I thought it was kind of cute and had its good moments and I really liked Jake as a book boyfriend (he's wonderful) and that we got to read Penelope's story, about her PCOS and how important that representation is. And baseball is my one true love, so that made me happy.

But... there were so many errors when it came to grammar and sentence structure, and just the quality of writing and editing. I felt like, at times, I was reading a poorly written fanfiction that was equally poorly edited. It REALLY bothered me. I thought this had much more potential and could have been great, but it disappointed me.

Mia Sheridan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Her stories are always just a punch in the gut and always have my heart squeezing with joy. This was no exception. Jessie and Callen are the ultimate friends to strangers to lovers, second chance romance couple and I adore them. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first because I really don't like when the main male character is supposed to be a "reformed bad boy" but I fell for Callen and his story and the life he was trying to right. I ALSO was hesitant because the main character is a virgin and sometimes that can be... weird, like a conquest for the main male character but this was tastefully done and had an element of beauty to it. Definitely some trigger warnings for this book: alcoholism, abuse, depression, etc. I definitely enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author!

The only good remark I'm going to have is that I'm happy that a main character I'd featured with a disability in this book. Corey is a paraplegic and it was refreshing to know that there was representation in this romance novel. HOWEVER, it was just... not good. So cringey and not well written and frankly, quite boring. Not to mention that the main character cheats on his girlfriend, and the main female character knows this and goes along with it. Also, toward the end, there is a comment about another hockey team being "sissy men" that was just so uncalled for and unnecessary.

Every single one of the Bergman Brothers books have been great and I loved them all... but this one BLEW ME AWAY! I fell in love with Oliver and Gavin's story instantly and when I tell you I put my hand over my mouth and giggled with glee, I did many times! God, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book. You ever felt like an author wrote a book just for you? This was that book for me. It spoke to me. These two just had such a beautiful romance and story that unfolded, I couldn't stop reading it and smiling.

I love a food enemies to lovers, one bed, close proximity, grumpy sunshine book. But what made it even better was the Ted Lasso vibes. Imagine if Roy Kent and Ted Lasso fell in love, but better. The chemistry and the banter and the beauty of their growth and love is just perfection.

I also loved knowing that their siblings and their spouses (minus Viggo and Ziggy, of course) all got their happy endings and we got to see them in the future with weddings and kids and as one big happy family. I loved how warmly and openly and immediately they accepted Gavin into the fold, especially because he grew up not knowing love, but can you really expect anything less from the Bergmans?!

All in all, I was so happy about this and I urge everyone to read the series now!

Mia Sheridan really knows how to punch you right in the gut, doesn't she? I loved, loved, LOVED this one. Archer's Voice is still my all time favorite but boy, did this come close. I really felt for Ellie from the very beginning, as that is not an easy life to live - feeling like you have to do whatever it takes to get by and living a miserable life doing it because you don't see another way. She got saddled with this crap life she didn't ask for, but she was still an amazing person. Everyone treated her like garbage... except Gabriel. Oh, sweet baby angel Gabriel, how I love you. He's so perfect! Such a pure and innocent soul who just wanted to find his way and learn how to love but I just fell for his entire outlook on life. How does someone who went through so much remain so hopeful about the world? He seriously is an inspiration and I admire him so much. And l know he walked into that strip club so that they could heal each other. It was just such a beautiful love story and I'm so glad I got to experience it. I highly recommend checking it out (along with her other books!).

I don't truly know how I feel about this one... I heard rave reviews and I thought I'd give it a read. There really was no plot, and Jack really just did not redeem himself or truly grow, which I think is what bothered me the most. I mean, I loved how he was with Rose as she dealt with her sickness. But he didn't apologize or show ANY remorse for what he did to her (basically stalked and manipulated her). On one hand, I see his reasons and he ended up falling in love with her, but also, he should have just told her what had transpired and I think things would have been way different. And he wasn't just grumpy; he was a certified dick at times. It was... bland at times too, and oh my goodness, sometimes when they argued, it just dragged on and on. Like we get it, you guys disagree! Lots of unnecessary back and forth. It just didn't really do it for me like I thought it would? It just disappointed me.

Emily Henry does it again. She just has this way of making you fall in love with her stories and her characters and her settings, but most of all, BOOKS. Just when you thought you couldn't love books more, she makes you love them beyond what you thought was possible. Nora and Charlie's story was everything. I thought they had insane chemistry and their banter was top tier. I think the world building and character fleshing out that Emily Henry writes amd conveys to readers is unmatched. No one does it like her. Also, the family story surrounding Libby and Brendan and the kids, Sally and Clint and the entire town of Sunshine Falls made my small town romance heart happy. I really loved that both Nora and Charlie didn't want to have kids. So often in romance novels, having kids is a major thing discussed, like something every couple is just assumed to do, but I liked the childfree representation. Not every couple wants or needs kids! This was the perfect read and she is an automatic buy for me.

This was a cute and fun light read. I sped through it! It wasn't my favorite, and I thought it fell short of it's potential. It was very slow burn and nothing against slow burn, but this just didn't do it for me because the payoff wasn't worth it. It felt forced and they lacked real chemistry. And I know it was about these two being in dental school but wow, did they lay on the dentistry stuff THICK, but it just wasn't something that made me care more about the characters. It was very clear that Dan was way more into Harper like the entire time and what she did was cruel and uncalled for, despite it all working out in the end. Dan said Chris Evans shouldn't have been cast as Captain America?! Give me a break. I did like the anxiety representation in this though!

I loved this book SO MUCH! I'm definitely a romance girl but I wasn't too sure about the magic and fantasy of it but I thought it looked cute and interesting so I decided to read it. And I'm so glad I did! YES, I *do* know this was a Reylo fanfiction but I've never seen Star Wars so I'm not really sure who or what that is (I only know it involves Adam Driver) so I think I went into this book even more unbiased than most. Everything about it was just perfect! The magic, the chemistry between Reggie and Ben, Maurice the cat, Aunt Dru and her meddling ways, Nick and Sergeant Hotness, Gwen and her sex magic, Livia and the friendship feud, spells and smut galore - this book had it all and it was such an unexpectedly awesome time! I honestly didn't want it to be over. Also, Ben is one of my favorite book boyfriends now! Sexy with a filthy mouth but oh so sweet and protective of his Reggie. Definitely check this one out!

This wasn't my favorite of theirs. I don't think anything can beat The Soulmate Equation or Love and Other Words, but I wanted to see if this new CLo book would live up to the hype. It just didn't do it for me, for a variety of reasons. I did love the fun adventure and the interesting concept, as I've never read anything like it in that respect. But, despite the fun adventure, it fell flat for me. I didn't think there was any palpable chemistry between Lily and Leo and no signature banter that I've come to expect from CLo and their writing. It just didn't capture me at all. Also, Terry?! Huge jerk and I'm not sure why he was even on this trip, so yeah, I was super glad when he *went over* but... it was weird how everyone just sort of moved on and then didn't discuss it further? Like a death didn't matter? Lily and Leo had sex not long after and it just seemed like weird timing. Terry was a misogynist and was really annoying from the start. I don't know, it was all just kind of a mess and I thought it all could be better with the potential it had, but unfortunately, it just wasn't their best.
