[Skye’s Review:] Love & Olives (Love and Gelato #3) by Jenna Evans Welch

I have been a fan of Jenna Evans Welch’s books since I read her debut, Love & Gelato. I absolutely adore that book and her second book, Love & Luck. So, it should come as no surprise that I feel the exact same way about Love & Olives. Jenna Evans Welch knows how to write […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Be With Me by J. Lynn

Three words: addicting, dramatic, emotional. Be With Me is the second installment in Jen’s Wait for Me series, following a character we met in the first book, Cam’s younger sister Teresa. While this one can be read as a standalone, it will make much more sense if you read Wait for Me first. And you’d […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

This book brought the drama and steamy romance on a level that I wish more books did, and I was completely about it. Jasmine Lin Rodriguez is reeling from a messy break up that has gone public, putting her in a spotlight she desperately does not need. Gorgeous telenovela star Ashton Suárez fears his acting […]
