Krysten’s Review | The PAN by Jenny Hickman

Cue: Lost Boy by Ruth B “??? ????, ???? ???. ?’? ??? ??????? ??? ???? ???? ?? ???????.” Maybe it’s my love of Disney or my desire to escape to Neverland. Maybe it’s the intrigue of lost boys or the idea of flying into an adventure but I think the real reason I couldn’t put […]

[Shana’s Review]: Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren

Roni Loren is definitely known for her steamy romances, but in her next release, “Yes & I Love You”, she takes a dip into the rom-com world and I think she transitioned beautifully and in her own unique way! She didn’t just give us a traditional contemporary romance book about coworkers. Instead she gave us […]

Emily’s Review: Love at First by Kate Clayborn

Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw—or rather, heard—the girl of his dreams. Standing beneath an apartment building balcony, he shared a perfect moment with a lovely, warm-voiced stranger. It’s a memory that’s never faded, though he’s put so much of his past behind him. Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who’s uncannily familiar . . .

No matter how surprised Nora Clarke is by her reaction to handsome, curious Will, or the whispered pre-dawn conversations they share, she won’t let his plans ruin her quirky, close-knit building. Bound by her loyalty to her adored grandmother, she sets out to foil his efforts with a little light sabotage. But beneath the surface of their feud is an undeniable connection. A balcony, a star-crossed couple, a fateful meeting—maybe it’s the kind of story that can’t work out in the end. Or maybe, it’s the perfect second chance . . .

[Diane’s Review] Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Red, White & Royal Blue In Space!! I seriously LOVED this book! It was so cute and so sweet and filled my heart. But also, a bit like a murder mystery which I found quite fun! At some points I found myself getting frustrated with the lack of communication between Kiem and Jainan. I mean […]

[Chelsea’s Review]: The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas

This will be a spoiler-free review. I was instantly drawn to this book from the moment I read the synopsis and saw the comparisons to both Josie Silver and Jojo Moyes, who write beautifully heart-wrenching books. After reading this book, I can tell you that The Last Goodbye is just as beautifully written. I knew […]
