ARC Review: Bound to You by Bridie Charles

Publication Date: August 23, 2024

I so enjoyed reading Bound to You! Isla and Caio are a beautiful pairing. It was lovely watching Isla come into her own as Caio supported her. It’s so clear that they are a pair that compliments one another and that they make each other better every day. Plus, he’s a hot Italian man!!! What more could you ask for?

The setting of idyllic Ruby Cove is the absolute perfect place to fall in love. It drew me in from its very first description and was the most vivid and dreamy location. Bridie Charles makes Italy pop off the pages just as it appears in real life, and that is a true testament to the beautiful and romantic nature of Italy as a setting.  

This is only book one of the Ruby Cove series, and I am so invested in these characters and their stories moving forward. Bridie Charles creates compelling characters in the perfect setting and I will absolutely be tuning in for the rest of this series. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.

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…
