A very emotional yet incredibly sexy taboo romance between a new actress plucked from the theatre and the Director who's placed her in the role of a lifetime. Chronic illness rep.
Reel (Hollywood Renaissance, #1) by Kennedy Ryan | Goodreads
My least favorite character and my favorite book in the series. It's hard to turn the Obnoxious, trashy jock/ nepp baby and turn him into, not only a loving doting boyfriend, but an emotional being with a heart that can be broken.
The Score (Off-Campus, #3) by Elle Kennedy | Goodreads
Second chance romances are so hard to write, but Kennedy Ryan knows how to make the breakup gut wrenching and believable, while also convincing us these two people are redeemable and their love is worth fighting for.
Before I Let Go (Skyland, 1) by Ryan
This is a HARD read with on page abuse done to the MFC, but the romance between the two main characters has you holding out for hope that true love can prevail and the all wounds can be healed with true love.
Long Shot (Hoops, #1) by Kennedy Ryan - Goodreads
I feel like it's such a cliche because everyone recommends this book, but I've reread it In my late 20s and it still holds up for me. Trigger warning for a character who is a victim of SA.
The Deal (Off-Campus Book 1) - Elle Kennedy
I'm not sure if dystopian romances are making a return but H.M. Wolfe makes a good argument on why they should.

Forget Me Not by Julie Soto | Goodreads
I'm still not entirely sure what magical realism is, but this book was trippy and totally ridiculous. I've never read something so enchanting.

Curvy Girl Summer (Curve, #1) by Danielle Allen - Goodreads
Easy to read Fantasy
This book is slightly outrageous and a fun time. What else can you expect from a story about a teenage girl with an affinity for baking magic saving the whole town?
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher | Goodreads
I laughed, I cringed and was also slightly disturbed. It's basically magical suicide squad.
Clockwork Boys (Clocktaur War, #1) by T. Kingfisher | Goodreads
This version of Snow white gives dark and twisted in a brother's grimm kind of way.
Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher - Goodreads
If you come from a group of colonized people then this book will break your heart like it broke mine. Beautifully written.
