Yin Yang Love Song by Lauren Kung Jessen
4.5
This delightful rom-com blends Chinese traditions with a family curse, featuring Chryssy, an herbalist, who finds herself fake dating Vin, a bad boy celebrity cellist. I loved Chryssy and Vin, and the supporting cast, especially Leo and the aunties, is such a highlight!
I loved the perfect mix of laughs and swoon-worthy moments, all wrapped around messages about slowing down to savor life and embracing the art of reinvention. If you want a heartwarming read celebrating love and cultural richness, this book is for you!

Mr. Heartbreaker by Piper Rayne
4.0
MR. HEARTBREAKER kicks off Piper Rayne’s new hockey romance series, The Nest. MR. HEARTBREAKER features fashion designer Kyleigh and hockey star Rowan. What starts as a chance encounter at a wedding quickly turns into a life-changing experience for both.
From page one, I was hooked on Kyleigh and Rowan’s story. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their witty banter kept me engaged. I enjoyed seeing them grow individually and as a couple.
I both read and listened to MR. HEARTBREAKER, and it’s a must-listen! This book has set a new standard for romance audiobooks with its duet and full cast narration.
Each of Rowan’s teammates/neighbors having their own narrator brought a new level of enjoyment, making their interactions one of my favorite parts of the book. Narrators Erin Mallon and Sean Masters were fantastic as Kyleigh and Rowan.
I devoured this book in one sitting. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next!

The Rival by Emma Lord
4.5
Sadie never imagined seeing Seb, her academic arch-nemesis, attending the same college. This unexpected twist turns her dream job at Newsbag, the renowned college zine, into a battleground. Can Sadie finally put an end to their rivalry once and for all?
Emma Lord dazzles once again with The Rival! From the moment I dived into Sadie and Seb's world, I was hooked. It was an absolute delight to watch them navigate the ups and downs of freshman year, fall in love, and fight for change at their school. Their journey of self-discovery beautifully illustrates that embracing who you truly are leads to a loud, wild, and wonderfully messy life.
What truly sets this book apart is the vibrant supporting characters. Betty, the warm-hearted restaurant owner, completely stole my heart, while the friendship between Sadie and Christina added so much depth and warmth to the story. The tight-knit group of family and friends forms the village that lifts Sadie and Seb through all their challenges.
The Rival is a heartwarming read that will leave you smiling and laughing. Don’t miss out on this gem!
