Tag: IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
Flow by Tia Louise
(ARC Read) Give me all the peach references because Flow was sweet, juicy, and absolutely impossible to put down. Maverick Murphy might just be one of my new favorite book boyfriends. He’s patient, steady, reliable, funny, protective, and let’s be honest, very easy on the eyes. But what really makes him special is the way…
The Hockey Situation by Lyra Parish
(ARC Read) I am 100% in my feelings after this one. Wow. Lyra Parish—ma’am. Just when I think you can’t outdo yourself, you go and drop this emotional, spicy, chaotic masterpiece. Kendall and Patterson’s tension is hands-down some of the most scorching, raw, and emotionally charged I’ve ever read. These two don’t just dislike each…
Sweet Surrender by Bella Matthews
(ARC Review) This book ruined my sleep schedule, my emotional stability, and my ability to read at a reasonable pace. I was fully obsessed from the beginning to the close of the last page. Ashton and Jameson’s story feels unfinished. Like they were always meant to circle back to each other. Years of tension. One…
Safe Haven by Kristen Proby
(ARC Review) I’m not even going to pretend I was emotionally prepared for this book because I wasn’t. Safe Haven opens with Willow doing what she’s always done, putting everyone else first. After her sister abandons her son, Aiden, Willow steps in without hesitation and becomes his sole guardian. She isn’t just his aunt—she’s his…
Of Ink and Alchemy by Sloane St. James
I am still not okay after reading Of Ink and Alchemy. Like…it’s the morning after. I slept. I ate. I tried to be a functioning adult. And I am still thinking about Logan Teller. This book had everything.Spice. Obsession. Yearning. Torment. Found family. Suspense. A morally gray man waving red flags like he’s at a…
What It Takes by Willow Aster
Willow Aster was able to create such a beautiful, deeply satisfying read for me . It’s the kind of book that quietly works its way under your skin and then just lingers there. From the very beginning, I was pulled in by the the tension and the pull between Camden and Juliana, and that feeling…
Careless Storm by Katherine Jay
(ARC Review) This book completely consumed me from page one and never eased up. I went in expecting angst, but what I got was a deeply layered, emotionally relentless second-chance romance that kept peeling back new truths, new wounds, and new reasons to ache for these characters right up until the very end. Zane Fitzpatrick…
In A Heartbeat by Laura Pavlov
(ARC Review) Axel Chadwick and Wren Waterstone are the definition of it’s always been you. Best friends since childhood, bonded by horses, shared dreams, and a love that grew quietly for years, until it all shattered in one devastating moment. Two years later, Wren returns to Rosewood River after a career-altering equestrian accident, wounded in…
Where You Belong by Kristen Proby
(ARC Review) We all knew Brooks Blackwell’s story was going to wreck us a little, and Kristen Proby made sure of it. Fifteen years ago, Juliet didn’t walk away from the man she loved because she stopped loving him. She left because someone she trusted twisted her loyalty into something dangerous. What looked like a…
