I quite like stories around death, how people deal with it, and stories of what could in theory be after. This was a great selection :)

I love books that go a bit meta with an author character writing in the genre of the book itself!

I've had this book for a few years and I'm so happy I finally read it! I had a great time ^^

I enjoyed this book so much that I had recommended it to people when I was hardly halfway through!
Sweat Equity is exactly what I love in a romance. There's fun, there's jokes, there's nice side characters as well as main characters that I would like as friends IRL.
There are issues in the lives of the main characters that are too big to solve within the skope of the book, which I enjoy, because not everthing can be easily solved! It adds a nice realistic touch :) Also, communication! they make an effort!!

All in all, a romance I definitely recommend to all who enjoy sapphic romances!     Now i'm off to see what else Aurora Rey has to offer :D


I would like to thank Netgalley and Bold Stroke Books for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. 

Dragged to the Wedding has a premise that had me so excited, it sounded like a lot of fun! and it was!

It did take me a bit to get into the book. In just the first chapter there was an instance of fat-phobia which had me cautious, but luckily that was from a side-character and wasn't a theme that continues in the book, (the opposite, actually!). That instance had me in a critical mood, and I also noticed some continuity inconsistencies.

Once I really got into the story though, I was enjoying myself a lot! Loved the main characters, and the sisters were great to get to know as well :D I've always loved fake dating, and this was a lovely done version of it, with the drag being a nice twist to it!
I liked how this book dealt with a police officer main character, having the view of Daniel to open James' eyes was really welcome. (mild

especially after his 'you can trust me, I'm a police officer' remark.  Not quite the good argument James probably thought it was.

) But yes, the author dealt with that really well, as well as the whole issues around churches, as far as I can judge that.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Carina Press for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
