Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

July 18, 2025July 9, 2025 melanie

“Maybe he was the love of my life. No, I am certain that he was. But happy endings are not the rule. Sometimes you give it your all, and things still don’t turn out well. Sometimes A for effort looks just like an F in a funhouse mirror. It’s okay. I’ve survived a lot of… Continue reading Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

July 8, 2025July 7, 2025 michele

Carley Fortune has done it again—but this time, she’s truly outdone herself. One Golden Summer is a luminous, emotional escape to Barry’s Bay, blending sun-drenched nostalgia with the kind of romance that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page. This is, without a doubt, my favorite of hers so far. At the heart of… Continue reading One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

Falling For Korea by Piper Jean

June 20, 2025June 18, 2025 michele

Even though I don’t usually reach for YA or dive into the K-drama world, Falling for Korea completely pulled me in from the first chapter. Piper Jean—who happens to be a local author from my town!—delivers a heartfelt, emotional story that feels both fun and deeply personal. The book follows California teen Sydney, who’s unexpectedly… Continue reading Falling For Korea by Piper Jean

Summer in the City by Alex Aster

May 10, 2025May 7, 2025 michele

If you're looking for a cute summer romance, look no further. Summer in the City delivers all the charm and swoon of a great rom-com, with the added bonus of a New York City backdrop that practically breathes on the page. This one was a delightful mix of forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers tropes—two of my… Continue reading Summer in the City by Alex Aster

Someone Knows by Vi Keeland

April 11, 2025April 8, 2025 michele

Someone Knows by Vi Keeland is a dark psychological thriller that had me flipping pages late into the night. It’s fast-paced, binge-worthy, and sure to be a perfect summer read. Elizabeth is a creative writing professor, which means her job is to wrangle metaphors, inspire future novelists, and gently suggest that maybe not everyone needs… Continue reading Someone Knows by Vi Keeland

Which is why he’s never met the woman who cleans his penthouse every week. Abi needs a place to stay, and Declan… Continue reading Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter

Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws

March 14, 2025March 10, 2025 michele

This was a fun, spicy rom-com that was different than any I have read before. This one was about a single guy wanting a surrogate to become a dad. It took serious issues and made it fun and silly. This isn't going to be a serious read. This is full of silly things that might… Continue reading Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws
