This book popped up on my radar a few months ago and I was immediately captivated by the gorgeous cover! So I put the book on hold at my local library and read it over a weekend.

That’s right! I’m back again with another review for another Christina Lauren book. And…tbh, I’m not made about it because this book was good.

Happy Monday, friends! (Can a Monday be happy anymore? Was it ever happy? Anyway.) I’m back after a small holiday hiatus! In an attempt to try to get as close to my Goodreads reading goal (100 books!) as possible, I decided it to pick up new adult romances, which I usually read so quickly. So over the weekend, I borrowed this book from the library and managed to finish it. Shocker, I know. I didn’t think I’d do it.

Yeah… I have no regrets about reading this book over the course of two days. It was an absolute delight. I really enjoyed The Bromance Book Club but heard some reservations about Undercover Bromance. However, I didn’t let that affect how I read the book or my rating. I absolutely LOVED this one.

ARC Review: “Temporary Wife Temptation” by Jayci Lee
A huge thank you to Harlequin Romance for giving me a free digital copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I can’t quite remember when I first picked up a Harlequin romance novel. I remember seeing them on my aunt’s bookshelf when I was younger, but just looking at the covers made me really embarrassed. (Hello, yes, I was an innocent child.) But with this wave of new adult romance, I’m very much into reading the romance novels that interest so of course I had a keen eye on this book!
ARC Review: “The Widow of Rose House” by Diana Biller
It’s been a while, friends! And I’m so sorry for that. September has been a busy month at work and along with some personal things happening lately, my blog has been on the back burner. However, I am here! And I’m ready to tell you how much I loved The Widow of Rose House!
A huge thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin for sending me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Content warning: flashbacks of physical abuse
ARC Review: “Well Met” by Jen DeLuca
I’m still on my NA romance kick, and have a few eARCs to read and review. I don’t even remember how this book came on my radar. I think I may have just been browsing NetGalley and thought this sounded good. Pleasant surprise! It was!
Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group for giving me a free digital copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I Started Reading NA Romance… (+ Mini Reviews)
Hi, friends! I’m writing up this blog post because it really hits my fancy. While I’m still devouring YA to no end (seriously, I am still waiting on Sorcery of Thorns as an audiobook from my library. Does this mean I should read my physical copy? LOL), I’ve dove into a fair amount of NA (New Adult) romance these past few weeks.
I turned 30 this year, and while I continually adore YA, my pull to NA lately made me wonder why. Not that I need to justify what I’m reading, but I think it comes down to me not finding these books when I was younger. I think back then I simply didn’t know where to look or how to go about looking (and hello, religion, for twisting my thoughts about certain things).
Anyway, I want to share the recent NA books I’ve been reading and supply some (very small) reviews for them.
Review: “Comeback: A K-pop Novel” by Lyn Ashwood & Rachel Rose
A huge thank you to the authors for reaching out and offering me a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book.
I have to admit I’m not deep into the K-pop scene. Maybe if I were younger and BTS (lol) had come around then like they are now, then perhaps yes. I had my moments when I was in high school though. Yet being Korean made me want to review this book and give it honest criticism as the book is written by two white women.
