  • Tempt the Flame by Ria Wilde
    This book was a good read. Personally, I like how this author uses a different style in writing. It’s what pulled me in and kept me wanting more from her work. Bash and Willow’s story always intrigued me from the first book in the series, and watching their story unfold… Read more: Tempt the Flame by Ria Wilde
  • King of Greed by Ana Huang
    I would absolutely recommend this book to those who love second chance romance! The groveling was amazing. Though I believe he could’ve done more for the amount of damage that happened. However, both characters grew and stepped into their new roles in life with absolutely certainty regardless of how uncertain… Read more: King of Greed by Ana Huang
  • Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent
    There’s something about Rina Kent’s books that scratches an itch I never knew existed. This dark sports romance was everything I didn’t know I needed. Beautiful Venom is a college enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist. We’ve been exposed to Kane in the author’s previous release, Kiss the Villain. And let… Read more: Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent
  • Rewind it Back by Liz Tomforde
    My emotions are all over the place. I’ve never thought a second-chance romance trope would have me second-guessing my love life.  This book was filled with so much love and emotions that Rio and Hallie’s story would make me believe in love if I didn’t believe in love.  For a… Read more: Rewind it Back by Liz Tomforde
  • Don’t Let Me Down
    Wow. I’ve seen previews of this on Booktok and thought it would be another overrated/ over-hyped series that others were paid to promote. However, I was thoroughly surprised while I was reading this book. Granted, I didn’t realize I was reading the last book in the series. But that did… Read more: Don’t Let Me Down
  • King of Envy by Ana Huang
    Another year, another sin added to the list. This book, chefs kiss. An emotional wreck is one way to describe Ayana Kidane. Successful by day but lost at night, her marriage of convenience was the topping on the cake. Not only did it make for a good plot line, but… Read more: King of Envy by Ana Huang
  • The Monster Trilogy by Rina Kent
    This series was pure perfection and has to be one of my favorite trilogies I’ve ever read. I’ve looked into what it takes to write a trilogy, and the results are exactly as I thought. It’s challenging to execute well and add in the romance genre, and you’re trying to… Read more: The Monster Trilogy by Rina Kent
  • The Annihilator by Runyx
    Trauma happens to all of us. But putting that trauma into words that can be felt on a deeper level, is magnificent. With this dark verse series, the author created an interconnected universe. Every book was better than the next. But the Annihilator? This book was too good; I refused… Read more: The Annihilator by Runyx
  • The Finisher by Runyx
    The author’s writing is spectacular! The attention to detail and feelings through this book compelled me to read this book from start to finish in one sitting. Vulnerability is a weakness to some, but not all. Before stumbling upon this one, I had never read or enjoyed a book about… Read more: The Finisher by Runyx
  • King of Sloth by Ana Huang
    Sloth: laziness. Something we’re all familiar with from time to time. Others are more acquainted with the notion of sloth rather than its opposite. But what’s sloth without a little drama? Ana Huang and her King of Sin series have me in a choke hold! Each book released is better… Read more: King of Sloth by Ana Huang
  • The Lion & The Mouse by Jerry Pinkney
    Another week, another Wordless Picture Book review! We all know and love the tale of The Lion and The Mouse as children. This book by Pinkney is astounding, with the illustrations tying into the message and theme of the story. No wonder this book is also a Caldecott Medal winner… Read more: The Lion & The Mouse by Jerry Pinkney
  • The Red Book by Barbara Lehman
    This is an absolutely amazing book. Not only is it a Caldecott winner, but it also tells a story through illustration only. I highly recommend this book for elementary school-age children or younger who want to experience a message of friendship while going on a magical adventure that may never… Read more: The Red Book by Barbara Lehman
  • Bratva Butcher by TJ Maguire
    I jumped the series (I know), but I was completely thrown for a loop when I read this book. It’s easy to favor and want Lukyan’s story when he’s the funniest character within the series, so I was not expecting the Butcher to get a story before him. But I… Read more: Bratva Butcher by TJ Maguire
  • Pitter Pattern by Joyce Hesselberth
    This is for all my viewers that have children, grandchildren, or are simply elementary school teachers. Pitter Pattern is an excellent picture book to introduce to your kids!

  • Corrupted Chaos by Shain Rose
    Do I know how to code? No. Do I want to code my life away for a chance to live out this romance? Absolutely. So, I also might have skipped over the first book by accident. I saw a snippet of Corrupted Chaos and was sold on Izzy and Cade… Read more: Corrupted Chaos by Shain Rose
  • Bratva Bride by TJ Maguire
    The fixation I have to these characters is at the next level. Have you ever seen one of those book reviews from Booktok and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” Well, that’s precisely how I found this book. Let me tell you, Booktok can be a hit or miss,… Read more: Bratva Bride by TJ Maguire
  • Dear Ana by I I E
    This book is one of a kind. I won’t lie; I think about this book often because of the plot and the emotions expressed through the author’s beautiful writing. From start to finish, I refused to put the book down. Did it take me the entire day to finish? Yes,… Read more: Dear Ana by I I E
  • Play With Me by Becka Mack
    From start to finish, this book held me in a chokehold! Jennie and Garrett are the most down-to-earth characters I’ve ever read about. The green flags were flying high and bright. All my doubts about hockey romance have flown out the window. I’m proud to be in my hockey romance… Read more: Play With Me by Becka Mack
  • Consider Me by Becka Mack
    Hockey is a sport I steered far away from. I’ve never understood it, nor was I ever interested in the sport. Well… Until taking a chance on a hockey romance book. Let me tell you, this was a fantastic opportunity to get a glimpse of hockey as a sport. The… Read more: Consider Me by Becka Mack
