Rating: 4.25/5 I devoured this book in 24 hours, it had me hooked. A horrible first date that leads to an amazing love story? Count me in.
Margot is a struggling adult as many are, with a complicated relationship with her family and a horrible boss. She has swiped and checked to the max to find someone but its all duds and she is exhausted. When she keeps finding the same first date fail over and over, curiosity is peaked and they agree to become each other's dating coaches. This story will make you laugh, cringe from how relatable it is and Oliver will make your heart flutter.
I really enjoyed how real Margot was, she had her low moments but she also believed in herself throughout. Margot and Oliver's relationship really had me hooked, being an adult is never easy and these two definitely had their struggles but I enjoyed their overall arch. Margots relationship with her family really hit me in the feels because of how real it is, how real her worries about everything with them and how what she does impacts them, and how she had to live for herself and not what was expected of her. This book was a breath of fresh air.

Cozy omegaverse read that is perfect for the holidays!
Down on her luck after being fired and not wanting to face her parents, which is so relatable, Izzy finds herself in a very cozy winter town with three very hot alphas.
What can a woman possibly want more then three men vying for her love and attention after just getting a hint of her. These alphas go feral after just smelling her, but they do take the time to get to know her and make sure she is on-board with the insta-lust. I really enjoyed the communication that is consistently taking place throughout even when this is a short but steamy read. They all have their own baggage as well, and while it is touched on, this novel is low angst but definitely helps flesh out the characters and their own experiences. I really enjoyed these four and would love to see more of them!
Cozy up with a nice blanket and a drink and dive on it with these four amazing characters in a very entertaining, steamy holiday read. I was lucky enough to receive an arc of this amazing novel and am leaving a review of my own thoughts and feelings.

When fate steps in and guides you to an epic romance.
When Quinn failed publicly on the Olympic stage, she took time to rewrite her story and start again, which meant learning to fall in love with figure skating again. You join her on her second chance at the Olympics with a brand new team and a new look on the sport and life, you also find some great friendships and love along the way. Quinn gets a not so expected blast from the past when the man who ghosted her in her time of need, is now the one assigned to her road to Olympics tv segment. Ben and Quinn are two puzzle pieces who did not fit in the past due to their own traumas but after growing and recovering, they find their way back together.
I really appreciated the love and respect that Victoria showed, especially when sensitive topics came up that happen time and time again in these type of sports. The overall touches on mental health and the importance of being mentally and physically healthy was another great aspect of this book that I feel like usually gets glossed over in romance novels, but I loved seeing these two grow in both aspects throughout the story. The interwoven romance story while also handling sensitive topics really tied in well and I really enjoyed following Quinn and Ben on their adventures. I was lucky enough to receive an arc of this amazing novel and am leaving a review of my own thoughts and feelings.
