ARC Review: No Strings Attached by Christy McKellen

Publication Date: January 23, 2026

I love a Christy McKellen holiday romance, and No Strings Attached is a perfect example of this! The relationship dynamic between Chloe and Kit is both old and new: the epitome of a second chance story. Watching them explore Japan and reconnect was such a delight to experience.

Chloe and Kit have such a unique experience during their reconnection. I can only imagine what it’s like to run into your ex while going on the trip that was meant to be your honeymoon with someone else. It truly is like fate brought Chloe and Kit back together after all their time apart, and it was wonderful to watch them find themselves and their love again. 

As always, this Christy McKellen book was a complete treat. I felt like I was in Japan going on adventures with Chloe and Kit, and while their trip had to end eventually, the warm feelings from reading No Strings Attached never did. This book was an easy read and a total delight from start to finish!

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele

Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
