New Orleans Rush was a different read for me. I was drawn to it as it sounded like it was something new from Kelly Siskind. Plus, who can resist a New Orleans setting? I had a good time reading this book overall. There were moments that I thought were a bit slow, but it was an enjoyable read overall.

Umm. This book was quite something. I haven't read anything from this author before but I had heard such good things from other reviewers. I was excited to try The Girl He Used to Know since it features a second chance romance and an autistic heroine. It started off on a decent note.

Star Quotient: ★★★★★

The Austen Playbook was my most anticipated spring read. I love Lucy Parker and her books - I re-read them ALL the time. The Austen Playbook also happens to feature her perky heroine and a grumpy hero, so I knew this one was going to be spectacular. Lucy Parker never disappoints and The Austen Playbook was just as brilliant as I expected it to be.

Not going to lie, this book was totally a book I picked up because of the cover. It's so pretty and eye-catching. Often times my cover whorish ways can lead me astray, but luckily for me, The One I Love To Hate was a book that was right up my alley. It hit all the right notes for me and it's definitely made me want to pick up more books from Amanda Weaver.

What a fun read! Alexa Martin's debut romance, Intercepted, was a great read and I had high hopes for Fumbled. I'm happy to say that Fumbled was even better than Intercepted for me. I can't say I'm surprised, however. After all, it does have one of my favorite tropes of second chance romance. :)

Genres: Historical, Romance, Adult
Publisher: Berkley Romance

Star Quotient: ★★★★★
Kiss Factor: ✷✷✷✷✷

I would be a liar if I told you that I didn't know going into When We Left Cuba that it would be a book that I would love with all my heart. Last year, Chanel Cleeton completely won me over with her historical debut, Next Year in Havana. It was poignant, romantic and so interesting. When We Left Cuba was just as enthralling of a read. I loved it so much - it is easily one of my favorite books of 2019.

Suzanne Young's The Program series is one of my favorite YA series of all time. I was excited to read something new from her. Girls with Sharp Sticks was another imaginative story from her. This story was rage-inducing but in a really good way!

I've been stalking The Takeover Effect pretty much since it was announced. A romance novel about brown/desi people falling in love? Heck yeah, I was all over that. It's safe to say that I was hyped for The Takeover Effect and oh my goodness, did it deliver or what! It was fierce, sexy, and just one of the most romantic books I have ever read.
