This book was everything! 

I love a good sports romance and do appreciate the popularity of car racing/F1 romance, but this one did fall a little flat. While I appreciated the storytelling, it was a little predictable and the relationship went from -50 to 100 really quick (there needed to be a stepping stone or something). A redemption for this book was Xavier’s family, I enjoyed the scenes with them in it.

This book was a quick and easy read that I found sweet, spicy and nerdy. Learning Curves doesn’t have much in terms of conflict and everything gets resolved quickly. Definitely one to pick up if you like academia themed novels and would like to diversify your reading.

I enjoyed this one, but I still preferred Lights Out. 

I absolutely adore this series and i’m so glad I got an arc of Pucking Strong! This book was so good and loved the connection between Teddy and Henrik, their chemistry was perfect. I loved the m/m romance and demisexual rep. My favourite trope was also in this book: marriage of convenience !! If I was an emotional reader, this book would have for sure made me cry. Pucking Strong made me smile and have all the warm and fuzzy feelings. 
Get this series on your tbr asap!

I have never read a Stacey McEwan book, but when I watched a video at The Romance Readers Department @simonschusterau event last year where Stacey McEwan was promoting A Forbidden Alchemy, I HAD to read it…and I don’t regret this decision.
This book has helped continue my love of fantasy reading. It was easy to get into and read, I was shocked with every plot twist and the scenes really came to life with every page turn. This book was *chefs kiss* and I need book 2 ASAP.

This book was fast paced and easy to read. I liked the ‘moments in time’ layout, but I wish I had some flashbacks to the past to get the previous connection between Dax and Abby. I did also find it annoying that Abby was the one to lose her job because of the relationship and I couldn’t get behind Silas as a side character (he’s a turd). I did like the positive spin at the end for Abby, but I really do not like when women are impacted because of the actions of both parties involved. 
Besides my complaints, I did like the relationship between Dax and Abby and found this a read I did like.

I love The Bachelor-style romances and when I heard that we were being blessed with a third The McBrides Of Montana book with this trope, I was so excited! I do quite enjoy this series and this one was so good too. I loved the banter, the cowboy era America and the steamy romance that I love from Amy Barry. The only minor let downs were Junebug (I understand her existence as a character, but she’s so annoying) and the miscommunication trope. Other than that, a really good continuation of the series and I’m hoping for a book four or sequel series. 

After the initial confusion of POVs (read via audiobook), I really enjoyed this one. 


This book had me intrigued from the beginning and I found it a quick read to get through. I loved the neurodivergent and mental health rep and do think it was written well. The only thing that let me down was how quick some of the emotional reactions between Lilah and Arthur came on.
