💬 What was your last 5-star read? 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘥. 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘺𝘦𝘳. Well, it appears I've found myself a new auto-buy author! I haven't been able to read fantasy in months... I started this one and was shocked to see I couldn't put it down! This is easily one of my favorite reads so far this year. This story had everything I love: adventure, quirky banter, and a slow-burn relationship that I was 100% on board with! I truly loved everything about this story, and Elise's writing style was such an added bonus. There isn't a single thing I would change about this story. Though this cover is what first caught my eye, the story is just as gorgeous. "Cinderella meets The Cruel Prince" is the perfect way to describe this story. If you're at all intrigued by my review (albeit vague, totally on purpose), please do yourself a favor and read this one! This is book 2 in the Married to Magic series, but all books in the series can be read as standalones. You can find the purchase link in my bio! Thank you to @elise.kova & @bookofmatchesmedia for gifting me this copy! . . . h a s h t a g s : #lilbookrec #lilbookreview #EliseKova #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADealWithTheElfKing #MarriedToMagic #BOMMTours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BOMMARCTour #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookblogger #bookreview #reviewers #lovebeige #bookaholic #thecreative #mycozyretreat #livethelittlethings #gorgeouscovers #bookreviewersofinstagram #goodreads #betweencozymoments #booktography #hyggebookstyle #thepursuitofcosiness #readandchill (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxa-VhnP9U/?utm_medium=tumblr

💬 If you could shape-shift into any animal, which would you choose? [author collab: @anndentonauthor with #BookstaTours] I’ve always thought shape-shifting was super interesting, but shape-shifting in an omegaverse was a whole new level of fun! Defiant by @anndentonauthor was a ride for sure! This mfm hot romance was packed full of steam, my friends!! It started off with an action-packed chase… then straight to the sexy scenes that never let up. This book was much heavier on romance than plot, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! This book does contain TW, so be sure to check the author’s notes before diving in. ✨ G I V E A W A Y ✨ A book box (US) or Gift Card for both books (international)!

[author collab] 💬 If you were to give a brand new dating couple a bit of relationship advice, what would you tell them? Today I’ve teamed up with Guy Blaise (@the_french_perspective) to share his newest book, Love Like the French, with you! This was such a interesting read! It’s written as a series of letters that were sent to Guy asking for relationship advice, ranging from whether or not to leave a troubled relationship, down to intimate questions in the bedroom, and Guy’s responses to those questions. He shares a lot of his own experiences, including serious topics like racism and pushing relationship boundaries. I didn’t realize prior to reading this book how different relationships were viewed in France versus here in the US. This is definitely a book I’d recommend checking out if you’re into non-fiction. There were quite a few times that I laughed out loud too. I really enjoyed Guy’s view on a lot of aspects of love, and I even learned a thing or two that I will use going forward in my own relationship. 💕 . . . h a s h t a g s : #lovelikethefrench #bookstatours #bookstatoursfrench #lilbookrec #lilbookreview #bookstagram #bookish #inspiremyinstagram #bookaholic #bookcommunity #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookphotographer #momentsofmine #totalbooknerd #mybookfeatures #bibliophile #bibliofeature #bookster #readersofinsta #igreads #goodreads #nonfictionbooks #relationshipbooks #booknookstagram #bookeasthetic #bookgram #bedroomdecor #bedsidetable (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSow_XLHmqH/?utm_medium=tumblr

💬 Have you ever had an office romance? . . Today I finished The Boyfriend Project by @farrahrochon and it was so fun! I’m always down for a good office romance story. I really enjoyed these characters and how passionate they were, especially when it came to their jobs. I also liked the whole premise of three girls bonding over the conduct of a loser guy. GO LADIES! I’m so excited for more from these characters. I love companion novels! . Thank you to @librofm for gifting me the audiobook copy! I highly recommend going the audio route with this one. The narrator was FANTASTIC and listening made the story even more fun for me. If you’re a romance fan, be sure to add this one to your TBR! . Rating: ✩✩✩✩ . .

