  June has been a crazy month. This last week I have been able to read an ARC, a book I had to pass on the ARC in April, two books from my TBR, and a reread of one of my favorites through read & listen. I honestly loved them all for different reasons.  One of the best things about romance is that there are so many sub-genres, tropes, and now micro tropes, that I never fail to find exactly what I need. This week I also read two new-to-me authors. One has been on my list for a while. The other was an impulse and a novella that came at the perfect time. Check out my reviews and add these to your list today. Until next time, happy reading.

  June has been a heck of a month. My husband has had 2 hospital admissions so far and we are only 23 days in. It has me off my groove a little bit. I was able to read two ARCs and three books from my TBR in the last bit though. Check out my reviews and give these books a try. Beneath Highland Stars (Special Ops Scots #3)  by Kait Nolan ARC: Release Date- 06/20/2025 #EnemiesToLovers #ForcedProximity #RomanticSuspense #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this 3 rd book in series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Finn is the former Royal Marine who is happy-go-lucky, always joking, always charming- at least on the outside. Underneath he is serious, damaged, and feeling all of his emotions. Saoirse is the town vet and she and Finn have a sappy way of communicating as they try hard to convince themselves that their chemistry isn’t real. Once Sao...

  Happy weekend!  It has been a busy couple of weeks but I managed to read 6 books. Two ARCs, and four books from my TBR. I have been working on reading the backlist of Swati M.H., and managed to read all but one of her books prior to assisting her at the HEA Reader Event in Indianapolis on June 7th. Then I joyfully read two ARCs, both over 400 pages. Then I needed something a little different. I needed to break away from traditional, contemporary romance and was able to fit in a paranormal rom com and a monster romance. Now I am back to ARCs.  There are so many good books to read. I am exceedingly grateful to the authors who have written and are writing books that suck me into their imaginary worlds. Thank you authors for giving me a way to escape reality for a little while and guaranteeing me that happy ending. Till next time, happy reading.

  I can't believe it is June already! This last week of May I found myself binging a series by Swati M.H. I have made working on author backlists one of my goals this year. Next weekend I will be assisting this wonderful lady at the HEA Reader event. In an effort to finish reading the books in her backlist I grabbed this series from Kindle Unlimited. And then I didn't want to stop. I will be doing a series spotlight in a few days when I get my thoughts together. In the meantime, check out my reviews. Then add this whole series to your kindle and read it. I promise, you won't be sorry. Until next time, happy reading! My Beautiful Chaos (Feel the Beat #2) by Swati M.H. #FakeRelationship #SecondChance #FriendsToLovers Yes, no, maybe so? Make it a definite “Yes”. Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book stands on its own and ends with a HEA. After meeting both Jeena and Wayland in book one of this series, I was really looking forward to their stor...
