I felt this was a very slow moving book but I did enjoy the character of Sam. I love how much of a klutz he is 🤣 and the way Phoebe just got exasperated with him at times. I felt bad for the things Phoebe (and her family) had to go through. (There are trigger warnings before the book starts so you know what you might encounter).
I didn't enjoy the times science came into play throughout here. I didn't think it made the story flow all that well. With Phoebe being (or trying to be) a scientist or made sense to bring some of it in but it just made those parts drag.

Olivia and Logan seemed to always be in competition in high school work Logan always taking the top spot. Now he has come to work where she has for the last 6 years and first off, he gets the apartment she wants in the Serendipity.
I loved this enemies to lovers book! Logan is just misunderstood and he's actually a really sweet, good guy. The antics these 2 got up to and got up to make for a funny, laugh out loud time. The fortune cookies that come from everywhere with their sage advice made me giggle. I loved Rhett, Logan's Boston terrier. He's a smartie and l just love a dog that brings people together (is Rhett part of the magic too?!).
I really loved that we got a small scene with the flower from Jenny's book... That was exciting!!

This was a perfect blend of a past road trip and current road trip of 4 (plus a half 😉) sorority sisters. The past one inspired the completion of the current and there are buried secrets and cover ups that will come to light.
I enjoyed reading (even among the struggles) the POV of each woman. They are very well fleshed out characters that I came to care for. There were laughs and tears. There were even surprises once the big buried secret was revealed that made my jaw drop. I hope that you will join this adventure and really come to love this found family and the bond they have that makes them cling to each other in support in times of need.

So exciting to get books for more (started with Max in The Tenacious Act) of the NY Raptors!
This has a fun friend to lovers with Marissa (who is the Coach's daughter) and her best friend hockey player Aaron. I love these two in their friendship relationship, they just get each other. I also really love the relationship between Coach and Aaron, the former being such a great role model for Aaron to have grown up around.
I loved when they confessed to the feelings that they tried so hard to hide because it was just straight forward, no hesitation finally.
The "birthday" scene was amazing and I want one exactly like it 😍 and to always be a surprise when they celebrate Marissa was fun.

This was a great murder mystery with a solid cast of characters that are so real and raw and I felt every emotion with them.
Aria is a great woman working for the homeless and accidentally stumbles upon the person who just killed a volunteer for her organization, Emerson. Then she and her loved ones are constantly threatened. She decides she needs to figure out why Emerson was a target and quick...With a great friend (love interest too) Jax and police officer Errol by her side.
Aria stressed me out (in a good way!) but she was so tenacious that I couldn't help but cheer her on. I liked to see the past of Emerson throughout the read and the struggles he went through during service in Nam and the demons of drug/alcohol abuse as a result because it really helped me feel sympathy for him.

Get ready for ocean and boat puns galore in this high sea adventure of two people falling for each other on a luxury yacht they work on.
Lucia "Lucky" has dreams of opening a bakery in honor of her grandparents so she works on a high class yacht to save up for that dream. Along comes Hunter, the new guy on the crew, who immediately helps Lucky through a panic attack. He's so sweet and handsome...too bad there is a new rule to not franternize with any crew member. But when the only place he can bunk is her room, things will get interesting!
I love the nights Hunter and Lucky spend together. It's always sweet. I love that they watch old movie musicals together and fall asleep in each other's arms. This is a closed door with only kissing but the tension of breaking the before mentioned rule is delicious!

This was a beautiful story about family and forgiveness. When a tragedy occurs in Mallory's job, she takes leave and goes home. Her and her mother, Helen, have a rocky past filled with secrets and they don't really get along. When she gets there, she runs into an old love that she almost married, Aiden. They are both broken in ways and it's awkward to be around each other.
I loved every part of this. The past we get to see from Helen, her journal and the mystery person she's writing to. The journey of healing Aidan and his mother go through. All is just beautiful.

I was so excited for Sophie's story because of her friendship with Willa and I love a best friends to lovers story.
I love that Sophie and Peter decided to live in the same apartment building. It becomes so fun when a flower blooms and when Sophie learns its nickname, she's putting her faith in the building's magic and this flower to help her find her true love. This makes Peter a wingman of sorts and he has to prepare for his heart, that has always belonged to Sophie, to possibly be broken.
I honestly love how chaotic Sophie sends sometimes, it makes for great laughs. I love the rituals and routines that two have. I wasn't expecting part of the ending and it made me cry a bit but it's perfect for them.

"Soulmates aren't found, they're made" I agree with this and it's a beautiful sentiment and perfect for the story of Iris and Matteo!
This book's premise felt to me like the TV show Early Edition (Kyle Chandler was 👌 ok?). I loved that through their experience of helping people through a magical newspaper helped them both realize things about their own lives- Matteo that he can love again and Iris that she's not "too much" for the right person.
I loved how Matteo's restaurant family pulled Iris in so quickly and seamlessly- that found family for her was amazing. The food Matteo makes throughout just made my mouth water , even the simple French Toast. A big part of the end with Matteo made me tear up, it was bittersweet and beautiful at the same time.

Hazel is a romance author who has had a hard time coming up with a new story. So what she does is acts like her female characters and leaves the big city to the small town of Story Lake where she bought a house that inspired a spark of an idea for a story.
There she meets Cam, a too handsome and grumpy contractor that will change her world.
I highly enjoyed this romp in the small town of Story Lake. The residents are hilarious, the teenage mayor, Goose the bald eagle and his antics and ninja Bertha the raccoon. I haven't laughed so much in a book in a long time and most of it was at the hilarious made up names + swear words...these characters get creative.
I can't wait to return for Gage and Zoey's story!
