My Thoughts

I’ve wanted to read something written by Elle Kennedy for a while. I’m glad I did. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I thought both were well thought out and fun. Even though I can see where Heidi was coming from, I still didn’t like how she handled things between Cooper and Mackenzie. I’m glad Mackenzie was able to break away from her parents’ control. I’m also glad Cooper and Evan were able to banish their ghosts (figuratively and literally, iykyk).

My Thoughts

I loved IN STORMY WEATHER so much. The premise was so much fun. It reminded me of Twister/s but more believable. I loved Quincy and Sebastian so much! They had so much chemistry and their bantering was everything. I was grinning / chuckling every time they were on the page together.

My Thoughts

THE ROYALS NEXT DOOR was a really fun, sweet romance. I liked the nod to Prince Harry and Megan Markle. I thought the vilification of the paparazzi and media was really well done and made for an excellent plot device. I loved the characters, especially Piper, Harrison, and Piper’s mom. I loved how well Halle portrayed mental illness (especially Borderline Personality Disorder), the stigma surrounding both mental illness and BPD, and how much therapy can help.

My Thoughts

LIKE CATS AND DOGS was a cute story. I loved the concept and setting. Lauren irritated me a bit, though. I thought she was a little bit too whiny and not very empathetic to Caleb’s relationship hangups. If he had been divorced longer than a year or two, then I would’ve agreed with her.

My Thoughts

I thought AN ACADEMIC AFFAIR was a fun enemies-to-lovers and marriage of convenience romance. I liked both Sadie and Jonah. I thought it was a good look at how trauma and love can blind us to reality. I’m glad that was all sorted out in the end, though. I also liked another look at academia from a romantic POV. It’s cool that these types of stories are becoming more available.
