📚 Playmaker or Heartbreaker by Lila Marlow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed this read. I loved Mel and Sean’s relationship with each other. I thought the pacing of their relationship made sense in their context, and loved getting to see them come together and integrate into each other’s lives.

📖 On the Slopes of Tahoe by J.A. Forde
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I fell in love with this book and these characters. I loved the dynamics between Rory, Breck, and Willow, and how they all helping each other come out of respective shells. I also really appreciated Wes’ reaction when he finds out.

📖On a Flight to Sydney by J.A. Forde ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I completely adored this book. It was swoony, adorable, and had me giddily kicking my feet at parts. I love how we get to see both of them give and gain exactly what they needed to with each other to grow and start on their new chapters.

📚 London Hearts (1): The Other Brother ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finding out her fiancé was cheating on her at their engagement party was not what April was expecting - neither was realizing that his younger brother was way hotter.

📖 Spy x Family Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 by Tatsuya Endo ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed these two instalments, I felt like the plot is picking up and we are starting to see our characters come into their own. Anya is adorable, and as of now, this fake-marriage is looking promising!

📖 Before the Coffee Gets Cold (5): Before We Forget Kindness by Toshikazu Kawaguchi ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an easier time following along in this book than I have in previous ones. I appreciate the short but sweet stories that serve as a reminder to live without regrets, because we can’t change the past.

📖Conspiracy 365 (12): December by Gabrielle Lord ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I thought the conclusion to the mission itself was well done. I appreciated how the various elements wrapped up. I wish we saw a little more about Cal coming home/ getting back into normal life. Overall though, I thought this was a good conclusion

📖 Conspiracy 365 (10&11): October and November by Gabrielle Lord ⭐️⭐️⭐️

📖 Wells Ranch (3): Change of Hart by Bailey Hannah ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A cute friends-to-lovers-to-exes-to-lovers small town cowboy romance. After a falling out shortly after graduation, high school sweethearts Denver and Blair haven’t seen each other in years. Good read, looking forward to the next book.
