Act Your Age, Eve Brown

It took be awhile to pick up Dani Brown after reading Chloe Brown, but the momentum after Dani made me ready for Eve Brown as soon as I could get my hands on it. So here we are, I finished up this sister romance series right quick and I loved it and also don’t want…

Dial A for Aunties

This was a book club choice for my long-distance book club! We wanted to pick an AAPI author for AAPI Heritage Month, but as life happens, we (alright, it was definitely on me) ended up not actually being able to finish in time to discuss it actually during May… However, I am so glad this…

Take a Hint, Dani Brown

Alright, I read Get a Life, Chloe Brown last year (ish) and fell just as much in love with Hibbert’s writing as it seems the whole world has. It’s so freaking smart and sarcastic, which is my personal favorite combination for communication. Plus, it was just really refreshing, as far a diversity of romance leads…

Honey Girl

Well, if the simply stunning cover doesn’t make you want to pick this one up and see what it’s all about, I don’t know what to tell you, because damn *heart eyes.* But then there’s the premise: a recently graduated PhD in astronomy goes on a girls trip to Vegas to celebrate and gets married…

A Princess in Theory

The other day I watched What A Girl Wants, twice in a row (I will not apologize for this guilty pleasure). And then The Princess Diaries. So, naturally, I was in a royal sort of mood. And this romance, which has been on my TBR pile for a while, waiting for its time, felt like…

The Worst Best Man

I have been working through the Aspen Words 2021 longlist over the past 2 months and, while I’ve been loving the books, they are all (by definition due to the prize’s goal in recognizing authors/fiction about key social issues) a bit heavy and intense. So, I needed something a little lighter mixed in. Cue the…

Written in the Stars

This is a romance that was on my TBR for quite a while before its pub date – I was the first on hold for it at the library after it was purchased. Honestly, there was very little about this fake-dating setup, f/f relationship, astrology-themed story with a swoon-worthy cover design that didn’t call out…

You Had Me at Hola

Ok but just look at that cover!!!! That alone would have gotten me to glance twice at this book. But I also had this one at the top of my "contemporary romance TBR backburner" list, that I have constantly in mind, since I need to be ready when the mood hits! Which, it seems, is…

Spoiler Alert

I was in a romance mood. You all know I get that way periodically and it’s been awhile since my last one. Plus, the Holiday Season kinda gets me like that. I came across this one while I was checking it in at the library, remembered that @diaryofaclosetreader said it was super sweet and fun…

Something to Talk About

I was looking for a lighter, fun contemporary romance type thing. I feel like I have been reading less/slower over the last few weeks, work has been so busy (like, SO busy) and it's getting colder (which never is great for my mental state) and just really, I needed a literary pick-me-up. This f/f romance…
