What a way to start a new series!  I was absolutely hooked from the very first page. The way these characters met was adorable and I was immediately invested in their story. I loved Montana. She felt so real and relatable and a fantastic character to root for. Learning about Myles's family dynamics made his take on relationships make sense. Watching their friendship turn into something more was so good. The last few chapters of the book had me in all my feels. I was crying, smiling, and just full of emotions. Another thing I loved was the girl power with Montana and her two besties. I am counting down the days until the next book comes out!

Another 5 star read in the Blue Devils Hockey Series! I loved the writing, characters, side characters, and emotions this book made me feel. Daisy is the little sister of Kane's childhood best friend and he's always been super protective of Daisy. Their banter, chemistry, and tension was so strong!

I absolutely loved getting little peeks into their past, especially Kane's. His backstory added so much emotion to the story. Honestly, I adored both of them as individuals, but together they were amazing. The way Kane protected and cared for Daisy made me SWOON!

If you're like me and you love reading stories that make your heart ache in the best way possible, with all the angst and emotion leading to something truly heartwarming, then you absolutely HAVE to read this one!

ARC and ALC review

Listen up bookworms! You NEED to get your hands on Morgan Elizabeth's Tourist Trap! Seriously, mark your calendars for May 15th because this baby is dropping just in time for summer. You won't regret it!

This book gave me all the feels of a perfect beach getaway or day at the pool. If you are still not convinced, look at this trope list: ex's brother, roommates to lovers, forced proximity, a summer bucket list (adorable!), and grumpy x sunshine.

I am obsessed with Claire and Miles! Their banter was so flirty and fun. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and completely swooning the next. Claire was a go with the flow kind of girl just figuring things out. Don't let that grumpy exterior Miles has fool you. Underneath it all, he's a total sweetheart, especially when it comes to Claire and the people he cares about. Their connection and chemistry just felt so strong and real.

I love a good found family vibes book and the found family vibes in this book just made my heart happy. I did a full immersive read of this one (both the ebook and the audiobook) and CJ Bloom and Sebastian York absolutely nailed it! They brought Claire and Miles to life perfectly, capturing their personalities and charm.

Whether you're a book or an audiobook lover, you can't go wrong with this one. Just do yourself a favor and read Tourist Trap ASAP. You can thank me later!

When I say I LOVED this one, I mean it with my whole heart! I'm head over heels for Flynn. I'm a sucker for the single mom trope, and this book just nailed it.

Honestly, this whole series has been amazing, and this one is no different. I was hooked from the start. Olivia and Flynn's meet cute in New York was adorable! The way Flynn kept pursuing Olivia and all those sweet gestures made me absolutely SWOON!

Olivia's daughter Greer is the cutest kid ever! The way she and Flynn connected just melted my heart. The found family vibe in this book made me so happy. If you're looking for something sweet and heartwarming, you HAVE to pick this one up!

I freaking LOVED this book! The plot was seriously unique and I completely fell head over heels for Miller.

The banter between Miller and Kit was hilarious and so well-written. Watching their relationship develop felt so natural and real. This book totally nailed some really good tropes such as sister's ex-boyfriend, enemies-to-lovers, one tent.

Kit's character development was also fantastic. It was so satisfying to see her journey of finding herself and learning how to be happy again. Thank goodness this book was in dual POV because getting both Miller's and Kit's perspectives and those little glimpses into their past just added so much depth to the story.

Miller was so swoony and I loved how he supported Kit in just the ways she needed. Even though their past connection was short, it was like her knew her so well and just knew what she needed. He was just perfection! Kit and Miller are definitely one of my favorite couples.

I devoured this book. Like, stayed up way too late, couldn't put it down devoured it. And now that it's over, I'm actually a little sad because I keep thinking about Miller and Kit. Seriously, if you're looking for a book that's unique, swoony, and just plain good, you HAVE to read this one!

This is a second chance romance, and honestly, it just hit different. It felt so real, so raw, like you were right there with the characters going through all their stuff.

I was completely invested in Wren and Ellis and their story. Their journey back to each other was just beautiful to watch unfold. Seriously, their communication and honesty were refreshing, a breath of fresh air in the romance world!

Now, if you're thinking about picking this one up, grab the audiobook! Connor Crais and Megan Wicks absolutely nailed it with the dual narration. They brought out every single emotion – the love, the longing, all the feels and it just made the whole experience so much richer. Trust me on this one, you need to hear this story. Highly, highly recommend the audio!

Describing this book as cute and fun definitely hits the nail on the head! I went in expecting something super light and fluffy but it had way more depth and feels than I was expecting.

The whole premise of them attending weddings together was super charming and fun. Even though Wilder has baggage from his past, I love that he fell first and he fell hard. I am so glad we got his POV because I loved hearing his inner thoughts.

This is a slow burn, but it's worth the wait.

If you're in the mood for a sweet story with a surprising amount of heart, and you don't mind a slow-burn romance, definitely check out this book. I also liked the diabetes representation.

Kristen Proby's done it again! This latest Blackwells of Montana book is a total BANGER! I was glued to the pages from the very first word right up until the end.

Beckett has my heart because...wow. His love language is definitely acts of service. He was totally swoon worthy and gave me heart eyes the entire book. Skyla was definitely his perfect match, hands down. I loved them together and their chemistry was so strong I could feel it radiating off the pages.

Skyla was such a fantastic character. She was strong, brave, and totally independent. Beckett was the ultimate obsessed and protective hero. The storyline itself was great, and I really enjoyed the little threads of suspense woven throughout.

This book totally hit all my favorite tropes, plus it introduced some new little things I didn't even know I loved but am now completely obsessed with! I absolutely LOVED the found family vibes. It was heartwarming and made my heart so happy.

Honestly, this book was just beautiful. It made me feel all the feels. Now I'm just counting down the days until the next one in the series!

*Audiobook Review*

If you're like me and can't get enough of a brother's best friend secret romance, then you'll probably enjoy this book! It definitely hit a lot of my favorite tropes such as boy obsessed, sports romance, and  found family.

The author's writing style really pulled me in, and I found myself connecting with the characters. I especially enjoyed learning about Gavin's backstory with his family. Plus, the dual POV was a nice touch, and I loved getting to see things from both Sienna and Gavin's perspectives. The side characters were a fun addition to the story too!

While I enjoyed the book overall, I was hoping for a little more chemistry between Sienna and Gavin. The chemistry just didn't quite hit as much as I wanted it to. I also found myself wishing for some swoon worthy moments. I also would have loved to see them be an actual couple a bit more.

Avery Caris and Victor Quixabas narrated this audiobook in dual narration and were new voices for me, and I thought they did a solid job bringing Sienna and Gavin to life. They definitely helped me get into the story and connect with each one. 

I'll definitely continue with this series and  I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next! If you're a fan of the tropes I mentioned, it's worth checking out!

The Boss Situation is book three in the Billionaire Situation series, and let me tell you...WOW! I totally couldn't put it down! If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers, this one absolutely nails it. The banter between these two is SOOOO GOOOD! It was sharp, witty, and just plain fun.

I could feel the chemistry between these two from page 1. Whether they were throwing shade at each other or doing things lovers do ... it was off the charts!

I completely fell for both Asher and Billie. I loved their individual stories and watching them navigate their complicated relationship was just so enjoyable. There were a few plot twists sprinkled in that totally caught me off guard which is always a bonus! If you haven't started the Billionaire Situation series yet, trust me, you are seriously missing out on some fantastic reads!
