Welcome!

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an aspiring romance author and am currently working to earn my MFA in Popular Fiction and Publishing (which I generally refer to as creative writing) from Emerson College. I’ve always been a BIG reader- so much so that when I was a kid, my punishment for misbehaving was having my books taken away.

Since I love reading and writing so much, that is what this blog is going to be about. I have a bookstagram where I post about the books I read and love as well as my writing, and I plan to also share those thoughts here. It’s @nintiharwrites (super creative name here, I know!)

Anyways, this is my first post but I’ll be sharing lots of book reviews, recommendations, writing content, and more here. I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to get to know you!

❤ Natalie

ARC Review: Trouble by Jess Bryson

Publication Date: January 16, 2026 Having read all of Jess Bryson’s Bayside Lake series, I was so excited for her to venture into writing cowboy romance! And boy is Trouble such a delight. When your MMC is nicknamed Trouble, there’s no way the story can be anything besides full of banter, sass, and spice. Tristan…
