The Fate of Us by Holly Jukes

4.0

First of all, this book was just so cute! I absolutely loved the setting and the character developments. 

This romance is very slow burn but totally worth it, it takes Adaline and Nate a lot of time to finally figure what actually happened in the past and to get back together. Seeing them overcome their issues and find their love for each other back was so magical. 

If you’re looking for a soft, non spicy and extraordinary second chance romance this one is definitely for you. 

Come Break My Heart Again by C.W. Farnsworth

emotional inspiring slow-paced

The pacing and the dual timelines and POVs were just perfect to explain and explore Elle and Ryder’s story. Their chemistry is INSANE and the tension is incredible, their love story is raw, deep, painful and just beautiful. 

Despite her being from a rich family and being the most popular girl in school, Elle is very likeable and down to earth. I really liked Ryder, what he stood for and his personality even though he annoyed me in some parts where he didn’t stand up for himself and his relationship with Elle. They both went through so many ups and downs but you can tell that they were meant to be together from the start. 

The two things that would’ve made this book perfect is explaining Rose’s backstory and how she died and to see Ryder get over his insecurities and do something to prove to himself he’s better than what he thinks. 

I was waiting to read this book and my expectations were definitely met, I genuinely recommend this book to literally everyone… True love and soulmates find their way back to each other no matter what or how.

Over the Limit by K. Bromberg

hopeful inspiring lighthearted

“ALL THE ABOVE.” this quote it makes my heart skip a beat. 

Blair and Lachlan’s relationship is such a breath of fresh air, they compliment each other so well and the communication is there which I absolutely adore. The character’s growth is what made this book even more enjoyable. Considering the romance was forbidden, I loved that even though Blair and Lachlan had a lot at stake, they always made sure the other was doing good on every aspect. 

I didn’t want the story to end, I wish the last chapters were a little more detailed but still, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a lighthearted romance.

Someone in the Attic: The gripping, twisty new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing by Andrea Mara

mysterious tense

4.5

I wanted to start by saying that this book is SO creepy but it’s also what I loved about it. 

This book starts with a bang with Anya’s murder and then Julia and her daughter start discovering the chilling TikTok videos made in their house. As the story goes on, the suspense gets palpable and all you want to know is what is happening in the attic. 

Gabe acting weird, the sketchy neighbors, the past storyline… All the subplots sucked me in the book even more and kept me engaged until the big reveal. I didn’t figure out who did it and with all the twist and turns I genuinely suspected every single character. 

There’s a lot to say about this book but I don’t want to spoil so add it to yout tbr and read it asap, you won’t be disappointed!

Forgotten Desires by Corinne Michaels

emotional inspiring

5.0

I truly can’t express how much joy and happiness this book gave me, I smiled throughout the whole story. 

Brynlee and Crew are literally perfect for each other, even though their second chance romance started by a marriage of convenience, the way their feelings for each other resurfaced it was so pure and beautiful to witness.

The way Crew loves Brynlee and how he did everything for her and was there for her no matter was so heartwarming and I absolutely loved Bryn and Layla’s relationship. Also the nicknames in this book are beyond cute. 

Overall, i highly recommend. If you’re looking for a beautiful and wholesome love story this book is for you.

Full Throttle by Melanie Moreland

4.5

The chemistry, the dirty talk, the heat… This book has it all. Love me a guy that falls first and that’s exactly what happened when Dom met Cherry for the first time. 

Even though it took Dom a lot of convincing to make Cherry see that they belong together, she was always there for him when he was in trouble, she’s exactly what he needed. But once Cherry gave her trust to Dom, their love story became literally perfect. 

I cried so much and laughed so hard, this book has my heart. 

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

adventurous dark mysterious

4.0

This book is a suspenseful thriller that dives into the story of The Manor and the problem between the locals and the new rich people. With its multiple POVs and dual timelines, we’re confronted with an old murder from the past timeline that leads to a new one in the present timeline. 

I have to admit, at first I was slightly confused and wasn’t sure what was happening but once it started the make sense I absolutely loved this book. Lucy writing is so descriptive that it’s easy to get immersed into the creepy settings of The Manor and the woods and their folklore. 

I appreciated the end, how the past and the present were tied and how the plot unfolded and it all made sense at once. 

Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins for a digital ARC copy.

Common Grounds by Allie Samberts

4.0

This book is a light and cozy romance, and I absolutely love a he falls first moment. It’s refreshing to read a book where the main characters are in their late 30’s and early 40’s. 

From a one night stand to a beautiful relationship… Trevor is the true definition of a golden retriever character, he liked Emery from the very first moment he met her, he was always so positive which I really loved. On the other hand, Emery is also the true definition of a black cat character, her past trauma make it hard for her to give her trust. She did annoy me in some parts because she was acting in a childish way but I truly appreciated her character’s development. 

The side characters in this book were so fun and I would love to read about them too! 

Thank you Allie Samberts for a digital ARC copy.

Oh. My. God. For a debut novel this book is INSANELY good! The banter is top tier, the tension and slow burn are so hot, the chemistry between Amelia and Raley is amazing and bonus point for strong female friendships. 

This romance was so witty and heartwarming it made me giggle and smile till the very end. I’m obsessed with how Amelia and Riley’s friendship started, I absolutely loved how Riley was always there for her from the get go and how Amelia opened up slowly but surely and leaned to fully trust him, also let’s not forget their garden, that was one of my fav things about the book. And the nickname Riley has for Amelia makes it impossible not to fall in love with their love. 

I 100% recommend this book to literally ANYONE who hasn’t read it yet. This was truly such a breath of fresh air.

Thank you to H.L. Munn and Sunny Babe PR for a digital ARC copy. 

This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

5.0

I am obsessed with this book! This is THE perfect summer book/beach read. 

Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is on another level, you can feel their connection from their first meeting. The way their relationship evolves is just pure magic, even with all the ups and downs. The way they communicate about their feelings is so pure and genuine, and this is absolutely rare but I did appreciate the 3rd act break up in this book because it actually made sense. 

Now let’s talk about Lucy and Bridget, this is the kind of friendship everyone wants in life, a strong bond that transforms into a found family. Friendship soulmates do exist and Carley Fortune portrayed that perfectly. 

The beachy setting, the character growth, the romance, the relationships, the friendships… Everything is there to make you feel good.

This book was so comforting to me and I genuinely can’t wait for Carley’s next book.
