Tarah Dewitt did it again...she made me fall in love with fictional people. ❤️ Sage and Fisher were so well drawn, both their flaws and their beauty. Dewitt has a unique ability to tell a story about people I feel like I have met in real life, and yet there is still that ever-important tension that comes with really well-written romances. I genuinely cannot wait to read Dewitt's next book. She makes the reader feel like this kind of love might just be possible for everyone.  

Sarah Brenton, with only 2 published books under her belt, is quickly establishing herself as an autobuy author for me. I enjoyed her first book in the Over The Top Love series (Love and Other Risky Business) well enough to read #2, and it did not disappoint! Nic and Jessie were well-drawn characters, and the spice was spicin'! 🥵 The toy scene where some "watching" was going on? Holy moly...

I am looking forward to the last book in the trilogy, The Villain Edit, and Brenton's unique take on the Foley family. ♥️

I think adults, in their worry about day-to-day living, sometimes forget who they thought they were going to be. In Summer Romance, the author captures that dissonance in such a lovely way, that I was surprised by the emotions it stirred. Her storytelling put me back to a time in my own life where I had found "my person" but didn't trust myself to believe that it was so. It is truly a gift when a writer is talented enough to evoke a feeling that is so fundamental to the human condition. This was a sweet, relatable, and satisfying love story.
