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… Continue reading Written in the Stars

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… Continue reading You Had Me at Hola
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… Continue reading Spoiler Alert
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… Continue reading Something to Talk About
Boyfriend Material
Alright this was my second ALC from Libro.fm that I have gotten to. There were so many great choices that I wasn’t sure where to go next, but @diaryofaclosetreader had recently reviewed this one and spoke so highly of it. Plus, her blog post interview with the author was super fun. So I figured those… Continue reading Boyfriend Material
The Boyfriend Project
First, thanks to Libro.fm for the ALC of this contemporary romance. (If you are into audiobooks, definitely check out their librarian/influencer program!) I was really in the need for something light and sexy (contemporary romances have become some of my favorite escapist literature over the past few years) and this was sounded like it would… Continue reading The Boyfriend Project
The Right Swipe
I have had this one on my TBR as a contemporary romance to pick up next time I’m in the mood for one (I love sprinkling these in for fun between heavier reads). And then I moved it up the list a bit because I won the Kindle version in a Goodreads giveaway. Woot! The… Continue reading The Right Swipe
Get a Life, Chloe Brown
I’ve had my eye on this one since before it came out (not that long ago) because the reviews, from the start, have been so glowing. Everyone who has read it has liked it. And I’m always in for a universally popular contemporary romance. Plus, as a bonus, it also checks a box for The… Continue reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown
Royal Holiday
I read The Wedding Date last year, Guillory’s first novel, and it was so good! I enjoyed the heat and the focus on food and the story in general, especially how strong and ambitious the female lead was. But when her second book, The Proposal, came out, I wasn’t as interested (sports based romance isn’t… Continue reading Royal Holiday
Well Met
The second I hear about this one, I knew I needed to read it: a contemporary romance set at a Renaissance Faire?! YES PLEASE. It took me longer than I had hoped to get my hands on it, since for some reason not everyone was as excited about it as myself, so it was slow… Continue reading Well Met
