Darling Daffodils Farm is a grumpy–sunshine, rivals-to-lovers romance set on a charming daffodil farm that delivers equal parts heart, sass, and spice. While this one started a little slow for me—and I’ll admit I was initially pretty frustrated with a few of the characters—the story really came together once their backstories started to unfold. As… Continue reading Darling Daffodils Farm by Brittanee Nicole
If you’re in the mood for a feel-good, small-town romance with all the cozy fall vibes, If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia is a perfect pick. Set from September through December of 1997, this story delivers that nostalgic pre-digital charm—think handwritten notes, cassette tapes, and conversations that happen face-to-face instead of through a… Continue reading If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia
Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan is a hysterical, absurd, and delightfully cozy horror novel that delivers exactly what its cover promises—a funny, quirky take on the undead—while also sneaking in some surprisingly heartfelt and heavy moments. Set in 1999 Southeast Texas, the story follows the Evans women, a multigenerational family who run the town’s… Continue reading Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
Honeymoon Phase, the third installment in Amy Daws’ Mountain Men Matchmaker series, is hands-down my favorite of the series so far. This book delivers everything you want from a friends-to-lovers romance—slow-burn tension, heartfelt moments, and a chemistry that sneaks up and hits you right in the feels. The story follows Luke and Addison “Roe” Monroe,… Continue reading Honeymoon Phase by Amy Daws
If you’re craving a cozy fall read that feels like a blend of Gilmore Girls and a Hallmark movie, The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore is the perfect pick-me-up. When Jeanie inherits her aunt’s beloved café in the charming small town of Dream Harbor, she seizes the chance to trade her dull desk job… Continue reading The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore
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
Story of My Life is classic Lucy Score—a slow-burn romance with quirky small-town charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and just enough emotional depth to tug at your heart. If you're a fan of Gilmore Girls or Schitt’s Creek, you'll feel right at home in Story Lake, PA. Hazel Hart is a romance novelist in crisis. After a… Continue reading Story Of My Life by Lucy Score
This is the perfect read to bring along to the beach or pool—light, funny, and easy to breeze through. The premise is great, and while the story slows down a bit in the middle, the last 30% really pulled me in. Overall, it leaned more toward a slow burn for me, with no open-door scenes.… Continue reading Too Hot to Handle by Portia Macintosh
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
“We fool ourselves that we can protect the people we love, because if we accepted the truth we’d never let them out of our sight.” Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there’s something about this place that prevents it. The… Continue reading The Winners by Fredrik Backman
