My heart! I absolutely loved this book so much that I can’t really find the right words. Matt and Noah are amazing, even when I wanted to shake them so they’d finally use their words. Their growing feelings made me so happy and pulled on my heartstrings so much. It was amazing!

This was a great read! It dealt so well with the struggles of grief without ever getting too heavy, the balance between loss and love was so good. The mystery was a good subplot throughout, but the love story definitely had the upper hand. Loved it!

I loved Final Proposal! I’m so happy we got to Ford’s story, he’s amazing. Ellery is a great counterpart to him, even when she’s in denial about it. They’re so good together!

I loved this novella! The story was great, Adam and Derek were so good together. It was a very quick listen, perfect if you just want to escape for a while. Their struggles were relatable, and the book is filled with all of the swoon and all of the steam!

Another amazing book in the Midnight in Dallas series! Melissa always knows the way to my heart, and this was book no exception. I loved how real this story felt, dealing with family, with expectations, with feeling lost, with hope. The perfect read now that the days are getting shorter again!

5.0

Cooper’s story was absolutely worth the wait! This book has so much heart, so much love, so many feelings that it’s difficult to find the right words. Waverly and Cooper are amazing, both together and apart! I kept putting the book away after a chapter because I wanted to make it last as long as possible, but then I picked it up immediately again because I had to know how everything was playing out! I loved everybody in this book, it’s always great when people I love are back, as well as getting to know new characters. Diego was such a great addition to the whole gang, he’s too precious for words!

I absolutely loved this book! I stayed up way too late finishing it, I just couldn’t put it down. I loved how many hockey scenes were in the book, give me all the sports on my sports romance! I’m glad I finally read it.

I loved Blank Spaces so much! It showed so well how important it can be to find the labels that describe how you’ve felt for so long, Vaughn's journey in this was so good. A great representation of finding where you might fall in the queer community. It was amazing to see Vaughn and Jonah’s relationship develop, how they found what works for them! Several moments in the book pulled my heart strings and I just couldn’t stop reading!

Another great book in this series! The tropes weren’t my favorite, but I still loved the story. Dash and Talia are so good together, and I was so happy to finally read their story! We’ve seen glimpses of their chemistry in the previous books already, and it was worth the wait!
