This is my first cowboy romance and it was such a good start! In Flawless, we follow Rhett and Summer. Rhett is a bull-riding 2 time champion and Summer is his agents daughter who is tasked with keep Rhett in line for the last 2 months leading up to his next championship. Summer is a new hire at her dad’s firm trying to do her best and is tasked to babysit Rhett. We get forced proximity, grumpy x sunshine, and forbidden romance all in one! I did love seeing both characters grow into the people they wanted to be and I loved how the end finished off their story. I do think there were a couple plot points left a bit open but I’m thinking they will tie up nicely in other books in the series since they have to do with other characters. Overall I really enjoyed this first book and I’m excited to continue the series!

This is the second book of an interconnected series following Camila and Reece on their Hawaii vacation. Camila is a talented videographer for Reece who is a YouTuber who does crazy stunts and pranks for millions of followers. When Reece is left at the altar while live-streaming, his manager comes up with a plan for Cam to fake date him while in they are in Hawaii promoting a love resort to boost his image. If you read the first book in this series and thought it was hilarious then this one will definitely make you laugh out loud! The crazy situations both characters end up in during this vacation had me LMAO! Additionally, the two characters stories came together so perfectly and beautifully. The entire atmosphere and story felt like real life while reading and it left me wanting to continue to watch their life on their livestreams! I also loved the way they were still able to weave in Aunt Deb into this one 🤭 I can’t wait for the next one! I think that one will end up being my next favorite!

Another great story from Shae Ruby! This one is the first in a mafia series that is setting up such an amazing group of characters! It follows Emiliano and Cole navigate these new big feelings for each other while in the middle of a mafia war. Emiliano is the Don of the Italian mafia and he saved Cole after his mom and stepdad were killed. Emiliano introduced Cole to his son who was around his age at the time and they grew up together. This is a beautiful age gap where age is truly nothing but a number. Although Cole grew up best friends with Emiliano’s son Matteo, he only ever had eyes for Emiliano. After he is released from prison, he goes to live with Emiliano and Matteo where the heat turns up between him and Emiliano. I enjoyed reading this one and I flew through it! I felt it was easy to get into and Shae does a good job at sucking you into their universe. Their love proved to be unbreakable and that was so refreshing to see in a book. Shae did a good job at setting up the next book in the series too and I’m so excited to read that one! I definitely recommend this one and I already know I’ll recommend this series!

In my book, Lauren Asher writes masterpieces! She makes it’s so easy to fall in love with the characters and stories. This is the second in an interconnected series following Rafael and Ellie. Rafael is a billionaire single dad and Ellie is the live in nanny for his 9 year old son. You get that forbidden romance and forced proximity vibes. Ellie is a musical lyric genius but when she was burned by her supposed “best friend” in LA she moves back and starts as a music tutor which then leads to her nanny gig. I loved watching all the love Ellie gave throughout this series even when she had so many reasons to hold back her love. I loved that she was able to help Nico (the 9 year old son) and Rafael grow into themselves throughout the story. There was so much character growth for all 3 of them and it was beautiful to witness through the pages. I loved how their relationships developed and I hope we get to see more of them in the next book!

This one takes place right after the second book and continues to follow Dawsyn, Ryon, and their whole crew as they continue to fight against the suppressors of this world. I really enjoyed this book even though I will say it took me longer than I thought to finish it. I loved the character growth you see throughout the entire series and the way the story unfolded in this final installment made sense and was satisfying. I do wish we had a more concrete conclusion to what happened to the characters after everything but I also like the open ending so I can make it how I want it. So I have my own ending in my head that I can love and adore for the rest of time. I’ll definitely be checking out whatever Stacey McEwan puts out next!

