Unguarded by Jay Hogan (Vino and Vertias #10)

November 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

This book is a lot like those fish out of water 90’s romantic comedies. We have 27-year-old Tai Samuels the (as the book describes him multiple times) sassy, lipgloss-wearing party boy who flees Boston with just the clothes on his back after a disastrous breakup. He makes a detour in small-town Vermont and, with aRead the Post

The Road To Rose Bend by Naima Simone

August 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

I don’t know why I get it into my head that books with warmly lit landscapes are moderate heat-level because this small-town romance was scalding. The last thing Sydney wants to do is head back to her small hometown of Rose Bend…especially since she’s pregnant with her ex-husband’s baby. Sydney has a complicated past withRead the Post

Wins and Losses by Alexandra Warren

April 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

Wins and Losses is my kind of sports romance. I’m fascinated by the communities formed around sports teams and that’s where I like my sports romances to take place. After her father is gunned down, Carmen Wellington returns to her hometown to help her brother Jordy, the star basketball captain, through his senior year. Raising aRead the Post

Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan

April 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

This is my second Kennedy Ryan book and when it comes to her books you have to be ready to settle in because Ryan’s stories have a lot of depth; she intimately explores her character’s past and present before getting to the main course. Ezra and Kimba were inseparable as teens, but a rift betweenRead the Post

Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay

November 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

I actually…don’t read a ton of fake relationship books and I had to ask Kat what constitutes a fake relationship. As Glenn Wheldon from the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast would say, I feel like there is a taxonomy of fake relationship romance: a fake relationship between two strangers fake relationship between people who alreadyRead the Post
