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…

Reviewing Spring Debuts: Real Love, For Her Consideration, and Love Buzz
I’m absolutely thrilled to be reunited with my laptop (post Italy, we were separated for over a week), so even though you’re not seeing this as my first post back from an unanticipated hiatus, this is my first post that I’m typing and I just had to share my joy!! This post is about some…

Catching up on Avon Historical Romances: Heartbreaker, The Duke Gets Even, A Counterfeit Scoundrel, and The Portrait of a Duchess
Have I mentioned how relieved I am that the Harper Collins strike has finally come to an end? While I wish Harper Collins hadn’t left its employees out to dry for so long, I am genuinely thrilled that the Union ultimately succeeded in obtaining most of what they wanted. What was tragic was not getting…

Buzzword Challenge: “Secret” – Reviews of The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, Hotel of Secrets, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Booksandlala is my favorite booktuber and while I’m generally not the best at participating in specific challenges, I’ve decided this year to make an effort to complete the Buzzword Challenge each month. Normally I don’t feel the need to make a blog post about the books I read for the challenge, but this month, the…

ARC Reviews: Midnight Duet, Take the Lead, and Alliance with His Stolen Heiress
I’m so excited to be bringing you reviews where all three books are 2023 releases! Look at me go! I would advise you not to expect this from me because, tbh, I’m so behind in ARC reading and I saw this meme on Ally Bryan’s Instagram that fits me perfectly: So anyway, that’s not what…

Harlequin Romance ARC Reviews: Wearing His Ring till Christmas, Their Icelandic Marriage Reunion, and Forbidden Kisses with Her Millionaire Boss
Y’all, I had the best luck with these ARC Reviews and it has me thinking that I should be really heavily leaning into Harlequin Romance reads instead of the hit and miss Harlequin Desire line for me. Or maybe I’ll just keep reading from several different lines, which sounds like the most reasonable plan. Anyway,…

Belatedly Reading Three Highly Anticipated Books (ARC Reviews): Relentless, Before I Let Go, and Georgie, All Along
Are these a completely random mixture of books with varying release dates and all of them are already out for you? Yes. But they are all contemporary romances and I also really enjoyed all of them and… I think I might have cried during each of them too. Oh and another thing they all have…

ARC Reviews: Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute, Chick Magnet, and Don’t You Forget About Me
I am not doing the best of jobs staying on top of telling y’all about the books I’m receiving for review and I really need to do better about that. But in the meantime, here are three books that are out that you can already read! So excited to talk to you about Highly Suspicious…

I Read Some ARCs, So Here are Some Reviews ft. A Valentine for Christmas, Tread of Angels, Counterfeit Courtship, and Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun
I swear to y’all, I really am reading books. It’s just, I’m doing it a little randomly and also not in any sort of sensible order. So here I am, bringing you reviews for books that released in… November through the end of the month, as one does. Anyway, I want to clarify that I…
