So I saw @v.k.dixon post this not too long ago and I’ve been wanting to do it too. So here’s my take on this trend 😊
I’m totally not a gamer, so I just swapped that category out for my Bible Verses category

Also, comment if I should do a real/formal type of intro post

These are some of my fav romance books ever! Plus they have great summer vibes!
And they’re all no spice/ closed door

Tropes like: brother’s best friend, small town, boss & employee, he falls first, amnesia/re-falling in love, he takes care of her, etc.

Book blurb:
My friends just dared me to ask the most annoyingly decent man I know to be my fake date to the gala.

One night. Show up, smile, make my ex jealous. Go home.

The plan is simple. He plays the part, I get closure, and we both walk away like nothing happened.

Except nothing about him has ever been simple.

He’s steady. Faithful. All dimples and thick-framed glasses, the kind of man who shows up when it matters—and somehow sees more than I ever say out loud.

And the longer we pretend, the harder it is to remember what’s real.

I’m so busy trying to make the wrong man jealous, I almost miss what’s happening right in front of me.

When I thank him for this favor, he answers like he’s teasing. “You’ve found my weakness.”

“And that is?” I ask, but I can hear the truth behind it.

“You.”

It was supposed to last one night—a fake date, a favor, a friend I was never supposed to fall for.

It doesn’t.

Because some dares remain forever.

Dare to Fall is a clean, slow-burn Christian romance filled with fake-dating tension, friends-to-lovers longing, achingly honest faith questions, and swoon-worthy almost-moments. Perfect for readers who love protective heroes with terrible dad jokes, heroines learning the difference between striving and remaining, and love stories that lead you straight back to grace.

Back this week with a new quote!
This one is from Meeting Me, Loving You by @abigailnadine.author
It’s one of my favorite quotes of the book, love like this is just so sweet! 🥰
I’m also picking it in honor of its sequel’s cover reveal a couple days ago (if you haven’t seen it, it’s gorgeous!). This lovely book is Abby’s debut and if you haven’t read it I highly recommend!

Blurb:
Ten years ago, Natalie felt trapped living in Maple Lake.
When love at first sight became her opportunity to be whisked away, she took it, leaving behind a simple note for her parents, but nothing more. No real goodbye. No explanation. Just a tight hold on the thread that tied her to Luke.
Now, that thread is fraying. While the pillars of their love still hold strong, his constant dismissal of her one request can no longer be ignored. Natalie is desperate to chase her heart’s desire no matter what it takes, even if it’s a road trip home where she doesn’t know if she’ll be welcome.
Escaping back to Maple Lake after all these years, with emotional baggage under each arm and anxiety a constant companion, Natalie has more than just her own heart to mend. She must face the family she abandoned and the choices that haunt her. And when Luke follows her home, it’s the choices she makes now that will keep them together or push them farther apart.

Natalie wants a future that includes kids, and Luke isn’t sure he can give it to her.
Is their love strong enough to keep them together for better or worse?
