ARC Review

Thank you to Rebecca Caffery, HarperCollins - One More Chapter, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

There is something about a sports romance that I just love! This one adds to the ever growing list of sports romances that I will rave about!

This book was so cute! At times, I was so giddy over Kian and Harper. These characters were so well-rounded. The decisions they made and the thoughts they had perfectly matched with their backgrounds!

I loved how both of these characters grew individually and together! The only plot point that I wanted out of this book and didn't get was a confrontation with Kian's father. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book a lot and will be recommending it!

ARC Review

Thank you to HelenKay Dimon, Avon and Harper Voyager, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was delightful! I struggle with classifying the subgenre of mystery books but I think this would classify as cozy! If you like books like Finlay Donovan is Killing it and Arsenic and Adobo, you will love this book!

I identified with Kasey more than I expected as I also went to law school, lived in the DC area, and have family/friends that keep things from me because it's not my job to worry about them! Except I'm going to worry anyway, just like Kasey!

The cast of characters are funny and engaging! The romance was adorable! And the villains were easy to dislike! I highly recommend this book!

Who knew that "What do you need" and " I'll build you some bookshelves" were my love language.

This book was soo cozy and delightful! I want to be best friends with Kiela and visit Caltrey! I love the romance between Kiela and Larran!

ARC Review

Thank you to Breanne Randall and Random House Publishing House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Wow! I loved this book! I want more of Calliope and Lucien! This book had me laughing, crying, and swooning! The banter between Calliope and Lucien was delightful! Full heart eyes for Lucien and the things he says 😍😍😍

My favorite relationships were the siblings! The growth if the Petridi sisters as a unit was fantastic!

This book releases March 4, 2025 (TODAY) and I highly recommend!
