I came across THE SIMPLE WILD on Bookstagram in 2018. But when I read it I fell heads over heels in love with Calla and Jonah. And since then they have become one of my all time favorite contemporary romance couples and it's a book/series I recommend to everyone who will listen to me.... Read More
The Long Game by Rachel Reid | BOOK REVIEW | (Game Changers #6)
When I read Shane and Ilja's rather unconventional love-story in HEATED RIVALRY (one of the best enemies to lovers romances I ever read) I became obsessed with them. They were such interesting individuals - strong, confident and equally successful - and their magnetic connection was something that stole my breath and impossible to forget.... Read More
The Unknown Beloved by Amy Harmon | BOOK REVIEW
I have read and enjoyed Amy Harmon's book ever since I came across MAKING FACES in 2014 - one of the most beautiful YA books to date. Since then I watched her grow into an amazing author. Her books are often based on true events, or actual people and because of it they are vibrant beyond words.... Read More
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez | BOOK REVIEW
I'm not usually a fan of age gap, but I thought the author managed it well. Because in the end the almost 10 year difference between the couple didn't feel like a hurdle. Alexis is a successful city ER physician, and Daniel a skilled carpenter from a small town. It doesn't sound like a relationship between those two should work, but Daniel gets Alexis in such a way that small town suddenly feels more like home than Alexis's actual home. And I loved that for her!!!... Read More
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Although I don't watch The Bachelor I enjoy reading novels that focus on dating shows, like ONE TO WATCH and ROYALLY MATCHED. The drama, and the behind the scenes moments are what makes these books so entertaining. Also, I love it when an author surprises me, especially if I thought I had the story all figured out. I was very pleased with the last third of the book.... Read More
Crowbones by Anne Bishop | BOOK REVIEW | (The World of the Others, #3; The Others, #8)
Anne Bishop has been a favourite author for a few years now. If I remember correctly I found her when I was looking for new Urban Fantasy authors to read, and I stumbled over her THE OTHERS series, starting with Written in Red. Not surprisingly I was a goner after I met Meg and Simon and the crew at Lakeside. And of course I was crushed when the author finished writing about Lakeside, and I thought I would never get to come back to this world. Fortunately for me the author started writing other novels about the same world.... Read More
Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter | BOOK REVIEW
I really enjoyed the author's debut novel BETTER THAN THE MOVIES earlier this year and was excited to find out that she has another one in the works. Being able to read it early was a true privilege and I'm as always grateful for the opportunity.... Read More

The Damaged by Tijan | BOOK REVIEW | (The Insiders Trilogy #2)
I have been a big fan of Tijan's for many years now. Some of her books are even on my 'what to read when in a book reading slump' list. Most of her books are addictive, in one way or the other, and some are so over the top dramatic that they need their own category. But her books are ALWAYS on the top of my tbr.... Read More
Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
The book was a wonderful blend of women's fiction and romance. Although the story is about the heroine's journey of healing after losing a loved one, it's also about a romance that delivered in every aspect. The love story between Jo and Alex was well done, fleshed out to the point that their attraction was believable and felt authentic. The romantic side of the story is rather slow burn and closed door, but the speed of Jo and Alex's relationship felt realistic and most of all fit the story.... Read More
Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead by Elle Cosimano | BOOK REVIEW | (Finlay Donovan #2)
Early last year I got my hands on FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT and devoured it. I had such a grand time that I couldn't wait to get my fingers on the sequel.... Read More
Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly | BOOK REVIEW
The book had HEART, messy and realistic characters, and the most likeable couple. Also, I can't get enough of books centered around cooking shows, I already read this year Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake as well as Battle Royal and this topic just doesn't get old. I love them. Although, the books including LOVE & OTHER DISASTERS never go far enough in regards to the contest if you ask me - I always need MORE - but that just means I have to finally catch up with TGBBO. ...

