Much like the first this was full of fun and adventure! And I loved getting to know Miri and Rafa. They were VERY sweet trying to focus on work and not their feelings!! It’s one of the best things about a workplace romance!

I also loved seeing Miri being in charge and working so hard at her job! She’s so good at what she does but she never gets the opportunity to really show it because the world is an unfair place!

My biggest gripe with this and the other one really…is how hard the MMC working AGAINST the FMC for so long. This one did feel a little different?? I don’t really know why?? But I feel like Ford was more irritating than Rafa??

Thank you so much to Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

I love Rhett and Summer so much 😭

Just like the first book in this series, this was SO SWEET! I loved Emilie and Zack so much. There is nothing like fake dating that SO QUICKLY turns into more. But at the same time it was still a pretty slow burn?? They really spent a lot of time getting to know each other and taking their time and FLIRTING! They were so much FUN! And they were able to be vulnerable with each other, which is something Emilie desperately needed.

I LOVED how hard Zack fell. He really never stood a chance. And I also loved how easy it was for Emilie to feel at home with his family!! Her family was the actual worst… so seeing her feel comfortable and loved and so happy around nice people was SO NICE!

Much like the first there was really good mental health representation written, and with so much love and care. Seeing how Emilie deals with her OCD and how isolating it is was so honest and real. But also seeing how seamlessly Zack stepped up and asked her what she needed from him, was so sweet.

I don’t know what’s next but whatever it is and whenever it comes I’m excited to keep reading whatever Rachel writes!

Thank you so much to Rachel LaBerge for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This is was absolutely PERFECT! It’s everything I love about a romance book honestly. A second chance, right person wrong time, a guy who LOVES his girl, a girl coming home to figure out her life, two people who have LOVED each other, time apart to grow (even though it HURTS), fake dating!! Someone else to throw everyone off the fact that they were sneaking around!! I really loved this book so much, I was so pleasantly surprised!

Watching Zac and Melody really fall in love, watching everything all into place, was so beautiful!! Seeing Zac finally get what he’s been waiting for, but also knowing how much Melody’s been through and being SO thoughtful of her feeling and wants and needs was SO SWEET! She had really been through it with her ex, and since coming home she was having some really heavy realizations…and she was struggling to work through that. But the fact that Zac wasn’t going to let her go if he could help it all while giving her the time and space she needed??? It was perfection.

Also I could read a whole book on the little family that Zac, Melody, and Noah were!! Zac and Noah specifically were so sweet. And seeing them through Melody’s eyes made my heart SO happy! She wanted her own family and she found it!!

I cannot wait for Brooks’s book!! And I will be going back to read Ellie’s backlist and I’m already so excited for that!!

This book was magic and thank you SO MUCH to Atria for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

I think I’m being a hater but I did not like this book…but I kept reading?? Cause it was a quick read?? And I didn’t ALWAYS dislike Chase and Cammie! They did have cute moments! 

But overall it just read really cringey. And listen I am not above reading/enjoying a cringey book! But for whatever reason I couldn’t get over it. The way she kept putting up her hood to literally hide? And the glasses cleaning cloth!? Hello??? My precious??

This is very much a standalone, but it’s also very intertwined with Helena’s Toronto Terror series, and  I dnfed If You Hate Me. Which is fine! I just should have realized it more connected…because wherever this universe is…is not for me. I do think that if someone loves her other series, will love this!

Thanks to PenPal PR for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book is perfection and I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to read it a little early AGAIN! When i read an arc of the indie edition I knew it was special, and I knew Jillian was special. And seeing her books republished has been such a TREAT! I cannot wait for what’s next because I know Millie’s sisters are going to be just as PERFECT!

I love Millie and Finn so much. Their story has everything that makes a good romance - workplace romance, grumpy/sunshine, so much good communication, a slow burn but they both fell so hard SO easily! SO MANY LITTLE THINGS! The croissants and the KitchenAid! Their Friday nights! Their banter is so good. They have so much LOVE to give, and watching them give it to each other warms my heart.

And just like last time Eloise and Avery are the STARS! They are so so sweet despite losing their mama and watching them fall in love Millie was beautiful.

Thank you so much to Avon for this ARC I exchange for an honest review!! I can’t wait to hold this book in my hands!!

This is the first book of Ambar’s that I’ve read and it won’t be the last!! I will definitely be going back to read her Baker Oak’s series!! I don’t always wish novellas were longer, because they’re often the perfect little treats! But I could have read a whole full length book about Alex and Livie 🥹 they were so so sweet!! I love fake dating and when they started depending more time together to get to know each other to sell it!!! SO CUTE! I loved how quickly they FELL for each other!! And the fact that they both were so sure the other wasn’t going to feel the same?! I loved them!

This was a BEAUTIFUL book!! It was chaotic and funny and vulnerable and so tender and sweet!! It had all the best parts of a roadtrip romance in the most chaotic way. There was so much banter and tension and it was FUNNY! This is such an amazing debut and I cannot wait to see what’s next from Heather!!

I really like Ada and Jack! And don’t get me wrong they were a MESS at the beginning. Between their meet cute turned not so cute, and then they were thrown together, and everything kept going wrong! But along the way they got to know each other!! And got to learn some things about themselves!!! And they got to be cute! And vulnerable! And also have fun even though they kept having the worst luck!

JACK AND ADA! They were so sweet and soft with each other! And I REALLY loved how much they evolved for just a few days!!! And they of course had a long ways to go, and they did the work!! And the end was SO sweet!

Thank you so much Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

A short and sweet snowed in holiday novella!!

Meena and Owen are a cute little rivals to lovers story and it’s the perfect little treat!
