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 […]

Fake It Till You Bake It

A super sweet read, even without the cupcakes! A fake dating, everyone catches feels romance that was light, and the third act disaster was amazing! No break ups because of communication bullshit! It was what they needed, and I really liked how it all came together. I also loved how Jada and Donovan learned from […]

Party Animal

**I was provided a copy to read for my honest opinion.** I am a member of Ali K. Mulford’s ARC team for this series. And it does not disappoint! A sweet fake dating story with everyone catching feels! It’s different than any other fake dating trope I’ve read in one minor detail – they both […]

The Do-Over

This is a cute book. Set around a teenage girl and her idea of perfect love, so there’s obviously no spicy, but it is so sweet. There is also a playlist available from Spotify and I also pulled it into YouTube Music for people like me who don’t have Spotify. There is much T. Swift on it! […]

Offside Hearts

This was hella spicy, 5/5 for that, but the plot was only kind of meh. It’s a light read, and I still really liked it.  Not really sure what else to say about this book, honestly. Because the spicy scenes and some of the romantic scenes were the best part of the book. The character […]

The Paradise Problem

Ooooh, this one was an enchanting read! In the acknowledgement the authors say that they hope the book felt like it was written happily during a continuous stretch of warm summer days. And friends, it delivers. Quirky artsy FMC with a brooding MMC and their marriage of convenience. I loved every moment of this book. […]

Well and Truly Pucked

Since I freaking loved the first three in this series and the novella, it is a surprise to absolutely NO ONE I loved the most recent addition as well. This was a light, hot read. I would recommend this for the beach, but you might want to read this where you have access to your partner, or […]

Take Me Home

This was a very sweet, slow burn frenemies to lovers. It is one of those books that I can feel the emotion in my palms, if that makes any sense. Because I have sunk so far into smut reading, this is a different sort of romance than I currently read, but the kind of romance […]

The Five Stages of Courting Dalisay Ramos

This was a delight to read. There were parts that I actually laughed out loud at. The clowns – THE CLOWNS! I was dying! The dialogue was snappy and snarky in places, and I love me some snark. I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]

Love Songs

Love Songs is another Michigan author written book, by D.K. Marie. I found this book at the Author’s Alley event that is sponsored by 2 Dandelions Bookshop (which is expanding!) in Brighton, MI. I attended with my husband and daughter, towards the end of the event. There were several children’s authors there, and as we […]
