The Partner Plot is a fun, fast read with loads of charm. It’s easily one of the best second-chance-at-love stories I’ve ever read. High school sweethearts Xavier Wright and Violet Greene live big. They are the coolest, sexiest kids at their school, and their breakups and makeups are legendary. Their relationship is combustible – the…
I’ll admit that this month’s TBR Challenge prompt of “Furry Friends” had me at a bit of a loss. I don’t have a lot of cutesy animal stories in my prompts. One of my friends pointed out that this didn’t necessarily have to be about pets, but I can’t say that any spectacularly furry heroes…
This very fun story is a slow burn romance featuring the beloved tropes of grumpy meets sunshine, fake engagements, and a small town guy/big city girl. It’s set in gorgeous Nova Scotia–the scenery is beautiful! It took me a little bit to get hooked into the book but once I did, I couldn’t put it…
The mystery/suspense market tends to skew white, so I was excited to see this debut by an author of color. The Night of the Storm is a tale of family, betrayal, and the importance of listening to weather alerts. A recent transplant from Chicago to Houston, single mom Jia Shah is in no way ready…
While not listed as such by the publisher or author, Technically Yours is the second story taking place in the author’s FitMi Corporation universe.

I had to laugh when I read the author’s note at the beginning of The Christmas I Know; Nicky James, known for usually having a fairly high angst-quotient in her books says: “Yes, I, Nicky James, wrote this book. It is full of tooth-decaying fluff and oozes sweetness everywhere, so much so that it might…
The charming cover drew me to pick up Seven Minutes in Candyland, and I am so glad I did. This feel-good story brings back all the best memories of high school while simultaneously reminding us that it wasn’t a perfect place. It’s a celebration of youth, love, the power of friendship, and the joy that…
I love watching cooking shows so I was excited to read this story about a romance between two chefs at a trendy restaurant. Alexander Chen (aka Shang) is the head chef at La Rougue and Eden Monroe is his new sous chef. They are a wonderful grumpy/sunshine pair and I enjoyed seeing them fall in…
Some books you have to rate purely on how fondly its target audience will look upon them. So it is for me with Our Cursed Love, a book whose melodrama annoyed me – but which will definitely appeal to the teenagers it’s aimed at. Cam Yasuda and Remy Kobata have been best friends since they…
