Hit By The Cupid Stick by Abigail Owen was a sexy Valentine's day read. Chance and Elodie have some serious chemistry! I really enjoyed the opposites attract interactions between these two. Chance was a swoony hero in how he helped Elodie truly experience love. I liked the description of Elodie's siren, it was such a unique take on it. It was fun to see Delilah and Alasdair again. You can't go wrong with this seductive valentine's day read!
I totally didn't realize that this book was a series until writing this review. It is a great stand-alone and you don't need to read the other books to understand any characters or plot, but I'm sure you'd appreciate the book even more if you did read in order. Hate To Date You by Monica Murphy inspired a variety of feelings in me. The tension between Carter and Stella was immense and, I too was rooting for them to get together. Their heartbreak, broke me and caused some tears. Which, always makes me feel like the book did a wonderful job getting me to care for the characters. I loved Stella's Nonna and felt like she brought some great humor and wisdom to the story. This is definitely a cute and fun romance!
That's Not A Thing by Jaqueline Friedland pulled me in hard after I read the last sentence in the first chapter. I had to know what was going to happen! This book kept me wondering what was going to happen to Meredith and the relationships in her life. I will say, that in the middle of the book I did not like Meredith or Wesley anymore. I wasn't sure I wanted to keep reading, but I'm glad I read till the end because things got better. This book does a good job discussing ALS, cancer treatments, dealing with traumatic past events, and finding it within yourself to forgive those you love.
**Just keep in mind this book does include cheating but also the honesty of trying to get over your first true love and finding yourself after a heartbreaking past event.

Funny Business by Kayley Loring was a hilarious, angst filled romance. I loved the banter between Frankie and Owen. They were so funny together, and their sexual tension was off the charts. The relationships that Frankie and Owen have the other characters in the book were great too! I appreciated how much Frankie loved Sam, which is important for the love interest in a single parent story. I really loved the beginning of this book, but it kind of lost some steam for me near the middle. Overall, this was a delightful rom-com!
Chasing Rose by Nomi Cane was a flirty and emotionally intense read. The banter between Rose and Zeke was so fun! I found that Zeke's background made for a more unique Hero that you couldn't help but want to join the Zeke's Women Association to help lift him up. I loved Rose's family and how once they learned about her Ex wanted to extract revenge. I appreciated the body positivity that Zeke helped Rose find.
Otterly Irresistible by Erin Nicholas is exactly what the title says, irresistible. I loved the banter between Charlie and Griffin. Their chemistry was perfection! I loved Griffin’s grumpiness and how Charlie could brighten his mood. I enjoyed how creative Charlie is and that Griffin helped keep her from getting too crazy with her ideas. Sugar the cock-blocking goat added some additional humor that was addicting. I’m super in love with this story and didn’t want it to end!
Saved By The Mountain Man by K.B. Barrett was a perfectly crafted novella that left me swooning for Markston. I loved getting to see Branson from the I Found You series. I enjoyed the small town aspects and how Markston was such the alpha protector, that Charlotte needed. This novella hit all the parts of a romantic suspense that left me wanting more of Savage Valley.
Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy was not what I expected based off the blurb. I believe there should have been a trigger warning of some kind about abuse. So consider this your warning, if you are triggered by domestic or sexual abuse this book may not be for you. I also felt like this book was trying too hard to be too many things. I had a tough time relating to Inti which made it hard for me to enjoy book. I also felt like ALL the characters had tragic backstories which just continued to immerse me in a dark world that I was not fully prepared for. The romance between Inti and Duncan seemed a bit forced to me and I didn't feel any chemistry between them. I really just kept reading because I wanted to see what was going to happen with the wolves and who the murder was. I was surprised by the killer. I liked learning about the wolves and many of their scenes. Overall, the blurb was misleading and I felt like this story tried to encompass too many different things.
Love and Heart Braking by Kelly St. Clare was a heart pounding finale to the Magical Dating Agency series. I read this whole book in an evening. I'm in love with series and Cerys and her detective are so amazing! I was worried for them and how they'd get out the shituation they had found themselves in. I'm sad this series is over, but enjoyed it so much!!
