As someone who normally loves MQ's work, I was excited to dive into this book, but unfortunately, it didn’t hit the mark for me. If you're considering skipping this one, I’d say it's probably okay to do so. The story didn't resonate in the way I’ve come to expect from Quinn, and it felt like… Continue reading Runaway Groomsman by Meghan Quinn

Lovelight Farms, the first book in B.K. Borison’s Lovelight series, was my introduction to the author, and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this cute, feel-good romantic comedy series.

Borison
This paranormal thriller was my introduction to Rachel Harrison's work, and now I can’t wait to dive into her backlist.

The story centers on two best friends, Sloane and Naomi, who couldn’t… Continue reading So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison
This was a cute romance, but the first half was a little slow, while the second half picked up.
