Penny Reid flexes her sports romance muscles with Homecoming King. Featuring her signature wit, simmering romance, and holiday setting—we’re talking Halloween through Christmas, people!—this book is a winning combination of naughty and nice.
Given all the 5-star reviews, I’m clearly in the minority here. At least the first third of Rock Paper Scissors is painfully slow, making this thriller less thrilling than I’d hoped. I found the anniversary letters to be rather dull and wanted to fast forward through the flashbacks.
It Happened One Summer is reminiscent of the tv show Schitt’s Creek, only this book is more heartwarming in my humble opinion.
Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is the first book I’ve read by Alexis Hall, and I must say that I was completely charmed. The audiobook really enhanced my enjoyment, but more on that in a moment.
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books written by Abby Jimenez, The Friend Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist, I fully expected Life’s Too Short to knock my socks off as well. Guess what? It did. This book checked off all my boxes. You’ve got a fun-loving heroine, a glum hero in need of rescuing, single parenting, and swooning galore.
I was pleasantly surprised by this absorbing new adult romance.
From the very beginning, I knew that Every Last Secret would be one twisted, complex thriller. The plot is addictive, and it kept me enthralled from beginning to end.
The Heart Principle is an exceptional story that is far deeper than I anticipated. It’s about the importance of loving yourself and using your voice.

When an audiobook is narrated by the author, one hopes it will be pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s due to Julia Whelan’s background as an actress or the fact that she wrote the words she speaks, but her narration of My Oxford Year is exceptional. She is so expressive that it is easy to get wrapped up in the story.
I’m fairly new to Kate Canterbary’s work, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. I am surprised that Underneath it All fell so far short of my expectations.
Single parent romances and surprise pregnancy tropes are my jam, and A Kiss for a Kiss combines both of these. The result was a little ambrosia for my bibliophilic taste buds.
