Catherine Walsh does Christmas Romance like no-one else. Every time I start one of her stroies, I'm immediately pulled in and swept up in the holiday feeling. I got so involved, I forgot it was January 25th and almost said Merry Christmas to someone ...
Holiday Romance

This book gave me serious high school nostalgia in the best way. Marley’s self-pity moments were frustrating at times, but her journey of self-discovery, friendships, and rekindled romance made it all worthwhile. And let’s talk about Vicky—she was ab...

Yesssssss !!!! This was soooooo good. It had me feeling all of my emotions. I was happy and sad and laughing out loud. These two are perfect for each other. I loved every second of this. And those side characters were so great. I really hope there’s ...

I’m relatively new into F1 so this grabbed my attention quickly with the slow burn love story! I felt like it was going too slow at one point but I appreciated the way the author made me feel like I was in the paddock watching the story unfold! I hav...

This book had me in a complete and total chokehold from page one! When I say that I absolutely could not wait for Vincent to get his just desserts, I meant it. Huang gave us a total slow burn that had me simmering on the edge! That tension was purely...

What a cute hockey story and a great start to the series! I just went back to reread some of my favorite moments, and I forgot how much I enjoyed this book. Fake-dating is one of my favorite tropes, and I thought Reed and Violet were precious as they...

This was such a heartfelt and sweet read. I loved every piece of it and adored Anna and Brody so much. I loved seeing them get to know one another in a way we don't typically get to see and the random questions and playful banter was just so fun. Th...

The complete and total 180 I did for Garrison was astonishing. Going into this book I was convinced I would feel kind of meh about him but, as always, Hannah changed my mind COMPLETELY. Cherry Peak is gearing up to be my favorite series by Hannah and...

Don’t you just love when a book makes you feel like part of the story? ✨ While reading Choosing Forever I felt like one of the friends right there in the mix. Watching these characters fall in love, fall out of love, and find their way back again was...

I was so excited to see book two was Zoey and Gage. The opposites attract vibes were strong which made them a very entertaining couple. Gage was able to bring some structure and order to Zoey’s life while Zoey encouraged him to be more spontaneous, l...

Friends to lovers

I am so embarrassed to say, I put off reading this book thinking it was not going to be a great book. Liana Cincotti, I was very very wrong. I loved the story line and the sweet love story. Yes, there was love, unnecessary heartache, laughter, and cr...

To say that I loved this book would actually be an understatement considering I devoured it in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put it down! I adored Blake and Wyatt (like I knew I would) so much. Their banter, their angst, the tension, and just how s...

The Vancouver Storm series has been one of my favorite hockey series and Stephanie definitely finished it with a bang in The Wild Card. This story features Tate Ward, the coach and Jordan Hathaway, the Storm's owner's estranged daughter. I loved the ...
