I am a sucker for a holiday romance, and Tessa Bailey is certainly the contemporary romance queen. Wreck the Halls is not my favorite of Bailey’s work, but it is compelling and fun with just the right amount of holiday cheer. The premise of Wreck the Halls is so fun. Melody and Beat are given … More Review: Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey

From the first time I was introduced to Romeo and Juliet nearly 20 years ago (YIKES!), I found it odd how quickly Romeo moves on from Rosaline when he meets Juliet. When I heard about Fair Rosaline, I was so excited to read a version of the story that dives into her perspective. You could … More Review: Fair Rosaline by Natasha Solomons

Tessa Bailey is an incredibly prolific author, and I love her work. I love that she explores different kinds of people and different settings in her different series. I was intrigued by the premise of the Vine Mess books, which center around wineries in California’s Napa Valley. It also didn’t hurt that the town where … More Review: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey

It is no secret that I love Emma Lord’s books. I was so excited when I got the email with the ARC to her next book, The Getaway List. I had to drop every other book on my list in order to start reading it immediately. It did not disappoint. The Getaway List is full … More ARC Review: The Getaway List by Emma Lord

I loved A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, and its companion/sequel, A British Girl’s Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak is everything I could have hoped for. There’s something so special about a book in a series series that explores the point of view of a different character than the previous book. I loved … More ARC Review: A British Girl’s Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak by Laura Taylor Namey

I’ve been reading the Hannah Swensen series for a long time. Pink Lemonade Cake Murder is the 29th book in the series, and I have read every single one…some of them more than once. This series made me fall in love with cozy mysteries, a murder mystery where the detective is not a professional. While … More Review: Pink Lemonade Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke

You all know that I love a good rom com, especially one with a Jewish author and with Jewish main characters. I read Meredith Schorr’s first book, As Seen on TV, and loved it. I felt so seen by her writing, and the same was true of her second book. I saw a lot of … More ARC Review: Someone Like You by Meredith Schorr

It is no secret that I am a massive fan of Jane Austen’s work. Her books are smart, funny, satirical…and of course, romantic. I have read my fair share of Austen retellings over the years – good, bad, and everywhere in between. I fell in love with Accomplished, Amanda Quain’s modern telling of Pride and … More ARC Review: Ghosted by Amanda Quain

I loved Kelsey Rodkey’s first two books, Last Chance Books and A Disaster in Three Acts, and I was very excited for Plus One. It did not disappoint. First of all, I love that the cover art of Plus One includes a depiction of Lahey that is not stick thin. The reader learns that Lahey … More ARC Review: Plus One by Kelsey Rodkey

Rome might be the place in the world that I would love to visit the most. The history, the food, the architechture – just all of it feels magical to me. Because of that, I love to read books set in Rome. Ciao for Now‘s title also drew me to the book. It is a … More Ciao for Now by Kate Bromley
