Love Story by Lauren Layne

Love Story by Lauren Layne

It’s rare to get a standalone book by Lauren Layne, so if you’ve been reading praise of her books but haven’t been in the mood for a multi-book commitment, Love Story, a second chance/enemies-to-lovers tale might be just the place to dive into her oeuvre. Lucy Hawkins has her life all mapped out, thank you…

Undeclared by Julianna Keyes

I picked the first book in the Burnham College series, Undecided, as one of my favorite books in 2016, and guess what?  Ms. Keyes has followed it up with another winner!  Undeclared is funny, sexy, awkward, addictive, and frustrating… just like its principal character Kellan McVey.  This time Ms. Keyes takes a character you sort…

Downed by Jen Frederick

The…

Mine for now by Erika Kelly

It always amazes me how differently I can feel about books by the same author.  Over the past week, I read the final (delightful) entry in a long running series by a favorite co-author duo, and eagerly picked up Erika Kelly’s, Mine for Now, hopeful it would be similarly great.  I loved You Really Got…
