Well, I didn’t think I would completely fall in love with this book like I did. I’ve been following Abby Jimenez since she released her debut novel, The Friend Zone, only a few short years ago. Now she’s on her third book and thriving with a story about young Vanessa who’s motto in life is…

Finally! I finished a book! It was the fourth book of the year and probably the last book I’ll read in January, but I’m just happy to finally have enough mind space to finish a book. I think it helped that the book was super light-hearted with a tiny bit of drama. For some reason,…

Paris is one of my all time favorite cities. I love the architecture, the endless roads you can walk down. I love being able to sit at a cafe and watch the world go by around me. I love Paris as much as the next person. Which is why I’m so excited to put a…

While I’ve loved their romantic comedies they put out every few months, I keep hoping the next one I’ll read from…

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Jasmine Guillory. I love her little stories, but I hate that they’re not twisty and complicated like some of my other favorite romances. Am I being a little bit too demanding when it comes to my romance books? Royal Holiday follows Maddie, the female MC in The Wedding Party,…

Recently, my friends and I started a new book club focused on reading romance and exploring the genre. So far, we’ve read one contemporary novel and two historical novels. We wanted to really deep dive into the genre and set aside our pre-existing opinions or notions about it. I feel like we get a lot…

The story is simple. Boy like Girl. Girl likes Boy. Girl’s dog likes Boy. Girl has a medical issue that’ll keep her from having children. Boy wants to have a “baseball team” of kids. Well, I guess the story isn’t that simple. The Friend Zone is about Kristen and Josh. Kristen is a young entrepreneur…

I absolutely loved The Kiss Quotient from Helen Hoang last year and I’m excited to see The Bride Test come out next one. I can’t wait until everyone can get their hands on this one. Let me tell you about it. The Bride Test follows Khai and Esme. When Khai’s mother travels to Vietnam to find…
