This book EXCEEDED every expectation I had for it. It was the most beautiful second chance romance I have EVER read. I loved the play on a dual POV in place of it being two different characters; it was a then/now time shift. This showed character development and relationship evolution in such a compelling, unique way. Jack and Brooke’s story was more than your average romance; it truly is a work of love. The emotional depth and heartfelt moments had me completely captivated from start to finish. Alexandra Kiley’s writing is stunning, making every scene feel intimate and deeply moving. This needs to become a must-read for any romance reader!!

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

I kept waiting for this book to get good. While on audio, I kept being like “the good part is coming I know it” and next thing I know I’m 70% in. I barely remember the plot and I just finished it. I think I’ve retained more information from Charlie Brown’s teacher than this book. Sorry to the girlies who love it, but this was atrocious.
Too Late: Definitive Edition by Colleen Hoover
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
First of all ACAB. I fucking hate cops and the only exception for a cop romance is the knockemout series.
Second of all, they describe someone as autistic in a very demeaning way, and are like “I know the signs I have a brother” then act afraid of the person?!?! Idk this just rubbed me the wrong way.

I found this book to be a pretty solid read by Christy McKellan. We have a good Mary-Kate and Ashley sister swap vibe and an unattainable hot boss. I found the chemistry between the FMC and MMC to be fantastic. I could’ve even been wanting more longing throughout the book. Besides the singular chapter from Dee’s point of view being a waste of pages I think this book was a hit. I am excitedly, hoping for a book two that tells all about Dee and Jem’s vacation in Hawaii. I would recommend this book for those who want a solid romance with light spice.
