• Michael Bennet’s Carved in Blood is An Addictive 5 Star Read

  The Hana Westerman Thriller series continues to deliver and Carved in Blood may just be my favourite! Following the stellar beginnings in Better the Blood and the tense action of Return to Blood, Carved in Blood goes for the jugular and presents a compelling, addictive, engrossing read that you will not be able to let…

  Well folks, I’v done it. The Knockemout series by Lucy Score is officially done and dusted, Things We Left Behind has been absorbed cover-to-cover, and while I am putting the books down for now the characters wil be sticking with me for a while.

• Sweet Pregnancy Romance in Hannah Bonam-Young’s Out on a Limb

  Another first has been ticked off – romance with a pregnancy at the core of the story. I am not usually a pregnancy trope in romance fan, or any genre for that matter, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Hannah Bonam-Young’s Out on a Limb. I have been pleasantly surprised by…

• The Perfect Small Town Romance is Emily Henry’s Funny Story

  Funny Story by Emily Henry meets my approval, in case anyone was waiting for me to say it. The short of it – it’s great, you’ll love it. The long of it, well, it’s a good thing I have a whole review to fit it all in because there are so many things I love…

• Insightful Self-Discovery Romance in Hannah Bonam-Young’s Out of the Woods

  I love a good romance that can touch the reader even when the circumstances are not the same. What’s more, I love a good romance that showcases the good, the bad, and the ugly of relationships, especially marriage. Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young does just that, and even if I did read this…

• Nerds in Love in Shameez Patel’s Playing Flirty

  It’s about time that I picked up a romance featuring board game rivals who tread the line of love and hate and Shameez Patel’s Playing Flirty is all that and more. We have a best friend’s brother trope, as well as the sunshine-grumpy trope to an extent, but overall it is just too adorable and…

• Horrifying Literary Fiction in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian

  Han Kang’s literary prowess has been a point of interest of mine for the last few months, with Humans Acts and The White Book coming across my recent reads and now The Vegetarian making it to the list. The Vegetarian, like her other works, is not a light-hearted story, nor is it a simple read.…

• Mile High by Liz Tomforde Has My Heart Taking Off

  It’s official – I’m on the Windy City Series bandwagon. Liz Tomforde’s Mile High is the first in the series, but I just know I am going to be inhaling the rest of these sports romances like nobody’s business. With sports fiction and adult romance blended into this long yet not long enough novel, what…

• The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang – Spicy, Sweet, and Something Special

  I’m back on the romance grind, this time with Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient. I don’t know what it is about the romances I’ve picked up recently, but there has been a bit of everything and the setting, themes, and relationships have been a mixed bag. It’s made it quite fun to get through them,…

• I Will Never Get Over Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over

  I think the popular romance books might have me in their clutches. First, I went through the Ali Hazelwood books, then I finally started the Windy City series, and now Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over has left me with a romance book hangover. I don’t even mind! It is certainly worthy of its…
