Good Material was my book club pick last month, and interestingly, I ended up enjoying it more than a lot of the other members did. I think a big reason for that is that I really connected with the themes and character motivations—especially when it came to Jen. At its core, this is a breakup… Continue reading Good Material by Dolly Alderton

Play with Fire by Sophie L. Henderson
Play with Fire is the first book in Sophie L. Henderson’s firefighter romance series, and while I ended up liking book two more, this was still a fun start to the series—especially because I’ve apparently entered my firefighter romance era lately. This book follows Savannah, a firefighter-in-training trying to save her struggling fire hall, and… Continue reading Play with Fire by Sophie L. Henderson
Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
Carl’s chaotic adventure continues in Carl’s Doomsday Scenario, and somehow this series gets even more absurd in the best possible way. This second installment fully embraces the over-the-top madness of Dungeon Crawler World, and I can absolutely see why this series has such a huge following. The humor is nonstop, the action is wildly entertaining,… Continue reading Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman

Man of My Dreams is one of those books that I know is going to stick with me for a long time.

Happy Ending by Chloe Liese
If you’re looking for a slow burn romance full of tenderness, yearning, and all those feel-good emotions, this is absolutely the book for you.

Thea and Alex’s relationship builds so naturally over… Continue reading Happy Ending by Chloe Liese
Bad Boy Era by Amy Daws
Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to describe finishing the final book in the Mountain Men series, but I’m so glad Everly finally got her story. She’s been such a fun character throughout the series, and watching her fall for the ultimate grumpy bad boy felt completely worth the wait. I honestly found myself googling rugby while… Continue reading Bad Boy Era by Amy Daws
Grumpy Mother Pucker by Sarah Smith
Grumpy Mother Pucker by Sarah Smith surprised me in the best way possible! I expected this to lean a little more immature because of the college setting, but the writing felt much more mature and emotionally grounded than I anticipated, which made it such a fun and engaging read for even an experienced romance reader.… Continue reading Grumpy Mother Pucker by Sarah Smith
Across the Vanishing Sky by Catherine Cowles
I’ve been meaning to pick up a Catherine Cowles book for a while, and this one did not disappoint.

There’s something so compelling about a character returning… Continue reading Across the Vanishing Sky by Catherine Cowles
