[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 […]

[Lisa’s Review]: A Shadow in the Ember (Flesh and Fire #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Before there was our stunning, red-headed, murderous little creature, Prince McSexy, Miss Willa’s Diary, and the upcoming War of Two Queens – the world we’ve come to know and love in Jen’s absolutely magnificent and widely popular Blood and Ash series was ruled by higher beings. Primals. Gods. Taking you back to that time, A […]

[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?

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Like Lovers Do (Girls Trip #2) by Tracey Livesay

I had so much fun reading this book! From the book description, I knew I was going to fall in love with the friends to lovers trope. In meeting Nic and Ben and getting a feel of their chemistry and dynamic, I also knew that I was going to enjoy reading this book and was […]

[Asis’ Review] Frost and Flame by Gena Showalter

I think the idea of this story was really interesting and exciting, but it could’ve been executed a lot better. I loved the prologue. It made me feel everything, I connected with the characters incredibly well and it presented the villain perfectly. But after that, it felt like there was a lot of unnecessary content… […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

Now, can I just say. . . . . This book, I can’t even begin to describe in the appropriate words how much I LOVED this entire narrative and plot and characters and everything. Just, everything. One word does come to mind though and that is: GRAY Let me explain. The world or storytelling isn’t […]
