4.25 to 4.5 stars, I think? For the most part, I LOVED this book. It was a pleasure to be transported to England’s theatre scene in 1832. Both Ruth’s 4.25 to 4.5 stars, I think? For the most part, I LOVED this book. It was a pleasure to be transported to England’s theatre scene in 1832. Both Ruth’s and Artemis’s stories touched my heart in intimate ways: Ruth learning to believe in herself for the first time, and Artemis learning to believe in herself once again. Throughout this book, Ruth and Artemis help each other live as the best versions of themselves, and I think they make perfect, swoon-worthy couple.
Lotte R. James writes in a way that romanticizes all the little things and leaves no doubt that our two leads are utterly besotted with each other! Yeah, that really worked for me: I ate that stuff UP! ...more

Olivia Olivia Olivia…wow!! I loved this book so much. Olivia and Kate are a DREAM couple and have I mentioned that I’m head over heels in love with OlOlivia Olivia Olivia…wow!! I loved this book so much. Olivia and Kate are a DREAM couple and have I mentioned that I’m head over heels in love with Olivia?? Okay so the romance was obviously top-notch and the best part of the book, but I loved all the side characters so much too?? Charlotte and Millie are more lovable than ever, and Charlotte may be my new comfort character because I resonate with her so much. Also, this book is so freaking funny: I died of laughter at least twice. Anyway I think this might be my new favorite Clare Ashton book!!
Also…do I smell a BOOK THREE??

Katia Rose’s talent is unbelievable. She’s given us eight sapphic romances in just a few years and has NEVER, EVER MISSED! Not once! Her writing styleKatia Rose’s talent is unbelievable. She’s given us eight sapphic romances in just a few years and has NEVER, EVER MISSED! Not once! Her writing style is readable, concise, relatable, and so freaking funny! Katia’s characters have a variety of different interests and personalities, but I end up connecting with each and every one. Katia, if you’re reading this, I would love to take a writing class from you!
Trish Rivers runs the restaurant on her family’s campground. While she’s kind, funny, and a talented chef, she can’t help but feel inadequate compared to her sisters Emily and Clover. Kennedy March is best friends with Emily’s girlfriend Kim, and a vacation to Three Rivers Campground sounds like just what she needs. As she spends time at Three Rivers, Kennedy starts to realize that life as a hotshot real estate agent in Toronto is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Trish and Kennedy are both firecrackers with strong personalities. In Passing Through, they offer comedic supporting roles as the quieter Emily and Kim find love. In this book, I adored getting to know Trish and Kennedy on an intimate level: their wants, their insecurities, and the things they’ve never told anyone up until now. And wow, the things these women have been through…I ached for them. They both deserve the world! Plus, of course, they’re amazing together. Their chemistry is wonderful and I love how *sweet* they are with each other!!! I had a lump in my throat toward the end of the book because what I was reading was so freaking emotional and I just…gah!!!
There are parts of this book that made me want to bang my head against a wall and shout “WHAT ARE YOU DOING” at our MCs. But, like, I think that’s a great thing. Because Katia Rose put me in the MOMENT with them, and I felt like an intimate observer experiencing all the discomfort and tension right along with them. And then when they finally got their perfect moments together, it was beyond gratifying.
In short, I loved this book and can’t wait for Clover’s story! (And, uh, I can’t be the only one low-key wanting a Scooter romance too, right?)

This book was just what I needed. Easy to read, entertaining, and cute beyond words! I don’t necessarily think it was perfect, but I loved it too much to rate it anything less than 5 stars here. (Also, please give a warm welcome to Eden Sands as she joins my character crush list!)...more
I think I’ve realized why I love Rachel Lacey’s books so much: they make me feel safe. Lacey treats her characters’ emotions with the utmost amount ofI think I’ve realized why I love Rachel Lacey’s books so much: they make me feel safe. Lacey treats her characters’ emotions with the utmost amount of care, so much that I myself feel taken care of. Plus, the romances are just so freaking good: the sweetness and tenderness are just off the charts!
With She’ll Steal Your Heart, Lacey has absolutely outdone herself. Watching Mia and Lauren fall in love was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. Lauren stole my heart from the very first page. I felt so much for her: how she navigated setbacks in life and how she worked hard to build herself back up. And MIA! Oh my word, I definitely have a crush on Mia. She’s a slightly intimidating, no-nonsense woman who says the *loveliest* things (I’m swooning), and the way she became a safe space for Lauren just had me drenched in the feels.
I loved the role fandom played in the book, since I’m very familiar with how a shared love of media can bring people together as friends or as lovers. I also, of course, adored the cat cafe setting, because cute animals are my jam. ...more
