A romance set in a fairy tale inspired resort? Count this Disney fan in. I’ve read all of Timothy Janovsky’s books, and I continue to be impressed with how he manages to make each of his stories unique while maintaining a distinctive style. There is a neurodivergent character at the center of each of Janovsky’s … More ARC Review: Once Upon a You and Me by Timothy Janovsky
Rachel Lynn Solomon is one of those authors whose work blows me away every single time. I have always admired the Jewish and mental health representation in every single one of her books. She also has a unique way of bringing readers into her main characters’ heads that not makes them so rich and real. … More ARC Review: When in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon

I loved Katharine McGee’s American Royals series, and I was excited to read A Queen’s Game. Both are full of escapist glitz, glamour, romance, and political drama. While the American Royals series envisions a fictional world in which America was founded as a monarchy, A Queen’s Game explores some real life European monarchies, which made … More ARC Review: A Queen’s Game Katharine McGee
The first Timothy Janovsky novel I read was, You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince, and I loved it. Janovsky brings whimsy and humor to all of his books, and a dose of holiday magic just makes the romance all the more special. The Merriest Misters is a second chance holiday romance that had me smiling … More Review: The Merriest Misters by Timothy Janovsky

Every piece of her writing sparkles off the page with her signature blend of wit, emotion, and humor. The Rival is no exception. I love that Lord has moved into … More ARC Review: The Rival by Emma Lord
As a little Jewish girl who went to a Jewish day school, I remember reading a folktale about the golem. I was certainly fascinated by the idea of a creature essentially summoned to protect Jews from anti-semitism. Never did I imagine that I would read a romance novel that heavily featured that folklore. I really … More ARC Review: Magical Meet Cute by Jean Meltzer
It has been so miserably hot here in the NYC area that a romance set around the Christmas season was EXACTLY what I needed. Hers for the Weekend is just as charming as Helena Greer’s two earlier books in the Carrigan’s series. Carrigan’s is a magical Christmas wonderland (run by Jews, of course) in upstate … More ARC Review: Hers for the Weekend by Helena Greer
I’ve been a big fan of Casey McQuiston’s work since I first read Red, White, and Royal Blue. I love how different each of the stories of their books are, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each one. The Pairing has McQuiston’s signature wit and charm, but with a European backdrop. Throughout The Pairing, Theo and Kit … More ARC Review: The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
The main characters of The Au Pair Affair, Burgess and Tallulah, are introduced in Fangirl Down, the previous book in this new sports romance series by Tessa Bailey. I was intrigued by them from their cameo in the previous book, and their story did not let me down. I love interconnected romance novels. Josephine and … More ARC Review: The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey
