This is one of my very favorite historical romances. I reread this book so often I think I've memorized whole chapters. This is the scene that leads to Callie and Ralston having smex for the first time. I also love the scene immediately after when Callie is furiously cleaning the library and Ralston comes to ask for her hand in marriage and she says no... which is like ten pages so you'll just have to go read it for yourself. 😊 This book is also getting a new cover for its paperback Continue Reading

Sadie on a Plate by Amanda ElliotContemporary Romance/Romantic FictionMarch 15, 2022, by BerkleyARC Review by Melanie The first line of the blurb of Sadie on a Plate reads as follows: A chef’s journey to success leads to discovering the perfect recipe for love in this delicious romantic comedy. It’s a cutesy opener to introduce the theme of the book, a pun on the fact that it’s about a chef. Here’s the problem though. While the book did make me laugh in parts, thereby earning the Continue Reading

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
