But the werewolf love interest in this low is amazing. I fell in love with him and it's so much fun. It's so good.

Casanova LLCJulia Whelan
Loved it

This book was so much fun. I did the audio book... Casanova LLC is the book that the narrators in this book are narrating and she wrote it and released it and did the audio book and it's so good.

While it's not as spicy as her other books, it's still just as funny and the sexual tension is still amazing... as a person who loves competitive books, this was everything... I was expecting not to like it as much and I loved it.

I stumbled across this when I was really anxious and really just wanted something to read really quickly and there it was and I opened it up, started reading in the shower and I couldn't stop reading it and then it was over before I knew it because it's a novella. But I loved it so much.

Loved it

I had the best time reading this... I really love the romance... Things get really spicy but also has so much heart.

Divine RivalsRebecca Ross
Loved it

I finally read these books and they were excellent. They're labeled as a romanty, but it's more grounded than your typical romanty and they're at war.

Loved it

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH... I devoured this with my whole soul. I am absolutely in love with Zayen Ryerson. I am so invested in everyone in this book and in the world.

Ruthless VowsRebecca Ross
Loved it

I finally read these books and they were excellent. It's very you've got mail but with like a 1940s fantasy twist, like an urban fantasy twist. It's so good. I loved it so much.

The Wedding PeopleAlison Espach
Loved it

This book was such a surprise. I didn't think when I was reading it that it was going to make this list, but it has really sunk into my pores and stuck with me all year... I ended up really loving it.

Oh my goodness, I had the best time reading this book. It is like The Little Mermaid meets Pirates of the Caribbean, heavy on the Pirates of the Caribbean... It's just so good.
