Madison Avenue Mediator by Nicole Sanchez
5.0
What to expect: dash of forbidden romance (divorce attorney/client), pregnancy story line
From book one I was curious about Ainsley and I was glad we got to see more of her. The opening of the book is a blast, and I was cackling at the situation. Nicole does a fantastic job with humor throughout the book.
One of my favorite parts was how much of a badass Ainsley was, after not the best luck, she finally takes her life into her own hands and kicks ass.
The romance with Ken was spicyyy and romantic, and I was happy to see Ainsley get the happy ending she deserved!
Spice: 3.5/4

What to expect: trans & gay MMC, supernatural, coming of age, def could make you cry
I really enjoyed this one! The audio was fantastic and the story really sucks you in. I loved the paranormal aspect and I learned a lout about Latinx culture. I absolutely loved the rep in the book and Yadriel's journey to become himself and show others who he is too.
Spice: light kissing, YA book

What to expect: age gap (5 years, he's older), ADHD & panic attack rep, brother's best friend, small town, cowboys
I really enjoyed this one! I loved how sweet it was, and once it got spicy it was spicyyy. Emmy and Luke were adorable together and I loved his support of her! I also really enjoyed her family and friends, and the hints of future books.

Shop Cats of New York by Tamar Arslanian
5.0
I definitely didn’t cry reading a book about shop cats in New York City…
I also definitely didn’t cry when I realized this book was published in 2016 and that some of these cats might no longer be around…

So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole
4.5
What to expect: dragons, sisters, BIPOC leads, queer leads (sapphic & demi), PTSD
One thing I loved about this one was that it takes place AFTER a war-I'm always wondering how characters are doing after so it was cool to see that here.
I love all the representation in the book, and the sisters?! Ugh love
Overall, a great YA fantasy and I'll be looking out for the second one!
Spice: YA, kissing