The final installment of the never after series and it did not disappoint! This is a fun little mermaid inspired story where Venessa (Ursula) actually gets the guy! Venessa works for her Uncle who is a wealthy morally grey business owner in the south who gets whatever he wants! Enzo is the mafia prince from New York and engaged to Venessa’s cousin Aria. They aren’t supposed to fall in love but when those they think they trust betray them, they finally realize what’s important and who they should have put their trust in the whole time. I love how Emily McIntire is able to really make the reader hate the characters that you love in the original story it’s inspired by. It’s no secret that Ursula in the original Little Mermaid is a villain and isn’t who we should be rooting for but in McIntire’s reimagined version, I couldn’t imagine not rooting for her! Enzo was one of the best MMC I’ve read in a long time and I couldn’t get enough of the way he would bend over backwards for those he loved. Watching their love blossom and grow was beautiful. I absolutely adored them and I love them out loud in this lifetime! 🫶🏻

Love is definitely complicated in this story of heartbreak and healing! We follow Melissa and Will navigate an unusual meet cute and the complicated timeline of their love. Will is a police officer who meets Melissa when she gets arrested for breaking and entering into a salon of the woman who her husband had an affair with. Melissa is a single mother of two adorable children and she designs beautiful weddings for couples while her business partner plans the whole thing! Together they just make sense!! The way Will shows Melissa all the love she deserves is completely swoon worthy! Melissa gets too in her head about things because of past trauma and this story really highlights the effects of trauma that a person may not even realize is trauma and can be helped by talking to a professional. I appreciated that representation of mental issues that can come from terrible circumstances in your life even when from appearances you shouldn’t have anything to complain about! It showed the importance of communication and self care even if there are others relying on you and I think that is an important message for everyone. Overall, I enjoyed this book so much and I’m definitely going to be reading the next one!

This is Tracy and Blake’s second book for this series but the 3rd book in the overall series and I devoured it! After getting Tracy and Blake’s backstory in Taunting Tracy, it was so satisfying to see the fall out of what happens. I could relate to some of Tracy’s mental health issues which was healing in a way to see it from an outside perspective like that. I felt so heartbroken with the way she chose to deal with some of the things she was saying to herself in her head. I just wanted to reach through the pages and shake Tracy a lot of the time but I also just wanted to hug her until she felt better. I also felt so bad for Blake because he was in the dark about so much for so long and I just wanted to tell him. Overall though their love is so beautiful and I wish someone loved me enough to try forcing me to marry him 🥹 Their love is unconditional and I loved every second of reading it! If you would like to read this series, make sure to check all the trigger warnings cause it is definitely a dark romance!

This was such a cute romantic comedy! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. This story follows Katie and Matteo as they go on this spectacular Italy vacation where Matteo guides the group Katie is part of to fall in love with Italy! The writing does an amazing job of creating that ambiance you would expect from an Italian guided vacation. I loved all the characters and they were so much fun to get to know! I laughed out loud so much while reading and just truly enjoyed the story. I loved how the story had me laughing all the time but also wasn’t afraid to discuss serious topics as well. The character growth in this book was top tier! I loved how the characters seemed to grow into themselves and it seemed like Katie and Matteo just grew into their love. I loved the setup for the sequel and now I’ll be patiently waiting (or maybe impatiently 😝) for the next one! If you want a cute fluffy summer romance that has spice, look no further! This is the one for you 😉

This is the second book in the Falling series and it was even better than the 1st book in my opinion! This book follows Tasha and Trevor who are best friends of the couple in the first book. Tasha has some metal barriers she’s created because of her childhood which causes her to push Trevor away at first. Trevor has wanted Tasha since the day they met even though he has been known to be a ladies man on the hockey team. Everything about this book was amazing! I loved how relatable Tasha was to me personally which made Trevor so endearing to me throughout the book because of the way he really saw her for her. Their love truly blossomed so beautifully and I loved every second of reading it 😍 This may be a tiny bit spoilery but I loved how what normally happens in the third act of a romance novel didn’t happen in this book! Although it didn’t have that (iykyk) I still felt satisfied and got all the emotions! I also loved Kenadee’s take on the common locker seen from sports romances in this one! There were so many typical romance novel parts that were completely unique and refreshing! Definitely give this series a read! It’s so good! 🫶🏻
