This was my first book from the Cosmic Cinema series but like every other book by Honey Phillips that I have read it was a great story full of interesting characters and great world building to draw the readers into the story. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as other books from this author in the future.

This was my first book by this author and from the Dash of Desire series of standalone contemporary romance novellas. I enjoyed this book and felt it did a great job of bringing the reader into the characters world. All the characters were well written and it had a good ending that showed how things were going in the future. I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.

This was my first book both by this author and from this series of standalone but connected fairy tale retellings. This book was a Retelling of Snow White with several great characters and some interesting twists that I enjoyed. I plan to read more from this series in the future.

This was my first book in the Hope Bay series of Standalone romances set in a small town on the beach. I really enjoyed this story about Hannah, her beagle Bosco, and Shawn her dog trainer. All the characters in this story were so well written and the story draws you into their world. I plan to read more from this series and hopefully backtrack and read the first book in the series in the future.

This was my first book by Emily Michel and I found it to be an entertaining book set in a small town with several fun characters and an interesting plot. The epilogue at the end was nice but I might have wanted to see how things were a little further into the future for the couple.

This book is the last book in the Lumberjacks of Blackbear Bluff Series and it focuses on Jace & Emily. In this book Jace & Emily get together after Emily mistakes Jace for a police officer when she needs help because of an ex boyfriend. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. This was an a quick and enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future including her next series Rosewood Ridge Mavericks.

This book was about Layna's friend Scarlett and Wes getting together after she initially mistakes his house for her friends boyfriends home. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. This was an a quick and enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from this series. The epilogue also has a very brief mention of the town (Rosewood Ridge) that the next series is supposed to take place in.
