Phantasma by Kaylie Smith: Book Review
I didn’t think I’d enjoy Phantasma as much as I did, yet here we are. It’s like Caraval if you wanted it to be spicier and darker.

Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks Book Review
A sweet and soft rom-com that could have been even better without all the side plots.
This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan: Book Review
This book felt more like women’s fiction with a romance subplot; the writing was great, but I wanted more relationship development with the main couple.
Given Our History by Kristyn J. Miller: Book Review
This romance book wasn’t romantic at all — an elegy of misused plot devices, wasted opportunities and poorly done characters.
Savor It by Tarah DeWitt: Book Review
I wish I could say I liked this one, but I was so bored. It might not be a bad book, but it definitely wasn’t for me.
At First Spite by Olivia Dade: Book Review
I thought this would be my favorite romance of the year — unfortunately, all the memes and icky sex scenes (or rather, the heroine’s dialogue during sex scenes), ruined it for me.
The Wingman by Stephanie Archer: Book Review
What I hoped would be a sweet and spicy friends-to-lovers quickly turned into a cringey, bog-standard hockey romance.
Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti: Book Review
In which I find what is probably my least favorite book of the year.
Halfling by S. E. Wendel: Book Review
A monster romance that could have been great, but resorted to too much smut in the second part and ended up being too long.
