Review: Ready or Not by Cara Bastone

February 15, 2024 by Melanie

Ready or Not by Cara BastoneContemporary Romance (Romantic Fiction)February 13, 2024 by Dial Press Review by Melanie I read this book in the span of two days which is shockingly fast for me these days when I read with my eyes. I simply could not put it down. If you are reading this review, you will undoubtedly be rather shocked when you get to the end of this review and see that I’ve given this book a letter grade of C-. Yes, that minus is important because this book is verging on a Continue Reading

Review: A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft

January 24, 2024 by Kate

A Fragile Enchantment by Allison SaftYoung Adult FantasyPublished January 2, 2024 by Wednesday Books Reviewed by Kate A Fragile Enchantment was one of my very highly anticipated books. I love anything Regency England inspired with magic, and this book delivered on that premise.  A Fragile Enchantment has a lot of storylines. Niamh is from a poor country neighboring Avaland, and all she wants is to provide for her family. She gets invited to make the prince’s wedding attire in Continue Reading

Review: Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina Kumar

January 17, 2024 by Melanie

Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina KumarContemporary Romance January 16, 2024 by Dell Review by Melanie I always find it increasingly difficult to review books that aren’t 5 stars or 1 star but just sort of fall into that middle category that I like to label as forgettably meh or as my friend Melinda would term, “aggressively fine.” The real problem with this book actually lies with me because it’s time I finally admit that I just don’t care about the fake relationship trope in contemporary Continue Reading

Review: Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban

January 12, 2024 by Kate

Don't Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. AlbanLGBTQ Historical RomancePublished on January 9, 2024 -AvonReviewed by Kate Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend is a delightful sapphic romance novel. It is also a rare romance novel these days that was advertised as something and then delivered on it! Though it touched on some heavy topics at times, it also had lighthearted parts, and it was a quick and fun read.  One of the things that I love about historical romance novels with queer Continue Reading
