  • ARC Review: Dearly Departed by Chip Pons

    Publication Date: June 16, 2026 Oh my GOOOOOD I love love LOVE this book! Chip Pons put magic into Dearly Departed that lingers well beyond me turning the last page. Hayden and Levi have my whole heart, and their grumpy-sunshine dynamic is particularly delightful to see. The magical-realism was woven so well into this book.… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: The Great Outdoors by Kayla Olson

    Publication Date: June 16, 2026 Like Sadie, I have a plan for everything and could absolutely be called high maintenance at times. Unlike Sadie, I’m not sure I’m ballsy enough to hop on a hiking trip to prove an ex wrong. The Great Outdoors was such a great read that took me down the hiking… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Tropesick by Lauren Okie

    Publication Date: June 16, 2026 This book hit me square in the feels. Tropesick did an incredible job of pairing the beats of the love story between Katie and Tyler alongside the romance book that they have been tasked to write. The flashbacks for their second-chance story came at the perfect times, the revelations surprising… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Stolen Hearts by A.B. Jackson

    Publication Date: June 1, 2026 Alexander and Christopher’s relationship continues in full motion in Stolen Hearts! The thing about writing a review for book two of a trilogy is that I absolutely don’t want to spoil anything, but reading Stolen Moments and getting the backstory between these two was amazing. Stolen Hearts is such a… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: You Won’t Forget Me by Mazey Eddings

    Publication Date: June 8, 2026 MAZEY EDDINGS, WOW. This book is the slow burn trope at its absolute finest, and I am thoroughly wrecked. You Won’t Forget Me is peak pining and the dynamic between Cubby and Darcy is everything. The two bandmates falling in love story is always a good one, and this was… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Brighter than Before by Courtney Walsh

    Publication Date: June 9, 2026 Brighter than Before was such a tender story about falling in love and finding oneself again. Claire and Miles are both older characters, and that maturity was beyond refreshing. I loved seeing Claire’s grown-up daughter, Minnie, interact with Claire and with Miles on a quest to find Claire a romantic… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Room Serviced by Roxie Noir

    Publication Date: June 5, 2026 Sloane and Max’s ghost-hunting adventures were so fun to read in Room Serviced! These two CLEARLY had some built up tension going into their adventure. I was laughing out loud watching them both try to pretend they weren’t attracted to each other.  There was so much to enjoy in this… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Booked on You by Lyra Parish

    Publication Date: May 21, 2026 Scarlett and Ezra’s story is holiday romance at its finest. Booked on You is the escapism love story that is the epitome of right place and right time- not because there was a wrong time, but because of all the reasons this one is the right one. There’s so much… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: The Valencia Expat Club by June Patrick

    Publication Date: June 2, 2026 The Valencia Expat Club is the feel good escapism story we all need! Dahlia is the kind of character you immediately root for and want happiness for. During her time in Spain, her love story is both about her rediscovering her own identity and falling in love with Liam, a… Continue reading

  • ARC Review: Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan

    Publication Date: May 26, 2026 I love an Annabel Monaghan romance so dearly, and Dolly All the Time is a beautiful story of love, family, and self acceptance. It’s very much a story of people from different worlds, but Stewart and Dolly end up having far more in common than they initially realize. It was… Continue reading
