A Temporary Forever by Maxine Henri
4.5
This was my first book by Maxine Henri, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last. I started this book promising myself I’d read just a few chapters before bed—and then I stayed up way too late finishing it. Oops. But honestly, I don’t regret a thing.
The story is a beautiful blend of romance, spice, and the kind of found family dynamic that hits you right in the feels. The chemistry between the main characters was electric, and the emotional depth in their journey kept me hooked from start to finish. It’s the perfect mix of steamy and heartfelt, balancing swoon-worthy moments with a genuine exploration of love and connection.
If you’re looking for a book that will sweep you off your feet and leave you feeling warm and happy, this is it. Maxine Henri just gained a new fan in me.

Yesterday's News by Katie Cawood
The writing is fresh, authentic, and so incredibly relatable. From the first page, I felt like I was sitting in on real conversations with real people—not characters but friends I’d instantly clicked with. The way the girls talk about sex as just a natural, unapologetic part of who they are? Chef’s kiss. It’s not performative or out of place—it’s just them, and it’s perfect.
Now let’s talk about Chase and Meghan. Adorable doesn’t even begin to cover it. Their chemistry jumps off the page in such a genuine, grounded way that I couldn’t help but root for them from start to finish. Their relationship isn’t drenched in drama for drama’s sake—it’s real, it’s messy, and it’s absolutely swoon-worthy.

I’m officially a Katie Cawood fan for life! Yesterday’s News is my first dive into her work, and wow, I couldn’t have picked a better starting point. This book feels like it was written just for me.

This book has it all: heart, humor, and characters you just want to hug (or grab a drink with). If this is Katie Cawood’s standard, I’m 100% hooked. I already can’t wait to devour more of her stories. Yesterday’s News is an absolute must-read. 💕
