The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan
4.0
I read The Kingmaker for my Blackford Book Babes book club, and I was not prepared for what I got! I especially didn’t think I would need to read the second book, The Rebel King, immediately afterward! This duet isn’t like any romance I’ve read before and, while it wasn’t exactly a win for everyone in the club, I really enjoyed Maxim and Lennix’s story and recommend it.

The House by Christina Lauren
4.0
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve read a spooky read, and this gave me Goosebumps vibes with the thread of romance CLo is known for to keep me engrossed.
I knew this was YA, so I adjusted my expectations accordingly, but CLo’s writing, plot and relationship development definitely exceeded them. I made it about 70 pages in before I decided to start tabbing because I was finding too many moments and lines I wanted to save.
I loved both Gavin and Delilah right away, especially Delilah. She was a wild card, confident, unique, and a total badass. And Gavin was just the absolute sweetest! Their connection was genuine and unbreakable.
This story brings up so many questions that require answers and CLo did an amazing job of answering EVERY one of them and filling every potential plot hole. I really appreciated the nuance and effort they put into this story.
Christina Lauren has never let me down, and their streak continues with this genre anomaly in their backlist. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend you add it to your spooky, fall TBR!!

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
4.0
I read The Charm Offensive in February and it became one of my favorite romances of all time, so you can guess how excited I was to get an early copy of Alison’s latest sapphic romance!
As with The Charm Offensive, Alison brought her A game in this story when it comes to LGBTQ+, sexuality, and mental health representation. However, I think this was a case of the wrong book at the wrong time for me as I was in the throes of a reading slump. It took me a month to get through, and I kept putting it down to try other reads.
The artistic angle of the story felt unique to me with the way she incorporated Ellie’s webcomic series into the past and present plotlines. I loved the nod to While You Were Sleeping (one of my favorite rom-coms), the grandmas, and the family dynamics—but the relationships all fell a bit flat for me. I didn’t connect with the insta-love in this case between Ellie and Jack (maybe dual POV would have helped