After reading Four Letter Word I said Wild and Trouble were my favorite. Then I read Hit the Spot and declared Loser and Legs were my favorite. Now here I am, having just finished Bad for You, and all I have to say is Shay and Stitch are LIFE!!!!! I didn't think anything could top the first two books in this series for me, but this one just accomplished that feat. I'm blown away. Gone. Consider me beat. This couple is everything. . Shay and Stitch have that kind of chemistry we can only dream about. Despite being complete opposites, these two are so perfect for each other. Poor Stitch has had a difficult past, yet has come such a long way to being a better person. I just couldn't help but fall hard for this sexy chef. Shay was quirky and funny and just such a little spitfire! I absolutely adored her and would give anything to know her in person. This hairstylist has a heart of gold and a personality to match it. I couldn't help but fall HARD for these two, both separately and together. . If you haven't read J. Daniels' yet, please do yourself a favor and remedy that asap. Though these books don't have to be read in order (they are standalone companion novels) I highly suggest you do read them in order since you meet the characters early-on. Plus they're all amazing. This has quickly become one of my favorite series EVER! . ALL THE STARS!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ________________________________________________________ #lilbookreview #lilbookrec #mustread #badforyou #hitthespot #fourletterword #jdaniels #romance #book #bookreview #bookstagram #bookphotograph #seekthesimplicity #lifestylephotography #allthebooks #readersofinstagram #instabook #igreads #booknerd #booklove #postitfortheaesthetic #thehappynow #totalbooknerd @authorjdaniels

I finished reading A Map for Wrecked Girls by Jessica Taylor the other day. I did enjoy it quite a bit, though I had a few issues with it. Mainly with the characters themselves. I never really connected with any of them on a substantial level. I did enjoy the story quite a bit though. And even though the beginning was on the slower side, I thought the rest of the story had a great pace and kept me entertained til the end. It's a fun end-of-summer read for sure. My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . (Thank you to @penguinteen for sending me this copy! ✨) . 💬Have you read this one? Is it on your TBR? ________________________________________________________ 📖Synopsis: We sat at the edge of the ocean—my sister Henri and I—inches apart but not touching at all. We'd been so sure someone would find us by now. Emma had always orbited Henri, her fierce, magnetic queen bee of an older sister, and the two had always been best friends. Until something happened that wrecked them. I'd trusted Henri more than I'd trusted myself. Wherever she told me to go, I'd follow. Then the unthinkable occurs—a watery nightmare off the dazzling coast. The girls wash up on shore, stranded. Their only companion is Alex, a troubled boy agonizing over his own secrets. Trapped in this gorgeous hell, Emma and Alex fall together as Emma and Henri fall catastrophically apart. For the first time, I was afraid we'd die on this shore. To find their way home, the sisters must find their way back to each other. But there’s no map for this—or anything. Can they survive the unearthing of the past and the upheaval of the present? ________________________________________________________ #amapforwreckedgirls #jessicataylor #bookreview #yalit #ya #ireadya #book #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksandcandles #lilbookreview

My Week With the Bad Boy by Brooke Cumberland & Lyra Parish

Synopsis:

Never trust a man who answers the front door wearing nothing more than a pair of low-cut jeans and a panty-melting smirk. That should’ve been my first sign. I write about guys just like him for a living—sexy and charming, yet reluctant to get into a serious relationship. His body screams sex appeal, but his condescending personality makes him a classic fuckboy. And I want nothing to do with that. Writing romance novels comes with its perks—traveling, meeting new people, creating characters from the voices in my head—but Ethan Rochester enters my life and rearranges all my preconceived notions about writing what inspires you. One week is all it took. One week to realize that not everything is as it seems. One week with the bad boy, and I wanted more.

MY THOUGHTS:

When Vada, a fellow booknerd and romance novelist, decides she needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago in hopes of finding inspiration to finish her latest novel, she rents a quiet room in Charleston where she's hoping to have a ton of peace a quiet. But what she didn't expect was the gorgeous, half-naked man that answers the door. She's renting from one of the sexiest men alive, and instantly feels a draw to him. He has bad boy written all over him, and Vada can't help but want to learn more. One week. One week is all these two spend together, but in that week they are drawn to each other like magnets. Two broken souls, each with their own baggage, looking for a better tomorrow. You can expect a lot of sexy times that will make you blush, cute side characters that add a lot to the story, and even a laugh here and there. If you're the type of reader who loves instant chemistry, love at first sight, and the unstoppable draw true love can bring on, then you'll definitely want to check out this one. I have a feeling the hopeless romantic readers out there will eat this story up! (Thank you to Brooke Cumberland & Lyra Parish for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

