Midnight Liaisons | Series Review

Midnight Liaisons | Series Review

If you know me, you know I LOVE my paranormal romances. There is always an added suspense of pack dynamics, can they control their shifts, and so much more. I adore shifters. I always have. One of my absolute favorite series over the last year has been the Midnight Liaisons series by Jessica Sims. Technically, it is a five-book series, but there are a number of novellas that are set in the same world. I have read all of them (novellas included). If Sims put the title Midnight Liaisons on something, I read it. Plain and simple. With that being said, I have my top three picks from her series.

Win Some, Lose Some | Book Review

Win Some, Lose Some | Book Review

I am a huge fan of first love stories and this one was a win ;) I think Shay Savage captured the autism experience; panic attacks, needing order/routines, and so forth. The relationship between the two characters (Mayra and Matthew) is #relationshipgoals. They were perfect together. I LOVED how patient Mayra was with Matthew. After dealing with loss and trauma, his autism took over his life. Mayra gave him space when he needed it and knew how to help him when the occasion(s) arose. Their dynamic was *amazing*. Talk about soulmates. 

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick | Book Review

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick | Book Review

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick was a book that caught me by surprise. I LOVED it! When I first started reading My Life Next Door, I thought it was going to be reminiscent of Judy Bloom’s Forever or similar to The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle. But, as the story progressed, it moved past the teen romance element and into something much more intense. Fitzpatrick incorporated romance, moral dilemmas, and friendship dynamics. By around the 200-page mark, I could not put the book down. I was so engrossed in the storyline, I had to see what was going to happen.

No Filter by Orlagh Collins | Book Review

No Filter by Orlagh Collins | Book Review

If you know me, you know I love romances. Plain and simple. First love stories especially. There is something about first love that just strikes a chord within me as the reader. No Filter is just that, my cup of tea – a first love, contemporary, coming of age story. This had all of my favorite YA literary elements in one. Needless to say, I read this in practically one sitting (with minor breaks to refresh my cup of tea).
