The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory. Berkley Books. 2018. I adored this contemporary m/f romance! It was exactly the book I needed yesterday, in pretty much every way. Mostly light, with a bit of angst, & a slow tender fall of a romance arc. This has the fake girlfriend so I'm not alone at my exes … Continue reading Review of The Wedding Date
My plan for this Book and Snack Pairing post series is to taste snacks (two new and one old favorite) and pair them with romances (two recent first time reads and one old favorite). The romances reflect my reading habits, so they tend contemporary, and are a mix of pairings. I am marking the ones … Continue reading Book and Snack Pairing: Simple Cookies
The Coyote's Cowboy by Holley Trent. 2018. This m/f shifter romance novella packs an intense punch. Witnessing these two neuroatypical MCs who both feel alienated from other people connecting and being sweet to each other as they try to extricate themselves from folks who were trying to control them gave me so many feelings. This is … Continue reading Review of The Coyote’s Cowboy

Making Up by Lucy Parker. Carina Press. 2018. I really enjoyed this second chance enemies to lovers romance! The romance arc was lovely, and such a great thing to watch unfold. They had amazing chemistry; there was such sweetness and heat between them. I was rooting for them as a couple from the start. I … Continue reading Review of Making Up
Something Like Love by Christina C. Jones. Warm Hues Media. 2017. 5 stars I loved this book, and its going on my list of comfort rereads.

I … Continue reading Review of Something Like Love
