Review: Beach Read by Emily Henry

Review: Beach Read by Emily He..

This was one of the most hyped books on my TBR for 2020. I heard it was a lovely, summery read that would whisk me away from the day to day drudgery. I can’t remember whose review or blurb I read but LIES! You owe me a new kleenex box! Beach Read was absolutely not what I expected! Or rather, my strong reaction to the story and characters wasn’t what I expected. I adored January’s wit and flaws. She felt […]

Aubrey and Landon were an adorable mess of a Korean-American couple that had me experiencing some serious culinary envy right from the start. Seriously, the food descriptions were probably my absolute favorite element to the story beyond the intense chemistry between the two lovebirds. I found myself snacking while reading and lamenting that I didn’t have any of those decadent ice cream sandwiches on hand! A Sweet Mess uses a pretty standard one night stand, enemies, then lovers formula that […]

Review: A Hero for Hailey by D.E. Haggerty (ARC)

Review: A Hero for Hailey by D..

I am so pleased to have a chance to read Haggerty’s latest and start to a new series Love will OUT. Honestly, I had a hard time choosing a rating for this one. I had no problem picking it up and binge reading it even though I’ve been in the worst reading slump I’ve had since blogging. I laughed a lot, felt engaged and interested… but there were some things I didn’t care for.  Let’s talk likes though: Female PI that […]

Tessa Bailey has quickly become an auto-buy for me as I wade my way through her backlist. I adored Georgie’s story in Fix Her Up and was so thrilled to have a chance to read the newest addition to the Hot and Bothered series! Tools of Engagement gripped me right away. I am a sucker for enemies-to-lovers paired with forced-proximity. Adding in an age-gap, older heroine for good measure, and I’m absolutely pushing my TBR to the side to get my […]
