this book was probably one of the best books i’ve read. being a mom, this really touched me in many ways i never thought. i often found myself saying “i can’t even imagine going through this”
it was such a beautiful story about some real life scena...
Home Front by Kristin Hannah
the book is always better than the movie. i loved this book. such an easy read, had an amazing flow. nothing extremely spicy. but really overall a cute cheesy romance. 5/5 stars for me!
It Ends with Us: A Novel by Colleen Hoover
the twist at the end had me in SHAMBLES. this is the only mystery/ thriller book that i actually enjoy. SOOOOOO good. i will say, it is a bit slow, but if you’re willing to hold on tight… you’ll be amazed. 5/5
Then She Was Gone: A Novel by Lisa Jewell
another super cute romance. started off when they were kids but how do they manage to fight their feelings as adults??? this book goes back and forth between the past and the present. don’t worry, it lets you know! i loved this book and i actually wi...
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
this book got me back into reading. really short but it’s so worth it. it actually has a big plot twist! really good if you’re wanting to get into reading but don’t know if you’d like romance. 4/5
In Five Years by Rebecca Serle
SPOILERS!!!!
This book was absolutely INSANE. and that's why i'm giving it a high rating. i didn't even freaking think this book would turn out the way it did. my mama heart wasn't able to comprehend the insanity, that had happened to Verity's girl...
Verity: Hoover, Colleen: 9781538724736
This author really enjoys the time travel aspect. if you’re into that with some romance, this one will be great for you. The MC goes on a journey in Italy to reconnect with her mom. great for beginner readers. 3/5
One Italian Summer: A Novel by Rebecca Serle
the entire series is my favorite. if you’re looking to buy all the books at once, i’d say go for it! extremely spicy by the way! and i mean DETAIL. so you’ve been warned!!! also: it is more country romance!
Chestnut Springs Series by Elsie Silver
such a great enemies to lovers kind of romance. Summer is sent to watch over Rhett by her dad. (her dad manages Rhett) and he HATES having a babysitter. but he’s very much attracted to her, and there’s boundaries they’re not crossing. spicy!! 5/5
Flawless (Chestnut Springs, 1): Silver, Elsie
nanny and single dad. do i need to say more???? Cade is super serious and Willa is just a goofball trying to have some fun. “save a horse ride a cowboy. 5/5!!!
Heartless (Chestnut Springs, #2) by Elsie Silver
Jasper and Sloane have been friends for the longest time. but actually grew up together. they know every single detail about one another. but Sloane is actually getting married. Jasper is a hugeeeee celebrity. does it work out? idk, but you should re...
Powerless (Chestnut Springs, #3) by Elsie Silver
my FAVORITE book out of this entire series! who doesn’t love a random pregnancy??!!! Winter falls in love with the view of Theo holding that baby. but will it make or break them? who caves? and when will they tell the rest of the family? 1000000/5
Reckless (Chestnut Springs, #4) by Elsie Silver
Beau is a military hero, but Bailey’s family is known for being the worst. they make a bet to see if her reputation really is trashed because of them. sooo they start a fake engagement…. 4/5
Hopeless (Chestnut Springs, #5) by Elsie Silver
yes this book is definitely worth the BookTok hype. the twists. the turns. EVERYTHING. it is very slow paced so i recommend preparing yourself. but if you’re willing to wait for some excitement then grab ittttt. ROMANTASY AT ITS FINEST.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
i wasn’t expecting it to be filled with drama, chapter after chapter. if you’ve already watched the movie, read the book. it’s WAY better. if you haven’t seen or read the movie or the book, start with the book first. sooooo good.
Regretting You: Hoover, Colleen: 9781542016421
probably one of my FAVORITE books of all time. it’s about dragons, powers, and ROMANCE. if you don’t have a book boyfriend, you’ll have one after reading this book. Welcome to the Empyrean.
Fourth Wing (Standard Edition) - Yarros
ACOMAF - must have even if the first book was ROUGH! it has a massive twist that you’ll never believe and it’ll make you want more!! i couldn’t believe my eyes, as i continued to read! sooooo good. 4/5 for me!!!
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
If you’re new to romantasy it may not be for you. but if you’ve been here, you’ll love it! enemies to lovers, fae lore, dark and spicy! 3.5/5 for me, but still a great read!!
Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, 1) by Callie Hart

In a Heartbeat (Rosewood River, #5) by Laura Pavlov
I was surprised by this book.
i didn’t think i would like the plot, considering this is my first ballerina book. the suspense of a nice shared? he’s loved her for eleven years and all she’s done, was push him away????
the only reason i gave it a ...

The Last Letter - Yarros, Rebecca: Books
i give this book a 4.5 rating because i often found myself dazing off. but the detail and enemies to lovers has me in a huge chokehold. there were some things i definitely wasn’t expecting and some i called out. i actually can’t wait to continue this...
