this was so good on audio oh my god!!! i was gasping and gagging listening to it bc it was THAT hot! qb tyler's pen was ON let me tell you! 

the narrators were simply incredible. stephen dexter and audrey obeyn got a standing ovation from me in my bedroom!! this audiobook when triple platinum on my phone!!!

also i just know a single dad x nanny romance hates to see me coming! i loved everything about this book: the romance, the forbidden aspect (hehe), the story, the kids (!!!!) and the spice (oh my god the spice!!!) 

qb tyler knows what she's doing with an age gap romance and i hope she never stops writing them. 

thank you Must Love Audio and QB Tyler for the ALC, it's out in all formats on 4/1!!

i've been wanting to read v.e. schwab's debut novel for so long! i really enjoyed it even though it was a pretty simple story compared to her more complex works that she's known for now. but it was so cool to see that her books have always had a touch of the paranormal

jr ward is really out here writing side quests! i think she's being really ambitious with this series where she features a new couple + revisits a past couple from a previous bdb book ALL IN ONE BOOK! some of the romantic developments kinda get a fast forward, but at the end of the day, it works and i'm gonna read them, so jr ward wins!

SLOW CLAP FOR CHARLIE FLOREK

oh my god this book was incredible! since the moment i finished every summer after i KNEW i needed a charlie HEA more than i needed air, and we finally have it! 

this book was so fun and flirty but also deeply romantic, yet also somber and heartbreaking?? the duality of a romance book! 

charlie and alice were everything to me! their dynamic was so perfect. they surprised each other and complemented each other and understood each other like no other!!! i was so enthralled by their friendship that slowly turned into something more, which neither of them expected or were prepared for. i love it when love sneaks up on our main characters, and it was just as angsty and mutual pining-y (? stay with me here folks) as you would have expected! 

this was the perfect summer romance with the perfect summer fling and i just loved every second of it! 

thank you Berkley Romance and Netgalley for this earc! it's out everywhere on 5/6

really enjoyed this one!!! the mutual pining in a sci-fi alien mates book gave me a jump scare but it just taught me to always trust the process bc the ending was chef's kiss

oh god my nerves are shot!!! i have never been so stressed out reading a contemporary romance ever, but i think i loved it??? i truly felt like i was on that houseboat with lexi and zeke and actually fearing for my life!

this is one hundred percent a romance but it's also one hundred percent a survival story too!! the duality of a book!! i was on the edge of my seat but also kicking my feet! what a rollercoaster of emotions wow

this was my first beth o'leary book (and not my last!!) but i've been hearing that her books pack a punch and have really great reveals/plot twists and let me tell you, this one was punching and packing!! i cried, i laughed, i GASPED, and had an incredible time.

thank you Berkley Romance for this eARC, it's out everywhere on april 1!
