ARC Review on books 📚

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hello Bookstagram Friends,

Last year, I had a resolution to finish just 1 book because I could never finish one. I didn't think I liked reading, but I fell in love with @mpmthewriter books. It was my first cozy mystery, and I realized that I liked her style. Being filipino and reading all the meals reminded me of home, and it brought me back in a good way! Then my friend @ticeandrea introduced ACOTAR, and I've never looked back. I've fallen in love with reading and all the different stories every single author I've come across. I'm so thankful for this community because it's my safe place. I appreciate every single one of you who is following me, and I can't wait for what's in store! We are just getting started booksters 📚

We've Been Waiting
By @miriamoboyeauthor

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The third book in the Serendipity series and it follows Skye and Noah's friendship turned dark romance. Not going to lie, the heat between these two turned me on. Miriam really knows how to spark an interest and keep her readers guessing on what will happen.

Skye just divorced her husband of two years and he is someone who should remain an ex for anyone looking for substance. They had built a business together and it seemed as though their marriage was nothing more than a stepping stone for Steve. Skye deserved more and having that be your first marriage, it was definitely a let-down.

Noah was best friends with Chase and Jordan, so when he noticed Skye. He couldn't help but develop feelings for her and become a shoulder to lean on. She was beautiful and kind. Although he felt something, he was also scared about moving on. Ten years ago, his fiancée had died in a car accident and his heart shattered so he felt like he couldn't get past it because he missed her.

Both Skye and Noah needed each other in more ways than one. Could they be each other's happily ever after? Would they be able to learn to love again without getting their heart broken? Is there even a way to trust without thinking they want something more, maybe someone more? Dive in and find out!

Compulsively Yours
By @allisonraskin
Thank you @netgalley

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Compulsively Yours is about two characters who go on a trip recommended by their group therapist to see if they can resolve one another's issues. But it actually was a matchmaking scheme if you think about it. Which makes it an even better read because who doesn't enjoy fake romance turned into real romance.

Libi has a family trip in Mexico and is dreading having to go, since her mother passed away six months ago and her father is planning on bringing his new girlfriend. Also, to make matters worse, her last long-term boyfriend is currently dating her cousin. She can't exactly bail because it would be too obvious why, so she needs someone to come along and be the buffer.

Nate has some major OCD issues with germs and anything that could be contaminated. His last relationship ended because he couldn't do anything without fear of catching something. Although, he is attracted to Libi and is willing to overcome these obstacles, or at least he think he is.

"Libi wanted to fight back at the insinuation that two neurodivergent people couldn't form one functioning relationship."

Sometimes when both people have issues that needs to be dealt with, then its nice to have someone who can understand what you are going through. Allison did a great job at writing these characters and how they overcome their personal struggles together. This is a romance book that is worth taking a chance on!

How to Tackle a Crush
By @dani_elias_books
Thank you @happilybookedpr

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What to expect:
💔MM romance
🌼Instalust to Emotional Connection
💔Right Person, Wrong Time
🌼Bigger MMC meets Tattooed Confident MMC
💔Steamy but Emotional
🌼Forced Proximity
💔Second Chance Romance

Ava is a journalistic proofreader who prefers to play it safe and correct grammar back in the newsroom. But when an opportunity presents itself for her to attend an interview for a popular football team manager, she reluctantly goes.

Jack has two jobs, football team manager and father to a 5-year-old son Alfie. Both he takes seriously and both he is committed to. So when he notices Ava sitting in the back taking notes, he decides to ask if she has any questions to ask. Little did he know that she would state facts that hit close to home.

"But you don’t sound like someone who came here for football reasons.”

Realizing that someone actually notices him versus his title and his team, is what intrigues Jack about Ava. Reading the book made me realize I'm actually quite similar to Ava, I've always been quiet and curious but never wanted to stand out. Seeing how the two of them help bring out a different side was comforting to read. Sometimes we go through life not thinking that there is more until the right person comes along.

Just One Night
By @sydneydevinewrites
Thank you @literarymediatours

📅 8.20.26
Available for pre-order now

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elle Davis is an amazing wedding planner but never felt that she needed to be in a relationship that led to walking down the aisle herself. There had only been one person she felt something for, but she couldn't allow herself to give in to her desires out of fear.

Greyson Turner made a promise to his best friend, Bennett, that he would watch over his little sister. But the more time they spent with one another, the more feelings started to develop and the hope that it could become something more.

When Elle's mother passed, Greyson made his move and that terrified Elle. Her father left them for another woman and that broke her mother, she turned towards alcohol and kept hoping one day he would return, so she never had a chance to heal and move on. Since Elle felt that it was up to her to care for her mother, she had to see firsthand how her mother was heartbroken and withering away. That made her resent her father.

Falling in love is a scary thing, especially if its someone who you're already close to and is you're brother's best friend. It becomes messy and awkward. But sometimes taking a chance when it could help heal your heart, would be worth the risk. Sydney Devine wrote this amazing read and had me falling head over heels with Greyson, I think it'll be worth the risk to take a chance on this book!

Peking Duck & Cover
By @vivien_chien_author

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Lana has been tasked to be the event coordinator for the Lunar New Year festival at Asia Village. Although near the end of it Rhonda, one of the entertainers, has been found shot and its up to Lana to figure out whodunnit. This time around Megan and Kimmy are assisting Lana and I'm loving every moment the three of them work together.

Rhonda had big plans and bright ideas with what to do with her life, so who could have wanted her gone? There are too many suspects and not enough information to get a clear idea of what happened. Lana, Kimmy, and Megan must figure out what happened and why did it happen.

