I really enjoyed this book and I'm so impressed by it, especially considering that it is a debut novel. I love books that feature STEM, so I was so excited to read this. If you're a fan of Ali Hazelwood, then this book is for you! The book was written so well, and I loved both Henry and Clara. It's a fantastic romantic comedy with some laugh out loud moments. I think there could have been more spice; it was pretty minimal compared to other books like it but this isn't a dealbreaker by any means. I thought their relationship developed well and I loved seeing them go through their journey together. I'm also not a huge fan of the miscommunication trope and it was very prevalent in this book. Clara was so oblivious to how in love Henry was with her, but I totally get it. This is a slow burn but it's so worth it! I highly recommend reading this book! You won't be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lucy Chalice and HarperCollins/One More Chapter for the eARC of this book. 

This latest installment in the Whitlock Family series is SO GOOD! I loved Rowan and Charlotte together and the premise of two rival farmers competing for the same contract. Add in the fact that Rowan "dated" Charlotte's sister years ago and Charlotte hates Rowan for what she thinks he did to her sister? Oh, the enemies to lovers trope was on fire in this book. Then you add Charlotte and Rowan getting stuck in a storm while camping and having to share a sleeping bag? This book had everything! It was a breath of fresh air and really sucked me in. Rowan and Charlotte had such juicy tension but you could also tell just how much they cared about each other. I loved how Rowan took care of Charlotte, even though she was so mean to him at first because she thought he betrayed her sister. And can we talk about how awful of a person her sister Aurora was? She was the worst. I loved all of the side characters and every single member of the Whitlock family! I cannot wait for Brynn's book! 

I love the Time River series and this latest installment in the series is no exception. This book features a single dad sheriff, adorable kids, a mystery with lots of suspense and action, and two people who have dealt with loss and trauma finding love with each other. I absolutely loved Ezra and Savannah together! Ezra was a such a sweetheart who deserved so much better than the hand he was dealt, and decided to pay it forward by helping a woman who is struggling and needs a friend. Savannah is in town, solely to search for her missing sister, but she is hiding a lot of secrets and isn't completely forthcoming with Ezra in the beginning. What I loved is that they really helped each other with their demons and their scars and their jouney to healing. They both came in broken, but with each other, they were able to love and to find peace and be happy and get what they deserve. 

I absolutely LOVED <i>The Brightest Light of Sunshine</i> and it was one of my top reads of 2023. I was really excited when Lisina Coney announced a sequel and I was even more excited to learn that it was Maddie's book, the cute little four year old ballet dancer from the first book. I was a bit worried about this time jump, but it was written so well and I LOVED James and Maddie. The physical therapist who falls for the ballet dancer he is responsible for healing? I love the forbidden trope and it was done so well here. They never really crossed the line, and she was no longer his patient when things happened, but I loved the tension and the friendship they built. Getting to see Cal and Grace from the first book and seeing their interactions with Maddie as an adult now was awesome. I love that these two broken people fall for each other and help each other heal and find such a beautiful love in the process. The spice was on point too! It was so hot and I felt the chemistry between James and Maddie. I loved this book and cannot wait for the third in this series. I'm REALLY hoping it's Cal and Grace's daughter's book! 

I love the idea of enemies sending letters to each other! The premise and concept of this book was really cool, and I think it was executed well. There was so much humor and so many heartfelt moments, and the romance was just so good. This was cute and fun and light, and not heavy at all. Naomi and Luca are so adorable together! This is a rom com that you will most definitely want to pick up!

Thank you to NetGalley, Donna Marchetti and HarperCollins/One More Chapter for the eARC of this book. 

