Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore was just as cute, cozy, and spicy as the first book! Brittanee Nicole has such a fun way of blending swoony romance with small-town charm, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
The fall vibes were absolutely immaculate. Cozy bookstores, cider, bonfires, blankets, the Maple Festival…this book had me ready to skip straight to autumn (even though I’m not quite ready to rush summer!).
I’m always a sucker for a fake dating romance, and Penny and Monty’s relationship was so much fun to watch unfold. Their longtime friendship gave the romance a strong foundation, and seeing those fake moments turn into something real had me smiling the whole time. The group text messages were another highlight—they added so much humor and personality to the story.
If you’re looking for a cozy, friends-to-lovers romance with fake dating, plenty of spice, and all the fall feels, definitely add Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore to your autumn reading list.
Thank you to NetGalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the eARC.
