This book is incredible from start to finish! First of all, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and immediately drew me in. This book features fake dating, wedding crashing, reverse age gap, rom com vibes, tropical location, he falls first, single mom, secret identity, and so much more! This book truly has everything you could ever want. The banter in this was so good. I was genuinely belly laughing so many times. It's hilarious! It's also swoony and romantic, and I was kicking my feet and giggling. The spice in this? Top tier, perfection, no notes. I loved that the FMC was out for revenge but slowly finds so much more than she bargained for. This book had me engaged from the very first page to the last, and I couldn't put it down. I seriously want this to be turned into a movie! 

So worth the almost two year wait! Absolutely no notes because this was perfection. This book has it all! Opposites attract, black cat/golden retriever, secret relationship, "just one time", tattoo artist/businessman turned farmworker, small town romance, and so much more. Charlie and Nova had some serious chemistry in the previous Lovelight books and I just KNEW their story would be so good. I wasn't disappointed! Flirting is definitely Charlie's love language and Nova wasn't having any of it... until she was. This is one of those "one night, let's just get it out of our systems" that of course turns into more. But how could it not? I really loved just how obsessed Charlie is with Nova and how he would literally do anything for her, and does do anything for her. I think this is definitely a "he falls first" too because he was gone for her long before they truly got together. I just loved everything about them as a couple and I loved being back in Inglewild for one last time. I'm so sad the series is now over because it was amazing but so happy I got to read about these wonderful characters in this perfect little world. 

This was SO worth the wait! Isaiah Rhodes is absolute perfection and I loved everything about this book. Who doesn't love an accidental marriage that happens in Las Vegas, but this time, it's a baseball player and the athletic trainer he's been obsessed with for years, but who was never available nor gave him the time of day. I knew Isaiah was one of those guys who everyone knew as happy and smiling and never sad but it's always to cover something up. Kennedy has never really been shown love and doesn't know how to receive it from anyone, let alone Isaiah. She was engaged but isn't anymore, and that guy was a total jerk. This had some incredible "teach me" moments and Isaiah and Kennedy had perfect chemistry. It was funny, hot, swoony, but it was also quite emotional at times and I truly loved seeing each and every one of the Windy City men and women because they're like family. So many little details were just so good: colorblind, consent king, teach me, found family and real family, Isaiah's fears, Monty and Reese, him winking at the plate, and so much more! I just cannot wait for Rio's book next! 

I was really hoping that this would truly be like Abbott Elementary, but that show has heart and soul that this book just did not have and it makes me so sad because I had such high hopes. This is touted as enemies to lovers but it really wasn't; they were just annoyed by each other and their different teaching styles but certainly not this trope. I also saw that it was supposed to be spicy but it had BARELY anything in it. I did not care for the pregnancy trope because it felt so out of place for this book and these characters. The back and forth POVs from first to third were too clunky and didn't work for me. I did not like the writing style either. All in all, I am disappointed because I think this had so much potential but just let me down and ultimately was not great. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Sidney Halston, and Avon for the eARC of this book. 

OMG I truly could not put this down from start to finish. There were so many twists and turns and that ending was just so unexpected that I was truly duped and I couldn't believe it. Honestly, I think that this could be a Lifetime movie and it was be so captivating. I'm not even going to say anything because I don't want to spoil anything, but definitely read the summary and the content warnings but it was so good! 

You might be thinking, "Not another hockey romance!" And I totally get it... there's a lot out there, but I truly enjoyed this one. To be honest, it was very little hockey and focused much more on the baking, the show, and the fake dating/relationship that Lila and Ian engage in. It's also a childhood friends to lovers and brother's best friend/teammate as well, so I really ate this up because I love those tropes so much. This was equal parts sweet and spicy, and although I felt like there was something missing that I can't quite put my finger on, I did have a really good time reading this! 

I adored this book so much! Henry is my new book boyfriend and this book is my new favorite. I like that this is sort of a reverse Meredith and Derek from Grey's Anatomy (in this book, she is the attending and he is her new resident) mixed with Wedding Crashers. Henry and Whitney's meet cute was so funny and awesome, and then of course, they run into each other later in the most awkward and insane fashion, but it makes for such a great read. I could really feel the chemistry and tension in this book and it truly jumped off the pages. I wanted them to be together so badly! However, it was forbidden and there are rules, but the slow burn is so worth it. This is sweet and swoony and spicy and it's just a good time! 

Wow, this book was incredible! Can we just take a moment to appreciate this cover? It's absolutely gorgeous and drew me in. I really loved this book and surprisingly, I learned so much about bourbon. This is a new to me author but I will be automatically reading anything and everything she writes from now until eternity. I like books with romantic suspense and wow, did this have it in spades. Laney has moved to Fiasco, Kentucky under WITSEC (witness protection) and is left at one of the Foxx brothers' house. She keeps running into one brother in particular, Grant Foxx, and sparks fly between them. However, they both try to stay away because Grant is still broken up about his previous girlfriend dying while on the job and Laney doesn't want to get involved with anyone because of the danger she is in. This book truly had everything: romance, suspense, small town, hot men, banter, laugh out loud moments, and of course, the spice. The spice was off the charts good and Grant has a MOUTH. Whew, it was delicious. I also loved the world building and the side characters and I am so excited for the next book in the series! 

This is obviously a modern day retelling and play on Rapunzel/Tangled and you know what? I actually really liked it. I thought I would hate the idea of Ren being so naive and innocent but it was cute and she was such a good person at her core, and she certainly had Fitz wrapped around her finger. They actually made an adorable couple and I love that he never truly treated her differently or made her feel bad about her isolation or her upbringing; he just vowed to show her things in life she had never seen before because he really cared about her. This had a touch of romantic suspense which I really liked the twists and turns! It was really more like YA because they only kiss throughout the book and nothing more, but I really enjoyed reading this book! 

What an amazing conclusion to this awesome duet! I loved Ty and Luca in the first book, and they were even better in this final installment. They still had trials and tribulations, but this time, they are an established couple who love each other and can overcome anything. There is great banter, sports moments, laugh out loud scenes, some emotional times, and of course, some serious spice! Those spicy scenes were so well done, from sometimes tender and loving to sometimes down and dirty and filthy. I love that Ty and Luca fit the grumpy/sunshine trope so well. I'm so sad it's over but so glad I got to enjoy it!
