I find that this is a fantastic Romance starter book for anyone just getting into the genre. Its also a great fluffy book with all the good feels, some great intensity, and of course a happily ever after.

This book was very enjoyable. I found it through my library app and listened to the audio version. It was cute, had its elements of drama and suspense, and had comical moments. There is two protagonists, and each has its own narrator, which I find ma...

I got some major ‘P. S. I Love You’ vibes from this book. It was super cute and pulled at all the right heart strings. The emotional roller coaster was a heck of a ride. Even though there were tear jerking moments, overall the book still had a great ...

I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I found a book by Teagan I can’t give 5 stars to.... I’m in my own shock. Once again, my issue is a spoiler. So I’ll leave a summary review here, but you’ll have to go read the full review on my blog to get the...

Another great read from this series. I love how this book has two characters that have been introduced multiple times throughout the series, but these characters have never actually met before. The meet cute for Nolan and Maya was perfect: strangers ...

Book 2 in the series picks up right where book one left off. Now we are hearing the story from Shane and Crystal’s point of views. We already heard part of their first encounter in the first book, and now we get a little more depth of their thoughts ...

Oooooo this book hooked me right in! I found the audiobook through my local library. Of course I clicked borrow because the synopsis intrigued me and the topless tatted male on the cover didn’t hurt... It seemed like it would be full on intensity and...Book Quote
Good Girl a book by Piper Lawson
 
Rachel Tousignant profile picture
So we had a bit of a cliff hanger with book 1... but we kind of knew something would have to pull the characters apart right? How can they have a big dramatic reunion if something didn’t pop up to separate them in the first place! Book 2 is set a cou...

What a ride so far! The ups and downs with this trilogy have kept me on my toes that’s for sure. I couldn’t wait to dive into the last book and get all my questions answered. I was ready for more of the push and pull between these two, the struggle o...

Once again I did a listen to a book I have previously read. I remembered finding this book in the store and the tattooed rock god on the cover caught my eye. Honestly I bought the book for my mom as a gift! I had terrible intentions since I wanted to...

Eh. Not the best follow up after I loved book 1 so much. Its a cute book, but I found the storyline kinda weak. There’s a lot of funny moments in this one, some hot steamy scenes, but I also found there were a lot of scenes that were not set up the b...

This book is super hard to review. I’m so torn with my feelings! I kinda really hate how Jimmy is so dismissive of Lena’s feelings. He is flat out telling her to just stop feeling… obviously that can’t be done. I also love all the tension and denial ...

3.5 stars! I was really looking forward to this book because of the build up between Lizzy and Ben from previous books. Unfortunately it was not as I anticipated… The book was still decent, had some good heartfelt moments and comical banter. I though...

This is book 3 in the series, but it is one of my all time favourite audiobooks I have listened to [Kaleo Griffith is my favourite fantasy voice]. I have to give this book 5 steamy hot stars! The chemistry is off the charts. The banter gets comical w...
