Yours to Lose by Samantha Brinn
What in the world was this book? I picked it up expecting to find another book boyfriend and instead found a book girlfriend in Jo Evans and a story that had me feeling every emotion imaginable. Samantha Brinn took a love-after-loss storyline, handled it with incredible care, and delivered a romance that felt hopeful, healing,…
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…
Irresistibly Us by Samantha Brinn
(ARC Read) Samantha Brinn, I need to send you an invoice for emotional damages because Irresistibly Us completely took over my life. I knew going in that Tyler and Sophie’s story was going to be special. It was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and somehow it still exceeded every expectation I…
Jace by Kelly Finley
(ARC Read) I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to say goodbye to the Belles & Bratva series after Jace because Kelly Finley absolutely saved the best for last.

My Forever Girl by Laura Pavlov
(ARC Read) From the very first page, My Forever Girl felt like coming home. Gracie and Cutler’s journey from lifelong best friends to soulmates was beautifully written and impossible not to become emotionally invested in. There was something so achingly beautiful about watching them realize that the person they had always needed had been standing…
Make Me by Adriana Locke
(ARC Read) Adriana Locke really said “what if we weaponize yearning?” and then unleashed Hartley Adler on all of us. I consumed Make Me like a woman with zero self-control and absolutely no interest in acting responsibly once Hartley Adler showed up. There was absolutely no chance I was putting this book down once I…
The Pact by Ava Sutton
(ARC Read) You know those books that completely consume your life for a few days and then leave you emotionally stranded when they’re over? Yeah… The Pact was that book for me. Ava Sutton took one of my favorite romance setups, the “if we’re still single at thirty” pact between best friends, and somehow turned…
Draft Pick by Indy Valentine
(ARC Read) Draft Pick snuck up on me in ways I wasn’t expecting. I knew I was going to find a fun baseball romance with gorgeous men, but what I got was something so much more emotional, tender, and honestly? One of the sweetest portrayals of parenthood I’ve read in a long time. “I’m weak…
Ryder by Jessica Peterson
(ARC Review) One hard fall in the rodeo ring. One maddeningly gorgeous cowboy. One chance at love she swore she’d never take… and wow, Jessica Peterson absolutely delivered with Ryder. I have been waiting for Ryder Rivers, and this man did not disappoint. If you know me, you know I love my cowboys, and Ryder?…
