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,…

Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: Off the Map, Just My Type, and The House on Mulberry Street
I am really excited to bring you these three reviews and while I’m sorry they’re late, I’m also really delighted to tell you that if you’re interested in any of these books, you can already pick them up! First up, we have Off the Map by Trish Doller, which was so emotional, but I really…

Celebrating Queer Love: Stars Collide, Girls Like Girls, and The Problem with Perfect
I am so grateful to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read these three books. Stars Collide by Rachel Lacey was such a perfect book to listen to on my drive back from Nashville after seeing Taylor Swift live for the first time in entirely too long. (Okay, since Reputation but that’s been AGES.)…

Books Set in the Southern Hemisphere: Pas de Don’t, Single Dads Club, and Jana Goes Wild
I do so love bringing y’all a group of three absolute banger ARC reviews. It gives me such joy, like I’m so good at picking what books I read. And I’m delighted to inform you, that’s precisely the kind of reviews you’re getting today: my thoughts on three books I really, really enjoyed! First up…

Historical Romance ARC Reviews: A Wicked Game, To Swoon and To Spar, and Verity & the Forbidden Suitor
Historical romance and I have an up and down relationship at the best of times, but this was a pretty successful set of historical romance ARCs, if I do say so myself. A Wicked Game by Kate Bateman came out in December and it was quite a bit of fun. I was lucky enough to…

Celebrating Queer Love Stories: Never Ever Getting Back Together, Something Wild & Wonderful, and The Fiancée Farce
What a truly fantastic set of ARCs that I have finally at long last read!! I cannot wait to actually dive into these three books, but let me give you the quick and dirty facts on them real quick. Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales is technically a YA contemporary romance, but it…

Spring Debuts, Pt. 2: Bitter Medicine, The Build Up, and Sizzle Reel
A mixed bag when trying authors you’ve never read from before is probably to be expected, yeah? And that’s certainly the situation here. I had two DNFs, but I still wanted to take the time to talk about all three of these books because they are debuts and I don’t think either of my DNFs…

Reading 4 Swoonie Nominees: Partners in Crime, Ship Wrecked, The Hellion and the Hero, and When You Get the Chance
So, if you’re not already aware, I love The Swoon Awards. And despite my best efforts, I am never ever caught up on my ARCs. So I decided to take this opportunity to combine two things, Swoonie Nominees and ARCs I’m very delayed on and review them for you! Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai…
