My Thoughts

I absolutely adored HAPPY PLACE! I laughed, I cried, I worried, and I definitely squee’d. Harriet and Wyn were amazing characters. Even though a lot of their problems could’ve been fixed if they had communicated, I’m glad Henry showed that not only communication is hard at the best of times, it’s so much harder when depression, grief, and trauma are present.

My Thoughts

I really enjoyed reading SUMMER IN THE CITY. I loved both Elle and Parker and their lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers dynamic. I loved their banter and sexual tension. Watching them fall in love and figure out their shit was delightful. I also really loved experiencing New York City through their eyes and her screenplay writing.

My Thoughts

Since I really enjoyed XOXO, I was super excited to see a follow up with Sori and Nathaniel as the main characters had been written as well. I love second-chance romances and ASAP was no exception. This was such a cute, heart-felt, and fun story. I loved Sori and Nathaniel. They had amazing chemistry and a lot of fun banter. Their longing for each other was palpable and made for some delicious sexual tension.

I really enjoyed HOW FREAKING ROMANTIC. I thought it was fun emotional story. I really liked Bea and Nate. They had great chemistry. I’m glad Bea found a more healthy place to direct her anger. I’m also glad Josh got the help he needed and that he and Jill could have a better parting.

My Thoughts

IF NOT FOR MY BABY is my second Kate Golden book. I liked the first one just a tad bit better because of its urban fantasy genre. However, this was a fun, heart-felt romance about love, loss, and moving forward despite the pain. I really loved both Clem and Tom, their sexual tension, and their chemistry. I loved all the supporting characters as well and I’m glad a certain someone got what was coming to them.
