I'm fairly new to Sarah Adams but I loved this cute (smutty) romance. This is the enemies to lovers trope and I really get into that one. The plot of this one is right up my alley and it is a sports romance as well. The plot: Nora Mackenzie’s entire career lies in the hands… Continue reading The Rule Book by Sarah Adams

Gallant by V.E. Schwab
This was a very ghoulish atmospheric, gothic type book. If your looking for that vibe, this book will have you covered. I think this is a bit on the YA side as I feel like the plot and character development aren't as mature as her other books. But I still enjoyed this one for the… Continue reading Gallant by V.E. Schwab
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods, Evie Gaughan
This nod to bookshops by Woods and Gaughan was whimsical and charming. I'm always a fan of a book with magical realism, especially one with a bookstore! ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street… Continue reading The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods, Evie Gaughan
Murder Road by Simone St. James
Murder Road is a typical St. James book. It's a mystery/thriller with a ghost story feel. Some people have to read her books with the lights on and this one is no exception. In the summer of July 1995, April and Eddie set out on what was supposed to be the romantic getaway, heading towards… Continue reading Murder Road by Simone St. James
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
I didn't know what to expect when going into this one and I think that is the best way. This is a non-fiction about the World's Fair in Chicago and the infamous serial killer, HH Holmes. This was packed full in information I never knew about and I thought was very interesting. The World Fair… Continue reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
This is a cozy fantasy novel. I went into this one knowing nothing and was unsure what to think and ended up liking this cute story about found family.

Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist. If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller that you can't put down, you need to read this one right… Continue reading First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
If you've read Serle's In Five Years and One Italian Summer, you will know what to expect with this book. This was full of heart and emotion! The premise of this one hooked me right away. Daphne Bell receives slips of paper every time she meets a new man with his name and a time… Continue reading Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
Royal Valentine by Sariah Wilson
This was book#6 in the Improbable Meet-Cute series. This was a novella that was 71 pages so it went quickly. This was a meet cute with a twist I didn't see coming. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. This is one where you could HATE the guy! Princess Ilaria is sick… Continue reading Royal Valentine by Sariah Wilson
