klein and pathis book was simply a delight from start to finish. i was smiling the entire time i read it and it is a PERFECT beach read for summer!!!
klein and paisley shared one drunken kiss in college but a small phone mishap led to them… never speaking again. imagine paisley’s surprise when she’s out for her sister’s bachelorette party (who’s getting married to her ex!!!) and she runs into klein again and now has the opportunity to not show up single to her ex’s wedding. what could go wrong?
me? loving a blonde man? stop the presses. but klein was truly that good!!!!! he was so obsessed with her and never hesitated to stand up for her to her family of assholes (to be candid). paisley is a people-pleaser extraordinaire and i loved that even if he didn’t understand why she let people walk over her, he still supported her no matter what.
this book is funny, sexy, sweet, and just a giggly fun time!!! ...more
UGH THIS WAS SO GOOD. and i loved the summer you found me but it was ANGSTYYYYY and this was the perfect drama but not break your heart angst like thaUGH THIS WAS SO GOOD. and i loved the summer you found me but it was ANGSTYYYYY and this was the perfect drama but not break your heart angst like that one.
emerson left her small town, with all of its cruel bullying and trauma, behind years ago but she’s now incredibly successful and has the revenge opportunity of a lifetime - destroying the town that tried to break her and all of her bullies with it. except things get a little complicated when she has to stay in town to take care of her (awful) mother and finds that her contractor who she’s been texting nonstop for months has rival plans to preserve the town’s history instead.
if you’ve struggled with your weight, disordered eating, bullying around your body, etc. this might be a tough read but her story touched home for me and i just loved it. emerson really went through it and has a disordered attitude towards food and exercise because of it. the people in her town and her FUCKING MOMMMMM are the worst but she finally found someone who would stick up for her in liam and god, i just loved them.
emerson really built a shell around her heart and was distrusting and uncaring towards everyone until she met liam who showed her time and time again that he’d be there for her at every turn. emerson and liam had the wittiest back and forth, the most fiery tension and passion, and the deepest understanding and love for each other.
for my girls who love an ice queen, grumpy girl and the stories about why they became that way, you will love this and so appreciate liam’s funny attitude and unwavering support for her. i loved every second of this from start to finish. 10/10!!!...more

frank and ellie were childhood friends who through miscommunications and outside forces, never became more but boy, is frank ready to pick up where they left off!!!! except they’re both kind of on the run.
their banter and chemistry was everything. it was giving mindf*ck series + catherine cowles style suspense and the plot twist reallyyyyy got me. ...more
imagine the first time you see your ex in years is when you're a glorified coffee intern for a production company and hthis was so angsty but so good!
imagine the first time you see your ex in years is when you're a glorified coffee intern for a production company and he's the famous rockstar you now need to babysit. worse? he keeps asking why you're not farther along in your career and you don't know how to tell him that your last night together left you with a very permanent memory.
their connection was everything and i love angst when you're not questioning whether they actually like each other or not. no, this was like, just bone already, you know you want to....more
if you are a small town romance lover, grumpy sunshine lover, banter lover, PRAISE LOVER, you must read this entire serI AM SO SAD THIS SERIES IS OVER
if you are a small town romance lover, grumpy sunshine lover, banter lover, PRAISE LOVER, you must read this entire series. i command you.
this last book is about finn and olivia who were childhood best friends who had finally taken things to another level after they graduated but finn moves away afterward and they’ve avoided each other since. when he gets a wake up call that he can’t keep living without her, he moves back determined to make up for their lost time.
i’ve said it before but sometimes romcom authors just aren’t that funny but this series, genuinely every single book had me laughing out loud. finn and olivia have a prank war going on the whole book and the antics and banter were so so good.
there’s also just something about a man who knows he messed up in the beginning of a book and spends the rest of it making it up to her.
when i tell you the rhodes brothers have the bigggggggest BDE ever, i am not lying and genuinely some of the best praise shmink i have ever read. already planning a reread. ...more
this one was so angsty but so good and please give me angst if you throw in no third act breakup - the perfect combo.
mare and cade were alw4.5 stars!
this one was so angsty but so good and please give me angst if you throw in no third act breakup - the perfect combo.
mare and cade were always drawn to each other as kids and always around each other as cade is mare's best friend's brother. when they got older, they finally decided to give things a shot but when cade thought she might hold herself back from her dreams for him, he lets her go (class stupid boy move). years later, they're forced back near each other and along with a lot of anger and resentment, their old feelings are just below the surface.
this was so angsty and so spicy but wow, these two are soulmates/ i loved their connection from childhood so much and there's just something about childhood friends always sharing a bed to comfort each other. cade was so grumpy and afraid of being vulnerable but his actions were SO soft and sweet, i can't.
there were also so many great side relationships. pippa and mare's friendship was so cute - i love when the best friend can be reasonable and not act like it's a felony to date their brother. i also loved pippa and cade's mom's relationship with mare and all of them.
this book does deal with the loss of two relatives and a lot of the book was about the grief journey which i loved but warning on that.
fingers crossed we get a pippa and grumpy tourist book!...more
updating because release day is HERE BESTIESSSS. coach is one of devney's best and for sure, one of her spiciest. ford and millie were everything i houpdating because release day is HERE BESTIESSSS. coach is one of devney's best and for sure, one of her spiciest. ford and millie were everything i hoped for and more.
ford and millie were best friends in college and millie had just worked up the courage to confess her crush when both of their lives completely changed. ten years later, he's back in her life when he takes a coaching job in her department at their alma mater and when he realizes millie is back in his life, he's not letting her go.
i LOVED this so much. literally read it in 4 hours because it was just so good. it's definitely one of her angstier books, as are a lot of second chance romances, so if you are into low/no angst, this might not be up your alley but i loved it. their love story is not the smoothest or the prettiest but when ford sees millie again, he does everything he can to keep her in his life this second time around and make up for the tough decisions he made in their past.
i loved millie. she is all of us who have ever had our trust broken and are terrified of making ourselves vulnerable. i loved how all of the guys in the athletics department loved her and her relationship with ford's daughter was so cute.
