Bittersweet SurrenderQ. Tyler
Loved it

This is messy. It is the heroine is going to therapy with her husband cuz they're on the rocks and she falls for her therapist. So, if you like mess, I had a lot of fun reading this and I definitely need to continue on the series, but I didn't because I don't like finishing things. Not because I didn't like it. This was very fun.

Close KnitDenise Stone
Loved it

So, it's really fun and she gets really close with the teammates and kind of like teaches them how to knit. And the hero is dealing with a lot though... But, they are so cute together. And I loved the just premise of this one. and I wish more people read it.

For Better or HearseAva Hunter
Loved it

And so good. Obviously, it's kind of a little bit of a heavier topic of going around the fact that the grandfather is literally dying, but there's a lot of family trauma that happens in here and I just really had fun reading this.

This one is a coach MMA student... She's very mature for her age... So she does that and they obviously fall for each other. A very taboo forbidden age gap... And if you like that MMA as well, I would recommend this one. The whole series is great.

On Midnight ShoresJulie Olivia
Loved it

It's very artsy small town... And I had so much fun reading this. He was so jealous when other people showed interest in her and I was just obsessed with him and the setting is so cute and this whole book was so good. Just the vibes were perfect for what I wanted. I wish more people read this one as well.

I love this. I did talk about this recently, my why choose Rex video. This is a Omega versse hockey romance... And she meets her scent match and her scent match wants nothing to do with her... And the other ones absolutely adore her and want to. So, she kind of has to break down their walls and realize like why they're so hesitant to have an Omega and it's really good and they're all hockey players and they're all super overprotective and I had so much fun reading this one.

RequiemCallie Hart
Loved it

And I had read this one because Tori had raved about it. And it's very hard to explain without spoiling it, but the heroine is kind of training to kill people... And I was so into this. That's all I can say without I you do not look up anything about this book... but I went in knowing nothing and I was obsessed. So, if you want a very unique book, like I've literally read nothing like this and if that premise sounds interesting, read this one. It's so good.

This is her sappic romance and it is small town tattoo artist. So good. They have to live together and I really love this one... This was one of the first books I read this year, and I gave it five stars, and more people need to read it, especially if you love sappic romances and small town and tattooed heroins and tattooed artists. Like, read this one, please.

Take It or Leaf ItLaney Hatcher
Loved it

It's a winter one, but this is perfect for fall. Perfect small town cozy... it is so cute. Like if you love the cozy small town, please read Laney Hatcher. She is so underrated and I need to read her next book so badly.

The Shake OffLulu Moore
Loved it

This one is really fun. So, she is actually older than him and they hook up and she is not impressed. She's like, 'Wow, that was bad.' And so, he ends up having bad luck and like really bad mojo going into pitching... And it's so fun. I really like this whole series.

What We BrokeMarley Valentine
Loved it

If you want a second chance very angsty and very emotional book, What We Broke by Marley Valentine. I was also shocked by her backlist and how her books don't have a ton of ratings because I've seen a lot of people reading her... this one especially is very emotional. They are married. It is mm and they had a tragic thing happen and they are really trying to overcome that together... So if you want a very emotional second chance romance, What We Broke is definitely one of those.