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover | BOOK REVIEW
I'm honest here, Colleen Hoover books were never on my radar until REGRETTING YOU. I got curious about all the hype around her name and boy was I glad I gave her books a chance, because REGRETTING YOU became my last 5 star read of 2019 and an instant re-read. And I found a new auto-buy author!!!... Read More
If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales | BOOK REVIEW | A YA MM ROMANCE
I just recently read my first book by Sophie Gonzales, PERFECT ON PAPER and really enjoyed it. Her writing and humor is right up my alley and I can only recommend the book. So, when I realized that she wrote a MM YA romance with another author I had to pick it up.... Read More
Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews | BOOK REVIEW
I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm a HUGE fan of Ilona Andrews, their books are like comfort food for the soul. I re-read them constantly, and get the biggest book hangovers from my binge reads. I definitely wish they would write faster.... Read More
Guild Boss by Jayne Castle | BOOK REVIEW | Ghost Hunters #14
Years ago I devoured all things Jayne Castle during one of my biggest PNR phases. I read every paranormal romance I could get my hands on. I'm reading less PNR nowadays, but when I saw this new releases I was so excited about it. And I'm happy to report that GUILD BOSS was just what I needed.... Read More

Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh | BOOK REVIEW | (Guild Hunter #14)
It's no secret that I love this series. I love it even more than the PSY/Changeling one. It's also no surprise that I've been rooting for llium and Aodhan ever since the very first sign that there could be something more. I'm also a huge fan of MM ROMANCE, so this book is a trifecta for me.... Read More
Heard It in a Love Song by Tracey Garvis Graves | BOOK REVIEW
The book is an enjoyable and easy read with a wonderful friends to lovers love story. And slow burn romance fans rejoice, this book is for you. Also, lately I'm really into romance books about musicians. Singing and songwriting is such a passionate talent and I loved how deeply Layla cared about her music. Moreover I really liked the idea of a music teacher getting back into the music business.... Read More
The Heart Principle Helen Hoang | BOOK REVIEW
I've been waiting for this book for a long time. I think we all did. And I must admit that I didn't remember much of what happened in the past, and felt a bit out of the loop in regards to Quan's history. But that didn't take away from how much I loved Quan as a hero. He was such a dreamy kind of guy. Confident yet vulnerable. Funny but also incredibly supportive and understanding. Honestly, he had it all.... Read More
Blind Tiger by Sandra Brown | BOOK REVIEW
I have been reading and enjoying Sandra Brown books for many years now. And over the years I come to expect a certain story. Her novels are always entertaining, have great romantic suspense, and a good amount of sexual tension between the couples.... Read More
Never Saw You Coming by Erin Hahn | YOUNG ADULT BOOK REVIEW & LETTER FROM AUTHOR
I must say, I didn't expect the book to go the direction it did. I'm not religious, although I grew up in the evangelical, protestant, Lutheran church in Europe. I would say that our church is one of the most liberal of all. And what is being described in this book is something I can not even wrap my mind around, and I can see that there will be some readers who will feel very different about this book.... Read More
Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston | BOOK REVIEW | Honey Badger Chronicles, #4
This book came at a time when I needed something fun and entertaining and it delivered! I knew exactly what I was getting with this book. Lots of action, crazy shapeshifter, characters galore and apparently also a slow burn romance.... Read More
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood | BOOK REVIEW | FIVE STARS
WOW, what a book!!!! It was amazing, a brilliant debut novel and one of the BEST romances I read in a very long time. And one of my rare FIVE STAR BOOKS of 2021. Also I rarely have felt so protective of characters as I do about Olive and Adam. I love them to pieces. And hope you'll love them too.... Read More
Love Next Door by Helena Hunting | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW | Lakeside #1
LOVE NEXT DOOR was a cute small town romance. With a little bit of slow burn, a little bit of enemies to lovers, and a whole lot of family drama.... Read More
Battle Royal by Lucy Parker | BOOK REVIEW | (Palace Insiders #1)
I'm a big fan of THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF, and lately I've been reading more and more novels that focus on baking shows - like Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake - and I'm loving it.... Read More
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
This is going to be a longer intro, because I actually DNFed this book when I got it as an ARC at the beginning of the year. I even told myself that I was done with this author since I didn't see the hype about BEACH READ either. But then my old library hold came in and since I had nothing else to listen to, I gave it a go.... Read More
Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby | THRILLER AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I read BLACKTOP WASTELAND last year, the author's debut novel, and I remember thinking that the book needed to be turned into a movie. And now, after finishing up Razorblade Tears, I'm feeling the same.... Read More
It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
The reason why I picked up this book was without a doubt the comparison to Alexa from Schitt’s Creek. The novel and plot itself has nothing to do with Schitt’s Creek, but Piper does certainly have some similarities with Alexa - and I loved it!!... Read More
Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW | Simon Snow #3
What can I say I’m in love with this series. I listened to the audiobook of Carry On in February of 2018 and was immediately in love with Simon and Baz, and also Penelope. Loved the narration, the voices, and the friendships.... Read More
