The Deal by Elle Kennedy

Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.

Guys filming girls making out at the party? No, thank you. I also felt the male love interest was very pushy, and not in a good way. Also felt the FMC’s sexual assault is just something for the MC to “conquer”

Kiss the Girl by Zoraida Córdova

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

I prefer my romance books to be short. I also felt it had a very juvenile prose compared to Orquídea. It was very jarring to read.

One of my favorite reads of the year, by far. Irene is my baby and deserved the world. Fake dating trope worked extremely well here.

This was much better than Twisted Love, but not by much. I love the Princess x bodyguard trope, and I thought it was executed well. The rest, not so much.
