Book Review
The Play Maker by Stephanie Alves
Oh Maisie girl, I see you. I was you. Part of me is still you.The girl who wants to blend into the background so no one looks too closely, because what if they see the cracks you try so hard to hide? What if they decide you’re not enough? “Sometimes I feel like a side…
Silent Count by Ava Sutton
(ARC Review) Some books make you feel. Others make you heal. Silent Count does both, and Ava Sutton absolutely nailed it. Silent Count is one of those stories that digs deep and stays with you long after you’ve finished. It’s tender, emotional, and heartbreakingly real. It’s the kind of love story that reminds you healing…
Protect Home by Indy Valentine
Enemies to lovers has never tasted this good. From the moment Tenley and August, aka Gus, share the page, the tension is electric. Every argument feels like foreplay wrapped in sarcasm. The “venom” they hurl at each other could fool anyone into thinking they hate one another, but the truth burns a little hotter. It’s…
Chasing Love by Piper Rayne
(ARC Review) It was over between Bennett Owens and Delaney…until it wasn’t. Seven years, one heartbreaking goodbye, and a life built on lies later, fate forces them back into each other’s orbit. Delaney’s world shatters when her husband is arrested, leaving her and her daughter with nowhere to go but back home to Willowbrook, the…
Full Tilt by Ruth Stilling
(ARC Review) My QUEEN, Ruth Stilling does it again. I didn’t think anyone could rival Archer and Darcy, but Tommy and Jenna? They’re an entirely different kind of wildfire. This story isn’t about soft, easy love. This story is about clawing your way out of the wreckage of your past and daring to believe you’re…
The Hookup Situation by Lyra Parish
This was my very first Lyra Parish book (and yes, I have a bad habit of jumping into series out of order), and the second I finished it, I immediately binged three more. It checked off so many of my favorite tropes: fake dating, friends-to-lovers, EXTREME spice with a side of bedroom lessons, and all…
At First Dance by Renee Harless
(ARC Review) “She wasn’t looking for a way out. He wasn’t looking for anyone at all. Especially not his brother’s ex. But sometimes, love finds you right where you land.” At First Dance is a tender, charming slow-burn romance that finds its magic in the quiet moments between two people whose lives couldn’t be more…
Crazy In Love by Laura Pavlov
(ARC Review) Laura Pavlov has done it again—Crazy In Love is a small-town romance that hit me right in the heart. As the fourth book in the Rosewood River series, it has everything I’ve come to expect from this world: sharp banter, girl gang moments, and a couple whose journey feels emotional, raw, and ultimately…
Nothing Less Than Everything by Maggie Gates
This has officially become a new favorite for me, and Tatum just might be my new top book boyfriend. The story truly lives up to its title, because with Wren and Tatum, it was nothing less than everything. Wren Porter is living a double life of sorts. She’s an interior designer by day and a…
Sweet Temptation by Bella Matthews
I’ve never typed a review this quickly. I’d give it six stars if I could. I had to get everything out before the memory of how it felt slipped away. I read it straight through, unable to stop. The sadness, the hope, the longing, the ache, the joy, the quiet fulfillment, and in the middle…
