This book was hilarious, and there were so many laugh out loud moments from start to finish. Piper is so hysterical! She might be one of my favorite FMCs ever. Piper and Dev have such immediate chemistry and it's palpable and you can just feel it jump off the page, which I love. One thing I love is a good billionaire, fake dating romance and this one knocked it out of the park. The text threads in this book are everything, and really elevate the story and I was living for them. I laughed so ahrd I cried, I blushed because of the hot spice, and I swooned because of the romance between Dev and Piper. This was such a fun ride!

Thank you to Swati M.H. and Grey's Promotions for the ARC of this book! 

Ever since Kayla Martin's debut novel, I've been itching to read more from her as an author. Sprinkle All The Way was so fun and flirty and the perfect winter read. This might just be the most perfect novella I've ever read! There's a lot to love about this: former friends/neighbors, they haven't seen each other for years, small town, secret tattoos, second first chance, "it was always you", and so much more. Violet and Noah were just so adorable and so cute together, and there was just the right amount of spice. This is the perfect holiday read! Thank you to Kayla Martin for the ARC of this book! 

I thought the premise had potential, but it wasn't as enjoyable as I wanted it to be. The timeline was quite confusing, and I think the book relies on the fact that the audience would have read prior books that connect the characters, but I didn't (and I don't think others have) and it made it even more confusing. It felt like the same scene over and over, of him screwing up and her forgiving him. I love age gap romances but this fely disjointed because he's almost two decades older than her but acts quite immature. I loved the girl gang in this book and felt it was a highlight for me. The last maybe 20% of the book was great and made up for a lot. Overall, it fell flat for me and I wanted to love it more but just didn't. Thank you to A.J. Alexander for the ARC of this book! 

I think the premise of this book was really interesting and unique, but really fell flat for me. I couldn't connect with Maggie because she just seemed so immature to me and I felt like more than half of what she went through was just solely due to herstupidity and happened because of her, not bad luck. I also feel like the book just wasn't realistic; I understand that this is fiction but it was so far fetched. The book also didn't feel complete, like some things were missing. I really felt like this had potential but didn't live up to it for me. Thank you to S.C. Kate and Grey's Promotions for the ARC of this book. 

I did enjoy the poetry in this book, but do feel like it wasn't as great as her previous books and her writing has matured or moved since her early works. I still resonate and relate with a lot of the poetry, but I felt it was incomplete and I wanted more. 

What a beautiful book! If you love Shane and Ilya, then you are going to fall head over heels for Adam and Riley. This is a story about love, grief, sadness, mental health, healing, first loves, and second chances. While hockey plays more of a backseat role in this romance, it's still a a prominent in fixture in both of their lives. This book is so bingeable and I finished it in one sitting! It had me that glued from start to finish. I just love the way Rachel Reid writes, how she weaves such an interesting plot with lovely but flawed characters, and still maintains a level of humor, banter, and spice that make the story so amazing. I definitely recommend this book to everyone! Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel Reid, and Harlequin for the ARC of this book. 

This book is just so beautiful from start to finish. This book features Blake, who suddenly becomes the father of a four year old girl. His daughter, Maisy, is deaf and has been neglected her entire life by her mother. Meanwhile, he has had a few run ins with a mystery woman and imagine his surprise when that same woman turns out to be the mentor to his deaf daughter... and she is also deaf. Although they have a rocky start, it's clear how much chemistry Ellie and Blake have, and how much Blake adores Maisy from the very beginning. He is determined to give her the best life possible, especially after everything she has endured. I truly loved everything about this. I think the deaf representation is so good in this book, and I learned some things myself. Blake is a sweetheart and is an amazing single dad, jumping in feet first immediately and taking care of the daughter he never knew he had but loves so much. I loved the writing in this book; so many great little details and lines that really make the book. I cannot wait for the other books in the series! 

So I know cowboy romances are all the rage right now but this one was just so good. Cash and Mollie truly embody the hate to love trope, and I'm here for it. When I say they hated each other, they REALLY did. Slowly but surely though, they saw they weren't that different and wanted the same things. There's a lot to love about this book: cowboy, small town ranch life, enemies to lovers, found family, slow burn, no third act breakup, and so much more. I really like Jessica's writing style, as it flowed well and the story told was heartbreaking but beautiful too. I am really excited for the other books in this series because I think they have the potential to be so good. 

I have been waiting for Jax and Poppy's story and it did not disappoint! I absolutely adored everything about this book and I'm so happy I got to read it. Jax and Poppy have known each other for years, because Jax is Poppy's brother Cameron's best friend. Poppy has also had a thing for Jax for years, but he has never looked her way. But one night changes everything! I love the accidental pregnancy trope and this fits them so well. I thought their chemistry was off the charts, and Jax's journey was so good. He's such a sweetheart, and is so protective and caring. I like that Poppy seemed to really mature and grow, and they went on this journey together. The cameos from the family were awesome! The other characters were hilarious and added just the right amount of depth to the book. Karla Sorensen is such a great writer and I love her books. I cannot WAIT for Parker's story! Thank you so much for the ARC of this book!

Wow, I'm so sad the series is over but I am so excited I have discovered Maggie Gates because she is an amazing writer and I adore her books. I have to say, I think Fire Line might be my favorite yet which is saying something because Dust Storm and Downpour were easy five star reads and just so good. One of my favorite things that Maggie does is not write your average FMC; they always have such spunk and character and are so bold and brave. I loved Lennox's story; she's had a hard life and is struggling but she's fierce and strong and determind and doesn't take any crap. CJ is the perfect complement to her, because he sees the real her and loves her through it all, no matter her past. Their initial meeting and interactions were so good, and I liked the dislike to lovers we got to witness. Those Griffith men are just perfection! Maggie Gates knows how to blend the perfect mix of sweet, swoony, sexy, angsty, banter, and family. This series is incredible and I highly recommend!
