Thank you to the publisher for a copy of Her Perfect Life. A story about Lily and her perfect life as a local celebrity/journalist with secrets of her own. I love all the twists and turns in this book and not knowing who to trust. I liked it was told in past and present timeline giving you a glimpse of what happened.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this sweet second chance romance. I enjoyed the journey of Malik and DeShawn finding their way back to each other. The added bonus of grandma and the pups made this book so endearing. I liked that Malik and DeShawn’s love was so strong and that with time, they were able to strengthen it.

Thank you Gallery Books for a copy of Before I Saw You. This was an emotional read about 2 strangers meeting at their lowest and forming a friendship. I love how Alfie was so resilient in the hospital despite being in a horrible car crash while Alice’s case was complete opposite. I love how determined Alfie was in developing a friendship. I love the time they spent in the hospital and how they communicated without seeing each other.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this fun historical romance. Tilly always felt as the less attractive and charming sister. Due to one night of sharing a room with Sullivan, they were forced into a marriage without harming her reputation. This was enemies to lovers with lots of banter and tension. I thought Sullivan was a great MC and so righteous. My only complain is that Tilly’s constant internally reminder about her being not as pretty and charming got a little repetitive.  I also feel like they left the death of Roderick unfinished as well as Lady X even though these plots played a big part of the story.

Thank you @berkleyromancefor a copy of Match Made in Paradise. I read the second book in the series, Finding Paradise, first so this book felt like a back story for me. Mia escaping to Alaska to avoid the media frenzy from the death of her older husband who was more a friend and mentor. Silas sounds like the perfect rugged Alaskan airman. I enjoyed seeing Mia adapt to living in Alaska and their mutual attraction.

Thank you @entangled_publishing for a copy of The Dating Dilemma. I loved the first book so I was excited to read this. This was full of laughs and both Lexi and Dyson were like able characters. Dyson‘e sisters were a hoot as well as the firehouse crew. I loved their fake dating and how their attraction building. I hope there will be more to this series.
