Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert Spoiler Free Review
Alright, y’all, another romance novel with a cartoon cover, which means some of us have questions. I’m going to try and address those first: 1) Yes, this is absolutely a romance. It has a central love story, that truly is the main focus of the book, and an HEA. 2) Steam Factor: Explicit on page sex, no

The Write Escape and Royal Holiday ARC Reviews
I was fortunate enough to receive advanced copies of The Write Escape by Charish Reid and Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory and instead of writing two separate reviews, I thought I would thank Dani for not only sending me her advanced copy of Royal Holiday, but also the idea to just do an ARC round

Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure Spoiler Free Review
As you may know, Courtney Milan is one my absolute favorite authors and I think she’s also an amazing person. I am so lucky to be on her ARC team, but also she’s an auto-buy author for me so this one has already hit my Kindle by the time this review posts. Anyway, I’m telling

After the Wedding: A Spoiler Free Review
I was going to write this review on Sunday, but the words just wouldn’t come because I was too busy wondering where the third book in the series is going to go. So of course, this led me to Courtney Milan’s website, which led to me re-reading the excerpt for Find Me she has posted,

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton Spoiler Free Review
The cover of The Belles is almost as beautiful as the prose contained in the pages within. Dhonielle Clayton is not only an incredible advocate, she’s also a brilliant writer. I don’t love overly descriptive writing as a rule. Nathaniel Hawthorne waxing poetic about the roses outside of Hester’s prison for PAGES? Hard pass. Dhonielle

Love, Hate, and Other Filters Review
Before I begin, allow me to direct you to some reviews by Muslim reviewers because I think it’s important for you to see how Own Voices reviewers experienced this Own Voices novel. Fadwa’s post is here and she gave the book five stars and replicated the cover in the most brilliantly perfect way, which you

Wrong to Need You: A Spoiler Free Review
Alisha Rai delivered again. Wrong to Need You was a fantastic follow up to one of my favorite books of 2017. I will forever and always appreciate Rai’s stories with main characters dealing with mental health issues and finding love because we deserve that. I am also here for female friendship and sisterhood. So shout

Defenseless: A Spoiler Free Review
Defenseless by Elizabeth Dyer surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. I was fortunate enough to get this ARC from Netgalley and I procrastinated reading it because… Well, I don’t know, actually, because I loved it. I don’t understand why I can read romantic suspense, but thrillers keep throwing me off. Anyway, I’m getting
