I've start getting into Romantasy and I'm so happy I'm giving it a try! Quicksilver is an amazing story and it has an wicked combination of Fae, humans, gods, vampires and of course magic 🧚💜🪄

Kingfisher is a badass, dangerous, powerful and super attractive Fae and at first I thought he was pretty rough with Saeris but over time he starting showing his loyal, flirtatious, protective, and selfless he really is.

 Saeris, I love her and how much of a boss she can be💜 She stands her ground and will state her mind! The moment these two are together theres so much witty banter,

tension and we can't forget the spice😏

they will keep you on your toes for sure! AND I can't forget the amazing sidekick, Carrion! I love him, period😂

I totally recommend listening to the audiobook too, it's SO good! 

I love this story so much and can't wait for book 2🫶💜

This is the 3rd book in the One More chapter series and just wow this book had me right from the start. This book is a tribute to bookstagram/bookgrammers!❤️

The Fake Script is Emma's second chance with love when she reunites with her high school sweetheart, Auston Buckley. Auston is back and is filming a movie in Emma's bookstore and Emma's hired as a consultant to help Auston prepare for the movie! Pretty much from the moment they saw each other the sparks started to fly❤️ 

I love absolutely everything about this story and couldn't recommend it more! This book is now available as of today January 10th, 2025! 

Thank you for having me on your ARC team🫶❤️

Wow, this book and the entire series will forever have a special place in my heart. Hillary, your writing blows me away every time and you are officially one of my favourite authors🫶🥰

Chase and Lily's story is the sweetest and also touches on some extremely tough situations that honestly need to be talked about a lot more! The support and love Chase received while he was going through one of the most difficult times in his life just warmed my heart ❤️  there's so much awesome banter and the connection between all the characters is amazing. There was a lot of high and low moments in this book and overall series, and it will definitely have you feeling all of the emotions.

What an amazing series to start the year off with! 10 out of 10 recommend! 6/5⭐️ if I could 🫶🥰

Oh this book was such a wild ride, I don't even know where to start! This book is definitely on the darker side of dark romance, and I'm totally here for it. 🖤

Crispin is an alpha who think he's possessed by a demon and has a bit of a stalker side. Crispin and Fiona were together but they had a falling out and it wasn't on good terms. They end up running into each other 10 years later and the tension is definitely there and that's when the fun really begins 😏❤️

Kathleen, your writing is amazing and thank you for having me a part of this wild ride and on your ARC team! 🖤🫶

I love this book SO much and I feel like I have a lot in common with Avery and this is the first time I've really connected with a character🫶 This was sweetest story but it also has so many crazy twists to it some bad but mainly good 🥰❤️ 

Ryan and Avery's story will always be one of my favourites! The love and chemistry these 2 have is so beautiful. Ryan knew who he wanted right from the start and that never changed. Avery thought Ryan deserved better due to a health diagnosis she received and she ended up leaving him. They were apart for 7 years but Ryan came back to Toronto to win his woman back and thankfully everything ended up working out for the best❤️

I honestly am loving this series so much and am now starting book 3, Wild Pucker! Hilary, I absolutely adore your writing! ❤️ I highly recommend this book!

OMG!!!!! I just love everything about this book from the plot to the characters just everything!!!! I love Luke and Hollys connection so much and how they were able to get through all the obstacles that try to keep them apart. 🥰
Luke is the captain for the Toronto Northman and his coach wants him to clean up his image with the media relations team, where he happens to meet Avery and Holly. He's needing to pick up his keys from a bar where he happens to meet Holly and she ends up getting sick on his shoes. Regardless to that embarrassing situation, Luke finds Holly extremely attractive and will find a way to get to know her better. This book has a few twist that will definitely keep you on your toes.

Definitely a 5 ⭐️ read and an amazing first read for the year 2025❤️ i'm already halfway through the second book of the series, Sweet pucker!!

There's something about hockey romances that I just love and can't get enough of and this one I can add to my list. This is the third book in the Lessons to love series, it was fun and cute read and the characters are likeable😊
Luke is the captain for his college hockey team and Jax is a TikTok influencer who's now responsible for getting more publicity for the college hockey team! Of course there's some spice 😏 🌶️
If you like college hockey romances and opposites attract tropes this books for you! Book was released and February 6th, 2024 and this is my ARC review ❤️
