Synopsis:

A second-chance romance filled with kisses, cozy inn charm and the irresistible pull of home.

Successful, composed and single Emily Walker has everything under control… until her grandmother’s “tiny accident” lures her back to Everbrook, the hometown she swore she’d outgrown.

But Grandma Rose has a plan. And it starts with Emily’s stay at The Sugar Maple Inn, owned by her first love, Michael Thompson.

Seventeen years apart haven’t dimmed their chemistry or the ache of what they lost.

Now, between family dinners, first snowfalls and fake dating fiascos, they'll discover whether some loves are worth any risk or if seventeen years is too long to bridge the gap.

A swoony second-chance romance featuring a matchmaking grandmother, a dreamy innkeeper hero, and the cozy Vermont town where Christmas miracles still happen.

Reminders of Him is a story of redemption, grief, motherhood, and the complexity of forgiveness.

Kenna is not written to be perfect, and yet in my opinion its what makes this book so relatable.

The chemistry between Kenna and Ledger is beautifully complicated, and the tension between them is handled with sensitivity and depth. Every chapter pulls you further into their world, their pain, and their hopes. The emotional punches are relentless—in the best way.

I encourage you to read this book. But be prepared to have your tissues on hand. Reminders of Him will break your heart, mend it, and leave you thinking about this heartfelt story long after you've read it.

"Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can. And in the off chance that the people we lose are still somehow able to hear us, maybe we should never stop talking to them."

4.5 heart warming stars

Twisted Hate is an electrifying enemies-to-lovers romance that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of passion, redemption, and undeniable chemistry. Ana Huang masterfully crafts a story filled with fiery banter, emotional depth, and heart-pounding suspense, making it impossible to put down. I was hooked from the very beginning.

Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose—two individuals who, at first glance, seem to be each other’s worst nightmare. Josh, a brilliant yet cocky doctor, and Jules, a fiercely independent law student, have spent years exchanging insults and cutting remarks. Their hate runs deep, fueled by misunderstandings, stubborn pride, and the walls they've both built to protect themselves. But when their paths continue to cross, their explosive tension turns into something neither of them can deny—intense, soul-consuming desire.

"You're my personal hell Red And God help me , I don't want to ever leave"

The beauty of Twisted Hate lies in the evolution of their relationship. Josh and Jules don’t just fall into each other’s arms overnight; their connection is built on grudging respect, stolen moments of vulnerability, and a passion that simmers until it erupts. Josh, despite his arrogance, reveals himself to be fiercely protective and surprisingly tender. Jules, for all her bravado, carries deep wounds from her past—wounds that refuse to stay buried.

I wont give any spoilers but, I've never wanted to physically hurt a character in a book until chapter 46 . When you read it you'll understand.

With that said the characters that felt achingly real.

definitely 5 stars all around

Do you take this man by Denise Williams

This book felt like I was watching a feel good classic hallmark movie.

“So you had a dream about me. Is that why you almost jumped me last weekend?” 😂

The sexy banter between Lear and RJ was cute.
I admit it was a little predictable but I like this one still.

This was my first Denise Williams book. I’d definitely consider reading more a her books.

After all the reviews everything in me said.. DON’T DO IT.. DON’T READ IT..  BUT I NEVER LISTEN.. 

now I can’t stop crying 😭😭 

“If you never believe another word I say—believe that I love you. My love isn’t perfect, and it isn’t beautiful. It’s broken and scarred and ugly, but all of it is yours. I will always be yours.”

I’m at a loss for words.. 

How do I read another book after this .... 

what truly sets Under Your Scars apart is its message—love doesn’t erase the scars of the past, but it can help heal them. It’s a reminder that we are not defined by our pain but by how we choose to rise above it.

Carnage By Shantel Tessier

So far I’m infatuated with all of the following LORDS
Ryat will forever be the love of my life, Sin scares the hell out of me.. but I love him still, & Tyson has the roar of a lion but deep down he’s a warm cuddly teddy bear.

But these spade brothers are on another level.

“The justice system puts criminals away in the real world but here, Carnage is where you go when death is too good for you. Carnage is a punishment for the ones who the Lords can’t control.”

This is the darker side to the L.O.R.D.S Series.

The story starts pretty much like the rest in this series.I vow you vow we vow… to live happily ever after. Although we all know by now that’s never the case.
Unlike the other books this book has 2 parts. And part 1 leaves you with so many unanswered questions. Said questions do get answered. But not til the end.. sorry it’s worth it though I promise!

This book definitely pulls on a lot of emotions, and not just for the main characters. I totally fell for Haidyn and cannot wait to dive into his story.

There were some parts of this book that I felt was a little drawn out.. but that didn’t take away from the story for me.

Parts of this book is very intense, but so worth it. Please check your trigger warnings.

Another 5⭐️ read!!

God of Fury By Rina Kent

By far the BEST BOOK IN THIS SERIES!

throughout this entire series I had a such a distaste for Nikolai. He was always such a brute and often times came off as evil and condescending in the other books. In his story though..I couldn’t get enough of him.

I’ve read a few MM romance stories in my day. But none quite like this.

This is a must read!!


Throwing you all the stars Rina Kent!.. this book is a beautiful masterpiece.

