Thank you PRH audio for the gifted copy!
What to expect: small town, dating lessons, grumpy (him) / sunshine (her), opposites attract. stern brunch daddy
I enjoyed this one! I was glad to see character growth by the end of the book - cause I was getting worried for a sec lol. Overall, I love the dynamic of these two together and the snow town vibes were so perfect
Spice: closed door/fade to black

Spice: 3 (for all)

When in Rome by Sarah Adams
4.5
What to expect: forced proximity, small town, celebrity, grumpy (him)/sunshine (her), opposites attract, cinnamon roll MMC
While I didn't love the Cheat Sheet, I really enjoyed When in Rome and was pleasantly surprised by it! I loved the celebrity storyline, and the small town vibes were great. The whole cast of characters was really well thought out and the romance was so swoony.
I also loved the way heavier topics were covered in this one
Spice: kissing, closed door romance

What to expect: it's a dark serial killer romcom checked the content notes in the beginning of the book omg
No notes. 10/10. Don't eat while reading this one.
I'm not usually a fan of gore but this one really didn't bother me at all and idk what that says about me
Spice: 4, check content notes

I'm So (Not) Over You by Kosoko Jackson
4.0
What to expect: fake dating, second chance, more focus on race/class differences/queerness compared to romance
Enjoyed this one! The pop culture references were fun (and included some of my favorite shows)
I thought there would be more romance in this one, but I loved the discussion on all things race/class/queerness

The Keeper by Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes

A good black horror graphic novel! The art was really well done (and definitely scary at some points)
The story was also really well done, unsettling, and heartwarming by the end
