I am beyond excited to read When We Were Monsters by ! 🥳 Perfect for lovers of Dark academia thriller, coming Sept 2nd.

✨ Book Review: Wine or Lose by

This past week I was in the mood for a fun small town, vineyard romance… and it totally delivered on swoony tension, family drama, and that delicious rivals-to-lovers spark. Amara and Calvin had me hooked from page one! If you love office banter, small-town vibes, and plenty of heat, this book will absolutely charm you. 😍🍇

Amara Delatou is stepping into her family’s legacy as CEO of their Michigan winery. She’s smart, determined, and trying to prove herself. The only problem? Her CFO, Calvin Ryder, has never believed in her. Five years ago, things between them went south, and ever since then it’s been constant tension.

And here is where the sparks take off. Their banter is fiery, their chemistry undeniable, and the way the lines blur between their professional lives and personal ones is full of angst, steam, and heart. Add in meddling sisters, a beautiful vineyard setting, and family bonds that tug at your heart, and you’ve got a romance that feels rich and layered.

This story had me flipping pages. It’s passionate, fun, and filled with that dynamic that makes enemies-to-lovers so addictive. Definitely your next steamy small-town binge read.

🥰Huge thanks to Ingram for gifting me a copy! All opinions are my own.

♡♡ What’s your favorite modern retelling of a classic story? 📖

👩🏻‍💻Book Review: Sins of Sorrow by AR Rose ✨

Sins of Sorrow by A.R. Rose is a modern Romeo & Juliet reimagining that takes all the intensity of forbidden love and sets it against the glittering yet dangerous backdrop of Manhattan high society. From the very first encounter between Vinnie and Sly, you feel the tension. Two people born into rival families, taught to hate each other, yet unable to deny the pull that keeps drawing them together. 👏🏼🤭

The chemistry simmers, building with stolen glances, secret meetings, and unshakable emotions neither can escape. This isn’t just romance, it’s a story layered with family drama, vengeance, and the kind of raw passion that feels both dangerous and irresistible. I loved how the slow burn gave room for the stakes to rise, making every moment between them even more powerful.

What really stood out to me was the way the author captured the duality of love and hate. One moment you’re furious on behalf of these characters, the next you’re rooting desperately for them to find a way to survive their circumstances.

If you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, and stories that keep your heart racing, Sins of Sorrow will absolutely deliver.

🥰Huge thanks to Ingram for gifting me a copy! All opinions are my own.

♡♡ which would you rather fake date, billionaire CEO, a movie star, or a prince? Recommend a book with one of these!

👩🏻‍💻Book Review: Strictly Business by .alves_author

This is the 4th book I read by this author and I have to say once again, it didn’t disappoint! I picked this up thinking I’d get a straightforward office romance but I ended up staying up way too late, rooting for the couple and grinning at the banter! If you love steamy workplace romance with fake-fiancée drama, slow-burn tension, and plus size rep, Nicholas and Amara will deliver. 💼💍🔥

Nicholas Blackwood, a billionaire hotel CEO, thrives on control, until a business deal forces him to appear engaged. His solution? Ask his smart, no-nonsense assistant Amara to play the part. She’s organized, curvy, and completely off-limits… or she was. From galas to shared hotel suites, their “pretend” chemistry starts feeling dangerously real.

This romance is a delicious mix of banter, longing, and spice. Perfect for fans of steamy CEO romances with emotional depth and a satisfying payoff.

Things youll find in STRICTLY BUSINESS:

💰Billionaire boss
🥸fake engagement
💞 forced proximity
💁🏻‍♀️confident-but-vulnerable plus-size heroine.

I related so much to Amara, the consciousness of her weight and wondering if this is real. The story didn’t stop making the emotional build-up as addictive as the physical sparks. Alves blends heat with heart beautifully, making this a great read for romance lovers.

Huge thanks to Ingram for gifting me a copy! All opinions are my own.
