Rock star romances can be a mixed bag for me, but Gray had me at "cinnamon roll writer" and Emory and River's incredibly unique meet-cute. As their interactions progressed, Gray also provided me with one of my favorite tropes ever (idiots in love) as Emory and River both try to hide their (sometimes low-, sometimes … Continue reading Book Review: Pretty Obsessed (Pretty Broken #1) by J.R. Gray

I am a huge fan of this author in her persona as a contemporary MM romance writer (E.M. Lindsey), so I immediately pounced on this book when it came out.

Review: Beautifully Unexpected by Lily Morton
Morton excels at packing humor and emotion into a vibrant, immersive story that you can't help but read straight through to the end. I knew that, as usual, her storytelling would leave me with the sort of book hangover that is difficult to shake. Mags and Laurie wormed their way into my heart much as … Continue reading Review: Beautifully Unexpected by Lily Morton
