2024 ARC Reviews: Red String Theory, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherworlds, and Ready or Not
I put these books in this post in publication order, even though the first book I read was actually Ready or Not by Cara Bastone because I was so excited when I got the ARC that I read it immediately. I love Bastone’s writing and even though this wasn’t my favorite romance from her, I

ARC Reviews: The Hookup Plan, The Art of Scandal, and For Never & Always
So… I am very behind in reading my ARCs, but I’m trying the best I can to start catching up and these three are the first three I’m releasing to y’all! First up, we have The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon, which actually came out in 2022. Please don’t judge. Then we have The Art

ARC Reviews of Inheritance, Witches Get Stuff Done, and Playing the Witch Card
This group of three ARC reviews brings you a major win that I can’t stop thinking about (Inheritance), the start of a series I’m more intrigued by than my rating suggests I should be (Witches Get Stuff Done), and a DNF because the book made me anxious (Playing the Witch Card). So all in all,

Contemporary (Mostly) Romance (Mostly) ARC Reviews: Full Moon Over Freedom, The Long Game, and Her Own Happiness
I read some more of my ARCs! Is my Netgalley score still on the struggle bus because I can’t seem to stop requesting books? Yes. Yes, it is. But never mind that, let’s talk about three books that you can already purchase because I am, as usual, behind. First up, let’s talk about Full Moon

Historical ARC Reviews: The Poisoner’s Ring, The Notorious Lord Knightly, and A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel
I’m really delighted to be able to give you some ARC reviews, even if they are largely months late. Oops. The Poisoner’s Ring by Kelley Armstrong is the second book in a historical mystery series that I am really addicted to at the moment. The Notorious Lord Knightly is book two in The Chessmen series

ARC Reviews: Play to Win, Family Lore, and Shucked
I am so behind on ARC reviews and I am fairly confident I will never catch up. However, here are three books that I think a lot of people will love that I’m delighted to tell you about my perspective on. I did receive e-ARCs of Play to Win by Jodie Slaughter and Family Lore

Speculative Romance ARCs: Sweep of the Heart, Not Your Ex’s Hexes, and The Witch is Back
Reviewing these books has taken such a long time and I have no good excuse beyond I just haven’t been able to find the words to talk about one of them. But here we are, finally completing this dramatically overdue post. The three books we’re talking about today are Sweep of the Heart by Ilona

I Fell Down a Single Dad Romance Rabbit Hole and Here’s What I Thought
Last month, I got the sudden overwhelming urge to reread Heartless by Elsie Silver, which sent me on a path of wanting to read so many single dad trope books and I read four before the fourth led me on a detour of some romantic suspense books that we may examine at a later date.

Contemporary ARC Reviews: Playing for Keeps, Best Man with Benefits, and The Best Laid Plans
Alright y’all, I have been dragging my feet at reading ARCs, let alone reviewing them, but I’m here today because I have miraculously read three contemporary romances I had as ARCs this week! I’m in a very mood reading sort of zone, tbh, and I’ve been reading a lot in July (just like zero obligatory

Assorted ARC Reviews: Funny Guy, Tell Me Everything, Once More with Feeling, and The Atlas Paradox
This is just a set of reviews of ARCs that I’ve finished (or DNF’d) and need to tell you about so that Netgalley doesn’t think I’m quite as bad at this as I actually am. The list these books are listed in the title is more or less a ranked list, if I’m being honest,
