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…
Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne
This book was pure heaven; a love story years in the making, if only Brooks can finally stick the landing. Brooks Watson has carried a torch for Lottie Owens for most of his life. But when his brother left her standing in a wedding dress, humiliated in the middle of town, Brooks knew he might…
Dead Rinker by Ruth Stilling
Ruth Stilling has firmly secured her place on my must-read list. I can always count on her to deliver a story I can dive into with complete confidence, knowing I’ll come away more than satisfied. Her books are a perfect mix of angst, spice, and heart, and Dead Rinker is no exception. It delivers all…
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…
Change of Hart by Bailey Hannah
I feel like I’ve just run an emotional marathon—my mind and heart are exhausted, but in the best possible way. That’s what the best books do: they pull you in, make you feel like you’re right there in the trenches with the characters, and only let you go when the time is right. It’s all-consuming,…
What Hurts Us by Maggie Gates
I came across this series by accident, and I am so glad I did. What Hurts Us is one of those stories that gets under your skin and lingers for days. It’s emotional and a little raw, but also full of so much hope. It’s the kind of story that sticks with you long after…
Seeing Red by Bailey Hannah
I’ll admit it, I’m guilty of jumping into a series completely out of order. Should I start with book one? Probably. Do I actually do that? Rarely! Seeing Red was my very first Bailey Hannah read, and even going in with zero expectations, I was completely blown away by the depth of her character development….
