If you are into books with lots of food references, this one is for you. This story had lots of great tropes from enemies to lovers to fake dating. I enjoyed all the supporting characters from Leo's brother, Gavin to Nina's family. The breakup act was a result of miscommunication which always annoys me but the whole story was a lot of fun.

Thank you @bibliolifestyle for a copy of this book. I always love books with weddings so this was right up my alley. Elise's friends are all getting married and she is a bridesmaid in the wedding and she is always a struggling florist. She meets Ben who is one of her friend's brother and they are attracted to each other. I enjoyed seeing them together. I thought her friends all seemed a bit self absorbed and kind of took advantage of Elise. I did enjoying seeing the aspect of the stress of being a bridesmaid and the Asian cultural aspects in the weddings.

This was a great holiday romance between Noah, the town mayor and Catalina who is a HGTV-esq celebrity. Catalina is everything that Noah doesn't like but they have to work together to build the town back together. I love how they were like oil and water until they get to know each other better. What was really great about this story is the community and how they all helped and supported each other.

Thank you @stmartinspress @macmillan.audio for a copy of this book. This is my favorite book by this author. I always love a book with a large inheritance and people fighting for it. In this case, Cam wants nothing to do with the house but his cousins all want a piece of the estate. The story is told in dual timelines and with multiple narrators and POV. They all did a great job with bringing all the characters to life. I loved all the twists and turns to the story.

Thank you @netgalley @smpromance for a copy of this sweet romance. Presley goes on a fishing trip solo after her boyfriend doesn't want to go. I love the small town vibe and all the characters in this story. Presley meets Beckett who is helping his brother and sister with this lodge. This story is a bit of insta love which I am not a big fan of but thought it was done well. I enjoyed seeing both Beckett and Presley's growth journey. I hope this story continues with Beckett's siblings as the focus.

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this Christmas story. This story is about 4 friends that form a tradition of celebrating Christmas together. The story is told between Finn and Hannah's POV between past Christmases and present. Finn is moving to LA and Hannah is set on continuing their tradition one last time and needing to fix the strained friendship between the 2. There's humor to the story and lots about found family. The story is really focused on the friendship but there's some romance too. I enjoyed both Andre Santana and Brittany Pressley's narration to this fun holiday read.

Thank you @bookmarked @netgalley for a copy of this thriller. This story is full of unreliable characters and the clinic location makes a perfect atmospheric thriller. We have Meg that goes undercover to the clinic as a patient to learn more about her sister's death. Of course, the clinic is full of celebrity patients and they are fighting some kind of addition. I appreciate how the author depicts what a patient goes through physically and physically with withdrawals. I really didn't know who the killer was and kept me guessing. I would say that you would have to suspend your belief a bit for the ending. 

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of this sweet romance. I love the start of this story with the chance meeting with Rooney and Jack and their one day in NYC. They meet up again a year later to work on a project that mixes science and art. I love how the story of fate and science is woven throughout the story. Their banter was great and I love seeing both of their growth journey. It was also fun to see Bennett and Olivia make an appearance in this too.

Thank you @read_blooms for a copy of this book. I read Vicious a few years back so it was fun to read about their son, Vaughn's story. Vaughn has very similar asshole tendencies like his father and I really didn't get why he treated Lenore so badly. I am not a huge fan of bully romance so this wasn't my total cup of tea. I did really enjoy the last half of the book as you learn more about Vaughn and his motives.

Thank you @libro.fm @dreamscape_media for a copy of Hemlock. I didn't read too much about the blurb of the book so shame on me but I was expecting more a domestic thriller. This was more a romantic suspense with the mystery of strange things happening at Maggie's new home. This story is told in dual timelines as you learn more about dark history of the house and how everything is connected. I did not enjoy the romance part of the story - love triangle is not a trope I enjoy. I did enjoy how the story unfolded and Brittany Pressley is one of my favorite and she did a great job with revealing the story line.
