2025 ARC Reviews: The Heartbreak Hotel, The Brave and the Reckless, and Totally and Completely Fine
I’m so behind in giving y’all these reviews, it’s honestly absurd. I read The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O’Clover prior to its release, which was quite the accomplishment, considering how behind I am with my ARCs this year. And yet, I’m writing this review a full two months later. Oops. I also ordered a copy

October Wrap Up
You know, this year has felt like the equivalent of about five years. Like, what do you mean Onyx Storm came out in January?? But also, I am genuinely shocked that it’s already November. Time is a construct, truly. Not real. Anyway, setting aside my complete bewilderment over how time works, let’s talk about the

Sports Romance ARC Reviews: Sweet Thing, The Game Plan, and Only on Gameday
I’m not sure why, but I’ve really been in a sports romance mood recently and have been picking them up more often than I usually do. I’m also still not out of the single parent romance situation, which may be why Sweet Thing by Kate Meader worked so fantastically well for me. I am so

Tier Ranking 2025 Releases I Read from May-August
Is this post late? Yes. Am I kind of glad because it now gets to feature a tier titled from The Life of a Showgirl? Yes, a bit. Also, if you notice that there are random words missing an ‘I’, the reason is that my I key is sticking and I’m trying my best to

Reviewing Three “Adventure” Romance ARCs: The Blonde Who Came in from the Cold, The Ripple Effect, and Destination Weddings & Other Disasters
This trend of books with adventure incorporated has really been working for me and so I’m delighted to bring you three reviews of books I really enjoyed. And all three are out because despite the fact that I read two of the three prior to their release, I for some reason just never wrote the

June Wrap Up
June takes the prize of the most books I’ve read in a month so far this year, by one more book than what I read in March. What do these two months have in common? A competitive readathon I had a lot of fun participating in. In March, it was the Swiftie Readathon, but in

May Wrap Up
May was quite a month. It’s the month that my besties second baby joined us earth side, which was so exciting! And I really enjoyed getting baby cuddles when I went to visit. I also loved spending time with the bestie and her older kid because we’re also besties. So that was a really great

2025 ARC Reviews: Bold Moves, Not Safe for Work, and Love in Focus
I really love being able to bring y’all reviews in groups of three where I really enjoyed all three books and that is what we have here today! Bold Moves by Emma Barry came out in April, sorry about the delay, and if you haven’t read it yet, you simply must pick it up. Not

Finishing Trilogies: ARC Reviews of The Charmer, Can’t Get Enough, and Along Came Amor
Thematically writing ARC review posts is always a wee bit of a struggle because of my mood reading tendencies and the way that I will immediately rebel the second I set myself a strict TBR, but I somehow managed to read these three in quick succession so here we are with an actual themed ARC
