When Bad Looks Good
Curl Up Season
Every season deserves a love story. Curl up, crack it open, and romanticize wherever you are in the year.
I loved the premise of the fake relationship and the forced proximity trope. It was also cozy and queer, I love a seasonal read!
The Nightmare Before Kissmas: A Royals and Romance Novel
I love a curvy, quirky, clumsy girl romcom throw in a tempting demon and problems on the horizon and I’m sold. This was a cute Halloweeny read.
A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley
Umm Ginger Irishman that calls the Prince of Christmas boyo just to get under his skin and who softens when you need him to? Yes, please. I’m a sucker for a nickname. Everyone has attitude, there’s some late stage coming of age and realizations but a...
Go Luck Yourself by Sara Raasch
I don’t typically read a lot of series, when it comes to books I’m one and done. I love a stand alone so when I book comes along and takes me into a world I want to keep going to, I have to share. This series is that, it’s witty, witchy, dark with a ...
Graves Glen Series by Erin Sterling
Ali Hazelwood, am I right?
She writes every kind of character you’ll obsess over. Warning: your TBR will not survive this section. No notes, no skips, no regrets.
This was recommended to me from a very good bookish friend and I am paying it forward. I’m not usually into swim themed books, but these two characters come together so real and organic that once I got going I couldn’t put it down.
Moreover, Ali al...
Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
The premise of this book intrigued me and hit all of my fave boxes. Vampires, werewolves and a marriage of convenience. It’s spicy, it’s mysterious and so worth the read. I can’t wait to read its companion, Mate!
Bride - Ali Hazelwood
This is the sequel to Bride, I have to say I genuinely didn’t think after reading Bride the direction this book would go in. It’s very much a slow burn, but for good reason. It’s really nice how the characters deal with issues like grown adults, ther...
Mate by Ali Hazelwood
Let’s Hear It for the Boys
My fave book boyfriends in all the land. Seriously, why aren’t they real?
I have re-read this book so many times, if you’ve seen the movie…the book will surprise you. It’s definitely better than the movie in every way. The movie removes key characters and scenes that make their choices make more sense.
Their love is such...
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Run don’t walk to read this book, I was so intrigued by it I bought the physical copy and live without regret. This book reads like a movie plot and it has quite a few twists but the love story carries you through. You’ll care so much for the charact...
You, Again by Kate Goldbeck
Frat boy turns unexpected heroine in a romance series. Forced proximity. Omegaverse. Dimension hopping. A book within a book. This series is the funniest I’ve ever read!
I wanted to read something totally different and get myself out of a reading s...
Bro and the Beast (The Wolf's Mate Book 1)
I picked this book up when I wanted to get out a reading rut. It was a great palate cleanser and also super cute. I’m not into tons of reality tv but I do love a dating show and this story turns that on its head in the best way. Not all forbidden lov...
The Charm Offensive #1 - Goodreads
I found this book right after I had gone on months long hiatus from traditionally published authors. Reading the synopsis it felt like a bridge between fan fictions and contemporary fiction. It did not disappoint.
Hayes is such an honest, sexy and ...
The Idea of You: A Novel by Robinne Lee
Long before a steamy, gorgeous bottomed tv series made its viral rounds, I read this entire series start to finish and fell in love with every character. When I’d finished all of them, I knew my favorite was Iyla.
I loved Scott too, he was the most...
Game Changers Series by Rachel Reid
When Bad Looks Good
For when you want your romance morally grey, a little dangerous and a lot steamy. No judgment. You know why you’re here.
A priest, a monk and a jaded business man all walk into a bar. What you get is this series, these brothers. And unlike some bar nights, this one won’t be riddled with hangovered regret.
Do yourself the favor, say yes. It’s steamy, a little bad…okay...
The Priest Series by Sierra Simone
I have no idea how I found this book, but let me tell youuuuuu it’s hot 🥵. There are so many twists and turns, it can make you a little queasy. There’s some interesting explorations of kink, a bit of revenge and underneath it all two people finding ...
Corrupt (Devil's Night, #1) by Penelope Douglas