I can't believe my favorite series is over. This book was amazing and the perfect end to a perfect series. I have been anxiously awaiting Viggo's story, and Chloe Liese did not disappoint! Viggo is just so PERFECT and his relationship with Tallulah is so beautiful and heartwarming. They were really made for each other. I love the reverse grumpy x sunshine trope and I think it's done perfectly well here. I loved seeing all of the Bergman family again. It truly felt like coming home and a piece of me is finally complete. Chloe Liese is the greatest when it comes to representation in her books, and I thought she wrote Tallulah (Type 1 diabetes) and Viggo (ADHD) in such a respectful, kind, honoring and realistic way. The mystery is finally revealed as to why Viggo is constantly in Escondido and I would have NEVER guessed! This was the perfect plot and every single character was my favorite; I will miss this family so dearly. I cannot say enough about this series was life changing for me, and how much I have enjoyed this journey, from book one to book seven, Only and Forever.

I love everything Ali Hazelwood writes and <i>Bride</i> is no exception. I will say that I was a little aprehesive when she announced she was writing a paranormal romance, specifically a werewolf/vampire romance, because that's not really my thing at all. However, I love her writing so much that I thought, why not? I'm so glad I did because this was SO GOOD! I feel like this is a more refined, better written adult version of <i>Twlight</i> and I'm obssessed. This was so HOT and the sexual tension was off the charts. These species are bitter rivals and do not like each other, to the point where they are basically at war with each other and have been for many years. So, it's an incredibly big deal when Misery, your resident vampire who had been living amoung humans and wanted no part of this feud, is forced to marry Lowe, the Alpha werewolf, in order to attempt to broker peace between the vampires and the werewolves. Yes, it's an arranged marriage but it's truly so much more than that. The fate of their now intertwined worlds is at risk and Misery is also looking for her missing best friend, Serena, who is rumored to have been taken by the werewolves. I really loved this book because it's not just about the romance aspect, but there is a great plot with a lot of mystery and suspense. There's also a twist towards the end that I NEVER saw coming! I think one of my favorite things about Misery and Lowe is the fact that they never tried to change each other. They just cared about one another, and that included their very significant differences. They worked hard to understand each other and make accomodations and thoroughly acknowledged that although they were different, the love they had would overcome these obstacles and they would make it work. And every time Lowe called Misery his "wife? Okay, YES. I loved this book and while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I truly hope Ali Hazelwood writes more within this world (PLEASE GIVE US SERENA AND KEON'S STORY!) or paranormal romance in general because it's amazing. 

Who knew golf could be so HOT? I didn't but know I do. Tessa Bailey never misses and this is no exception. I think this is her best book in quite some time. It felt like OG Tessa Bailey, with the right amount of banter, a unique concept of a plot, and spice to knock your socks off. I wasn't sure how a "bad boy in golf" would go over because... well, have you ever watched golf? It doesn't exactly scream bad boy. But I have to say, Wells Whitaker is my new favorite resident bad boy. He's had a difficult past and isn't the star he once was, with many considering him washed up. Enter Josephine, who is his biggest fan turned brand new caddie. Josephine is a Type 1 diabetic and runs her family's pro golf shop but when it's hit with damage, she needs money to fund not only the reapirs but her insulin supply as well. Enter Wells, who hires her to be his caddie and to see if he still has one last go around at golf in his system. This is a wonderful story of a fan and a pro athlete coming together and not only falling in love, but helping each other find their way. It is in no way cringe or weird or awkward, but a great concept that worked really well. I was sucked in from the very start and I loved the chemistry between Wells and Josephine. I cannot wait for Tallulah's story!

This was a crazy duet! SO messy and very much like a soap opera but it's one of those guilty pleasures. I enjoyed both of the books and do like the way it ended. I think everyone got the ending they deserved, except for maybe Jess and Alex, but I know Alex will soon have his own book and I'm HOPING his love interest will be Jess. I won't say much about this book because it could be major spoilers but it's a wild ride, yet so worth it. Definitely a must read! 

Okay, this was MESSY! It reads like a soap opera and there was a lot of drama going on. It sucks you in and you just want to keep reading and reading. I'm not going to say much because I do believe people should go in blind when reading this, but let's just say this is REALLY crazy but it had me hooked. I knew going into it that there was some kind of cliffhanger because the second book is a part two, but THAT FREAKING CLIFFHANGER, HOLY CRAP! I'm diving into part two as we speak.
