Review: Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

November 16, 2022 by Melinda Leave a Comment

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

In a New York Minute

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
