Two good neighbors make the best of a bad Valentine’s Day in a funny and improbably romantic short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer.
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much. But when disaster traps them one flight up and no way down, an outrageously precarious predicament forces a tree-loving guy and a rattled girl next door to embrace their captivity. Soon their defenses are breaking away. Considering how close they both are to the edge, Charlotte and Seth could be in danger of falling—in love.
I will drop everything to read whatever Abby Jimenez writes: a book, a manifesto, a diary entry, a grocery list. So even though I almost always find novellas disappointing, of course your girl was going to read The Fall Risk. Still, I was surprised by how enjoyable it was.

I decided to take a chance on listening to the audiobook of First-Time Caller, even though I’m new to B.K. Borison’s work and unfamiliar with either narrator. The risk paid off, because what I discovered was a low-drama, swoony romance, with immensely appealing characters and soothing narration.
It kills me to say this, but I may have to take a break from my favorite author. From Air is the first book in Jewel E. Ann’s new series about first responders. It’s also the third book in a row of hers that I’ve struggled to finish, which is mindblowing to me considering what a diehard fan I am. Maybe my reading tastes are just changing.
I have been bamboozled too many times to count, so color me tickled that The Love of My Afterlife more than lives up to the hype. This book is just so darling I wish I’d read it sooner.
Somehow I never tire of Sarina Bowen’s hockey romances. The Last Guy On Earth is the third book in her Hockey Guys series of standalones, and it has a little bit of everything for fans of the genre.
A Court of Thorns and Roses has been recommended to me by everybody and their grandmother for years. Truth be told, I’m not much of a fantasy lover so I put it off, but I finally caved when my daughter asked to do a buddy read with me. My reaction is decidedly meh.
I’ve been in one heck of a book slump, and Fangirl Down yanked me right out of it. Not even two chapters into the audiobook, and I was smiling like a dork. It’s a very spicy rom com about a burned out grumpy golf pro who falls hard for his diehard fan. There’s just something about a bad boy falling first—and falling hard—that’s so enjoyable. I was surprised by how much respect Wells shows the heroine. Josephine is such a gem—independent, fun, kind, and talented.
Welp, you can’t win ‘em all. Sunday Morning is unfortunately one of my least favorite books by one of my all-time favorite authors. I’m honestly shocked by how much I disliked this.
There’s sun on my face, a smile in my heart, and a rush of fresh air kissing my skin. It’s all thanks to Here For The Cake, a feel-good fake dating romance that’s a pleasure to read.
“No life is ‘such a tragedy’ that joy is not possible.” That note from the author perfectly sums up Bananapants. Humor and love are woven into the serious subject of mental illness, resulting in a heartwarming romantic comedy that left me smiling from ear to ear.
Dishonestly Yours is the first book in a brand-new series about two con artist families, written by Krista and Becca Ritchie. Best friends Phoebe and Hailey try to leave their life of deceit behind and start over by living honestly in Connecticut. That’s difficult to do when their grifter siblings decide to follow them.
I expected The Rom-Commers to be exactly that: a standard romantic comedy. I was pleasantly surprised by how heartwarming it is.
