Hot For His Girl by Rachel Blaufeld Standalone Contemporary Romance I was immediately drawn to Hot for His Girl by Rachel Blaufeld because it’s about bloggers.

Fight or Flight by Samantha Young Standalone Contemporary Romance Fight or Flight by Samantha Young was completely unputdownable, but I still have very mixed feelings about it. I feel like she started writing a light enemies-to-lovers romcom, had the cover designed, but then maybe it took on a life of its own, because the cover, as cute as it is,… Read More

Dr. Fellatio by Stella Rom-Com Standalone While I really enjoyed Dr. Fellatio by Stella (Stephie Walls and Leddy Harper), I have to say, I grabbed it for the title and the blurb. But it turned out they totally don’t quite fit the book. While I’m not disappointed, I just expected something totally different. I had also hoped to get some… Read More
After Care by LB Dunbar Narrated by Coleen Marlo First in a Connected Standalone Romance Series for Women Over 40. I absolutely LOVE a book where the couple is over 40!

Second Draft by CM Seabrook and Carter Blake Narrated by Addison Spear Standalone Contemporary Romance I wanted to read and listen to as many Wicked Book Weekend authors as I could before the signing, so when I saw Second Draft by CM Seabrook on Audible, I grabbed it without reading the blurb.
