Change of Plans by Dylan NewtonContemporary RomanceAugust 1, 2023- ForeverARC Review by Angela This isn't a named series, but the last three releases by this author are connected. How Sweet It Is features the oldest Matthews brother, horror writer Drake, and event planner, Kate Sweet. I enjoyed their story quite a bit. The main characters of the second book, All Fired Up, are Zander Matthews and his love, book publicist, Imani Lewis. I didn't love this one, but I think it was mainly Continue Reading
Review: Forget Me Not by Julie Soto
Forget Me Not by Julie SotoContemporary RomanceJuly 11, 2023- ForeverARC Review by Angela This is another case of don't judge a book by its cover. I wasn't going to pick this book up because this is a really terrible cover, but after hearing good things on Twitter and finding out this debut author already has a television series deal in the works for it, I decided to see what the fuss was all about. And I'm really glad I did. This is a grumpy/sunshine, second-chance romance with Continue Reading

Review: A Thousand Miles to Graceland by Kristen Mei Chase
A Thousand Miles to Graceland by Kristen Mei ChaseWomen's Fiction1/24/2023 by ForeverARC Review by Angela This is labeled on Amazon as a romantic comedy, and it is 100% NOT a romantic comedy. In fact, I would say this isn't a romance at all. A Thousand Miles to Graceland is mainly a road trip book between a daughter who escaped her chaotic, toxic home after college and her Chinese-American flamboyant, Elvis-loving mother that ends up being a journey of self-discovery and mother/daughter Continue Reading
Review: Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
Before I Let Go by Kennedy RyanSkyland #1Contemporary RomanceNov 15, 2022 by ForeverARC Review by Melinda Kennedy Ryan has covered heavy topics in her books before, like domestic violence, racism, and rape. The reason I love her writing is because she writes everything, including those heavy topics, with such depth. Her characters are always nuanced and fully fleshed out, and whatever topic she’s writing on it’s clear she’s done her research. At this point, I trust her to take care with Continue Reading
Review: Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score
Maggie Moves On by Lucy ScoreContemporary RomanceJune 21, 2022, by Forever Review by Iby Lucy Score is known for her small-town romances, featuring smoldering sex scenes and charming banter. It’s her formula - but it definitely works for her, so I’m not complaining. Maggie Moves On is about Maggie, a YouTube influencer who flips houses, and just landed in Kinship, Idaho to work on her biggest project yet- a dilapidated mansion, the Old Campbell Place. She arrives with a lean crew of Continue Reading

The two hooked up at Kate and Drake's wedding and then haven't really Continue Reading
Review: In a New York Minute by Kate Spencer
In a New York Minute by Kate SpencerContemporary RomanceMarch 15, 2022, by Forever Reviewed by Iby When I received this ARC to review, I was excited because I love a good rom-com. How do I know if I’ve read one? I genuinely root for the characters to fall for each other, there are ridiculous and charming moments throughout the story, and at the end of the book, my mouth kind of hurts from how much I’ve been smiling. This new novel by Kate Spencer passes my unscientific rom-com Continue Reading
Review: Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
Love & Other Disasters by Anita KellyContemporary RomanceJanuary 18, 2022, by Forever Review by Melinda I've raved about Anita Kelly's first two books and have been really anticipating her debut with Forever. And I loved everything about this book from beginning to end. Dahlia and London are competitors on a cooking show and one of the things I loved so much is that there is no antagonism between them at all. Just encouragement and laughter and love of the craft. I felt like the Continue Reading
Review: The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley The Wild Wynchesters #2 Historical Romance October 26, 2021 by Forever Reviewed by Kate The Perks of Loving a Wallflower is a lovely historical romance with two female main characters. This is the second in The Wild Wynchesters series, but I do not think the first (The Duke Heist) is necessary to enjoy this one. I would recommend The Duke Heist, however, and reading it first may give the reader some additional context which could make this Continue Reading
