I’m don’t like reality television so the premise was a bit meh for me. I did like the way mental health was talked about throughout however. I thought the ending dragged on a bit once Charlie decided he didn’t want to go back to his old job.

So cute! Taylor and Ethan are adorable together, perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I worried about how Ethan’s relationship with Amy would be handled, because you can tell straight from the beginning that the divorce gave him a terrible deal, but I was glad that didn’t blow up in his face. I also really appreciated how much respect both Ethan and Taylor had for Amy, even if they didn’t like her.
I was on the fence about Janovksy after his first book I read, but this has convinced me to seek out more of his work.

This felt like an old school romance in the best way (celebrity/normie, fish-out-of-water, small town). Lucas is HOT and cast of supporting characters was a delight. It does take a little while to get going but once it does, it’s well worth the ride. Can’t wait to see what Nava writes next.

A cute autumnal read that annoyingly made me long for the season even though I’ve been waiting all year for summer. I thought the concept of the challenge, the arbiter and the families working together made for a fun plot. The characters felt a bit formulaic but overall a sweet and cosy read.

I felt a bit cheated when Walker and Lara were just wrapped into Hawke and Sienna’s book. Really glad they got a novella here.

I feel like their underlying issue of his overprotectiveness balanced against her lifestyle wasn’t fully resolved, but whew these two are hot.

Poor Andrew did not deserve to have to put up with Adriana, who gives very strong Temple of Doom leading lady energy. I found her incredibly annoying throughout. William is a very heavily stereotyped gay side character. The writing style was a bit clunky. Overall not a great read.

I completely understand the hype around this one and it is well-deserved. Ellie is such a great character, and she’s so perfect for Lothaire. The plot is bananas in the best way and that one spicy scene 😅
