Better Than and Nothing Like the Movies – Lynn Painter

Way earlier this year, I recommended a YA romance, The Do-Over by Lynn Painter to my daughter. I thought she might enjoy it. She said ok (she has a ginormous TBR of her own) and nothing else was said. Fast forward to the new school year (middle school, omg), she comes home with a book […]

How to Help a Hungry Werewolf

Y’all. I didn’t even have this on my TBR. It was on the new books cart for my department at work and once I read the synopsis, I was IN. It took me a minute to get into this second chance romance, but about chapter three or so, I was so hooked. The banter was […]

Covers of books JBR read in September

September Recap!

We had two weekends of back to back family weddings so this is coming out a little later! One more stride towards getting back to a more regular posting schedule. So many spooky reads this month! Some favorites: Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist (ARC) by Ali K. Mulford and K. Elle Morrison I saw a comment […]

My Killer Vacation

THE SPICE in this book, folks. THE. SPICE. Is the timeline for love and moving in together a “normal” timeline? Absolutely not. Is it how I have gone about new relationships? Also absolutely not. But are the spicy time interruptus hot AF? Yes, SO. MUCH. YES. I enjoyed the murder mystery as well as the […]

The P*ssy Next Door

Y’all, I cannot get enough of Amy Award. That’s just facts. This is just a fricken DELIGHTFUL romp. I loved that they skipped a brother in the order, though I have suspicions on who Everett shall be wooing. I loved that Willa’s cat is an escape artist to the nth degree, and that Seven clearly […]

The Wiener Across the Way

This is an Amy Award stan blog now. There is no going back. Another absolute winner from Amy Award! I love this one for many of the same reasons I loved the first in this series, The C*ck Down the Block. Men raised to respect, honor, and support women, who were raised to ask for […]

The Mayor of Maxwell Street

I liked this book quite a bit. Avery Cunningham is so incredibly talented, and I am shocked this is her debut novel. It almost had a feel to it of a story that has been spun over a decades long career. It was a very intriguing story, and though I ended up having the title […]

The C*ck Down the Block

I absolutely loved this book. I DNFd the book I was reading right before it, so I was completely over the moon to be grabbed by the shirt and pulled right into this one from the get go! The sex and body positive writing in this book was phenomenal. A lot of times in romance, […]

The Amethyst Kingdom

So, I started this blog well after I started reading this series which means I have no other reviews to link to. You’ll just have to trust me that they get better as they go and this one is the perfect ending to the series. I laughed, I swooned, I freaking balled my eyes out. […]

Betting on You

This was really interesting to me to read. As a bonus mom to a bonus daughter, my heart really ached for both Charlie and for Bailey. Their bio parents did an absolute shit job communicating with them and helping them transition into these new living situations. We emphasize communication immensely with aforementioned daughter. We communicate […]
