  • Spiral (Bal Khabra)

    Fake-dating, rich hockey player who wants out of the spotlight, but poor ballet dancer who needs the spotlight to land her dream role?! This was a FANTASTIC read, I could not put the book down, despite my tired eyes. Khabra does a phenomenal job of introducing our characters, Sage and Elias, without overdoing it. I…

  • I’m really wondering now if I need to switch up my tropes, dare I say I like friends-to-lovers more than enemies-to-lovers?! Maybe? I don’t know! Pham’s debut was BEAUTIFUL. Her story follows two childhood best friends who begin dating in high school for a short time before breaking up after an accident, not speaking one…

  • I was so excited to read this book and see how the lives of our favorite couples changed after college at Briar University. But Kennedy did them so dirty, the characters were written so differently from how we knew them in their standalone stories and I felt so disconnected, like I didn’t know them at…

  • I posted about The Deal (Off-Campus Book #1) this morning, I know, and I read The Mistake (Book 2) today, so what? No, in all seriousness, I wish I could give more stars, this one was EVEN greater than the first book. I really appreciated the meet-cute, I was kicking my feet how Logan ended…

  • The Deal (Elle Kennedy)

    Another hockey romance, thank you HR for inspiring me to read more from the hockey romance genre! I LOVED this book. I feel like I say that about every book I review, but this is in the top 5, I think. Hannah Wells, an all around A student at Briar University, studying music with hopes…

  • The Long Game (Rachel Reid)

    Okay, so I may have derailed from my original plan of reading the Game Changers book series in order. I loved Heated Rivalry and Ilya and Shane’s story so much I had to continue onto the sixth book of the Game Changers series. The Long Game is just indescribable. I have so many thoughts and…

  • I LOVED this book. My book club was reading this book, around the same time I started watching the show, and I was hooked by the show, so I knew I needed to read the book. Though it can be read as a standalone, I decided to read Game Changers (Book #1) first to get…

  • “It’s all about the yearning.” First, this book’s design, exclusive to Barnes & Noble readers, is BEAUTIFUL, with its rom-com movie-themed painted edges and the book cover’s stunning overall aesthetic! I paid extra to have the upgraded design, and it was fantastic! **See images at the end of this blog post!** Next, you need to…

  • The title covers it, folks. This romance comedy book is BETTER THAN THE MOVIES. With the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers trope, forced/shared proximity (as next-door neighbors), and fake dating, this book embodies every good thing seen in rom-com films all across the board. I could envision parts of 10 Things I Hate About You, How to Lose a…

This one in particular is focused on the romance between bridesmaid, Annie, and groomsman, Mac. These two individuals have a history, and by golly, the…
