I loved this sophomore sequel to the Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage! I loved the first book and knew I would love the next one in the series, and I was so right. Ada and Wes are so perfect and so perfect for EACH OTHER! I loved the representation of Wes having major depressive disorder and Ada having issues with people and socialization and fitting in. I absolutely LOVED how the author handled Wes's MDD, especially when it came to a spicy scene and he told Ada it may take him some time to get hard due to his antidepressant. It's not often that we such honesty and freely speaking about these subjects, so I thought this was a breath of fresh air. There were other moments too, where Ada handles Wes's MDD with so much grace and support and I just loved everything about it. I loved that this was short and sweet but had everything you could want. I missed our side characters and was so happy to see them again. Wes was such a sweetheart and Ada appeared to others as cold, but she was such an intelligent and amazing person and I'm so glad Wes saw that when she thought no one else could. I do wish it could have been longer because I felt like some things were skimmed over (her relationship with her ex and him reaching out; this was basically just brushed over) but aside from that, I really loved this! I cannot wait for the next book in the series because we are finally getting TEDDY AND GUS! 

I was actually pleasantly surprised and impressed with this book! Yay for a book that represents science but something crazy and new and different like extraterrestrial intelligence. This was what drew me in, because I'm pretty sure that no one has written a book with this concept. This is a billionaire romance, with forced proximity and the always wonderful enemies to lovers trope. This is literally all my favorite things in one book. A S.T.E.M. romance? Check. An enemies-to-lovers story with forced proximity? Check. Research into extraterrestrial? Check. An adventure in a different country? Check. This worked really well for me, and I loved the chemistry between Gwen and Ty. I also thought there was some nice spice and truly laugh out loud moments with the right amount of action and adventure and of course, science. This is definitely a rom com worth reading! 

This was super cute and fun! I was wondering for several books what exactly happened between Dash and Ari and I couldn't wait to get to their story. I also was worried that the small town waitress/a celebrity actor wouldn't work well, but it really did! I think this was because Dash and Ari knew each other since childhood (Ari is Dash's sister's best friend), so it made a lot of sense. Ari and Dash were such a cute couple, and had to overcome a "mistake" that happened between them years ago when Ari was 16 and Dash was 19. They have both had feelings for each other for years though, and it all comes to a head when Dash comes back to town to visit, on break from Hollywood acting and trying to improve his emotional depth to land a role he wants. Ari is working at her parent's diner but has really big culinary dreams. I loved the whole trope of "just one time to get it out of our systems" that turns into really falling for each other, but with this added element of them always having feelings for each other but never really having the right timing. Melanie Harlow is the master at weaving small town with great characters, families you love, laugh out loud moments and super hot spice. I really loved this book but I CANNOT wait for Mabel's book! 

I'm so sad that this series is over because it is truly one of my favorites, and every single book in it has been amazing. I wish it didn't have to end, but this was the perfect send off. I wanted Kat's story from the very first book, and I don't think Morgan Elizabeth could have done any better. I loved Kat and Theo together! Their chemistry was electric and so obvious from the very beginning. I was a big fan of the workplace romance and fake engagement, and of course, the added element of getting revenge on someone who deserved it. Mr. Theo Carter was the perfect book boyfriend. The snacks? The tulip field? The mother's ring? The giving Kat whatever she wanted but never trying to change her? Ugh, absolutely amazing. I loved seeing all of the other girls we've come to love, like Abbie, Cami and Liv. REVENGERS ASSEMBLE! I can't wait to see what Morgan Elizabeth writes next! 

This is such a feel good romance that will have you smiling and laughing and kicking your feet! This is the book for you if you need a palate cleanser because it's just so wonderful and good. I love anything that has the fake dating/fake engagement trope, and this book does it so well. The characters are well developed, the plot is great and moves at a fast pace, and ithe chemistry between Bianca and Xavier is just so palpable. It was both sweet and spicy, and it's so interesting how they navigated a fake engagement since both of them had been pining after each for years. This book is perfect for those who are fans of Ali Hazelwood and Morgan Elizabeth. I did take a way a star for this being in third person POV present, because I desperately wish it was in dual POV first person, but this is overall such a great book and I recommend it highly to others!
 

I thought this was a really cute and fun read! It featured fake dating, which is one of my favorite tropes, so I was so excited to read this. While I do think it was a good book, it wasn't great for me and missed the mark on a few things. I wish there would have been more fake dating within the book. It felt like we didn't get enough of it. I also did not like the mistaken identity trope, and that threw me for a loop and took me away from the book. I also didn't like the very basic use of childish language, like "gosh", "sheesh", or "crap". It was like the author was afraid to curse, which is common in rom coms. I wanted this to just be more, but it ended so abruptly and felt so rushed. I think the potential was there, but it just didn't work for me like I wanted it to. 

I love the Love in LA series! This cover is beautiful, and the story inside is even better. I love the guardian/single parent trope where a character suddenly has to take on the responsiblity of raising a child that isn't theirs. I loved Owen and how he stepped up to the plate for Julia. I do wish we had seen more of him with Julia, because for most of the book, he was just preparing for her and working out the legal aspects of custody, etc. I loved Owen's relationship with Maeve, and how he never gave up on her. There was some push and pull, but both of them had hard pasts and had to grow through things and then come together, where they helped each other heal and find a happily ever after. This book had everything you could ever want and I cannot wait to continue the series. 

This is basically just Taylor Swift fanfiction, and it wasn't good. In fact, it does quite a disservice to Taylor Swift herself and the kind of person she is and how everyone reduces her to just her breakups, which is basically what this book does. She would HATE this and how it makes her look. And all of the musical references got old fast and were just too much. I understand this book was about two musicians but throwing in a Taylor Swift reference damn near every paragraph is just TOO MUCH. I wish people would STOP writing books based on Taylor Swift because we can always tell you basically just copied and pasted her entire life into your books and not in a good way. 

This is a really cute and fun deut novel! Ivy and Holland are so adorable together and we can't forgt Slate! This is a slow burn but it is so worth it. They both had a lot of things to overcome but it was really beautiful, reading about how they came together and found love with each other, which gave them the strength to realize they aren't their pasts and that they are worthy and deserving of love and a happy life. The third act conflict bothered me a little bit because I felt like it could have easily been solved by a conversation, but overall, this was a wonderful book! 

Romantic suspense is my favorite genre and I really loved this book! This is a small town, friends to lovers, single parent book and I think the author made all of these tropes work really well. The mystery and suspense and action just added a cherry on top to the romance I enjoyed. Poppy is such a strong woman who has been through so much, and I admire how resilient and brave she really is. Cade is so sweet and you really wouldn't think so upon first glance, but he is so caring and loving and just wants to be there for Poppy and to help her. Cade is an MMA champion, and I don't often see that sport represented in books, so I really liked that aspect. The found family and side characters were something else I really liked, and made me enjoy the plot and book that much more. I really loved this book and think you will too!
