Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Pardon My Frenchie!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I loved Farrah Rochon's The Boyfriend Project series so I was excited to read Pardon My Frenchie!  While I did truly enjoy this slow burn, grumpy-sunshine romance, I felt like it took me a long time to like Thad.  He hates Puddin' in the beginning of the book and to see him not treating a dog well was a turn off at the start.  I do appreciate what he does for Ashanti and that he eventually likes Puddin', but his introduction did take some time getting over.

Thank you Zando and NetGalley for the eARC of Fast & Reckless!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I really enjoyed this F1 romance!  My only complaint is that I just read another F1 romance with a similar storyline for the female main character (dad owns the team and she has a terrible experience with someone who also works in F1 which keeps her away from the sport for years before her return).  However, I did love Will's storyline!  I think I'm going to love the next book in the Racing Hearts series!

Thank you St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the eARC of Everone I Kissed Since You Got Famous!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I had a hard time writing this review because I loved Wil and Katie.  However, I don't know if it was the pacing or the fact that most of the book focused on them when they were apart, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.  I love the premise that a famous celebrity gets to reunite with her teenage crush, but I felt like Wil being famous on Tik Tok took away from Katie being the celebrity in this relationship.  Overall, I feel like this book was more about Wil and Katie moving on with their lives after two terrible events for them.  This made them lovable characters, but I was expecting the romance to be more of the focus.

Thank you St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the eARC of One Last Shot.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I absolutely love this author's page on Instagram so I was really excited to read her debut novel.  I appreciate that she opens with an Author's Note explaining her own healing experience and how that factored into the main character's experience.

I wanted to love this one but I had a hard time from the start with the pacing.  After not talking for a decade, both Emmerson and Theo want to immediately reconnect because of a bet they made to get married at 28.  I wish there had been more tension or more thought on both their parts to decide to reconnect, especially since they then spend the rest of the book not talking about their feelings and it takes so long for them to actually get together.

While this one wasn't for me, I still support this author and I look forward to reading her next book!
