The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is an epic Hollywood romance that examines what it takes to achieve success on the big screen. I was on the fence about reading historical fiction, but I needn’t have worried. This book is riveting.
L.J. Shen is a master at dishing out seemingly irredeemable characters that you love to hate and serving them up with massive side of angst. Pretty Reckless kicks off the All Saints High series, which is a spinoff of the wickedly addictive Sinners of Saint series. (Side note: Although these series revolve around high school students, they are definitely on the New Adult side.) Defy readers will remember the scandalous affair between Jaime Followhill and Melody Greene. Daria is their daughter.
In theory, Close should be a hit. It has so many tropes I love: a rock star romance, a Hollywood romance, an older woman-younger man romance. That enticing combination had me eager to read this book, so it’s especially disappointing that it falls flat.
Autoboyography is a compulsively readable Young Adult triumph. Maybe I’m just old and jaded, but I tend to shy away from most Young Adult fiction because teen drama frequently seems inconsequential or manufactured to me. This story, however, addresses contemporary concerns that feel genuine in every way.
I have become such a fan of Christina Lauren’s work that I eagerly add each new book to my to-be-read list without even reading the synopsis. Fortunately, with The Unhoneymooners they have proven once again that I am in safe hands.
Imagine my surprise when one of my favorite writing duos unexpectedly released a new Male/Male book. I was pretty freaking excited when this appeared on my Kindle, let me tell you. I’m pleased to say Top Secret does not disappoint. If you are new to the M/M genre and are perhaps hesitant to give it a try, this is the perfect introduction. It’s funny, lighthearted, and sexy without being too graphic.
Kate Stewart wows in this emotional Hollywood tale of love and loss.
I tried really hard to think of something positive to say about The Player but came up empty. It’s disappointing because I love a good sports romance, and this one is highly rated. Maybe it’s just me.
What an unexpected treat Jock Row was! I had some reservations based on the blurb, but Sara Ney knocked my socks off with this college rom-com.
I love the sense of camaraderie and shared passion found in sports romances. Sports rom-coms are my go-to for a quick escape, but when I want more substance, I know I can turn to Kennedy Ryan. With Hook Shot, she uses the backdrop of professional basketball once again to deliver another heartfelt romance.
From beginning to end, Long Way Down is pure perfection. It is the last book in the Calloway Sisters series, and as Daisy and Ryke’s romance continues, Krista and Becca Ritchie repeatedly hit you with all the feels. This story is packed with warmth and heartache; drama and suspense; humor and joy. It’s a close call, but Daisy and Ryke are still my favorite couple. Their journey completely captivated me.
I originally gave this book 3.5 stars, but I upgraded it to 4 stars after sleeping on it, and here’s why. Motion, the first book in the Laws of Physics series, sets an infectious tone of both humor and suspense. The second book, Space, is achingly emotional. Time: Laws of Physics 3, while very enjoyable, is not the gripping conclusion I was anticipating.