Needing Him by Kennedy Fox

NEEDING HIM Bishop Brothers Book 2 Author: Kennedy Fox Genre: Contemporary Romance Trope: Enemies-to-Lovers Doctor Romance

Synopsis:

Evan Bishop is your typical hotshot doctor.  Hardass, brooding, and all business.  Instead of working on the family ranch, Evan broke the mold and became an ER doctor.  He’s good with his hands—in more ways than one—smart as a whip and is the definition of God’s gift to women. Being a gentleman is in his Southern roots, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t flawed. Exclusive dating has never been a top priority and his tragic past makes him stay at arm’s length. Deciding to let loose for a wild night, he takes a page from the Bishop brother’s relationship book and hooks up with a mysterious girl he’ll never have to see again, which is perfect for this self-proclaimed bachelor.  Emily Bell is a city girl through and through but is determined to get away from her family and past. All she wants is a fresh start and to make a name for herself in the medical field. No random hookups and no dating coworkers—that’s her new motto after being burned time and again. When she agrees to attend a wedding as a plus-one, she’s soon ditched and left to drink solo—but not for long. Mr. Suit is the ultimate temptation with his Southern charm, messy blond hair, and irresistible sex appeal. Everything about him screams bad news, but he makes her reconsider her rules just for one night.  After all, some rules are made to be broken. They want the same thing—one night of passion then they’ll go their separate ways. No cuddling afterward. No next day phone calls. No awkward goodbyes. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll be obvious when they report to work on Monday morning.  *A contemporary romance with a little Southern drama. This is book 2 in the Bishop Brothers series. Each book features a different brother and can be read as a complete standalone. HEA guaranteed!* Not suitable for readers under 18 due to adult language and sexual content.

MY THOUGHTS:

These Bishop Boys!!!!  I can’t get enough.  When I found out Kennedy Fox was going to give these hot boys their own books, I was ecstatic!  And I’m happy to say they’ve kept their end of the bargain.  These guys are incredible!

Evan is a smoking hot doctor that hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to romance.  After having his heart broken, he’s decided to stick to focusing on his job alone, not letting his feelings come into play at all.  At all.  That is, until he runs into Emily and all bets are off

The chemistry between these two is smoking hot!!  I loved seeing their forbidden romance struggle so much.  It’s almost impossible to deny their feelings for each other, even when they both know it’s their own option.

Trust me when I say you want to read this book!!  And not just this book... these Bishop boys are incredible, and you won’t want to miss getting to know them.  I highly recommend this series to any romance reader.  Especially those that enjoy a little southern charm, drama, and smoking hot cowboys.

MY RATING:  ★★★★ 1/2

💬 What was your last five-star read? . My last 5-star read was #DowntoDeep by @authorjdaniels!! This book, you guys!! It encompassed so many tropes that I love, including slow-burn romance, single parents, and opposites attract! I loved the connection between, not only Nathan and Jenna, but between each of them and the children as well. I loved seeing their relationship grow, and how they learned, with the help of each other, how to be the people they ultimately wanted to be and achieve their dream of being part of a family. Such a sweet and fun story from one of my favorite romance authors. J. Daniels is amazing, and I highly recommend her books. 🖤 . This gorgeous book releases today, so be sure to grab your copy ASAP!

💬 What was the last book you read this month? . I just finished listening to the audiobook of From Twinkle, With Love by @sandhyamenonbooks and it was so cute! I didn’t love it as much as When Dimple Met Rishi, but it was still a solid read. It reads quite a bit younger than Dimple, which is probably why I didn’t prefer it. But it was full of cuteness and fluff, and it was definitely a fun read. If you enjoy adorable YA stories about finding love, navigating friendships, and doing what’s right in tough situations, give this one a read! 🤓🖤📖 . This brought my February reading total to seven. How many books did you read this month? . 📖Books read in February: • The Birthday List by Devney Perry - ★★★★½ • A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer - ★★★★★ • The Leading Edge of Now by Marci Lyn Curtis - ★★★★ • Tragic by Devney Perry - ★★★★★ • Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M.

I just finished reading Hidden Pieces by @pstokesbooks and I really enjoyed it! I don’t find many YA mysteries that really keep me guessing until the end.
