Hello, Emma Lord’s biggest fan here. I loved her first adult book, The Breakup Pact, and I was thrilled to get an early copy of her second adult romance. I love a good second chance romance. Sam and Mackenzie have a deep professional and personal history. It is clear from the beginning of the novel … More ARC Review: For the Record by Emma Lord
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
