Amazing banter, intense chemistry between Josie and Will, surprising depths, and beautiful language. Though the characters are only in their mid-late twenties, their problems are real and relatable. Those who hate third act breaks will be happy but there was still plenty of conflict to keep thinks interesting, including important lessons regarding burnout, guilt, friendship, and learning to let go. Clare Gilmore is such a talent.

I absolutely loved Joe's kids and the way Maren was with them, as well as the ease they had with each other. I typically like a third act breakup, but Erin Hahn knows how to write romances without them that have enough conflict to avoid being just vibes. This book is a perfect example. It was fun seeing the characters from the other two. In short, I loved it!

Such a fun, joyous, proudly Jewish holiday romcom! In typical Amanda Elliot fashion, the food descriptions made my mouth water, but the slow burn, fake dating romance made me swoon! I might have shed a few tears watching Abby open her heart!

Celestine Martin writes magic with such a solid and whimsy hand that makes it easy to fall into Freya Grove without question. I loved the glimpses of Lucy/Alex and Ursula/Xavier since their stories. I'm sad to see the end of the Elemental Love series but excited for what Martin brings us next.

It was a beautiful and sometimes sad romance about experiencing immense grief and coming out of it on the other side, learning how to work through the pain and discovering that trusting others with your broken heart can be truly healing. The twist at the beginning was shocking and I did NOT see it coming. Now I want to try geo caching!

I've loved all of Lynda Cohen Loigman's books so far, but The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern is extra special! Though it's not marketed as a romance, it is most definitely a romance...between two octogenarians! The characters in this book came alive on the page. They made me laugh. They made me feel. They made me feel all the feels. Honestly, this book is an absolute gem. Run, don't walk.

Wow - what an impressive debut! Kiernan and Ellie were ADORABLE. So different yet perfect for each other and watching them fall in love but pretend itWow - what an impressive debut! Kiernan and Ellie were ADORABLE. So different yet perfect for each other and watching them fall in love but pretend it was just a "light" friends-with-benefits arrangement was such fun! I adored all the side characters but especially Ben. What a dream father-in-law! The Jewish rep was an extra treat. Honestly, this book was so beautifully written, funny, and sexy with the perfect amount of steam (in my opinion). It's hard to believe it's a debut and I can't wait to read the author's next book.

I knew going in that this was going to be about a woman who finds herself trapped in one of her favorite television series, but I didn't know the specifics and it was such a fun twist! Josh/Fletcher is the book boyfriend of my dreams! And all the Easter eggs to some of the author's (and my) favorite shows was an unexpected delight! A bar called The Bronze, a guy named Chad Michael. Be still my late bloomer Gen X with the television taste of a millennial heart! I can't wait to see what Robb brings us next.
