heavy topics that deals with mental illness and death of a child. The story is so well told about the how a divorce impacts not only the couple but their children as well. I love Yesmen's friends and look forward to reading their stories.
Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of the book.

A historical fiction horror with a very atmospheric dark theme with High house in remote Mexico. I wasn't sure what to expect, the story is a little slow. I enjoyed the Noemi's character, a young socialite that has a strong opinions and set to find what is going ob with her cousin who is married to Virgil Doyle. The book is dark and twisty. A perfect Halloween read

Thank you @prhaudio @berkleyromance for copy of this book. I have been a fan of Adam's books and this one was no exception. I love the idea of this book with the center of Audrey Hepburn's movie When in Rome and how it was so well weaved into the story. Now I really need to see the movie.
The town of Rome is so special with everyone so protective of Amelia. The interaction between Noah and Amelia was so great. He was such a great grump MC.
I enjoyed the dual POV and the narration was great.

I have enjoyed this author's YA books and was intrigued this is an adult book with some steam. If you enjoy second chance, former celebrity, this will be a fun one.
I love the strong connection between Cameron and Shelby and seeing their backstory. I wanted more love develop between them now as adults. The supporting characters were great and I hope to see more stories of Shelby's friends.
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of the book.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. This was a fun YA romance with an element of magic. It was a road trip that forced childhood best friends turned enemies to spend time together. I felt the narrator's voice was a little old to be a teenager which made the story a little off.

Thank you @tlcbooktours for a copy of this fun historical romance. I loved the first book so much and was looking forward to this. This was fun with Beatrice and Will both not wanting to fall in love and have a marriage of convenience. I enjoyed their interactions but felt the parts of the book in the middle was a little slow. I appreciate how supportive Will was to Beatrice's causes and all the fun references to Shakespeare.

Thank you @avonbooks for AMLMC. Don't let this cute book cover fool you, this is one fun steamy rom com. This romance between Bee and Nolan is off the charts with their instant attraction from Bee's crush on Nolan as heartthrob from a boy band to Nolan being a fan of Bee's work on an adult subscription site.
I love both of the reasons for changing their image and how it impacted their attraction. The supporting characters were a lot of fun too and I hope there will future stories of these characters.

Thank you @smpromance for a copy of this book. Read this book if you enjoy:
- Age gap
- Forbidden romance (best friend's mom)
- String female characters
- Lots of steam
The steam pretty much starts from the first chapter and does not lighten up. I love how attracted Cassie is to Erin and how their relationship developed. The narration of both characters did an amazing job and enjoyed this fun read. The big conflict is hiding the fling from Parker who is the daughter of Erin and best friend to Cassie. For as a big secret it is, the big conflict was sort of a let down. Regardless, it was a good one!
