As an avid lover of mafia romance and Rom Coms, I was so excited for this book. It didn’t disappoint in the least! The innocent math teacher and the tough Godmother was such a breath of fresh air. The book made me blush, giggle and even gasp. I didn’t expect the action scenes to be such nail biters but, it really brought the book to the next level for me. I loved the slow and subtle way that Nate and Vanessa fell in love, it made it feel so natural for even the reader on the outside looking in. Another big bonus for this story was the family and other side characters for me. They truly added to the story and didn’t feel like just a filler. I can’t wait to see where she takes this series because I already know I’ll be eating it up!

I stumbled upon a teaser of EP MONTHS ago but there was something about the idea and tropes of this story that had me hooked. This book not only lived up to to the hype but it exceeded it. Evelyn not only created a swoon worthy and spicy read, she created the most real characters I have ever read. Not only did I feel like I knew these people but I saw a little bit of myself and my own friend group in them too. this book had me cheering, squealing, laughing, crying and screaming. Even as I read it, I knew this would not just be a favorite of mine but it will be a comfort read. I could go on and on and on about everything i loved. No notes. Nothing but praise from me because Evelyn Leigh is the best girl for writing this. Everyone deserves a love like Greyson and Selah. On our best and even more on our worst days

I really don’t know how to even begin this review because this book hit every mark for me. I’m still wow’d by the adventure Analee took us on. She gave us a TRUE ride or die romance. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was wrong and I loved it. Every situation brought these two together. Analee didn’t just tell us they were healing each other, she showed us so mother-fluffing beautifully! I laughed, I cried, I gasped so loudly I almost choked. I cannot give this book enough stars, seriously. This is everything you’d want in a Motorcycle Club romance and so much more.
A Vow for the Vamp by Settle Myer
fast-paced
4.0
This was such a fun read! I don’t usually read supernatural books but there was just something about this one that drew me in. Kind of like the two main characters actually! Theo was such a good puppy (iykyk) but truly it was fun (and hot) to watch two characters who were used to needing to be in control switch back and forth. I found myself laughing out loud at these two but also loving their really vulnerable moments. I don’t know if a soulmate will even suffice anymore, it’s blood mates or nothing! This definitely won’t be my last read of Settle’s!
At the Waterfall: A forced proximity romance. by SMARDLINE SUFRA
4.0
As a romance reader, I tend to read a lot of the same tropes and thought I had seen it all (or at least most of it), boy, was I wrong. The flashback scenes of the past and the Forrests POV really made this love story even more magical than it was already on its own. Not only will this book give you ALL THE BUTTERFLIES but it will also have you biting your lip every time Jake shows her why he’s so good with the ladies. I loves how Mia was inexperienced but was never super annoying about it. She stood up for what she deserved and didn’t take anything less. I was so here for it. If you’re looking for a sweet read where people help each other heal from their grief, look no further.
Hockey Boy by Brittanée Nicole
4.0
Sometimes when you anticipate a book so much it doesn’t end up living up to the hype. That is NOT an issue with Hockey Boy. Aiden and Lennox are EVERYTHING. They are hilarious, naughty and vulnerable for each other in the way that you can only be with your soulmates. This book was filled with songs, love, SPIIICE and legendary Langfield group chats. Brittanèe gave us everything we thought she would and so much more. I didn’t think I was going to open this book up and find myself healing but when you read about someone struggling and having an army behind them you can’t help but have hope for your own self too. As always, I can’t freaking wait to see where Brittanèe takes us next.
