Rating: 4 out of 5.

Andie and Kit dated but broke up and Kit moved out of town. He’s now back in Atlanta to care for his ailing mother. Andie and Kit both sign up for a reality show, each for their own reasons. The premise is that they marry a stranger sight unseen and if they divorce they get $100,000. But you know it can’t be that easy, right? Of course not. Who does Andie get paired with? Wait for it. Kit! (shocker, I know)

Right Number (Getting it Right #1) by Ella Sparkle

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I’m a sucker for books that includes text conversations between the main characters, so I jumped at the chance to read this one. It is such a cute closed door romance I found myself smiling the whole time I read it. Anna is a college Junior Art student on the east coast and is having a horrible, terrible day. That is, until she gets a text from Mason. He’s on the west coast and is looking for a woman named Susan he recently met at a bar to ask her out for a drink. Anna tells him he’s got the wrong number, but instead of that being the end of that, they keep texting each other. Their conversation continues until a sweet friendship begins.

Pucking Only (Night Hawks Hockey Series Book 2) by Katie Strong

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Apparently I am in my hockey sports romance era, because that seems to be all I’m reading lately – and I’m not mad at it. Of course, it helps that I seem to be signing up for a lot of hockey romance book tours….but I digress.

This book is great. It has all the fun tropes I love – enemies-to-lovers, best friend’s brother, hockey, steamy scenes, tight white t-shirts and GREY SWEATPANTS. I mean, seriously? What more do I need to say?

This is book 5 in the Foxbrooke book series and it’s time for Leo to fall in love. It’s a fun and sexy friends-to-lovers contemporary romance.

Ice Ice Maybe by Rich Amooi

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This contemporary hockey romance was just too cute. One of my favorite romance tropes is fake dating, and this was one of the more unique ways the couple end up together. Plus, the book is set in San Diego where I live, so it was fun to read about places that I am familiar with that are mentioned in the book.

James Hunter-Savage is the perfect name for an enemy, and Lady Estelle Foxbrooke has despised him since she and her twin brother Henry were 13 and James relentlessly tormented Henry at Eton. If that wasn’t bad enough, James and Henry worked at the same company and James stole the biggest deal and client that Henry had. James is the devil. Beelzebub incarnate…..he’s, he’s, he’s, Estelle’s new business partner. What just happened?!

This Day Changes Everything by Edward Underhill

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I really enjoyed author @edwardunderhill ‘s first book, Always the Almost and despite being decades away from high school and all the angst it entails, I still felt seen. I couldn’t put the book down and just sighed with a big smile on my face after I read it. So, when I saw that he had another book coming out, you know I was knocking down @wednesdaybooks door for an ARC copy of it – and boy, I was not disappointed!!

To Woo and To Wed (The Regency Vows #5) by Martha Waters

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a fun, flirty and fulfilling finale to a wonderful Regency RomCom series – although, I’m very sad to say goodbye to it. While this is the last book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.

This book has my favorite romance trope – fake dating – as well as second chance love. West, the Marquess of Weston, and Sophie, Lady Fitzwilliam Bridewell were nearly engaged years ago until West was in a terrible accident leaving his best friend dead and West with an injured leg. Years later, Sophie enlists West in a scheme to pretend to be engaged so that her sisters will feel free to marry. Neither counted on old feelings rising to the surface.

Deciding that her boyfriend is a selfish narcissist that she has made excuses for for far too long, she takes a job in southern England working as a project manager on a building site – something she’s never done before.
