I think enamel pins are the coolest way to collect pieces of your favorite book - besides art. Unfortunately character-specific pins aren't common in romance - it makes sense, since most orders start at a minimum of 100, romance doesn't have a lot of fan art in general, and romance readers …

★★★★ Three Men and a Baby, but add in a hot nanny and a lot of... sharing. After I read Faking With Benefits the first day of my trip, I quickly downloaded two more books from Lily Gold on my phone before we lost service. I'm not a big fan of secret baby or surprise pregnancy, but while this was…

Since getting Kindle Unlimited in October 2020, I've been a huge fan. I talk about it so much and read mainly from books available on KU (since it's easier to recommend them for followers who don't want to purchase additional books outside their monthly membership), so sometimes I forge…

The Kindle is kind of a staple for readers, especially on romance bookstagram/booktok because romance readers consume more books than the average reader. Last summer I purchased a Kindle and... spoiler alert... I still reach for my phone or laptop to read on, 9 times out of 10. But I definitely see…

★★★★★ An opposites attract hockey romance between a young, starry eyed rookie and a cantankerous veteran villain.  Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved this book! It’s a third person, dual POV, MM sports romance.First of all, the characters: Lane is young and new to the minor leagues. He's so endearin…

★★★★ A marriage of convenience should be no problem for these two almost-friends who have orbited each other for years, and now have to be loveless and in lust together - right? Chloe Liese can do no wrong! What’s so amazing to me about her and her writing is that she is truly EMPATHETIC. She tries …

"Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite fairytale and my favorite trope. There's something so wonderfully addicting about all the trademarks of the trope: a beautiful heroine who's kind; a hero, overlooked because of "typical" beauty standards; the fact that their love mea…

When I was writing my about page I had to think about what really got me into reading, and a huge part of my childhood was Sweet Valley books. My local library had them all on big spinning carts, and they didn't have due dates, I guess because they were kind of flimsy cheap paperbacks? So I wou…

★★★★ Desperate writer gets The Devil Wears Prada treatment playing assistant to the boss from hell. Here's the thing: I hate when books feature a playboy hero who fucks everything that moves after he meets the heroine. And when Tali is hired as Hayes' temporary assistant, he does just that -…

Indie romance is probably 90% of what I read... maybe more. An indie book is a book published by an independent publisher - also known as any publisher outside the "Big 5" (Hachette, Harper Collins, Penguin Random House, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster). Self published books are indie boo…

I can finish a 350 page book in a few hours. I read so fast that the most liked comment on my reading wrap ups is usually "you read HOW many books?!". It isn't unusual for me because I've read this fast my whole life - I speed read and speed type (124 words per minute!). But I get…

I love recommending books on Kindle Unlimited because it feels much more accessible. Not everyone has the means to buy multiple ebooks a month, and KU is such a cost-effective way to read! Keep an eye out for the sales during Prime Day, when you can get membership for $4.99/month (normally $9.99). …

★★★★ A violinist attempts a one night stand with a tattooed, motorcycle-riding cinnamon roll but find something so much more with each other - and themselves. I felt so many emotions while reading this book. My heart hurt, I got frustrated and angry, I squealed from adorableness, and I wanted to cry…

★★★★ "One night in a snowstorm..." two people who have been hiding their crushes give in - age gap, kids, forbidden status be damned.Every time I get in the mood for a "single parent trope" I reach for this book. There's something so adorable to me about a book with a single…

Last summer I picked up a book series I had high hopes for: it was a Disney retelling centered around the villains and a BDSM club. I loved all of them, binging the six books in a few days. I went on to rave about them on TikTok, and my video got over a million views. This series has a special plac…

★★★★★ Picture this: a Victorian-era lady-gang hell bent on taking down awful men and looking good doing it... with a love story between a scandalous lady and a loyal and protective hero who proves some men deserve rights. I have wanted a Sesily/Caleb story SINCE Day of the Duchess. Remember when the…
