[Elizabeth’s Review]: It Happened One Midnight by Saranna DeWylde

This book caught my attention because the premise felt fun and whimsical. I always am a sucker for fairytale romances, and Juniper and Tomas felt like they would be an interesting pair. At times, I did feel like the constant ploys to get Tomas and Juniper together felt ridiculous and over the top. However, there […]

[Brittany’s Review]: It Happened One Midnight by Saranna DeWylde

Fans of The Ex Hex and Payback’s a Witch won’t want to miss this delightful and entertaining novel featuring three meddlesome fairy godmothers on a mission to restore their hometown’s deep well of enchantment by conjuring true love…even in the most reluctant couples.

A PopSugar Best New Book of December

CAN YOU SKIP THE STORYBOOK BEGINNING…

Novelist Juniper Blossom has romance down to a science in her bestselling books. But she’s not about to settle for just any man—a happy ending looks different for everyone, and she needs to find the guy whose idea of forever matches her own. Try telling that to her adorable, meddling grandmothers, though. If she doesn’t find a man soon, they’re going to find one for her. Which is why Juniper has prepared for a trip home to Ever After by fibbing that her sexy, smart, sweet best friend Tomas is her fiancé! He doesn’t believe in love at all, but that doesn’t matter if they’re just pretending…

ON THE WAY TO THE HAPPY ENDING?

Divorce attorney Tomas Rivera is as proud of Juniper’s authorial success as she is, but that doesn’t mean he buys into her books’ premise. His career is proof enough that true love is the real fairy tale—and everyone knows fairy tales aren’t real. But he can never say no to gorgeous Juniper, and an “engagement” might move him one legal brief closer to partner at his old-fashioned firm. Yet playing the part suddenly starts to mean feeling it, especially when a kiss just for show turns up the heat between them. Is happily ever after possible for two people who aren’t on the same page when it comes to love?

[Skye’s Review:] Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey

As soon as I heard Tessa Bailey was writing a Christmas book, I knew I needed to get my hands on it right away. Then, I heard she was doing the sunshine and grump trope, and I knew this book was PERFECT for me.  Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow romance lovers, Window Shopping by Tessa […]

[Skye’s Review]: After Dark with the Duke (Palace of Rogues #4) by Julie Anne Long

I am relatively new to Julie Anne Long’s books, but I intend to rectify that immediately! After Dark with the Duke was such a fun, entertaining read! It was hard to put it down. I never wanted to stop reading! From the moment the two main characters meet, sparks fly. First, the sparks are due […]

[Asis’ Review] Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher

I really really liked Andie’s writing. I am 100% looking forward to reading more from her in the future. As soon as I discovered this was a modern version of How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, I KNEW this book was for me. I loved the reimagined idea of Andie’s, I loved the […]

[Emily’s Review]: Unraveling Eleven by Jerri Chisholm

In Compound Eleven, freedom from tyranny is impossible.

My name is Eve Hamilton, and I’ve managed the impossible.

I am free.

Until just like that, it is wrenched from my grasp. And this time, the corridors of the dark underground city are even more dangerous than ever before. But my brief taste of freedom has left me with something useful, something powerful, something that terrifies the leaders of Compound Eleven.

And now I have a monster inside.

One I’ll need to learn to control, and fast, or I’ll lose everything and everyone I hold dear. Starting with Wren Edelman. The one boy who has taught me that anything is possible if we stick together.

But will that matter if I become the very thing he fears the most?

The Eleven trilogy is best enjoyed in order.

Book #1 Escaping Eleven
Book #2 Unraveling Eleven

[Brittany’s Reveiw]: I Hate You More by Lucy Gilmore

Have you ever read a book that when you finish you simply can’t remember what you read? This was that book for me. I was super excited to get into this book because it said enemies-to-lovers, which is like my calling, and a dog?! It sounded like my dream book. However, it just didn’t fit […]