With every Noodle Shop Mystery, there is always a clever twist at the end and always more than one conspiracy theory. Vivien really knows how to grab the attention of her readers and have them turning the pages before the sun comes up!

Diners, Damsels & Wolves
By @margot.primrose.romance

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The first book in the Sinclaire wolf pack series and it did not disappoint. A paranormal romance between a waitress and a shifter.

"...you love your aunt; how hard you work to care for her. I see how you consistently put yourself last, how much pain you're masking, all to put those you love first."

Clarissa Roberts works 60+ hours trying to make ends meet all while caring for her aunt who has dementia. Her aunt Rachel is the only family she has left since her parents died in a fire when she was young. One night, she ends up working late and gets attacked by a customer she had previously helped. Luckily, a handsome stranger was there to save her.

Thomas Sinclaire took over the family business, Sinclaire Lumber and became the alpha of their shifter pack, once his father was forced to retire after being injured. Soon after saving Clarissa, he felt the need to protect her. There was something about her that he couldn't shake the thoughts of getting close.

Since Clarissa has a busy life caring for Rachel and working all the time, does she even have time for a relationship? Tom is struggling with being an alpha and changing the way they do things, he wants to bring the shifters together so it benefits everyone. Can he tell Clarissa who he is and what his family represents? As someone who leads a normal life, will she be accepting of Tom?

What to expect:
✈️ Fake Dating
❤️ Opposites Attract
✈️ Cinnamon Roll Hero
❤️ Spicy Lessons
✈️ Romantic Comedy
❤️ Found Family

"Why am I like this? I can talk about flight mechanics for hours without breaking a sweat, but the moment romance enters the equation, my brain panics and starts flinging random trivia from the darkest corners of my memory."

Book 4 in the Brews & Flings series has taken a different approach towards dating. Miles is smart, strategic, and confident when it comes to his drones but when it comes to women, he is awkward and random. He decides to take action and join OneDate for he fears of being alone.

"OneDate isn’t about finding your soulmate, and it’s definitely not a hookup app. It’s a solution for people who need a date for an event—a wedding, a holiday party, a work gala. Or a high school reunion where your ex is bringing someone named Madison."

Nora works as a bartender but behind the scenes she has developed OneDate, in hopes that it will be the one job that helps her take care of her mom, who has MS.

Miles approaches Nora wanting to join OneDate, but she doesn't quite think that this is the app to help Miles with his dating problems. Reluctantly, Nora ends up giving him a chance but when his first date request ends up canceling, she ends up stepping in as his date and pretend 'girlfriend'. Eventually what was supposed to be fake ends up becoming real on both sides.

Could opposites truly attract one another? Miles is smart and knows what he wants, but Nora is unsure of herself and doesn't exactly have her future planned. The idea of falling for Miles scares her because she feels like he deserves more than she can offer.

Love can be a scary thing, but not giving it a chance is even scarier because if we keep fearing the unknown then we aren't really living. My husband and I are complete opposites but I can't imagine anyone else as my partner. The love he offers is full of passion and risk and if I could, I'd do it all over again.

Over the Line
By @haileyrodger.writes
Thank you @@lunaliterary.management

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What to expect:
🏒 Grumpy Goalie x Sassy Surgical Resident
🩺 Found Family (chaos)
🏒 Accidental pregnancy
🩺 Strangers to Lovers
🏒 Age Gap (10 yrs)

Reid Hutchison is a Goalie for the Colorado Storms. The goal is to make it to the Olympics, but when a meniscus tear threatens that future at 39, then recovery time might cause him to miss his chance.

Carina Park is a Surgical resident at the Moreno Clinic that oversees Reid's surgery. She is one of the hardest working surgeons that takes her job seriously that she forgets to even take care of herself.

"I don’t know what my version of forever is. But for the first time in a long time, I wonder what it might be like to have someone worth trying it with."

From the moment they met, Reid was attracted to Carina's smart wits and tough demeanor. There was something about her that piqued his interest. He kept showing up for her, letting her know that he cares, something that she isn't use to. They might have started this relationship as nothing serious, too afraid to admit their true feelings but sometimes the unexpected causes people to commit in more ways than one.

Book 4 of the Colorado Storm series really brings out the emotions with the unexpected pregnancy. As a mother, there is nothing like it. I'm really impressed with how she was able to bring these two strangers together and have them overcome the challenges laid out in the story.

The Strawberry Patch Pancake House
By @lauriegilmore_author

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

What to expect:
🥞 single dad x nanny
🍓 found family
🥞 grumpy chef MMC
🍓 forced proximity
🥞 slow burn

Archer Baer is a well-renowned chef who had a dream of chasing the Michelen-chef status in Europe. When he got a call that a woman named Cate died in a car crash and left him with a daughter he never knew he had, the dream had to take a backseat. He now had to figure out how to navigate a new life with Olive and a diner he never saw himself managing.

Iris Fraser has never saw herself as someone who would settle down, she was raised by a single mother and her aunt, alongside her cousin Bex. The only thing she ever committed to was being a swim coach to the elderly and that's because they depended on her. With no stability in her life, an opportunity presented itself for her to become a live-in nanny. Since she didn't have a place to call her own and money in the bank, it was a perfect solution to her problems.

Although, they are both finding their ways in the world. Sometimes all it takes is a new environment and a child to put things into perspective. Is working all those late nights, toxic environment in another country really worth it anymore? Can I just go through life not wanting to be in a relationship or committing to anything? Can things be simple by playing house or is it complicated? Let's find out if Olive will trust these new people who have seemed to have entered her life when she is dealing with the loss of her mother.
