Sweet Redemption by Bella Matthews

Sweet Redemption by Bella Matthews

(ARC Read) I bawled. From start to finish. Every time I thought I had finally pulled myself together, Bella Matthews found another tender spot and ripped it wide open. Sweet Redemption is messy, painful, complicated, and so deeply emotional that there were moments I genuinely had to stop reading just to collect myself. And Chapter…

Verdict by Brittany Storm

Verdict by Brittany Storm

(ARC Review) “I’m not walking away from something. I’m choosing something.” There is stubborn, and then there is Ava James and Cohen Jordan. These two were absolutely infuriating. I spent an unreasonable amount of this book wanting to reach through the pages, grab them both by the shoulders, and make them actually TALK to each…

With his easy charm, and reputation with the ladies, Bennett has always been the kind of character who commands attention whenever he shows up on the page.

Fallin’ Tides by Tori Ford

(ARC Read) I fell in love with Holly River almost immediately. Fallin’ Tides gave me all the cozy fall, quirky small-town vibes I could have asked for, complete with local businesses, fall festivities, a dream bookshop, an unhinged girl gang, and the kind of town where everyone knows everyone and probably knows their business too….
