What to expect: second chance, Crohn's, fun piercing

5.0

What to expect: forced proximity, workplace romance, single guardian, grumpy (him) / sunshine (her), no third act break-up, found family

I lovedddddddddd this one!! Finn and Millie were amazing!

Jillian handled various more serious topics really well, while also creating a story filled with joy. I loved seeing these two fall in love and become a part of each other's lives.

I def recommend this one!

Hopeless by Elsie Silver

4.5

What to expect: age gape (he’s older), fake engagement, forced proximity (roommates), virgin fmc 

The final book in this series did not disappoint! I love a good fake dating/fake engagement storyline and this one was so much fun.

I loved how the women (and the guys) from the previous books welcomed her with open arms.

The ptsd rep was done well and my heart was so heavy for Beau.

The two of them together was wonderful  I loved how obsessed and patient they were with each other 

Spice: 3.5/4 for positive sex toy use!! We love to see it

Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen

4.5

What to expect: opposites attract, second chance, fate, forced proximity, workplace romance, art & space

I love the idea of fate so I really enjoyed this one! Her family dynamic was a blast, and they made me laugh a lot. I loved the entire time in NYC and was rooting for these two so hard. The combo of NASA and Chinese culture & traditions was so cool, too! I learned a lot about both -- and some butterfly facts too

Spice: none
A Thief in the Night by KJ Charles

4.0

What to expect: one night stand, forced proximity, workplace romance

This one was a lot of fun! It was short and got right to the point. The humor and heart were really well done, plus there was some spicy scenes to mix it up!

If you like queer historical romance check it out!

Royal Valentine by Sariah Wilson

4.0

What to expect: secret royal, insta lust

This one was cute and had great accents in the audiobook! The story was fine, but I didn't love the meet-cute. Them spending time together was much better and I wished they had gotten a better meeting. Then ending was also a little twisty, which made me laugh (in a good way)

This one had nods to the previous book characters and I almost said "finally!!!" cause I thought there would have been more of that, so I was glad it was in here

Spice: kissing
With Any Luck by Ashley Poston

Go to review page

3.5

What to expect: one night stand, wedding, maid of honor & best man, cursed FMC, flashbacks

This one was fine, wedding best man/maid of honor situations are always fun (especially when they're switched up like in this one). The situation was funny, but it almost felt like there was so much focus on her that I forgot about the missing groom. The ending came up really suddenly and I don't like that she didn't remember the night before due to drinking (iykyk)

Spice: 2 (not a full scene)

5.0

What to expect: midsize/curvy rep, earthquake, forced proximity (trapped), enemies-ish/dislike to lovers, baked goods

I loved this one! I thought it was really funny and the dislike to lovers was really fun. It also made me want pastries 

Spice: kissing/making out
