Book reviews from the week of July 10th

 


I only read one ARC this week, but it was amazing.  It is probably the longest book author duo Max Monroe has written.  I loved every second of it and ended up savoring every word.  This series was a real joy to read and I definitely recommend it.

5 STARS

Remy finally gets his HEA!!!!  I am so excited!  I have been waiting for Remy to find love since I met him in Scoring the Billionaire when I read it the first time back in 2018.  Maria is perfect for him.  Their story is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.

Remy, oldest Winslow brother, is 44 when he gets stuck in an elevator with a very pregnant woman who turns out to be his old high school sweetheart.  Maria, 42, is a fierce professional realtor who specializes in expensive NYC real estate and owns her own firm.  When she gets stuck with Remy she almost to term with her pregnancy.  They catch up some, but Maria’s life is complicated.  That does not stop Remy from pursuing contact with her.

I adore Remy: always have.  Maria has a heartbreaking back story. I loved her and she was perfect for Remy.   I loved that she knew him so well when he was a more lighthearted, yet always responsible boy.  I loved that he was her first, and the trust they had in each other then.   There are many humorous moments over the course of the story.  There is plenty of heat between these two also.  Their intimate scenes are packed with emotion and the longing for more.  I really enjoyed how their families were so connected when they were young, and how that paves the way for Maria to be easily welcomed back into the Winslow clan with her baby.  And Remy with the baby?  You guys!!!!  You need to read that.  HOT. HOT. HOT.  Maria seriously never stood a chance at getting away.

Reading all the Winslow brothers together and in love was special.  Even Mama Winslow has found her groove.  Lexi and her relationship with Remy is integral to Remy’s person and his comfort with the baby.  I also love the relationship that is formed between Lexi and Maria: truly special.  This was a fantastic read.  It makes me want to reread the whole series all over again back-to-back.  There are surprises along the way, which I will not share.  The bonus epilogues are true perfection: they wrap up this series in a way I never expected but loved with all my heart.  This author duo keeps getting better and better.  I highly recommend this series.

Book reviews for books read January 1st-10th

  Happy weekend and Happy 2025! I am starting the year strong. I have read 3 ARCs, 1 full-length novel, and 3 more novellas so far this year. The 3 ARCs were all fun reads, the next book in the Boston Billionaire Bachelors series was a fun ride, and the three monster novellas were still an enjoyable escape from reality.  I am traveling unexpectedly this month after my dad was hospitalized.  I will spend the next week in West Virginia helping my brother and helping my dad get some strength back before I return home. I am hopeful that means some dedicated reading time while I am here since there is no shortage of snow. Until next week, happy reading.

Book reviews from the week of November 19th

  Happy weekend!  This week I read four ARCs and a book releasing next week thorough Amazon First Reads.  I hope my reviews can convey how much I loved these books this week.  I am all up in my feels as I write this.  Hopefully, some of these will be just what you are seeking and bring some happiness to your holiday season. I have been thinking a lot lately about romance in general and the romance community in particular.  There is always going to be a negative Nellie here and there, but overall I frequent authors and groups that bring me joy.  I love getting to know like-minded people online.  Then, when we finally get to meet in person it is like reuniting with an old friend instead of meeting a stranger.  Personally, I feel closer to my book friends than many of the people in my "real" life; even some I have known for many years. So in this season of thanksgiving, I would like to give thanks for romance.  I am thankful for interesting...

Best Reads of 2025

  Happy New Year! 2025 was a year that did not go as I planned it. I set a lot of BIG reading goals for the year. I was going to finish a whole lot of author back lists. I was going to read more historical romance, because I love them. I was going to read some non-fiction and some non-romance historical fiction. But alas, 2025 had other plans for me. My husband was diagnosed with cancer at the end of January, and my reading goals went off the rails as life became all about the next appointment or procedure. So I didn't hit a lot of those goals. I didn't read as many books as I normally do. I opted out of a few ARC teams and several individual ARCs. Thankfully, the authors who give me the privilege of reading their books in advance were very understanding. I have felt loved and supported by the book community this year as I lived this journey with my husband.  So, for 2026 I have rolled goals forward. I will allow myself some grace if I don't meet them. I will allow myself t...
