I DID NOT KNOW THIS! This was a top notch fun fact. Also, I hate it.

🤣

I think romance is most bought by women, yes. But stepsibling romance as a trope is NOT as uncommon as you want it to be... And brothers dating the same girl is also weirdly common. 😬

(But there are also books about people, err, being with doors... so maybe stepsiblings aren't that weird...)

Oh. I change my vote. THIS is the man-bear hybrid I'm willing to hang out in the woods with.

🤣Finally, a man we're willing to hang out in the woods with because all he wants to do is eat bark and nap in caves!

The Vessel - Juliette Cross 4*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

If you haven't read Juliette Cross, you should. She's one author I think is very underrated. I'm excited every time she puts out a new book because I know I'm going to have a good time.

Harbor Highlands & Brews & Flings By Gia Stevens 3.5 *

💙📚🌶️📚

These were cute. I found myself fairly sucked into the world, and I was excited when I realized there was a spin-off series.

I also just realized there was another one coming, so that's fun!

Also, I freaking love cartoon covers. They're always dirty and that juxtaposition is hilarious.

I shall add to my TBR, it looks great, thanks!

Have you read her Next series as well? SO good!

Starfall Point - Molly Harper 3.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These were cute, but I can't get over how quick everyone got over learning about the supernatural world. 😅

I thought the friends were cute, and them all finding a group and place to fit in was sweet. I thought the friendships were cuter than the romances though.

Out - Hannah Bonam-Young 4*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I low-key dislike both of these tropes, but they stories are so well done that it doesn't even matter.

1 is what other accidental pregnancy books wish they were. Falling in love under pressure, but so sweet!

2 is a study in re-learning to communicate with someone you've loved forever.

Kelley Armstrong: Writing Mr. Wrong + Finding Mr. Write. 4.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I love Kelley Armstrong. She can just write whatever genre she feels like and I'll read 'em all...

These are very cute. I liked the character development. I loved the guy in book 2 trying to play an idiot. Hilarious.

Mated to the King - Lola Glass 5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These are so fun! The magic is unique, but easy to follow. Each book shows you more of the world, but still feels cohesive. Characters/relationships are cute.

Millionaire Matchmaker - Kathryn Cantrell / Kacy Cross 3*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These were alright, but got repetitive as they're all in fake relationships. I did like that they were all there for different reasons, and thought overall they were cute.

Yes! I think between them I've read 90%+ of their books! So good.

Yellow books

Anyone playing the rainbow cover game!?

Share this and rec your fav YELLOW books!

Sins of the Zodiac Caroline Peckham Susanne Valenti 3*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I haven't been this let down by a book in a while. I'll try again when the next one comes out because I think I was expecting something closer to ZA. It was more fantasy than UF. And so far I don't care about anyone. If I didn't know who wrote it, I'd never have guessed.

Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Zodiac Academy Darkmore Penitentiary Caroline Peckham Susanne Valenti 5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

This is the closest I'll ever come to doing drugs. I'm addicted to these. The characters will never leave your head. The world is so fun.

They are THE best at giving you characters you hate.... and then somehow learn to love with all your soul.

The ONLY negative: some of them are TOO long

Vancouver Storm - Stephanie Archer. 4.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These are cute. If you're looking for a sports romance, this is a great choice. The characters are cute, there's more romance than sports, and I'm excited for a new one every time.

Chicagoland Vampires + Heirs of Chicagoland - Chloe Neill 3.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I like the world, characters, and most of the story lines. My biggest issues are the endings of each book which often feel anticlimactic. Also, that they mention Buffy a few times, and they have a story line VERY similar to season 6 and don't mention it. It bugs me. 🤣

Bedeviled AF - Deborah Wilde 5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I laughed. I yelled quotes at people. I automatically added it to my TBreR pile.

Go read anything by her and you're going to have a good time!

Crown of Shards + Gargoyle Queen - Jennifer Estep. 3.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

Did I like it. Yes. Could I tell you more than vibes 2 months after I read it? ..... no. 😅

Citrus Cove - Clio Evans 4.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I might have actually screamed at book 3. I feel like any book that makes me legit have a freak out gets at LEAST 4 stars. 🤣

The characters were very cute. And I loved that it felt well connected, but all the books were very unique too.

Creature Cafe - Clio Evans 3.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These were very good for how short they are! The premise is so fun and the characters are excellent. If you're looking to have a good time and enjoy some popcorn reads, look no further!

Black Dog + - Hailey Edwards 4*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

@haileyedwards.bsky.social is always going to be a good time. The world, the characters, the plot. All great!

She's one of the authors I save for when I'm in a slump because I know I will come out of it happier than I went in.

The Immortal Empire - Kate Locke 3*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I'm behind on reviews, but not so far behind I should have forgotten basically this whole series...

It was okay? I liked the world building and premise well enough, but I didn't really care about the characters.

Nadia Stafford - Kelley Armstrong 4*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

This isn't my normal genre of choice, but I still loved it. I'll eventually read everything Kelley Armstrong has ever written (I'm close!) and I won't regret a second of it.

Saint View Slayers vs. Sinners - Elle Thorpe 5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

These books have a choke hold on me. I put off starting this one 'cause I KNEW it was going to go dark... (And then read them in 2 days...) SO GOOD. READ them ALL now.

Prime Mating Agency - Regine Abel 4.5*

💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I'm kind of annoyed by how much I liked this series. I was expecting aliens and smut and 0 extra content. But the world building was fascinating, the characters were 3D, and the plot lines were so interesting! I shouldn't care about them this much, BUT I DO!
