Trying Not To Love You by Kaylee Ryan
(ARC Read) Kaylee Ryan is officially back in her small-town romance era, and I am LIVING for it! There’s just something about returning to a small town where everyone knows your history, where first love never really stays in the past, and where every missed opportunity somehow feels even bigger. Trying Not to Love You…
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…
Pretty Little Scars by Kristen Proby
(ARC Read) I fell so hard into this story. Kristen Proby has always been one of my comfort authors, but Pretty Little Scars reminded me exactly why. This story is emotional, hopeful, heart-wrenching, and deeply romantic all at once. It hurts before it heals, and watching that healing unfold was one of the most rewarding…
Small Town Smokeshow by Holly Renee
Ever since reading Cowboy Casual, I’ve been impatiently waiting for Hunter and Maggie’s story. Their chemistry practically jumped off the page in the first book, so my expectations for Small Town Smokeshow were sky-high. Somehow, Holly Renee still managed to exceed them. Hunter and Maggie are pure fire. Not the explosive, instant-combustion kind of chemistry,…
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…
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 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…
Safe Keeping by Kristen Proby
(ARC Read) This age gap, bodyguard romance absolutely hit for me. Gideon James, the ultimate definition of protective. Former Secret Service agent, now running his security training facility on his family’s ranch, and still carrying the weight of his past, especially the moment that ended his career. He’s controlled, a little grumpy, and he keeps…
Chasing the Fire by Paisley Hope
I genuinely don’t know how to put into words what Chasing the Fire did to me, but I’m going to try anyway, because this story deserves more than a quick, surface-level reaction. At its core, it’s about two people who don’t believe they’re worthy of the kind of love they’ve always wanted and what happens…
