Vivi and Finn are already in love with each other when they meet up again. That means the romance is about them figuring out that the strong feelings Vivi and Finn are already in love with each other when they meet up again. That means the romance is about them figuring out that the strong feelings they already have are entirely mutual, rather than watching feelings develop on one or both sides. This worked well for me, because Get It Right is a novella, so it only has so much space to convince me of their HEA.
If you like medical romances, thawing ice queens, and protagonists that are smart asses, you’ll enjoy this book. Major Surgery may not be my favouriteIf you like medical romances, thawing ice queens, and protagonists that are smart asses, you’ll enjoy this book. Major Surgery may not be my favourite book from Lola Keeley, but I still found it hard to put down. It’s a fun, gentle read that’s especially great for when you’re looking for something to hide from the world.

Luckily she’s surrounded by wonderful people, including Scarlett, her friends, Finnley, and even Finn’s dad, Anthony.

The love between Diana and Nora is exquisitely lovely, still there despite their time apart and with the same purity it held when Diana was a child. It’s that timeless love anyone might carry for a loved one who’s imprinted on their heart, long after any physical connection is severed by distance or death. Every moment between Nora and Diana holds a poignancy alongside the joy of reuniting because they’ve lost so much time and there’s so little of it left between them.

I feel like I’m saying this on a lot of reviews these days, but it’s still true, so I’ll say it again. The world sucks right now and we’re all tired. If you want to take a break for some self-care time, this book would be a perfect choice. It’s sweet and lovely, and while it has some angst, it’s not going to hurt you. Instead, it’s going to take you away from it all so you can come back with a smile on your face.

I was pretty sure I was going to love it, since fake relationship and rich girl/poor girl romances are two of my jams. Having them in one book? Worked very well for me.
Jae is a master of the slow burn romance and this is no exception. She did a fabulous job of building their chemistry from zero at first meeting to whoaaaa by the time they finally make it to the bedroom and whatever is beyond that when they bust out the ILUs.
Defintely recommend and I'll be rereading this one....more

Given that it’s a novella, this worked really well for ensuring we understand both women’s perspectives as they’re confronted with their past. Angela and Jackie are developed well, and I especially appreciated that as women in their 50s, they had different concerns than the much younger women we usually see in lesbian romance.

I didn’t want to go to work (but I did anyway), and I didn’t want to pay attention to my family (although I did that too)—I just wanted to devour this book. Despite life obligations, I still managed to read Rabbit quite quickly because I couldn’t not read it in every spare moment.
Rabbit is 100% a romance, but it’s an angstier and darker novel than I’ve read in a while and it works so well. There’s a side storyline with Alice having workplace issues that give the story and her arc more depth, and add grit that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. Ellendale has her plotting and pacing down pat, and the excellent character growth makes everything all the more satisfying.

More than simply a love story, it flat out celebrates love—romantic love first and foremost, but also familial love and the love of friends who are like family. The author’s love of the outback is also clear, with the setting so beautifully depicted that the place itself is almost like a character too.

It’s beautiful to watch as they get to know each other better and grow (or thaw) in ways that are necessary for them to each realize that the other is really good for her.

Between the Lines stands alone and has no connection to them except by theme, because it features a police officer falling in love with a doctor.
KD Williamson does amazing character work in all of her books, so that it’s like you’re reading about people and not just characters that someone made up. Whether it’s Tonya, Haley, or any of the supporting cast, it felt like I could have met any of them in real life and known who they were. None of them are perfect or even idealized, and it’s in their flaws that we find ways to become attached to them.

It wasn't exactly what I expected out of a medical romance, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
The characters were great and I especially loved Laleh and her family. I was also happy to see Jill and Crash from Just Physical and the cameo from Lauren and Grace from Damage Control.
Damage Control and Under a Falling Star are still my favourites by Jae, but Heart Trouble is a solid book that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys contemporary romances.

As with All the Little Moments, Flinging It tackles heavy subject matter in a way that isn’t overwhelmingly angsty or depressing and is actually very funny at times. The story is well plotted, the pacing is perfect and I found myself fully invested even when I wasn’t comfortable with how Cora and Frazer were handling their relationship.

I liked it even more than Never-Tied Nora (and I liked that one a whole lot). Although it fully stands alone, I was glad I’d read Never-Tied Nora first, because I enjoyed seeing Nora and Geraldine again and I came into this story excited to read about Sue and her journey.
