This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan: Book Review

November 19, 2024 by Kristina P
this could be us 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.

November 19, 2024 by Kristina P
given our history book review

This romance book wasn’t romantic at all — an elegy of misused plot devices, wasted opportunities and poorly done characters.

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

at first spite 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 book review

What I hoped would be a sweet and spicy friends-to-lovers quickly turned into a cringey, bog-standard hockey romance.

halfling 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.

echoes of the tide book review

One of my most anticipated books of the year, and it failed to satisfy. I still love this series, but Echoes of The Tide is my least favorite.

A surprisingly decent fantasy romance that might have bored me at times, but was good overall.
