Right Where We Left Us (2024) Jen Devon "Everyone needs to experience this book! Tender, sexy, and emotional, Right Where We Left Us is a right person, wrong time love story told in the most immersive, heartachingly gorgeous prose. As soon as I finished reading, I turned back to page one because I wasn't ready to leave the wonderful characters and stunning setting of Cloud Tide just yet. Another perfect contemporary romance from Jen Devon."
Cross the Line (2024) (Lights Out , book 1) Simone Soltani "Simone Soltani cured my F1 off-season blues with this sweet and spicy brother's best friend romance. Cross the Line is all the fun and drama of Drive to Survive, but with way more kissing. An absolute delight!"
Old Flames and New Fortunes (2024) (Moonville, book 1) Sarah Hogle "My goodness - I fell so hard and so fast for this hilarious, cozy, devastatingly romantic story!

Christa Comes Out of Her Shell (2024) Abbi Waxman "If I could go on vacation inside Abbi Waxman's books, the utterly charming Christa Comes Out of Her Shell would be the centerpiece of my itinerary. Waxman's witty voice, complex and oh-so-loveable characters, and knack for writing romance that's both swoony and sexy absolutely shine in this hilarious, tender story about family, fame, and marine mollusks. I'll definitely be screaming about this one to anyone who will listen!"

Faking Christmas (2023) Kerry Winfrey "Like Mariah Carey performing 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Kerry Winfrey hits all the right notes in this super cozy and charmingly chaotic enemies-to-lovers romcom. Faking Christmas is a story you'll want to snuggle up with again and again - the perfect comfort read for the holiday season. I enjoyed every hilarious, heartfelt moment of this delightful book!"
Text Appeal (2023) Amber Roberts "Infused with snark and sex positivity, Text Appeal is a love letter to the MySpace generation.
