Review: Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke
Historical romance meets Pretty Woman in Bookshop Cinderella. The fact that it centers around a strong-minded bookstore owner did my bookish heart good.

Review: A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting
A Love Catastrophe is billed as an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine romantic comedy, which ordinarily is right up my alley. However, the execution falls flat.
Review: Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
Dear Abby Jimenez, You simply do not disappoint. Your books have a perfect track record with me so far, and Yours Truly is another heartfelt feather in your literary cap.
Review: If This is Love by Jewel E. Ann
Jewel E. Ann wrote If This is Love. That’s all I needed to know to make me want to read it. I didn’t even know the plot. I just dove right in. Let me tell you, this book is simply spectacular. It’s been a long while since a book kept me up all night, so even though I’m sporting bags under my eyes today, it was totally worth it.
Release Blitz & Review: Before Us by Jewel E. Ann
Before Us proves once again that Jewel E. Ann is Queen of the Feels. Evidently, one romance wasn’t enough for her. Instead, there are two completely different but equally breathtaking love stories that entranced me with their tenderness.
Review: Drama King by Penny Reid
Drama King gets the award for Most Entertaining Meet Cute and Most Cuddly Main Character. It’s an all-around fun story, especially for lovers of slow burn romance.
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: 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: 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.
Review: Pieces of a Life by Jewel E. Ann
This hurts. I don’t think I’ve ever rated a Jewel E. Ann book less than four stars. After all, she is probably my favorite author. I love how she mixes humor with gut-wrenching emotions. Pieces of a Life isn’t bad, but it is missing Jewel E. Ann’s signature sparkle.
Review: Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Carrie freaking Soto. That’s it. That’s the review. I’ve long been drawn to Taylor Jenkins Reid’s strong female protagonists, but Carrie Soto is simply remarkable. Living inside her mind was an exhilarating experience.
