Beachside Kisses With My Enemy by Kristin Canary

5.0

 I fell in love with Kristin Canary’s writing last year! This book gave me everything I wanted in the next book of the Hallmark Beach series! I love enemies to lovers, and this book did not disappoint. The banter between Lucy and Blake is spot on!

I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

5.0

I love everything Annah Conwell writes, and this book does not disappoint. This book has romance, tension, playful banter, and swoony kisses. What more could you want? I loved seeing Shaw and Sutton from The Golden Goal! 

I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Melodies and Mistletoe by Kasey Stockton

4.0

 This is the 3 book in the Christmas in the City series! It's a standalone, so you don't need to read the first 2 books.

I love the enemies-to-lovers vibes this book gives off! Hailey and Ryan are so great together. If you need a quick, Christmas read give this one a try!

You can listen to this on YouTube.

I didn't know I needed a Cotswolds Christmas celebration, but Kasey Stockton delivers! Rhys and Luna are so great together! I love the found family feeling that the pub brings! I also love that an unexpected escape leads Luna to find the place she belongs!

You can listen to the audiobook on Youtube! The narrator is great!
