    Publication Date: June 3, 2025 I love a friends-to-lovers arc- this is no secret. And The Friendship Fling absolutely smashed it.

    Publication Date: October 10, 2024 Kathleen Haley once again wrote another amazing dark romance! This is book 5 in the Sense Series and amazingly, it’s as compelling and enthralling as the last.

    Publication Date: May 27, 2025 I’ve been obsessed with everything Sarah Echavarre Smith has written for years now, and this book is no different.

    Publication Date: September 26, 2024 I so enjoyed reading Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel!

    Publication Date: May 20, 2025 Oh my GOD this book was so good!!! The tension between Tris and Rafe was delicious and the one bed trope was FLAWLESS!

  • ARC Review: Left of Forever by Tarah Dewitt

    Publication Date: May 20, 2025 I’m writing this review with tears in my eyes because this book emotionally destroyed me and then put me back together.
