If I Had the Chance - EM Lindsey
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
coworker to lover • no steam • blind MC

« right now, he wanted food, the comfort of touch, and to listen to Adam tell him all about the film he didn’t give two shits about watching. »

This was cute, with mutual crush and cuddles by the tv. I love the diversity in disability rep in EM Lindsey’s books, and even if it’s not discussed in details here, it added a Little something to the story.

The room I paid for - Crea Reitan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Slight annoyance to lovers •

A couple of these were super cute and I loved but others weren’t the best.
Such a great way to discover some new authors and I really enjoyed the way different authors had such different approaches to the snowed in theme.
