I've been in love with books since I learned to read at four years old, and I haven't looked up since. When I'm not reading, I'm probably playing video games, baking, or hanging out with my lovely family. This blog is a record of my reading experience and here you'll find mostly romance in all shapes and forms, fantasy and lit fic. I hope you like it here!

This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan: Book Review

This book felt more like women's fiction with a romance subplot; the writing was great, but I wanted more relationship development with the main couple.

Given Our History by Kristyn J. Miller: Book Review

This romance book wasn't romantic at all -- an elegy of misused plot devices, wasted opportunities and poorly done characters.

Savor It by Tarah DeWitt: Book Review

I wish I could say I liked this one, but I was so bored. It might not be a bad book, but it definitely wasn't for me.

At First Spite by Olivia Dade: Book Review

I thought this would be my favorite romance of the year -- unfortunately, all the memes and icky sex scenes (or rather, the heroine's dialogue during sex scenes), ruined it for me.
