I officially entered my cowboy romance era and this was such a great book and I completely understand the hype over it.

I enjoyed the dynamic between Summer and Rhett and can we SWOON over the way Rhett gets all possessive over Summer 🔥

Let’s not forget the whipped crème scene 🥵

Both Rhett and Summer have complicated family issues and together they gave each other the  comfort they both needed.

I love the Eaton boys and would definitely recommend this book and series💗

This was the first book in the Chestnut Springs series & I can’t wait for Cade and Willa’s book!

Can I start off by saying how much I love Lola and Waffles🩷💜 They are absolutely adorable together!

Marlow was the most beautiful ray of sunshine mixed with the most colorful rainbow and I absolutely loved everything about her. Her spunk and banter with Dylan was great and made this such a great book.

Dylan was an absolute grump, albeit a sexy one!!! Witnessing him try to deny the chemistry with Marlow and then watching him thaw when he has to be around her once she becomes Lola’s nanny was so cute.

Can we talk about the post it notes and all the sweet things Dylan would leave for Marlow and just the way he took care of her?!

Ughhh Ann gave me all the feels in this book.

It was a great read and totally recommend it. Can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you Marni for giving me the opportunity to receive an ARC and as always it was amazing!

I loved Copper and Rowan’s story, it was insta-love between two rivals even if  only one of them knew about who the other was. Rowan was the competition that he never expected meeting the way he did.

Cooper Spade is everything you’d want in a book boyfriend.  He was so sweet on those 3 days they were stranded and the spice Gahhhh

The ending absolutely wrecked me, definitely was not ready for all the emotions that came with it but so well worth it.

he book was exceptionally well written and I felt like every chapter had a new element of surprise. I absolutely recommend this book!!!

This was the second book in the Spade Hotel series & I  can’t wait for Brady’s book next!

This book was a little slow for my liking but it was still a really great read. I love Micalea so anything she writes I will always pick up and read.

I absolutely loved Reid and Via’s chemistry from day one they met no matter how hard she tried fighting it.

Reid is charming, genuine, Hot AF and super mature for his age. He was unfazed by the age gap and super understanding about Via’s hesitance but still determined to win her over.

Via is new too this small town but is determined to move past all the hurt from  her divorce and make a life for herself with this new move.

The book ended leaving you wanting more of Via’s firecracker of a sister & Daddy Derrick... Can’t wait for the next one!

I was lucky to receive an ARC and I am so glad I dropped everything to read it because Kat killed it AGAIN!

I loved the connection between Winnie and Archer from the very beginning. Not to mention the chemistry between them, especially in that shower scene🥵🔥

Winnie seemed to be very quiet and always obeying but she is a feisty fireball!

Archer on the other hand seems to be a man that is always in control but I love that Winnie is the one person he seems to always lose is control with.

I was happy to get bonus glimpses of Beck, Margo, Camden & Pippa as well❤️

This was the second book in the Black Ties Billionaire series & I already can’t wait for the next one!

This was my first Ana Huang book and she did not disappoint! I heard mixed reviews on this one but i really did enjoy how well it all unfolded.

Alex Volkov is a sexy as sin billionaire with a past he cant escape from.

Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by her childhood nightmares she cant seen to remember.

Alex makes a great morally grey mmc while Ava is his ray of sunshine. She is no doubt his biggest weakness which i love especially for someone they compare to “A Robot”

Brother’s best friend is one of my favorite tropes and I have to say this one hit the mark.

This was the first book in the Twisted Series and I can’t wait to dive right into the next book!

I absolutely LOVED this book, it was by far my favorite in the series.

I couldn’t get enough of Dominic and Clara and the banter between them and Clara’s sass was everything!

I loved the character growth for both of them but I especially loved it from Clara. You saw her go from reserved to an absolute badass that wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself.

Dominic was super sweet with Clara even when he didn’t want to be and his nicknames for her had me melting.

Watching their fake relationship grow to more was perfection!

This was the second book in the series & I  can’t wait for the next one!