FORD. my god, this man. he was everything i needed him to be. a single dad, hot as heck, a dirty talker, a little possessive and jealous, and totally obsessed with millie. i already can't wait to reread this one....more

kandi reallyyyyyy put her back into this one, ok? leo might have just secured his spot as my favorite hero of this series.
mary had her heart broken bkandi reallyyyyyy put her back into this one, ok? leo might have just secured his spot as my favorite hero of this series.
mary had her heart broken by leo back in high school but he doesn't even know it. years later, he's intrigued by the beautiful girl next door but has no idea why she won't give him the time of day. when pipes burst in mary's rental home, leo offers her a free room in the football house and money's tight so she really can't say no. she can't seem to stay away from present leo and all his charm but she also can't forget her past with him.
this was so effing good guys, i can't deal. leo is so hot and for what??? they were giving reverse grumpy sunshine and he was just so obsessed with her. she would be mean to him and he's like i love you more now <3 (relatable). the cute gestures were out of freaking control, i mean the man lets her give him a tattoo just so she can trust him. and the SPICE, my goodness. someone bring this man to life and amazon prime him to my door, thank you.
i'm so sad this series is over but damn, it's a good one and this was the perfect ending....more
this is talia hibbert’s YA debut and it packs all the same great things about her contemporary romance books but with the nostalgia of high s4.5 stars
this is talia hibbert’s YA debut and it packs all the same great things about her contemporary romance books but with the nostalgia of high school crushes and no spice
this is childhood best friends to enemies/academic rivals to friends to lovers and i’m obsessed. it has all my favorite qualities of a talia hibbert book: curvy heroine, quirky and imperfect but undeniably lovable characters, off the charts banter and chemistry, and great representation
their chemistry was 10/10 and i highlighted something from almost every single one of their conversations in the book because the banter was so good...more
look no further, here’s your new fave marriage of convenience book.
shay and noah were once close friends in high school who vowed to leave their smallook no further, here’s your new fave marriage of convenience book.
shay and noah were once close friends in high school who vowed to leave their small town behind and forget about everyone, except each other. but, life happens and many years and one failed engagement for shay later, she’s back in that small town after being left a tulip farm. they never did see each other again but imagine her surprise when the neighboring farm is owned by noah. when shay discloses that she needs to get married to keep the land, noah offers to marry her… purely so he can have extra land for his farm… that’s absolutely the only reason.
NOAH is mine, all you b*tches back off. he’s a soft-spoken grump but he is an absolute simp what better combo then a man who worships you and also doesn’t have a lot to say? he’s also the guardian to his niece and he’s so dedicated to making a family for his niece and shay. so many grand gestures, SO MUCH “wife” i die.
speaking of the niece, kids are always kinda hit or miss in books (more miss, let’s be honest) but gennie was foul-mouthed and hilarious.
poor shay just wanted to be loved and has a tiny fear of abandonment (don’t we all) and noah was like, let me reassure you every single step of the way.
and the spice guys… phew. so good and there was a lot of it. noah is all buttoned up on the outside but behind closed doors, he’s something else.
i’m so torn on this one - i liked sylvie and spencer and their relationship had a lot of passion and devotion but some parts of the book fell3.5/5 ⭐️s
i’m so torn on this one - i liked sylvie and spencer and their relationship had a lot of passion and devotion but some parts of the book fell flat for me. their beginning felt rushed - we hear that they were obsessed with each other in high school but don’t really get to see any of that at all. i felt like i was told as a reader they loved each other instead of getting to actually see it. and overall, i wish sylvie had been given a better character development and that we got to see her find her own strength during the story. overall, i did enjoy the book and the plot was interesting but the pacing/order of events and the actual substance of their relationship fell a little flat for me. ...more
Whew, talk about angst and passion. This is a second chance, brother's best friend romance between Delilah and Dante. Dante's best friends w3.75 Stars
Whew, talk about angst and passion. This is a second chance, brother's best friend romance between Delilah and Dante. Dante's best friends with Delilah's brothers and twin sister and has been forever. When Delilah tricks him into taking her v-card, he has to leave for military leave soon after. When he comes back, Delilah's avoiding him at all costs. Years later, their paths cross again and both have secrets to reveal that will stand in their way.
I liked so much about this book. It's super passionate and the sp!ce is hot and here. Delilah was hard for me to root for because while I could understand why she would be hard on herself, I didn't connect with her taking that out on Dante. I also felt like the angst was just them circling back to the same problems but overall, super hot and fast-paced story. It will definitely keep your attention!...more