Rook & Rebel by Kate Crew

Rook and rebel is label as a dark romance. It has dark moments.. but it’s far from dark. This is the book you recommended to someone who wants to try out dark romance.

This was a quick read. Unfortunately it was a little predictable. Cute story nonetheless.

At the same time there are to many scenarios that seemed rushed as well as others that took forever to get through.

This was my first book by Kate Crew. And I’m being honest I’m not sure I want to read the rest of this series.

3 Stars

That sik luv By Jescie Hall

I listened to the audiobook while reading this title. And if you’re not familiar with Joe Arden. Please do yourself a favor and listen to this one. His narration of this book is completely phenomenal!! I felt as if I were watching the movie. He has a gift of making u feel every emotion all at once as if it’s happening to you. I cried , laughed and was in aww several times throughout this book. That is the sole reason I gave this book 5 stars

Aero is unhinged, stalking,secrets, lies and disception.. what could possibly go wrong. lol.
Briony is young and Naive. She basically lives in a bubble until she meets Aero.
Feels like a story I heard to many times before.
The story it self was OKAY. Not predictable thank god.. but at times It felt a little drawn out.

The spice was very spicing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
and the ending however was pure perfection.

The Sacrifice by Shantel Tessier

You know that feeling you get when you finally get with the one person that you’ve craved for a long time and when you finally get down to the deed, your left unsatisfied. that’s how Tyson Crawford left me and I am in shambles over it. Let me explain.

So the last book in this series, Sin and Ellington story if you remember in my last review, I said the sinner triggered me badly to hit pause on reading the next book because of it. Well that didn’t last long .. ever since Tyson Crawford was introduced in the first book. I was looking forward to learning more about him. I was excited when I found out the third book would be Tysons story finally . So pushed all my fears aside, and I decided to dive in to the book not knowing at all what it was gonna be about per se.

Of course I already knew Tyson was unhinged …but not at all like Ryan or Sin. I also knew his girlfriend died…sorry if that’s a spoiler for anyone.. so naturally I figured we get answers.
What I didn’t expect was for him to treat the love of his life like a brand new shiny toy… or for him to be so cold towards her.
The ending was good and some of his actions did make sense.. I was still left with one major question.. maybe I might have missed it. I can’t go through my line of questioning with out giving to much away… so I just have one..WHY? If you’ve read this book and u think u can help me out.. plz message me.. to help me understand why did this all happen ?

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

 

Good L.O.R.D! 

What would you do to be with the one you love. How far would you go to get past all the barriers that stands in your way?

 Barriers are a no brainer for Ryat.

I have read a lot of books in my day.. and I’ve wanted to live in some of them.. but is like no other.. and there are many that will live in my cold dark heart forever.. but RYAT is one of the few characters I’d actually love to meet… in a fictional sense of course..

Ryat is unhinged.. and y’all know by now how much I love me an unhinged MMC. This man is a GOD in my eyes. He is a savage, he is relentless and a sadistic asshole when he needs to be and he doesn’t know the meaning of boundaries. but he will go to the ends of the earth for the woman he loves. Sadly that’s not me..  I can live with that.. I think 🤔 

But when he loves you he loves wholeheartedly 😍 and that’s all the matters.

Let me be clear.. this book is DARK and not meant for everyone. please check your triggers warnings before proceeding.

I vow.. you vow.. we vow to forever love RYAT.

I cannot wait to read book two in this series 

Shantel Tessier you deserve a standing ovation for this one my friend 👏👏👏

God of Ruin by Rina Kent

 

In my opinion, this series has been a bit of a hit and miss for me. Let me explain:  

Book one was an absolute masterpiece, I never wanted it to end. I devoured it in one sitting and loved every moment.  

Book two was okay, but it didn’t quite live up to the magic of the first book.  

Book three was everything I didn’t know I needed I absolutely LOVED it!  

Naturally, I was beyond excited for **book four** God Of Ruin.  

Landon’s character throughout the series has been completely unhinged, which is part of what made him so fascinating. My expectations for his story were sky-high. While he remains unhinged in this book, it wasn’t quite to the level I was hoping for.  

The beginning started off strong and had me hooked, but somewhere along the way, the spark fizzled out. By the time the main plot came into focus, it just didn’t deliver the punch I was expecting.  

That being said, the book still has its fair share of heartfelt moments that I couldn’t imagine missing out on.  

So it's with a heavy heart, I have to give this book 3.5 ⭐️

The Sinner By Shantel Tessier

This book was amazing…

Shantel Tessier  did not disappoint!!

 BUT..  THIS BOOK triggered me so badly.. I almost didn’t finish it.

To say this book is dark is an understatement.  This book is 

Pitch black 

And even then it's worth the read.

Sin is demented with is antics, he is the devil I didn’t know I needed. At the same time he’s the darkest angel prepared to put all of my broken pieces back together. ❤️

After reading this I may take a break from the dark books I’ll come back to the lord series another time my mental health matters

This book isn’t meant for everyone readers discretion is advised.

5⭐️

The Boyfriend By Freida McFadden

 

Who loves dating website? I surely don't. People hide behind who they really are just to lore you in.
Sydney dating journey is no different.

For me this book started off slow.. and if I'm being honest I wouldn't have finished it if it wasn’t for the audio book.
The plot twist in the end absolutely floored me!

This was my first Frieda McFadden book.. still deciding which of her book to try next
