The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros absolutely shattered me. Like… soul-wrecked, ugly-crying-midday kind of shattered. The story starts sad (you’re warned), but still holds this quiet hope. And just when you think maybe, maybe, you’ll be okay? Boom. E...

I’ve never met a Lucy Score book I didn’t love, but this one officially takes the top spot! (Trust me, read the whole series, you’ll thank me later.) As for Suit Daddy? He’s living rent-free in my mind and I’m not mad about it.

Elsie Silver 5/5 Author I’ve devoured everything Elsie Silver has ever written. She is an instant read author for me. Her characters feel real, her romances are magnetic, and her stories stay with you long after the last page. I’m (im)patiently cou...

But let’s be real… I’m here for Slate. He’s officia...

Okay, so Elsie Silver books as a whole got their own rec, but Wild Side needed its own moment. 5/5 stars, no question. Rhys and this book live rent free in my head — like, constantly. The chemistry was unreal and now I suddenly have the strongest urg...

I devoured The Treasured One(book 1), and this second book delivers just as much magic and heart! While it’s part of a series, The Steadfast One can easily be read as a standalone, there’s minimal overlap between characters.
Mar, the FMC, is such a s...

This is a beautifully written, character-driven novel that quietly pulls you in and doesn’t let go. While I typically gravitate toward more plot-driven stories, especially when it comes to historical fiction set during wartime, this one surprised me ...

This is one of those books that sticks with you. It’s definitely a heavier read, but such a powerful story, the kind that makes you stop and think long after you’re done. I first read it over a decade ago and have gone back to it a few times since… i...
