pickOnly 2 books for #RomanceRoundup this month. I bailed on a few that aren‘t worth mentioning.
The Earl is a delightfully different take on m/m romance & a sweet, slow burn, low spice story.
Unsanctioned Play is second in a series and while it follows a new couple, the couple from the first book are a significant presence. I enjoyed it more than book one.

Love‘s Labours - 3 stories following the same couple as they perform in summer stock over 3 seasons. I enjoyed it a lot.
Love of the Game & Reckless on Ice - hockey romances that were better than the ones I bailed on, but not really memorable.
Love Me Do - entertaining enough but I was more invested in the story of the fabulous elderly neighbour than the romance. Read with #LittensLoveRomance. Thanks for the readalong @StayCurious
pick#RomanceRoundUp for July
Copper Script - historical M/M. KJ Charles never disappoints
Awk-Weird - cute hockey player/nerd story. Surprise pregnancy / forced proximity tropes
I Think They Love You - second chance M/M. Romance was okay, family PR company story a bit cringy
Kiss of Steel - Steampunk vampires! Not really my thing but fun for a change. Read with #LittensLoveRomance
so-soJune #RomanceRoundup
Poetry On Ice - Enemies to lovers isn‘t a trope I generally enjoy. This one handled it reasonably well, but I found the 🌶 a bit icky
Pucked - Read with #LittensLoveRomance (thanks @StayCurious ) teammate‘s sister trope, started well but never developed the relationship beyond the physical, which just got boring
Untouchable Player - Sweet jock/nerd & teammate‘s brother trope
Blue Line - OK but forgettable fake dating trope
