    This is a book is a romance story between Alexis a doctor, and Daniel a carpenter and town mayor for a small rural town. Alexis is a decade older than Daniel but their problems don’t stop there, they live 2 hours away from each other, have complete different lifestyle and Alexis just got out of an abusive relationship. I REALLY enjoyed this book. It took me ages to pick it up, it been sitting on my shelf for ages and I’d been avoiding it because I’m not a big romance reader. This one completely surprised me. I loved the characters, I loved the small town setting, I loved the puppy dog MMC personality and all the little plot lines in the story. I was losing interest in the middle a little but it wasn’t bad. All in all, I think it’s definitely top 5 in all the romances I’ve read.

    the way Alexis described herself and the legacy of the Montgomerys had me thinking for a hot minute that being "a Montgomery" was some sort of super specialist profession i'd never heard of 💀💀 it's just her family name though

    after reading 3 fantasy books in a row, I wasn’t sure how I’d go with a romance and was worried it would be a little boring compared to the recent stuff I’ve been reading.. but THIS is quickly becoming one of my favourite romances I’ve ever read. Abby has definitely sprinkled a bit of crack throughout this book coz I legit can’t get enough. Every scene is so witty and done flawlessly! Banter is A1 and im loving both Alexis and Daniel. Can’t wait to see what else happens!!

    About Charlie who is a female in a world where females are basically extinct. She’s auctioned off and sold to 3 demons who bought her for the purpose of “feeding” an incubus (a sex demon). It started off super strong I read almost half in the first sit then I lost interest due to the lack of plot. It became mostly sex scenes and a bunch of the main character crying, I got really over it even though I thought it would be a five star read when i was first reading. I did like all the characters except for the FMC, she’s was a bit whiney. I LOVED the character Gray and have decided he’s my first book boyfriend lol. The smut was good at first and then the author just over killed it. It was all in all, okay. Don’t know if I’ll be continuing the series, probably not.

    I honestly didn’t think I’d like this book as much as I do. Every scene is interesting, I love the characters (I do wish we got more on Az and Silas, the writing is easy to read - it’s feeling like 2026’s first 5 star read, knock on wood! Still got a little under half to go though but I’ll be sure to write a review in the next day or two! so far, it’s keeping me grossly entertained!

    This book is young adult romantasy about a 17 year old named Keylan and her phoenix Savita. They participate in phoenix racing to earn money when she’s offered a sponsorship to race with a reputable company. This journey brings about a romance with a rival rider, Coup and a company conspiracy that needs to be unraveled. This book started strong and I couldn’t put it down for the first 60%, then it kind of slowed down for me. I did love all the characters, the blooming romance and realistic storylines. I absolutely LOVED the writing, so easy to read and digest. It kept me reading as fast as I could to find out what happened next. I’m not usually a fan of young adult but this has me officially rethinking the genre. I really enjoyed the book!

    So far it’s OKAY I don’t think it’s anything ground breaking but it’s enough to keep me entertained. I’m keep on seeing the romance flourishing and excited to see how the job prospects go

    This book is about a man named Zade who is stalking a girl called Adeline. He begins stalking her then through a series of events, they start falling in love. I don’t really know if I liked the characters in this book they seemed a bit too cliche to be realistic as did a lot about the book. Some things like Zades profession, status in the company seemed a bit far fetched. Also the plot line about his work just seemed like it was written with the shock factors in mind, just a little unrealistic for my liking. I also think the author romanticised a stalker situation and sexual assault which could be very damaging. It also felt like a middle grader wrote it. The smut…. was alright, there were too many scenes though, I think half the book is just sex. WOW and the gun scene?? WHAT???? Anyway. This book needs trigger warnings BADLY. It was a little long for my liking too but it was entertaining, I won’t lie.
