These Rivers boys and their women! Duke and Wheeler's chemistry has slowly been simmering away in the previous books so I was very keen to finally dive into their story, and Jessica did not disappoint! Both of these characters would have been an abso...
Duke by Jessica Peterson
Did I pick up this book because I watched Heated Rivalry instead of reading the books that it's based off of first? Yes. Should I have read the books first? Yes. I don't know how I missed this series back during my sports romance era, but I really wi...
Game Changer by Rachel Reid
The hype is REAL!! Shane and Kip's story was swoony and spicy goodness, and Rachel somehow managed to follow that up by ramping up the swooniness AND smuttiness with Shane and Ilya! I don't know what it is about rival sports players, but I can't not...
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
And that's a wrap on Lucky River Ranch! Ryder and Billie were such a great note to end this series on, and Jessica made sure to close-out all of the River's stories and the journey we've been on with them, while also setting up the Double U Ranch ser...
Ryder by Jessica Peterson
Talk about all spice and no plot! If you're looking for a quick read that delivers all the spiciness and zero plot development, Ava and Tilly have delivered with this novella! Throw in a boss/employee relationship, which is with the nanny, and a char...
CTRL+ME
The banter between Hannah and Garrett is top-tier. Their chemistry is undeniable right off the bat, with a really natural connection and progression from never having spoken to one another, to tutor/tutee, to friends, and to "fake" dating. And their ...
The Deal
Logan was such a fun secondary character in the first book, so it was great getting inside his head and following his journey to a happily ever after. And even though we only just met Grace in this book, it instantly felt like we'd met her before and...
The Mistake
From the start of the Off Campus series, both Dean and Allie have been really fun characters. Dean has forever been the life of the party, offering-up hilarious one-liners across the previous two books, and some interesting wisdom from the Life of De...
The Score
I do love me some Jessica Peterson! This was a fun little romp back in Hartsville, with a couple of small cameos and references to the world established in the Lucky River Ranch series. Josie and Weston's story was a such a sweet second-chance romanc...
Save a Horse, Keep the Cowboy
Parker and Daws have great chemistry from the get-go, which results in a sweet and swoony insta-love story. And when I say insta-love, I mean insta-love - this is a 60 page novella set over a period of 24 hours, and they both declare their love for o...
Husky
Jill and Zach had the quintessential friends-to-lovers chemistry that you get with characters who've pined away for each other for years without realising that they both feel the same way. It was cute and sweet, which is par for the course for teen r...
Hefty
Okay, I'm not an sentient object girlie, but when this popped up in my feed, I was just so damn intrigued. And honestly, I have no regrets. Yes, this is so damn ridiculous, but also so damn good at delivering exactly what it set out to deliver - I'm ...
Scrub Me, Daddy
So far in the series, this is one I struggled to vibe with. While I'm a sucker for an age gap romance (and I've not been opposed to a father's best-friend story), I've not really read much in the obsessed stalker trope, and when paired with the age g...
Burly
Okay this is an age gap / besties father / dad's friend that I can get on board with Josie and Gunner had some great chemistry, especially once they started embarking on their sugar daddy/baby arrangement (which is a trope I need to read more of), an...
BULKY
Oh. My. Gawd. YES. Lenny and Daisy (Birdie) were EVERYTHING! Besties-to-lovers, age gap AND sapphic all in one?? YES PLEASE!! Their chemistry was off-the-page and I ate up every single second of this book! The romance romanced. The spice spiced. And ...
Birdie
I was looking for Twister/Twisters vibes, and I really thought this series looked like what I was searching for. So I was very disappointed when it turned out this was only THIRTY-EIGHT pages long! I was keen to hunker down and get sucked into a stor...
The Grumpy Storm Chaser
Oh. My. GOSH. I went looking for Twisters vibes and I FOUND IT!!! Sloane and Michael were exactly what I was hoping for when it came to a storm chaser romance. From the excitement of the chase to the forced proximity of the two of them finding themse...
Chase Me If You Can
📖 non-fiction
With a very basic knowledge of the series in terms of how the show was created and what was going on behind the scenes, I thoroughly enjoyed Jennifer's history of the series - sure, some of the names of the crew (and some of the guest cast) totally f...
Seinfeldia by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong
James Corden and Ruth Jones take us back to where it all began to share the story of how Gavin and Stacey came to be, and the journey from the initial one-hour comedy drama pitch to the three series and three Christmas specials that spanned seventeen...
When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between
middle grade
This was a super fun read, introducing us to the world of Willow Creek, Pine Hollow, and the horse crazy girls who inhabit it! Bonnie has a really great writing style, easily explaining all of the horse-related details in a way that is easy to unders...
