Amy Daws delivers another wildly entertaining rom-com in Seven Year Itch, the second book in her “destination wedding meets small-town chaos” series. While it’s connected to Nine Month Contract (which I also enjoyed), you can easily read this one as a standalone—though familiar characters pop in for added fun. The SetupThis story pairs a grumpy,… Continue reading Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws
Annabel Monaghan does it again with It’s a Love Story—a witty, charming, and slightly chaotic rom-com that delivers heart, humor, and just the right amount of awkward nostalgia.

But one little fib about a pop star… Continue reading It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan

Annie Hartnett’s The Road to Tender Hearts is the kind of novel that sneaks up on you—in the best way possible. It’s quirky, warm, unexpectedly moving, and just the type of story I didn’t know I needed. At the center of this delightfully oddball road trip is PJ Halliday, a sixty-something lottery winner with a… Continue reading The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett
How Freaking Romantic promises a fiery feminist lead, an enemies-to-lovers arc, and plenty of emotional depth—but for me, it unfortunately missed the mark. The story follows Beatrice Nilsson, a fierce law student with a lot on her plate: student debt, systemic inequality, and the recent implosion of her best friends’ marriage. Bea is the type… Continue reading How Freaking Romantic by Emily Harding
Jenna Levine serves up another zany, heartwarming paranormal rom-com in this third installment of her series—this time featuring a vampire with amnesia and a yoga studio–owning witch with secrets of her own.

Grizelda “Zelda” Watson thought she’d left vampires behind… Continue reading Road Trip With A Vampire by Jenna Levine
