As 2024 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and there was never any doubt that Truly, Madly, Deeply was going to make the list. I fell in love with the cover first, and then I fell in love with the fantastic chemistry. These two were absolute fire together, and the tension was off the charts. I loved their connection, their banter, and the way they…

TOP 20 OF 2024: How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and How to End a Love Story easily makes the list. Winner of Goodreads’ Best Debut this year, Kuang’s devastating romance makes an impact. I was an ARC reader on this one and woefully unprepared for how much it was going to play with my emotions, delivering extreme tension one minute, playful banter the next, and…

TOP 20 OF 2024: The Best of All by Karla Sorensen

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and Karla Sorensen is no stranger to this list! I have read several outstanding books by the author, but The Best of All might just be my new favorite.

TOP 20 OF 2024: When Lies Unfold by RC Boldt

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and I don’t formally rank them, but… this is definitely in my top 5! It took me by surprise in the best way, drawing me in with sexual tension that snapped and crackled. I loved the evolution of the relationship and the way we saw a softer side of this antihero. It seamlessly blends heat, heart, and suspenseful…

COVER REVEAL: The Path to Loving Him by Meghan Quinn

There’s a new fling to more/single dad romance on the way from Meghan Quinn, and I’m excited! The tropes sound right up my alley, with lots of forced proximity and sexual tension, paired with a workplace setting and single dad swoon. The cover is giving off more wholesome vibes than I’d expect from the author, but I’m fully expecting this to have plenty of heat. We’ll find out more when The Path…

5-STAR REVIEW: Not in My Book by Katie Holt

There’s a little bit of enemies to lovers MAGIC in this debut romance, with feuding that’s actually flirting, banter for days, and an epistolary element that brings the swoon. It gave me major Hating Game/Spanish Love Deception vibes, which is absolutely a compliment. It’s tough to find romance that delivers those swoony feelings, but I can truly say this accomplishes that much of the time. I…

4-STAR REVIEW: All Folked Up by Penny Reid

One of those books that starts SO strong before fizzling out by the end, I found this to be wildly uneven. I really loved the chemistry and instant connection between the characters, the way the heroine has been harboring a crush for years, and that it’s the hero who ends up doing the chasing. I loved the shy and quiet hero, a man who is completely out of his element. What I didn’t love was how…

SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been a huge fan of Bonam-Young’s writing since the beginning, and this is no exception – you can feel the way these characters love each other, and the ways they’ve slowly disconnected over the years. This particular story is likely to resonate with women’s fiction fans more than romance readers, as it’s very much focused on our heroine’s personal journey of self-reflection, with…
