Review: Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey
Window Shopping by Tessa BaileyHoliday Contemporary RomanceOctober 19, 2021 Self Published Review by Angela First, let me say that I'm not usually a holiday romance reader. I have read them, they just aren't something I read a lot of. But when Tessa Bailey, the queen of the dirty talking hero, says she has a Ted Lasso-inspired, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract holiday romance... I just can't help myself. I really can't. I don't have the willpower y'all. And I'm really glad I gave in Continue Reading

Love, Comment, Subscribe by Cathy YardleyContemporary RomanceOctober 1, 2021, by MontlakeARC Reviewer: Melinda Lily Wang and Tobin Hui went to High School together 10 years ago, but they weren’t exactly friends...or enemies either one. Frenemy is definitely the better term to describe what they were to each other. We open the book with a brief scene in high school and Lily ditching her Nerd Herd friends to try to sit with the popular group in the cafeteria but icily getting brushed off Continue Reading

Review: The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
The Charm Offensive by Allison Cochrun Contemporary Romance September 7, 2021 by Atria Reviewed by Melinda This book completely snuck up on me, I hadn’t really heard much about it, but I’m so glad that I picked it up randomly because it’s going on my favorites of 2021 list for sure! The premise of the book is simple enough - man goes on a reality dating show to make his image better for business purposes, will he find love? But what follows is the star of the show falling for his producer Continue Reading
Review: The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling Contemporary Paranormal Romance September 28, 2021 by Avon Reviewed by Kate When I was mentally writing this review, I planned on opening with some comment about how I've read so many of Rachel Hawkins' books, and I loved them all. When I fact-checked this (thank goodness for Goodreads, despite its many flaws), I found that was not, in fact, the case. I've read maybe half of her YA, and I apparently did not really enjoy Hex Hall, her debut novel (Kate in the early Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini-Reviews: Books by TL Swan, Ruby Dixon, Zoey Draven and Sophie Lark
My current reading tastes can be summed up with billionaires, mafia, and aliens. First up- I think this was my favorite audiobook of recent months. I LOVED The Casanova by TL Swan. I’ve enjoyed the entire series, but this one had it all and the performance was terrific. I heard the term “suit porn” said in an English accent and I am trying to find ways to use it daily. What’s this fun enemies to lovers trope about? Elliott Miles, third brother in the hot Miles brother pack who owns Miles Continue Reading
Review: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood Contemporary Romance September 14, 2021 by Berkley Books Reviewed by Kate The Love Hypothesis is mostly a charming book. There is so much to love about it. Olive and Adam are adorable together, and the fake-dating plot was perfect. Olive’s friends are amazing and I enjoyed the banter all around. The writing is great, and I breezed through it in one sitting. But while I would very much like to overlook my problems with it for the cuteness, it feels Continue Reading
