Scrubbing In by Alana Reese
There’s something incredibly satisfying about a romance hero who knows exactly what he wants and then quietly, consistently, and respectfully does everything he can to earn it. No games. No unnecessary angst. Just unwavering devotion. Dr. Julian Jacobs is that kind of hero, and by the time I reached the final page, he had firmly…
Sweet Salvation by Bella Matthews
(ARC Read) I don’t even know where to start because I’m still thinking about this book. I’ve been waiting for Olivia St. James’ story for what feels like forever. She’s been one of my favorite characters in the Love & Legacy series from the beginning, so my expectations were ridiculously high. Somehow, Bella Matthews still…
Promise Me This by Jennifer Sucevic
Laiken Lennox. That’s it. That’s the review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Okay, fine. I’ll say more, but this man set the bar so high I’m not entirely sure it’s fair to every hockey hero who comes after him. Promise Me This gave me so many of the things I love in a romance: a protective single dad, found…
The Troublemaker by Piper Rayne
(ARC Read) Easton Bailey was one of my most anticipated Colts, and somehow Piper Rayne still managed to exceed every expectation I had for him. For three books, we’ve known Easton as the fun-loving, carefree playboy who’s always up for a good time and never interested in anything permanent. The Troublemaker peels back those layers…
Pretty Little Scars by Kristen Proby
(ARC Read) I fell so hard into this story. Kristen Proby has always been one of my comfort authors, but Pretty Little Scars reminded me exactly why. This story is emotional, hopeful, heart-wrenching, and deeply romantic all at once. It hurts before it heals, and watching that healing unfold was one of the most rewarding…
After Hours by Hannah Cowan
Hannah Cowan really has a talent for writing books that are equal parts emotional and ridiculously hot, and After Hours is no exception. From the moment Brielle and Roman started sharing page time, I was completely invested. The tension between them is immediate, but what I loved most was how much depth Hannah packed into…
Saving the Shortstop by Hannah Gray
(ARC Read) Saving the Shortstop completely blindsided me in the best possible way. “I always said if I ever got the chance to kiss you again, I’d never want to stop.” I went into this book expecting a fun college sports romance, but what I got was one of the most emotionally impactful romances I’ve…
Against the Current by Erin Hawkins
(ARC Read) Against the Current was pure rom-com chaos in the best possible way, and I had such a great time with Whitney and Connor. Whitney Shields might actually be my spirit animal. She’s funny, impulsive, endlessly entertaining, and has absolutely no filter when it comes to speaking her thoughts out loud. Beneath all of…
Darling Daffodils Farm by Brittanée Nicole
Darling Daffodils Farm was one of those books that completely snuck up on me. I went in expecting a sweet, cozy small-town romance set on a flower farm, and somehow ended up emotionally attached to an entire community, a field full of daffodils, and one of the grumpiest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of…
Booked on You by Lyra Parish
(ARC Review) Booked on You is the kind of romance that makes you want to pack a bag, rent a charming cottage by the water, and hope a gorgeous man is waiting next door. Scarlett arrives in Charleston desperate for a fresh start. Burned by heartbreak and struggling to write after her ex turned her…
