Accidentally Amy was a really cute friends to lovers/workplace romance. Izzy and Blake have a fun meet-cute and I enjoyed their romance. The conflict at the end was a little meh, but overall I liked this one.

I love CeCe Winans music and I was excited to read her book. This was a great audiobook and I loved that CeCe narrated it herself. It was interesting getting some of her backstory and hearing about how she had grown up with her parents and many siblings. I also loved how she talked about sharing her faith and how we’re all supposed to do our part in passing it down to the next generations.

I was excited to read a sports romance by Tijan, and when I saw it was brother’s best friend I was so ready for it! I did like it, but I had 3.5 stars
I was excited to read a sports romance by Tijan, and when I saw it was brother’s best friend I was so ready for it! I did like it, but I had mixed feelings. This book felt kind of all over the place, but I think it was supposed to? Being in Cheyenne’s mind was chaotic at first, but I sort of got used to it. I liked the heroine and the hero, but the story itself had a bit too much of everything in it. I think that works well for Tijan’s YA/NA books but I’m not sure if I love it in her adult romances.

Another Lia Louis book that was a win for me! When I’m in the mood for more of a women’s fiction type of book, she is a go to author for me. Though there is a nice romance in this book, it’s not until the very very end. I consider this more a story about a woman coming back out of a haze of grief and learning to live again, finding herself, and yes- falling in love. This was really sweet and I enjoyed the love interest so much!

This one was a lot of fun. If you’re looking for a workplace romance/enemies to lovers Christmas novella look no further. I liked both Garrett and Savannah and I think this would have made an amazing full length book. Whitney G set so much up which was great, but there wasn’t as much follow through as I wanted. Overall I really liked this one I just wish it was longer!

Nick and Dalia have a rough start…. yikes. Even with that, Nick grew on me a lot by the end. I also really liked Dalia. I love a good rockstar romance, and though this isn’t my favorite Julia Wolf book it was good and I’m looking forward to reading more from ‘Blue is the Color’.

I'll be honest, I picked this one up because I loved the cover. The body positivity and representation were fantastic, but... the romance fell a little flat for me. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't quite feel the chemistry between the two main characters or because the pacing was a little weird. Either way, I would read more from this author in the future because even though this particular book wasn't a huge win for me, I think it had a lot of potential.

I'll be honest, the first book in this series wasn't my fave but I adored Evan in that book so I was excited to give this one a go. And let me tell you- it delivered! I enjoyed this so much more than the first book!
Evan and Genevieve are a meant to be pair. They've been causing trouble together since they were kids and though they've been on again off again throughout their lives, everyone knows they are endgame. Gen has been gone- she left without telling anyone- but now she's back. And sort of a reformed bad girl. I loved both Gen and Evan so much. There were times at the start I was a little frustrated with them, but they really got it together by the end.
I loved watching them both find that balance between reckless and responsible. And watching Evan be a 'big brother' was a highlight as well! Overall this was so well done, the main characters were lovable and had loads of chemistry. The audio was great and I'm so glad I listened!

Maybe this is what happy is supposed to be. A person, a place. A single moment in time.
In the Weeds is the second book in B.K. Borison’s ‘Lovelight’ series. I’ve been excited to read this book since I loved the first one so much, and it didn’t disappoint. Beckett and Evelyn’s story was sweet and I loved watching Evelyn find her happy and Beckett come into his own. They were great together and I’m excited to read more from this world. I’m thrilled that Layla’s book is next!

I had such high hopes for this book after loving Jenny Han’s ‘To All the Boys’ series. I really wanted to watch the show so I thought I better read the book first. Though I did like some of this book, I didn’t love it as I expected I would.
It felt like there was a lot going on without much happening for much of the book, and then the end wasn’t satisfying for me. I also didn’t love the constant flashbacks. I may continue on with the series, we’ll see. I will say, though- the narration was fantastic. The narrator gets a 5 star rating and if you’re planning on reading this I would highly recommend listening to it.

This book was so darn cute and had the sweetest hero! I've been waiting for Layla and Caleb's book since I read the first book and I could just tell that Caleb had it bad for Layla. This entire series has been a win for me and I'm excited to see what BK Borison will put out next!

Surprisingly enough, this is my first BB Easton book. I’m the kind of reader that has to be in the mood for mafia/dark romance and I was so I’m glad I picked this one up. Not only did I enjoy Darby and Kellen’s story, but I can’t recommend the audiobook enough. Accents are always tricky but the male narrator made this such a great listening experience.

I’m all about sports romance and I really love hockey books so I thought I would give this one a go. I read a book by SJ Tilly earlier this year and I loved it and though this wasn’t as good for me, it was still enjoyable.
Jackson is a pro hockey player and meets Katelyn at his home when he’s hosting a party. He’s is immediately infatuated with her and they start dating. They were really cute together and it was a sweet romance. There was a bit of a predictable misunderstanding at the end, but overall I liked it a lot!

A Little Too Wild is another Madigan brother book, but this one is about the youngest brother who happens to be a professional athlete, Crew.
Crew hasn’t been home in over a decade. A loss kept him away but one of his brother’s getting married brings him back. He’s not feeling sitting with his family, so he decides to sit with an old friend and his sister, Raven. Raven who he had a crush on when he was younger.
Crew and Raven get together even knowing that his time there is temporary, but Crew just can’t seem to stay away from her. There is a lot of sneaking around because they don’t want anyone to know, but it wasn’t for any nefarious reasons. I loved this couple together. They had a lot of chemistry and the ending was the sweetest. I always love Devney Perry’s writing and this was no exception.
