this was such a cute and easy read. it follows beatrice who is a single mum trying to sort out custody arrangements with her ex-husband while her boss insists on biweekly trips to Ireland for work — where she is reunited with her high school sweetheart.
i was slightly hesitant when i first began reading this but i quickly fell in love with all of the characters and the writing style. it was so easy to follow and the pacing was perfect. the main character’s friends added another layer to this story too.
definitely recommend!!

this was a very cute f1 romance. it follows willow who has just graduated and is struggling to secure a job, and dev who’s reputation is up in flames due to a revenge post from his previous social media manager. as they grew up together and dev is best friends with willow’s brother oakley, dev offers willow the job to try and change his image.
this chemistry between dev and willow felt very natural but the book is ultimately quite forgettable. it’s nothing groundbreaking but it is a super easy and lighthearted read. this book was definitely written for a booktok audience but that is in no means meant to be said as a criticism — it is easy to follow and a really lovely romance novel.
my only critique of this book is that it had the very stereotypical mmc at the beginning who was desperate to get laid. i just want something different every now and then, it does get a bit samey. on the bright side the mmc was so in love with the fmc that the beginning was immediately forgotten about. there’s also a bonus epilogue so we have been TREATED!
but anyway i’ll definitely read more from this author and i did enjoy this read overall 🤍

this was a very cute christmas romance. i loved all of the characters but it definitely proved that the love triangle trope isn’t for me. (i’m happy with the endgame couple though).
a super lighthearted and easy read!

this was just the book i needed! i’m so frustrated that i didn’t pick it up sooner.
it follows three friends with their own storylines where they decide to sign up with the 24 hour dating agency, where they are matched with their supposed soulmate and have a 24-hour date with them.
i loved tamara and harry’s development and i knew it would be christian as milo’s date!! i sensed that russ and saffie would get together but i had NO idea he was richard. so so good.

absolutely loved this! this pregnancy trope was so well written and unique. i loved seeing the characters from ‘not in a billion years’ and the crossovers.
a second chance, single dad, (accidental but not) pregnancy romance 🌸🩷
Match Me If You Can by Sandy Barker

the fmc works at an exclusive matchmaking agency which is facing turmoil as someone threatens to expose them, while the mmc is an investment banker who needs to be married by his 35th birthday in order to receive his late grandfather’s inheritance. the fmc is assigned to his case and the two grow closer as they try to find the perfect bride for his marriage of convenience.
i did enjoy this as the plot was really unique and fast-paced. however, it was quite jumpy and i feel like their chemistry could have been better developed.
