September was a crazy month. I seem to be having a lot of those. I have been working at the job more than normal, and the hubby spent 8 days in the hospital. I read 1 ARC and 2 books off my TBR. I also read a free novella by a new-to-me author that I chose not to mention specifically or review. I try to keep this blog positive and full of reads I can recommend.
I was looking for laughs and these books delivered. Add these to your TBR today. Until next time, happy reading!

How To Troll a Guy in Ten Days (Accidentally Infamous #3) by
Pippa Grant
ARC: Release Date- 10/06/2026
#EnemiesToLovers #SecondChance #RomCom #ARC
I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving
an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in first person from an
alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. Though it can be read as a
standalone, readers may benefit most from reading the book in publication
order.
Mabel is the organized leader and biggest heart responsible
for her Aunt Pip and reopening the winery. I absolutely loved her. When she
trolled Tennessee, I completely understood why she did it while admiring her
creativity and dedication to the task. I absolutely laughed out loud.
Ten is so much more than he seems. He is doing his best to
grow into the man he wants to be and to move past they way he has spent his
youth. He fell so hard for Mabel, and it was beautiful to read.
Found family, pets, shenanigans, steamy times, and lots of
laughs made this a read I won’t soon forget.
A Royal Disaster (Royally Engaged #1) by Jennifer Bonds
#FakeRelationship #LatinxMC #OppositesAttract #Royal
#RomCom
Written in third person, this rom com can be read as a
standalone and ends with a HEA. Elena is a New Yorker from the east village.
She is an artist and a business owner. Her character is half Puerto Rican and
half Irish and I loved her personality. She is snarky at times, bold, brave,
and kind. I appreciated her extended family and the way Puerto Rican culture plays
an important role in the book-because it is important to her character. I also adored her big family and the way that
Spanish is sprinkled liberally throughout the book. I learned some new words,
which is always fun for me.
Liam is the Prince Charming I didn’t know I needed. He is
charming and dedicated to serving his country and the crown. He learns more
about himself through the fake relationship process with Lena than he expects.
I loved that he was willing to grow to be the man she deserved. I really liked
how much he appreciated Lena because of how different they were and not I spite
of it.
Humor, heat, and fun banter made this a very enjoyable read. This was a new-to-me author, and I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
Late Harvest (Red Wine Supper Club #1) by Cathryn Lyons
#Celebrity #FakeRelationship #GrumpySunshine
Written in third person, this series starter can be read as
a standalone and ends with a HEA. I adored the way the chapter headings
included Remy’s affirmations and Bash’s dad jokes. I need to get some of her
affirmations for my daily life. This romance contains mature characters. Bash
is 49 and Remy is 47. They have both found professional success and a level of
personal success that comes with that. They are both articulate, communicate
effectively, and speak their minds when needed.
I loved that there are not any juvenile games played between these two-
just a honest and fast tumble into a forever kind of love.
Remy’s character is a survivor. As the story unfolds,
readers and Bash learn of everything she has been through and conquered to get
to where she is. (Sensitive readers should check the CW on the author’s website
before reading.) Bash is a little goofy
and very handsome and charming. I love that even with all of his success he is
human enough to have self-doubt. I
absolutely LOVED that he falls so hard and fast for the “magnificent”
orthopedic surgeon and adores her in all her fierceness. I appreciated that
there was still a lot of heat between Remy in Bash. Some later in life romances
water this down, and I loved that they have hotter s3x in their 40’s than they
probably had in their 20’s.
Secondary characters form a found family that supports and encourages each of them as they need it. I want to be part of the RWSC. I will bring a lovely Cabernet And a snack.
