This was such a fun read! I've been trying to read more books outside of my comfort zone and this was another terrific read that I can't wait for the next one to come out. I loved the idea of the Devil House and the different things the contestants had to do each night in order to survive. So much drama and action to keep you sucked in, and of course romance as well! I loved it all! I liked all the paranormal beings and just the whole dark vibes of this book! I need more please!

This was a amazing read! I'm new to the romantasy genre so I'm picking up books that I think sound good based off what others are saying. Witches is all I needed to be honest! This is a true enemies to lovers to enemies story and I was all here for it! The whole witch and witch hunter love thing was so fun and was just the kind of cat and mouse game that I like apparently! The world, the love, the betrayal, that damn ending!! Give me it all! I loved it and now can't wait to read the next book. (Hopefully soon)

I loved this story! Married in Vegas, things go wrong in life and years later a second chance arises! I love second chance romances and this one was so good (even if a bit rushy for my liking) but still, it was sweet and cute! I loved the twins. They were charming, witty, and I smiled everytime their scenes came up. Harper was amazing with them, she quickly fit right in with them and back into Marcus's life like their relationship never ended to begin with. They definitely had a strong connection that didn't wear down with time apart. Marcus was the epitome of a perfect man and father. He loves so deeply and was determined to get Harper back in his life for good. This was such a good time and definitely recommend picking it up.

I absolutely adored Miles and Penelope's story! I love a good single mom romance, throw in some suspense, a sprinkle of love and protectiveness, a whole lot of friendship and small town love and that's what you get with this book! Miles was so swoon worthy throughout this whole book! Between how he was with Penelope and with her son Kai, I was all here for it! He was so protective of both of them, for good reason too!! I loved how quickly everyone took both her and her son in and treated them like one of their own. Absolutely loved this!!! Pick this one up for sure.

This was such a cute fall romance between a grumpy ex baseball player and a city girl running away from her life in Detroit. I adored Becca. She definitely had a rough life but she has persevered and was thriving in small town Kirby Falls. Will was just mad because his career ended abruptly and came back home even though he didn't really want to. They both needed each other to help each other heal, learn to trust and feel, love and become friends and lovers. This was definitely a sweet romance and loved all the vibes. Will's family and friends took Becca in like she was one of them from the beginning! Ahh just so cute! Definitely recommend picking this one up!

I decided to start a new to author, a genre I don't really pick up often and wanted to try more of this year and needless to say... I'll be back for more of Rebecca's books!
All the stars!! I was quite impressed with how this book kept me engaged and wanting more! I loved it! Dorian and Baz were end game for me from the very beginning. He needed saving from the very beginning and I was all here for a strong, independent woman to come sweeping in and saving the day. And can we talk about this cat and it's name! Omg I died ☠️🤣! Screwtape, love it!
I didn't know this was book two going in so now I'll need to go back and read the first book as well as hunt down her other books!

Talk about a emotional read from the very first page! This book will have you crying, laughing, crying again all while having "Hope" that good things come to this family. I absolutely adored the Quinn family and they have such big hearts and have endured what most people don't want to face. To say this book is special would be a understatement. All the feels in this one along with family, love, romance, loss, found family, all the things wrapped up in a small little town around the holiday season! Definitely worth picking up this short little novella!

Ellie does it again with this cozy mystery! I've been loving this series and I'm sad to see that the next book will be the last! 😭 I loved that this was revolving around Valentine's day and romance was in bloom through out meanwhile trying to solve a murder. I DID NOT see who did it coming! I was completely shocked because I totally thought it was someone else! Love when her books twist to someone else that I didn't even think of! Perfection! I loved this and can't wait for the next one to come out!

I loved Archer and Sabrina's story so much! Archer is such a sweetheart! I loved the disability rep and feel like it was done perfectly! Sabrina was definitely a sweetheart too! I loved how well she adapted to Archer and made sure to always be mindful! The whole vibe of this book was just all around a sweet romance while also focusing on ASL which plays a huge roll in the story! Archer is definitely the protective type and took him a bit to warm up to Sabrina which was totally understandable! I love that she gets to have a relationship with her brother and his fiance all while loving Archer! It was just so cute once they got over being stubborn with each other. The way he would move mountains for her, protect her and love her deeply just made my romance heart so happy. I definitely recommend picking this one!
