"I think it's arrogant to think the stars and moon can affect the tides but not have an affect on me. Some things are just more powerful than we are. " Second-chance romances are usually hit or miss for me, but this one was an easy win. Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love young,… Continue reading Left Of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

The Shippers by Katherine Center
I always love a Katherine Center book, so I dropped everything to read The Shippers the moment I got my hands on it—and I’m happy to report that it absolutely delivered. Right from the author’s note, Center tells us exactly what kind of story this is going to be: a happily-ever-after romance. “This book will… Continue reading The Shippers by Katherine Center
Once and Again by Rebecca Serle
Once and Again is one of those books that quietly sneaks up on you. When I first started reading, I was convinced it would land firmly in three-star territory—interesting enough, but nothing that would linger. And then, somewhere along the way, I found myself unexpectedly invested. At the heart of the novel is the Novak… Continue reading Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

The Christmas Tree Farm by Melody Carlson
I’m not going to lie—the cover of The Christmas Tree Farm, complete with the red jeep, is what initially drew me in. Thankfully, what’s inside delivers exactly what you’d expect from a charming holiday read: a short, sweet, Hallmark-style romance centered around saving a beloved Christmas tree farm. When Madison returns home to Oregon after… Continue reading The Christmas Tree Farm by Melody Carlson
The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand
I’ve long been a fan of Hilderbrand, but this one easily lands among my new favorites of her books.

Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
Even though it’s January, Good Spirits is absolutely worth talking about. This was one of those reads that surprised me in the best way—I really liked it, and it only strengthened my desire to dive deeper into B.K. Borison’s backlist. A paranormal romance wasn’t something I knew I needed in December, but Good Spirits completely… Continue reading Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
The Last Vampire by Romina Garber
This boarding-school vampire romance is best described as Pride & Prejudice meets Twilight with a dash of Dracula, wrapped in a distinctly YA package. Lorena Navarro enrolls at a mysterious boarding school tucked inside a once-condemned Victorian manor, hoping her love of Jane Austen might finally lead her to a real-life Mr. Darcy. What she… Continue reading The Last Vampire by Romina Garber
Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams
Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams absolutely delivered on everything I hoped for after loving No Exit—and then some. From the moment Tess and Allie descend underground, this story tightens its grip and never lets go. Adams captures the terror of caving so vividly that I physically felt claustrophobic while reading. I went into this… Continue reading Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams
Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews
C.G. Drews delivers another masterclass in gothic horror with Hazelthorn—a story that’s as hauntingly beautiful as it is deeply unsettling. From the first page, I was completely drawn into Evander’s lonely, claustrophobic existence within the sprawling Hazelthorn estate. Trapped in a locked room for years, his isolation is so vividly rendered that you can almost… Continue reading Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews
