“I hate him but my body doesn't”

What was that ending!!!! Ahhh onto the next in the series.

Cute angsty rom-com read!

Colin and Olivia start an anonymous text relationship accidentally, but he's her brothers best friend and roommate in real life.

Drama ensues / cue the angst !!

MZ never misses.

Like, I don't even know. I am writing this as soon as I finished and I have such mixed emotions. I loved it so much and i wish it was longer. But it was also perfect.

Genuinely cried happy tears at the tent/driveway camping. IFKYK.

Rhodes and Amos are the sweetest and the best quiet grumpy guys ever.
Rhodes loves loudly with his actions and he just gives Aurora time to find herself and grow. A real man. We love.

Read this if you like:
Single dad
Age gap (it's only like 10 years but it counts??)
Small town
Grumpy sunshine
Slow burn

Both MC's were toxic AF, but we live for the drama.

I hoped she would end up with Tom, but I'm happy with the ending.

I was rooting for BJ but I knew Parks never deserved him. I rooted for him but didn't want them to end up together.

Very dark - be sure to check TW prior to reading

This takes “touch her and die” to a whole new level

We get more of the brothers, but not as good as the first

Ok this ended on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers and I'm mad at myself for not having the next book ready.

I'm hooked y'all

Such a cute sweet enemies to lovers holiday romance.
I loved the banter

Cheesy, but I ate this up.

The dirty talk on this man is next level. Holy crap.

Quick mob novella

There aren't enough words to describe how much I love this book.

“Are you following me?”

UGH there was so much sweetness, angst, spice, and all of the good things.

A+ plus size representation.

Stevie and Zanders' back and forth banter was soooo good. Their chemistry is off the charts.

Best second chance romance ever!!!!

Eli's back story broke my heart but holy crap. What a man he has grown to be.

“Good girl”

This book was FANTASTIC. Seriously. Holiday romance, fake dating.

Kai is a smoke show and a new favourite book boyfriend. Tortured past, but has so much love to give.

His holly jolly, also has a tough past. But is so full of light and sunshine.

So so so happy with this book - the smut scenes were OOF so good.

Ana Huang does not miss. This was such a sophisticated and sexy love story.

Forced marriage. Enemies to lovers.

Dante's possessiveness and protection for Vivian was SO GOOD.

I'm proud of Vivian's growth, and standing up for herself.

I haven't read anything this quick in a while - truly addicting

A nice quick and sexy Christmas read.

Kind if an enemies to lovers (Cash is a big ol grump towards Bailey in the beginning)

Had hoped for more spicy scenes but alas.

Very happy ending, no major twists and turns or third act breakup due to a misunderstanding.

Kind of enemies to lovers, holiday romance

re-read august 2023
This is my comfort read. My favourite 5-star favourite. I never stop thinking about Noah and Shay - I love them to pieces.

***

Noah and Shay have my heart. Sweet little Gennie is a fire cracker and so funny.

The fact that Noah called them high school sweethearts made my heart soar. Noah is such a hot farmer dad and I'm so here for it. He is so shy on the outside but in the bedroom he is a force, and dominant and SO SEXY.

A nice light hearted high school romance.

Both are dealing with family conflicts, and help each other navigate through them while falling in love in the process.

This was okay! I liked the plus size representation, and the emotions that can come with that.

Enemies to lovers, Grad school romance. Intense competition between these 2!

An odd but cute holiday romance.
I wish the magic was better explained at the beginning because I felt confused the first few chapters.

Jack is so sweet and I was really upset after the walls closed on Christmas Eve, but I'm happy they got their happy ending.

Cute holiday read!!!

Friends to lovers, fake dating.

Insert Taylor swift's mastermind here (Luka is SO the mastermind of this love story) even if Stella suggested the fake dating, Luka played the long game.

It was ok! Happy with plus size representation but the characters had no depth. All that she is is a 36 year old red head, who writes fan fiction. All that he is is a 40 year old shy actor with dyslexia. I'll admit Marcus was the more interesting of the two but he was still lacking depth.

There was some fan fiction at the end of each chapter that I skipped.... I read the DM conversations between characters but couldn't care less about the random fan fiction.

Like, it had potential for a good concept but I felt it could be executed better.

Mixed feelings.
It was good, I loved graham and his pup jake, but his random violence streak was really strange? He's a sweet guy rough around the edges but he was in too many fights. Seemed out of character???

Cute winter read that went on just a little too long.

I'm glad zoey got a happy ending.

This was really good until like the 85% mark.

After their fight at his Christmas party, he proposes? Like I get they are in love forever blah blah but he proposed after so little time together and after a huge fight lol. Seemed out of place.

But up until that I was quite hooked. Short and sweet, grumpy sunshine, she convinced him to love Christmas.

re-read July 2023Ugh fitz is just IT for me. He's an introverted guy, only speaks when necessary, but is always there for people. Summer is loud and exciting - completely opposite. But she brings something out in him, and he didn't even realize a piece was missing until her. Roommates, and kind of enemies. He is friends with her brother... but love finds a way *******


Love this author, and I love Fitz so much. Glad we finally get his story !
