Kiss and Don't Tell by Meghan Quinn
4.0
The perfect balance of romance, comedy and spice. This was my first hockey romance and I loved it! Every moment you’re falling more in love with Pacey and Winnie. Meghan Quinn is just a phenomenal writer!
Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
3.0
The second book in the AGGGTM series and it was definitely still a page turner. I will admit the first book was by far better, but I did enjoy the continuation of the characters and the story line picking up where it left off. With a new missing person, there were even more twists and turns, and even more triggers. Overall a good read!
The Stillwater Girls by Minka Kent
4.0
Heartbreakingly beautiful! This book was more than what I expected! It may be short, but packed with so much. Two young girls living off the grid, left alone to fend for themselves. And a couple having what you think are marital issues. But somehow their stories intertwine in a devastating way.
As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
4.0
Wow. Just wow. This book, this series, had me on the very edge of my seat the whole way! Pip’s character was just created to perfection. This last book in the trilogy was by far the most intense. Packed with twists and turns, ups and downs. And the ending?? You can assume what happens after the trial has ended and the verdict is in, but I would’ve love to get a glimpse into Pip’s life after the verdict. Highly recommend this entire series!
The Wife Before by Shanora Williams
4.0
Would really rate this book a 3.75. Such an awesome book that is reminiscent of Verity by colleen hoover. Loved the dual POV of the main character, Samira, and the ex-wife of Samira’s husband. There are so many twists and turns that really make you wonder what is actually going on and who to believe.
Zora Books Her Happy Ever After by Taj McCoy
4.0
Zora isn’t necessarily looking for romance, not when she’s trying to build her empire and empower her community. But her close circle can’t wait for her to find the right man for her.
An unexpected love triangle with added spicy content, this book was so good from start to finish! I loved the indie bookstore representation, the black community power flowing through, and the cute humor that played throughout the book!

The Book Swap: A Funny and Uplifting Romance for Book Lovers! by Tessa Bickers
4.0
let me start off by saying I had high hopes for this book! after finishing it, I definitely have mixed feelings. because the first half was not good, but the second half was AMAZING!
erin is still grieving the lost of her best friend while trying to find her place in the world. james similarly is coping with his own sense of loss and struggle while figuring out his life too. but what they don’t expect is a little library in between their neighborhoods where they start swapping books after leaving notes in the margins. and what begins as just notes on the books quickly turns into getting to know one another more deeply through the pages of these books.
they both share broken hearts, but with the help of their third wheel, they’re able to not only find a way back to each other but also figure out the directions of their lives and mend their family relationships too!
hugeee thank you to Harlequin Publishing and NetGalley for this arc of The Book Swap!

Barely Even Friends by Mae Bennett
3.0
a steamy beauty and the beast grumpy/sunshine romance! my initial thoughts were this story is going slow and I wasn’t as invested. but as it progressed more, you really start to enjoy the main characters and the passion that blooms between them. it was beautiful to see both oliver and bellamy bloom into their own people. and oliver’s cute nickname for bellamy left me swooning! there are also some spicy scenes that come towards the end of the book.
A Beginner's Guide to Starting Over by Gabi Coatsworth, Gabi Coatsworth
2.0
molly stevenson is finding her way and learning to stand on her own all over again. as a new widow and exploring dating while also being a business owner with financial struggles, it feels as though she’s struggling with every part of her life. but molly doesn’t realize she has more support and help in her corner than she realized. as she navigates these new challenges and overcoming new obstacles, she manages to find grounding and stability with the new life she’s creating for herself.
genuine thoughts on the book — not my most favorite read. there are cute moments and it was very heart warming to see the main character take the lead on her life again, but the major plot of the story fell short for me. there weren’t a lot of exciting moments that drew me back in and wanted me to continue reading.

The Therapist by S.A. Falk
4.0
If you were a fan of the silent patient, then you’re truly enjoy this one! From start to finish, I could not put this book down. Told from the POV of the main character, Dr Fletcher, you embark on a journey with her of trying to solve the murder cases that have some connection to her newest patient. Little do you know how the connection relates even more to the psychiatrist.
