A major bummer.

Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. Bullet pointing this “review” because I have emotionally abandoned this book and just cannot be bothered. *I was into this for first 10%, despite the terrible choice to write in first person present tense. *The blurb is extremely misleading. This is a friends to lovers romance. By the time I realized this was what was happening, it was too late for me to enjoy it, […]

I can’t think of a title for this review.

Twice in a Lifetime by Melissa Baron

by 3 Comments

This was fine. I don’t have much to say about it. I never really formed an emotional attachment to the characters, but it was a good enough time while reading. This is a speculative romance where the main character (Isla, just had to look it up) has recently relocated to St. Louis from Chicago after the death of her mother, and she starts getting text messages from a man who says he is her husband . . . from the future. DUN DUN DUN. Only, […]

I frequently have review titles longer than fifteen words.  Nevertheless, I decided to use the comment diversion to try to help myself through my review […]

Another enemies to lovers romance, I did say it’s my favourite trope

Official book description: Of all the decisions brilliant lawyer Victoria Clemenceaux has made in her life, an unforgettable one-night stand with her opposing counsel Owen Pohl is either the worst…or the best. One thing is certain: these long-standing rivals aren’t going to let their searing attraction stop them from winning the biggest case of their careers.

“Listen, there are different ways of getting closure and one of those ways might be to make someone miserable for the sake of satisfying your petty soul.”

When wedding planner Carolina “Lina” Santos was mere moments from her own wedding, the best man, the groom’s younger brother came to tell her that his brother had cold feet and would not be showing up to the ceremony. Since that moment, Lina has kept a very tight check on her emotions and is now proud of her reputation as trusted, efficient, and very unflappable  She obviously doesn’t want anyone to know about her own wedding disaster a few years back.  So it’s not all […]
