This was just ok, nothing special. The plot kept me interested enough, but the relationship development between Emerson and Shaw was weak and way too fast given her issues. So in my opinion, meh.

Kulti | Mariana Zapata

So so so freaking solid. The best romance I've read in a long time... And I read A LOT. Slow burn. Tension. Soccer. Humor. I couldn't put it down. I legit tried to read while chopping onions. Must read more by Mariana Zapata asap!

Waiting On You | Kristan Higgins

This is really cute so far! Looking for more adult recs, but not into erotica-- hook me up!

intothehallofbooks I love Kristan Higgins! I'm rereading Robyn Carr's Thunder Point Series right now. One of my favorites. ❤️ the characters and setting! 9y
bookrockbetty @intothehallofbooks I'll look into that series! 9y
jaimearkin Jill shalvis is my go to!!! 9y

zembla Cecilia Grant's books (regency, I think) are incredible: A Lady Awakened is the first about the family, and the second, A Gentleman Undone, has gloriously complex and flawed main characters. 8y
Varshitha Love her books..❤️ 8y
Lea Agree with Jill Shalvis, also Sarah Morgan, Robyn Carr 8y

I love this cover and I'm definitely intrigued by the premise! For whatever reason I rarely read books written by male authors! That makes this extra exciting!🙌🏻🙌🏻

This is light and sweet, but exactly what I'm in the mood for after a couple of heavier NA titles. 🙃

LOL to the honesty. Read this is one sitting. Some good info but she does come off as a bit of a know it all. it kinda reminds me of an embellished fb post-- putting off an image that is probably 60% accurate. No one has life so balanced, esp at 29!

Did I Mention I Love You? | Estelle Maskame
Mehso-so

I blew through it bc it was like staring at a wreck on the side of the road. The characters are total losers. Their actions & reasons for them are stupid & irrational. Yet I read book 2, got just as pissed & am curious how book 3 will go. *Facepalm*

This came in the mail yesterday- read the synopsis... fantasy/romance/shakespeare inspired. Like the MC, I took some shakespeare courses , as well as drama in HS & college. I have a feeling I'm going to love it!!

jaimearkin That cover is gorgeous! 9y

No Love Allowed | Kate Evangelista

Can I have the last 2 days of reading time back, please? Nothing was well developed here.. not the characters, not the bipolar aspect, nothing. Light and really didn't dig into me emotionally at all. Forced myself to skim the last 50 pages.

No Love Allowed | Kate Evangelista

Ughh.. was liking this one early on, but I get so turned off when authors write gay guys with the mindset of someone from the 1980s- not all gay guys like fashion, hair, makeup, and call everyone honey. 🙄 Starbucks swords = awesome bookmarks!!

bookrockbetty @Loveisnotatriangle i posted it on instagram too... no one commented 😂 so kinda feeling 🙌🏻🙌🏻 bc maybe a fun discovery i can push, but also worried... 😬 9y
ArtsyReaderGirl I have this, actually. Curious to see what you think of it! 9y
Loveisnotatriangle I'm too afraid to read anything without any recommendations these days. But I LOVE that you had the guts to just pick this up and try it out. Hope it ends up being a winner. 9y

99 Days | Katie Cotugno

This book was killer! Our emotions can lead us into making some catastrophic decisions! Ones that are completely reckless and selfish- ones that can't be undone. So well written- brutally raw! So glad I finally read it! Love Katie Cotugno!!

intothehallofbooks Well said! I'm so glad you liked it! 9y
lisarattaiyeg Read this awhile ago and it was good!! 9y

Another win for the Hundred Oaks series! Mistakes come with consequences, but they do not define you, and often open up new doors and opportunities you'd never expect. Looooved Ezra AND his love for cinnamon donut holes. 😉

Kcmmp13 I cannot wait to get my hands on this book. Also loving the flyers DD cup. 9y
PopCrunchBoomBooks Yup have to second the love for the flyers DD cup too! 😊 9y
bookrockbetty @PopCrunchBoomBooks right?! gotta love that logo on the cup!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 9y

Pleasantly surprised- good amount of drama w/ a nice twist. Really liked Drew & Fable together! 2 ppl from opposite worlds w/ equally troubling upbringings fall in love. Not a new fave but def a solid NA! Liked it enough that I already bought book 2!
