I generally don't like books that are "slow burns." I find that either you get so much of the characters pining after each other without telling each other how they feel like it's just like, come on already, or that there is no chemistry and then all of a sudden these characters are together just … Continue reading Book Review: The Slowest Burn
Mazey Eddings is a writer that I've been following for a little while now. Though I didn't read her entire "A Brush with Love" series, Late Bloomer will be the third book of hers that I read. I couldn't connect with Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, but I really liked Lizzie's friend Indira, so I read … Continue reading Book Review: Late Bloomer
If I were ever to become an author—which will never happen—I would love to write a plus-size love story because fat people are just as loveable as everyone else, and I love to see the representation. One of my favourite books featuring a plus-size MC (or even books in general) is One To Watch by … Continue reading Book Review: On The Plus Side
This time last year, I was reviewing Erin Hahn's Built To Last, and I can't believe almost a year has flown by... where has the time gone? I seem to be on a romantic-comedy spree these days, so Hahn's latest, Friends Don't Fall In Love (being released in October), was a nice companion to what … Continue reading Book Review: Friends Don’t Fall In Love
This is officially the summer of the romantic comedy for me, and I'm definitely not complaining—especially when there's been such a strong showing from new writers or writers trying new genres. Love Interest (which will be in stores October 10; perfect for the holidays) is the debut novel by Clare Gilmore that takes place at … Continue reading Book Review: Love Interest
Every time I come across the enemies-to-lovers trope I'm on board to read the book. My husband would tell you it's probably because I show my love through teasing, so I come by it honestly...but this isn't about me. I read The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall exactly a year ago today and I thought … Continue reading Book Review: The Last Word
I was contacted by St. Martin's Press to read the final book in the "A Brush with Love" series, though I had only read the second one, Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, at that point. Though I wasn't blown away by it, I did like the writing and there were some spicy scenes that I enjoyed … Continue reading Book Review: The Plus One
If you know me at all, you know I love a good friends-to-lovers trope (not as much as enemies-to-lovers, but we need to change it up every so often). When two people aren't looking for love and are so drawn to each other that they can't stay apart...those are the kinds of stories I want … Continue reading Book Review: A Guide to Being Just Friends
I’m not going to lie, when I read this synopsis on NetGalley to see if I wanted to review Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings, I’m not sure I was fully paying attention, or maybe I got confused with another book because I don’t recall requesting it. As I started reading it, I kept … Continue reading Book Review: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake
As a lover of books, no one would be surprised to learn that I'd love to open a bookstore (with a café) one day. It's one of those "if I were to win the lottery and were able to quit my day job" kind of dreams. I think that's why I was especially drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Booked on a Feeling
