I enjoyed the banter between Stella and Rhys. I also I go a kick out of his cheesy Christmas song but then I love cheesy Christmas songs. But my favorite part was the small town at Christmas. Fa-La La—La Land might just be a new favorite Christmas rom com.

I enjoyed returning to Harvest Hollow in Hate you maybe. I loved the fall setting as well as the enemies to lovers aspect. The banter between Sayla and Dexter was on point. I’m normally not a fan of work place rom coms but this one worked and I think it because they were coworker and equal. I liked Dexter from the beginning but it took me a bit to warm up to Sayla but when I did I loved her and could easily relate to her. And I loved watching their relationship bloom.
I loved Ivy from the moment I started One more made up love song. And after Once Upon a boy band Freddie to a little bit to warm up but once I did I loved his character. I was a sucker for the banter between them. I also enjoyed the fake relationship aspect of this one because Jenny Proctor is awesome at writing them. And I have to say I thought she handled what Ivy went through before book and the after in the book was tact and grace. I feel like I’m the only person my age who never got the whole boy band fandom. But I still enjoyed this book.

I never thought a Lainey Wilson would inspired
a book, but that's what happened with Tastes
Like Watermelon Moonshine by Audrey Colman. Raegan Carter the heroine never
thought her life would mirror a country song until it does. Raegan and her
boyfriend Austin make a choice just before he leaves for baseball that changes
both their lives as well as their walk with God. While this book is a second
chance romance it is first and foremost a story of God's love, Grace and
Redemption.
And
even though the book has teen and young adult main characters this book is a
story for everyone. I love that the author tackled a tough subject that rather
or not parents and adults want to believe teens do struggle with, and my
friends and I could have used a book like this when we were teens. I know I
could have a used a Mrs. Rosa. This one also reminds all of us that we've all
messed up a time or two and God's forgiveness and Grace will cover us if we ask
for forgiveness. Our past doesn't define us God's love does. Tastes Like Watermelon Moonshine wasn't an easy read but it is worth the
read.

Grumpy
sunshine has always been one of my favorite tropes and I love it even more when
paired with hockey. Noah’s in his rookie season and is determined to not let
anything distract him. Allegra or Ally is looking to start over. After watching
Noah grow up a bit in the DC Eagles series
and
meeting Ally in the Donovan family series I new that I needed to read about
them as adults. I have to say I loved grumpy Noah. But even more so protective
Noah. And of course my heart broke for Ally. And just like both authors’
previous books I love that found family is so important in the one. The
friendship between Fisher, Noah and Penn was like the friendship between the eagle’s
teammates in the DC Eagles series.
And who
can forget Harry Styles, the third who is indeed a typical cat.
And
while this one is the first of a new series, I would recommend reading both the
DC Eagles series by Leah and Katie’s books to get both Noah’s and Ally’s
backstory as well as not be spoiled. But the book can easily be read on its
own. One of my favorite scenes happened towards the end of the book and to me
sums up Noah in a nutshell across two series.
For
those that have read Leah before this one has more language than previous books
and is indeed more fade to black than earlier books. But it’s still a good
read. I also recommend having tissues handy for some parts.

You and Me, For Real is the debut novel by Hayley Elliott and I loved it. I'm normally not a fan of the celebrity troupe in rom com but with this one the troupe worked. I loved Ashton from the start, I mean what's not to love about someone who wants to start an animal rescue. I wasn't a huge fan of Griffin at first but I quickly fell for him when he rescued a dog. My heart broke for Ashton after learning the past she was running from. I loved the banter between Ashton and Griffin and of course the doggie side kicks. And secondary characters are great some of which I would love to see a book about them. This debut novel is indeed a sweet closed door rom com. I can't wait to see what Hayley gives readers next.
