Emily Henry is an auto-buy author for me. I fell in love with her writing when I read Beach Read last year. I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was when I was sent an arc of People We Meet On Vacation to read and review. People We Meet On Vacation has one of […]

{Emily’s Review}: Before I Saw You, By Emily Houghton
Alice Gunnersley and Alfie Mack sleep just a few feet apart from one another. They talk for hours every day. And they’ve never seen each other face-to-face.
After being in terrible accidents, the two now share the same ward as long-term residents of St. Francis’s Hospital. Although they don’t get off to the best start, the close quarters (and Alfie’s persistence to befriend everyone he meets) brings them closer together. Pretty soon no one can make Alice laugh as hard as Alfie does, and Alfie feels like he’s finally found a true confidante in Alice. Between their late night talks and inside jokes, something more than friendship begins to slowly blossom between them.
But as their conditions improve and the end of their stay draws closer, Alfie and Alice are forced to decide whether it’s worth continuing a relationship with someone who’s seen all of the worst parts of you, but never seen your actual face.
A tender novel of healing and hope, Before I Saw You reminds us that connections can be found even in the most unexpected of places—and that love is almost always blind.
[Shana’s Review]: The House Swap by Jo Lovett
Ok, the premise of “The House Swap” by Jo Lovett is darling!! Think, my favorite movie, “The Holiday”, but the love interests don’t meet in their vacation locales. They are the ones doing the swapping! It would make a great movie, so someone should really get on that, just sayin’. I will start by saying: […]

[Emily’s Review]: Inevitable (Love in LA #4) by Jenna Hartley
When my dad asked me to intern for his best friend, I knew I should’ve said no.
I had my own plans for the summer.
Ones that didn’t include revisiting my childhood crush.
Sleeping with the boss?
Probably not what my dad had in mind when he asked for my help.
But from the moment I step foot in the office, I can think of little else.
I still want Jonathan.
Am I willing to gamble my relationship with my dad and my heart?

[Diane’s Review]: The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
THIS BOOK WAS A RIDE SENT STRAIGHT FROM THE HEAVENS! JLA has done it again with The Crown of Gilded Bones! From the first line we’re thrown back into the depths of Atlantia and the intensity that is Poppy’s life. After chapter one I was certain this was going to be a five star read. […]
[Gabrielle’s Review]: Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart
Can I say, this book was a love triangle of betrayals. The book was magical and Smart has an absolutely lovely way with words. Before I dive into my thoughts, one thing I want to mention is that if you have trouble following time jumps without labels, this book may be challenging at times, as […]
