This book grabbed me from chapter one and held on so tight. The emotional rollercoaster that was this book. It was phenomenal and it kept you needing more. Putting this book down to do something else was next to impossible! Michaela Jean Taylor, I am in awe of you.
I really can’t tell you anything about this book but if you’re on the fence, just read chapter one. Just do it. Then make your decision.
Amazing amazing amazing I’m obsessed. Please be prepared to be sick of me because I am going to love this book forever and annoy everyone till they read it.

I read the acknowledgments and felt the love she has for this book, the fun she had, and wow. It shows. This story is phenomenal. And it just tied with another book as my top read of 2024.
The relationship between Lucy & Felix was easy yet emotional. It was kind yet steamy. It was forbidden yet absolutely meant to be. Their friendship in the slow process of falling in love was so exciting to watch come alive in the pages. They were always meant to be together.
There’s a secondary romance in this book - between Bridgette and Lucy. Bridgette is Felix’s big sister, but she’s also Lucy’s best friend. Their friendship is what we all dream of having, even when a little rocky. I found myself watching them be platonic soulmates and not even fully realize it. They knew - by the end of course it was voiced - but their relationship was a unique friendship. And one I hope to have with my friends.
The beach vibes were immaculate. I highly recommend reading this one on the beach - even more so at the sunset.
I read this book in one day. I sat down on a chair at the beach and didn’t get up till I had to go upstairs and only had a few chapters left. Then immediately went to finish it. I cannot recommend this book enough.
If you liked Every Summer After, you’ll love this one. If you were hesitant to continue with her after ESA, just know that I think this is significantly better than ESA. Give it a try, give it an open mind, fall in love with them with me ...more

They were oAs always, Laura can do no wrong. She writes the sweetest romances with the swooniest acts of love. I absolutely adored Kingston & Saylor.
They were one of my most anticipated reads because I love love love that she was romance bookstore owner! But I fell in love with them because of their friends to lovers story. Laura writes friends to lovers like she was made for it.
Learning about Saylor & Kingston’s backstory was extra special. For Kingston to realize his feelings after all this time and be able to place when it started. I mean, the man has truly been in love since he was a teenager and he didn’t even know how to express it. *cue Tori sobs here*

And a hot, filthy mouthed man on a motorcycle who also lives on a ranch?? And he’s a single dad?? I’m sorry, what more could you want?
I love their dynamic from the get go. This is a true friends to lovers at its core. They’re best friends and his son is in love with Sasha. I love that she helps him in any way she can and she genuinely wants to spend all the time in the world with his son.
It was refreshing that our MMC was a therapist so I felt like he didn’t make too many toxic decisions. I felt like he made some good decisions and I loved that his heart was always about protecting his son.
He has literally been in love with her for YEARS and I was rooting for them every second of the way and I loved it. Same for her, though. The PINING WAS ...more
This was my first try with a Daphne Elliot book and to say I was blown away is an understatement. Look, the booI absolutely ADORE this book so much!!!
This was my first try with a Daphne Elliot book and to say I was blown away is an understatement. Look, the book starts out with a grumpy nerd on his way home to Maine and runs into a MOOSE! How is that not the most charming thing. If you love small town romance and hallmark, you know this is what a cute romcom is made of.
The first book in this series follows nerdy lumberjack in a suit, Owen and ex-beauty queen, Lila, who happens to also be Owen’s brother’s ex.
Owen has to return home because his father passed away and Lila steps up to help out with handling the paperwork to sell the company he owned. Lila used to date his half brother who’s a bit of a mess so he didn’t even recognize her at first, which almost made this whole thing better because his immediate awe of her didn’t come from knowing her already.
I adore their ease of a relationship and how quickly they fit as a puzzle pieces. The small town vibes were great, the traveling they do together. They were truly an adult relationship and the lack of 3rd act break up by inserting something happening instead was *chefs kiss*
Lila has celiacs disease and struggled to eat out, find good snacks, etc. but Owen always pulls through with the BEST stuff for her. He SPENDS HOURS trying to make the perfect homemade pizza for her and I was in tears. The dream. I also have an intolerance to gluten so I was just ready to cry. What a dream man.
I’m on the edge of my seat for book 2.
You’ll like this book if you like ✨ small town romance ✨ acts of service ✨ ex’s brother ✨ grumpy sunshine

I read book one of this series and definitely fell in love with these brothers, but book one was second chance, high school sweethearts, small town so I was thinking there was no way to top that for me. But book 2 did.
A single mom trying to gain full custody of her three kids and leave her husband behind - a very powerful and controlling husband who’s in the public eye. Of course I was hooked the moment I found out that this was a single mom, but her circumstances were mind blowing to me.
This book takes you through a rollercoaster. I mean honestly I felt like I managed to read three books just in the case of this one. It was amazing and cannot recommend it enough if you want a broken MMC with all the spice and ALLLL the plot.

I didn’t have any connection to him prior to his book and now I can’t believe I ever thought that. Jude has stolen my heart and I am totally okay with it.
Jude is dealing with some pretty rough waves coming his way over the last year or so… he never feels like he’s good enough anyways. But when the one girl who has always been around confesses her feelings, he knows it’s wrong and decides to kick her to the curb. Yup… my stomach dropped when he did that.
Quinn deserved all the love especially with some of the insecurities she had, but honestly she was a warrior and a great friend and I just wanted her to find happiness. When her best friend tells her to make him grovel I found myself shouting with her and agreeing!
Despite it all, their romance unfolds so easily. Jude just needed to get his head out of his ass and admit that she was the love of his life… I guess he just needed to do it at the right time.
You’ll love this book if you love ✨ brother’s best friend ✨ age gap (18 & 27) ✨ childhood friends ✨ small town ✨ workplace

I honestly did not think I'd like getting Zayne's book if I'm being completely honest. I wasn't a fan of him in the Dark Elements, and if I'm being 100% honest I don't even think I love him now, but you know who I do love?? Trinity. She makes this story.

Waiting to read a book because I'm scared it won't be as good as the hype is or how good I think it will be. BUT I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!
Can we talk about the physical appearance of this man? Clark Kent baseball player with tattoos? I swoon. Hard. Kai is the perfect single dad. He puts his child first - always - and he's obsessed with making sure that he gives his son and his brother the best possible life.
Miller was an even better FMC. She reminded me a lot of a friend of mine and I think I adored her for that. I loved that Miller was accomplished in her life but still knew how to turn off the business side of her off when the time was right.
I loved the found family aspect of this book. It will always be an elite trope and I found myself loving every second both Kai and Miller were slowly letting themselves fall into this family. I'm used to seeing one character fit into the found family trope, but both of them was something new and made the relationship that much more worth it.
Also, are we gonna talk about Max trying to say Miller's name??? Because I WAS SOBBING.
Okay that's all. You'll love this book if you love ✨ Age gap ✨ Hate to love ✨ Close proximity ✨ Forbidden ✨ Found family ✨ Single dad x nanny ✨ Baseball player x world famous chef...more
I absolutely devoured this book! I could not get enough of Xander and Kelly. Their banter was amazing and the chemistry was off the charts.
I think KelI absolutely devoured this book! I could not get enough of Xander and Kelly. Their banter was amazing and the chemistry was off the charts.
I think Kelly is exactly what Xander needs because he absolutely needs a woman to keep him on his toes at all times otherwise he’d get bored. Same with Kelly, but she needs someone who makes her feel safe. I adored the trust they had in each other, and also!!!! We love a no third act break up where it’s unnecessary!!!!
Can we take a second to appreciate the one sentence chapters. I mean, I was laughing my butt off. ...more
