This is a quick recap of all the books I reviewed in January. As always, the full reviews have my likes and dislikes, a discussion of the narration, quotes and graphics, series orders and bookstagrams for most of them. My reviews never go further into the story than the blurb, but if you like short reviews, they all have a “Down… Read More
Anticipating Temptation by Randi Perrin Narrated by Xe Sands Standalone Contemporary Romance Novella I absolutely love books with women that have weight issues, especially about women who also have confidence issues, because they are so relatable to me.

The Secret To Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister by Meghan Quinn Standalone Romantic Comedy Meghan Quinn is a top five author for me.
