Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren
3.5
I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A modern tangled-inspired rom-com? Sign me up!
I enjoyed this book a ton, Ren (Rapunzel) was the epitome of sunshine. Edward (Fitz) was the perfect Eugene (Flynn). I wish the book had gone more into their happily ever after though! I would have loved to see them a few years down the road.
Ren grew up in Idaho, isolated from everything but her parents and their farm animals. Never having gone to school, at the age of 22 she convinces her parents to allow her to go to college. During the week she spends her time at school, but every Friday her parents are there to pick her up. As Ren learns more about the “outside” world, she begins to wonder if her parents were wrong about everything…

This is definitely my favorite Falon Ballard book!
Two exes, one bed. What could go wrong?
Jessica once thought she had her happily ever after with Nick, that is, until he broke her heart just days after Christmas. Jessica and Nick are both romance authors for the same publication, if you can call Nick’s sad endings romance… When Jess gets asked to present an award to Nick for romance author of the year she begrudgingly accepts for the sake of her career.
After a few mix ups and a snow storm, Jess gets stuck sharing a room with her ex. Over the course of a few days, the two begin to pen a romance novel… TOGETHER.
Read if you like:
• second chance romance
• only one bed trope
• romance writers
• dual POV

Mistlefoe by Mari Loyal

Another book by Mari Loyal that I devoured! I absolutely adored the main characters. This was a fun Christmas rom-com with great banter and tension between office rivals to lovers.
There were parts that were slightly cheesy, but I still loved this one!
Two rival coworkers are forced to work together for this year’s company holiday party. They each get $10,000, but there’s one caveat. Only one of them will get a promotion at the end of this. As the Sierra and Conor begin to work together, they begin to realize maybe they don’t actually hate each other…

An Offer From A Gentleman: The 2nd Epilogue by Julia Quinn
3.0
So happy for Posy— this was cute but again wish it was more specific to the main couple! Mild spoilers about other characters

Honestly, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Benedict’s during this one. I did love the Cinderella vibes I got from this book though and I really enjoy this world!
Romancing Mister Bridgerton: The 2nd Epilogue by Julia Quinn
3.0
I wish we had gotten a different scene, but I still enjoyed this one! The way in which Eloise finds out about Lady Whistledown is pretty anticlimactic, and Eloise seems so unlike herself. But maybe I’m missing something that is explained in her book that would explain the change.
I would have liked to see Polin further into the future for this epilogue

POLIN !!!
Penelope may be my favorite character in this series. She’s so witty. I wasn’t the biggest fan of how Colin’s character seemed to do a 180– he had been such a fun and free character in the prior books, but seemed to be grumpy like his brothers for most of this book. Nonetheless, I still loved this book and seeing them together

The Viscount Who Loved Me: The 2nd Epilogue by Julia Quinn
3.0
Average epilogue— I loved seeing Anthony and Kate in the future, but it was mainly focused on Pall Mall and their feuding 😂 Fun little epilogue but didn’t add much to their story
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
5.0
I absolutely adored this book! It was interesting to see the major changes they made to Kate and Anthony’s story in the Bridgerton show! I liked seeing their friendship develop more in the book and of course their banter!

Wild Love by Rebecca Jenshak

This may have been my favorite of the series. I love friends to lovers so much. I read the wildcats series last year and was so happy when I realized Dakota and Maverick were from that series too
