The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5 Stars)
Release Date: March 8, 2022

A fun and quick read. I liked that we got different POVs and the story was fast paced and so easy to listen to. I liked the premise and thought the dynamics (and secrets) between all the characters was compelling and kept me listening. The tension was also well don for me – though the action was a bit spaced out, I was still engaged.

I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren

Rating: ★★★★☆
Release Date: October 6, 2020

I liked the insular feeling with the close knit families who’ve known each other forever and all the imbedded history. I think the rewind/Groundhog day element was perfectly utilized – enough times to notice a pattern and make changes, but not too many to be repetitive. The romance was cute and I thought this was a perfect wintery read.

Boyfriend by Sarina Bowen

Rating: ★★★☆☆
Release Date: October 12, 2021

A cute, short, college sports romance. I love hockey romances, and while this one didn’t really do anything new, it did a lot of things I love – including fake dating- so I had a really good time. This college romance is light on the actual classes, so if that’s your preferred ration, this will be perfect for you.

Throttled by Lauren Asher

Rating: ★★★★☆
Release Date: January 9, 2020

Steamy, quick read and a fun start to a companion series I definitely plan on continuing.

I didn’t know what to expect from a F1 romance because I’m pretty unfamiliar with the sport – so I liked getting glimpses of info from Maya’s vlogs – I was learning alongside her viewers. I have to say I was really happy with the chemistry and the emotional development over the course of the story. In the beginning, I assumes Noah was your typical brooding bad boy with a chip on their shoulder who might thaw a bit, but I really grew to love him a lot and him journey. He recognizes his shortcomings was wants to improve. A great start to this serie!
