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 . . .

[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 […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

This book was such a fun read, and I fell in love with the romantic-comedy that Lina and Max embodied. Lina Santos is a wedding planner who was dumped at the altar, and she did not let it stop her. What I loved about Lina was her hardworking attitude and how she never gave up. […]

[Marie’s Review]: The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

I read The Bromance Book Club as a palate cleanser while reading some very emotionally intense stories at the same time. A professional baseball player who turns to a secret book club consisting of other alpha males who read romance novels to revive their marriages is such a fun and refreshing concept, especially among romance […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Handle With Care by Helena Hunting

I started reading Helena Hunting after this year’s Apollycon and haven’t looked back since. I adored the hell out of the previous books in this series, and this one was no different. I picked up this book late one night when I couldn’t sleep. I ended up not sleeping for quite a while longer. In […]

[Sita’s Review]: Sticking to the Script by Stella Weaver

This is it people. If Steph gave us one ‘ten star for the year’ I would cash in that chip for this book this very minute. And there’s still a quarter of 2019 to go. Full disclosure – I have a history with this story and the super gorgeous author who wrote it. In 2016 […]
