Endless Summer Nights by Willow Aster
(ARC Read) Second-chance romances can be messy, emotional, and frustrating in all the best ways, and Endless Summer Nights reminded me exactly why they’ve become one of my favorite tropes. Willow Aster has created another story that pulls you right back into Windy Harbor, and I honestly didn’t want to leave. Five years after Lola…
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…
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…
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…
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. This finale delivered EVERYTHING—obsession, devotion, spice, tenderness, danger, emotional healing, family loyalty, and one of the most satisfying happily ever afters I’ve read in a long…
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…
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…
Risk the Play by Kaylee Ryan
(ARC Read) There’s just something about a big, intimidating football coach turning into a complete softie for the people he loves that gets me every single time, and Coach Will Warner absolutely had me melting. Risk the Play was tension-filled and wrapped in the kind of promise that keeps you turning pages just waiting for…
