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…
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.

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…

Goal Line by Julia Connors
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: childhood best friends to lovers is the best trope. Luke and Eva are a great example why this trope works so well. They have history. They have trust. They have inside jokes and corny stories they can use against each other. They have unconditional love and…
Fear of Love by Kenadee Bryant
This may just be my favorite girl gang read ever. When I say this book takes the top prize in the found family category, I truly mean it. I have never felt more wrapped up in a group of friends than I did while reading Kenadee Bryant’s upcoming release, Fear of Love. There were so…
Before We Came by Sloane St. James
Wow. Just…wow. When I turned the final page, I had to sit with my feelings for over an hour, completely overwhelmed, not even sure what I was feeling, only that I was feeling everything and I needed to feel it. I’ve never read anything quite like this. It wasn’t whiplash exactly, but there were so…
