Home Is Where You Are by Melissa Grace is an amazing debut book! The music world was wonderfully crafted. The romance between Liv and Jax was heart warming and beautiful. The characters were varied and more than our heroine and hero had me feeling some feels, in a good way. I always say that if an author can get me to cry, then they’ve done a great job getting me to care about their characters, and Melissa Grace did that! I’m blow away that this is her first novel, it was so amazing!

The Pact by Sharon Bolton was a thrilling and twisty suspense. All the characters have something about them that makes you wonder how they will react to the next situation that comes their way. I was amazed and chilled by Megan and her actions once she was released from prison. The favors she asks for were a bit shocking, and the twists kept me on the edge of my seat. This story was a quick read that kept me guessing what would happen next. However we do wish there had a been at least another chapter or two providing what the future for our characters looked like. It felt like a bit of an abrupt ending.

Lucy Score is a romantic comedy genius! I cracked up at the witty banter between Ally and Dominic, and slowly fell in love with this couple just as they were finding love themselves. I enjoyed the slow build-up between the brooding and closet-caring Dominic and the confident and sassy Ally. The secondary characters were just as amazing as our hero and heroine.

I would definitely read a story about Christian or Faith. I am addicted to this story and definitely stayed-up away too late reading since I could not wait to find out what shenanigans Ally would find herself in or how Dominic would react to her shenanigans. This was such a great romantic comedy and I really enjoyed the connecting to other books in the Lucy Score world through the competing magazine and make-up companies that were mentioned.

Water Under The Bridge by Kels and Denise Stone was a funny and swoony read! The banter between Avery and Luca was perfect for the enemies-to-lovers trope. Their chemistry was so good! I did wish there were more workplace romance elements, but overall it worked. The world in which our characters thrive was well constructed and definitely allows for more books with secondary characters. Which I am very excited about! The humor in this book was well balanced with the emotional moments. I thoroughly enjoyed every second and I can't wait to read anything else Kels and Denise write!

I really enjoyed this mystery! The world building, small town know-it-alls, and characters created a story that I couldn't put down. I enjoyed the sister dynamic and how they help each other with their careers and dreams. Definitely an entertaining read!

Enemies with Benefits by Roxie Noir is an amazing frenemies to lovers romance. I loved that both Eli and Violet worked in the same place, and it was a wedding venue. The secret glances and venue shenanigans were perfect. The way they both viewed the past and how they let it impact their present created such great character conflict. The intimate scenes between Eli and Violet were steamy! The small town elements were spot on, and I can’t wait to dive into the other Loveless brothers’ romance. I had a book hangover after reading this one. I enjoyed it so much!
