Ray moves to Boston from Montreal to attend university, and hopes that time and distance away from their family to find themselves. There he meet Jordie, another student who is openly gender queer, who helps them through processing his gender identity (demiboy) and pronouns, and the pair just so happen to fall in love along the way.

Ray and Jordie's story was sweet with very little angst, and was a perfect addition to the Diner Days series! 

Torn on whether to rate this 3 or 4 stars 😅

Honestly, Perfectly Imperfect Pixie was not at all what I expected. There’s little to no romance and zero smut, which isn’t a bad thing at all, as the plot kept me hooked. & all in all was just a super sweet read!

Contemplating reading Peaches’s story, as I really liked his character.

Haunted Ever After is an adorable cozy small town romance set in kitschy Boneyard Key, dubbed the most haunted small town in Florida, where ghostly roommates and haunted homes are the norm, and was honestly the perfect way to start off my Spooky Season reads! 

The book follows Cassie, who hightails it out of Orlando to Boneyard Key after all her friends seem to leave her behind to get married and have kids. There she meets Nick, owner of the local coffee shop Hallowed Grounds, who takes her on ghost tours and gives her the rundown on the locals and the town in the hopes that she’ll fall in love with it (and him). 

It was cute, a little spooky, and just gave me all the feel goods!

The Seasons of Change series continues with Brandon and Andrew, two idiot besties who are both in love with each other but too scared to admit it because neither of them wants to ruin their lifelong friendship. After a break up one too many, lines blur between the besties, but will it ruin everything? 

I absolutely wanted to strangle Brandon, even though I understood his hesitancy about being with Andrew and what it would do to their friendship, but he made me want to scream. Andrew didn't deserve to be anyone's secret, and I'm so glad these two worked out their issues and got their happy ending.

Can't wait for more of this series!

Beau, ever the big brother, puts everyone's needs above his own, but who looks out for Beau and puts him first? Honestly, poor Beau about broke my heart. Then he meets Trevor, the overly cautious sex worker who he hires as his date for his sister's wedding, and they fall so hard and fast for each other. They were honestly so perfect, and their story was so sweet and steamy, but god did it make my heart ache. 

Seriously, there's just something about the way Maya writes that sucks you in and kicks your ass emotionally. 

- brother's best friend
- marriage of convenience
- small town romance 
- found family 

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect going into Won't Back Down, as this is my first book by Harper Jackson and I'm not too big on romantic suspense novels, but this was fantastic. Willa and Sawyer's story was super sweet, and the mystery of what happened to Willa and why kept me hooked. Plus the ending (and bad guy) was who I least expected!

Can't wait for more of this series!

CW: mentions of drowning, FMC has PTSD, on page panic attacks, death of a loved one, murder, kidnapping 

Still weird, still digging it.

 Fuck 😭😩

Honestly, I haven't been this in love with a fantasy book this much since ACOTAR/TOG, which I know isn't saying much for some of yall, but this was absolutely fantastic.

I mean, who doesn't love a snarky female assassin hellbent on revenge, who gets into a whole heap of shit along the way, all while fighting an intense attraction to a powerful and sinfully hot Fae male, who uncovers a truth and a past that she isn't entirely ready to embrace without breaking apart?!

To me it was perfection, and I will not be taking any criticism.

- high fantasy
- dragons
- forbidden romance
- star crossed lovers
- angsty + slow burn
- multi POV
