II adored Cade and Selena, and I could have easily read hundreds more pages about them. This was the sex-positive, clitoris-forward (is that a thing? I think this book made it a thing) romance I didn’t know I needed. It made me laugh and it made my heart sing.

Very much appreciated how the depression representation and seeing a character trying to figure out what their sexual orientation is and whether they might be on the ace spectrum. Unfortunately, the epilogue fell sort of flat after the rest of the book, which I had adored. I will likely read this one again, but skip the epilogue.

Libby and Palmer’s story was compelling and I was so happy to see Noelle and Helena again. If you enjoy competition reality show romances, age gap romances, or stories where emotionally guarded people slowly let their walls down, Limelight is the book for you.

More detail comes later in the series that clears up the consent issue and makes it all well worth sticking around for. If you pick this up, don't stop after this book. Be sure to read all three. It's sweet and steamy, with a lovely story of bisexual awakening. ...more

It happened again with Matzo Match and I’m so glad it did. It’s sweet, sexy, and kind of angsty. Make sure to pick it up, no matter what time of year it is.

Steamy and with plentiful sex scenes, yet still within the bounds of contemporary romance. And who doesn’t want to read about royalty plus a Hollywood star at a freaking castle? Oh yeah, and a couple of characters from In Development make an appearance! If any of these things are interesting to you, I highly recommend you check it out.

That said, I was most impressed by the way Poppy goes about deciding what to do with her pregnancy.
I was especially happy that every option is presented as entirely valid, whether it’s the one Poppy chooses (keeping her baby) or not. This story is truly pro-choice in every way, no matter what that choice is.

It has zero percent angst and one hundred percent love, making it a perfect balm for any bad day. It’s inspired by Anne of Green Gables! Anne and Diana falling in love? I was living for it from the first page to the last.

She’s 21, completely starstruck, and so sweet that I just wanted to protect her, especially when she learns the real deal about how Joanie is looking for her bed partner of the night. That said, I also can understand why she was swept up in the moment, especially once she was around Joanie. I’m glad that Kristen also demonstrates she’s very capable and has strong ethics (I won’t get into why, but just know that I loved this part so hard), because it shows there’s more to her than her identity as a Joanie fan. We also learn fairly late in the story that Kristen is autistic, and while I can’t speak to the authenticity of the autism rep, I’m mentinoing it since I know many readers are looking for that.

That said, I’m glad I stuck with it. The romance’s burn is incredibly slow with little angst, so the team dynamic does a great job of driving the story’s tension.

These elements are balanced well and keep things interesting, whether the reader is following Willa and Lee’s relationship, Willa and Nicole’s reconciliation, or all the spooky things around the lake. That said, while the bulk of the story takes place in the present day, it’s important to know that almost a quarter of the story takes place when Willa and Lee are teenagers, first falling in love.
