Fallin’ Tides by Tori Ford
(ARC Read) I fell in love with Holly River almost immediately. Fallin’ Tides gave me all the cozy fall, quirky small-town vibes I could have asked for, complete with local businesses, fall festivities, a dream bookshop, an unhinged girl gang, and the kind of town where everyone knows everyone and probably knows their business too….
Under Pressure by Hannah Cowan
Beckett Rourke absolutely knocked it out of the park for me. Is he a little cheesy? Yes. Does the way his ass looks in tight baseball pants more than make up for it? Also yes. But underneath all that shameless flirting, ridiculous confidence, and baseball-player charm is a man who is completely, hopelessly gone for…
Cinder by Hailey Rodger
It’s been over twenty-four hours since I finished Cinder, and I’m still carrying it around with me. The grief. The hope. The joy. The ache. Some books break your heart just to see if they can put it back together again, and somehow this one managed to do exactly that. I know it because I’d…
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,…
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…
Good Hands by Maggie Gates
(ARC Read) Maggie Cordelia Gates! Okay, yes, I know that’s her pen name and I’m about 99.9% sure it’s not actually her middle name, but just let me have this moment because I’m clearly unwell after finishing this book. We all already know Maggie is an auto-buy author for me, but I’m also usually a…
The Roommate Rules by Brighton Walsh
(ARC Review) Move over Steele brothers, because Declan is officially my favorite. I did not see that coming, but here we are. If tension could be heard, it would sound like the nonstop spark between Declan and Penelope. From the second they’re on the page together, their banter is quick, sharp, and just a little…
Fire and Ice by Carly Robyn
(ARC Read) Some books hook you with drama, some with spice, but Fire and Ice pulled me in with personality. From the very first chapters, Kennedy and Cameron felt like real people I wanted to spend time with. Their banter is effortless, their chemistry sneaks up on you, and the emotional moments hit in a…
Just Another Summer Crush by Lyra Parish
(ARC Read) When I get an ARC from Lyra Parish, everything else immediately goes on hold, and Just Another Summer Crush was no exception. I picked this up and finished it in one afternoon because I simply couldn’t put it down. This book is sunshine, salt air, chemistry, and just the right amount of spice…
Ice Shy by K.M. Gillis
(ARC Read) There’s something about Ice Shy that just quietly settles into your heart and refuses to leave. K.M. Gillis delivered a story that feels incredibly real, deeply emotional, and grounded in the kind of love that grows slowly, patiently, and beautifully over time. Arthur “Ace” Stetson and Elliot Baker may honestly be one of…
