After reading several warnings that this book was different than anything else Emily Henry has written, I was nervous to start it. But once my library hold came in while I was on vacation, and I opened up the first page, I was instantly hooked by the magic of her incredible writing. I fell in… Continue reading Review | Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
I've adored every single Tessa Bailey book I've read, so I was super excited to check out this series. I grew up gardening with my mom and I identified with Hallie's affinity for plants and sunny personality. Following her journey of grief and healing after her beloved grandmother's death made for a rewarding character arc.… Continue reading Review | Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey
As someone who has called Seattle home these last ten years, I really enjoyed the portrayal of the city in the book. I love hockey and the evocative imagery made it easy to imagine this happening in my hometown. This book definitely makes Seattle feel like a character of its own, and I loved all… Continue reading New Release | Shoot Your Shot by Lexi LaFleur Brown
Going into this book, I didn't have many expectations because I honestly didn't even read the back. I just loved the whimsy of the cover and it did not disappoint. This cute romance is jam-packed with all my favorite tropes including fake dating, grumpy x sunshine, and a business renovation! From the first page, I… Continue reading Review | Sunshine and Spice by Aurora Palit
This book was the perfect read for the holidays with lots of silly holiday magic and cheer. I usually love a getting-together romance, but this established relationship holiday marriage fix-it was a refreshing read. I loved delving into Quinn and Patrick's domestic lives and appreciated how the work in their relationship didn't end just because… Continue reading Review | The Merriest Misters by Timothy Janovsky

Similar to the last book, the female main character falls for a forbidden F1 driver but isn't sure he's capable of loving her… Continue reading Review | Collided by Lauren Asher

From the lack of descriptive imagery, to the jarring pacing, it seems almost like a stream of conscious book that severely lacks any sort of immersive language, leaving all the heavy lifting up to the reader. The… Continue reading New Release | In a Pinch by Elle Jordan
After hearing everyone raving about Elsie Silver following the release of Wild Eyes, I figured I had to get myself an Elsie Silver education. Starting with her Chestnut Springs series, I was excited to delve into the world of bull riding, especially with all the hype these books have online. I loved following Summer and… Continue reading BookTok Made Me Read It | Flawless by Elsie Silver
I loved Daphne's bubbly sunshine personality and how perfectly it brought out the sharper edges of Cameron's demeanour in juxtaposition. The leftover tension from their first encounter and the forced close proximity make for a suspenseful romance story that was hard to put down. Cyberbullying, anxiety, and self-care are significant topics in this book, and… Continue reading Upcoming Release | Close Knit by Kels & Denise Stone
As a Canadian, I absolutely adored the true accuracy with which Mike's character was written, I feel like a lot of authors usually miss when writing Canadian characters but Mike was totally spot on and I loved reading about him. I also loved how this book unapologetically dealt with difficult themes of grief, and disordered… Continue reading Review | Canadian Boyfriend by Jenny Holiday
