Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

Unrequited love, two idiots who don’t talk, and a hockey backdrop in the plus column. But the resolution seemed rushed to me.

TW: Homomisia & homomisic slurs; contains sexual situations, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV, and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

Review: The Heir Apparent’s Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells

Cate C. Wells could write a technical manual, and I would read it and love it. Two tropes that are not on my love list (teen romance and werewolves), but I enjoyed every bit of the grovel in this one!

Series: Five Packs

TW: Bullying, Death, Grief; Death of a Parent; Classism

Review: Faking with Benefits by Lily Gold

Don’t let the cover fool you; super spicy RH with actual believable characters and backstories. My TBR pile can’t take books like this. Added every one of her other books.

TW: Previous Bullying; Grief; Death of a Parent; Previous Death of a Partner; Gaslighting; Body Shaming; Panic Attacks; Sexual Assault; Online harassment; Slut-shaming and misogynistic language

A Long Time Coming by Meghan Quinn

It would have been a 5-star, but I thought the end was too rushed; I do love me the Cane Brothers! Apparently, I am a sucker for Billionaire Brothers series. Who knew? Apparently, Meghan Quinn.

Review: Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert


I have not read a YA romance or book in a bit, but this sweet, fraught high school, academic rivals, friend to enemies to “lovers” proves that Hibbert is a master.

Review: Talk Dirty, Cowboy by Elle Thorpe

Honestly, much sweeter than I expected from the title; single parent, western, smalltown tropes to love.
