Review: It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover
It Starts With Us is Colleen Hoover’s love letter to fans of her wildly popular book, It Ends With Us. She heard the cries of readers who begged to know all the details of Lily and Atlas’s happily ever after, and she answered their calls for a follow-up in spectacular fashion. It Starts With Us picks up immediately after the end of the previous book, and the mood is so much lighter.
Review: Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee
Be Your Everything is the second book in the series about the tight-knit D’Angelo family. This book is about Chloe, the “little” sister to two overprotective brothers. It’s a brother’s best friend story, and even though I really liked the first book, I appreciated the lighter tone of this one.
Review: Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
That lump in my throat? I should be used to it by now. It’s an affliction that seems to occur whenever I read one of Colleen Hoover’s books. I went through a dozen lozenges while reading Heart Bones, and it was totally worth it.
Review: Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
Thank goodness. A romance for grown folks—and a poignant, steamy one at that! Before I Let Go is an emotional look at a marriage burned to the ground and two people determined to rise from the ashes to find happiness again.
Blog Tour & Review: Princess and the Player by Ilsa Madden-Mills
It’s safe to say Ilsa Madden-Mills has a hit on her hands with her Strangers in Love series. Princess and the Player is every bit as enjoyable as the first book—not an easy feat.
Review: Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
Gobble, gobble, gobble. That’s the sound of me eating up Nora Goes Off Script. I loved everything about this feel-good romance.
Review: Runaway Groomsman by Meghan Quinn
There’s something wonderful about small town romances. I’m always comforted by a supportive community where everyone knows each other and pitches in to help those in need, and I look forward to meeting the quirky residents. Runaway Groomsman has all that, plus heartfelt vibes and a slow build, wholesome love story.
Review: A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros
A Little Too Close is one of those rare books that has conflict without an antagonist. Even without a “bad guy” I stayed interested in the struggles of the main character throughout, and I found this to be an exceptionally enjoyable story.
Review: A Little Too Late by Sarina Bowen
Someone, please book me a trip to Madigan Mountain, STAT! I don’t even ski, but A Little Too Late has me envisioning a vacation on a snowy mountain ski resort, snowboarding down the bunny slope, a big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows cupped in my hands, and a soak in a glorious hot tub at the end of the day. I feel like I became part of Madigan Mountain, and I’m homesick now.
Review: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
On the heels of Ali Hazelwood’s breakout hit,The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain had a lot to live up to. I’m pleased to say that while I didn’t love it as much, Love on the Brain is still quite enjoyable. I like how Hazelwood portrays women in STEM as quirky and fun. It seems to be her storytelling signature, and it’s right up my alley.
Review: Memories of a Life by Jewel E. Ann
I enjoyed Memories of a Life far more than the first book, where my issues with the main character overshadowed my appreciation of the story.
